I am very happy to announce one additional activity for the Jane Austen in character weekend on August 2nd. Tess Quinn will read a story from her recently-published book, Pride Revisited. It is a collection of “interludes”, scenes that can be inserted into the plot of Pride and Prejudice at given moments without necessarily changing the original events which preceded or follow. I think my favorite story is “A Gentleman’s Gentleman” which gives us an intimate glimpse of Darcy as he converses with the valet who knows him well. And if you enjoy the book as much as I do, you can take home a signed copy as a souvenir of the weekend.
