You all stole my LOL lines!   Written by Siobhan (8/11/2003 10:12 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: An LOL JA line, penned by Deborah Jane
Are you new?

But there are plenty more to be had! S&S is just so full of them, I find myself giggling almost constantly. How's this one, from Chapter 1 while discussing the inheritance of Norland:

The whole was tied up for the benefit of this child, who, in occasional visits with his father and mother at Norland, had so far gained on the affections of his uncle, by such attractions as are by no means unusual in children of two or three years old: an imperfect articulation, an earnest desire of having his own way, many cunning tricks, and a great deal of noise, as to outweigh all the value of all the attention which, for years, he had received from his niece and her daughters.

JA must have known some two year olds!! ;-)
