Back off, he's mine .......:argue:!

Oh, okay, I'll give way so long as I get Darcy and his enormous....estate ;).

:rage:

Back off! How dare you! You can clearly see he prefers me. Anyway, I look better in such dresses than you!


Frederick Wentworth (looks scared and a little puzzled at the amount of people arguing):

Ladies, Ladies, please be reassured of my sympathy with you all, but do remember we are living in a society which requires manners foremost. I would be honoured to spend some time with you all but it is absolutely necessary that we understand that one man's life is too short for spending time with half the world. What do you think, Darcy?

Darcy (looks a little surprised):

That life is very long when one is married.

I know at the end of the book he claims to have only ever loved Anne, but I reckon when the gentleman at Lyme did a double-take as she walked past, his interest was peaked. There's nothing like a rival to spur a lover on.

sense and sensibility has started :)

I've only joined today, besides that I've already read all of those Jane Austen books mentioned. Is that cheating? :p
