Text of the page (random words):
odgings in pulteney street she had already discovered the essentials about her new friend miss tilney had lost her mother nine years before and her oldest brother not long after she was four and twenty nearly a spinster and perhaps this was why she rather reminded catherine of charlotte i wonder that you have never married miss tilney catherine observed you are not so very plain your manners are open and easy and i think you said your father is a gentleman miss tilney colored for a moment and looked away call me eleanor please she was quiet just long enough for catherine to repent her impertinent question but at length she answered i have wished to marry to be sure but i could never leave my brother henry i am all he has in the world what of your father my father is well henry and i are very close and he is so ill oh and he is not married then no and more s the pity eleanor smiled wryly he is very handsome you know he wished to be a parson before before he fell ill what is his affliction eleanor s face belied a long suffering melancholy it is a a hematological disorder a very uncommon thing we have every hope of finding a doctor here in bath who can cure him i hope you do is he very ill then catherine did not recognize the word eleanor had used to describe her brother s affliction but she was too embarrassed to admit as much to her older and wiser companion her interest was captivated by the thought of her brave and kindly friend tending to a handsome ailing brother if he was truly so like eleanor in disposition catherine thought she would very much like to meet him is he confined to a sick bed or might he take the waters shall he go out in society at all here in bath eleanor bit her lip and knit her brow for a moment it is a curious thing it comes and goes i have every hope of coaxing him out of the house some evening particularly as i now have some acquaintance here he is generally unable to leave the house in the mornings and afternoons but perhaps an assembly might tempt him sick in the mornings my mother was thus when she carried all my brothers and sisters of course i daresay your brother does not suffer that affliction if he does not go out in the day but only of an evening i might guess he was a vampire catherine laughed at her own folly but miss tilney grew serious he is very hopeful of finding a cure and leading a perfectly normal life thereafter oh well i am very glad for him then catherine said fretting over her own silliness by now they had reached the allens lodgings and mrs allen appeared at the window waving merrily at them eleanor was tempted to come inside and be introduced though she insisted she must go away directly of course it is nearly sundown and we cannot let you walk all the way back to laura place in the dark mrs allen observed simultaneously admiring the lace and intricate trim of eleanor s day dress but you must stay for dinner what a fine thing cathy for james is to bring guests tonight my old school friend mrs thorpe is in bath and her daughters and your brother james is intimately acquainted with them but surely your father will not object miss tilney miss tilney gently declined catherine pressed mrs allen pressed more and in the end an engagement was formed for the following night instead miss tilney would dine with them at seven in pulteney street and convey the invitation to her invalid brother mr tilney as it happened was very handsome he was fair like his sister and looked no older than eleanor and though his countenance might be called pale his face conveyed such candid affability and mischievous energy as to render him uncommonly good looking he was tall and lean but nothing about his person indicated the slightest detectable ailment his vitality was coupled with impish charm and easy manners ten minutes served to acquaint him so well with his six new friends as to rival a friendship of many years only when they sat down to dinner did catherine recall his illness he waved away the soup with a self deprecating laugh you will think me far older than i appear but i cannot possibly take a morsel of food i hope i do not offend your gracious hospitality mrs allen i am an invalid you see you have come to the right place then sir now he turned to address catherine in particular do you think me very odd miss morland i must regiment my diet ever so carefully until dr bennet can advise me but when i am cured i am sure i shall devour every pheasant quail and pig in the county elizabeth coughed and mr darcy seated at her side quickly patted her back and gestured for her to drink some wine catherine gave her brother a knowing look and he rolled his eyes from further down the table once she had recovered elizabeth asked incredulously dr bennet yes eleanor replied when i asked after your relations yesterday i thought there might be some connection my father is hoping to secure my brother a meeting with dr bennet though i understand he is rather elusive quite in demand i imagine ah well my uncle is a merchant not a physician elizabeth replied catherine happily observed that her cousin and mr darcy now appeared to be holding hands under the table you have not answered my question miss morland do you think me very odd very odd she said with a smirk he held her gaze for a moment suppressing a smile as he pretended to pout i shall make but a poor figure in your journal tomorrow my journal yes i know exactly what you will say sunday dinner at pulteney street appeared much to advantage but was strangely harassed by a queer half witted invalid who refused to eat any of mrs allen s fine fare and distressed me by his nonsense catherine laughed indeed i shall say no such thing shall i tell you what you ought to say if you please i dined with a very agreeable man danced a reel after thought him exceedingly light on his feet and heavy with praise of me seems most an extraordinary genius i hope i may know more of him so i have agreed to join him and his relations at the theatre tomorrow that my dear miss morland is what i wish you to say catherine grinned at him and he laughed at himself smiling at her as though she were the only person in the room catherine felt a warm pleasant sensation spread across her chest a frightening fluttering of her heart she realized she was being flirted with by this exceptionally handsome charming and entirely vital man at last before she could reply mrs allen cried out with excitement but we are already engaged for the theatre tomorrow what a fine thing we are sure to see you there and will you come to the theatre miss bennet mr darcy elizabeth and mr darcy exchanged a look of private conversation before the gentleman answered my sister is not yet out in society and the widow collins is a guest of the house i shall attend elizabeth declared with a look of teasing defiance at mr darcy i should not like to be out very late but i should like to accompany you cathy and cousin james i hope your isabella will be in attendance i believe she will be well mrs allen clapped her hands what a fine thing how very merry we shall be catherine shivered with anticipation and in her mission to live as the heroine from one of her novels she was far from disappointed by the end of the evening she was satisfied enough that she knew she could in all sincerity make exactly the journal entry mr tilney had predicted they spoke of books between themselves at such length even while dancing the promised reel that catherine fell asleep with her head full of romantic scenes between a dashing fair haired hero and a rather lusty heroine who looked remarkably like herself biography jayne bamber is a life long austen fan and a total sucker for costume dramas jayne read her first austen variation as a teenager and has spent more than a decade devouring as many of them as she can this of course has led her to the ultimate conclusion of her addiction writing one herself jayne s favorite austen work is sense and sensibility though sanditon is a strong second despite her love for pride and prejudice jayne realizes that she is no lizzy bennet and is in fact growing up to be mrs bennet more and more each day amazon com link giveaway link thank you so much for stopping by jayne your book sounds like a lot of fun great extract good luck with it by

and extraordinary adventures of miss mary bennet who first made the reader s acquaintance in pride and prejudice by jane austen what if it was mary bennet who was really behind the important events of pride and prejudice in back to the bonnet jennifer duke explores how the story could look from the unique perspective of plain overlooked but clever mary who happens to have inherited a bonnet that allows her to travel in time mary bennet takes matters into her own hands in this hilarious and enjoyable time travelling version of pride and prejudice cressida downing the book analyst this is a sweet treat of a book exciting insightful and enormous fun jane austen s regency world book blurb oh really miss mary he lowered his voice and leant closer does convention hold you back you who deny all conventions of time twisting it from its proper course matrimony is not a destiny that attracts plain but clever miss mary bennet with her family s fortunes threatened by their own foolish mistakes deceptive rogues and the inconvenience of male heirs to her family home the future looks unstable even bleak but mary possesses a secret weapon a bonnet that allows her to travel in time in orchestrating events according to her own inclinations mary takes an unconventional route to protect her family from ruin however she is unprepared for the dark path down which duty and power will lead her in the following excerpt mary discovers another power the bonnet possesses in addition to that of time travel excerpt from volume one chapter two a stitch lost i winced at the shrill laughter coming from kitty and lydia s room their chatter was indistinct however i surmised that they were discussing the new occupant of netherfield park my tidying task done and books on botany anatomy and philosophy chosen i set my mind to reflect upon my observations of the previous evening mr thorpe clearly found novels of the supernatural enjoyable though he attempted several times to persuade us that he did not think much of novels at all he spent much time with kitty but persistently looked about for jane he gave the impression of someone rich but asked pointed questions in an effort to establish what our level of wealth was something a gentleman of means would be unlikely to do if only i could know mr thorpe s mind i said to myself at that moment the door of my closet creaked open several inches i had felt no draught the window was shut and the unmoving trees outside testified to the stillness of the air the closet door opened further and this time the grating of the hinges was accompanied by a sound i could not account for it was as if two fat birds were warbling to one another in a far off tree only the sound came from a pile of blankets and linen i shifted the folded bedclothes out of the way the sounds were coming from the band box i recoiled staring at the lid impossible i said whilst acknowledging that the evidence of my own ears suggested otherwise eventually i drew closer noticing how my heart galloped as i took out the box from the closet placed it on the bed and removed the lid the muffled sound was more akin to human speech now though still quiet taking the bonnet in my hands i hesitated before placing it on my head as soon as it was in place the twittering voices became as clear as if the bodies they came from were in the room with me but do you not agree that it would be a d fine thing it was mr thorpe s voice but after you were married assuming you succeed what do you imagine your wife would think then i recognised this voice too it was mr denny one of lydia s favourite officers well i only intend to get a rich wife as long as she brings money to the marriage she need not care about my lack of it risky way of going about it though thorpe my friend crawford would have had no trouble with the rent he was deuced annoyed with me when he got to hertfordshire upon my own suggestion only to discover that netherfield was no longer available well i m mightily glad i got there first i don t envy you the rent though it need only be for a few months i ve more than enough inheritance for that in any case it s an investment families with rich girls don t seem to favour my sort the aspiring sort indeed so you see it s d logical to pretend to be another sort altogether the landed gentry sort but of course you won t mention any of this to anyone word spreads fast in a small town it s usually you who spreads it if memory serves mr thorpe laughed you know me though a gentleman s business is his own i say i knew i could rely on you denny i could hear other sounds now a there you are sir followed by a clink of china and the laughter of gentlemen in the background mr thorpe was likely at the bull the lodgings used by mr denny and several other officers in meryton he began talking of carriages and horses subjects i did not have the patience to pay attention to i had barely formed this thought when his voice grew muffled as though he were talking from behind a wall then all sound faded from the bonnet perhaps i had imagined it but it appeared as though the bonnet ribbons twitched a few times before hanging limp and still whatever oddness the bonnet exhibited though my priority was to process the truths it had illuminated for me i shook my head my lips pursed you won t get away with this mr thorpe i growled before hurrying down the stairs where are you going miss mary said mrs hill as she carried a tray of toast from the kitchen i d left my usual bonnet in my room hardly realising that i still had great aunt gardiner s in my hands it would have to do i put it on flung on my cloak and shoved my feet into my boots i m going to meryton at this hour what about your breakfast i snatched a couple of slices of toast from the tray i need to see an officer i said not realising how much of a joke it sounded until mrs hill burst out laughing i would have expected to hear such a thing from miss lydia but not you miss mary why only the other day she hill s speech faded failing to compete with the crunch of gravel beneath my feet author bio jennifer duke grew up in basingstoke a town in hampshire england which jane austen visited for shopping and balls when her family lived in the nearby village of steventon loving stories from a very early age and being the second of four sisters jennifer delighted in
