Colonel Fitzwilliam Quotes

“I have come to realise that your are the most important person in the world to me, and I wanted to know if you would consider... if you would do me the honour of becoming my wife”
― C. Allyn Pierson, Mr. Darcy's Little Sister

“I am the fierce one who threatens death to scoundrels, Darcy." Fitzwilliam scolded. "You are the one who keeps a cool head and prevents it. That is the order of things.”
― Diana J. Oaks, One Thread Pulled: The Dance with Mr. Darcy

“You must forgive my cousin, Mr. Carroll; his manners are deplorable."
Colonel Fitzwilliam feigned offence and turned to the butler while addressing his cousin's barb. "Mr. Carroll and I have an understanding, don't we, man? He knows I prefer to walk in unannounced.”
― KaraLynne Mackrory, Falling for Mr. Darcy

“The colonel laughed, effectively halting Bingley's speech. "Uncharacteristically reclusive? Do we speak if the same man? Darcy's very character is defined by his reclusiveness! He prefers to keep his own counsel, especially when he ought to do the opposite - the bacon-brained buffoon.”
― KaraLynne Mackrory, Haunting Mr. Darcy: A Spirited Courtship

“They agreed, however, that they could wish them only as much joy as they had together, refusing to be dislodged from their position as the happiest couple in the world, by anyone.”
― Rebecca Ann Collins, The Pemberley Chronicles

“She crossed her arms across her chest, and for a moment, Richard thought she looked a lot like her brother, only more like an adorable, angry kitten.”
― KaraLynne Mackrory, Bluebells in the Mourning

“Thank you Mr. Carroll. You will have to excuse my cousin; he seems to have lost his mind along with his manners.”
― KaraLynne Mackrory, Haunting Mr. Darcy: A Spirited Courtship

“He might, at last, be allowed to speak to Mary unguarded and learn a little more about her. He did not know why she had lodged herself so firmly in his mind but that she was so unlike the young ladies he usually met. So unlike her sisters! This was perhaps a part of it. He had sensed something in Mary that he knew all too well in himself: the pain of being overlooked by one’s immediate family. It was plain that Mary’s father preferred clever, outgoing Elizabeth and Kitty was her mother’s favourite. Mary was...Mary.
She is an enigma, Richard thought, letting the noise of his cousins’ conversation drop to a low lull at the back of his mind. And I am intrigued by her.”
― Meg Osborne, Christmas in Kent: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

“Fitzwilliam sauntered into his study without so much as a by your leave, and in his wake followed Anne and Georgiana. Darcy directed a pointed look at his sister, knowing it was likely at her instigation that they had come, but for once Georgiana did not duck her head or avoid his gaze; instead, his kitten of a sister seemed to have turned into a tiger overnight, and Darcy wondered what other havoc Miss Elizabeth would wreak on his life.”
― Jann Rowland, Coincidence

“I oughtn’t to have eaten so much,” Richard groaned, laying a hand on his slim midsection. “Not when I am not marching to burn it off.” “You might march, if you wish,” Darcy remarked, from his seat in the corner. “Rise with the rooster and plot a route around the grounds. I shall give Georgiana leave to heckle you, if you are missing regimental life so sorely.” Richard grinned. “Thank you, no. I have been on the receiving end of Georgiana’s heckling before and she is a crueller drill-sergeant than any who wears colours. No, I shall embark on some easier exercise, I think. Perhaps a ride.”
― Meg Osborne, Mr Darcy's Summer Surprise

“Richard glanced over his shoulder once more, noting the careful degree of distance between the pair, and let out a sigh he could not quite stifle. Darcy and Elizabeth may be in love, he thought as he and Anne reached the table and found their seats. But I am not entirely sure they know it!”
― Meg Osborne, Mr Darcy's Summer Surprise
