3.

Lydia Bennet
(Probably her most modest outfit.  Ahem.)

4.
Elizabeth Bennet

5.

7.

Charlotte Lucas

Check back Monday for a new diversion!

Game the Fifteenth: Guess That Dress

Rather self-explanatory, I believe.  Here are ten pictures of dresses from the lovely wardrobes of P&P, with the ladies' heads cropped out so as not to make this too easy.  :D Your job is to identify the character wearing each dress.  Results and a winner will be posted Saturday!

Trivia Quiz {3} - Answers

1. Finish the quote and tell who said it:  "Charlotte! Engaged to Mr. Collins! _________!"

"Charlotte! Engaged to Mr. Collins! Impossible!"
~Elizabeth Bennet

2.  Who does Mr. Bennet say would be able to "jilt Lizzy creditably"?

Mr. Wickham

3. What song do Mary and Maria Lucas perform together at the Philips' Christmas party?

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen

4.  Of what are the famous shelves in the closet "the very essence"?

Practicality and convenience.

5. What does Lizzy think must have happened when Maria freaks out about Anne de Bourgh stopping by the parsonage?

The pigs must have got into the garden.  "Is this all? I expected at least that the pigs had got into the garden! Here is nothing but Lady Catherine and her daughter."

6. How old is Lizzy?

Twenty.  "I am not one and twenty."  (This is an old-fashioned way of speaking which contains an understood "yet," meaning that Lizzy is in fact just twenty.)

7. What excuse does Lizzy give for wanting to return home after her walk with Colonel Fitzwilliam?

She has a headache.  "A sudden headache.  Perhaps I've walked too far today."

8.  What does Mr. Darcy beg most fervently in his first proposal?

"To relieve my suffering and consent to be my wife."

9.  What time is it during Mr. Darcy's first proposal?

6:17.

10.  Complete the quote and tell who said it:  "I had not known you a month before..."

"I had not known you a month before I felt you were the last man in the world whom I could ever marry!"  ~Elizabeth Bennet

And our winner is... Lizzie, with 9.5 points!  Her answers were all correct but one, and even that was half correct (#4, for she said only "practicality" and not "convenience.")

EDIT: It has come to my attention that I made a mistake in the calculation of points-- Katrina of Edelweiss Patterns also accumulated 9.5 points, so she and Lizzie tie for first place!  Sorry for the mistake, Katrina!

Thanks for playing, everyone!  Check back on Monday for a new game!

Game the Thirteenth: Trivia Quiz {3}

These trivia questions all come from the delightful third episode-- though why I am distinguishing it from the others with the word "delightful," I really could not say, for they are all worthy of that appellation.
