Reading in the rain

Penultimate chapter of the volume.  Hard to believe how much I've read, I usually avoid large books
____________________
11:47 a.m.  It's depressing to be already up when the clock says "a.m."  :(

11:48 a.m.  The chapter is seven pages long.

11:49 a.m.  Lydia's going to Brighton  :(

11:53 a.m.  Mr. Bennet feels safe because Lydia's poor.  Let's just hope Wickham remembers that Lydia's poor  :)

11:58 a.m.  Elizabeth tells Wickham that she knows  :)

11:59 a.m.  And Wickham may or may not have understood.

12:01 p.m.  At least the clock says "p.m." now  :)  Done.  More in the afternoon---
