I have to say, I LOVE this part of the book we are discussing now, and I actually couldn't wait to finish reading the last chapters which I finished off this morning (but I will not discuss them until the time is right.)

I so enjoy Austen's unfoldment of the story... particularly to the knowledgable characters. Such as these lines from Ch. 44:
Her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on the business. Nothing had ever suggested it before, but they now felt that there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece.
