Pride and Prejudice question

[stephbg]

Husband wants to know (it's best not to ask why) if Darcy emerged dripping from a lake in the original novel of Pride and Prejudice.

That would be a BIG NO!

Seconded!!!

Although I do have a spin-off booked called "The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen" which may differ ;-)

I have the best flist.

It's quite a while since I've read the novel, but I thought the Lake scene seemed a bit saucy for the original material :-)

Just wait til you read the missing Mr Collins/Charlotte scene, it explains everything!

Not when I read it, though perhaps I tuned this part out.
Though I do remember the car chase, pistol duel, and explosive finale ...

Now that would have made it even more interesting in year 11 lit class!
