Mrs. Readsalot Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Since we are having fun with all things Austen, I found this quiz and thought many boardies would like it. Sigh...yes girls I did get Mr. Darcy. http://www.quizilla.com/users/eriu3/quizzes/What%20Jane%20Austen%20gentleman%20is%20for%20you%3F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerie in Chicago Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I got Col Brandon! Doesn't surprise me.... Thanks for a few minutes of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill- OK Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 LOL...I told myself before I even took it; "I'm betting it turns out to be Mr. Knightley." And I was right. :-) I know you're supposed to love Mr. Darcy best, if you're a WTM lady...but Mr. Knightley reminds me too much of the leading man in my life.

SnowWhite Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Mr. Knightley. Very appropriate as he's my leading man of fancy at the moment.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra314 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My results which I am most pleased with.. :001_smile: Mr. Knightley. Emma's George Knightley is kind and thoughtful, but not above telling you something was "badly done" when you get a bit above yourself. He started off just being a compassionate friend, but in time you'll realize you're in love with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hooray! I got Mr. Darcy and I really kept it real this time. (but I like that guy before Colin Powell, the one that PBS ran around 1980/81). And for those who haven't done the romantic heroine one (not many did), here's the link--see if you match like I did! http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Is there a quiz for "What JA gentleman are you?" ;) No, but there ought to be. I thought of you men when I posted the Jane Austen Romantic Heroine link, but, alas, had no idea. I found that one via a blog I rarely visit.

jacqui in mo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Psst! I think you mean Colin FIRTH, not Powell.

jacqui in mo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I don't need no stink'n quiz! Mr. Darcy, of course! Why, he has TEN THOUSAND A YEAR! (said in Mrs. Bennett voice). And after seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberly, one truly knows you're in love. :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virginia Dawn Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Edward Ferrar, even though I was hoping for Colonel Brandon. I knew I was giving the wrong answers for CB but I tried to be honest. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen_and_Company Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Mr. Darcy. Pride and Prejudice's FitzWilliam Darcy is aloof, but he feels deeply. If he loves you, he's made up his mind for good, though you may not have noticed that that's how he feels. He is, of course, rather too convinced of his own worth and tends towards snobbery, but he has a good heart and will marry you despite what his relations might think. Take this quiz! Hmmm, he's actually not my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, I'm really good with names--really good at mixing them up! It did look a bit funny, but I can't even remember the name of the actor I liked better because back then I didn't even pay attention to that.

Oakblossoms Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Mr. Ferrars. Sense and Sensibility's Edward Ferrars is soft spoken, but he is firm in his decisions and will always make good on his promises, even if he's changed his mind. His good nature might lead him into the wrong situations sometimes, but he's not as naive as you might think. And a perfect fit I might say! If my husband was anyone that would be him!
