BOOKS: Pride and Prejudice Update

We have reached a small snag in the book. The handsome and smouldering Mr. Darcy's first name has been revealed. It turns out that he is christened Fitzwilliam. What an unfortunate name. Takes a little of the bloom off, no?

If you must fall in love with someone, isn't it just nicer when they have a dashing name? Fitzwilliam. How undashing.


On the up side, I have discovered a most charming line:

"And not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections."

How delicious. How moody. How me. :-)
