I'm glad the S&S scene where Elinor finds out Edward isn't married was among the favorites. It always makes me cry. She has been so strong and it all just comes crashing out of her. <br /><br />I love all the scenes mentioned and also the "accomplished woman" scene in P&P. I love when Darcy accuses Lizzy of willfully misunderstanding him. I swear, I think if they'd been alone in the room for that debate, he'd have kissed her then.MonicaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059381106713282439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-52697658255680214312011-06-16T16:33:47.028-04:002011-06-16T16:33:47.028-04:00Austen was a master when it came to small things. ...Austen was a master when it came to small things. A child's naughtiness, writing a letter, or just meeting someone you didn't expect became pivotal moment in her work. <br /><br />I just hope I can hit that sweet spot now and again.<br /><br />Thanks for having us, Jane.Susan Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599394499288052327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-91577824345896094202011-06-16T15:44:51.458-04:002011-06-16T15:44:51.458-04:00It was lovely to see all the Austen Authors respon...It was lovely to see all the Austen Authors responses together like this.

I love the scene where Darcy asks Elizabeth to marry him (for the second time) after she has been living on tenterhooks wondering if he still loves her or if he is just checking out Jane' feelings for the sake of Bingley.C.

I have to say I adored the scene in Persuasion where Wentworth writes that swoony-worthy letter to Anne, but I also enjoyed the scene where he takes little Walter Musgrove off Anne's back. I so love that book!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.com
