“You ought to have minded me, Walter; I told you not to tease your aunt!”
We may get to see that particular scene after all! Alert Janeite Sylvia wrote to tell us that the role of little Walter Musgrove has been listed on IMDB as being played by Timothy Hallett.
A thorough Google search has revealed very little about young Timothy, but we are sure that he will perform excellently in his role. (This particular reporter must admit she is a little jealous - she certainly wouldn’t mind being picked up by Rupert Penry-Jones at all!)

Hear! Hear! Hear! Or, as my friends would put it, word! I am so excited about Persuasion that I think I won’t be able to wait until Fall 2007 to watch it. Hopefully, some generous and kind-hearted British soul will upload it. I actually read the novel for the umpteenth time this weekend and there are so many scenes I want to see in the new adaptation!

That is certainly fabulous news! I am so excited about this new movie! I have no idea how many times I have read the book or watched the Root/Hines movie. Patience, patience, patience…

I think it’s just awesome that we’re going to be getting new (and very promising-sounding) film versions of ALL Austen’s major works except P&P and Emma in practically one go! Tis enough to give anyone the shivers.

Oh that’s so great!
I love this scene in the book and it will at least be in a movie…
can’t remember if it was in the 70’s adaptation…
