What the Bennet family is doing during quarantine...

- Mrs. Bennet would be panicking.

- Mr. Bennet will have locked himself in his library by day 2. 

- Jane is making WAY too much tea. 

- Lizzie is sneaking out every morning to get her walk in and hanging in her father’s library reading to him. 

- Mary knows everything there is to know about the virus, and won’t stop talking about it.

- Kitty is coughing which is causing Mrs. Bennet to panic even more. 

- Lydia is complaining about not being able to see the officers. 

BONUS:

 - Darcy isn’t impacted. He hasn’t left his house in mon– weeks… He hasn’t left his house in weeks.

- Bingley is speed walking laps around Netherfield because he’s worried about Jane and in desperate need of socialization and movement.

This is....... so good.

Sense and Sensibility (1995)

Mr. Darcy really had some nerve accusing Jane Bennett of not adequately expressing her love for Bingley like he didn’t spend half the novel talking shit about Elizabeth to her damn face

liking pride & prejudice IS a personality trait, ladies & it’s a good one

❄ Holiday gift giveaway | Pride and Prejudice | for Fran // @fitzwilliamsdarcy from Mila // @stark “How despicably I have acted!” she cried; “I, who have prided myself on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! How humiliating is this discovery! Yet, how just a humiliation! Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself.”

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”

Happy birthday, Jane Austen, born on this day in 1775.
