Ok, well, most of you reading this have read/seen/ become huge fans of Pride and Prejudice. Anyway, the other day I got this book called "Mr. Darcy's Diary." It's what it sounds like, Mr.Darcy's Diary. It has all of the events that took place when Bingley and Darcy were in London, and all the places the Bennet's weren't. Anyway, I'll try not to give too much away, but this book gave me an incredible look into Mr.Darcy's head. Although it wasn't written by Jane Austen, I thought the author, Amanda Redgrave, who specializes in creative interpretations of Jane Austen, captured Darcy very well. He's a bit insecure at times, and a bit melancholy, but his sense of wit and humor is absolutely hysterical. Basically, READ THIS BOOK!!!!
Anyway, I just HAD to post this humorous section that I just read, forcing me to post it.
In this part, Mr.Bingley is very anxious to go see Jane. hahah, I love Mr. Bingley =D
The Following (until I say otherwise) is written by Amanda Grange, and belongs to her entirely. I'm merely posting this for your enjoyment so you go out and buy the book. (See? Marketing AND a disclaimer. *pumps fist* Yeah, they can't sue me now.;-)
"Bingley was ready to leave for Longbourn half an hour too early.
"We cannot go so soon," I said, although I was just as eager to set out.
"We might be delayed on the way," he said.
"Not on such a short journey," I replied.
"Jennings will not want to drive the horses too fast."
"We will reach Longbourn too soon, even if they walk all the way."
"There might be a branch in the road."
"We can drive around it."
"Our carriage might lose a wheel."
"We cannot go for half an hour," I said, settling myself down with a book.
I wish I felt as complacent as I seemed. I was anxious to go as Bingley, and yet I was reluctant to go as well. He had the happiness of knowing his feelings are returned. I had no such reassurance. To see Elizabeth again! I hardly dared think about it. If she smiled, what joy! If she avoided my gaze, what misery.
Bingley walked over to the window.
"You should do as I do, and choose a book." I said.
He walked over to me and took it from my hands, then turned it round before handing it back to me.
"You will do better if it is the right way up." he said.
He looked at me curiously, but I did not enlighten him as to the cause of my distraction."
End quote from "Mr. Darcy's Diary."
Hahah, Those Pride and Prejudice men are soo funny =D Besides Wickham... I disliked him alot before, but since reading this, my disgust has grown into a form of disgusted hatred. Blehh...Wickham. *growls* Haha, anyway, hope this made you laugh as much as it made me =D
