JA's descriptive phrases are so concise and precise   Written by Cathy Allen (10/31/2008 4:48 p.m.)
Are you new?

There are, of course, so MANY wonderful descriptive phrases throughout JA's work, that I could spend all day and not get them all. In this week's chapters though, I took note of a few to share:

Chapter 19 -- Sir W and Elizabeth engaged in the elegant stupidity of private parties
Chapter 20 -- Sir W and Elizabeth meeting Lady D at the concert with all the eagerness compatible with anxious elegance
Chapter 22 -- Elizabeth, pretending with affected carelessness she doesn't care about inviting Mr. E and Mrs. Clay being coy in convenient silence
Chapter 24 -- Sir W and Elizabeth living in a state of half enjoyment because they would have to do the flattering instead of being flattered, after Mrs. Clay left.

It's such a joy to read JA! Anyone else have some?
