I have someone helping me with my site now to get all of the old backlist chapters posted like my goal was a year ago! Slowly but surely I am getting comfortable with my new life. I am now a single mother. And a writer. And a teacher. And so on. So far, I have to say the best things has been to be the boss of the house now. If I want stinky brussel sprouts, I get to have stinky brussel sprouts!

After a tense dinner monopolized mostly by Mrs. Bennet asking Alistair Darcy to speak on and on about his time in India, Kitty, Georgiana, and Robert skittered away early. The two sexes made a brief separation for all to restore their moods before two footmen awaited in the foyer to lead the procession of guests upstairs to the drawing room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Two magnificent torches, usually reserved for evening carriage arrivals for a ball, were the only light as Lord and Lady Matlock took their precedence, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, and the entire ensemble completed by Uncle Darcy escorting Mrs. Bennet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth relied heavily on her husband&#8217;s arm as she nearly tripped on the steps going up. She could feel Fitzwilliam tense underneath her gasp.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;This is a folly in itself,&#8221; she said, lightheartedly and patted his forearm with her free hand. &#8220;Dark stairs and a woman heavy with child are no mix!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I should have insisted on more light. They wished to set a mood,&#8221; Darcy explained, unhappily. Regrets were of no use as it was too late to remedy the situation without further delay.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Once they reached the two tall double doors to the drawing room, the party came up short. The footmen stood stoically in their posts, minding that the torches did not burn any undesired fuel such as hair, gowns, or wallpaper. Both young men focused singularly as the scale of the light was not suited for indoors, even in a hallway so large as Pemberley&#8217;s grand gallery. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Suddenly, Elizabeth felt someone touch her bum. &#8220;William!&#8221; she exclaimed, a little louder than she had meant.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;My dearest?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth stood on her tiptoes to whisper into his ear that she had felt his hand on her hindquarters. As Mr. Darcy shook his head, she felt a pinch, this time with a prolonged grope added for measure.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I BEG YOUR PARDON&#8221; she roared as she spun around so fast, the culprit had nary time to escape.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;My deepest apologies, Mrs. Darcy!&#8221; Uncle Darcy feigned embarrassment but the flicker of the torch as the footman drew near revealed his smirk. Too angry to speak, Elizabeth protectively cradled her midsection while Mr. Darcy placed himself between his uncle and his wife.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Have you lost your senses, Alistair?&#8221; Darcy challenged. &#8220;I should turn you out this instant!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;An honest mistake, I beg of you. Though a remarkable resemblance.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Elizabeth scoffed at the vulgarity and Mr. Darcy fumed, suddenly the double doors to the drawing room opened, stymying any further physical assault.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">A rousing minuet from the hands of Georgiana Darcy greeted the elder generation of guests. Swiftly, Elizabeth touched her hand to Mr. Darcy\u2019s forearm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Pray, no lasting harm is done. I do not wish to ruin tonight when our sisters have worked so hard.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;A later time, perhaps,&#8221; he muttered.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Precisely.&#8221; Then Elizabeth expertly led them to the assembled chairs so that the Matlocks were between herself and her mother and Uncle Darcy. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lady Matlock glared at Alistair Darcy with the same critical eye she&#8217;d reserved for him since they were all beaux and debutantes themselves. She had never approved of any man who imposed upon a lady. And Alistair Darcy&#8217;s impositions were legendarily fraught with consequences. Unfortunately, it was not her place to chastise him nor counsel Mrs. Darcy on the merits of disciplining an unruly guest in one&#8217;s home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee5f1af elementor-widget elementor-widget-global

towards her husband&#8217;s relations, Elizabeth became captivated by the spectacle of the room. The candlelight had been strategically arranged to produce shifting shadows dancing along the walls. Squinting her eyes, Elizabeth spotted glints and glimmers of colored glass. The shards rhythmically swung in front of each candelabra, hanging by string from the wall sconces.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Oh, William,&#8221; Elizabeth whispered as her husband began to feel some joy again from witnessing his wife&#8217;s discovery of the decor. His hand found hers to give a gentle squeeze just as a low moan bellowed from behind the curtain. Georgiana played a flourishing trill, two chords, and a final staccato single high C. Then silence descended upon the room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Robert Fitzwilliam, the Honorable Viscount Ashborne, leapt onto the makeshift stage, barechested to his breeches and his skin slick with oil. He raised a large conch shell to his lips and blew.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;The devil did he find that?&#8221; Lord Matlock complained. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Hush dear,&#8221; his wife scolded, &#8220;recall Captain Darcy.

And to you mere mortals privileged to witness, consider yourselves fortunate beyond measure to enjoy the world debut of the Supreme, the Divine, and the Beautiful&#8211;&#8221; he paused for dramatic effect as every woman with the title Mrs. before her name held her breath that Robert Fitzwilliam would be so brash,&#8221;writings of Miss Catherine Bennet.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Almost as quickly as he had appeared, Robert was gone, replaced by two maids timidly scooting on stage dressed as fairies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">At first, the two women froze. For too many uncomfortable seconds, no one spoke. A tinkling from the high keys on the pianoforte broke the silence and the maid named Rachel appeared to snap out of her stupor. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;O the wind, the wind! My wings grow weary,&#8221; she croaked out, nudging the fairy next to her. The other maid startled and whispered her line.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As none could hear her, the entire audience leaned forward and Rachel jabbed her fellow actress again.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Mine as well, let us rest here until the wind subsides,&#8221; the second maid said, not performing nearly to the level of the first fairy. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The two maids crumpled to the floor as Kitty burst upon the stage from the center curtain, her skin aglow in metallic powder and a long zephyr-like gown flowing about her form. As she lifted her hands, her long sleeves were attached to the skirts so that they appeared to puff out like a gust of wind.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;What is this? It cannot be. Arise my children of the gale. The ground is not safe.&#8221; Kitty looked over her shoulder to the far corner of the stage as she flitted and floated around the crumpled fairies. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;We cannot. We are too weak. Please, lessen the forces we must fly against.&#8221; Rachel begged, rather convincingly. Kitty gazed lovingly at the fairies and tilted her head to the side.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I dare not. I dare not. Now rise, before it&#8217;s too late!&#8221; Kitty raised her hands again, looking up, as Robert slithered onto the stage, and then stood crouched like a frog. His skin was painted with patches of green and he stared around and around like a crazed person. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I spy two tasty morsels before me. However did I become so lucky?&#8221; he eyed the two weak fairies with an expression of desire. For greater effect, he licked his lips.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Hurry, my children. I will calm the winds briefly, but you must fly!&#8221; Kitty urged.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Rachel rose immediately, but the other maid remained on the ground. Rachel&#8217;s fairy joined the goddess of the wind in her urging.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Lilac, you must not tarry! Listen to Aura!&#8221; Rachel fluttered her arms while the other fairy ignored her. Robert&#8217;s evil frog hopped closer to the fairies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No! This is all of her fault! If she had not tired us out, we would have returned home long ago!&#8221; Lilac complained, as the frog villain edged ever closer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Argue now and you may not argue later! You must fly!&#8221; Rachel&#8217;s fairy insisted.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">But it was too late. To the gasps of the crowd, Robert&#8217;s frog villain tossed a long red ribbon hidden in his hand to simulate a frog&#8217;s tongue, and then used his other arm to cover the fairy Lilac with a black cape before the two rolled off stage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Rachel began to tear up as she turned on Kitty&#8217;s goddess character. &#8220;How could you have allowed such treachery?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Fly, my child, and lean on your own strength. Feel the power in your wings,&#8221; Kitty stage whispered, as the two began to travel around the stage area. Intermittently, set pieces were slid under the curtain and held up to symbolize the distance and terrain around them. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The fairy began to look at both of her arms and flap them with more confidence, their speed increased. The set pieces struggled to keep up and finally a tree constructed from what appeared to be a coat rack with liberal decoration from the hot houses, stood strongly on the far stage right. The same place the villainous frog had appeared earlier.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Rachel bent in a near perfect plie while Kitty&#8217;s character remained a few feet away from the tree, trying to act as though she were still in the air. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;My friend is lost! But I made it home even though we had flown too far. How?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Kitty&#8217;s Goddess of Aura gazed sympathetically at her charge. She reached out a hand, then turned it gently to place her palm up. &#8220;Alas Lilac worried about her toil. But you tried once more and discovered the toil made you stronger. And that, my child, is why the wind blows so hard. So that your wings never fail you when it matters most.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">A second curtain began to fall and Elizabeth Darcy burst into applause. The other guests soon joined and Mrs. Darcy craned her neck to see how such an intricate rigging system for the curtains was managed. Her husband smirked as he watched her and he finally took pity on her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;The head gardener was once a sailor, before he decided land was more fitting than the seas. He helped the footmen rig a system of pulleys for the curtains,&#8221; Mr. Darcy whispered as Elizabeth beamed at him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bqckbar elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bqckbar\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-zhngqtw\" data-id=\"zhngqtw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9frbyfv elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1594 elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9frbyfv\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">NEW RELEASE<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vvcemc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"vvcemc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-zc80rua elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1596 elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"zc80rua\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wip\/for-the-love-of-a-bennet-chapter-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/for-the-love-of-a-bennet-ociwlxbbz8lig0exwxhsw59r5tzz1k63m60yqyx2fo.jpg\" title=\"for the love of a bennet\" alt=\"for the love of a bennet\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-sdicxgm\" data-id=\"sdicxgm\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-unkota7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1598 elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"unkota7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>For the Love of a Bennet<\/strong><\/p><p><span class=\"a-text-italic\"><em>What if Elizabeth Bennet traveled with Lydia to Brighton<\/em>?<\/span><br \/><br \/>A reimagining of Jane Austen&#8217;s most beloved tale,\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">Pride &amp; Prejudice,\u00a0<\/span>join author Elizabeth Ann West as she writes the romantic adventure story she always wanted!

After Mr. Darcy, himself, is summoned to Brighton to hopefully solve two dilemmas with one wealthy member of the gentry, the whole militia is thrown into an uproar by Wickham&#8217;s most dastardly deed, yet.

#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Another hour was spent happily as Kitty, Robert, and Georgiana, with support from a number of maids and other servants, performed each folly to rousing applause. As the performances concluded, candelabras throughout the room were swiftly lit and the actors and audience mingled over port and refreshments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Which one was your favorite? Tell me, oh please!&#8221; Kitty gushed as she came to her sister Elizabeth in her last costume of the night, a pearlescent gown with gold highlights in every trim. Elizabeth could hardly believe how grown up her younger sister appeared, blossoming before her very eyes into such an accomplished young woman.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Well, I admired your ferocity as Aura, Goddess of the Wind, but I must say, your spider in the bee folly was a pure delight,&#8221; Elizabeth explained, her eyes misty as she wished for a moment her father could have seen Kitty&#8217;s triumph. A strong kick in her abdomen reminded her of one guest she did not think about being present, and she laughed. &#8220;I may have enjoyed the bee folly the most, if only because the subject matter was most satisfying.&#8221; Elizabeth gazed past her sister to Alistair Darcy, seemingly attached at the hip to her mother.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Suddenly, a thought crossed Elizabeth&#8217;s mind, and she addressed her sister in a very serious tone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Kitty, would you like to perform your follies for a larger audience?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Kitty nearly choked on her glass of wine. &#8220;A larger audience? I am not sure, that is,&#8221; she turned to catch the attention of Robert Fitzwilliam, who suddenly began to walk towards Kitty. With him close, she felt brave enough to question her sister&#8217;s meaning. &#8220;How large of an audience?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Robert took a protective stance just behind Kitty, and Elizabeth was slightly taken aback by the similarity of care he displayed to how her husband behaved when they were engaged. &#8220;Remember when you came to talk to me about,&#8221; Elizabeth&#8217;s mouth suddenly grew dry as she could not manage to say Lydia&#8217;s name.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Kitty nodded, understanding her sister&#8217;s silence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth took a deep breath and tried again, this time with a forced smile. &#8220;I want to dance. I want to hold a ball before this little one comes and I&#8217;m devoting all of my time to the nursery.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;A ball is a splendid idea! And you&#8217;d wish us to perform for the guests?&#8221; Robert Fitzwilliam spoke loudly enough that his parents and Mr. Darcy took notice of the conversation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Just as Robert had done with Kitty, Elizabeth soon had her own chivalrous knight standing stoically behind her. He leaned forward and whispered, &#8220;Is this wise, my dear, so near to your time?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Spinning around, up on her tiptoes to increase her stature, Elizabeth Darcy addressed her husband with a genuine smile. &#8220;Oh, I cannot speak to the wisdom, but I wish to dance, Fitzwilliam. Here, at Pemberley, with you. Before . . .&#8221; emotion began to niggle in the back of her throat as Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her husband in a rare display of outright affection before their family. Stunned, Mr. Darcy could do naught but embrace her in return as their families looked on.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lady Matlock, realizing the tide could go either way, raised her glass.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;To a ball at Pemberley,&#8221; she said, receiving a rather dashed look from her nephew. This made Lady Matlock chortle. &#8220;Fear nothing, Darcy. Your wife has four willing helpers and your very capable staff. This will be the least stressful ball any mistress of Pemberley has ever thrown.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth released her husband and gave Lady Matlock a grateful look.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Thank you, Aunt Maggie,&#8221; she said, the first time she had bestowed such an endearing term on the woman Elizabeth had most recently been very cross with over her sister Jane&#8217;s experiences in London and Margaret Fitzwilliam&#8217;s covert spying on the London household.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Countess of Matlock nodded and the sexes soon began to part naturally within the large drawing room. The ladies led Mrs. Darcy to a far corner where she could sit and they could begin their plans, while the men surrounded Mr. Darcy. Unfortunately, both Alistair and Robert were much in favor of the diversion, so only Lord Matlock could offer his nephew any sort of commiseration.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vwgeihj elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"vwgeihj\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You&#8217;ve been reading <em>A Spring Society.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-hicuziy elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"hicuziy\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-mwdsbpf\" data-id=\"mwdsbpf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-xwpycdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"xwpycdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/YUMMY-Spring-Society-ni39fm4w7u6yzv9xrv8eio561s22dnzfcv0bmvbu6s.jpg\" title=\"YUMMY Spring Society\" alt=\"YUMMY Spring Society\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-uwugwnl\" data-id=\"uwugwnl\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-wurbwit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"wurbwit\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Book 6 of <em>The Seasons of Serendipity,<\/em> continues to tell the fate of the Bennet family after the death of their patriarch, Mr. Bennet, in Book 1, <em>A Winter Wrong.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p>After a winter of wonders, from a Darcy babe making his growth known to the arrival of Darcy&#8217;s uncle, Alistair Darcy, the Bennet, Darcy, and Fitzwilliams families became further entwined with the engagement of Mary Bennet to Colonel Fitzwilliam.
