Janely bits and bobs from around the Interwebs:

- PD James on crime, Jane, boobs, and death. Not necessarily in that order. Via the Guardian.

- Vic is reading Sense and Sensibility in two varieties of Portuguese—as you do—and wonders: What’s a huswife?

- Take that, auctioneers! A ring once owned by Jane sells for over five times the asking price.Via the Telegraph.

- TIME calls the new Jane-themed Facebook game, Jane Austen’s Rogues and Romance, the Mr. Collins of online games. Ouch.

- Want a professional to tell you the story of Emma in the comfort of your very own home? No, not that guy. The Beeb (Radio Edition) has just kicked off a new dramatization; you can catch the first episode if you’re quick, and the second if you’re slow.

Enjoy!
