10:32 a.m. I have to be at a meeting in 28 minutes, but this next chapter's just 4 pages, so here goes:
10:33 a.m. Okay, January and February got fast-forwarded in the first sentence :)
10: 35 a.m. Absence increases desire and weakens disgust?! Oh well, this is fiction---
10:37 a.m. Wickham :( but at least he will be away from her when she's at Hunsford.
10:39 a.m. "... the evening at one of the theatres!" I still think Austen's making up this stuff on purpose---it's all designed to tell the reader who to like, etc.
10: 43 a.m. Arguing in the theatre---Does that count as a play-within-a-play? :)
10:45 a.m. Done. This morning I'm amazed how much Austen can get done within four pages. After writing this chapter, she should have written short stories, and then short-shorts, and then poetry :)
