Dear Lea,
this week i am reading Pride and Prejudice and wishing there were more men in the world who were similar to our dear Mr. Darcy. i can't beleive chivalry has truly been forgotten. if you really look at it, there is some, but there is no man who is completely chivalrous as in the days of Jane Austen. i miss chivalry, even though i've never truly seen it. men holding doors open, being obliged to dance with many women at a dance, and even simply the subtle flirting which was once an art, and which is now taken advantage of and over shot with perverseness. to think that once a woman could know if she loved someone in a month. its sad to think that now a woman and a man have to repeatedly prove themselves for years at a time before they can be found 'worthy' of marriage. and even then, divorce is so common that barely anyone makes it to the gray hair and wrinkles. sigh. i want that so badly.
Love and sighs,
PS Hathaway
