Re: Ignorance and Irony - Chapter 11 (Part 2) - 7 years ago

I have to say, I hate the idea of Elizabeth giving up a title because Darcy doesn't want to change his name. Can't their first son take the name Talbot, get the dukedom, and the second son be a Darcy and get Pemberley? Love this story, sad to see it ending! Marion

Re: Has anyone read Jodi Taylor? - 8 years ago

I love the Connie Willis books. I'll have to look for Jodi Taylor if her books are along that line. Marion

Re: How well do Filmmakers get Austen's Characters? - 9 years ago

Your description of the actors' physical attributes is very harsh. I don't think there's a reason to refer to an actress as "two bag ugly". That being said, when I watch an adaptation of a book, I don't look beyond superficial physical characteristics - had E. Bennet been blond, for example, I would have had an issue. I look more for intangible things. For example, Keira Knightley can't convince

As a married woman who has on occasion referred to herself as Ms, i think that's a fairly offensive way to look at it.

What the heck does that mean? In today's usage it means a woman prefers not to identify herself by her married state. Not insulting at all.

Re: "...Not that there's anything wrong with that." - 9 years ago

I don't see anything in that sentence, or in subsequent dialog with Mr Bennet that would make me think that he thought Darcy was gay. I think his concern is that Darcy is incredible haughty and thinks himself above everyone (men and women alike), and when he talked to Lizzy about the marriage, he is concerned that she is going to end up in a marriage like his.

Re: The Road Back - Chapters 48-51 - 10 years ago

I've read this story a few times, and I enjoy it every time! I think you've done such a delightful job with the characters, changing their situations, but still remaining faithful. I noticed one slight typo- Richard told Miss Thompson that he would call on her father next morning at 2. I don't imagine her father would look to kindly on a suitor who called at 2 am!

Re: Seen And Unseen - 10 years ago

Thanks for posting about that story. It is very well written, and the plot line is unique while remaining true to the spirit of P&P.
