'His name was good', Written by Mandy N (9/28/2006 9:36 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, JA's way with words, penned by teri-mc

Are you new?

I like JA's use of this phrase in ch.9 when the Dashwood ladies find every circumstance on Willoughby of such interest.

Did Marieanne like the sound of the name, or found it becoming like his jacket.

What's in a name. ;)
