Life goes on...

Interesting...meeting such a man...cannot imagine how awed I would be.

And she didn't make the connection but then neither did her!

...somewhere in the world thinking well of you...

Again...I am quite overcome!

Drama - I am near tears! Ironic... the colonel meeting her.

Not what I expected...at all.

Mrs. Bennet sees more than we knew. Words of wisdom but glad she is not insisting it be Collins. Awful man!

What a tangled web to sort through. I cannot imagine being put in that position. Men killed each other in duels but a lady protecting her honor...sad! Thanks for this chapter.

I do like how Lina handled that...too bad the part about the footman was made up...or was it? One good thing...it was not Lydia this time. Thanks for this chapter.

This ball seems to be going well for everyone so far. Darcy is a goner and Elizabeth is fighting a losing battle but just does not recognize it yet. Thanks for this chapter.

Again...well played when filling up her dance card! I do like the friendship between Eliza and Lina. Never read this before in any other variation. Thanks for this chapter.

I did expect that sooner or later that "incident" would somehow come out. I do hope Lydia and Kitty learned a lesson and will keep it secret. I was not surprised that Darcy overheard it. I liked the interaction between them in this chapter. Thanks for this chapter.

That was close...Elizabeth did well not to spill all the details. I do hope her sisters can keep it quiet! Thanks for this chapter.

I do like the discussion here and how succinctly Elizabeth outlined their positions. Lina certainly took that better than Caroline in canon would ever have done. Thanks for this chapter.
