Which begs the question of just how victorian literature would be different if Jane had been packing Vera?

Don't forget to get a London A-Z street guide. If you're going to be out and about in London, you'll really need it. One of it's more invaluable things is a map of the Underground.

Have a lovely time at which ever you decide.

While I'm not an Austin fan, I can understand your dilemma. Heck, the first day I spent in Dublin I spent half of it at the Writer's Museum.

What about splitting up the Collinses to set Charlotte up with the Doctor? I've always had a sneaking sympathy for Charlotte - especially as portrayed in the most recent movie. We could send Mr Collins the way of Saffron.

oh yes, absolutely....
Lady Catherine had encouraged Mr. Collins to take up beekeeping, so of course he ran right out and set up a couple of hives but handled them clumsily (as he does everything) and he is stung to death...
but of course while he is suffering a lingering painful death, Simon comes to treat him and cannot help but appreciate Charlotte's many fine qualities.

One of which is her ability to sweep a man off his feet without waiting for HIM to make the first move.

Kaylee having already been stolen from Simon because Darcy has no problems stepping up and telling a girl how deeply he loves her (and Darcy learned his lesson about complaining about her low origins, so he manages to not insult Kaylee with his proposal).

Oh, what a dilemma! Believe it or not, this morning I had on "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and watched the extras on the Serenity DVD. Right now, I'm watching my Pride and Prejudice DVD.

Can you go to both? Is the Jane Austen festival a one time thing, or every year? I do not envy your position!

Mal:We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

I just checked my Credit Card and they have finally charged me for Serenity3 so I shall be going to the ball! (I assume there will be a ball, seems a perfect opportunity to get all fancied up and practice our P&P witty dialogue as per Shindig!)

I sympathise - I did the same thing in Dublin. I've worked out that the Austen festival is longer than the weekend, so I will try to attend some events after Serenity 3.
Thanks for the tip about the street guide - will do! Will I see you there?

Do you think that Badger might be tempted by Anne De Bourgh's high breeding? Or than he could con Lady Catherine into approving? Or maybe we're not giving her enough credit - she might rebel against Lady Catherine and run off with Fess Higgins...

Unfortunately not. I'd have to save for at least a year or two to be able to afford an overseas trip at this point.

Have fun for me, take lots of piccys and don't forget to share 'em with us.

well actually I was thinking that Inara might end up liberating poor Anne de Bourgh...
(you know Inara would ultimately be happier in a position of wealth and power...)

BTW I see you CAN attend at least part of the Jane Austen Festival because it will go on a full week, that is so great! You get to have your proverbial cake and eat it too (soooo is Mal the cake?)
