Mr. Darcy? Yeah, right.
Alert AustenBlog Reader Sarah sent us a link to a New York Times article about the royal wedding yesterday, pointing out a particular quote:
This time around, the bride was in an elegant cream suit and broad-brimmed hat, and the groom wore the sort of smart morning suit that makes even the most unprepossessing Englishman look dashing. Suddenly, Mr. Awkward began to seem like Mr. Darcy.
You think that, Jane, if it gives you comfort.
Thanks for the link, Sarah!
P.S. We wish the Prince and the Duchess all the best, really.

I just saw that article. I thought it was a bit much too.
All the tawdriness of the Royal Family makes me ever the more grateful for that brilliant document signed and published 228 years ago.

Oh, c’mon! We have some pretty tawdry politicians, too!
Not to mention Michael Jackson.

Yes, but we can vote them out if they get too obnoxious.
But I’ll give you Michael Jackson.
