:P It was civil! I just *accidentally* stepped on the back of his shoe while he was walking towards a shop window! Anyway, I thought you didn't like Mr Collins...
I don't! we just have to be civil but not too violent.
Haha OK OK! I get it, you don't like him! :D Like I said before, there was no intention of shoving him through the glass and cutting up his face. It was meant to be more of a *face-window* moment - like a *face-palm* moment, but funnier. :)
Mod
LOL Becca! "it was civil!" haha I approve of your actions ;) lol! It would be more embarrassing than painful to fall into and not through a window! ;)
*leaving Mr Collins behind, we happen to see Lady Catherine de Bough. Of course being civil, I believe she deserves a verbal bashing*
"well hello Lady Catherine de Bough. How fortunate that we should meet."*
Exactly Soph! Very civil and very embarrassing. Thanks for the approval and support!*"Yes, extremely fortunate. We were just talking about how extremely interesting your sense of fashion is, Lady Catherine"* (said with a slight condescending look at her outfit. I figure condescending works as that is what she is like with everyone else).
Mod
"yes indeed we were! We were just saying how ... Interesting and .... Individual we find your sense or fashion. This applies to your house as well, Lady Catherine, which we hear from our dear friend Elizabeth Bennet (actually Elizabeth Darcy! She wasn't pleased with the match! :D) Elizabeth Darcy that your house shares a similar style. And speaking of Our dear friend, is it not a wonderful match? They seem so very happy."
"Oh yes, I hear Elizabeth Darcy (stresses Darcy :D) is vastly contented, Lady Catherine. Do you not think the fashion of your house is a little... outdated, my lady? As Soph said, our dear friend Elizabeth Darcy and her lovely husband have greatly improved upon Pemberley. Their holdings have such pretty grounds and lakes, do you not think, Lady Catherine? Elizabeth Darcy has said she very much adores walking around the lakes of Pemberley. A shame your own estate does not have such lakes... do not you agree, Soph?" :D
Mod
"Oh yes, very much in raptures! Indeed, Lady Catherine, you must go and visit your nephew and his new wife at some time, to hear her raptures! I'm sure you could, as Soph says, benefit much from their taste. Ah yes, the pollution! You would not know anything about that now, would you, Lady Catherine? It is a shame, my dear Soph, that they did not receive full support - although perhaps that has something to do with Lydia's marriage. Poor girl - I hear talk that someone gravely insulted the Bennett family by calling them inferior, and their youngest daughter's marriage 'scandalously patched up"! What rudeness! I'm sure, Lady Catherine, you too will be vastly ashamed of whoever would speak in such language of the family with which your nephew is now united. Have you not also heard rumors of the insults, Soph? It may just have been the one person involved, I cannot be sure..."
Good evening Lady Catherine de Bough, it's a pleasure to meet you. *curtsys gracefully* Did I ever tell you what a beautiful sense of fashion you have? (May I join?).

Mod
((Hehe, did you like my last contribution to the verbal battering, Soph?))
Mod
(thanks Sophie...I didn't want to appear rude).Lady Catherine, what you did to Elizabeth Bennet is unacceptable and for that I find this punishment to be acceptable and perfectly suitable for you. You shall send over half of your wealth to the Collins, I am sure that Charlotte would love the money..better yet, take her shopping with you some-time and buy her a dress.
To be continued.
(Haha, Anna, well done. Feel free to continue your lovely speech, I am enjoying it and am quite happy to wait :) I'm sure that Soph is enjoying it too)*links arms with Soph and sits down on a bench next to Lady Catherine, waiting to hear what else Anna has to say*
Mod
Mod
"Oh, I read your article on Sense and Sensibility and was looking for an opportunity to speak to you..."
*grins evilly and glides gracefully and inconspicuously behind the author, then pretending to trip on the hem of my dress, knocking into the author and sending the pile of printed articles he had into the mud*
Mod
*author goes to pick up his articles, but I also 'slip' and knock him down to join the articles in the mud*
*Thanks Soph, and smiles**author glares angrily at the two of us and tries to get up. I *tut tut* at the mud on him, and look as though to give him a handkerchief, but as he reaches for it I throw it in his face, and while he is distracted, deftly reach down and tug his ankle out from under him, sending him backward into the mud, so now his back is splattered as well as his front!* :D
Mod
"Ah, just the article I was looking for! Tell me, did you read Sense and Sensibility before writing this article?"
*giggles and whispers just loud enough for the author to hear - I highly doubt it."*
*tramples all un-dirtied articles into the mud - save the one that I use to wipe off my shoes with*(Who do you want to do next Soph?)
Mod
John Thorpe... From Northanger Abbey :)
Don't know him, but I'm up for it. :D You can go first. :)
Mod
*along comes the Thorpes, both John and Isabella Thorpe*
"Well if it isn't dear John and Isabella! My dear Becca I must introduce you to the Thorpes. They are good friends of my dear friend Catherine (the heroine)! In fact, now I remember, John played a hilarious joke on Catherine not that long ago, isn't that right John? And Isabella also WAS engaged to dear Catherine's brother, wasn't that right? Shame that had to end wasn't it. I heard rumours about it linking to something with Tilney's (the hero) brother, Frederick? But I am sure that is all just rumours?"
*awkward silence*
i just discovered the sheer awful dirty DESPICABLENESS of Mr Elliot
Mod
Wow Soph, that was a long post :D. *pretends to stumble, reticule goes gluing and hits John Thorpe in the face.*
Mod
*laughing at John I accidentally slap him round the face*
"And this ones for Catherine!"
*kicks him over. *smug face**
*steps in his coat, accidentally ripping it* :D
*rises hand*I want to slap Henry Crawford that loser jerk.I can't stand him.
Who's with me?
Mod
I'm up for it. :)And don't worry Soph - no explanations needed, I used Wikipedia this time. :D :D :D
*grabs glass of water and throws it in Henry's face and back handed slaps him across the face*
*laughs and pretends to hand him a towel, actually giving him a painful towel-whip on the arm*
Mod
*as he trys to move out of the way of Soph's towel whip I stick my foot out and he trips falling flat on his face*
:D *splashes more mud on the back of his coat with my shoe, then bends down and draws a smiley face in the mud. Stands up and wipes my finger on a handkerchief*
I take that handkerchief from Becca and offer it to Henry to wipe his face. You know he fell for it because he loves to please the ladies just for face. He passes the dirty handkerchief over his face, I stand by giggling. Imagine me giggling and I am not a giggling person. At that time John Thorpe passes near by to see what is happening. Henry stretches out is hand with a hunting stick (I just made that up) and accidentally struck John on his annoying mouth..
(We need to get this started again.)
(:D I've read Northanger Abbey now, I think I'll enjoy slapping John Thorpe)*Goes to dab at John Thorpe with a handkerchief, tut-tutting. "Oh, John, there's a beau that I am very much in love with - could you please tell him that he should ask me to marry him without asking me exactly? I know you're particularly good at that." *
((Heehee :D His stupid proposal thingy was so funny in the book.))
Oh Becca, let's do this together. I have a thing or two to tell him. :D
:D Haha, go ahead Anna. I'm just glad someone else has started posting here again! :)
Mr. Collins..here let me help you! *reaches out a hand for his and glares at Becca*
