Very much enjoyed reading this, and the last story! Thank you!

Very fascinating. I was wondering how much effect the alterations would make - more or less children, different sexes, differetiming, etc. I have nwords for the new and rather unexpected friendship. Quite different. Wonderful story, thanks for sharing.

I was beginning to wonder when she would become cognizant of her true feelings for him. Beautiful.

Well, that was almost anticlimactic, but not in any way unsatisfying. I expect it was a bit of an eye opening experience for Bingley.

I wondered if she would show. Will Darcy? Wise words to his friend. Hopefully he will consider them.

Love Darcy’s decisiveness and strength of purpose. Nice job of protecting his sister and putting things in Bingley’s court.

In an ideal world, the threat would have been sufficiently neutered. I, however, am not holding my breath. At least Mr. Bennet is behaving more wisely.

The viper is deluded and aiming to strike, whilst Darcy has achieved one of his major goals.

Phew. At least she is beginning to consider his words and her reactions, although it is a bit concerning that she is so quick to attribute it all to lust.

Interesting developments. Not feeling a great deal of sympathy for Collins, or even Lydia. Hopefully her future will not be so bleak.

Definitely sounds as if Darcy is making up ground. He just has to watch his words. Love Elizabeth’s resolutions.

Too bad he was unable to find an opportunity to reassure her.

Ooh, fun. I love that he has so thrown her for a loop.

Wonderful inventive, clever story! Bravo

I have very much enjoyed reading these two stories. The first half of the first story was more difficult because you had so much Caroline in it. She is always annoying and so causes me a bit of angst when she is sewing seeds of discord. I read JAFF for the escape. My profession is fairly stressful so Elizabeth and Darcy are wonderful characters to read. Thank you for sharing your talents and writing witty and wonderful stories. Occasionally you do use abbreviations, that as an American, I don’t understand —Just so you know. Thanks again for fun stories without vulgar language and with interesting and unique plots. This one was especially clever. Kudos to you!
