Am so glad you like it! It was definitely a bit of a panic-stricken stretch, but it's good to get out your comfort zone and obviously I can say that a lot easier now it's actually done, lol.
I think part of my panic was that I hadn't read the book for a long time, whereas the film is firmly in my head (possibly as a result of seeing it multiple times;)). I did remember the flannel waistcoats line, though, and love the idea of Marianne and Brandon having a gently teasing and loving relationship which builds and builds into something long-lasting for them both. I liked the idea of her realising that there was just as much romance with these kind of possibilities in front of them, and it reawakening all her enthusiasm and energy.
Good luck with the Emma/Knightley, but don't worry about it if it still induces headaches. (What you need is for them to show the film again!;)) And many thanks for the lovely comments.:D
