Phew! I'm glad the thieves didn't try to attack the Bennets or kidnap Elizabeth. Of course,that would have been too foolhardy of them, with so many guards around keeping watch of everything. But the gall of them, robbing the sheriff's home.
Lady Matlock is doing a great job with Mrs Bennet.
What a mysterious plan you had Richard suggest to catch those blackguards? And Kitty plays a part in it? I look forward to know all about it.
Thank you very much for updating this awesome story.
