  1. RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT is out today! On the road and back on July 9th. More Persuasion tweets then...Adieu, fair tweeples.
  2. Persuasion, Ch21: Anne shudders to think that if not for her pre-engaged heart, she might have been persuaded to marry the scheming sod.
  3. Persuasion, Ch21: Mr. Elliot fears that Eliz's friend Mrs. Clay will marry Sir Walter. And if she has a son, HE will be the next Sir Walter.
  4. Persuasion, Ch21: Mrs. Smith says that although Mr. Elliot fell in love w/Anne, his 1st motivation to reconcile w/her family was mercenary.
  5. Persuasion, Ch21: Mr. Elliot is "a cold-blooded being," says she. (Hello, weren't you trying to get Anne to marry him a minute ago??)
  6. Persuasion, Ch21: Mr. Elliot is executor of Mr. Smith's estate, yet refuses to disentangle Mrs. Smith's desperate financial affairs. Dog.
  7. @Austenprose For your six-word challenge: Pride and Prejudice: Boy disses girl. Boy wins girl.
  8. Persuasion, Ch21: It seems that Mrs. Smith and her late husband were close with Mr. Elliot, but he abandoned her after Mr. Smith's death.
  9. Persuasion, Ch21. Mrs. Smith encourages Anne to marry Mr. Elliot, but when Anne says no way, Mrs. Smith sings a different tune.
  10. Persuasion, Ch21: Mrs. Smith tells Anne that everyone thinks Anne will marry Mr. Elliot, & she hopes Anne will influence him on her behalf.
  11. Persuasion-Ch20: Jealous! "For a moment the gratification was exquisite." And yet...without text or tweet, "How was the truth to reach him?"
  12. Persuasion, Ch20: "No!" says he, "there is nothing worth my staying for." And with that he's gone. Ouch. The man is definitely green-eyed.
  13. Persuasion, Ch20: Result: Capt W says he's outta there. "Is not this song worth staying for?" says Anne, suddenly realizing he's jealous.
  14. Persuasion, Ch20: Finally Anne speaks with Capt W, who is once again reserved. No sooner does he warm up when Mr. Elliot barges in. Grrrr!
  15. @StaceyKade Thank you. And how exciting about your upcoming novel!
  16. @heidenkind Exactly. The man is such a dog.
  17. Persuasion, Ch20: Anne has no wish to drink the KoolAid. She only wants THE ONE. But how to escape the suffocating circle of her party?
  18. @StaceyKade You go, girl. #writegoal
  19. Persuasion, Ch20: "And, if I dared," says he, "I would breathe my wishes that the name might never change." Put a cork in it, Mr. Elliot.
  20. Persuasion, Ch20: "The name of Anne Elliot...has long had an interesting sound to me." Says the spider to the fly.
