Pride and Prejudice
Why aren't things like this anymore? Why can't I go visiting for months on end? Why can't I read books and write letters when I wish? Why don't people come calling? Why aren't there lovely places for me to perambulate? Why can't I be the smart and saucy beauty who drives the haughty rich man to distraction? And for heaven's sake, why can't Colin Firth be single?

I agree! We must've been born in the wrong era. :(
although, knowing my luck, i would've been a servant, so my life wouldn't'a been that great anyway
just so you guys know, even married women don't get to hear their men say "you have bewitched me, body and soul"
That's because we live in the wrong era! ;)
Well Darcy didn't actually say that either- or did I miss it somewhere in the book?
You could come and visit here for a few months if you like.
I really REALLY wish I could go walking most months of the year, through meadows and woodland. I miss Sweden!
I think I would have been Catherine of Northanger Abbey if I had lived then.
that line's not in the book, nor is it in the colin firth movie. and i don't expect a man nowadays to say that, didder. that's why i said back then. cuz i'm sure that's what guys were really like.
i miss traipsing through the woods and meadows at holsby, too. let's go back there.
i don't know catherine of northanger abbey.
I don't know her either
Well then you MUST read Northanger Abbey! It's my favorite! Yes, I like it better than Pride and Prejudice because it's so self-deprecating. It's all about this girl who loves to read novels and how she gets silly ideas about life from them.
The BBC movie that was just done is quite good as well. Very nice end scene.
