Yes. <br /><br />I want Margaret's lacy blouse in that PD Week button.<br /><br />Also, I am feeling a great urge to watch Emma again.

Ah, poor Gilbert. He always ...Thank you, Missie. :)<br />Ah, poor Gilbert. He always seems to be replaced by some Jane Austen hero or other in our hearts as we get older. ;-)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-84083763819174667212011-09-07T05:41:24.545-06:002011-09-07T05:41:24.545-06:00Great post, I really enjoyed reading it.

I remember being quite in love with Gilbert as a little girl *blushes*<br /><br />MelxxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210949601658438992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-71757410677432010152011-09-05T19:01:39.556-06:002011-09-05T19:01:39.556-06:00Miss Laurie,
I always love reading your thoughts ...Miss Laurie,<br /><br />I always love reading your thoughts on my posts! (And of course, everyone else's.)<br /><br />Well, just because Mr. Smallweed is <i>annoying</i> doesn't mean I don't think he's funny - he does make me laugh, and my family and are always quoting "Shake me up, Judy!" or "Judy, shake me up!". It also made me laugh when he saw the guy that was murdured and said "Oh my eye - he don't look well."<br />But on re-viewing Bleak House he does start to annoy me very much. <br /><br />Mr Panck's expressions are what makes him especially funny. Like when he said "Well well. Uncle Ned...is dead." (My family and I quote that part too, tehe)<br /><br />I almost like Fanny by the end; but she's rather pathetic. She still is very self-centered (if less rude), and petty (for instance: "And now I suppose I shall have to go into mourning and not go out in society, when I just bought all these new dresses expressly for that purpose!") But yes, I do like her much more by the end. If only she would stop doing strange things to her face & wear her hair differently! ;-)<br />I really love Amy and Uncle Frederick.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more of yours as well! :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-3232181943629139602011-09-05T18:49:59.744-06:002011-09-05T18:49:59.744-06:00Yay! Your answers!
How you got into period drama...Yay! Your answers! <br /><br />How you got into period dramas sounds similar to mine. I often take Anne of Green Gables for granted now but my mom used to watch that at least once a year while I was growing up!<br /><br />Love how you phrased your question #2 answer! <br /><br />Emma 2009 would be one of my favorite period dramas too but when I answer I'm going to take Jane Austen adaptations for granted so I can comment on my favorite period dramas from other authors. It's hard to decide because there are so many great period dramas out there!<br /><br />Love all the characters you mentioned in question #5!<br /><br />Mr. Bennet is a very witty character, and Mr. Panks is quite funny! :)<br /><br />Ooooh, you don't like Mr. Smallweed? I think he's hilarious! He always makes me laugh with his "Shake Me Up Judy!" Amy Dorrit's Uncle Frederick is quite splendid and I almost learned to like her sister Fanny. <br /><br />Hard to pick just three favorite characters, but good choices! :)<br /><br />Can't wait to read the rest of your answers dear!Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096222035851269474noreply@blogger.com
