I have never noticed that detail before, but you are obviously quite right!
Good catch!

I think the difference is significant.
The picture one gets of an attic is much different than a third...

Yes it is.



I was married to the man of my dreams for almost 27 years.

Actually, I am unfamiliar with what you are refering to about Doyle murdering Sherlock Holmes. I guess I didn't read that book.

I know that a lot of women found Colin Firth "desireable" but I...

I agree with you. Mr. Darcy is a bit of an "ideal" person... a sort of "superman" much in the same way Sherlock Holmes was a rather ideal man. Yet she didn't make him SO ideal as to be impossible to...

I don't see it that way...
or are you are being sarcastic?

Well, you know what they say...

I don't understand why someone would ask the question. How could we... almost 200 years later... know what the culture of the community was like back then? I would think it would only be after we...

Ah. Thanks for that. perhaps I am wrong about her being an "accomplished woman", then.

I always see Caroline as the "accomplished woman" they describe somewhere in the book. Yet what is so very obvious is that even though she is "accomplished" it seems to me she should have spent more...

I wish I could help but I am unfamiliar with those modern works so I am just as clueless as you are.

I don't care for books that take too much license with the characters. After reading reviews on Amazon.com I bought DARCY'S STORY by Janet Aylmer. I liked it very well, if I recall.

I am in agreement with this view... though I didn't know it was rhetoric... and it didn't appear to me to be "mocking". Perhaps in the culture of the day, the classic British understatement meant...

Yes... that's what I meant. He said Wickham was his "favourite" because Wickham would provide him with the greatest amount of foolishness to laugh at.

The question should have read, "Who did Mr. Bennet say was his favorite son-in-law." Then the answer of Wickham would have been more true, for I don't believe Wickham was ACTUALLY his favorite, but...

Hi kiki...

umm... would you mind very much posting the chapter number for me... perhaps from the text version on this website?
