It's the day of the concert! Anne and Wentworth finally get a chance to talk. Anne is CERTAIN that Wentworth loves her, Mr. Elliot makes his intentions clear, Captain Wentworth is JEALOUS, and Molly is shipping Elliot and Anne.
Topics discussed include some clarification on marriage rules, the possibility of recovering from a broken heart, whomst Elliot's friend might be, why Elliot's proposal is a surprise, and whether Anne would accept if Wentworth proposed now.
Glossary of Terms and Phrases:
contiguous (adj.): next or together in sequence.
Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Revenge of the Sith Opera House, the Bolshoi, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Patron Study Questions:
Avi: In this chapter Wentworth offers Anne his umbrella. Do you think this is something he would have done earlier in the book? What does that signify about Wentworth and his own journey?
Ghenet: What do you think Anne and Wentworth’s conversation (about Lyme, about Benwick and Louisa etc) tells us about what he’s feeling (not just what Anne thinks he’s feeling - is she a reliable narrator in this moment?)
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include what would change is Wentworth professed his love to Anne, Sir Walter's opinion of Wentworth, how Elliot has heard of Anne before and whether he knew she was coming to Bath, and whose team we're on.
Funniest Quote: “Yes, yes, I see you are. I see you know nothing of the matter. You have only knowledge enough of the language to translate at sight these inverted, transposed, curtailed Italian lines, into clear, comprehensible, elegant English. You need not say anything more of your ignorance. Here is complete proof.”
Questions Moving Forward: Why did Elliot come to Bath? If Wentworth proposed to Anne now, would she accept?
Who wins the chapters? Mr. Elliot

Ghenet: 1. Why do you think Louisa and Captain Benwick fell in love with each other? 2. We see Anne with members of the upper class and members of the lower class (by the Elliots’ standards) but where is it that you think Anne is most comfortable and most herself?

Ghenet: What are your thoughts on Captain Benwick and Cousin Elliot? Why do you think they’re doing for the story at this point?

Funniest Quote: “I wish,” said Henrietta, very well pleased with her companion, “I wish Lady Russell lived at Uppercross, and were intimate with Dr. Shirley. I have always heard of Lady Russell as a woman of the greatest influence with everybody! I always look upon her as able to persuade a person to anything!

Patron Study Questions:
Emily: Anne has very few confidantes in the book so far - how does that change how we learn about her and her hopes?
Kat: This book is often described as Austen's more deep or perhaps more serious work, but it is also incredibly funny! What do you think about the balance between the intense pining and heartache and humour in these chapters? We don’t have many sassy/witty lines like the ones in P&P, instead we have Jane Austen in her rocking chair painting a hilarious picture for us and I love it!
Ghenet: First impressions of Captain Wentworth?
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include how Jane teaches us about Anne, the role of the Crofts, the last eight years, what Wentworth wants, and whether Anne is of feeble character.
Funniest Quote: One of the least agreeable circumstances of her residence there was her being treated with too much confidence by all parties, and being too much in the secret of the complaints of each house. Known to have some influence with her sister, she was continually requested, or at least receiving hints to exert it, beyond what was practicable. “I wish you could persuade Mary not to be always fancying herself ill,” was Charles’s language; and, in an unhappy mood, thus spoke Mary: “I do believe if Charles were to see me dying, he would not think there was anything the matter with me. I am sure, Anne, if you would, you might persuade him that I really am very ill—a great deal worse than I ever own.”
Questions Moving Forward: Does Captain Wentworth want to marry a Musgrove daughter?
Who wins the chapters? Captain Wentworth

There's a LOT going on in this episode. This is the humbling of Emma Woodhouse. Buckle up.
Emma begins to realize she might be the problem, Jane finally accepts a governess position and promptly falls ill. Knightley almost kisses Emma's hand, Mrs. Churchill DIES, and Jane starts avoiding Emma. And FINALLY, it is revealed that Jane and Frank have been LONG ENGAGED?!?!?
Study questions: Topics discussed include Emma's repentance, Jane's avoidance of Emma, a deep dive into the engagement, and whether Frank Churchill is the villain of this story.
Funniest quote: "It was felt as such things must be felt. Every body had a degree of gravity and sorrow; tenderness towards the departed, solicitude for the surviving friends; and, in a reasonable time, curiosity to know where she would be buried. Goldsmith tells us, that when lovely woman stoops to folly, she has nothing to do but to die; and when she stoops to be disagreeable, it is equally to be recommended as a clearer of ill-fame. Mrs. Churchill, after being disliked at least twenty-five years, was now spoken of with compassionate allowances. In one point she was fully justified. She had never been admitted before to be seriously ill. The event acquitted her of all the fancifulness, and all the selfishness of imaginary complaints."
Questions moving forward: Why was Frank flirting with Emma?
Who wins the chapters? Emma!

ostler (n): a man employed to look after the horses of people staying at an inn.

Study questions: Topics discussed include Jane's fatigue, Emma and Jane's talk, Frank's flirting, Box Hill-gate and Emma's reaction to being called out.

Funniest quote: "From that day to this, I never mentioned it to a soul that I know of. At the same time, I will not positively answer for my having never dropt a hint, because I know I do sometimes pop out a thing before I am aware. I am a talker, you know; I am rather a talker; and now and then I have let a thing escape me which I should not. I am not like Jane; I wish I were. I will answer for it she never betrayed the least thing in the world."

Funniest quote: "John Knightley only was in mute astonishment.—That a man who might have spent his evening quietly at home after a day of business in London, should set off again, and walk half a mile to another man’s house, for the sake of being in mixed company till bed-time, of finishing his day in the efforts of civility and the noise of numbers, was a circumstance to strike him deeply. A man who had been in motion since eight o’clock in the morning, and might now have been still, who had been long talking, and might have been silent, who had been in more than one crowd, and might have been alone!—Such a man, to quit the tranquillity and independence of his own fireside, and on the evening of a cold sleety April day rush out again into the world!—Could he by a touch of his finger have instantly taken back his wife, there would have been a motive; but his coming would probably prolong rather than break up the party. John Knightley looked at him with amazement, then shrugged his shoulders, and said, “I could not have believed it even of him."

Questions Moving Forward: What is Willoughby doing there? What's happening to Marianne? Will Mrs. Dashwood get there okay?

Welcome to our new podcast, the Jennings Apologists Podcast.

Chapter 14: Lady Catherine de Bourgh tells Lizzy how she really feels. Highlights include Lizzy pleading the fifth, Molly and Becca's Austen personas, Molly forgetting who Caroline is, and Lizzy's one star Yelp review.

Chapter 16: Molly spills her coffee all over her book. Darcy returns to Longbourn! Lizzy and Darcy have The Talk! Highlights include a scene in the rain, the satisfaction of hearing someone take ownership for being shitty, Darcy as the Beast, and Molly finding out nobody kisses in Jane Austen.
Study Questions: Topics discussed include Catherine de Bourgh's classism, breaking etiquette, marriage as a financial act, Collins's letter, everyone's perspectives on the Dizzy relationship, these chapters as a proposal, a comparison between this and Proposalgeddon, Lizzy and Darcy as Lorelai and Luke, a Dizzy montage, the lack of kissing
Funniest Quote: "That is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man, it would've been nothing, but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike make it so delightfully absurd. Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any consideration. Nay. When I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy of my son-in-law."
Questions moving forward: Will they kiss? Will Lizzy's parents reject Darcy?
Who wins the chapter? Dizzy!

No officer is ever to enter my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be absolutely prohibited unless you stand up with one of your sisters, and you are never to stir out of doors til you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner.

Chapter 16: Dinner party at Mrs. Philips' house. Wickham arrives, and Molly postulates that perhaps Lizzy might have a croosh. DARCY/WICKHAM DRAMA!!! We get into the depths of using the TITULAR WORDS. We find out Darcy is related to the de Bourghs, and there are wedding bells in his future with Baby DB. Highlights include: Sir Kenneth Branagh (and a shout out to Potterless), Lydia, Darcy and Wickham as Ross and Rachel, a burn tally for Darcy, the Shire, can we trust Downton Abbey?
Chapter 17: Lizzy tells Jane what's happened, and Jane remains infuriatingly impartial. Bingley and his sisters invite everyone to a ball at Netherfield! Even Collins is excited and hopes that Lizzy will dance with him. OH NO. He wants to marry her. Highlights include: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Mary as a lesbian in Williamsburg.
Chapter 18: The day of the ball! Wickham is NOT there. Darcy asks Lizzy to dance and Molly, unfortunately, begins shipping Lizzy and Darcy. Lizzy brings up Wickham just to stir the pot. Caroline tries to get involved. Collins decides he MUST introduce himself to Darcy on account of his connections to Lady Katie DB. We have an Embarrass Lizzy Festival including a song from Mary and a speech from Collins. Highlights include: Colin Firth and Prejudice, dancing as a metaphor for bad sex, Harry and Hermione fanfiction, Collins as Peter the Great (Monument to Peter I at Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg), a very drunk Mrs. Bennet, and an in depth discussion of the Golden Shower (Danae and Zeus). Molly learns that nowadays golden shower means something very different from the sperm of the gods.
Please note: Our audio producer Graham pointed out that it was neither American Idol nor the X-Factor that has the golden buzzer--it's America's Got Talent.
Study Questions:
Wickham vs. Darcy: Molly likes Wickham but doesn't trust him yet. Molly wants Lizzy to bang them both but she's now #prodizzy.
Love triangles: Darcy and Wickham love Lizzy and loathe each other. Darcy has Baby DB and Caroline. Mr. Collins just really wants to be a part of it all. We will be posting a picture of this chart on our Instagram.
Class struggles: Darcy is the most classist person in the book so far, and that colors his relationships with everyone, especially Wickham.
Dancing: The first TOUCH. Molly compares the rules of courting in this time period to the thin walls of Chekhov's estate.
Bennet family yikes: Lizzy is more concerned for Jane than she is for herself.
The de BOURGHS: All of the plots converged on each other. Catherine de Bourgh is Darcy's aunt and Baby de Bourgh is his cousin. Becca points out that this prearranged marriage is intended to keep the fortune in the family. (Quick plug of Molly's poetry Instagram.) Molly notes that the de Bourgh's clergyman is Collins who's equally trying to marry his own cousin. At this point, Molly thinks Lizzy doesn't really have a choice but to marry Mr. Collins.
We think maybe Wickham could be played by a young Christian Bale circa Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Kenneth Branagh, or maybe Heath Ledger circa 10 Things I Hate About You.
Funniest quote: Jane: "It is difficult indeed. It is difficult indeed. It is distressing. One does not know what to think." Lizzy: "I beg your pardon. One knows exactly what to think." (Molly is Jane and Becca is Lizzy).
Biggest question: Does Darcy know he's engaged to Baby DB?
Who wins the chapters? DARCYYYYYY!!!!??????

The chapters that break Molly's brain. We go with three chapters instead of four this week, as these are MEATY chapters.
Chapter 13: Guess who's coming to dinner? It's Mr. Collins, the man to whom Longbourn is entailed. Check out some info on entails/fee-tails here. We also dig into the Anglican church. We don't love Collins's motices for coming to visit. Highlights include: filial scruples, Becca's Collins impersonation, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Simple Plan, women staying out of the kitchen, and full-hard incest.
Chapter 14: Casual not-tense-at-all dinner conversation. Highlights include Mr. Collins as Tahani Al-Jamil, Baby de Bourgh's low Dungeons and Dragons score, Fordyce's Sermons, and Becca's career in audiobook narration.
Chapter 15: Being in possession of a good fortune, Mr. Collins is now in want of a wife. We follow the girls to Meryton and meet TWO MORE new characters--Wickham and Mrs. Phillips. There's some tension between Wickham and Darcy that even Jane notices. Highlights include: Molly discovers Pride and Prejudice was written in 2013, Pompous Nothings and Civil Assents, Darcy and Bingley on a horse (together), Mary's bug collection, and Mulan.
Study Questions:
Collins, Wickham, and Mrs. Phillips: Wickham is full of potential, Collins is their annoying cousin, and Mrs. Phillips is Molly's new favorite character.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her daughter: Molly guesses that Baby de Bourgh is going to be competition for the Bennet girls. She is currently shipping Collins and Baby de Bourgh. She thinks Catherine de Bourgh would be played by Gwenyth Paltrow.
The face of the inheritance drama: We are STRESSED that one of the daughters may have to marry Collins to keep their estate. Molly does not hate him.
Darcy and Wickham--what's UP? Is it a feud over a woman? Is it a feud over money? Molly starts by guessing that they're distant relatives whose families have been feuding for decades, then decides Wickham stole Darcy's girlfriend when they were in high school.
What's gonna happen at dinner? Kydia will be in heaven with all the officers. Molly predicts that Wickham and Jane are gonna get it on while Bingley is away.
Funniest quote: Collins says, "They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible."
Biggest question: What the fuck happened between Darcy and Wickham???
Who wins the chapters? Mrs. Phillips!

Chapter 9: Jane is feeling better. Mrs. Bennet and Kydia come to visit and determine that Jane isn't well enough to leave Netherfield. Mrs. Bennet and Darcy duke it out over the merits of country vs. town, among other things. Lydia requests a ball at Netherfield. Highlights include: we're still anti-Darcy, Lydia's age, dancing balls, and singing valentines.
Chapter 10: Evening parlour time. DOES CAROLINE HAVE A CROOSH?? Bingley makes fun of Darcy for being a try hard. Darcy just stares at Lizzy. Caroline and Darcy go for a walk, and she tries to talk shit about Lizzy to him. Highlights include: Nathan Pyle, did you write Pride and Prejudice? Leanne, Molly's 7th grade history teacher, four-syllable words, the power of friendship, more Mean Girls references, and the danger of love.
Chapter 11: Jane comes downstairs! Bingley attends only to her, while Caroline reads over Darcy's shoulder. They discuss the ball, and Caroline tries (and fails) to show off for Darcy. Lizzy wants to poke fun at him, but Darcy admits to his shortcomings. Highlights include: white soup, vanity vs. pride, and Fitzwilliam?!?
Chapter 12: Lizzy begs her mom to let them come home, but Mrs. B won't have it. They plan instead to borrow Bingley's carriage the next day. Darcy changes tactics in a STUPID way. Mr. Bennet is happy his smart daughters are home. Highlights include: Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought, useless and disappointing.
Study Questions:
Mrs. Bennet vs. Darcy: He's behaving like her punching bag. She's holding a grudge and not holding her tongue.
Bingley and Jane: Lizzy approves. We've gotten a lot about how Bingley feels but not much about how Jane feels.
Bingley's faults: He's soft, he's sweet, but he doesn't want to be affected by things. He doesn't want to feel too deeply or get attached to any place. He lacks a sense of self.
Caroline's CROOSH: Maybe she thinks she's impressing him by being the worst.
Darcy's CROOSH: Molly is prejudiced against Darcy because he's a rich, tall man who has trouble moving beyond social status.
Funniest quote: "I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love."
Question moving forward: The Bingley sisters are fucking shit up. How will Caroline and Lizzy's relationship develop? What's next now that they're home?
Who wins the chapters? Caroline loses so hard she wins.

Chapter 5: Meet the Lucases! They're a big deal, y'all. Sir Lucas is a knight who just wants to hang out and be a friendly rich dude. Lady Lucas is the Gretchen Wieners to Mrs. Bennet's Regina George. Charlotte gets down to post-ball gossip with the Bennets. Highlights include: Bitch Crackers TM, Mary's musings on pride vs. vanity, the TITULAR LINE!, dogs, and wine.
Chapter 6: The game changer. The Bingley sisters come to visit. They hate the whole family, but see potential for friendship with Jane and Lizzy. Party time! Charlotte and Lizzy discuss Jane's love life. Molly finds out that Jane Austen is dead. Darcy changes his tune. Molly finds out that Mary is just an annoying MT major. Sir William tries to play matchmaker between Lizzy and Darcy. Highlights include: Charlotte in general, Adam Scott's nose, damp heat blankets, Darcy's CROOSH, Darcy's inability to socialize, piano duels, gossip session between Darcy and Miss. Bingley, love and marriage.
Chapter 7: Kydia goes to Meryton to get the gossip on the officers who are staying there, and report back to their parents. A note comes inviting Jane to Netherfield to hang out with the Bingley ladies, and she gets stuck there. Oops. Then our girl Lizzy walks all the way to Netherfield by herself, and Molly begins to soften on Darcy (only slightly). Highlights include: Economic marriage in Austen's time (!!!), Orlando Bloom's face on a pillow, Mean Girls Interlude, Mrs. Bennet's SCHEME, Darcy's boner.
Chapter 8: Lizzy is at a party she does not want to be at. She's stayed over at Netherfield to keep Jane company, but she HATES IT HERE. The sisters Bingley are assholes. That's pretty much the chapter. Highlights include: Charlie, BOOKS, READING, the accomplishments of women, and "I'm not like other girls."
Study questions:
Vanity vs. Pride: Molly agrees that pride is okay until it's not.
Darcy's shift: Molly is speechless. This is the original "he's mean to you because he likes you." Becca makes a CHEESY postulation on dating. We're still #antidizzy on this podcast.
Austen's perceptions of love: Love is not equal to marriage. Becca recommends Fleabag for some good good flirting.
Lizzy's long walk: Lizzy is willing to literally go the extra mile for people she cares about.
Mrs. Hurst vs. Caroline Bingley: Molly thinks Caroline is a good, supportive friend to Darcy! She thinks Mrs. Hurst is a bitch when she does speak, but speaks much less than Caroline. A prediction: the sisters will sabotage Jingley.
Darcy's life: Pemberly is gorgeous, he has a sister, he has a lot of BOOKS, and a lot of wealth he didn't work for.
Jingley: We STAN, Bingley is a gentle boy. Molly wants to see more of the two of them together. #teamjingley
Funniest quote: "Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend." GOD DARCY, THAT WAS FAST.
Question moving forward: Why, Darcy?? Will Lizzy be receptive if he confesses?
Who wins the chapter? Charlotte!

Meet Molly and Becca! We begin with an intro to who we are and where we stand on Jane Austen. Then we launch into Volume the First of Pride and Prejudice!
Chapter 1: We meet Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and discuss their mildly sexy banter. The hot gossip is that a very rich and very single man is moving into Netherfield Park, and Mr. Bennet needs to write to him. Highlights include the rules of etiquette then and now, Jane Austen fun facts, a nonexistent movie starring Kiera Knightly and Colin Firth, our badass moms, "Keep Calm and Austen On," Bennet roleplay, and of course, marrying for money.
Chapter 2: Mr. Bennet went to visit Mr. Bingley! Highlights include an overly dramatic Mrs. Bennet, IS KITTY SICK?, poor Mary, and your substitute teacher Zachary Quinto.
Chapter 3: Bingley isn't coming to dinner, but we get to meet him at the long-awaited ball. Highlights include THE ENTRANCE OF DARCY, Colin Firth???, dancing drama, and our new Hilary Duff/Rupert Grint OTP.
Chapter 4: Lizzy and Jane's Corner! Highlights include Charlie Bingley, Molly getting very riled up about Darcy, confusing money talk, the evolution of misogyny, and Bingley needing twelve opinions on his choices.
Study Questions:
We chat about the first line of the book (with a shout out to @el_silvero's FIRE tweet on the matter) and dating in the modern world.
Thoughts on the five Bennet sisters? We discuss middle children, Molly postulates that Lydia MIGHT be gay and Kitty MIGHT be sick. Lizzy would most likely be found at the Women's March, and Jane is an overall good person.
Bingley/Jane vs. Lizzy/Darcy? #projingley #antidizzy
Bingley/Darcy vs. Lizzy/Jane? We discuss friendship dynamics, extroverts and introverts, and how opposites attract. Molly makes some predictions about how the friendships will develop.
Funniest quote: "I'M SICK OF BINGLEY!" or "I can assure you that Lizzy does not lose much but not suiting his fancy. For he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high, and so conceited that there is no enduring him. He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very great. Not handsome enough to dance with! I wish you had been there, me dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. I quite detest the man."
Question moving forward: What does Bingley see in Darcy?
Who wins the chapter?: Mrs. Bennet!
