At least three surprises Written by Line (3/27/2009 10:04 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, So how did you do with your focus?, penned by Lynn

As a first-time all-the-way-to-the-end reader, I was surprised at least three times:

- that Isabella and James were engaged so soon
- that Isabella actually broke off her engagement to James before becoming officially engaged to Captain Tilney
- the whole "Henry fell in love with Catherine because *she* was in love with him" thing!
