I download these videos and trudge out into the woods with my big black puppy, Daisy. Yesterday, she found a deer bone and chomped on it contentedly as you read of Darcy and Collins et al. What a joy. In grief or anxiety, a sense of purpose is the best hold to bring one into better feelings. You are giving us this. I am blazing a trail through the woods. Thank you for accompanying me into the Massachusetts woods by Little Herring Pond and allowing Violet and Daisy to play as you read and I work.
How delightful! I was almost hoping to hear you say about Mr. Darcy's behavior, "Really? Astonish me." I loved that line. Scratch Violet on the ears for her joining us. She's right on cue!
Every day I look forward to your reading session and find myself being a little happier, a little lighter. Thank you for the soft warmth, Jennifer. From Ferrara, Italy
I continue to enjoy all the little imperfections, which aren't, of your readings. It makes me feel reminiscent of having been read to as a child and it is so enjoyable. It's also very evident that your Violet loves you very much and is very conscious of being your guardian. I truly believe you should venture on to other books, even if not Austen, and post more readings. I hope this time of sheltering kept you and your family safe. BTW, thank you for your comment the other time to those who must deal with the pandemic. I am a nurse and never stopped working due to my necessity and it has been exhausting. I wish I had seen these postings of yours during the worst of it because it would have been very helpful to get me to relax. Thank you again.
I love the readings! Thank you so much for sharing your gift of storytelling. This is a guilty pleasure for sure. My husband asked me what I was doing. I told him that I was watching & listening to YOU read Jane Austen. It sounds crazy, however, I think it is brilliant! I have recommended your readings- so you can expect more people to watch ☺️. Your rendering of Elizabeth Bennett remains, in my estimation, the best of them all!!
A very big thank you all the way from India... With the lockdown making me an insomniac, listening to my favourite Jennifer Ehle reading my favourite book is a treat indeed.. particularly this chapter and the last one (the proposal)... What sets this reading apart is the casual, homely manner with which she reads.. repeating if she makes a mistake, takes disturbances in the house in her stride... all in all a wonderful experience!
First time I read P&P and got to the letter chapter, I was disgusted with Wickham for being a fortune hunter. But when I looked back on it when I was older, I realised that Georgiana was also a victim of child grooming. 15 was very young to elope, even by Georgian standards 🤢
Mr. Darcy's handwriting must have been minuscule in the extreme to have written all of that on a mere two pages. It's a wonder she could read it without the benefit of a large magnifying glass.
I know it's been said before but thank you. Your readings are the only things I've been excited to see in the last few days. Looking forward to listening to you work through one of my favorite stories has really helped make these isolated days tolerable.
Your reading makes even the most mundane act of organizing a space where there is none left, a pleasant experience. I save your reading for these acts when what MUST be done, SHOULD be done with calm and enjoyment to GET done.
I love to check and see when your reading or have have read more. My dog goes crazy when Violet does so funny. He thinks he is going to double team with her 🤦♀️😂. Thank you Loving this Jennifer
Elisabeth Bennet - Jennifer Ehle , Quel charme ! Quel talent ! Une beauté émouvante , des yeux splendides , scintillants , un charme irrésistible . Du début à la fin , on est sous son charme . Elle est tout simplement adorable ! Une femme comme on n'en trouve que dans ses rêves , et qu'on cherche désespérément au réveil . Et le film " orgueil et préjugés " ( Pride and prejudice " est excellent . Excellents les acteurs , excellents les costumes , les coiffures , les magnifiques danses , le décors , les paysages , la musique . Bien sûr , le cinéma qui est mouvement ( κινημα ) , doit abréger les analyses de sentiments et les commentaires . Le texte est parfois modifié , mais dans l'ensemble le film est idèle au texte . On est séduit par ce monde où règnent la courtoisie , la distinction et les bonnes manières , qui ont , hélas ! disparu aujourd'hui . Merci à tous ceux qui ont participé à cette adaptation du chef-d'oeuvre de Jane Austen . Ce film est un vrai joyau , un régal !!! Jennifer Ehle for ever !!! Jean Linakis
Thank you! Your rendition of this letter was very emotional... I was on edge, like I haven't read this a few times 😂... Also, three levels of decay! and "but, my pride!"😂
How is it that, no matter how many times I've read the book and watched my favorite dramatization, I'm still on tenterhooks in this chapter? Will they work it out? I love the readings, thank you so much!
@@jenniferehlereadingfrommyc1836 for me Tuesday is nearly over. I'm in Kazakhstan, enjoying this as a wind down after a day of confused online teaching. Have a lovely day.
“The envelope itself was likewise full...” meaning, he ran out of space and wrote on the inside of the envelope...the level of detail is so cinematic ...I’m listening to this the third time is keeping me company in the darkest time thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Loved listening to these on IG. I went to try and find them again, but your account is no longer there :( Watching the Kiera Knightly version of P&P and it's just not the same.
Jennifer going back to re-read because it didn’t make sense.. this is me! I love Jane Austen but some sentences have to be re-read to make sense. (I’m not native English)
Violet growling as Wickham is about to cruelly deceive Ms. Darcy is priceless!

I am so grateful you are reading this giving up your time. I am loving every moment. Thank you

Yes, a wonderful gift for we Insomniacs!
I love these! Violet does sometimes make me jump with her woofs! 🤣 She is a beautiful dog ❤️
Listening to you read it, is like listening to the movie.
I find myself in a silly state of great impatience... Silly, indeed! Like I haven't read it before... several times. Thank you once more.
First time I read P&P and got to the letter chapter, I was disgusted with Wickham for being a fortune hunter. But when I looked back on it when I was older, I realised that Georgiana was also a victim of child grooming. 15 was very young to elope, even by Georgian standards 🤢
Olivia Smith Lydia is the same age as Georgiana was at the time of her elopement.
Thank you so much for this! You are in our hearts like our dear Elizabeth forever ❤
These make my days so much better ❤️
Omg. I hate being stuck at home, but I love these little reading gems. Thank you. 💕
It's like reading with a friend. Thank you!

Love these videos! I watch them during the day and then again right before bed.
Thank you for adding so to these uncharted days! 👋🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️
I am enjoying this so very much. It brings lightness into my heart.
Your reading makes even the most mundane act of organizing a space where there is none left, a pleasant experience. I save your reading for these acts when what MUST be done, SHOULD be done with calm and enjoyment to GET done.
Oh..and I found his letter sweet to her. Love him more so..
i hope you continue these with other austen novels it’s really nice to listen to, thank you for making them accessible to us! 🥺
Yes! please come back to read Jennifer!
'Three levels of decay...' 😅 we love you
thank you for your reading in this moment, love it! take care and stay safe
Listening to this after recently finishing a reread of Emma and I’ve now concluded that Mr. Darcy is the Emma of Pride and Prejudice.
I love to check and see when your reading or have have read more. My dog goes crazy when Violet does so funny. He thinks he is going to double team with her 🤦♀️😂. Thank you Loving this Jennifer
Thank you
From Russia
Thank you 💐💕💫
This letter is quite a piece of convoluted, dense prose! 😁 Thank you so much for these readings! ♥️ Listening from Greece 🇬🇷

Love this book! Stay well!
How is it that, no matter how many times I've read the book and watched my favorite dramatization, I'm still on tenterhooks in this chapter? Will they work it out? I love the readings, thank you so much!
I found myself doing the same thing when I read the book again a few months ago
3 videos in 1 day! 😀 And to think Tuesdays are usually the worst.
It is Tuesday right? I don't even know anymore.
Actually woke to find Tuesday already crossed off on our calendar but I do believe it is indeed happening despite that :)

Stay home and listen Jennifer Ehle reading Pride and Prejudice... Thank you! 🥰❤🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Darcy must have known that proper young ladies, like Jane Bennett, didn't show their feelings in public (unlike Caroline Bingley)
Loved listening to these on IG. I went to try and find them again, but your account is no longer there :( Watching the Kiera Knightly version of P&P and it's just not the same.
Yesssss the letter!
Fitzwilliam Darcy. Fitzwilliam?? She goes through the rest of her life with Fitz? And the headline the local social column reads..."Fitz to be tied!"
"Three levels of decay"!!!
‘Evening’ in The Netherlands, thank you again for great reading.
Wow, I really miss you!
Thank you!
Jennifer going back to re-read because it didn’t make sense.. this is me! I love Jane Austen but some sentences have to be re-read to make sense. (I’m not native English)
A+
Violet!!!! :-D :-D
Have you decided yet about reading the other book also?
How luck we are that Ms. Austen does not write longwinded and convoluted sentences in the manner of Mr. Darcy's rationalistic epistolary fauxpology.
I suppose he redeems himself in the end with his meticulous explanation of the matter, written quite through, in a very close hand.
