If you wanted to say something important and not waste ink, paper, or the tip of your sharpened pen or quill you really had to have your act together! It makes Darcy's letter to Elizabeth all the more meaningful somehow since he has so much to say and has to do it clearly and not mess up her impression of him with blots! Thanks for this detailed description! I have enjoyed your stories!<br />Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636218662536360015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-44767907282490903252020-02-15T13:15:48.094+01:002020-02-15T13:15:48.094+01:00I'm so pleased that all of you found this inte...I'm so pleased that all of you found this interesting. I've never used a quill myself but I'm eager to try it and see if I can manage with fewer blots than Bingley.<br /><br />Best of luck to you all in the giveaway and thank you for reading!Heather Mollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388933854675286817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-62335868095482736662020-02-14T23:17:25.306+01:002020-02-14T23:17:25.306+01:00I’ve never actually tried writing with a quill! Wh...I’ve never actually tried writing with a quill! When I started writing with ink we had dip pens. There was an ink well in the top corner of the desk and we had a wooden pen with a metal nib on the end. <br />On my 13th birthday my brother was working and he bought me a Parker fountain pen and propelling pencil set. I absolutely loved it and 55 years later I still have them.<br />I’m now wondering how Bingley’s writing problems affect Darcy and Elizabeth? Is it in a good way or does it cause them problems? Can’t wait to find out.Glynisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-79357532097407225952020-02-14T20:12:24.454+01:002020-02-14T20:12:24.454+01:00The information about quills and writing for the d...The information about quills and writing for the different characters interesting.
