So, today in class, we are investigating the proposal, so make sure you have revised, particularly chapters 31-34! I will be setting this week's homework which will be due next Wed, so if you're absent, please email me.

  1. Clever use of alliteration in the title Ms Borg. I am quite impressed. Also a lovely choice of layout.

    All very painful sounding, though the last point I imagine to be a dream for Mr.Collins.

    I've had pemberly.com in my favourites since I found out we were studying Pride and Prejudice! You are correct in saying some are not fit for our eyes.

    From Megan! Yay!
