Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Each episode, I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along.

It's like an audiobook with built-in notes. So brew a pot of tea,

find a cozy chair, and settle of season two of story time for grownups.

We're reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen with a few notes along the way.

Today we're going to be reading chapters 15 and 16. And I'm thrilled to be here with you reading this book together. Thank you,

as always, for all of your wonderful emails, all your great questions, all your interesting comments.

I've been so enjoying them. And this book is so filled with things that we

need to unpack and all of these kind of social customs and this world of etiquette that we just

don't belong to anymore. And you guys are picking up on exactly the kinds of things that we need to

talk about. We've got a great comment today to go through, and I'm excited

for that kind of deep dive. It's a little bit more of a kind of character question. I think it's time

we got to one of those. So we're going to do that today. Thank you also, as always, to everyone who

has subscribed, who has tapped the five stars, left positive reviews, told friends,

all kinds of people have been writing in to tell me who they like to listen with, who they've

shared this with. And I love the way that this community just keeps on growing and growing,

and the ways that it branches out into real life and makes other little communities out there

in the world. So thank you

and thank you for sharing all of those things with me. Thank you again, as always for your financial

support. Thank you for clicking that link and buying me a tea or just contributing because you're
