Ok, let's discuss the good Colonel. I think we are all agreed that we like him, we find him charming, we feel a real concern for his welfare, but let's be honest, his sole purpose for being, in JA's scheme of things, is to spill the beans about Darcy saving a friend from a most imprudent marriage. A possible secondary purpose is to provide Darcy with some pangs of jaelousy, but that's about it. What do you think? Agree, disagree, argue? (Perhaps we can start some new threads discussing the purpose or roles played by some of the other minor characters, Maria or Denny for instance?)
