Text of the page (random words):
ice leaves the sisters distracted as they return to mrs jennings s home in mayfair and jane encounters a mystery man who admires her at once jane and elizabeth of course encounter mr darcy his cousin the viscount and a host of familiar faces from sense sensibility during their time in london but jane s chance encounter with a heroic stranger creates a chain reaction of events that will affect elizabeth s budding romance with mr darcy as well as the fates of their dashwood cousins there are sure to be plenty of heas a few of which might astonish you in the meanwhile any guesses who jane s new beau may prove to be excerpt it was but a short walk back to mrs jennings s house jane hugged herself barely holding her composure as they hurried down the lane and elizabeth hovered protectively close to her sister neither of them were paying much heed to what was going on around them until they were accosted by a strange man he hurried toward them from behind and grabbed them each by the arm sending them all careening backward as a carriage sped past them right where they might have stepped in their distraction elizabeth stumbled and a kindly older woman moved forward to brace her as the gentleman steadied jane and ascertained that she was well forgive me for giving you a fright though i confess you quite scared me out of my wits he said i have no wish to see two lovely ladies trampled in the thoroughfare jane only gaped at the dashing fellow whose dark curls hung askance in his face after his daring rescue elizabeth smiled between the gentleman the older woman and a young lady who was clearly her daughter we owe you our warmest thanks my sister and i were wool gathering and not at all conscious of our surroundings the gentleman still held jane by the elbows for she had shed a few tears in the chaos of their near calamity he stared silently at her in the way that men often did elizabeth pursed her lips as she smiled hoping that her sister would take heart from the handsome stranger s evident admiration after the cruelty they had just endured and after i promised our chaperone that we would return home safely elizabeth said with a rueful laugh you have our thanks sir he did not look away from jane but the young lady bounced forward and introduced herself to elizabeth i am sophie hatchard my brother john is too distracted for introductions it seems she gave a playful wink elizabeth bennet and my sister jane she has a terrible megrim at present and we ought to be going elizabeth glanced over at her sister who was murmuring softly to the gentleman as he leaned forward to hear her it nearly appeared as if he was enjoying the scent of jane s hair which she had washed in rose water that morning elizabeth glanced back at the girl who appeared about the same age as lydia hatchard like the bookstore it is my husband s establishment the older woman said with a proud but friendly smile i cannot recall ever seeing you there before we just arrived from hertfordshire a few days ago but jane and i have been wishing to visit though i fear i shall spend a sum my other sisters would ridicule we are going there now miss hatchard said with a laugh john has been handling the bookkeeping since papa fell ill in october would you like to come with us we just received a new shipment of novels do you like novels the gentleman finally looked their way helping jane walk as she returned to elizabeth s side what is this of novels such a scene as this certainly puts one in mind of novels though i vastly prefer poetry odes to beauty also come to mind but at present i can think only of making myself useful i fear i was too hasty in pulling you from the path of that carriage and this fair creature had sprained her ankle elizabeth looked at her sister in horror jane still clung to the gentleman miss hatchard gasped i wondered why miss bennet was weeping oh dear john we must help them jane wiped at her face and the gentleman swiftly offered her a handkerchief embroidered with the initials jw jane dabbed at her face and let out a low whimper i ought to have gone back and retrieved my reticule we would not have been crossing the lane at that moment if only i had gone back for it your reticule where have you left it with some acquaintance we called upon whom we are not likely to see again elizabeth said she would have to ask one of mrs jennings s servants to collect it when they returned home what an unlucky day you are having he tutted and where do you reside i shall walk you home i believe your sister and i can support you tolerably well and then i shall personally retrieve your misplaced reticule and return with your property and a physician to examine you what do you say to that jane smiled through her tears you are very kind mr at the same moment miss hatchard clapped her hands how gallant of you john mamma and i will go on to the shop and wait for you there mrs hatchard shook her head and swatted at her daughter we will accompany them for the sake of propriety you silly kitten elizabeth smiled gratefully at the woman bemused by the girl s exuberance we do not have far to go indeed we are within sight of the house already it is the white stone house with the blue door number fifty seven just there thank you for your kind assistance she took one of jane s arms and the gentleman supported her from the other side they were a bit of a shambles but they managed to aid jane in keeping the weight off her injured ankles as they made slow progress up the lane their attention remained fixed on her until they reached mrs jennings s townhouse and then the gentleman lifted jane into his arms as if she weighed nothing at all and carried her up the front steps the housekeeper was in high alarm at the spectacle they presented as they entered the house and fluttered about as jane s rescuer lowered her onto a sofa by the window in the parlor mrs hatchard very sensibly approached the housekeeper and began to give orders requesting headache powders a small quantity of ice a hot brick and several soft towels you will want to wrap the hot brick and the ice each in separate towels begin with the ice laying it gently on the swollen ankle she said eyeing her son sharply he pulled jane s skirt back just a few inches and removed her shoe before slowly turning her foot one way and then the other watching for her reactions it is sprained but not broken after a half hour of ice apply the warm towel alternating between the heat and the cold will speed up the healing an old family remedy jane nodded rather dazedly thank you he nodded then called for a footman and dispatched the lad to fetch his own personal physician we ought not tarry nor would i intrude any further when you are afflicted with a megrim i will retrieve your reticule if you will tell me where it might be recovered and i shall leave it with your housekeeper the hurst residence number thirty eight hanover square elizabeth supplied allowing jane to squeeze her hand as the ice was applied to her ankle their rescuer took his leave promising to return with the hope of hearing of jane s recovery in a few days time his mother offered elizabeth her card and encouraged her to visit hatchard s soon a sentiment which miss hatchard enthusiastically echoed it was only after they had gone that jane realized she had not learned her savior s name she ran her fingers curiously over the handkerchief he had given her if his initials are jw he cannot be called mr hatchard i did not think to inquire nor i we were fearfully distracted oh jane elizabeth commiserated with her sister until mrs jennings returned and lamented over her guest s misfortunes miss bennet what a dreadful calamity oh i blame myself i ought to have come home with you after those dreadful women snubbed you and fawned so deliberately over lucy she is a good girl to be sure but you are both just as worthy as she and of longer acquaintance i have never seen such shocking rudeness it is miss bingley and her sister who ought to have sprained their ankles the harridans but tell me more about this gentleman who rescued you jane scarcely appeared to feel the pain of her ankle and indeed her spirits seemed entirely recovered as she told miss jennings of the handsome solicitous gentleman who had saved them from a far greater calamity escorted her home and returned her reticule sparing her that indignity the reticule had been delivered to the housekeeper and inside of it had been a single pink rose which jane brought to her nose with a wide smile the doctor arrived not long after mrs jennings and gave the lady another energetic spell of the vapors when he declared that jane would need to rest for several days this was not at all what she wished to hear for she had such grand plans for her two charges you will miss dining with mrs ferrars for she sent round an invitation for the day after tomorrow and the next night is lady morton s ball oh you poor creature i ought to have been with you and then this never would have happened elizabeth smiled as she perched on the side of jane s bed where she had been carried after the doctor s examination she thought of the handsome gentleman and could sense that jane did not entirely regret the circumstances that had led to their serendipitous meeting her mysterious gentleman had promised to call again so perhaps there was one event jane might reasonably look forward to what do you think of this excerpt i want to know more and who is he is he maybe an heir but from another father or

anthology lydia has joined elizabeth and the gardiners on their tour to the peak district elizabeth could have screamed while lydia chattered about wedding clothes and tried to engage aunt in a conversation about the best fashions elizabeth attempted to appear engrossed in her book to keep clear of her sister s interest so she would not have to talk but it was not possible to close her ears the constant nattering was driving her mad when the topic changed to how fine lydia would look walking into the best balls on wicky s arm while he wore his red coat her sole speech had become so
