Pride & Prejudice, Volume III, chapter 5 (ch 47)

[kellyrfineman]

On the way to Longbourn, the Gardiners try to convince Lizzy that perhaps Jane is right, and maybe Wickham and Lydia are merely lying low in London until they can get married, rather than traveling all the way to Gretna Green. After all, they reason, Wickham is unlikely to risk his career and reputation, right

Poor silly Lydia!

Also: a side-note. Over one long evening, my sister and I watched the entire mini-series and noticed that the actress playing Kitty was always dashing out of the room whenever things were getting a bit too "intense" (like above). It became so noticeable, that we began saying:

"Aaaaaand Kitty peaces-out again."

Just another notch in my nerdlet belt. ;D

Ooh! I'll have to watch for it - I just got myself a copy of the remastered edition of the BBC miniseries!

No wonder so many readers ship Mary & Mr Collins.

I love that although this is a time of much distress for our main characters... there is still much to laugh at in this chapter... Mary's ridiculous speech, and then Mrs Bennet, speaking abut her husband fighting Wickham and how bad the situation is, dispersed with little notes about wedding clothes (the real important point in all this)

Austen is a genius, y/y?
