Hi all, I am looking for a story where Elizabeth is staying with the Darcys in London while Darcy is fighting his attraction. One particular scene is when Elizabeth overhears Caroline trying to convince Darcy to help separate Jane and Bingley. He finds her in the hallway and takes her to his study where they talk it out and he apologizes. As she leaves, she kisses him on the cheek and that is wheby Rose H. - Tea Room
Hi all, I am looking for a Regency story where after Hunsford, Darcy apologizes to Jane while she is still at London and Jane assumes that he is going to court her. It was on another site but was taken down for publication. I just can't remember the title...by Rose H. - Tea Room

Wow, I guess I was wrong. I LOVE IT! looking forward to the next installment, though I hope that Cathy eventually does something right in regards to Henry. So sad for him.by Rose H. - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
I hope not. Cathy has always seemed so much nicer than than in the book, plus, how would Ricky know to do that and use Cathy? Henry does not seem like he would have told him before the dinner, and why would Cathy even do that to him? Still, I can't wait for the next installment!by Rose H. - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
I have been really enjoying this, and I particularly love the way you portray all of the relationships involved. Looking forward to Wednesday!by Rose H. - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Lydia had run away from Wickham, and since Mr. Darcy had arranged the marriage, she thought he must be horrible so she came to prove that he was and get Lizzie to run away with her. Does that ring any bells?by Rose H. - Tea Room
Hi all! I am looking for a story in which Lydia comes to Pemberley to rescue Lizzie from Mr. Darcy. It is a Regency story. Does it ring any bells?by Rose H. - Tea Room
I am looking for a story in which there is a scene where Collins tries to force Elizabeth in the Longbourn garden, and she is rescued by a couple who she meet in Lambton (I think). This couple are characters original to this story, and Elizabeth does have a torn dress on the shoulder. I think it is a story from another site, too. Sound familiar to anyone?by Rose H. - Tea Room
I think In Loving Memory is finishedby Rose H. - Tea Room
You are right, Suzanne, which is why I do not blame Fanny for saying no. I just think that Henry's abrupt abandonment of the chase was way weird. Considering how focused he was on it and how much effort he put into it, it did not make sense in terms of the story as it was set up even in this paragraph.by Rose H. - Tea Room
I agree that Edmund and Mary would have been miserable in the long-run, and Edmund was more in love with what he believed she was than Mary herself. However, Edmund was still in denial at the beginning of Tom's serious illness. I would have thought that her reaction to that would have been enough of an eye-opener, but it wasn't until Maria and Henry that he figured it out. To be fair, the reasoby Rose H. - Tea Room
Actually, the 'reformed rake' was a recognized social trope during this time period, and has featured in drama and literature for quite some time. "Reformed rakes make the best husbands" was a concern for Samuel Richardson (author of Pamela) in the late 1700s, but even earlier than that, playwrights like Aphra Behn (the first paid woman playwright) and her contemporaries of the 1600s used the chaby Rose H. - Tea Room
I don't know, Jim. It seems to me that Henry is very unique for an Austen villain because we actually experience some of his perspective. Wickham and Churchill do not have that privilege, and even some of the heroes do not have that kind of screen time. it seems to me that this was set-up as a reformed rake story (a popular motif) but then she decided that he wouldn't really change that much soby Rose H. - Tea Room
I agree that Henry's character is such that it is difficult to change, but I do not think that Austen presented him as someone who is completely incapable of changing. At least, I hope not. In some ways, I feel like Henry is a horrible warning about following through. He was on the road to change, and his presentation is very hero-like. Unlike any of the other 'villains,' we actually get to reby Rose H. - Tea Room
I was just listening to a dramatization of Mansfield Park, and I realized how close Henry had come to winning Fanny before jumping the gun with Maria. If he had been steady to his purpose like Darcy was, we would have had a different ending to Mansfield Park. So I am wondering...does anyone know a story, or stories, where this occurred? On a side note, what do you think Jane Austen was sayingby Rose H. - Tea Room
I would love to read it cause it sounds long but awesome. Could you share the link?by Rose H. - Tea Room
Janice, I looked up the Museums and Misunderstandings, and it says that it is not finished. Is there a completed version? I would love to read it, but I am worried that it is too unfinished.by Rose H. - Tea Room
Just finished this book and boy, was it a rollercoaster, and not in a good way. I even wrote a review for it here:http://isabelamadaun.hubpages.com/t/325ef8 hope you'll come and visit.by Rose H. - JAFF Library
