:D I could not help rolling with laughter though what I have read of L&F, but so far this is the most hilarious to me because I love the way JA often attributes human qualities to objects:

My Father started -- "What noise is that," (said he). "It sounds like a loud rapping at the door" -- (replied my Mother). "It does indeed," (cried I). "I am of your opinion; (said my Father) it certainly does appear to proceed from some uncommon violence exerted against our unoffending door." "Yes (exclaimed I) I cannot help thinking it must be somebody who knocks for admittance." (Letter 5th)
