Though I have read most of the Austen books - I admit I am terrible at remembering which character said what. Oh my goodness... it was fun, however... to read these clever quotes and learn which characters said them.
I enjoy these "little diversions"! (Mrs Elton - Emma)
Great quiz! 21 out of 30 grrrr! Reading Emma now, thought someone else in that book said #5. Glad Adm Croft made the quiz and I got that one right!
