Latest Quartet, in Which Aileen Has Us All Stumped:

Pride and Prejudice
Emma
Sense and Sensibility
Mansfield Park

What do these Jane Austen novels have in common?




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/4/2008 7:42:06 PM)

Were they the four novels published during her lifetime?




Aileen1968 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/4/2008 8:59:17 PM)

Probably, but not the answer.
Heh heh.  I thought this was an easy one.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/4/2008 9:01:26 PM)

Were you going for the fact that they're her first four novels?




nohalo -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/4/2008 11:42:36 PM)

I can't believe she's let us struggle with this...

Come on, Aileen.

Come on, Aileen.

Poor old Johnny Ray, sounded sad upon the radio;
Broke a million hearts in mono.
Oh our mothers cried, sang along, who can blame them?

You've grown (You're grown up)
So grown. (So grown up.)
Now I must say more than ever.

(Come on, Aileen.)
Toora, loora, toora loorye aye.
We gonna sing just like a boulder.

Come on, Aileen,
Oh I swear (well he means) at this moment
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
my thoughts, I confess,
verge on dirty.
Ah, Come on Aileen.

Come On, Aileen.

These people round here
they've been down with sunken, smoke-dried faces
So resentful what their fate is,
But not us (no never),
no, not us (no never),
we are far too young and clever.

(Remember)

Toora, loora, toora, loorye, aye.
I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on, Aileen,
Oh I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's
take off everything,
that pretty red dress, Aileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on, Aileen,
Pleassse …

Come On, Aileen, Tooloorye aye
Come On, Aileen, Tooloorye, aye, toora.

Now you're all grown (toora), Now you (toora) have shown (toora),
Oh! Aileen.
Said, you've (You) grown (toora) (it's strange that our feelings have grown),
so grown (toora) (about how you feel)!

Now (toora) I (toora) must (toora) say (toora) more (toora) than ever,
things round here will change.

I said, Toora (toora), loora, toora (toora), loorye (toora), aye (toora, toora, toora).

Come on, Aileen,
oh I swear (well he means) at this moment.
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
my thoughts (I confess)
verge on the dirty.

Ah, come on, Aileen.

Come on, Aileen,
oh I swear (well he means) at this moment.
You mean ev'rything.
You in that dress,
Oh, my thoughts (I confess)
verge on the dirty.

Come on, Aileen,
oh, ho, ho, (well he means) oh, ho, ho ...

Maybe Aileen was looking for that all four were written before Austen was thirty?  Or that all four were made into movies?  Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were made for tv movies, but I don't think they ever hit the big screen.

They're all Jane Austen characters?




acissej -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 1:29:34 PM)

Er, no.  You're silly, dc.      




Raechard -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 1:34:05 PM)

Mr Google says they all attended private schools?

I would have said they were all presidents of something at some point?

I was going for something a little more specific than that, but you're on the right track.




Raechard -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 1:48:26 PM)

They all went to Choate Rosemary Hall, Wallingford, CT private school?




acissej -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 1:51:45 PM)

Correct!  Your turn, Raechard.

Professor R.W. Bunsen
Marquis de Sade

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 3:28:13 PM)

Did they all have something named after them?

Bunsen burner
Wellington boots
Sadism
Mansard roofs?




Raechard -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 3:37:39 PM)

Correct you are dc.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/5/2008 3:40:56 PM)

Cool! Did it without Google, I can't help saying.
