   This is just absolutely amazing. I LOVE Pride and Prejudice, and you have captured something romantic and ethereal in an infographic. How did you do it?

     I have to thank the Internet and my managing editor, Charity.

     Fun to see you this morning.

   I always love your infographics, Lyla. You make me laugh, and I learn something along the way. (the bit about the estate names being like cat and dog names was particularly delightful!)

   Now I am in need of a dictionary.

     Seriously. One should be able to simply read a book and not need a companion reference guide and flowchart to accomplish it.

   I don’t know how I feel about this. Fun and clever, for sure, even if my inner codger is getting all uppity. And it’s clearly done out of love rather than efficiency. But Lizzy reading Burns? I don’t know; she’s too level-headed for that, for all her playfulness. She has a lot of Austen’s own ideals for herself, so I would guess she’d read Cowper like her creator.

   Oh, wait. Your graphic just made me think critically about Jane Austen. Well done.

     Well, our source on that did suggest that Burns was perchance a tad racy for Lizzy so we presume she did it in secret. What we do know is she wasn’t preferring to reading sonnets.

   Delightful, Lyla!

   At last I know where those words on the SAT come from:

   Superciliousness in ductility of disposition
   Repined at connubial felicity
   Precipitance of peevish panegyric

     She presents a challenge for a found poem, even for you, Maureen.

     My kingdom for a single-syllable word.
