Reading log before classes

Here's this morning's chapter:
_______________________________
8 a.m.  Chapter 25 (chapter II of the second volume) is five pages long.

8:02 a.m.  Another recap, this time related by Mrs. Bennet to Mrs. Gardiner, who is visiting for Christmas  :)  A large format, such as a novel, has enough room for narrating the same event from different points of view, which has two effects:  first, that it serves to develop the different narrators' characters; second, that it offers the reader different readings of the multiply narrated event, like an object in cubist art.

8:07 a.m.  Finally!  Someone who would "speak to Elizabeth on the subject (of Wickham)."

8:09 a.m.  Done.  So Jane is going to town  :)  More in the afternoon---
