Quite Written by Robbin (4/12/2010 6:36 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, "It is a truth universally acknowledged....", penned by Elizabeth K

interesting Elizabeth K, thanks for putting this out for us to share. The journal excerpt is fun; I wonder how many folks recognized it from P&P. I do not quibble with your analysis but Bingley seems already quite taken with Jane. Perhaps he is in want of a wife. How happy it would make Mrs. Bennet! (:D)
