I finished P1 last night. It was the 3rd viewing since September 12 and I must say that it gets better and better. I particularly focused on Anne and Charles this time and here are my thoughts.

- I like Charles, his good-naturedness, the way he rolls his eyes and makes funny noises when Mary demands his attention concerning the china, the card-party etc.
-I also like the scene at the Musgroves' when Mary is not the first one to dance with CW. Charles comes up to her, extends his hand and says something like 'you can fight with Louisa over the second dance after..' and then takes her hand. It shows he is still in love with Mary.
- The long walk - Charles keeps dropping Mary's arm in order to chase after a weasel.
- His goodnatured teasing of Mary about going to the theater while her father had invited them for the cardparty.
- I like the fact that he is the only 'big' Musgrove.

- I really like this Mary. Very much her father's daughter, vain, class-conscious, petty and spoilt. But also good-natured, someone who can be good company at times and to have a good laugh with. Although she uses Anne, she is also the only one of the family who values Anne for what she is, her sister, her father's daughter.
- It is easy to imagine why Charles wanted to marry her and why he still likes her.
