pride and prejudice … sentence starters
“May I have the next dance?”
“But will that make you happy?“
“He looks miserable, poor soul.“
“No, they are far too easy to judge.“
“You really do love him, don’t you?”
“What endearments am I allowed?”
“Why do you ask such a question?“
“Angry people are not always wise.“
“Are you… are you laughing at me?”
“How are you this evening, my dear?“
“You are too generous to trifle with me.“
“Not all of us can afford to be romantic.”
“I thought that poetry was the food of love.“
“And… what should I call you when I am cross?“
“I have never been thus treated in my entire life!”
“So don’t you judge me… Don’t you dare judge me!”
“Because we’re doing our best to find a fault in you.“
“I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.“
“So what do you recommend to encourage affection?“
“She is the most beautiful creature I have ever beheld.“
“Miserable he may be, but poor he most certainly is not.“
“Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.“
“You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you.“
“Are you out of your senses? I thought you hated the man.”
“I didn’t know you were coming to see me! What’s the matter?”
“You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love you.”
“It has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before.”
“So this is your opinion of me? Thank you for explaining so fully.“
“I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.”
“Have you no objection other than your belief in my indifference?“
“You can only have two motives, and I would interfere with either.”
“Might I ask why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus repulsed?“
“Perfectly tolerable, I daresay, but not handsome enough to tempt me.“
“Oh, believe me, no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed.“
“Our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask him nothing about it.“
“I love you. Most ardently. Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.“
“How can you tease me so? Have you no compassion for my poor nerves?”
“First, I must tell you I’ve been the most unmitigated and comprehensive ass.“
“It would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.“
“Oh, dear, I cannot tease you about that. What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.“
“I… do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.“
“You have insulted me in every possible way, and can now have nothing further to say.“
“Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I will end up an old maid.“
“I am well enough acquainted with you to know that I can not alarm you, even should I wish it.”
“My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever.“
“I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment.“
“Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honesty.“
“I’m sure that the feelings which, as you’ve told me have hindered your regard, will help you in overcoming it.“
“I cannot believe that anyone can deserve you… but it appears I am overruled. So, I heartily give my consent.”
“I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me, it was unconsciously done.“
“I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.“
“If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love…I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
“I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family’s expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.”
Watching part 2 this weekend then will be here!
#This is your daily reminder that Miss Daphne Bridgerton can and [WILL] play. #She knows. #She knows she has this entire city wrapped around her finger. #She is a performer and she has perfected her craft. #I’m telling you she falls under the Obsessed Artist Trope in this essay I will- #She has spent her entire life curating her image and when it was finally her time to shine she DAZZLED #Look even the Queen is amused #Daphne dropping the fan so the Prince’s gaze falls with the fan [I.E. He sees her figure from her bosom to her feet WHILE #she is fully dressed and dignified] #Her eyes immediately looking back up from the fallen fan back to the Prince’s to evoke devotion and submission? A FEIGNED INNOCENCE? #Her small albeit noticeable opening of her mouth to evoke a sense of surprise urgency BUT ALSO seduction from her lips and EXPRESSION? #It takes a certain kind of talent to be Always sparkling and dazzling BUT #To bring a man [a Prince] to his knees all the while feigning doe dyes ingenuity and KINDNESS BEYOND COMPARE? #Oh she is THE femme fatale. #Daphne did all this in a white dress FULLY CLOTHED AND UNCOMPROMISED she is a MASTERMIND. #She said /I laid the groundwork - And then just like clockwork - The dominos cascaded in a line - #What if I told you I’m a Mastermind? - AND NOW YOU’RE MINE - It was all my design. #Me to Miss Daphne Bridgerton: 🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️
Taylor Alison Swift wrote this for [one] Miss Daphne Bridgerton. You know what's surreal to me that I figured out from this? Daphne has curated perfection for herself ever since she was a child. She demanded it for herself, crafted and molded herself into the idealized version of what a Lady should be. And she has been this way since she was a child. Do you understand how much pressure that is? To strive for something [unattainable]? That's fucking insane. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? This is partly why Simon expressed hesitation in having children with Daphne [Of course he has his own trauma and that's an entirely separate post], but subjective to Daphne [from Simon's point of view], her self-induced perfection is obvious, and for someone who has been labeled imperfect as a child, to try to even be a part of that must've brought up so much trauma. Simon felt like he could not live up to Daphne's curated perfection, and what if their child couldn't as well? This is pivotal for Daphne's character because through learning of Simon's story, hearing his side of it, and finally understanding him, she comes to the realization that perfection is unattainable. It's not real. The impossible burden she has placed on herself is not a burden anyone else can [or should] carry. "Just because something is not perfect, does not make it any less worthy of love." Daphne herself realizes that she does not need to be perfect in order to be loved or respected or cherished. It is precisely her loud snorty laugh, her cheeky opinions, her teasing nature, her competitive streak, her puns and love of love that makes her enough. She, her true self, is enough.
I DIED BUT IM BACK AND I'M WRITING
today i am thinking about daphne and hyacinth...
MY BABY,... MY SHAYLA!
PHOEBE DYNEVOR as DAPHNE BRIDGERTON BRIDGERTON — 1x06: “Swish” (2020)
THE RETURN OF A HASTINGS TO MAYFAIR WAS NEVER A QUIET THING. It arrived with the metronome of carriage wheels upon cobblestone, with trunks and nursery things and the soft astonishment of children seeing London anew. And with the Duchess of Hastings, Daphne Bridgerton, stepping once more into the long-breathed halls of her girlhood. The wisterias themselves seemed to exhale. Bridgerton House had not changed. She had.
August’s laughter echoed somewhere down the corridor, Belinda’s smaller footsteps quick in pursuit. Simon’s voice low and fond behind them. Anchors, all of them. The family she has always wanted; The home she has always so desired to build. And yet, beneath the familiar cadence of her childhood, there stirred another curiosity. One that had followed Daphne from Clyvedon to Hastings House and now, inexorably, across the threshold of her mother’s drawing room.
SOPHIE BAEK: @ladiesilver.
The name had appeared first in Violet’s letters. Warm, carefully worded, telling in what was not said. Then in Eloise’s sprawling, fervent script, riddled with admiration she scarcely attempted to conceal. Hyacinth’s notes had been the most revealing, brimming with affection and awe, painting Sophie as if she were some rare constellation that had wandered indoors and decided to stay.
A governess. A maid. And yet.. So much more.
Daphne had learned, through marriage and motherhood, and the quiet intimacy of power, to recognize the gravity of women who endured. Who laboured unseen. Who held households together without ever being named for it. Rose Nolan’s hands came to mind instinctively. Steadfast, endlessly patient. It was not difficult to read between the lines of what Violet did not say. Nor to understand how someone like Sophie might gather devotion without ever asking for it.
It was in the late afternoon, when the vibrant blues of Bridgerton House softened into gold and shadow, that the Duchess sought her out. She moved through the familiar corridors with unhurried grace, until she found her: Positioned near the schoolroom doors, papers gathered neatly in hand, posture composed in that particular way of those accustomed to being overlooked while carrying great responsibility. Daphne stopped a short distance away, observing first; Always. Blush pink lips curl upward. Not the one she has curated for the ton, but something softer. Something true. Heels move forward, presence unmistakable yet deliberately unthreatening, EVERY INCH THE DUCHESS AND EVERY INCH STILL A BRIDGERTON. “Miss Baek,” The lilt of her voice wrapped in warmth; Of recognition rather than authority. “I hope I am not interrupting. I am Daphne, though I suspect my name has preceded me rather unfairly.”
“I have heard… Quite a great deal about you.”
