I think I would put it this way:... Written by Maria Liourdi (5/5/2007 7:13 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, It does not seem out of character to me...., penned by Eaffie

...she prefers reading over cards but conversation and the study of character it entails over reading.

At first, I should admit, I thought it was rather strange to give up her reading: that drew attention to her and her character and started a whole conversation. She is supposed to be fond of reading...How easily she closes her book!

But after reading the posts here I tend to believe it is for the economy of the novel: she must enter the conversation... especially because Darcy must examine her more closely...
