True Love

This evening I continued my Sunday-night lovefest with Jane Austen, hunkering down for another installment of PBS's complete Austen series. I must admit that last week while watching the first part of Pride and Prejudice, I was tired after a particularly long day and I nodded off while settled in front of the fire, missing a good hour or so.

During tonight's opening montage of scenes preparing the audience for the continuance of Pride and Prejudice, I gasped. Seeing the untucked Mr. Darcy in his wet, flowing white shirt just coming out of his pond, I turned in alarm to my hubby, asking, "Did I miss Elizabeth running into Darcy unexpectedly at Pemberley?"

"Oh no. Not to worry. You didn't miss that scene and you know, I would have woken you up for it," P replied.

And so I ask--Do you think Colin Firth would do the same for his wife?

Who needs Mr. Darcy when you have a husband who can appreciate Mr. Darcy in wet muslin (or can at least appreciate your interest). And I'm dying for part three!!
