It would really be a boring world if everyone agreed. Not to mention we would never have any interesting JAFF stories!

I'm not sure the fact that JA writes Jane Bennet was happy with Bingley means that he wasn't easily led or "weak".While a lot of us might think that a woman - Jane Bennet - could not possibly be happy...

Good stories, both, but the second one is unfinished!

Dang! I'm making great headway into the second one too

Been such a long time since I read these two but the 2nd one has "The End" written at the end of what is posted. Makes me wonder now what is missing!

Roxey, what story are you lookng at? "Regard and Regulation" had an Epilogue and even has a teal dot on it which is only there if the story is finished. Maybe you are missing a link somewhere.

It's really fascinating to see how many different ways there are to read Austen's words! My take on Bingley is that he's young and orphaned (hence his reliance on his older, cleverer friend's advice...
View ArticleLittle Nell, had I seen your post,
I would not have felt the need to also post. I am not sure of how I missed it, since you posted first. But I agree completely.

Actually, there are, Jean. I think the thing you have to remember about the example you raise is that Bingley did not want to have his two guests, Darcy and Elizabeth, having an argument. But on other...

I agree that the primary intent of the unsaid remark was to tease Darcy, but still, it does not display Bingley's willingness to be influenced in a very favorable light. Perhaps to say "less than...
