I am thinking of a real person who
fits ALL of the following criteria--see how many you can fill in (use of Google
will be necessary to answer all of the numbered questions:
ONE: He was named explicitly in one
of Jane Austen’s writings-like Mr. Darcy, his first name was an English name,
his last name a French name. What was his name?
TWO: He owned a real life estate
with spectacular vistas, that inspired Jane Austen in more than one way to
create and name her most famous fictitious estate, Pemberley. What was his
estate called?
THREE: He lived in close proximity
to a real life sightseeing destination, with a name which Jane Austen used as
the basis for a similar fictitious sightseeing location associated with the
final coming together of Lizzy and Darcy. What was its name?
FOUR: He shared a hobby/skill with
Darcy (D’Arcy?) and Bingley. What was that hobby/skill?
FIVE: His relationship vis a vis
another man could be said to resemble that of Bingley vis a vis Darcy. Who was
that other man?
SIX: He, like Darcy, is known in
part for his Manners. What Manners was he known for?
I encourage you to consider these
six questions as a connected group, and to make certain deductions and
inferences about the various answers from considering them together.
Cheers,
ARNIE

I keep coming back to find out if anyone has posted an answer yet. I've chased down a dozen or so dead ends.
