Next you must show us a pic of you wearing it! Good job, Shem! I would be hard pressed to sew a handkerchief. I truly appreciate what others can do in the seamstress department. ;)by Teg - Tea Room

While the subject matter is very serious, we feel that he has handled it respectfully and any concerns of ours were addressed.by Teg - Tea Room

No need to interfere. I'm sure Julia will be paranoid enough to consider this woman might be one of the death squad if not ED herself. :) Interesting developments on the personal front. A widower, eh? With a prying, insistent MiL. Heh!by Teg - A Novel Idea

Yep. Sergio was really getting into this playacting! I laughed when he asked if she was an alien. :D I agree. Give her a fake letter and send her on her way. See if she comes back a second time when she hears that the letter is still out there somewhere. lolby Teg - A Novel Idea

Sergio's quick lesson - 7 months ago
... on internet lingo. lol Of course the notepad this lady pulled from her bag would have a P&P theme, would it not? Maybe the paper itself is watermarked with a pretty image of Lyme Park ...um ...Pemberley. Those women must not have husbands or significant male friends if they didn't know that some men consider Jennifer Ehle to be hot. :)by Teg - A Novel Idea

Here's a few to choose from. :) "If you mean Darcy," cried her brother, "he may go to bed, if he chuses, before it begins -- but as for the ball, it is quite a settled thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough, I shall send round my cards." The next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the entrance of servants with cold meat, cake, and a variety of all the fineby Teg - Tea Room

Canadian spelling! It should be the same as British. :D Sounds like Elizabeth D'Arcy set up a scavenger hunt to disguise her real goal and fooled the fangirls into doing her dirty work.by Teg - A Novel Idea

Float my boat means you're not into that particular thing. ;) Oh my but a lot of the descriptions will hit home with some people. lol! But as the Professor says, every field has its fanatics. I did laugh at 'Darcy going at it six times a day'. Pfft!by Teg - A Novel Idea

CWAP! Does she point out in her speeches that shy and proud are not mutually exclusive? Oh, sorry. I digress. I'm glad so many can't tell the difference between American and Canadian accents. That means the Canuck CWAP members will not be suspects. :Dby Teg - A Novel Idea

If I'm struggling to get through a scene that is just not cooperating I will sometimes write a different one further ahead in the story, one that I've already envisioned and worked through in my head. I prefer to write chronologically but occasionally that doesn't happen. Another strategy is to walk away from the computer and take my notebook outside. I can continue a scene with just a coupleby Teg - Tea Room

Interesting! I do hope Lydia doesn't suffer a delusion that Darcy is as deceitful as her own husband. lol She's in for a rude awakening.by Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

I enjoyed reading your comments, Charlie. Excellent points, but I dare not speak for the author's choices or directions. Nor do I have time at the moment, unfortunately, for more than a few sentences here. Your questions and suggestions for them, however, do make for some fine plot bunnies for anyone else to pick up on. :)by Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
That is my fave Bronte novel, too. :) - 1 year ago
The tale is far more than just a woman in an abusive marriage, as there really aren't such nasty details as a modern story would supply. Of course, I know that you know that already. :) I do love how it begins as a man telling a story and then becomes the woman's story being related by a man.. all by a female author of the time! Quite a radical approach. :D Anyway, late to the thread but kudosby Teg - Tea Room
Re: Unequal Affections, ch 12 - 1 year ago
I had to digest this before leaving a comment. This Darcy maintains his dignity 99% of the time when his emotions are highly engaged. From my pov, he was livid with his aunt, yet controlled his temper and even restrained his comments to her. At the same time I believe he was hurt by Lady C's words and actions. Of course he expected disapproval of his choice of wife, even expected rejection toby Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

That's all I have to say on the subject. :) I believe you have presented it very clearly and succinctly in this message and in your story. I'm enjoying reading the different journey these characters are taking as a result of Elizabeth's decision to first think about Darcy's offer and then say yes.by Teg - Tea Room
Re: Unequal Affections, ch 8 - 1 year ago
If only Lydia could be quelled by one of Darcy's 'looks'. lol! I am suspecting something to occur with Wickham, of course. Darcy will have to be on his toes, and less distracted by his lady love, to keep his old friend from creating havoc, not to mention scandal and distress. Darcy not distracted by Lizzy's proximity??? Impossible!by Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Unequal Affections, ch 5 - 1 year ago
I do so enjoy this story AND your writing. Such lovely expressions (I'm not talking about only Darcy's compliments and heartfelt endearments) and it flows so easily. At this rate Darcy will be sufficiently enlightened by the time he next meets Mrs. Bennet that he may view her differently, and contemplate the future relationship in a different light. This Darcy is receiving a much softer lessonby Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Your archiver could make corrections before saving this if you let her know how it should be changed. Some virtual chocolates might not go amiss, either. ;)by Teg - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
