Quick read before teaching

8:48 a.m.  I teach at 9:25 a.m.---this chapter better be short!

8:49 a.m.  Okay, five pages.

8:50 a.m.  Ah, yes, Miss Bingley will also be there at Pemberley.  Let's see how this goes---

8:51 a.m.  The seasons continue to perform their function as symbols, but now it's summer  :)

8:53 a.m.  I'm wondering whether Mrs. Annesley will have a significant function?

8:54 a.m.  Oh, Elizabeth---like me---is expecting Darcy to walk in  :)

8:54 a.m.  Which probably means he won't?

8:56 a.m.  Okay, Darcy does walk in  :)

8:58 a.m.  One of the relatively few things we learn directly from the narrator:  Miss Bingley doesn't know what happened between Miss Darcy and Wickham.

9:04 a.m.  Done.  Come to think of it, there isn't a good alternative method of narrating that something has *not* happened (other than the narrator telling it), is there?  More in the afternoon  :)
