So happy to see this story back. I have really enjoyed it. I like that you have a likable Lydia with Elizabeth. That's a very nice change of pace. It has to be so strange for her to know that she will be working with her Smithy. I'm hoping there's another match for Richard as I know he had feelings for her prior to Darcy. I'm enjoying the spin you're putting on all the characters and greatly looking forward to next chapter.

I'm puzzled - does Darcy really not feel anything when he sees her? He appears to like her since he offered her the job. I'm really curious how you will resolve his forgotten memories, and if he will fall back in love with her even if he never remembers.

I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Thanks!

Excellent chapter! I hope he really doesn't recognize but I hope he will in the future. Thanks for posting!

This truly is a wonderful story, I love the character changes for Lydia and Mrs. Bennet, i'm still unsure about Jane, but I love the well roundness of the other characters, you truly did a mastery job of creating a different dimension to all of them. Please continue on with this story, I was instantly hooked!

I am enjoying your story very much.

I am glad Elizabeth found "Smithy". How very sad for her that he doesn't recognize her. I can't wait to read what happens next.

Wow! I just started reading your story yesterday, Darcy. I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying it. I dreamed about it last night and even told my husband about it this morning. It is hard for me to pin down why I have been so taken with it but I am!

I love the twists you've given Austen's characters and for some bizarre reason I even rather like the odd Mr. Collins. He's kind of emotionally stunted but in his own way he has a heart for educating and helping the poor...just like Darcy.

Caroline terrifies me, Charles is so sweet and unsure of himself, I'm delighted that Elizabeth's mother isn't shrill and managing but rather a little ditzy and sweet.

Lydia is a pleasant surprise, as well! Young and eager to live life but not a fool. Your entire cast is noteworthy.

I feel so sorry for Elizabeth's broken heart and for Fitzwilliam's constant feeling of forgetting something important. His heart remembers her even if his mind doesn't. Then I worry about Richard who seems genuinely fond of Lizzy. I hope his heart isn't broken in the process of Fitzwillam and Elizabeth rediscovering one another.

May I ask your posting schedule? I'm definitely subscribing to

this one.

Oh man, this just keeps getting better and better. Honestly, memory loss stories are my favorite, and this one is a gem. I can't wait to see what happens at Pemberly!

I sense E & Smith/Darcy are getting closer to meeting...yes? The poor girl needs something good to happen to her. Thanks for the bittersweet and lovely chapter.

I just caught up with your story tonight and am loving it, although I hope you don't have plans to pair Lizzy with Richard. She needs to be with Darcy, and I hope his memory of her will surface soon.

Wonderful, Wonderful. I hope that Lizzy takes the job and above all I hope that Darcy hasn't moved on with the octopus.

Post again very soon please.

i honestly checked this story last night to see if i had missed an update! this is such a marvelous story i really like it and i can't wait for darcy and lizzie to meet up again

Excellent chapter! :)

thank you

Teri

Arghh...Lizzie, go to Pemberley! Such beautiful things await you there...

Wonderful again. Sigh. Poor Lizzie, feeling so lost. I guess she (and we) will have to suffer a lot more angst before she finds her happiness (which I assume will be found!)

Thanks for the update. I'm already looking forward to the nest chapter.
