Now I have got the right BCID I will copy the journal entry from the 23rd December 2016 here an delate the other book:
"Untertitel: It is a truth universally acknowledged that Lady Catherine will never find a husband for Anne..."
Ich habe das Buch heute als Überraschungswunschbuch im Briefkasten gehabt und mich sehr doll gefreut. Zeitgleich kam ein anderes Überraschungspackt von der anderen "üblichen Verdächtigen" Abnehmerin der AustenSpinOffs an. Ihr beide seid so süß. Danke :-) "

This year I am only reading book which give me pleasure. So I read this book again.
And I liked it again :-)
Lady Chathrine sucks and this version gives us a good explanation why Anne is so weak und sickly. She is growing up and gets intependent (as independant as one can get as a woman in those times) and it is nice to watch her doing so. Elizabeth hardly takes a part in this book. But this is the first version I read where there is a romantic happy end for Mrs Annseley.
There are two quotes which I really enjoyed:
They are talking about the posibility that Lady Catherine has returned to Rosings:
page 142
""Surely she has!" said Elizabeth, "for there certainly must be matters to attend to, farms to visit, tanants to be scolded, after an interval of so many weeks. Think of the number of people who need shelves in their closets!""
On page 188 Lady Cathrine talks about her daughters writing:
"Novels ought to be forbidden, for they are only read by woman who spend their time uselessly and neglet their duties."
Well Lady Cathrine must have been talking about me, for every time I thing about cleaning my apartment I rather take a book and read and my rooms stay uncleaned... :-)
