Is Lizzy a slow reader or daydreaming of Prince Charming?

No wonder medieval woman were discouraged from reading, if that was the sort of reading desk they had – look at Hermione’s poor posture! Do you think any prince will want to marry her, with that nascent hunch?She would have better prospects being locked into a tower & growing out her hair.
