The Continuing Story of Lost in Austen

Ch. 1 So many Bloody changes!

Amanda smiled pleasantly as Darcy and she strolled down the steps of the Gardens at Pemberely. They remained silent yet happily beaming for the recent news had vexed them both to a state of seemingly permanent splendor, for neither of them had experienced before the happy event that had befallen them that very day, or the elatious feelings comprised by it.

They had still not regained their speech when they reached the carriage in front of the estate for they had silently agreed that the news needed to be personally told posthaste, until the footman addressed them with questions regarding their destination and travel preference. Darcy regained his voice first. "We shall away to longbourne at once!" he said and immediately helped Ms. Price into the carriage.

When Amanda finally spoke again the first words she uttered were, "Mrs. Bennet's going to Shit!" suddenly gaining a hand over her mouth and a bright red countenance! "Please forgive me for I'm…just so…happy…I-I'm just so bloody ecstatic! You make me so happy Darcy and I-I can't control myself! Ha!" She stopped herself before she began embarrassing herself further and paused to hear his reply. He merely smiled a broad smile and pulled her face to his and kissed her softly, "If it had not been my education to contain myself in even the most appropriate circumstances such as this one, I would be rambling aimlessly as well my darling, so please continue on for us both for you hold my happy renderings in your speech as well" He whispered to her. She smiled and continued her 21st Century style adorations- some nearing on the obscene-until the moment they arrived to the Estate of the Bennet family, where Darcy had to quickly recover for he had never laughed so much in his lifetime and had to wipe his eyes and brow before displaying his countenance to the man who would be the closest thing to a father-in-law to him. He adjusted his hat and stepped out of the carriage, and offering her his hand helped Amanda out as well. He straightened his coat and offered her his arm. He lead her up the path to the door. " In the word's of my future wife," he told her, "let the bloody fun begin!" Amanda blurted out a loud laugh and recovered seconds before the door was opened and they were staring at the happy to be free Elizabeth Bennet and her not so happy mother behind her already glowering at Ms. Price and her great good fortune.
