I'm finally reading a Jane Austen book I should have read a long time ago, being a fan of Austen, and considering that this masterpiece literally has my name on it. (That last is an easy riddle, or what Austen would call a "charade".) If you need more hinting, Alicia Silverstone once my namesake played in a nineties film spinoff.
As is wont to happen, my brain is Austenified. My g-chat with Crim yesterday:
me Did you bicycle to work, or arrive by some other conveyance? Perhaps the autobus was selected, due to the heat, which has been unaccountable as well as uncomfortable.
Crim yeah took the bus
me Ah, a fortuitous development! as it increases the odds of my scheme, which seemed woefully long previous to this news.
Crim ?
me Should you have bicycled, I'd have feared my plan unattainable. Now its chances are revived, and likewise are my spirits.
Crim how long til you finish this fucking book
me This proposal, forthcoming in a moment, developed from my awareness of the frightful want in our larder. We shall be utterly without sustenance this evening if nothing is done.
Crim ...
me Briefly, then, I thought we ought visit Joe, the Trader. For supplies, naturally. My mind caught upon the notion that I could bring the carriage round to your place of employ--only if such a plan is agreeable to you of course--your disagreeableness to it cancelling any such possibility at once--and carry us both to his shop. My finances I do believe can bear the expense.
Crim yeah we can do tj's
c ya
