Ooohhhh... I’m sensing a Bingley Smackdown coming :)

I am quite enjoying this romp, and liking seeing a more assertive less doormatty Jane. I like stories where she grows a bit of a backbone. Be cool to see where it takes us.

The correct spelling is: "tete-a-tete."

Just as family can visit during a time of mourning, it was permissible for mourners to attend weddings of family. They would witness the ceremony but not participate in the celebration.

Why does Mrs Reynolds not know of Darcy's engagement to Elizabeth? It was published in the papers and Pemberley, though far from London, is not the moon.

I congratulate on the completion of this story. As you review and edit, I want to point out some glaring mistakes in expressions, especially during this time period.
For example, "Me too" is not a proper sentence or expression used during Regency Period. "I feel the same" or "As do I" is more proper. In this chapter it is written: "He rode her around their grand estate ..." I hope you did not intend to imply that he put a saddle on Jane and gave her the bit. "He rode WITH her ..." is what you intended, I think.

I think this is a good point to end the story. I enjoyed the parts you deleted, but I can understand how you feel about it. So it was a good decision to end it here instead of leaveing it incomplete. Maybe you will get in the mood to write a sequel one day. Stay safe and thank you for sharing.

Just now found this story. I am loving your perspective! Can't wait to read more!

I don't think Bingley and Kitty is a match. Be second choice to your own sister is stale. But in the case of Lady Mary, it is fresh.

Lady Mary would have ridden roughshod over the spineless Bingley. Not in a mean way, but simply because she knew more about estate management and had the stronger personality. She was a kinder combination of Lady Catherine and Caroline. Determined.

Many thanks. It is a good ending And a better match for jane. I think Kitty n Bingley r a better match. Lady Mary is a bit too strong for him i think n a bit too snobby

As a Mary Bennet fan I can't see her happy with Collins. Thankfully Austen never did that pairing or I would never have reread the book.

Thank you for sharing your story as far as it took you! :)

Me encanta tu historia, pero Ñ sé puede leer desde el can 27 en adelante , quisiera saber que sigue.

I really like these stories where Jane has a more mature and decisive partner than Bingley. However, so far she still feels second to Emma and she is with child! At this point Mathew should, could show her that his love for her surpass the feelings he once had for Emma. Another great one is that Lydia does not end with Wickham. I agree with the author that that is the one thing I didn’t like from Pride and Prejudice.
In this story so far we are getting a look, a story for everyone so far except Mary Bennet. Please don’t leave her behind without a future! Kitty gets to go to London but what happens to Mary?
