Text of the page (random words):
have been warned against revealing my ignorance of such worldly matters miss elizabeth dropped her voice to a whisper and leaned a little closer as if confiding a great secret mamma fears our lack of experience in society may lead us to some folly but my cousin rebecca quite depends on that lady rebecca must have heard her name mentioned for she turned round with a sharp look what are you talking of with mr darcy lizzy only of the many diversions i expect to delight me in london every sort of folly and fantastical adventure to be sure you will meet with folly enough in every drawing room of every great house in mayfair lady rebecca drawled the adventure must be of your own making but i am quite at your service as am i william found himself saying i can well recall the tremendous sense of promise i felt when london was new to me in such a state of mind anything might be made to feel like an adventure he feared he sounded entirely foolish but miss elizabeth s eyes lit with glee yes exactly every trip to the great museums and galleries of the city exploring the bookshops of bond street and dancing all night at balls what must be mundane to those fortunate enough to reside in london shall hold such wonderful novelty for jane and me you sound as though you envy your cousins who reside here in town miss elizabeth laughed and shook her head oh no not at all i should think it a great pity if london did not hold such a captivating sense of wonder and possibility of some delights you know a little goes a long way i could not agree more he said it would not do to divulge the novelty of his own trips to town amusing himself under the guise of will darcy dining at expensive hotels attending the theatre and the opera every night and running up considerable bills at his tailor but he comprehended her perfectly london in small doses held just the right amount of allure for him to bear his time at wildewood and all the responsibilities of managing his estate and looking after his ward miss elizabeth smiled brightly giving a little bounce of enthusiasm oh do tell me you vastly prefer residing in the country surrey is near enough to kent that it must be just as picturesque i could idle away my days in the countryside forever taking long walks and savoring every sound and smell and sight of the pastoral world around me she brought a hand to her lips and gave a breathy giggle tell me at least that i do not sound entirely provincial if you do then i am sure i shall as well i have been just as fortunate as you miss elizabeth he said her name slowly and with the same fascination with which she had pronounced his own and he felt his cheeks heat with mortification and yet he rather enjoyed how easy it was to speak with her as if he might say anything and be met with approbation i was also adopted in my youth surely the dowager countess must have mentioned it she did miss elizabeth said with a look of curiosity i have never met anyone else who shares my unusual origins nor i william frowned at his accidental falsehood his ward had lost both her parents and lady grey had not been pleased at the prospect of raising another woman s child when she became mrs cardew kitty cardew had been raised chiefly by a series of governesses until william had taken possession of wildewood after completing his studies but having a young female ward was not the sort of thing one blurted out to charming young ladies over supper william gave miss elizabeth a tight smile and she furrowed her brow in concern i hope you have been as fortunate in your guardian as well sir thomas grey was an old bachelor when he took me in but he was a kind and generous man who taught me a great deal in the brief time we had together i have many fond memories of him he married when i was five or six and his wife was well i suppose i might call her a solitary creature she had no children of her own though she was fond of hounds and house cats she spent a great deal of time reading and she did impart that particular enjoyment upon me miss elizabeth sat straighter her eyes wide with excitement as she exclaimed of her own fondness for books of every sort the subject occupied them for the rest of the meal and william could hardly repine the pleasant discovery of their similar tastes for poetry philosophy and history he was even content to receive several recommendations of recent novels and being of the opinion that anything which could delight such an effervescent creature as elizabeth bennet must certainly have merit he promised to look out for copies of a few titles perhaps they might even discuss the latest titles from maria edgeworth or frances burney it would certainly gratify kitty if he returned to wildewood well versed in one of her favorite pleasures that his ward would welcome any female addition to their household was amongst his many favorable thoughts as he sought miss elizabeth out again after supper when their party withdrew to the parlor in particular he was certain that she would like miss elizabeth for they shared open artless manners and ease in conversation speaking with great animation and listening with equal enjoyment to what was new and interesting like his ward miss elizabeth possessed a humorous and whimsical mind she seemed ready to laugh at his attempts to be clever and her own intelligence only heightened william s admiration when they had exhausted their discourse on books and poetry and then shared their similar hopes of amusement in london by taking in the art and culture of the metropolis miss elizabeth began a rather impudent assessment of their companions people fascinate me more than anything she confided in a wry tone that dared him to think her frivolous william did not especially enjoy the company of his neighbors in surrey for they were mostly older and all rather dull but will darcy reveled in the vast panorama of life in london even when he felt himself unequal to matching the ease of his companions he joined miss elizabeth in surveying their friends with irreverent scrutiny and he could guess what would amuse her most my friend seems quite besotted with your sister i have never seen him look such a great fool i daresay he may feel himself to be a great fool she agreed i suppose you are aware of his obstinacy in refusing to satisfy lady catherine s demands i shall tease him mercilessly for it at the earliest opportunity i hope you do sir i should be happy to take up your cause myself once i have taken the measure of my cousin i have not seen him since i was thirteen or fourteen but i recall that his constitution can bear considerable vexation in tolerably good cheer how it must nettle him already that he has through his own stubborn avoidance deprived himself of the most wonderful person he is likely to ever encounter her praise of her sister was endearing to william and she had much of it she spoke warmly of jane bennet s many perfections lady catherine had given the sisters every advantage in growing quite accomplished it seemed though miss elizabeth assured him that her sister was far her superior in nearly every pursuit only in absolute candor have i exceeded her miss elizabeth said with a rueful laugh mamma finds it quite shocking how freely i give my opinions it is a relief that you do not seem at all scandalized sir if you are you have at least made a valiant effort of concealing the fact i am quite in awe of you william said without thinking it was to be an easy thing to do in her presence and he was astonished that it seemed to please her when they had satisfied their own sense of mischief in speculating upon the budding attachment of richard and miss bennet who received her cousin s attentions with serenity william drew miss elizabeth s attention to poor bingley the dowager countess dozed in her chair by the fire still wearing the smug smile of satisfaction that had graced her noble envisage as her son dutifully paid court to the heiress of rosings with richard completely absorbed in recommending himself to miss bennet bingley had been left to the dubious company of the fitzwilliam sisters they are an odd pairing do you not think i have always pitied lady rose and lady rebecca for being such a great distance in age i believe it is seven or eight years jane and i are separated only by two years and of course by the disparity in our dispositions but we are not half so different as my two cousins i wonder what they ever talk of assuming they are not actually in a constant state of quarreling as lady rebecca claims miss elizabeth tapped her chin thoughtfully as she observed them her eyes narrowed as if studying them for secrets she turned and gave william a playful look i fear your friend may be in want of rescue while lady rose flirted and fluttered at bingley s side lady rebecca s lips twisted in such a way that though william could not hear what she was saying he had little doubt that it was far too satirical for bingley fortunately his friend had drunk enough wine at dinner to be past any awkwardness and thus william was spared any sense of obligation to rescue him instead he was more agreeably engaged than he had ever been and though he knew it was no small thing he remained at elizabeth bennet s side for the rest of the evening not for a moment in want of any other amusement what do you think what a smooth conversation right do you think jane and richard will eventually be together or will something change towards bingley how will elizabeth and william end up together if lady catherine wants to prevent it so many questions that i am eager to answer jayne bamber is a life long austen fan and a total sucker for costume dramas jayne read her first

prejudice jayne realizes that she is no lizzy bennet and is in fact growing up to be mrs bennet more and more each day hello again dear readers i have another excerpt to share today from my new release the guardian gambit this mashup of pride prejudice and emma is another of my homages to pop culture films after taking on cult classics like clue the holiday home alone groundhog day and forgetting sarah marshall i have drawn my latest influence from the parent trap elizabeth bennet is raised as the ward and heiress of her father mr bennet owner of both longbourn and netherfield since becoming a wealthy widower a friend she met seemingly by chance has invited her to weymouth and in the aftermath of a masquerade ball elizabeth finds herself face to face with her identical copy she and jane fairfax soon discover they are twins separated more than twenty years ago and they agree to switch places in a scheme to ultimately bring their father back to their mother miss bates the twins exchange places jane must pose as elizabeth and face off against her father s fortune hunting new fiancée while elizabeth cannot contain her gregarious nature while pretending to be jane in highbury not when her new neighbor mr bingley has such a proud and arrogant friend staying with him in the excerpt i am sharing today elizabeth cannot resist a little impertinence to the new neighbors mr bingley and his friend mr darcy which endears her to emma though highbury s darling emma woodhouse has never cared for jane fairfax elizabeth s inability to mimic her sister s reserve leads to friendship at last for the two young ladies and when mr bingley accidentally compromises emma her new friend comes to her aid with perhaps more compassion than emma deserves when emma again opened her eyes she was in an unfamiliar bedroom it was cold though a fire had been lit she was laid back on a plush mattress supported by half a dozen pillows she slowly sat up and looked around in a chair beside the bed jane fairfax looked up from a book how do you feel would you like another cold cloth to the brow another emma shook her head in confusion am i still at randalls how long have i been here it has only been ten minutes emma i offered to stay with you i suppose the party is over oh it is quite finished jane said with a rueful smile mr knightley began evicting mr weston s guests the moment you fainted mr elton and his sister seemed loathe to leave a scene of such fascination but they are gone and mr knightley stormed off looking like the very devil i think he had words with his brother emma gasped and jane bit her lip as if she regretted revealing this detail and the others miss taylor went to hartfield to fetch you a new frock your father begged mr weston to go and summon mr perry to attend to you at once though mr weston is chagrined that he must admit to hosting a party to which the good doctor was not invited happily our kind host had prepared a guest room hoping his son might occupy it he made it available for your use in his library your relations are speaking to mr bingley who has asked mr darcy to remain with him between the tearing of your gown and your
