  1. That Mr Knightley picture. It's in one of my posts-to-come. :-D

    Yessss. A good book is better.
    And MRS JENNINGS. She's hilaaarious, man. We watched S&S'95 yesterday and laughed a lot at her funny scenes. "Does your sister care for olives?" :-D

    Thanks, Erudessa!

  2. Catherine Morland would be such fun to play! Especially if one were provided with a good Mr. Tilney to play opposite.

    And you're absolutely right -- what is the point of taking children to a wedding if they can't eat cake? I know might would put up a horrible fuss if the cake was withheld.
