WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? Well...take a baahth ofcourse!

I can't believe how much I missed out on in one day! The pictures, comments, and all of you are the greatest! Laura, my heart goes out to you and your family -- it's the hardest thing on earth to watch someone you love be in pain. Hang in...

A friend just gave me a copy of the December issue of A&E Monthly, which has a CF interview (by the way, the picture on the cover is to die for, but I don't have a scanner -- can anyone oblige?) Anyway, I love the following quote: "In my teens I resented being forced to be interested in things I didn't like naturally. My math teacher was always accusing me of not being interested in math as if it were something terrible. And I thought, 'I plead guilty. I'm not interested.' Acting, on the other hand, did excite me. It occurred to me one day, why don't I pursue that? It liberated me from the expectation to be interested in other things, and it was a perfect excuse to be bad at math." Let's find that math teacher and give him or her a big kiss. I can really relate to this because I've always considered myself a kindred soul of Peggy Sue. In Peggy Sue Got Married, she regresses from her 30's to her high-school years and tells her math teacher something like, "I know for a fact that I will not need this in later life!" Anyway, what are your favorite CF quotes and why? (Cautionary note: this is, by no means, meant to interrupt the flow of pictures!

Susan, I love Peggy Sue Got Married too. What a gift that would be. I'd have gone off with the beatnik, though.

Well guys, I love you so much that I have come on line to give you my autograph use it wisely Oh and here is my baby brother for you to drool after also GO TO IT LADIES:)

Ann, re the Colin pic? It was posted here maybe early this week? I don't remember by whom.

Amy is this for real, could this be traced for confirmation?

Never mind, LauraMM is a clue by itself, unless Laura personnaly knows a certain gentleman we adore

] Amy is this for real, could this be traced for confirmation? ___ I am sorry, Johanne. That is the trouble with this bleeping linear format. Were you responding to the Colin pic or the Peggy Sue conversation?

She really wanted to tell you guys on Sunday that we personally knew each other, I was there hiding. I had on the big hat and the lavender dress. New role you see. Its Tootsie with a twist. I am a man who dresses up as a woman who also dresses as man. Cute huh? I think this has never been done. Laura's yelling at me telling me that Julie Andrews played the same role Victor/Victoria and she is now doing it on Broadway. Oops, sorry no wonder they were only paying me scale. Well do you guys have any roles I can play. And I really prefer to move it up to the

Sorry not use to this damn computer. Not only do I have Laura down my neck (literally) I saw the picture of me she wants to eat my neck but Livia is sitting on my lap. What's a man to do with TWO beautiful, gorgeous women. Any way to get back to roles I refuse to do anymore period pieces, I want to play a kick-ass, woman-using, tough guy. What Laura? Oh Van Damme and Seagal already own that. Is there any bloody role I can call my own. Livia you really must get off my lap now (please lay off the garli ) well all I'm doing is getting my self into trouble here so I'll sign off. Willie Tilly is waiting for me to take him out golfing?!?!

ROTFLOL!!!! Too much!

Roar baby, you've finally lost it.

Laura - my admiration!! Being able to juggle Colin Firth, Livia, Willie Tilly, neck nuzzling, and a reek of garlic all at once takes TALENT!!;-) BTW, I think Jonathan looks rather like a young Colin in that photo above.

Now, I have known Laura for little over a year now and her obsession with me is natural. I have that talent, because I took the time to practise. Her wit, vivacity and love of life is extremely refreshing. She looks at me dead on with those gorgeous blue eyes and she tells me her most inner dark secrets. And her daughter is the same age as my son, so we commiserate with each other. Laura is a born natural, blonde that is. She did not color her hair or eyebrows or lashes for that. Laura is so virgin l because she has yet to see PLAYMAKER, Laura you mean you did see it. Dammit, I thought the one movie I never wanted you to see. Stupid HBO, first the young lass who played Annie gets fired and now HBO keeps showing that godawful movie. HMM, the young lass is suing for 10-50 Million dollars how much would that be in pounds, lets see if I multiply 10 million times the exchange rate of 1.6355 taken from the WSJ that would give me L8.1 -L81 million quid. That's it this is America the Beautiful, I m suing. What do you mean I have to be a citizen of the good ole USA, no I don't, Liz Taylor sued how do you think she made all her money. Well Livia is now eating calimari, along with the garlic she's going to need about 5 packs of certs. Well must go golfing for the weekend. Laura will be keeping me very, very busy this weekend so have a good one and I try to sneak on when she's not looking. Well girls did you like my baby bro or what?

From the program for "The Caretaker", 1991

One more try:

Hello everybody, I'm new to the scene. I can see I have alot of catching up to do.I love all the info and the pictures. Colin's eyes are what make him so sexy. They hold such expression. I would like to know how old JE is if anyone knows. o w

SYLVIA -- I believe that Jennifer Ehle was about 26 at the time of filming P&P2 (1994), so she must be going on 29 now.

One more try at the picture I tried before--from "The Caretaker", 1991

And this one:

Welcome Sylvia. How did you happen to find us?

Inko -- I for one am most happy that you succeeded with these pics. They are quite yummy! Definitely hair to run one's fingers through. Ahhh.

I don't know that I've seen this one around

Inko, #421 is superb!! I don't usually save them, but I'm making an exception for this baby.

#425 looks like a picture from Master of the Moor. It was on PBS last year. Can anyone guess what this picture is from?

your own personal photo album?

Re: #427 -- is that pic from A Month in the Country?

Is that a mustache or a shadow? I've decided that I don't like him at all with a mustache, although he does look very nice with some facial hair...sideburns, 5 o'clock shadow...I do like the entire beard look though, as in Nostromo...

Isn't the pic from Circle of Friends? OH SIMON!

Hello everyone. I am pretty new here, I know some of you from the Pemberley(sp?)Drawing Room. This is the first time I have read all the drool messages. Great pics and comments. I look forward to seeing some new pics and comments. This is a great place.:)

Hi Suzanne. Nice to see you made it over here. Are you the one who was going to send the dress and bucket?

Cindy, I wish it were, but it's from A Month in the Country.

Cheryl, I agree I don't like the moustache look very much either, but I do like the full beard look of Nostromo. In AMITC his hair was too short, also - I prefer it a bit longer. But the movie was terrific all the same, and his part in it perfect!!;-)

#430 Cheryl Is that a mustache or a shadow? I've decided that I don't like him at all with a mustache,I do like the entire beard look though as in Nostromo #431 Cassandra Isn't the pic from Circle of Friends? OH SIMON! #435 Inko In AMITC his hair was too short, also - I prefer it a bit longer. Love the beard; hate the mustache; definitely prefer longer hair. Simon was too much of a dandy for me, but I got a great kick out of "Nan, Oh Nan, OHHH NAN!!!!"

Colino bambino:

Anne3, thanks for posting above photo. I was thinking of posting it - you saved me the trouble. I think it was taken at the same time as the one in the A&E magazine - sitting in a cane chair on the beach. He seems to be wearing the same clothes and haircut. What think you?

I'll vote with the no moustache, (but some other facial okay) longer hair contingent. The toothy smile is particularly nice, too - shows the dimples

Hi all, I love that pic of him against the wall with his coat. Hey #378 how is Charlotte doing any how. Well I love all the new pics.

Hello Everyone. Posted an intro earlier in Cat 175. Thanks for the warm welcome! Will you do me the honour of reading this letter--despite it's terrible length? Here's my story. I confess, I've been lurking. I have no wish to deny this, nor can I blame myself for any of my actions in this matter. I was drawn in, helplessly so, by all of you with your arts and allurements making me forget what I owe to myself and to my family. My obsession w/ P&P2 and Mr. Darcy are afflictions of a most serious nature. I watched and taped the recent US re-broadcast, and found thereafter that I possessed an inexplicable urge to view "something" of P&P2 (A hit, acknowledged!) every single day! And so I did. The guilt is all mine. But, it was not until my 20th viewing of the dance at Netherfield did I suspect it a serious attachment! You may have imagined how I felt and how I acted! I thought this is highly improper and grew so out of spirits I didn't know what to do. Then...I found your Austen and Drool Conferences. I began to lurk. I found that the whole town is talking of it! Oh, you sirs and madams! You are very good! Day after day, I could be found at your website despite promises to myself to come back tomorrow week. I tried to stay away, but in anguish cried aloud "Insufferable! This is not to be born, I insist on being being satisfied!" and "Is this to be endured? It shall not be! It's most unfair for it's not as if I have done anything naughty!" I must tell you what a dreadful state I was in, how I had such tremblings and fluttering all over me, such spasms in my side and pains in my head, and beatings of my heart that I could get no rest either night or day! All your tantalizing topics, wry humour, candid commentaries, in-depth dissections, and ready wit (I am excessively attentive to all those things) beckoned in a single devastingly resonant tone: COME. And thither also I did come... Every day thereafter while in the Austen Conference, I could be heard to exclaim with utter and complete delight: I am exceedingly diverted! I I think it the dearest place in the whole world, containing others as afflicted as I. And so, you must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and like you! You are all ease and friendliness, bearing no false dignity at all! And though I have not been accustomed to such language as this (in Drool), I like the total want of propriety so frequently betrayed. In fact, I like it very well indeed!!! I hope that you all will become my particular friends. You are all goodness and kindness, as always. I dare say we shall find ample sources of consolation and delight together for I most decidedly wish to be tainted by association. And if I am called an obstinate, headstrong girl or an unfeeling, selfish girl in my obsession? Let me be rightly understood. I CARE not!!! For I'm only resolved to act in a manner which will constitute my own happiness! And as for that tall, proud one? Oh, he simpers and smirks and makes love to us all. I'm prodigiously proud of him! Now. I must beg to return to the house... (Is that smoke coming from MY kitchen? Eeek!!!) Adieu!

Valen, I do believe you're as sick as the rest of us. You won't find a cure here, but who wants to?

Ah, Valen, a truly LOL&LOL moment. If your kitchen fire had not stopped you from typing more, I should have alarmed my neighbors by shrieking with delight!

Wonderful, Valen. You are very welcome here. Come to chat sometime. You sound like a riot.

Valen, I am most excessively amused. If this first missive is ample evidence of your talent, I definitely look forward to more of it. Any ideas for FanFic?

Oh yeah... P.S. to #141: And for its truth (of my letter) I can appeal to the testimony of Lt. COLONEL Terry Cox (my dearest, most understanding husband) who knows every particular of these transactions. And in fact, he most supportively urges me to take every opportunity of enjoying myself! Ah! To be married to such a man! Oh, I do, I do like him. In fact, I love him! (sappy sigh) ***** Thanks all for your kind words on my first foray into Drool. I am afeared that I am, indeed, most grievously sick, Cindy/bernhard. Does it ever stop? Presently I do NOT see a cure, nor am I like to. (wicked grin) Kathleen/elder glad you LOLd! Geez, but I've LOLd all over this conference and its topics these last weeks, it's time to give some back. I have, in fact, frightened the children badly a time or two with my uncontrollable whoops of laughter which brought on tears and spasms in my side! Amy, thank you for the email, and would love to come to chat, just gotta figure out how to get there and when's the best time. (Is my INet illiteracy showing?) Oh, and how do I properly address responses to individuals? By the names in or out of the parenthesis? Susan, verra glad you were excessively amused, and yes, I do have ideas for FanFic, but alas, I think I will have to build up my courage there ere I venture into those realms! So much talent! PPS Uh, I really do know how to spell "devastatingly!" (sheepish grin) Tootles!

Yes I am the bucket and dress Suzanne, that was intended for HC he felt left out when we were talking about wet Darcy and so I promised I would send a Regency Dress and a Bucket to fill with water to splash on the light and pleasing figure he was going to find to fill the dress ( I think he wanted Lizzy Bennet)

Come now, Valen, and Suzanne. Just choose the Pemberley Drawing room, Valen (Suzanne been there) Don't have to put anything in for email or homepage. http://www.worldrch.com/cgibin/Chat/nph-chat.cgi

You are most welcome Valen! So glad you decided to come out of the closet! Do come to Pemberley, I would love to meet you!

Enjoyed the story of your sufferings, Valen . Seems to me that your mind is likely to catch fire just as easily as your kitchen...And we are fond of a good blaze ...And Suzanne ,your concern for Mr HC is truly angelic, some like it hot and some like it wet and we like it all...Welcome to both of you.

Ann2, I don't seem to have your email address anymore.

Welcome Valen - I, too, ROTFLOL at your letter - describes my symptons so exactly, and mine have lasted for over a year now! And Suzanne, you are all kindness at your concern for HC - such generosity of spirit! One of these days I promise myself I'll head back to Pemberley - but time is limited and I have to get taxes done (oh to live in Regency days when they didn't have to bother about such things!);-)

Re #421 -- Inko, I believe that is my most favorite picture ever of CF. I have saved it as wallpaper and now my computer and I both get turned on at the same time!!

This is my first drool letter, HI EVERYONE!!! Most embarrassing thing I've done so far-- I was waiting in a Dr.s office last week when I stumbled upon an old issue of Harper's Bazar, last spring I think. Anyway, I was so into reading the CF interview and Drooling over the pictures, that when they called my name I seriously wanted to either rip out the pics. or stuff the magazine under my coat. I can't believe I've become this crazy over this man. Do you think we all need therapy?

] Do you think we all need therapy? __ This is it, TENNSEP. Welcome.

TENNSEP -- In no time at all you will be feeling much better about your addiction; in fact, you will wonder why you ever thought it was a problem! ;)

Welcome Valen & Tennsep -- I do believe that you fit in very well indeed!

TENNSEPP: True! True! (Kathleen you are so right.) I used to think I was so ill-favored. I could not imagine what had affected such a transformation. I thought, what can be done? I know nothing can be done about this obsessive need to view P&P2 (ie CF/Mr. Darcy) over and over and over again and my spontaneous spouting forth of P&P dialogue everywhere I went. I was shocked, shocked and grieved by my behavior. Then I found these good sirs and madams! I learned, in essentials, we are very much the same, and that 'twas only my incorrect perspective whic led me to believe I had a problem. Now, in fact, my feelings are very much the opposite! So, TENNSEP, you are not to blame, others are culpable. Like the producer, and the director, and the screenwriter, and even more, JA! Those foul fiends! Come be tainted by association! You will find it a most delightful diversion! Ahem. Please excuse me now. I must shake out my hanky and delicately dab the corners of my mouth. I was just again viewing CF in #355. Bless you Inko. Bless you most fervently. It is my most cherished 'smiling' pic of him, leaving me rather weak-kneed and a bit drop-jawed ergo the drool! (KerPLONK!) Oh dear! Excuse me again. My knees just gave way...and where oh where did my hanky go... (I beg you do not make yourself uneasy. I am well. I am well.) AMY: I'm going to try Pemberly now, but I'm terribly ignorant so please excuse my fumbling fledgling steps...

Re #438: Inko, it never occured to me that picture #437 might have been taken at the same time as the one in A&E Mag. You're right that he seems to be dressed the same. I'd thought that the A&E shot was taken "in character" as Jess Clark (A Thousand Acres) because he looks so much like an all-American boy! In pic #437 he looks younger to me--smooth skin, babyish features--but it's so hard to tell with him, he looks different from one photo to the next. (But delectable in all!)

I feel it is necessary to worry about HC he must feel so left out with all our CF talk, so I worry about him what can I say. Valen once again I had a great laugh and was thouroughly amused by your post. I am glad you are joining us at Pemberley.

For those of you who get the cable channel Flix - A Month In the Country will air several times in March, starting March 5. I can post dates and times if anyone needs them (didn't bring my Cable Guide to work, or I'd have done it already!) And now back to our regularly scheduled drooling, already in (splash) progress......

Well guys, here you are drooling over me again. Golfing was ho-hum, this cold Boston weather well acutally warm one day cold the next, (sniff) and I'm coming down with a bloody cold, well at least I have Livia and Laura, (the two L's one blonde one brunette, well, can't a guy dream. In Femme Fatale, I had three women and they were one in the same!!!) Anyway, I was not able to post due to some snafu, oh yeah, Laura and my neck, some fettish I think. Anyway Laura and I rented this really bizarro movie ith my nemesis, Alan Rickman, CLOSE MY EYES, well at least the hunky Clive Owen was worth watching. Sorry gals, Laura is telling me what to write. But it was totally bizarro because it dealt with a brother and sister who could not keep their hands off each other. Wow that Saskia Reeves, what a babe, Livia kinda looks like her. Needless to say, Laura went away drooling over AR demanding to know from me why listen gotta go, Willie boy here needs to check the X-files page. We'll talk soon. Any ideas o what roles I can play, please I'm desperate!!

Yea to #461 I would love to know what time they come on it would be cool to see that movie. Is it not true that they took it off of video. Well its great to see people drooling as bad as I am.

Only one response? It's a joy to find Pemberley online. I've seen P&P five times but will never get tired of it. I've also seen TEP, Circle, Nostromo, Advocate, Valmonst, Wings of Fame, Apartment Zero, and A Month in the Country. You guys are a hoot!! I have laughed, giggled, snorted, chortled, and guffawed at the hilarious postings. Thank you all for expounding on your colinific crushes. I plan to visit regularly..... What do I love most about Colin? His talent. (Take that anyway you want!) Seriously, it's a charisma that expresses impatience, frustration, boredom, irritation, through his incredibly intense, anguished eyes, and clenched jaw. In second place, his deep resonant voice, and the way it drops off suddenly into a mutter. Very sexy. Like a Marlon Brando/Olivier meld. His face and voice remind me of Orson Welles, a personal all-time favorite genius. In all, Colin is a sublime actor and I am hooked.

Just popping in for a tiny bit of drooling this AM. Flipped to my fav smiling pick of THE MAN #355 (again, a fervid thank you Inko!) and could be found to be smiling back in a most goofy way. I am mortified, but what better place to be for such fawning? I do not at all find this society confined and unvarying! Indeed, it is superior! Ciao!

Tammy - I know the first airing is tomorrrow (March 5), once at about 4 pm and then again (I think) at 1:15 am. I'll fill in the blanks for you tomorrow.

Hi guys, here is another great photo Don't they just make a great couple

She looks great.

I love the mysterioso smile in this one.

Oh, Anne, I like it very well, indeed....(sigh, melt, drool....)

Hello everyone, I'm Annie from Arkansas and I am so glad to know that I am not alone in my obsession. Until I found you kindred souls that I was destined to pine away in solitude!!!

Ooops!! I guess I'm doing that "Bingley" thing and typing so fast and furiously that I leave out words that make everything I type seem like a puzzle where you have to figure out the words I leave out. I promise to improve!!

Ooops!! I guess I'm doing that "Bingley" thing and typing so fast and furiously that I leave out words that make everything I type seem like a puzzle where you have to figure out the words I leave out. I promise to improve!!

doing that "Bingley" thing LOL that's a great way of putting it Annie, welcometo this merry gang! And thanks Anne3, for that droolable pic, it's my new wallpaper of the month for I have several. Was nice to meet in chat.

Anne3! Oh, oh, oh... Love that mysterioso smile too! Have never seen this one =anywhere!= I truly like CF when he 'dark.' I also think he looks better in his black and white photos, they really seem to play up his marvelous facial definition ie chin, jaw, dimples... Thanks for a very sweet bit of drooling... ;-)

I also think he looks better in his black and white photos, they really seem to play up his marvelous facial definition ie chin, jaw, dimples... Thanks for a very sweet bit of drooling... ;-)

Hah! That was my libido, echoing my sentiments. Wanted to be sure we were heard, thus a double submission!

And, BTB, I sort of like his softer smiles best, rather than the big ones. Anyone else have an opinion on his smiles?

I like all his smiles - soft, small, or big and bright!! *sigh*!!;-)

Inko: I like all his smiles - soft, small, or big and bright! Ditto, and I especially like those smiles which are directed at me! (From where I sit, that's what I see.) ;-}

Welcome AnnieC. I flatter myself like Bingley does, too about dashing things off.

Hi, I never heard of CF before November of last year. Now, I totally love him and have seen P&P2 A LOT, Nostromo, and TEP. He can smile at me any way he wants to {sigh, pant, drool, slobber}.

Smiles, anyway CF smiles is okay with me, he is just the dreamiest in any form. Thanks for that great picture always good to see a new one. I agree B&W truly does him justice and the soft smile is a great look for him. Ohh Colin!!!

Smiles, anyway CF smiles is okay with me, he is just the dreamiest in any form. Thanks for that great picture always good to see a new one. I agree B&W truly does him justice and the soft smile is a great look for him. Ohh Colin!!!

Ladies, I have been most lax in my duties to all of you, I humbly apologize and promise to be a more attentive drooler! As an act of good faith, I offer the following... Ooh baby, ooh baby! *sigh*

Smashing, Cheryl! I do so love your visual reminders of THE MAN! Can't place this pic tho, where is our Tall Proud One when caught in this terrific pose?

"And you take an eager interest?"

Oh Valen - this pose (#485) is our dear Mr. Darcy as he listens to Lizzie give him the rasberries after his proposal! He then says something like, "And THIS is all I'm to expect..." when she so shockingly turns him down! Mr. Darcy is SO incredibly pompus in that scene that I must say I have always cheered Lizzie on when she rejjects him. May I cast my vote on the CF smile? I prefer his slight, mysterioso smiles to the big grin. (Although I must admit to being quite fascinated at the sight of his teeth as he grinned briefly at the conclusion of P&P2 in the carriage.) I also vote for CF with darker hair.

Me too, Sweet. No teeth, dark hair. See, we like our Firth as Darcy-like as possible.

Oh Amy! I do, I do indeed! I am ALL eagerness. Hey Sweets! Is this the first time you and meet, I think it is, and I find a sister at heart, I believe. I do love his gentler smiles (NOT being critical of his 'bright' ones, mind!), just that the slight ones sort of make my bones got soft...a most delicious experience! And me too! I was also fascinated by his teeth/smile in the Marriage Carriage! Truly an enthralling moment. Yes, I do like his darker looks a bit better too. A very powerful, masterful look, I might say. Thanks for placing that pic for me! Now I know why I didn't recognize it, I DON'T HAVE THAT PORTION OF P&P2 on tape! (Yes, I am to be pitied, sniff.) Taped it off the telly, and to my utter grief and shock I found I'd not put it on the right setting, so lost that hour. I did view it twice before during the broadcasts, but not like I've since viewed the rest of P&P2. (sheepish grin) No wonder I didn't recognize it. So our Tall Proud One was being excessively so in that scene, eh? Good for Lizzy! R spberries were indeed in order! I hope to be purchasing the 6 hr version soon though and then can review the whole in all its glory! So much anticipation, can scarce contain it all!!

Ah Amy, another for the No Teeth/Dark Hair Camp! I go utterly nuts for his dark good looks, EXACTLY my vision of Mr. Darcy embodied. And Oh. What a Bod. Did anyone else notice as he strides masterfully down the hill toward the pond (and Yes! the unsuspecting Lizzy) how the sunlight pierces the fabric of his wet shirt, outlining his body within? How subtlely erotic, don't you think?

Those of you who is lucky enough to have the COMPLETE P&P2, I mean the six(?) tapes with all the left out scenes. Please tell me, your unlucky sister, what scenes that is. What are the rest of us missing?

Valens: Did anyone else notice as he strides masterfully down the hill toward the pond...how the sunlight pierces the fabric of his wet shirt, outlining his body within? How subtlely erotic, don't you think? Oh honey! There's nothing subtle about that! For which I am profoundly grateful! ;-)

Re #492: Jane, I copied this from the FAQ at the Firth site: How are the television and videotape versions of Pride and Prejudice different? The television version is approximately 4 hours/40 minutes long while the tape version is nearly 5 hours long. The video contains many short transitional scenes and a few longer sections with Mr. Darcy. 1. The first assembly sequence begins with the Bingley carriage coming down the street and contains a number of short additional shots including Mr. Darcy smiling at Bingley and Jane as they dance together. 2. Scenes after the assembly with the Bennets and Bingleys are longer. At Netherfield, Bingley's sisters disagree with Mr. Darcy's opinion of Jane. 3. The Lucas Lodge party has a longer scene of Mary being convinced to play dance music. 4. The trip to Meryton with Mr. Collins begins sooner. 5. The Philips party starts a little sooner. 6. Mr. Collins' proposal starts sooner. 7. After the first Darcy proposal, we see his angry walk back to Rosings and Elizabeth's tearful reaction at the Collins home. 8. Elizabeth climbs a rocky area in Derbyshire to admire the scenery. 9. Derbyshire scenery is shown before Elizabeth hears of Mr. Darcy's arrival in Lambton. 10. After Elizabeth tells Darcy about the elopement, there is an additional section at Pemberly. As Georgiana plays the piano, Miss. Bingley teases Darcy about pining for Elizabeth. He answers sharply and leaves the room quickly. 11. Preparations to leave Lambton are shown with an additional scene of the Gardiners and Elizabeth discussing the elopement. 12. Slight extension of Darcy on the streets of London looking for Wickham and Lydia.

outlining his body within? How subtlely erotic Cheryl: nothing subtle about that! For which I am profoundly grateful! ;-) Cheryl !!! (Same volume and tune of voice as Jane has when Mrs Bennet suggests she'll get wet(sic!) and have to stay the night. Mother!!!)

LOL Ann! So good to "hear" your voice again!

Hah, Cheryl! %-) LOLd at your sentiment, I too was/am profoundly grateful! But, it may not be subtle to =us=! WE'VE watched and rewound our little tapes a thousand times (hmmm, wonder what the stat would be if we added up how many times each of us have rewatched and made a grand total of it?) and WE have dissected every detail with delight.* For a first time viewer, I think very few were consciously thinking whoa, that's erotic. I didn't the first 2 times I saw it on tv. I think we all 'felt' it on a gut level though (wicked grin) I also thought SOMEONE, thank Heaven, surely thought that scene out! Very clever use of the natural light, the whole thing had an unstudied look. Same thing happening right after with Lizzy's dress in that whole walk-up-the-steps scene. Reminiscent of Princess Diana's interview on the playground pre-marriage, dont' you think. Now, the bathing scene? THAT's what I'd call Overtly erotic! ;-) Oh, baby. *Uh, who was it that said that we should all fess us and admit that we, too, had had rewound, watched in slo mo, did a frame-by-frame, etc. of the bathing scene to see if there was anything we had missed? LOL! Oh yes, love the total want of propriety so frequently betrayed here!

Here's a little pre-WET glimpse...why is he waiting so long? I say "Jump on in baby!"

Well he we go almost the 500 mark and I want to be the one who does it. I was number 1 and I'll be 500

Yeah 500!!!!
