#JaneAusten

Bath
I always think of #JaneAusten when I think of #Bath . Even if it was not her happy place, it certainly gave her plenty of wonderful inspiration for her novels, helping her gain insight into the Regency society she depicted with wit and satire.

This quote from Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South has been on my mind a lot of late. It feels particularly poignant to me.
Is there a quote from her works that speaks to you? Either now, in the past, or generally?

#ElizabethGaskell #NorthandSouth

That's chapter 1 of 2 of my new #NorthandSouth story from #TheThorntonTales now online.

'And so, it was for this reason, that Margaret knew what she must do. It was time she braved and bridged the gap between mistress and maid.'

A little look at the fictional Milton from #NorthandSouth in connection to reality and its relevance to #ElizabethGaskell who mentioned this:'strident, harsh, unforgiving beast that is the industrial north.'

Another lovely example of #NorthandSouth fan art by LD_art depicting #JohnThornton and #MargaretHale (Thornton), with their first baby. 😍🥰

This is one of many quotes I wish they'd kept in the 2004 series of North and South. Give us an example of a quote from Elizabeth Gaskell's novel that you wish had made it into the series.

Come on, John! 🙄 She's worth at least £10! 🙈 I mean, I know you're facing financial difficulties with the mill and all, but this is just bad bartering. It's making you look like an incompetent businessman. Honestly, man, you're embarrassing yourself.
Cheapskate!
