One thing I've always loved about P&P95 is all the wonderful talking they do. For new devotees it will take some time to become accustomed to--it did for me, back in those days--but I always thought it sounded delightful, and the actors do a lovely job of making it seem realistic.
What do you think are some of the best-sounding quotes from Pride and Prejudice? (Or any other Jane Austen story, if you like!)

I love their language too and the P&P quote I use the most often would have to be "You must allow me to tell you..." or "It is a truth universally acknowledged..." Although I must confess that I don't quote Jane Austen that often at all. Must remedy that!

I love how they really seem like a family. I like the "It is a truth universally . . ." and "Such as I was from eight to eight and twenty; and I still might have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth!"
Yours ever,
