Watching the 1995 P&P mini series, and the Frenchman is so invested.

Darcy just gave his first proposal, Lizzy rejected it, episode ends, and he looks at me in horror. 😱 "What now?" he asks. "How can they come back from this?"

You'll have to see, babe. You'll have to see.
Omg, we're brushing our teeth and he just pauses mid-brush and goes, "Poor Jane."

😂😂😂 I can't
All day, he has been saying, "Make haste! Make haste!"

To me, to the dogs, to the cats. "Make haste!"

This is new to his English vocabulary, and clearly he loves it.
Engrossed.
A commercial break came (Hulu 🙄) and he ran to put up the ice cream.

Then came rushing back. "What did I miss?" *flings self onto couch*
I am not making this up. He's more invested than I've ever seen. 😂

THE POWER OF AUSTEN!!!
Ah, Lizzy and Darcy just gazed at each other while Georgiana played, and Frenchman turns to me and goes, "There it is. That's the look. There it is!" 😍
We were just outside taking our dogs for their last walk, and he suddenly breaks the silence with a forlorn, "Oh, Lydia, what have you done."

Who is this man
We finished tonight. And now, an hour later while he's doing his nightly stretches, he suddenly goes, "Lizzy and Darcy are married."

Pause.

"And they're so happy."

Pause.

"Make haste, make haste!"
We have agreed to watch the 2005 movie next, so he can compare and decide which he prefers.

Then Persuasion after that. What a delight to discover he can appreciate Austen as much as I do.

The end. 🥰
