“I would say that you have all your life to become acquainted after you marry, but…” he paused and looked toward the far corner of the room where a dressing table stood next to a large wardrobe, “sometimes even twenty-three years is not enough for some to learn what they should know about their mate.”

Wordless Wednesday: Le Rouët à Filer

Posted on YouTube by RegencyDancesOrg with this note:
The Duke of Wellington's Dancers dancing the cotillion 'Le Rouët à filer' (the Spinning Wheel) at Townhill Park House on 28th June 2016 during a dress rehearsal. From XXIV New Cotillons, 1768, by James Longman. Music performed by The Birmingham Baroque Collective. Note the feeling of controlled perpetual motion.

“Miss Elizabeth, this is Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes, Miss Elizabeth Bennet.”

She is a very determined young lady and has been so since before she was in leading strings.”

To Darcy’s surprise, there was a look of pride on the woman’s face that seemed to run contrary to her disparaging words.
