This story keeps getting better and better. I was wondering how the family felt about how Jane and Elizabeth's husbands died, and you addressed my questions quite brilliantly. I also was quite thrilled by Lydia's change in attitude. Sometimes brattiness and selfishness can only be cured by seeing how one's life can be far worse, if not for their circumstances of birth. I loved how her aunts drove that lesson home, and though Lydia is my least favorite character, you have actually made her likable, something that shows your talent as a writer. Finally, I loved Kitty's lessons. They too, show just how much young women had to learn, when entering into society. This story is quite amazing, and I love how just a few changes have made the Bennets a stronger and more loving family. I can't wait to read next week's chapters.
