Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Ch. 23/24: Sir William announces Charlotte's engagement to Collins and the Bennet women just about lose their minds. Lydia is a total dick about it and Lizzy has to tactfully interject some well-wishes, and Mrs. B is livid. Then Caroline writes that their party won't return to Netherfield, and btw, Miss Darcy is just SO amazing. Jane tries to be calm but Mr. Bennet turns the whole thing into a joke (see the Reddit user below who clocked his ass).

Ruthiella I love how rain causes such illnesses in Regency/Victorian novels (see also Sense & Sensibility). 💧💧🤒 10h
mcctrish OMG the twists and the turns. Pork chop is a master manipulator #oceans11vibes Percy Pig is such a twat! Where the hell did typhus come from? I swear at this point I was thinking did the ‘private nurse‘ bring it? Or were they just one step away from typhus at this point in history despite being upper class and having household staff to clean up the lice, etc…? 10h
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was going to google it, but i was afraid to go down the rabbit hole 🤣 I am very suspicious of the whole thing though, like was it ever typhus? Did they pay that young doc to lie? So many questions! 10h
Bookwormjillk This section was bananas. What do we read tomorrow? The rest of Epoch 2? 10h
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s only like 10 pages, how sweet is that?!? 10h
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I feel like this entire book is a lesson in gaslighting #idontknowwhichendisup #trustnoone 10h
Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead very sweet! @mcctrish yes on the gaslighting. I feel like Pork Chop is playing chess and Percy is playing checkers but they‘re both very effective in their manipulations. 8h
julieclair So much going on here!! I love it! But I‘m very afraid for Laura in London. 😬 3h
Leftcoastzen Didn‘t they mention that #countporkchop knew about poisoning? Some of course kill you , but others can make you sick. Though lady gets wet , gets a chill, gets real sick is common in these novels 2h

JamieArc This is for real. My husband works in health equity and received this. Words like Community? So ridiculous and maddening. 1d
Jari-chan 😑😑😑 1d
ElizaMarie I know there are some very important words on here, but --- I grew up near the Gulf of Mexico and I will NEVER not think of it as such. Other words are worth more of the fight (yes) but... NEVER! 1d

TheAromaofBooks I have been genuinely impressed by the different voices for the different POVs. Each one has really sounded distinct - even the tiny postscript by the Count yesterday. This was honestly maybe my favorite so far, despite the fact (because of the fact??) that I can't stand this guy! 😂 2d

mcctrish I hate all the men but @TheAromaofBooks it‘s true, each POV is so distinct it really is awesome 1d
mcctrish Will they send Marian to the asylum? 1d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg I hope not, but if she‘s alone in that house there‘s nobody to stop it from happening 1d
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead and unconscious/delirious with fever 😔 they knew she was out there, they lured her 1d
ElizaMarie Its a toss-up for me on which male character in this book I hate more. That #UncleUseless I almost pity him! Almost! and #EweSecretions !!! 1d
Bookwormjillk This was really funny and frightening all at the same time. This picture is perfect. The count is really playing chess. What is going on? 1d
CatLass007 Hi my friend. Would you please remove me from this and all future posts except for what‘s coming up next year? I am so overwhelmed with buddy reads. I have to cut something somewhere. I may still read the books and pop in from time to time, but I‘m trying to take some of the pressure off myself. Self imposed pressure. 1d
Bookwormjillk Also I'm listening to Pride and Prejudice now too and imagining it being told from the perspective of Uncle Useless. I wish all books had an Uncle Useless chapter. 1d
BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 I totally get it! 1d
CatLass007 Thank you. 1d
Clare-Dragonfly #CountPorkchop is SO DIABOLICAL!!! I am afraid for Marian because I‘m pretty sure #UncleUseless is wrong about Laura being unwilling to leave without her, when they already agreed on this course of action. And of course if the count thinks it‘s a good idea, it must be a bad one! 1d
Clare-Dragonfly @TheAromaofBooks Yes, good point! I knew the Count was the author of the postscript within a line or two. 1d
Leftcoastzen #uncleuseless makes me laugh then I get so angry at him! OMG ! The POVs in this book are all so good. It saddens my heart that these women are trapped in this situation. 1d
KAO Ah! I am caught up after a brief lapse. I agree that the varying points of view are marvelously done! I am very worried for Marian at this point, as I considered her the strongest character to search for the truth and defend Laura—and as I see that no other coming chapters in the table of contents appear to be coming from her point of view, I fear the worst. Meanwhile the grumblings of Mr. Fairlie really amused me! What a curmudgeon! 1d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yes! Each POV is so well done! And today‘s section is perfect and so hilarious! 1d
BarbaraJean Today‘s section was much-needed comic relief after the infuriating postscript to yesterday‘s section… and also really frustrating because I NEED to know what‘s happening back at Blackwater and what #countporkchop is plotting. (And I‘ve read this before… I just don‘t remember 😂) 1d
julieclair I must admit I enjoyed the comic relief #UncleUseless provided in this section, secretions and all! 3h
