Re: In Darcy's brain - 10 years ago

This is what the book says in the letter Darcy wrote to Elizabeth There is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which I do not reflect with satisfaction; it is that I condescended to adopt the measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sister’s being in town. I knew it myself, as it was known to Miss Bingley; but her brother is even yet ignorant of it. I guess it depends on

Re: In Darcy's brain - 10 years ago

I don't believe that Jane thought visiting Caroline would show interest in Bingley, I believe in Jane's naivety, she genuinely believed that Caroline was her friend. That's why she believed Caro when she outright lied to Jane in her letter and just couldn't believe that her friend would deceive her. She truly believed Caro was being kind to her. I also think that at the time, since Darcy didn't b

Oh thank goodness. I thought I had missed something and it really wasn't finished. Now Kayleigh can keep on reading knowing it does end.

Roxey, what story are you lookng at? "Regard and Regulation" had an Epilogue and even has a teal dot on it which is only there if the story is finished. Maybe you are missing a link somewhere.

It would really be a boring world if everyone agreed. Not to mention we would never have any interesting JAFF stories!

Re: Bingley: Wishy-washy Wimp or Sweet-Tempered Champ - 10 years ago

I also look at the difference in the cautions from Darcy and Elizabeth to their friends. In Darcy's case he is cautioning Bingley that he sees no sign in Jane that she is in love with him and Bingley takes it as exact truth not trusting his own conversations and encounters with Jane....while Elizabeth declares to Charlotte that engagement to Collins is 'impossible' and Charlotte has thought her ca

Don't feel bad Adelade. I wasn't sure which one it was until the clue of shooting Elizabeth on Pemberley grounds...then I knew which one it was.

Re: Food for Thought - 10 years ago

I think that would really change the dynamics of the story a lot. First, who would then be Mrs Bennet's gossip buddy? Next, would she be able to see through Wickham more quickly? Mr Gardiner didn't in the original, but then, he didn't spend so much time with Wickham as Mrs Phillips did? Would she be stop Kitty and Lydia from flirting so much when attending gatherings in her home? Would she notic
