] I found it fascinating then, that when Henry Tilney is introduced, there is not a single negative to describe him! He is tall, has a pleasing countenance, good address, is intellegent, with lively eyes! This great long list of what everyone is not followed by a long list of what Henry Tilney is! Was JA as enamored of him as we are? ;-)

Thanks for pointing this out. I have to say that any guy who knows fabrics and can be trusted to pick out gowns for his sister, especially in this time period gets my vote!
