Something has happened to the old "Gallery Upstairs" topic, which featured another of Hilary's drawings. 11 new of
~Amy #1
Here is Hil's latest, Darcy in implied buttercups.
~Amy #2
And here is the old that used to be in the thread that's missing:
~DaRcYfAn #3
Wow! What talent we have...great job Hilary!
~Ann2 #4
Oh, Hilary! Really great and so sensitive that new one 'in the buttercups'(?) Would this be before or after one of his much spoken of swims in pond? You express yourself drawing, others try writing...anything to be allowed to dwell on much beloved subject.
~Hilary #5
Thanks Ann and Linda. Swim? could be either, Ann, but I must admit to having other activities in mind.
~Ann2 #6
Maybe 'a swim in the pond' in a figurative sense might hint at 'other activities to be added to our list of addict tongue, like daggy, and spring tingle and are there more? Bye the way I have been meaning to ask Hilary and Amy if they ever found a word for that stupid manner of Mr Collins to silence himself, bringing fingers to his lips(yeek). If not, may I suggest 'the humble hush' ? (maybe humble-hush as a verb too?)
~Hilary #7
Haven't come across 'spring tingle', yet! As for Mr. Collins, we decided schnozzle-shooshing was quite promising! Though the humble-hush is good and a lot easier to spell!
~Amy #8
our list of addict tongue, like daggy, and spring tingle and are there more? __ Your own drug name, Ann, what was it?
~Ann2 #9
How could you ever forget Amy, are you not on it any more? Priprejudin is most beneficial, even in large and repeated doses. Hilary told me of that Collins schnozle - no what was it? ; sorry it was rather difficult and I had one in mind, a synonym if you like: the humblehush .
~Ann2 #10
Oh, blunder indeed. This is what happens when you visit at long intervals and only read the new responses. I come out a complete moron here. How delightful!!

Costume question: He never wore that cloak in P&P2, but is pictured in it here and in a snap in "Making of" (p. 105). In the "Making Of" picture you can see the cloak and the clasp quite clearly, and to me it looks very much like cloaks wore by the officers in the show (small picture of Wickham p. 90). Would they have put him in one of the officers cloaks for publicity stills, or would all the mens cloaks have looked similar?
