I just love the ending paragraph of P&P. I think it‘s a testament to Elizabeth of her altered feelings, not only for Darcy, but having a deeper understanding of herself and allowing her sentiments to change.

Thank you @sprainedbrain for coordinating us for this read along! 😘 Can‘t wait to watch some P&P and read adaptations!

In honor of Elizabeth and Darcy happily ensconced at Pemberley - Bubbles to drink and I lit my new The Gardens at Pemberley Candle. It smells of Honeysuckle, Rose Petals, and Jasmine.
A toast to @sprainedbrain for bringing all us #Pemberlittens together. Delightful always.

Crinoline_Laphroaig As to the Annotated Edition - it's beautiful. But all the Footnotes distract from just reading the story. Found myself read Chapter 1st out of one of my other copies then going back a reading Footnotes. So I actually read the book twice. I'll have to count that on my Goodreads. 😉 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig But I did learn a lot. For instance Last Chapter talked about how P & P has is the most Fairy-tale of her books. Handsome prince + Beautiful maiden. 3y

"Oh! thoughtless, thoughtless Lydia!"
This chapter shows just how Lydia's actions will affect her sisters marriage prospects. I think this is why Pride and Prejudice is so hard to modernize. Women today aren't going to starve in the hedgerows if they don't marry.

"There was now employment for the whole party—for though they could not all talk, they could all eat; and the beautiful pyramids of grapes, nectarines, and peaches soon collected them round the table."

Since my trip to UK 3 years ago, I have often contemplated which is inspiration for Pemberley. Lyme Park or Chatsworth? After rereading today's Chapter (for the umpteenth time) I'm going with Lyme Park. Obviously from this my favorite pic of house & Italian Garden, it's gorgeous. It's where Colin Firth P & P was filmed. Has a quiet sedate beauty; while Chatsworth is more opulent. ⬇️ @sprainedbrain #pemberlittens

OMG all the feels. This is my all time most favorite chapter of the whole book! The proposal, the language, the raw emotions, the expectation and denial. I often just reread it; conveys the whole essence of P&P. I‘m swooning. I‘m in about as much agitation of mind as Elizabeth is, not with as many tears, but to think of her being an object of admiration from Mr. Darcy! He‘s feels much in her refusal.

Graciouswarriorprincess It‘s one of my favorites as well. This and the end when he is walking across the field! 3y

staci.reads Agreed, so much swoon, and my heart hurts for him every time 💔 3y

DAB This really got me. I was so surprised she refused him. But then again she is Elizabeth. 3y

sharread He did an awesome job plus he's super handsome 😜 3y

Prairiegirl_reading IMO Darcy is so repulsive until he says he proclaims his love and then he‘s different but I totally love that Lizzy doesn‘t just change her mind right away and accept. Just because a man professes his love doesn‘t excuse his behaviour. 3y

sprainedbrain Such an amazing chapter! 3y

CrowCAH @Graciouswarriorprincess In the movie that is a great scene! 3y

CrowCAH @staci.reads I agree. He‘s so hopeful for a positive answer. 3y

CrowCAH @DAB it is shocking, because like Charlotte said to Lizzy to make herself agreeable to him, he has money, Elizabeth sees beyond the material and at the actual person, or who she interprets that person to be. 3y

CrowCAH @sharread yesss, Matthew MacFadyen is a handsome man; makes an excellent Darcy! 3y

CrowCAH @Prairiegirl_reading very true. I‘d be offended too, if he said he‘s loved me against his better judgment, my family connections, and those closest to me. I‘ve broken up with boyfriends, because they didn‘t respect my mother. 3y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain it sure is. What gets me, as we read the book slowly chapter a day, is that Elizabeth is blind to his growing attentions to her. She sees it as an impertinence on her time. 3y

This is another chapter with A LOT of great quotes!

One of my favorite quotes: “True; and nobody can ever be introduced in a ball room.” Elizabeth said to Darcy.

batsy "I am ill qualified to recommend myself to strangers" needs to be on a t-shirt for me ? 3y

Palimpsest @batsy agreed, and I actually feel quite sympathetic with Darcy in this chapter as he honestly seems to be what we call introverted. I‘m an awkward conversationalist at first as well. 😊 3y

batsy @Palimpsest I'm the same :) I sympathise with Darcy, too. It is interesting though that the narrative doesn't extend that same understanding for poor Mary to explain herself (I feel she suffers from the same, but maybe lacks the self-awareness...) 3y

CrowCAH @batsy @Palimpsest I agree, it would make a great shirt! And I find it difficult to converse with new people, too; it‘s hard to seem interested. But once I get to know people, it‘s easier. 3y

I‘d have to say one of my favorite scenes from the 2005 version when Darcy and Elizabeth dance at the Netherfield Ball and all the other dancers vanish.

The score by Dario Marianelli is just gorgeous! 🎼

Watch all three glorious minutes! 😍 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yNIAv34eVRk
