GR Great Paragraphs, Indeed

in consequence of the missive, GR delicious paragraphs in chapter 34, penned by alexl
] Has Fanny met her match in lady Middleton for vacuity. Hmmmmm, it's a toss up, they are equally obnoxious. :-) ] Mrs Jennings silent for 7 1/2 minutes. I could be wrong (correct me if I am) but I interpreted this as meaning Mrs. Jennings observed that Mrs. John Dashwood did not speak to her sisters, Marianne and Elinor by marriage, for seven and a half minutes. Unless she was listening to a bit of gossip, I can't begin to picture Mrs. Jennings quiet for that length of time with company in the room. Surely the earth would tilt off its axis. She is a fun character though.
