chaise vs. horseback Written by Emmanuelle (1/11/2004 10:45 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Interesting!, penned by Mandy N

Mandy N wrote : Yet I wonder why at the beginning A D shifted focus from Mr and Mrs Bennet talking to the men arriving-and on horseback. Dramatic effect? Or to get immediately into the story. IMO, they should have left the chaise.

I suppose it would seem more "manly" for modern audience to have Bingley and Darcy on horseback !! ;-)
And Bingley asking Darcy his opinion about Netherfield establishes a pattern in their relationship : perhaps it would prepare people for Darcy's convincing Bingley to leave Netherfield so easily later in the story.
