Lovely edition! Ooh tricky. Definitely P&P at the top. The others all move about a bit according to which one I have most recently reread! Might make next year an Austen reread year.

This has really resonated with me! My mum - who had many health issues would probably have rated her pain lower so as not to make a fuss (even though I once saw her nearly leap out of her chair with pain once when she was touched). Whereas pain makes me panicky and I would rate it higher than most 😢
