My focus for this read is on small objects and movements. Seemingly insignificant objects are interesting because of the economy of Austen’s style. For example in this half sentence from chapter 2

Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat

a hat is mentioned. A hat will return later in an interesting way. I will therefore try to notice the mention of small (insignificant) objects and see if they too have a pair elsewhere in the novel.

Tracking insignificant movements will be more difficult but I will attempt to capture that as well. I will be looking for small gestures as well as movements of people with respect to each other. I probably will not have enough time to give this topic justice.

And now to enumerate the objects in first 3 chapters:

- Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat – ch 2
- he (Bingley) wore a blue coat, and rode a black horse – ch 3
- With a book he (Mr. Bennet) was regardless of time – ch 3
- “I never in my life saw any thing more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs. Hurst's gown -- " – ch 3
