Question
While debating how long they have been engaging in this activity, a woman tells an aspiring clergyman, “Oh! Do not attack me with your watch.” A character’s love of this activity, which her rivals attribute to “conceited independence, a most country-town indifference to decorum,” is analyzed in a nonfiction book in a chapter titled for that character’s petticoat. A writer’s disregard of the Napoleonic wars is contrasted with her acceptance of the “cult of landscape” in a book on the “history of” this activity by Rebecca (*) Solnit. Miss Hurst cattily says Elizabeth, “has nothing, in short, to recommend her but” her excellence at this activity, which Darcy says has “brightened” her “fine eyes” when she does it after Jane suddenly falls ill. For 10 points, Marianne is caught by a rainstorm while doing what activity favored by Jane Austen’s more free-spirited “genteel country ladies,” the subject of Solnit’s Wanderlust? ■END■
