Darcy: beams for a second. Feels tears pulling up. Panics. Chain of throat clearing. Silence.
Bingley: starts talking to the baby stream of consciousness style. Yes, he knows the baby doesn't understand a word. It doesn't matter to him. They are gonna be so close!
Mr. Collins: tells the baby how fortunate it is to be born under the esteemed patronage of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Edward Ferrars: holds baby. Starts hyperventilating, too many feelings. Delicately gives back the child and power walks out of the room. Spends a full hour in the garden crying and trying to calm down.
Colonel Brandon: big smile. Sits down. Cannot take his eyes off the creature. There are tears running down his face but he makes no attempt at concealing or drying them at all.
Mr. Knightley: deep breaths. Smile. More deep breaths. He's fine. He's fine and don't you dare assume otherwise.
Mr. Elton: high fives Augusta for making the best baby in the world.
Frank Churchill: people know him too well to let him hold a baby below the age of 2. He sits by the side of the crib and tries to catch the baby's attention. He does not understand that the baby cannot do that. He loves his child anyways.
Henry Tilney: a natural at baby-holding. That's it. Everybody else go home.
Frederick Wentworth: vid. Darcy.
Edmund Bertram: stares incredulous that he and Fanny could create such a thing. Gets lost in thought. Has to be asked to give the baby back 3 times before he reacts.
"No doubt, I'm sure you have expensive taste." "Actually, I don't."
„I watch ‚All Creatures Great and Small‘ for the plot.“

When something goes missing, you can always recreate it by the hole it left.
Oscar Wilde, once said, “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
River Song, later tells the Doctor, “Oh, it’s my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on a spaceship.”
Salut D'Amour ("Love's Greeting")
I don't agree with the last sentence. The rest is in point 🤣

Anyway, last night, I... these are personal matter-- none of my business. Of course you must seek a divorce.” “They want a statement A detailed account of my entire marriage. And I just...” “Yes, it must be hard to dredge all that stuff up. ” “Well, it’s between Robert and me, no one else.” “Sometimes we have to look that monster right in the face.
