Elizabeth: She is full young to be out much in company. But really, ma'am, I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters, that they not have their share of ________________ {3 words}, simply because their elder sisters have not the means or inclination to marry early.
Lady Catherine: Upon my word! You give your opinion very ________ {1 word} for so young a person.

Mr. Collins: She is unfortunately of a sickly constitution which unhappily prevents her being in town.

You may imagine, sir, how happy I am on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments which are always acceptable to ladies.
Mr. Bennet: It is fortunate for you, Mr. Collins, that you possess such an extraordinary talent for _______________ {3 words}. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?

alarmed; my courage always rises with every ________________ {3 words} me.
Mr. Darcy: I know you find _____________ {2 words} in professing opinions which are not your own.
Elizabeth: Your cousin would teach you not to believe a word I say, Colonel Fitzwilliam. That is
ungenerous of him, is it not?
Col. Fitzwilliam: It is indeed, Darcy!
Elizabeth: Impolitic, too, for it provokes me to retaliate and say somewhat of his behavior in
Hertfordshire which may shock his relations.
9
Mrs Bennet: I don't know what will become of us all, indeed I do not! And I cannot bear to think of

Ah! Now *this* is my idea of a smashing Regency game! All right, let's see how much I remember:
1. "Irretrievable", and "Undeserving"
2. "embroider cushions",;"play the instrument"
3. "society and amusement";"Decidedly"
4. "ease and politeness", "transformation"
5. "brightest ornament"; "flattering with delicacy"
6. "Obstinate, headstrong"; "pitiable"
7. "implacable"; "these questions turn"
8."attempt to intimidate"; "great pleasure"
9. "make way"; "gloomy thoughts"
10. "heavy indeed"; "concealed my struggle"
This is tougher than I expected...I *know* all of these quotes, but the specific words are hard to remember.
2.embroider cushions, play their instruments
4. ease and affability?, transformation
5. brightest light, don't know
6. most obstinate?, pitiable (LOVE that part)
7. implacable?, these questions tend
8. attempt to intimidate, great pleasure
5.
1. irretrievable... undeserving
2. embroider cushions... play their instruments (love that part!)
3. society and amusement...decidedly
4. ease and friendliness...transformation (Oh, can you not, Lizzy? We all KNOW what it was ;))
5. brightest ornament...flattering with delicacy (*snicker*)
6. Unfeeling, selfish...pitiable
7. implacable...these questions tend (always enjoyed the way she snapped out the word "implacable")
8. attempt to intimidate...great enjoyment
9. make way...gloomy thoughts
10. heavy indeed...concealed my struggles
Katrina,
Glad it pleased you! :)
On #2, the second blank was partially correct but not quite exact.
On #4, the third word on Blank 1 was incorrect (and I make the same mistake myself with that one!)
On #7, you missed the third word of Blank 2.
On #8, you missed the second word of Blank 2.
According to my calculations this will give you a score of 92 (you got all of them at least partially right, so I gave you 3 or 4 of the 5 points depending). Good job!
Katy-Anne,
On #4, the third word for Blank 1 was incorrect.
On #5, you missed the second word for blank 1.
On #6 you got one of the two words for Blank 1.
On #8, the second word for Blank 2 was incorrect.
1, 3, Blank 2 on 5, 9 and 10 were left unanswered (for the record in case you want to try at them later.)
Your score is 46 points. Thanks for playing!
Caroline L.,
Excellent! You got everything right except for Blank 1 on #6, in which you were getting confused with another line. Feel free to guess again.
Your score is 95 points. :)
(And I know what you mean about the first word in #7! ;) )
Oh! I think I know on number 6. Is it "obstinate, headstrong" girl? Lady Catherine has the quite the bevy of adjectives. Hehe.
Yay, I love quote games! =D
1. "irretrievable" and "undeserving"
2. "embroider cushions" and "play their instruments"
3. "amusement" and "decidedly"
4. "ease and friendliness" and "transformation."
5. "brightest ornament" and "flattering with delicacy"
6. Oh dear, I can't remember... is this "selfish, unfeeling" or was Lady Catherine calling her something else? The other is "pitiable" I believe.
7. "implacable" and "these questions tend"
8. "attempt to intimidate" and "great pleasure"
9. "make way" and "gloomy thoughts"
10. "heavy indeed" and "concealed my pride"
Great fun!
1.irretrievable, undesirable
2. embroider pincushions, play the pianoforte
3.???, decidedly
4. sweetness and kindness?, change
5. finest ornament or brightest jewel or some such combination! flattering with delicacy
6. Insolent girl "gel" as she puts it, uncomfortable or difficult
7. irremovable? or something like,these questions tend
8. challenge? great pleasure
9. step down or give way, despairing thoughts
10. grave indeed, sheltered? your pride
Hmmm. This looks harder than I thought it'd be...
1.irretrievable; charms?
2.sew?,draw? and play the piano
3.parties and balls
4.ease and charm; change? transformation?
5. brightest jewel; ?
6.Rude, insolent?; pitiable
7.?; these questions aim
8.?; great enjoyment
9.make way; morbid? thoughts?
10.heavy indeed;something something you

Caroline L.,
Yes! 100 points! :)
Lizzie,
On #3, you got one of the three words for Blank 1 right.
On #6; Lady Catherine does say that at one point but not during that part. If you think of it feel free to try again.
On #8, Blank 2, you were close but the second word was not quite right.
On #10, the last word on Blank 2 was incorrect.
This brings your score to 88. Good job! Thanks for playing.
Livia Rachelle,
Your guess for Blank 2 on #1 was not quite right.
On #2, you were close on both but not quite there. (I'll give partial credit.)
Your guesses on #4 were incorrect.
On #5, Blank 2 you sort of got it right but as you put two different combinations it's hard to score. If you're a little more specific you could get it right. :)
Your guesses on #6 were incorrect.
On #7, Blank 1 you had the right idea but not quite the right word. :)
On #8, your guess for Blank 1 was incorrect, Blank 2 partially correct.
Both on #9 incorrect (but partially correct).
Your guesses on #10 were incorrect.
Your current score is 36. Thanks for playing!
The Elf,
Yeah, exact quotes can be tricky! ;)
Your guess on #1, Blank 2 was incorrect.
Your guesses on #2 were incorrect (although Blank 2 was partly right).
Your guesses on #3 were incorrect.
For #4, Blank 1 was partially correct.
Ditto for #5.
Your guess for Blank 1 on #6 was incorrect.
Blank 2 on #7 was partially correct.
Your guess on #9, Blank 2 was partially correct.
You can still guess on 5--blank 2, 7--Blank 1, 8--blank 1, and 10--blank 2. (Also you can re-guess on some others.)
Your current score is 40. Thanks for playing!
On #3, you got one of the three words for Blank 1 right. - Oh, haha, I didn't even fill in the other two, did I? I was in a bit of a hurry when I did this, I should have waited.
Okay, so I think it's "amusement and society" or maybe "society" is first?
On #6; Lady Catherine does say that at one point but not during that part. If you think of it feel free to try again.
Yeah, I didn't think that was right. It's just some kind of exclamation isn't it, like "good gracious"... but I'm not struck with conviction.
On #8, Blank 2, you were close but the second word was not quite right.
Hehehe, now I don't even remember what I said. Is it "enjoyment"?
On #10, the last word on Blank 2 was incorrect.
Oh dear! This is one of my favorite parts! I used to be able to quote the whole thing, and now I have no idea what the correct word is, although I think I remember what I said the first time and it was a very silly mistake. And I'm going to feel even sillier when I find out what the answer is!
Oh well, clearly I haven't watched P&P recently enough! =D
Thanks, I enjoyed playing!
Lizzie,
Your updated score is 92! :)
