If he possibly can

I'm running horribly late today, and last night, my Tivo hiccuped and missed recording P&P the first time around.  I was inexplicably sad, feeling like I missed watching it with the sisterhood.  If you watched--especially for the first time--would love to know what you thought.

"'He is just what a young man ought to be,' said she [Jane], 'sensible, good-humored, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!--so much ease, with such perfect good breeding!'

'He is also handsome,' replied Elizabeth, 'which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can.  His character is thereby complete.'"
