“[A]s for Mr. Hurst, by whom Elizabeth sat, he was an indolent man, who lived only to eat, drink, and play at cards.”
– Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Our own dear Aunt Phillips (Diane Gorham) again hosted 14 of us at her lovely home for an evening of good food, lively conversation, and spirited competition as we enjoyed board and card games. No one was seen to be indolent at all!
