Okay. That’s good to know. I’ve read the book several times, but it has been a while. That sounds familiar, though, now that you’ve said it.

You’re mixing with the movie… or at least, as much as I searched through the text, I never once found her saying it even though I *know* she does in the movie.

Miss Bingley actually says it in the book, in a conversation while Jane and Elizabeth are staying at Netherfield while Jane is sick.

Your bonus quote sounds a lot like something said by Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s Aunt Gardiner.

Or am I mixing up the book with the movie?

You most certainly can! I have to admit, on sober reflection (hehe) I like the smaller one as well.

Of course, it’s unlikely that I’ll make anywhere near that much money anytime soon, so it’s sort of a moot point.

But you have a point – and if I have enough money to just buy either one without worrying, why not have both?

when you get that second house… may I come visit? for say… a long time?

if you cannot tell… the second appeals to me more. you can always build your father a nice “in-law” cottage and still have spare money that would have otherwise been spent on the other property.

of course, if you’ve the money to purchase either, then who cares about saving money?!?
