To Cassandra, from Rowling, "Pray remember me to Everybody who does not enquire after me. Those who do, remember me without bidding." - Jane Austen, Monday 5 September 1796
Do you think Jane Austen would be surprised by how many people over the the past two hundred years have remembered her, have been enchanted by her, have been romanced by her? Do you think she would approve of all the movies, the sequels... the blogs? How about the fact that almost every romance has the same premise as Pride and Prejudice? She and her children have done very well.
We do remember her without bidding!
Thank you Jane,
Terrie
"Life is Short... Break the Rules, Forgive Quickly, Kiss Slowly, Love Truly, Laugh Uncontrollably, And Never Regret Anything that Made You Smile! Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
