And what about Celia, Dorothea's sister and how Elliot always refers to her son as "the little Buddha"? Celia can't believe Dorothea will miss the little miracle's bath! I should check out that BBC miniseries....it'd be so satisfying!Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-73622211225605758792009-03-10T11:25:00.000-07:002009-03-10T11:25:00.000-07:00This discussion prompted me to order the 1994 BBC ...This discussion prompted me to order the 1994 BBC miniseries video of Middlemarch. :-)<BR/>LiziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-42096793548617370172009-03-09T18:01:00.000-07:002009-03-09T18:01:00.000-07:00I love your description!

As if I were going through that right then and there in 10th grade. Maybe I was... though my football playing boyfriend wasn't exactly Casaubon (SP?)Wildlife Girls https://www.blogger.com/profile/08869133140537922821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-84909389441353987562009-03-09T08:47:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:47:00.000-07:00Thanks, Lizi!

It was a big effort but I'm glad I made and what a reward that last sentence is....of course i could have skipped over hundreds of pages in true 21st century fashion, but it wouldn't have been the same....Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-3745518783900626142009-03-09T08:32:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:32:00.000-07:00Congratulations on finishing Middlemarch!

The first time I encountered that absolutely stunning final sentence, it practically knocked me out of my chair and I knew I'd never forget it.
