Glutting myself on Jane Austen

I liked Sense and Sensibility so much, I moved right on to Pride and Prejudice.
I liked that one even better -- dear Miss Elizabeth Bennett and proud Mr. Darcy!
Then I rented the movie versions of both books (here and here).
My spouse thinks I'm wacky, but we're having fun imitating Austen-speak:
"My dear Mr. -----, Shall we dine at the charming Thai restaurant near East Lake-enshire this evening? The particulars of their meals are quite charming."
"Why, that would be quite splendid, Mrs. -----. I should enjoy partaking the evening meal in your stimulating company. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor of traveling alongside me in my Nissan Sentra?"
