Okay, I still don't feel entirely awake, but I'm reading again. Like a soldier:
_________________________
4:34 p.m. Chapter XXII is five pages long. This, too, should be quick, then :)
4:36 p.m. Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins in this chapter? I'll look at my daughter's Math homework and then read again---
4:41 p.m. Okay, done with her homework. I'll start reading again---
4:42 p.m. Yes, this is that chapter :)
4:46 p.m. It's the penultimate chapter of the first volume, Austen intends to end the volume on a light note :)
4:50 p.m. Done. Austen handles comedy, too, with a light touch---by the end of the chapter, even the match of Miss Lucas and Mr. Collins has more levels to it than a mere joke!
