Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Nine - 9 days ago

Dum, de dum, dum, dummmmm ... well, if Elizabeth wasn't mortified before dinner, now with Mr. Bennet's comment, she probably would like the earth to open up and swallow her. I guess Heather has Mr. Bennet true to form. However, someone should put Mr. Bennet in the corner for very bad behavior. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy certainly has gotton an eyeful and earful of his possible in-laws. I am surpris

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Eight - 15 days ago

Thanks to you and your Mr. Bennet - I laughted and laughted!! Thank you for your wonderful humor - you did a terrific job with Mr. Bennet!! I really enjoyed your description of the chair Mr. Darcy was sitting in and how he sunk into it and had to lean forward to compensate for it. You peppered such great humor in that scene - fun to read!! Mrs. Bennet has the capability to mess everything up

Re: A Different Darcy - 22 days ago

Oh, I like this story's beginning!!! I also like how your Elizabeth recognizes the younger Mr. Darcy being shy. Can't wait to read more!! Laura M.

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Seven - 23 days ago

You bet, KMarie, the more questions the merrier!! And, yes, that would be much more insulting than being called "tolerable"! Laura M.

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Seven - 23 days ago

I know you will give us a HEA - but, this story could continue in so many different directions. Will Mr. Bennet help the situation or make it more difficult... Will Mrs. Bennet show up at the door behaving as usual and scare the pants off Mr. Darcy... Will Elizabeth die of mortification when she finds out how wrong she was... Will Mr. Darcy be upset that Elizabeth was acting like a half-

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Six - 30 days ago

I feel there will be some bumps in the road, (perhaps caused by Mrs. Bennet talking about Mr. Bingley's wealth?) but, when Darcy realizes that Elizabeth would marry him for himself and not for his money, he will be elated. Elizabeth is so in love with Darcy. She would not have told him how his leaving is upsetting her so, nor would she have allowed him to comfort her and she most certainly woul

Re: I am not sure my heart can stand it - 5 weeks ago

Renee, I do believe she would be happy. She is happy in his presence. She also recognizes his intellect and sense. She can see by what he has done with Netherfield to know that he is ambitious. She is falling in love with him, not just because of his appearance but, hook, line and sinker. It was only when she realized he was leaving that she began to be disappointed. Probably, just m

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Five - 5 weeks ago

You know, the interesting thing is that Elizabeth is not so disappointed that Mr. Darcy is a steward. She is disappointed that he will be leaving. Elizabeth will marry only for love, and when she realized he is leaving, she rationalizes away an attachment, (well, he is only a steward and certainly they couldn't have married anyway). QuoteTo discover that he would soon return to his home and

Re: Adventures at Morecastle, part 5 - 5 weeks ago

Suzanne, what fun this story was!! My favorite part in the chapter was when Elizabeth, feeling a little playful, decides she wanted to allure Darcy. This is so unlike her, I can just see her unpracticed expressions to Darcy, who was sitting across from her. No wonder his eyes widened!! No wonder, he told her she was driving him mad!!!! What a cute little movie your story would make!! Thank

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Four - 6 weeks ago

Gosh, this story is so entertaining!! I keep wondering if Mr. Bennet will tell Mr. Darcy, of Mr. D's mistaken idenity? I think he won't let on since Mr. Bennet enjoys other people's follies. Mr. B. would probably rather just sit back to see what happens. I am second guessing here because I am already anxious for the next installment of your wonderful story!! Feel free to post early, if you'

Re: Adventures at Morecastle, Part 4 - 6 weeks ago

I loved the title of this chapter: "Animals, Wild and Domestic", it was the perfect title between the animals, who were tame compared to the domestic kind, like Caroline Bingley and the dude that tried to attack Elizabeth! I know earlier Darcy was angry with Caroline, but I wish he had "dealt" with Caroline better than just glaring at her! She keeps insulting the woman he loves. I will not be

Re: A Lesson in the Theatre, Chapters 11-12 - 6 weeks ago

This story, so draws me in. I believe we all have a vulnerable part in us, just like Anne. I appreciate that you have her suspecious, especially, when she needs to be, but still vulnerable. It seems her new friends are all that they appear to be. I hope so. You see, you have drawn me into this story!! Well done, Laura M.

Wonderful story - thank you for sharing with us. As much as I was looking forward to the chapter being posted - I wasn't ready for the story to end! Love your writing - I look forward to your next story!!!!! Laura M.

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Three - 7 weeks ago

Oh, the Mr. Bennet and Mr. Darcy meeting ... finally, someone will know who Darcy really is - but, will Mr. B share this info? This is too much fun! I love the twists in this story. Unlike in the original, both, Darcy and Elizabeth are developing an interest in each other. At this point, Darcy would not insult Elizabeth. And, Elizabeth hasn't developed any prejudices against him. It will be

Re: Adventures at Morecastle, Part 2 - 7 weeks ago

Oh what a wonderful chapter!! So very entertaining - makes me want to read it again! (and I will!) The more their adventure began falling apart - the better our two main characters behaved with each other. Poor Lizzy, though, bruises will take a while to fade. But, what will the Gardiners have to say about their "adventure"?

Re: Adventures at Morecastle, Part 1 - 7 weeks ago

I loved in the beginning, they were so shocked to see one other - their exchange was hilarious!! Honestly, Elizabeth was getting so upset with Darcy, I truly thought she would have reach down and splash him with water just to wake him up to reality or that she would stand up in the boat - and Mr. Darcy become unglued and order her to sit. Did you at any point consider anyone of them ending up

Re: Snowbound - Part 4 - 8 weeks ago

Perfect, Elizabeth .... one way to Mr. Darcy's heart is to ask him about Pemberley!! This was a wonderful update - so much was resolved. And the kiss!! - Elizabeth is not sure if she feels love for Darcy yet - but, she didn't want him to stop kissing her!!! Great chapter!! Laura M.

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Two - 8 weeks ago

Oh, the ways this story could go!! Elizabeth is definitely interested in him. Will everyone at the Assembly not pay him any attention because they think he is a steward? Mr. Darcy would not be hearing Mrs. Bennet go on and on about his 10,000 pounds!! Certainly his reception at the Assembly would be different, and I would imagine quite refreshing for Mr. D (even if he didn't understand). E

Re: Snowbound - Part 3 - 2 months ago

Oh, I love this story and I love your writing! These two are so very stubborn - your Mr. Darcy knew that taking Elizabeth's chamber pot out was the "icing on the cake" - she was mad and he knew it (I love how he insisted, in no uncertain terms!) - that exchange was so fun - however, after that it was so sad. Neither are at their best. But, Mr. Darcy tried to be amiable, to kind of make up for

Re: Snowbound - Part 2 - 2 months ago

I am sorry, but, this is a Fun read! (“Jane,” she complained sleepily, “please stay on your own side of the bed.") I love their uncomfortableness, their banter, and their wit. They do have to do what they can to stay alive, but, in the long run, they are compromised and eventually, I would imagine they will begin to think upon that fact. Only negative thought is, I hate waiting a week to r

I was delighted to see your update - this was wonderful - I loved the bantor between Darcy and Elizabeth. "Whatever shall I to do with you" - oh, my what a comment for Darcy to say!!

Re: Astonished Derbyshire, Part 2--Chs 1&2 - 3 months ago

Oh, no, not what I had expected!! I am in a quandry as to how this will end. Is Darcy struggling with his feelings? Or, has he made a decision that Elizabeth is simply too beneath him? I do have to say though, don't you just love Bingley's character - his faults are few and his love for Jane is perfect - to accept everything that has happened and still return, marry Jane and give his support
