Too True!!! Whenever we have a PBS drive in our area they always show Anne of Green Gables then immediately follow with Anne of Avonlea. If I've just gotton up and turned on the TV -- I'm then done for!!! I won't shower or dress. I will stay in my "jammies" all day just watching TV. My son and husband know to stay away and leave me be for the whole day.

: Yeah. Also the only Doris movie I like: Teacher's Pet with Clark Gable. Only, the dissonance can really be felt only in her character.
: It represents a variant different from the P&P flavor of the theme: stories in which the woman is "above" the guy, socially or in this case by education. Another example: another newspaper picture in which Kate Hepburn and Spencer Tracy both write for the same paper? Which one was that?

Couldn't rest in peace until we had The Henry Song:
(Link, link, link, link, link, link)
Henry, oh Henry, say, have you read Henry?
Henry, the Myst'ry H.C.
He has links the girls adore so
Does he bore so? Try to score so?
Henry? Not Henry, the very best of men 's he!
Henry, the Jane-ites' guru
Hit his site when you're stumped, know not what to do.
Churchyard is the man who will always be true.
Lost in Austen? It's exhaustin' Oh- What to do?
You can learn a lot from Henry.
(Link, link, link, link, link, link)
When his page is unfurled, he will show you Jane's world.
If you type in and ask him there
On his text you can see Pemberley de Darcy
Or Catherine crossing the Lizzy fair.
(Link, link, link, link, link, link)
(Link, link, link, link, link, link)
Henry, oh Henry, the very best of men 's he!
Henry, the Myst'ry H.C.
He has swept his admirers clean off their feet.
His words on the screen make their hearts skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of Jane's fleet
For we're all in Au---- of Henry!
I link Henry
You link Henry
I link Henry
You link Henry
Churchyard!

Right. That too. I remember those prices, I am afraid. I also remember that peculiarly harsh illustration style that somehow always puts me in mind of John Galt, whoever he is.
But what I really meant was that in that book she intended to spoof the Gothics and (I think) might have enjoyed the approach as a joke, not caring if some people thought it serious and others knew it was poking fun at itself.

: : : : Yes, I did. I also saw it late in life (along with Austen- what was I doing during my youth?) but loved the stories and went and bought all the books. I was a little taken aback to find that they were located in the childrens section, but then so was Little Women and I still read that as an adult (however I did discover that book in 5th grade!)

: Wickham was more social and had more outward charm (even if it was ratheuperficial.

: '"To be sure Lizzy," Said her aunt, "He is not so handsome as Wickham; or, rather, he has not Wickham's countenance, for his features are perfectly good..."'
:
: - Mrs. Gardiner, upon departure from Pemberley.
: I think you guys are right. Wickham is oh-so-attentive and charming - he says and does all the right things, and leads women to believe that he really is interested in them. And isn't being admired part of what attracts a woman to a man?
___________________
Making of P&P book has a great pic. of Julia and Adrian on
page 12. I guess it's ok to pick apart their characters in P&P,but when you read this book you see them as very fine actors. Their suppose to bring out our likes or dislikes .
Which is why we like P&P because of their acting abilities.
Also how hard they all worked.
JA said it was her dearest chid. It is very dear to me.
Hope Emma will be too.
ciao, bello signoras and signores Donna
Posted by Emily Jennifer on October 12, 1996 at 21:47:58:
We understand wanting wealth in the family but this woman is obsessed!
Wanting Lizzie to marry Mr. Colllins (that toad-with no social grace whatsoever!)
Torturing Jane over Bingley? Yes, it paid off but we both agree no man is
worth almost dying of a fever, regardless of how many pounds a year
he has! (Darcy maybe....)When Lydia runs away with Wickham, she's more
worried she won't know where to shop and that Mr. Bennet will be shot
so they'll all be tossed out by the Collins'.What a nut!

I thought it was great fun, although more melodramatic than P&P2. One of the male leads (possibly the
one who runs off w/ the woman at the end) was played by Greg Wise who played Willoughby in Sense
and Sensibility. Another Austen connection.
