Regarding Mr. Lucas (and I am so glad you asked that) I am working on the assumption that Charlotte would have a full grown brother, though we never meet him in the book, who is to inherit Lucas Lodge.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-63706552846931169852009-12-21T09:52:49.366-05:002009-12-21T09:52:49.366-05:00I have finally gotten a chance to sit down and rea...I have finally gotten a chance to sit down and read these chapters! It is wonderful! I love hearing Darcy's inner thoughts and I love how changing his fatal comment about Lizzy being tolerable has produced this big twist in the story! I cannot wait to read more! <br /><br />When you said Lizzy was dancing with Mr. Lucas is that Sir William Lucas or did Charlotte have a brother?<br /><br /Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081700715706497061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-18958490199369348682009-12-18T11:41:33.542-05:002009-12-18T11:41:33.542-05:00I'm so glad you are enjoying it!

My intention was to make this funny, as it is Jane Austen's humor that I most enjoy about her work, and I am ecstatic to have succeeded in making you laugh. <br /><br />I have always thought that Darcy's rudeness was not the result of sneering disdain, as so many others have read it, but of shyness. Granted, this explanation allows me to further Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-66963403380015160502009-12-18T11:00:20.521-05:002009-12-18T11:00:20.521-05:00I was laughing through most of this because of how...I was laughing through most of this because of how everyone is watching and giving their own estimations of what is going on. It's what I would expect a room full of people to do: sit back and gossip. It was fun to read.<br /><br />I can understand Darcy feeling the way he does in large groups. I'm glad he had Lizzie to ease his nerves.

There is not a ton of Jane and Bingley in the book, sorry to say, but as the entire point was to strip the story of its suspense and get everyone happily settled without undue heartache, the Jane and Bingley plot line gets wrapped up pretty quickly.<br /><br />I figured that if Mrs. Bennet can call him handsome, Elizabeth can call him handsome, and even Sir Lucas can Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-39938732723134469102009-12-15T23:12:26.584-05:002009-12-15T23:12:26.584-05:00Yay for Jane/Bingley sections!

I had a professor friend point out that they never actually have dialogue together in the original book - something I'd never noticed before!<br /><br />Only one note struck me a bit oddly - the use of "handsome man" to refer to Bingley - I mean, he is that, but it just didn't seem to quite fit with the rest of the style and characters.ibmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914380316134426353noreply@blogger.com
