Now driving in a wild frieze of headlong horses with eyes walled and teeth cropped and naked riders with clusters of arrows clenched in their jaws and their shields winking in the dust and up the far side of the ruined ranks in a piping of bone flutes and dropping down off the sides of their mounts with one heel hung in the withers strap and their short bows flexing beneath the outstretched necks of the ponies until they had circled the company and cut their ranks in two and then rising up again like funhouse figures, some with nightmare faces painted on their breasts, riding down the unhorsed Saxons and spearing and clubbing them and leaping from their mounts with knives and running about on the ground with a peculiar bandylegged trot like creatures driven to alien forms of locomotion and stripping the clothes from the dead and seizing them up by the hair and passing their blades about the skulls of the living and the dead alike and snatching aloft the bloody wigs and hacking and chopping at the naked bodies, ripping off limbs, heads, gutting the strange white torsos and holding up great handfuls of viscera, genitals, some of the savages so slathered up with gore they might have rolled in it like dogs and some who fell upon the dying and sodomized them with loud cries to their fellows:omg

totally didn't see it coming man
I thought it was pretty weak, actually. I haven't read the book since like 9th grade, so I can't remember everything, but from what I remember, she thought Darcy was a huge douchebag throughout the book until she visited his estate somewhere in the hills, and which point she fell in love with him. That made her come off as pretty damn shallow and materialistic, IMO. But then again, I didn't think Darcy was actually that big a douchebag. If I remember correctly, the whole reason they didn't like him at first was because he didn't want to dance at a party. There are tons of guys out there who don't like dancing; he's not special.
I should re-read the book to see if some of that stuff is intentional and ironic.

i was thinking more of the very last chapter when it suddenly gets all religious and imperialist and stuff.

There are better sentences in that book, PD. :-*
And Jane Austen has some of the best turns of phrases in the english language. You don't have to like her books, but if you don't appreciate her prose you're a fucking idiot.
