Mr. Tilney on His own Perfections: The Old Spice Parody

(We're still here!)
_____________________________

I have heard much of this event, which occurred during the last JASNA AGM in Portland last October, and am so excited to be able to see it myself at last! This is for all you Mr. Henry Tilney admirers, of which I am certainly one:

"Unlike some gentlemen who refuse to dance, I love to dance." Yes!!

Jane Austen and Our Election

 ________________________________________

Since today is Election Day in the U.S. I got to wondering which of Jane's heroes would be the best candidate to vote for in an important election (such as, in California's case, for governor). What do you think?

Who would be the best candidate in an important election?
	Mr. Knightley, with his experience as a magistrate
	Capt. Wentworth, with his experience in being captain of a ship
	Mr. Darcy, in caring for such a large estate with many tenants
	Col. Brandon, in being an officer over many men
	Mr. Tilney, with his ability to think clearly, wisely and quickly
	Edmund Bertram, in taking his responsibility of leading people's souls seriously
