Chapter 1-3

I know that I said a chapter at a time, but they seemed so small that I was able to get through three chapters with little interferance. So let me know if that is ok.

I find this time period  in history fascinating. Kelie and I were talking about the movie "Miss Potter" and I think this book resembles that movie. Single women are introduced to these possible husbands just to make a forward move. It seems there should have been some courting time to see if they could even stand one another. Also, a woman's struggle to be considered something is also very interesting. As a teacher you see how a parent's judgement about their child really influences what happens to them.

So far, I really don't like the dad, but I guess we are not supposed to like him. He needs to realize he is no better than anyone else. Is the father's income all from inheritance? And the daughter, Elizabeth, were there no other options for her to marry? She is twenty nine! In that time period, that is like four hundred. On more question for the masses: what is wrong with the city Bath? I am going to look it up.

Introductions

I thought we could do a chapter at a time so those that are busy teaching college students, teaching piano and seminary students, those taking college classes, carrying out their church callings, or working full time would not be overwhelmed. :) I think that covers everyone.


I want to let everyone know who is joining us. We have five people joining us so far. We have Kelie, Cory, Aunt Truelee (my lovely sister-in-law), Aunt Janet (my lovely sister), and myself. If you want to invite any family members to join us please do so.
