Today six of us gathered for a private tour of the Textilmuseum. The collection contains items documenting

New Release - Mr. Darcy's Christmas Present: The Madness of Mr. Darcy Continues

I've been very remiss in promoting this (got a lot on my mind, now I am 8 months pregnant), but my short story, Mr. Darcy's Christmas Present: The Madness of Mr. Darcy Continues, was published on Kindle last week. Do check it out, especially if you are one of the many readers who told me they were wanting just a little bit more from the original story. Hopefully, this slim volume will satiate

Part Eight



“I am almost the nearest relation Darcy has in the world and
am entitled to know all his dearest concerns," Lady Catherine demanded of
Miss Bennet.



"But you are not entitled to know mine, nor will such behavior as this ever induce
me to be explicit."



"Let me be rightly understood. This match, to

A few weeks passed before word came of as favorable a
resolution to the Bennets’ sad situation as one could hope. The illicit couple
had been found and married in London. A small, discrete notice in the newspaper
testified to the fact. Mr. Wickham’s debts had somehow been settled and a
commission purchased for

Lady Catherine’s nephews remained at Rosings much longer
than was their wont, and her ladyship steadfastly avoided all contact between
her party and that at the parsonage for nearly two weeks. However, she could
not keep two active and independent young men from calling on Mrs. Collins and
her guests, as she had reason to

The party at the parsonage, reduced within the week by the
departure of Sir William, found themselves honored with invitations to dine much
more frequently than they had previously been bestowed. For the next fortnight,
they were called forth twice a week, and it was on the fourth such evening that
Lady Catherine had the enjoyment of

Part Four – 1812-1813



After many years faithfully
shepherding his flock, Mr. Weatherspoon peacefully departed this earth on a
winter's evening early in 1812. His funeral was an impressive one, as he had been
respected and loved by most who knew him. In memoriam, the family from Rosings
Park sent two large and handsome flower bouquets to flank the alter in

Part Three – 1788-1808



Miss Anne de Bourgh, coddled, rich, and with a comfortable
home and complaisant disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of
existence. She spent her first few years with very little to distress or vex
her. No further children followed her to compete for the attention of her
parents. She was the light of her father’s existence. No
