The ...I love the opening line as it speaks volumes. The first proposal is always a favorite. It is filled with so much emotion (and misunderstanding) on the part of both Darcy and Lizzy. Then comes 'the letter'! Darcy's need to justify his actions gave just the right revelation to Elizabeth. It made her stop and think, then see the real man, as he truly was! Her discovery of her own prejudices and incorrect judgment of character were quite a revelation to her. Then when Darcy takes to heart the things that she said and makes an attempt to change, thinking he will never see her again, but changing anyway, well, that is a man worthy indeed. I guess, next it would have to be his saving of Lydia and not wanting Lizzy to know about it. The man put himself in bad situations to find them and coerce Wickham to do the right thing. In the process, he got to know the Gardiners much better too! It is an awesome book and hard to pick just a few favorite parts!Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-75079886849259023832016-09-11T15:13:47.027-05:002016-09-11T15:13:47.027-05:00Glynis, yes, yes- all their interactions at Nether...Glynis, yes, yes- all their interactions at Netherfield are awesome! Then at the inn, and then the second proposal ... soo perfect! I read PnP about 50 times and I still have the feeling that each time I discover new hidden meanings in every small gesture, gaze, word. The genius of JA indeed ...

Of course, they are also great favorite of mine! I sooo agree with you about the last moment - he soooo deserves a kiss! (luckily, we see plenty of it in jaff :-) ) Good luck in the giveaway!

Maybe the reunion since I love HEA. However, that being said, what I really like is the music from the film scores for the old Greer Garson, the BBC Elizabeth Garvey and the two modern adaptations. The music, always makes the scenes come alive. Thanks for your give away and best wishes with your future tales.

I have to...I never really thought about it before. I have to say that I prefer Persuasion to P&P, and therefore Persuasion fanfiction. However, I have to agree with Anna, and say how much I always enjoyed when Mr. Bennet refuses to allow Elizabeth to marry Mr. Collins.<br />Thanks very much for the giveaway. Would it include "Then Comes Winter" as a choice?Ginnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457158144918481735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-21953187028572100862016-09-09T07:13:27.753-05:002016-09-09T07:13:27.753-05:00What a fantastic post!

I'd never thought about the specific scenes in P&P that drew me to JAFF, but I'd have to say they are 1) the scene where Elizabeth refuses Collins and her father's comment afterward; 2) the proposal at Hunsford; and 3) Darcy's letter.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-67726079084396361392016-09-09T06:50:57.156-05:002016-09-09T06:50:57.156-05:00I love the whole book but if I had to choose I wou...I love the whole book but if I had to choose I would pick Elizabeth at Netherfield with Darcy where she thinks he is finding fault????!! Plus the ball of course. Also when she told him about Lydia and thought she would never see him again while he was determined to solve the problem however he could without taking the credit all the time thinking she would blame him for the problem in the first place. Lastly his joy at her positive reply to his second proposal. Great question Lory and a great giveaway. As you know I do have all your books in paperback plus four of them as e-books so that just leaves two - how lucky is that? ��Glynisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-84693216041053138382016-09-08T17:11:07.705-05:002016-09-08T17:11:07.705-05:00Oh fun! I love your challenge, Lory. And those a...Oh fun! I love your challenge, Lory. And those are definitely fantastic moments in the story. I do share one with you when it dawns on Elizabeth that she had scuttled a relationship with a man who was her best match. <br />But here are the others:<br />1. The early scene of introduction to the Bennets when Mrs. Bennet wants Mr. Bennet to pay a call on the new residents of Netherfield.<br />2. When Darcy observes and attempts to interact with Elizabeth at the Lucases.<br />3. The Hunsford Proposal scene<br />4. Darcy and Elizabeth at the inn at Lambton when she gets Jane's letters and he begins to consider how he can help when he leaves her, but she thinks he's gone for good.Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-22387215797271290702016-09-08T16:40:36.975-05:002016-09-08T16:40:36.975-05:001.)

I am a sucker for a tough girl hopelessly doomed to love a man she thinks she can't stand.<br /><br />2.) Darcy's humble attempts to save Lydia from her own foolishness, while refusing to take the credit. I love that he did it purely for Elizabeth's good, not to redeem himself in her eyes, and to me, that is love in its finest form.<br /><br />3.) "It has taught me to hope..." *SIGH* I love that he sees her for all of her virtues and flaws, and has determined that none but THIS woman will do. In one moment of rage on his aunt's part, Darcy goes from despair that Elizabeth will never love him to panting hope that maybe she could, and by the time he utters this phrase, he is so stunned with bliss that he can barely express himself. The poor man deserves a kiss, Lizzy!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the love and your talents!
