A mystery is solved

sands_on24.jpg Alert Janeite Laura solved the mystery that she wrote to us about last week: was the President’s ex-wife reading a Jane Austen novel on last week’s episode of 24? She managed to get a screencap of the book: it was the Everyman’s Library edition of Sense and Sensibility. Click on the thumbnail for a bigger version of the screencap.

    Thanks! I saw it and immediately rewound it (much to my husband’s and son’s dismay) because I was sure it was an Austen novel.

    Not sure it says much for Austen’s ability to calm and soothe one’s mind. ;-)

    Me too – rewound it much to my husband’s and son’s dismay, LOL!

    Perhaps Martha was reading Willoughby’s letter at the time?

    No Martha or Aaron on last night’s show, so no book.
