An Even Path/Beautiful Friendship - 1 year ago
Hi! I decided it was just easiest to have An Even Path stored in the Pemberley library at Meryton (dot) com. I can't bring myself to self pub for something I wrote intending it to be free. I've sent it to the Meryton admins so it should be on the Meryton site by end of week they said if anyone wants to go back for a re-read.by BernadetteE - Tea Room

Hi Lauren, thank you so much! The pandemic has been and continues to be quite awful! Thank you for searching for my story, I plan to self-publish it on Amazon this Aug/Septby BernadetteE - Tea Room
Re: Looking for beautiful friendship/ an even path - 3 years ago
Hi Tasha, Harvey, and LizzyS, I'm so glad you like the story. A revised version was posted on A Happy Assembly (meryton.com) over the course of approximately two years. Then it was removed so that I could self publish it via Amazon. I've never been particularly speedy and so it hasn't happened yet, but I hoped to do it this August/September. I promise to post here as soon as it's available, thankby BernadetteE - Tea Room

An Even Path: Post 10 --- Though Will and Jenna Fairfax met as strangers, they reached the main courtyard as friends. He learned that she was a dancer with the British Opera Ballet, just like Elizabeth, and that she had yet to be given any significant work as a soloist. There was, however, discussion of her being an alternate for Sleeping Beauty or Don Quixote. "Which do you want more?" Willby BernadetteE - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

An Even Path: Post 9 Chapter 12 Mansfield Park was nothing short of astonishing. Romanesque bridge, complete with keystone arches, stretched over its rivers. There were stretches of oak trees and long sweeping lawns. They drove past enormous topiary mazes, dormant rose gardens, and high stone walls. The car stopped at the edge of one broad courtyard. After exiting the car, the trio gatheredby BernadetteE - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Chapter 10 Part 1 Darcy, Knightley and Wentworth had always bonded over a common interest in athletics. Will was a swift-footed footballer, a tactical runner, and a brutally efficient polo player. Wentworth favored sturdy sports: boxing, wrestling, swimming, hockey, rugby. Knightley's passions were rowing, and long distance running. Both sports came naturally to the young physician.

Author's Note: Here's the second half! Hope you like it! Just a content heads up: this chapter (both parts of the chapter, actually) doesn't have or show anything inappropriate, but it does have two conversations between adults who are discussing intimacy. It is not a detailed discussion, more like a topic overview, but it is in there. If you want to read a version of this chapter that has justby BernadetteE - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Thank you for your comments, Lily! I like the fact that their awareness is growing slowly too. I totally agree with you too that Tye's come so far and done so much that he should be incredibly proud of. And I definitely think it's time for him to see Georgiana as fallible so he can feel like they truly are on equal footing. That's especially important when it comes to Georgiana and Tye disclosingby BernadetteE - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Author's Note: I hope to have the second half of this chapter posted soon! Chapter 4 Tye's offer was this: supper at his brother's country home. “I know that Edmund and Fay wouldn't mind an additional guest.” He checked the time on his wristwatch. When he looked up again, she was struck by the warmth of his brown eyes, and how lovely the color was against his honey-blond eyelashes. “I don'by BernadetteE - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
