Re: Double Trouble Part 9 - 3 days ago
Poor dear Felicity! It was quite unfortunate that she was overconfident in her ability to tell the twins apart... or was it that she so much wished to see Andrew that she didn't think of the possibility of meeting the "wrong" twin? I feel it is a sign of her growing maturity that she realizes her first feelings of outrage were unjustified. I hope there will be a chance to clear this misunderstandby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: The Brighton Effect - Chapter Thirteen - 6 days ago
Just lovely, although Kitty has suffered the fate of eavesdroppers, although it wasn't intentional, poor dear. All this speculation surrounding Kitty, I can understand Ash to some extent to use his brother to avoid attention. Thank you!by Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Double Trouble Part 8 - 8 days ago
Well, I am glad I was wrong about Gilly, in fact, he is more clearsighted than I had thought him. But I am sorry Felicity dissembled so determinedly about her feelings for Andrew... although I certainly understand her need for privacy and the fact that Albert and Andrew are twins being so very confusing. I hope Felicity's plans to show her feelings for Andrew will be successful (I am actually ratby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: Double Trouble Part 7 - 10 days ago
Now, what was I thinking, to ask for loads of trouble?! Now that it starts I have to worry for poor Felicity and Andrew. Whatever could silly Gilly have told Andrew to cause this? Hopefully not anything to the effect that Felicity prefers his brother?! I can just see this happening, unfortunately! Will she be able to find out how he put his foot in the mouth?! Sorry but I can't help but blame himby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: Marry in Haste - Chapter 22 - 11 days ago
I'm so glad to see a new chapter of this story! I missed it very much. I like it how Sarah was so well liked by her dance partners, and how she liked her husband best, and how she admired his fighting skills... and how worried he is about Reggie, while she only has eyes for him. More please!by Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Raising expectations - 16 days ago
I think raising expectations wasn't quite a yes-or-no, black-or-white kind of thing. What constituted raising expectations varied somewhat with the circle of society one moved in - the same amount of flirting may have had different siginificance among the ton or in the confined neighbourhood of Meryton. And may also have varied between personalities. Darcy believed his meetings with Elizabeth inby Agnes Beatrix - Tea Room
Re: Double Trouble Part 4 - 21 days ago
Well, I can't presume to know Felicity's character very well yet (in the prequel story she was rather more of a plot device and her true character only started to shine in this one) but it appears Sir Albert and she could be each other's match quite well, their characters complement each other. That is, if he can learn not to play tricks when they could cause real damage - in spite of her admonitby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: Double Trouble Part 3 - 24 days ago
Wow, there's potential trouble in heaps, just as I would have wished :) Albert is wicked. I went back to read the previous chapter so I could interpret their conversation in a new light and for a fist meeting, he was quite forward. The flirtatious comments about kissing... Poor Felicity, to discover she had been played with! Now, I wonder, did Sir Albert know about the meeting between Felicityby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: The Right to Interfere in His Happiness - 25 days ago
This is sweet! I'm so glad to see another story from you! Captain Wentworth is really good at confronting his adversary, spotting her weaknesses. But I admire him especially for recognizing his fault in their estrangement so early - and apologize for his anger. Once he got over his anger, he could see that Anne did love him, and seize his chance at a reconciliation.by Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: The Pemberley Effect - Part Two - 27 days ago
I withhold opinion on Freddie for now... He sounds a somewhat silly young man, but I can imagine Ash to be infuriating towards a younger brother, too. I loved the fact that Ash invited himself, and that he so obviously supported Kitty and her sister. LOL that Darcy who I am sure had his wishes catered to by so many people around him thought Ash even more capable of pulling everyone's strings to hby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: The Brighton Effect - Chapter Ten - 28 days ago
Well, I hope Lord Ashbourne may surprise Darcy by not forgetting his promise to join them at Netherfield after all... And I can't wait to be introduced to an unknown Fitzwilliam brother. Is he going to take a fancy to another Bennet sister? I am sorry to hear you are ill, hope you will get better soon! LOL to hear how Bingley thinks his sisters' arrival will provide pleaasant conversation! I agrby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Double Trouble Part 2 - 29 days ago
This is very sweet and suspiciously devoid of trouble for now - who knows what you have up your sleeve? Instead of steering her away from trouble I look forward to the chapter where you land a big heap of trouble on her- provided you still promise a happy ending hopefully with the very nice Sir Albert. Thanks for the promised regular postings!by Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: ANI Lady Elisabeth by Suzanne O - 30 days ago
Thanks for the update - I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this story, too! I hope you will find the inspiration you need!by Agnes Beatrix - Tea Room
Re: Double Trouble Part 1 - 4 weeks ago
I am so glad you are posting a new story, so I have something to look forward to on this board... I thought I would miss your frequent postings. Lovely beginning, although Lady Cynthia's family are more fun than sensible. Let the fun with Felicity's new conquest begin!by Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Six - 5 weeks ago
How cruel of you to just stop here! Amazing how the misunderstanding can continue even with Mr. Bennet's intention to help Elizabeth and not to secretly laugh at her. At least they are pretty clear about their feelings (I hope there will be no misunderstanding about the kiss) but a clarification of intentions is quite in order now! Excellent chapter!by Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: The Perfect Match Part 27 - 5 weeks ago
Well, I thought Lord Rupert realized much earlier that he loved her and wanted to marry her than he admits to it... it seems he was sincere about their bargain in the beginning after all. Amelia was very irresponsible and silly - I am glad she had such a devoted protector paying attention to her whereabouts. What if he had been late - or if he did not have the good sense of deflecting that rake'by Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: The Brighton Effect Chapters 7 & 8 - 5 weeks ago
I don't think I blame Kitty, and I am glad she comes through in this chapter so much more mature. Col Forster has still no discernment (and doesn't want to take the blame so doesn't examine the situation) not to see the difference in the two girls. I am glad Mr. Bennet sees Kitty's new attitude although he is his usual cruelly joking self as he mocks her. The Mary/Kitty relationship is also a gooby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Congratulations! Babies are such joy! Best wishes for all the family!by Agnes Beatrix - Tea Room
Re: A Lesson in the Theatre, Chapters 11-12 - 6 weeks ago
I just caught up with this very interesting story. I always like stories that center on P&P secondary characters as heroes/heroines. Your Anne is very believable and has made excellent progress towards living a full life. I wonder about this tendency of hers of separating her society persona from herself - I understand this is a coping strategy for her, but will it not backfire in the end? Caby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: The Perfect Match Part 25 - 6 weeks ago
Lord Rupert is still too sure of himself , but he has reason to be optimistic. Amelia confides in him about her love life, refused her suitor (and he doesn't even know of Gilbert), showed signs of jealousy, admitted (unwittingly) her attraction to him, and most of all, begins to realize the value of their friendship (?) - all clear signs of her feelings, although she is still unaware of them. Gooby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: Adventures at Morecastle, part 5 - 6 weeks ago
This was again a wonderful story, so real descriptions and characters, and so much fun! I just knew something is bound to go awry with this outing as well. Caroline was exceedingly stupid to imagine that everyone's sentences in the game would build a story that would gratify her imagined relationship with Darcy. Since everyone's mind was occupied with love/courtship/marriage the resulting story wby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: The Perfect Match Part 24 - 6 weeks ago
Felicity is very useful for turning Amelia's thoughts towards Lord Rupert, but she is a horribly superficial and selfish creature.I am glad Amelia is more mature about respecting the feelings of rejected suitors. However, she should not confide in Felicity given her friend's shallowness. I even worry about her knowledge of the key and clandestine meetings... she could cause a lot of harm if she lby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Mr. Bennet warning Elizabeth about Wickham - 7 weeks ago
I know the words may be interpreted as this, but I rather think all Mr Bennet says here is proof of how little he sees about the true significance of everything around him. I don't think Elizabeth was competitive with Jane, never once in the novel, she might justifiedly be hurt by such a comment. And why does Mr. Bennet think necessary to warn his most sensible daughter about Wickham if he doesn'by Agnes Beatrix - Tea Room
Re: The Perfect Match Part 23 - 7 weeks ago
Of course I am very glad that Amelia refused Sir Peter, but I am somewhat confused - I do not see how this has come about. After all we saw of her feelings and musings, there was no indication that she understood he was not the man for her, or she was not the one for him. Was it just that it happened and did not give her the feeling she expected from it? I find it unexpected that Sir Peter did sby Agnes Beatrix - A Novel Idea
Re: Of Masks and Men - Chapter Fifteen - End - 7 weeks ago
What a dramatic and tragic ending. I am very sorry for Georgiana's death. She was rather bitter and harsh but I so hoped she might be healed, when I realized she wasn't really dead. I guess she was so full of despair she didn't want it. Even though she shot the enemy in cold blood, it is not really murder, rather killing in battle, so I don't think she should feel overly guilty about it. Poor Batby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Of Masks and Men - Chapter Fourteen - 7 weeks ago
This was quite a dramatic reveal scene! And I'm so glad I guessed right about the Colonel - although I was completely thrown off scent about Georgiana. And I would never have guessed the twist about the Colonel and Wickham. That was a masterful one. I guess this means she wasn't really dead only she felt her soul was. This is better than some sort of walking undead person, definitely. I agree aboby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Adventures at Morecastle, Part 3 - 7 weeks ago
Another wonderful instalment, thank you! I loved how both Elizabeth and Darcy felt responsibility to take care of the poor boy's situation. Also Darcy's realisation that his silent visits did no good by way of the courtship, and how different it was when they really conversed. The way Elizabeth's feelings changed was very well described, I especially liked when she didn't want to be seen as an exby Agnes Beatrix - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
