Re: The Most Interesting Man in the World Part V (conclusion) - 25 days ago
Lovely story! I greatly enjoyed it. Thanks! This I thought so very funny: QuoteBingley looked over at Darcy and noticed that he was still gazing off into space with a besotted smile on his face. He wondered whether that was how he, Bingley, often appeared to others. Probably not. He hid his little flights of fancy rather well, he thought.by Karen A - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Kate Atkinson - 2 years ago
Recently I discovered, through JA, the books of Kate Atkinson. I was looking for a book of the Watsons and bought one with an introduction written by Kate Atkinson.

I've read the book some time ago, and I must say, I cannot really remember how it ended. So I'll have to agree with you, the ending wasn't all that magnificent (at least, it didn't make an impression).
