The cooks back in those days would’ve had to have a lot of advance warning, if they were expected to produce a cake! Or, maybe they made enough so they would always be at hand. Either way, it would not have been fast!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072003146927970338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691745257761485017.post-52897004921402049942020-08-08T10:48:55.082-07:002020-08-08T10:48:55.082-07:00In his botched (first) marriage proposal, Darcy sh...In his botched (first) marriage proposal, Darcy should have at least acknowledged Miss Bennet's domestic skills, which he would have depended on to make a real home. The Party at Pemberly could be seen as a foreshadowing of life to come. But, watching Colin Firth as Darcy offering an insulting proposal in the movie was more impressive to see than to read Jane Austen's after-the-fact accounting in Pride and Prejudice. I think it's the expressions of the interaction between Elizabeth and Darcy that comes alive in the film. <br /><br />Darcy falling over himself, trying to convince himself that he should not be in love with Elizabeth and how much beneath him it would be to make a marriage with her is almost comical. The man has no game at all!Tom Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140018740919437666noreply@blogger.com
