Agree that Darcy’s pride comes from a whole collection of things, not specifically the Fitzwilliams or Pemberley. But Darcy himself attributes it to his parents: “I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves…allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing…”

I don’t quite follow. Darcy isn’t proud of being an only son; that’s just the circumstance that his pride developed in. I was talking about what he’s proud of, not how he picked it up.

somenewgrace: I've been reading and re-reading P&P for 20+ years now and I'm still not sick of it! (Yes, I am an old.) It never stops being great.

20+ years! that's amazing! 

myladylace: Aww, congrats! <3

thank you!

broken-academia: I watched this a while ago! The drama with William the conquerer was unexpected but so interesting!

yeah it was really interesting. i liked how they focused on the women (georgiana, the double duchess, adele astaire, kick kennedy...) it made me want to learn more about all of them.

somenewgrace: I went to Chatsworth last year, and honestly, no one should be that rich. It was overwhelming.

we get that vibe of opulence and excess from the pics and videos i can only imagine how everything looks up close.

She didn’t get very far - about 4 chapters in, maybe? I still live in hope that she might finish it one day (Forces is my all-time fave P&P fic). It’s not substantially different in terms of plot, but in style, it’s a bit cleaner and more polished. And the footnotes are gone :(

Aww, her footnotes were half the fun! But thanks for the heads-up. After all these years, I suppose we’re lucky to get anything, but ... /sigh

somenewgrace: And it's so important! It's where she starts to understand him and fall for him, and where he starts to get a glimmer of hope again. Pemberley is everything.

oh, yes. that too. <3

somenewgrace: NO PEMBERLEY. How can you have a P&P adaptation without Pemberley, I ask you? (Looking at you, 1940 and P&P&Z.)

why do they keep leaving pemberley out? it's like the best part. it's when darcy and lizzy get all cute and flustered around each other. :’)
