Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 32-34 - 3 years ago

My husband just pointed out to me (don't know why I didn't think of it myself) that you successfully inserted a pond/wet shirt scene with D & E into your story! LOL

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 32-34 - 3 years ago

Wow! So many changes for Darcy! Makes so much sense that his experience in that battle would be what was haunting him, keeping him from hearing! Terrific pond scene!! This is such a great story on so many levels! Thank you! Can hardly wait for more!!!!!!!

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 29-31 - 3 years ago

Thank you! I just love your writing. Wow! Thank goodness for Lizzy's great timing and her realization of how much he needs her and no one else can fill the role with her skills (and of course her caring and knowledge of him). And thank goodness for the Colonel's letter and the other note! I knew that dog could be a great friend to our hero, and now I'm wondering when they started training dogs

Re: Lady Catherine Disposes - Part V - 3 years ago

I really enjoyed this. Lady Catherine's meddling will ever hold no bounds. I particularly love the last 2 sentences of this Part, read them at least 5 times already. lol Thank you!

Re: Special License - 3 years ago

I also thought that the special license might be needed if they could not establish residency in the short time they had when they wanted or needed to be married. ??

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 24-25 - 3 years ago

Oh, I forgot to add that I thought the 2 VADs who thought it was so horrible that food was all over the floor were pathetic! I thought something really bad had happened to our dear Captain, but the food incident-- I guess I would rate them what my husband would call "sissy-la-las", if they think that was bad. But I guess, both of us working a career in mental health working with all levels of phys

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 24-25 - 3 years ago

Those chapters did seem quick, but oh, what a close call for Lizzy with Bingley and Jane there to visit! And I just have a great feeling about the dog becoming important to our dear Captain Darcy (of course, with one of my best friends being blind and who uses a guide dog, a lab, how could I not think that way! Please keep those chapters coming!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of fun! Really enjoying your story!!!!

Re: To the Lakes We Go - Chapter 3 and 4 - 3 years ago

I do recall in P&P it was said that Lizzy's aunt and uncle's home is on Gracechurch Street near Cheapside. Even though dear Caroline would downplay that difference in her dear snide way, I imagine that it indeed made a big difference.

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 20-23 - 3 years ago

Your story is amazing! Your writing is so effective, so heart-rending. Please tell me how many total chapters there are in this story, so I know my agony over ODC's situation(s) won't be tooooo long to bear. Just love your writing style and, well, everything!! Thank you.

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 16-17 - 3 years ago

Wow! Yes, there are definitely John Thornton fans here, and I am one, for sure!! Thank you for this gripping story. Now how can they keep Elizabeth at Donwell? Can't wait to see where you take us!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Bookseller's Widow - 3 years ago

I enjoyed your story very much. And I am so glad that Darcy could wish them well, even to the fact of attending their wedding, and welcome them to Pemberley for visits. Thank you for sharing this.

Re: "Not hardly" - 3 years ago

Very interesting! Then do you like the "folksy tone" of it? Thank you for the info!

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 14-15 - 3 years ago

Oh, my!! I knew the "incident" was coming from way back when you posted Book 1, but wow! This was all so vivid. Amazing job! Thank you! Just one question: You use a phrase in a conversation that I was taught is a double negative and poor English, but that the single word "hardly" would be more to the point. Has this changed? I have pasted it here: “Not hardly..." Thanks for clarification!

Re: A Kindly Aunt 33 & 34 - 3 years ago

Wonderful! I just love how the relationships between the Musgroves, Bennets, Darcy, Bingleys, etc., are progressing. And thank you for having Mr. Bennet step up to the plate to take Mrs. Bennet away!!! I was starting to be disappointed in him and wished he had stopped her sooner, but he at least did take her home! I can't wait to see how the visit at Pemberley goes and the younger girls' relati

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 11-13 - 3 years ago

Your story is amazing! I am totally hooked!!! It's wonderful how E cannot get away from Darcy completely, albeit by his London home, his relatives and friends. But does Darcy tell his cousin about Caroline's role in Elizabeth's disappearance? I guess I would hope for some repercussions for dear Miss Bingley. Ooh, am I horrid to feel so? Nah! lol Can hardly wait until your next posting! Thank

Re: The Way It Ought to Be, Chapter 18 - 3 years ago

Just lovely! And fun, too. Thank you so much for sharing this! My only complaint was that you didn't give a time frame for how long it had been from the last letter (from Lydia) to the final scene. I suppose I should be happy, though, to just figure it was a few more years, if they are planning to ride out with the children the next morning. Anyway, as I said, just lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lady Catherine Disposes - Part III - 3 years ago

I really got a chuckle out of Lady Catherine's statement to Georgiana (I think Lady Anne was pretty sly): "... I am renowned as an excellent hostess and your mother more than once complimented me on the matter. I can remember her saying that she had never before encountered the like in her life.” Also, please forgive me if you have already caught it, but thought you would want to add the "ed" to

Oh, I meant to mention before this-- I just love your chapter titles!! Thank you!

Re: The Way It Ought to Be, Chapter 17 - 3 years ago

Interesting... When I read that line, I thought immediately that Darcy was speaking of himself (but you're right in that it also could fit Mr & Mrs B.): Darcy filled the silence. “He would not be the first man of quiet disposition to be capivatedby a lively woman,” he said."

Well done! Well done!!!!!! Thank you for not bringing Wickham into the family!! Just love Turley and his way with Lydia!! Thank you!

Re: Lizzy's Scrapbook (freebie) - 3 years ago

Just want to clarify that the book I preordered is your new one, but I do have the first one of this, too, so had looked at the scrapbook before(just lovely). Thanks!

Re: Lizzy's Scrapbook (freebie) - 3 years ago

Thank you! I have looked through the scrapbook before, but it has been awhile and I would love to look through it again!!! It is a wonderful collection to share! Thanks again.

Re: Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, A WW1 P&P Companion Ch 5-7 - 3 years ago

How clever to have Lizzy-- oops, Juliet take a job transcribing for the good doctor who happens to specialize in head wounds! BTW, I saw your book on Amazon on preorders, so I had to order it to have it all to keep! Thank you!

Wow!! This is amazing! Your writing is so riveting, and I can picture it so clearly. Thank you!!!!!!!

Re: Witch hunt - 3 years ago

Oh, don't worry. I knew what you meant, so I think others probably did, too.

Re: The Way It Ought to Be, Chapter 16 - 3 years ago

What a sweet way for them to discuss and clear up any remaining misunderstandings, and to agree to always be honest and mention anything else to the other! Loved this! It was very sweet for Lizzy to feel more sure of herself when she had closer contact with Darcy, than when she was seated separately; she could still hardly believe it was all real, but especially when she was more apart from him.
