Miss Bingley: I believe I can guess your thoughts at this moment.
Mr. Darcy: I should imagine not.
Miss Bingley: You are thinking how insupportable it would be to spend many evenings in such tedious
company.
Mr. Darcy: No, indeed, my mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great
pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow.
Miss Bingley: And may one dare ask whose the eyes that inspired these reflections?
Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth Bennet's.
Miss Bingley: Miss Elizabeth Bennet? ...I am all astonishment!
~Episode Two
This game, inspired by one that Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charm hosted a while back, will test your expertise in the area of eyes. Below, you will find ten screencaps from the film... and they're all eyes. Your job is to identify the P&P95 character possessing each pair of eyes. Leave your answers in a comment--whoever gives the most correct answers will be declared the winner! The game will last until Friday, December 7th. Winners will be announced Saturday, December 8th.
(My apologies for the low quality of some of the pictures--I was cropping tiny bits and blowing them up much larger!)

Livia Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteYou have 6 points! The ones you missed were 4, 5, 7 and 8.
Dee,
Congratulations, you have 9 points! The only one you missed was #8.
Emily,
You have five points-- and congratulations on getting the name right for #8! The ones you missed were 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
I SHALL conquer this. I SHALL.
ReplyDeleteI must. :P
Yep, the non-guess on 5 was intentional. But it MMTO Kitty, so I'll just say that. :P But I am not at all convinced.
Very stupid answer I said on 7. But I do not know who it is. :P
2. Mrs. Gardiner? That was actually my first guess... my other one was stupid too. :P
Are any of these more obscure characters, by any chance?
#8 - Lizzy?
ReplyDelete(this is my second attempt)
Dee
I put in a second attempt on #8 saying it was Lizzy but I want to change my guess and say that it is Sara, the maid doing Lizzy's hair before the ball. :-)

#2: Aunt Gardiner
#3: Mr. Bennet
#4: Maria Lucas?
#5: Mr. Bingley
#6: Lydia Bennet
#7: Kitty Bennet?
#8: Caroline Bingley

Ma cherie Melodie,
ReplyDelete:P (yes, I only called you that to annoooooooy you)
Your new answers on 5 and 2 are correct, so you now have 7 points. And yes, I'm afraid these characters DO tend to be more obscure-- I was afraid if I used just main characters 'twould be too easy, but I see I was mistooken. :P
Dee,
Your third guess on 8 is correct, bringing you to the full 10 points! Congratulations!
BatZion,
You have 4 points. The ones you missed were 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Try again as many times as you like (until Friday)!
Here my re-attempts at guessing these fine eyes... :)
ReplyDelete#3: Uncle Gardiner
#4: Charlotte Lucas
#7: Kitty Bennet
#8: Lizzy Bennet
L'Ami,
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly does 'cherie' mean, anyway? I am always too lazy to look it up. :P
Obscure... obscure... #4 isn't Hill the housekeeper, by any chance, is it?
BatZion,
ReplyDeleteYour guess for #3 was correct, so you now have 5 points! Unfortunately your guesses for 4, 7 and 8 are still incorrect.
L'Melodi,
It's French for "dear." :D And yes, your guess for #4 is correct, which brings you to 8 points!
Last guess:
