Interesting question. No, I don't think I'm a Mr Darcy match - he doesn't make me laugh, and that's essential!

I'd have given him too much lip. I think in the old days they called it "answering back" and in the days when women were expected to "tais toi et sois belle" I probably wouldn't have been marriage material.
