So there is one good pastor that doesn't seem to be quite the arrogant, cringe-worthy, ick-inducing pastor that Austen portrays in other books. ha! Thanks for the reminder! Since she was a pastor's daughter I wonder if she encountered her share of those types?

And no great harm if it does, said Mr. Woodhouse. The sooner every party breaks up, the better." Oh, Mr. Woodhouse... ;)<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! And I love that you look up interesting words and share their definitions with us. :) There really are some great ones in this book!<br /><br />Yes to Frank Churchill acting childish! And yes to Mr. Knightley being admirable in his combination of kindness and honesty. :) I do like him a lot for that! He did quite win me over in adaptations, as well. *swoon*<br /><br />Regarding the pastors comment...that's a good point! Although at least Henry Tilney from Northanger Abbey was a funny, sweet, good-natured clergyman. :) <br /><br />And as you know from how far behind I fell in this read-along...these long chapters killed me too!!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-47756905035546864292016-10-28T09:27:08.880-05:002016-10-28T09:27:08.880-05:00Love your comment about Mr. Elton.

It was like every young guy was a pastor! lolMiranda Atchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923278667073357060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-85746284893515386692016-10-20T20:42:54.766-05:002016-10-20T20:42:54.766-05:00Oh I let Amber come up with the questions :) I am ...Oh I let Amber come up with the questions :) I am not very creative in the question department.
