glimpses of kindred spirithood

Moody, guilty-pleasure pursuer. Time-traveling and unabashedly opinionated book lover. Alternate reality inhabitant for life. Allergic to realism. A heart-sleeved, candle-lit rainy dinner romantic. Unapologetically snooty people-person. Ridiculously naive, permanent twelve-year-old with variable musical tastes. Incurable chocolate addict, with a penchant for movies that induce tears.

Which Jane Austen Gentleman is for you?

Mr Knightley
