    20 | I want to buy a house for you

    I’m planning to buy an old Ohio house, and I’d like you along from the start.

    19 | Mr. Gardiner a.k.a. the uncle who out-parents everyone

    Mr. Bennet gets all the quotable lines. Mr. Gardiner gets none of them — and does all the actual work. This week I'm making the case for the most underrated adult in Pride and Prejudice (and his wife), and what it means that Mary Bennet only gets to fall in love once she's finally living in their house instead of her own. Why the most important turning point in Lizzy's romance happens because of an uncle, not her father The real story behind who handled the Lydia-Wickham disaster (spoiler: not Mr. Bennet) What Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Gardiner reveal about the difference between loud devotion and real attention Come tell me who your favorite quietly-competent side character is over in the Society of Kindred Spirits — I read every comment.

    18 | Wait, what if Mr. Bennet wasn’t ever the good parent? #morallygray

    Reconsidering the "fun, sarcastic dad" of Pride and Prejudice — and why his charm might be covering for some serious neglect. Why being funnier than Mrs. Bennet isn't the same as being a good father What he saw coming with Lydia, and why he let it happen anyway A personal detour: discovering this book at nine, thanks to a dog in a tiny cravat Discussion prompt: Too harsh on Mr. Bennet, or right on the money?

    17 | The Other Bennet Sister & gently wanting what you shouldn’t

    Chatting about my impressions of The Other Bennet Sister (the mini-series show, not the book), and why gently wanting what you shouldn't is better and hits way harder than a love triangle. --- Get your free ebook at https://worderella.com/news
