Becoming Jane

Having the luxury of time in my hands these past few days, I managed to finally watch this movie that's been tucked away in our bookshelf for many months.  Much to my surprise it turned out to be a beautiful story.

Jane Austen [reading Pride and Prejudice] "She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was a union that must have been to the advantage of both. By her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved, and from his judgment, information and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance. But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what connubial felicity really was."

Indeed, one of my favorite movies along with Miss Potter. I especially love this line..." How will you live?...I will live by my writing"...Which made me realize...yes, I will live by my decorating..

I, too, LOVE this movie!!! It's been awhile since I've seen it..... I might need to go get it from the library and re-ignite my love for all things Jane Austin!
