Welcome to my blog, where I share my love of books, travelling, cats and other things... but mainly books!
An avid bookworm since childhood, I write the sort of stories I love to read – heart-warming, character driven and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, I find places inspiring and the setting of my novels often becomes as much a part of the story as the characters.
I lean heavily towards the upbeat and insist on a happy ever after. As one of my favourite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, ‘let other pens dwell on guilt and misery’.
I love travelling, words, cats and wine but never in the same glass, and I currently split my time between Switzerland, where I live with my husband and imaginary cats, and England, where I live with my characters.
Well, things are moving forward with the Colonel aware of Darcy’s situation and determined to help and now with Frederick conscious. Even though he might be mistaken about the engagement the fact that he doesn’t speak against it gives Anne some hope that his attachment has not died. Thanks for this chapter.

The Captain seems to be doing better and Elizabeth is right about not telling him the truth. I just wish she was right with her opinion of the Darcys.
Hopefully the Colonel brought his magic wand with him, he can dispose of Elliot and his despicable daughter, make sure Elizabeth knows the truth of Wickham and convince her she loves Darcy as much as he loves her?

Elizabeth will come around now her eyes are opening to Darcy. She just needs to find out about Wickham! Ooh, the colonel as a wizard! Now that’s a thought!

Everyone seems to be stuck right now. We need to shake things up — maybe, everyone should pack up and get out of Dodge. LOL I’m on tenterhooks waiting for a resolution.

While I don’t think deceiving the captain is right, I do know that it’s best under the circumstances. I don’t know how he’ll react when his memory returns. It’s obvious of Anne’s feelings for him.

Yes, it’s not ideal going along with his illusion, but if he is still resentful (as in the novel), then it would be really hard for him to handle, because he’s trapped in the house for a while and wouldn’t be able to walk away to process it.

I hope that Richard can get Darcy out if this mess with the Elliots. Maybe the awful father/daughter duo will be more impressed with the second son of an Earl and agree to leave Darcy alone.

I think Darcy has a chance now that Richard can help him think through the mess! And we all know that Richard is rather untraditional in his ways of thinking 🤣😅

Poor Darcy. He must feel like he is being strangled. I would love for him to speak with Elizabeth again, but maybe that won’t happen. I wonder if the colonel will shed any light for Lizzy. Hmmm.
