Probably, but not the answer.
Heh heh. I thought this was an easy one.

Were you going for the fact that they're her first four novels?

I can't believe she's let us struggle with this...

Come on, Aileen.

Come on, Aileen.

Poor old Johnny Ray, sounded sad upon the radio;
Broke a million hearts in mono.
Oh our mothers cried, sang along, who can blame them?

You've grown (You're grown up)
So grown. (So grown up.)
Now I must say more than ever.

(Come on, Aileen.)
Toora, loora, toora loorye aye.
We gonna sing just like a boulder.

Come on, Aileen,
Oh I swear (well he means) at this moment
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
my thoughts, I confess,
verge on dirty.
Ah, Come on Aileen.

Come On, Aileen.

These people round here
they've been down with sunken, smoke-dried faces
So resentful what their fate is,
But not us (no never),
no, not us (no never),
we are far too young and clever.

(Remember)

Toora, loora, toora, loorye, aye.
I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on, Aileen,
Oh I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's
take off everything,
that pretty red dress, Aileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on, Aileen,
Pleassse …

Come On, Aileen, Tooloorye aye
Come On, Aileen, Tooloorye, aye, toora.

Now you're all grown (toora), Now you (toora) have shown (toora),
Oh! Aileen.
Said, you've (You) grown (toora) (it's strange that our feelings have grown),
so grown (toora) (about how you feel)!

Now (toora) I (toora) must (toora) say (toora) more (toora) than ever,
things round here will change.

I said, Toora (toora), loora, toora (toora), loorye (toora), aye (toora, toora, toora).

Come on, Aileen,
oh I swear (well he means) at this moment.
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
my thoughts (I confess)
verge on the dirty.

Ah, come on, Aileen.

Come on, Aileen,
oh I swear (well he means) at this moment.
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
Oh, my thoughts (I confess)
verge on the dirty.

Come on, Aileen,
oh, ho, ho, (well he means) oh, ho, ho ...

Maybe Aileen was looking for that all four were written before Austen was thirty? Or that all four were made into movies? Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were made for tv movies, but I don't think they ever hit the big screen.

Mr Google says they all attended private schools?

I would have said they were all presidents of something at some point?

I was going for something a little more specific than that, but you're on the right track.
