Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves - Epilogue - 1 year ago

Yes, I knew Kitty and Mr Riley Jr. would be a couple! Well, at least, I was hoping for it. Beautiful proposal. I'm glad Sir Riley was not the man Richard was supposed to replace as sheriff. In the chapter where Lady Matlock was promoting Richard as a successor to a current sick sheriff I thought it was Sir Riley. I should have read wrong that part. So it's great he's still healthy and continues t

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 51 - 1 year ago

What a sweet ending! Thank you so much for finishing and sharing this great story! I love when Elizabeth is a heroine in fanfiction, as usually the knight in shining armour is only Darcy. It's OK they haven't found the fourth highwayman. If he decided not to continue with the robberies after those deaths, perhaps he deserves to have a new chance at living decently. As Mr Gardiner said, the main c

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 50 - 1 year ago

Excellent! Good reasoning by Lady Matlock. What an ally Lizzy has. Pity the sheriff is so ill. But it's an opportunity for Richard. I'm glad Mr Gardiner is doing so better. Thank you for updating.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 49 - 1 year ago

Thank you for updating. Yes, I hope he really has turned a corner with his grief. How painful that looking at his children reminds him so much of his loss. Thankfully the pastors are there to help him. Needless to say, I look forward to the next chapter.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 48 - 1 year ago

Great introduction to the ton. And what a way to put Miss Bingley down, for not calling our girl for her complete first name, ha ha! I always like when Caroline gets her comeuppance :-D. Thank you for updating.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 47 - 1 year ago

Thank you for updating and for telling us how many chapters are left. This is one the most wonderful, delightful stories I have read, even if poor Mrs Gardiner had to die for ODC to meet again and fall mutually in love. I look forward to anything you plan to write next in this fandom, and I'm glad you're ready to begin your first? novel. About this story, will we ever know who's the forth highwa

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 46 - 1 year ago

Poor Mr Gardiner! Will he ever recover enough to enjoy again life and his four children? Of course his great loss is still so fresh. I'm glad Mrs Bennet seems to really care for him and his children. Mary has a difficult task, helping him to gain again his strength (besides caring for the children and his house). At first I felt a little, but very little pity for Mr John, as he didn't directly

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 45 - 1 year ago

Bravo, Lizzy! Bravo, Anne! You have written such a compelling scene. Not only Mrs Gardiner would have been proud of Elizabeth, her own mamma Bennet should be proud of her. I love this story. I love everything that happened at the trial. Samuel John and Blackwell have no chance after Lizzy's testimony. No wonder they (or at least Blackwell) tried to kill her at Matlock. Very satisfying chapter.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 44 - 1 year ago

So the mystery of the fourth highwayman remains.At least the two main responsibles for the three murders will be judged accordingly. Poor Lizzy and Mr Gardiner, having to visit again the place where their beloved aunt and wife (and that poor driver) died. So sad. Kitty seems to be blossoming away from Lydia and with the nice company they're having. Good for her! Thank you for this update. I l

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 42-43 - 1 year ago

You're right! Much more exciting as you wrote it. And we have a Kitty heroine. Thank you very much for posting chapter 43 as well.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 42-43 - 1 year ago

Elizabeth put herself into danger but Kitty saved the day! I can't blame Elizabeth anyway, you have to be in her shoes at that precise moment to know how you will react. She obviously thought she could close the door in time, but I think she would have been safer under the couch, although who knows what this John guy would had done in that case. Perhaps try to hide himself under a couch when he

Oh, goodness!what a suspense! Now the action begins again. Where are Darcy and the Colonel, right now? Thank you for updating. I look forward to the next installment.

No!!! What a cliffhanger, dear authoress! Hope you can find time to write and update soon. I'm loving this story!

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 35-37 - 1 year ago

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 l

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 34 - 1 year ago

Oh, how ominous! So they realised too late the thieves were deceiving them (always a track behind them). What are those blackguards planning? Attacking Elizabeth and her relatives while they're all mourning the woman they killed? How ugly. Thank you for updating.
by Maria Teresa C - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 31-33 - 1 year ago

Great chapters! Thank you very much for updating. I'm proud of Kitty for her sympathy for the thieves' family, and a bit disappointed that she thought they had no other option that attacking carriages and robbing their passengers to feed their children. I know their situation was very bad, but things cannot be as simple as that. They ended killing three innocent people (including the Earl and Cou

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 29-30 - 1 year ago

Great exchange between Lady Catherine and Mr Bennet, her brother and her sister. Will Lydia and Mrs Bennet be able to keep quiet about the rumours about Lizzy and Darcy? I hope the threat of affecting the marriage prospects of her other girls will be enough to make Mrs Bennet fearful of talking about it. So glad Lady Matlock has become Lizzy's ally and defender. And the earl has become Mr Bennet

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 26-28 - 1 year ago

Ah, ok. Thank you very much for your answer. I look forward to seeing how that visit would go (how everything will go, in fact). Cheers!

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 26-28 - 1 year ago

Thank you for your answer. I had forgotten Mr Bennet was Sir Riley's friend. It makes sense most of the family would stay in Sir Riley's home rather than with the Fitzwilliams. My main doubt was whether Mr Bennet was willing to impose his wife on the Matlocks with only Jane and Lizzy to check on her behaviour (as Mr Gardiner will not be up to the task in his state). As you didn't mention her comin

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 26-28 - 1 year ago

Thank you for another installment of this great story! So frustrating they haven't identified the other two highwaymen yet, and they apparently lost track of them. I hope the discovery of the inn which is property of the leader will help Riley and his men learn more about those bandits, so they can capture them. Lizzy is already missing Darcy, which means she's well in her way to fall in love w

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 25 - 1 year ago

Very nice chapter, a little rest and enjoyable time for our dear characters until the action begins again. Poor Mr Gardiner. That drawing from his daughter was very moving. Thank you for this update. I look forward to the next one.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 24 - 1 year ago

Foolish Lydia! They told her Wickham was a womanizer, who had at least a child out of wedlock, plus a lot of debts and being a deserter, and she's only angry at him because he went away without her! Mrs Bennet was too soft with her. At least SHE has sense enough to realise what a poor husband a soldier just like him would be for her daughter. Lydia needs to be taught how much everything costs, to

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 21-23 - 1 year ago

Thank you very much for this update! Yes, they have identified 2 of the criminals, one of them the murderer, no less! And the other the leader. It's a matter of time until they identify the other 2, and a little more of luck to capture the 4 of them, without any of them killing or injuring other innocent people. And Bingley is back at Netherfield. Let's see how his courtship of Jane continues.

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapters 13-17 - 1 year ago

What a change for Lydia! From protesting because she had to come back to Longbourn and wear mourning clothes, to crying for the great loss of her little cousin! Poor girl! Of course she would move to tears even a spoiled brat like Lydia. Thank you very much for sharing!

Re: Action Lizzy and the Four Thieves Chapter 12 - 1 year ago

What a wonderful story. I discovered it recently and devored the twelve chapters you posted. Now I look forward to the next one. I'm only sorry for Mrs Gardiner's death. She will never visit Pemberley extensive gardens in a phaeton, never will speculate about Elizabeth and Darcy's attachment because she won't see them together :-( Let's hope Mr Gardiner recovers well and realises he has to live fo

Looking for a story - a rival for Darcy called Dashwood - 2 years ago

I remember very much of this story, but not the title. In it, Darcy doesn't want the Bennets, particularly Elizabeth, to know he found Wickham and bribed him to marry Lydia. He asks a friend of him, an officer called Dashwood, cousin to Elinor and Marianne, to take credit for finding them and helping them to marry, with the excuse that he was a friend of Wickham and wanted to help him.

Re: Death at the Netherfield Ball, Chapter 7 - 2 years ago

What a great story! Thank you very much for sharing it! I absolutely love the debate between Mr Bennet and Darcy about pride. Mr Bennet's words seems wiser to me than Darcy's, who presumed that at his young age he knew so much about men that there was not mystery for him in their world, but Darcy had a point when he almost accused Mr Bennet of sloth, misanthropy and acedia (I take it as a sort of
