But there were other causes of repugnance; -- causes which, though still existing, and existing to an equal degree in both instances, I had myself endeavoured to forget, because they were not immediately before me. -- These causes must be stated, though briefly. -- The situation of your mother's family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison of that total want of propriety so frequently, so almost uniformly, betrayed by herself, by your three younger sisters, and occasionally even by your father. -- Pardon me. -- It pains me to offend you. But amidst your concern for the defects of your nearest relations, and your displeasure at this representation of them, let it give you consolation to consider that to have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your eldest sister, than it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both

You tempt me towards changing my avatar to Mary Bennet, but I shall refrain from doing so...

And... Spoilers my dear friends, spoilers (there might acctually be people out there who have not read this...)

Elizabeth: "You are mistaken, Mr Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner. You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it. From the very beginning, from the first moment I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain for the feelings of others, were such as to form that ground-work of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."

LOL Ylva! I think the website is in danger of becoming a Jane Austen one

Imagine how SRD will react when he sees it!

Nonsense, nonsense!

He will most assuredly not fail to admire a fellow writer, especially one of such excellence an with such a delightful countenance!

And we must show him the fireplace at Rosings! Upon my word, it is a delight! Lady Catherine De Bourgh herself chose it.

Is this really the true mr Darcy speaking? Are not you sir, mr Collins in disguise?

Post by **Loredoctor** » Tue Jan 06, 2004 2:10 am

Well, Mr Darcy making fun of Mr Collins. He is a prat.

Post by **Ermingard** » Tue Jan 06, 2004 2:36 am

Yes, Mr Collins is a prat and a git and several other things that are unspeakable... *shudder*

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Jane Austen: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single chicken in possession of a good fortune, is in want of a road.
