Days 18-19
Day 18. Moment that made you smile/happy while reading.
Two words: Henry Tilney. Almost everything he says brings a smile to my face. I'm particularly fond of this quote from Northanger Abbey:
Delighted with her progress, and fearful of wearying her with too much wisdom at once, Henry suffered the subject to decline, and by an easy transition from a piece of rocky fragment and the withered oak which he had placed near its summit, to oaks in general, to forests, the enclosure of them, waste lands, crown lands and government, he shortly found himself arrived at politics; and from politics, it was an easy step to silence.
Day 19. Moment that made you laugh while reading.
This passage actually comes just before the one I quoted above:
She was heartily ashamed of her ignorance. A misplaced shame. Where people wish to attach, they should always be ignorant. To come with a well-informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others, which a sensible person would always wish to avoid. A woman especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.
Ouch! I love Austen when she's being mean. :)
