Yeah I know what you mean. Definitely a possibility. I look forward to seeing how he really turns out to be...like his true colors. ;) Katie

Oh yes!  It's gonna be interesting! Lots of fun! :)  But, anyhow, I had a good time today, Katie...but, I'm going to have to get! Talk to you soon!  Tell Zach I missed him being at the meeting! Emily

I know what you mean about Jane. I think that's really wise. I find it really strange how quickly Mr. Darcy went from being a rude prideful person towards Elizabeth to being polite and interested in her...odd. Katie

It is kind of strange about Mr. Darcy having such a sudden change of heart.  Though, what if he had been rude earlier because of his discomfort at the ball? I mean, yes, he was most certainly wrong to say what he did, but maybe he didn't entirely mean it.

That part was funny! ;) I must say that I think I disagree with Charlotte's comment when she said "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance." I think it takes much more than chance. And about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's new found interest... I can definitely understand Elizabeth's side after the way he treated her.

Yep, I certainly understand why Elizabeth had no interest in Mr. Darcy. And I totally agree with you on Charlotte's comment on happiness in marriage being a metter of chance.  I like how Jane is being guarded...not something you see today...today, girls are quite open with their emotions, which often leads to heartbreak.  Emily

I  actually am finishing the last bit of chapter 6 right now...lol (I know...I'm slacking. :P) But I've really enjoyed these last couple of chapters. I think they may be favorite so far. I thought it was funny how they were discussing how to deal with Mr. Bingley and Jane's feelings towards one another. ;) Katie P.S. I totally forgot...and I'm really sorry...but Zach had to work today so he's not going to be able to make it.

Haha! I was actually reading chapters 5 and 6 this afternoon....I know I was running WAY behind this meeting!  Ah well! :)  Anyhow...yeah, I really enjoyed these two chapters too.  I love how Mrs. Bennet and the little Lucas boy are arguing at the end of chapter 5.  That cracked me up! :) Emily

Hi Katie! ;)

Yes, Katie, I am still here!  Don't worry about running late...I was too! :)

So, what were your thoughts on chapters 5 and 6?

Pride and Prejudice-Chapters 5 and 6

Hi there!

Sorry that I'm running a bit late today.  My computer is being VERY SLOW, so that's making things a bit difficult....but, anyhow....So glad that you could be here today to be part of our book club meeting!  Hope your day is going well and that you're ready for some more "Pride and Prejudice"! :)

Chapters 5 and 6 introduced us to the Lucas family.  It also gave us a deeper look at the personality and characteristics of Mr. Bingly, his sisters and his friend, Mr. Darcy.  We learn that Mr. Darcy is beginning to fall for Miss Elizabeth Bennet, though Elizabeth is far from interested. 
What are your thoughts on these new characters?  What do you think of the Bingly family and Mr. Darcy now that we know more about them?
