There's just something kind of fake about her, and it bugs the day lights out of me.Ameliahttp://littlethoughtsaboutbooks.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169468476652503976.post-55120940793145768242014-08-05T11:17:02.149-04:002014-08-05T11:17:02.149-04:00A lot of people wanted the Bennets to be more a pa...A lot of people wanted the Bennets to be more a part of Longbourn, but I think it was better that they were really in the background.<br /><br /><br />I am very influenced by the protagonist's point of view. Since Fanny dislikes Mary, I usually disliked Mary as well. Same with Emma--she dislikes Jane Fairfax so I've always disliked her, though the woman is practically a saint!JaneGSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169468476652503976.post-87571477200604996832014-08-05T10:55:54.975-04:002014-08-05T10:55:54.975-04:00I'm glad to see someone enjoyed Longbourn.

For some reason I had a dislike for Mary Crawford and as I'm reading I can't figure out why.Ameliahttp://littlethoughtsaboutbooks.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169468476652503976.post-87231259393159612592014-08-05T10:54:41.614-04:002014-08-05T10:54:41.614-04:00You're welcome.
