just a little quote...

This quite aptly describes a certain soirée spent with some colleagues, and my opinion of them. Where better place to find such a quote than Pride and Prejudice (I'm taking it from the miniseries rather than the book, because of course that is easier to memorize)?

Elizabeth Bennet: I believe Mr Darcy improves on closer acquaintance.

Mr Wickham: Oh, indeed? In what respect? Has he acquired a touch of civility in his address, for I dare not hope he has improved in essentials

Elizabeth Bennet: No, I believe in essentials he is as much as he ever was.

Mr Wickham: Ah.

Elizabeth Bennet: I don't mean to imply that either his mind or his manners are changed for the better. Rather, my knowing him better improved my opinion of him.

Much love. x
