Finally, I'd try to be as completely faithful to the book as time allowed me to be. But for me, details aren't as important as overall feel--it should arkle!
I completely agree. The story, dialog can be successfully abridged so long as the tone is orthodoxly conceived. THat's why I could forgive the omissions in Emma2.
