P&P lines for everything

Perfect P&P line for a sysop: Even if I wished to I could not. Amy

"unknown error code #00???" = "I leave that for yourself to determine" P&P, Mr. Bennett, chapter 23.

Suitable for any social gathering where your (spouse or teenager) is sullenly refusing to mingle with your (P&P2 friends or business associates or relatives from out of state): "I hate to see you standing about in this stupid manner." (To be accompanied by the amiable-but-concerned Bingley smile)

Good one, Cecily. ] "I hate to see you standing about in this stupid manner." (To be accompanied by the amiable-but-concerned Bingley smile) You know what I like too? Lizzy's smile when she hears it.

Well, I most vexed at the print-out of my above entry; it was truly not meant to resemble some sort of neo-poetic stanza (away from me, you extra Enter key hits!). So let's have another go at a P&P line; I hesitate due to its being better placed in the amy/hchurch crypto-thread, due to its daggier nuance. Consider the source: the grampus-wallowing Mr. Collins made frequent references to the [Rosings fireplace] "of prodigious proportions" to the point of utter inanity. I submit that the phrase could be used under many other circumstances-- say, for instance, when boasting of one's new car engine, new Wal-Mart store, or even new Darcy pinup photo. %-}

Hulloo, Amy! If I may be so bold, I perceive everyone who joins in here at the 3 P&P2 sites (yours, Alicia's, and Kathleen's) as... "with great spirit among her [his] friends; for she [he] had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous."

] "with great spirit among her [his] friends; for she [he] had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous." ___________ Not bold, C. I am honored to have gathered these types around me. Looks like we are on at the same time. Meet you in chat in a few? Amy

The next time you are in a meeting, or a club, etc., and someone is annoying you, say to them, I never have desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly. Hopefully, this will get rid of them. P&P Chapter 34.

"Had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner" works in almost any m/f situation where conflict occurs through the man's fault, and several lines from Lady Catherine to Lizzie might work if conflict is the woman's fault ("selfish girl" etc.) I am not speaking of present company, but persons in general.

I frequently find those lines useful: Is this to be endured? (e.g. When library visitor's are especially tiresome & demanding) I'm all astonishment! (When some one tells a daggy joke for example) Be not alarmed, Madam... (trying to comfort fellow worker when work piles up) What is to become of us? (heavy cutting down on library budget)

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do." (Trying to piece together Barbie's camper at 1:00 am Christmas morning.)

Is Barbie's camper more difficult than adding up the Girl Scout cookie matrix?

I was at a business meeting recently with too many bigshots, and I kept trying to say something, but got cut off. I felt just like Mr. Bingley after the Pemberley piano party, when his sister is criticizing Elizabeth, and he says: "I think.." but gets cut off. I need a bit more of Darcy's presence, I fear.

Ah, but Jane -- if Darcy were present, how would you be able to concentrate on what was being discussed at the meeting? ;-)

Kathleen, very true! And I fear I would be just like Miss Bingley, trying to impress him and saying all the wrong things.

I fear I'm maybe the weirdest person amongst us. More than once have I actually felt my head moving or my lips being pressed together exactly the way Darcy does it!!! Or mine eyes wandering off afar... And Jane's mouth too, in the assembly scene when Lizzy says after first Darcy rudeness that maybe D is not so handsome after all certainly nothing to Mr Bingley!

How about: Oh, you take delight in vexing me! I am going to make it up as sign and hang it above my computer ;-)

Ann and I thought up a good P&P2 drinking game...you glug every time someone says indeed. Two, three, four, five, and whole-glass glugs can be assigned to other words/phrases of the party's choosing. Each player can select a particular character, for example, and rate certain characteristic phrases/actions/habits of that character by glugs. There are so many possiblities...;)

The P&P2 drinking game...

Under the table ........... asleep ....... zzzzzz ........

The "loaded" face looks quite like Mr. Hurst's...

"Happy thought indeed!" can be applied to any situation where someone obviously wants you to agree with them, and for fear of hurting their feelings, you hide your true feelings of disagreement. I must add that I love it at the assembly ball when Mr. Hurst pounds on the table for another pint!!!
