Listen, I mean this kindly, but Mrs. Elton was incorrect when she said Frank Churchill "wasn't the least bit puppyish." Girl, have you ever met a puppy? Clearly not.

Jane... Jane, what aren't you telling us? She's cracking. She's ready to commit murder. It's almost time

The ball, guys... the ball!

Mrs. Elton, could you be any more full of yourself?
Mr. Elton, could you be any more of a bitch?
Miss Bate, could you possibly monopolize the conversation any more?

Mr. Knightly... I see you, dude. I see you!

Jane Austen excels at writing annoying characters. I do mean that as a compliment. All of her characters who are supposed to be annoying are, in fact, deeply so!

I started reading this a couple years ago, got bored and stopped, and then promised Mia for ages that I would pick it back up again. The day is finally here!!! I'm definitely enjoying it way more this time around. I'm just a couple pages away from the point where I left off last time and I can't wait to get into new territory!
