Blog in the morning

Because I have to do two chapters a day now  :(  Let the record show that I am, against my will, blogging before Calculus.

Be that as it may, here is chapter III:
_____________________________________
10:06 a.m.  Oh.  This, too, is just three pages  :)

10:07 a.m.  "To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love ..."  I had no idea!

10:09 a.m.  Actually, this is five pages  :(  but I'll live ...

10:11 a.m.  Different from Gatsby, in that this book actually skips a dinner (and the accompanying description of food) after an invitation to dinner.

10:14 a.m.  The infamous Darcy  :)  Compare:  We didn't actually see Gatsby before the anticipation was allowed to build for about 20 percent of his book.

10:17 a.m.  Varies from the playlike structure of the first two chapters, in that it alternates exposition and dialog.

10:21 a.m.  Done.  Austen makes a character say the sour grapes line, and it doesn't even sound like a cliche!
