What a wise observation about Northanger ...Jillian,<br />What a wise observation about Northanger Abbey's ending! I never thought about it that way before but I think you might be right. :) The whole book is a parody, after all. <br />Of course that doesn't excuse the abrupt ending of Mansfield Park...Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-62824521644877210452011-12-21T09:52:09.053-05:002011-12-21T09:52:09.053-05:00I love your answers!

I can't wait to read <i>Mansfield Park</i> and <i>Emma</i>; those are the only two I have left. <br /><br />Also, I LOVE the ending with <i>Northanger Abbey</i> Austen just suddenly sloughs over it all -- like she's making fun of happily-ever-after endings. I laughed aloud through the whole sudden ending. :D*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-27621267191939559732011-12-18T06:50:58.145-05:002011-12-18T06:50:58.145-05:00I enjoyed reading the answers of the one who creat...I enjoyed reading the answers of the one who created this tag--and the rest of your Jane Austen Birthday Week posts.

I had lots of fun participating. I only wish I'd had more time this week but Christmastime always gets so busy. <br />Maybe next year several of us bloggers could collaborate on a bigger birthday week event. That would be fun! :)<br /><br />Your former thoughts on the P&P quote made me laugh! You had quite an interesting idea before. A gentleman without a wife does seem to have a larger income and "a woman without children is the best preserver of furniture in the world." ;)<br /><br />Henry Tilney's proposal would have been such fun to read! Perhaps is Miss Austen had lived longer she might have expanded NA and had it published. I think she would have added more to Persuasion too, like telling more of what happens after Anne and Wentworth marry. <br /><br />Well "Curious George", I quite enjoyed telling why! Thanks for coming up with such interesting and fun questions to answer!Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096222035851269474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-13345463087897071182011-12-17T20:28:22.053-05:002011-12-17T20:28:22.053-05:00Oh!

What pleasure to direct some of my followers to yours, Miss Dashwood! =) I'm glad you found it, Julia.<br /><br />But, Miss Dashwood, this is the beauty of it; I wasn't really thinking about what Elizabeth Bennet would do. I just got her amusement! =) I felt quite merry.<br />I do TRY sometimes; however it doesn't usually work.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-9786126512187643442011-12-17T20:09:09.352-05:002011-12-17T20:09:09.352-05:00Julia,

I'm quite curious a well!<br /><br />I was rather like Elizabeth Bennet myself when I was at a birthday party last night... for some reason I felt hardly at all shy (not usual for me) and there was a couple potentially awkward situations which instead just amused me. I was feeling amused my quite a few things that could upset, annoy, or intimidate me! It was really quite useful. I enjoyed my Elizabeth Bennet mode. I hope I'm in it often. ;-)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-81520050215154565402011-12-17T17:30:32.614-05:002011-12-17T17:30:32.614-05:00Yeah her name IS curious George.

I found you through Melody's blog, Regency Delight Etc. :) <br /><br />Is it too late for me to answer these tag questions? I hope not! It would be such fun! I am a huge JA fan but I have a lot to blog about besides her... so I don't devote a whole blog to just Jane. Hmm... that is an idea if I ever want to start another future blog, though! :) <br /><br />I remain, <br />Your most gratified follower,<br />Quite glad to have discovered your blog,<br /><br />~JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266076830751102809noreply@blogger.com
