I gulped it down and was back upstairs to dress for the assembly before my mother could notice that I was absent.  The cabbage, however, would prove to be my downfall. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

But the smell of Mrs. Berry’s bubble and squeak, simmering on the stove for the servants’ dinner, proved too tempting for my nostrils. I helped myself to a bowlful. It was full of cabbage and potatoes and all sorts of delicious things. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

Therefore, I snuck down to the kitchen to see what I might scrounge up. I hoped for some leftover biscuits or scones, perhaps with some preserves to go on top. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

However, my appetite would not rest, my belly growling like a beast within me. Our midday repast felt like it took place a century ago, and I could not fathom waiting until the assembly, knowing there would be naught but canapés and tea. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

Mama always wishes our figures to appear to their best advantage, and tonight, even more so, for we are expected to meet our new neighbor, the eligible, rich, and reportedly handsome Mr. Bingley. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

As a rule, we are not permitted to eat before an assembly, so that we can be laced as snugly as possible into our stays. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF

I was in the middle of a death-clash with a caterer. A rude, self-centered jerk who believed I’d had my life handed to me on a silver platter and seemed to think my wardrobe was a buffet of options for him to insult. #WIPWednesday #ClashingWithTheCaterer #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartB

I love clashes of epic proportion. Who doesn’t love watching two gladiators fight to the death, or a superhero and a villain battling for the fate of Earth?  #WIPWednesday #ClashingWithTheCaterer #WeddingPlannersInLove #partA

What's a favorite book you had to read for school?#conversationstarter #letstalkaboutit #discussion

Yet there are times, I confess, when my spirits lead me to think and act in ways completely contrary to how a young lady ought to comport herself, despite my better knowledge. At times, I simply cannot help myself. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF #PrideAndPrejudiceVariation #PartC

I know that I behave better than my three youngest sisters, whose unchecked free-spiritedness, flirtatiousness, or—in Mary’s case—desire to exhibit herself for want of attention— is frequently a source of shame. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF #PrideAndPrejudiceVariation #PartB

At twenty years of age, I ought to know how to behave like a lady. Certainly, I am not devoid of all manners, as some are. I have been brought up to know my place, to speak well, and to conduct myself with decorum. #WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF #PrideAndPrejudiceVariation #PartA

I’m sure he’s forgotten all about that vow, just like he must have forgotten about me.  Which is why he was the last man in the world I ever expected to be my hero from a web-footed, hat-snatching, fine-feathered fiend. #WIPWednesday #VowsWithTheVineyardOwner #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartC

The summer we were nine, when we sat down by the creek at his grandfather’s vineyard, Ethan and I promised that if we were both still single by the time we were thirty, we would get married. #WIPWednesday #VowsWithTheVineyardOwner #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartB

Some vows are never forgotten. Twenty-one years ago, I made a vow with my best friend. A silly, childish promise, really. #WIPWednesday #VowsWithTheVineyardOwner #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartA

#writingpost. The #customer took an excessively long time choosing his toothpick-case. He must examine all the ones Grey's had to offer, and deliberate carefully. It seemed a matter of utmost importance as a gentleman of fashion. "Goodness, what a coxcomb!" Elinor thought. #Austenesque #JAFF

#Writingprompt Her Ladyship warns of the dangers of #sloth. "Woe to the sluggard, for he shall not eat." Therefore, I toil in my garden. My wife also encourages it. "You must spend as much time outdoors as you can, for your health." She's so thoughtful, my Charlotte. #JAFF #Austenesque #MrCollins

#writingprompt "Heaven on earth! Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?" She thought I would cave to her #pressure. But my courage always rises in the face of intimidation. I smirk at her. "You have insulted me in every possible way and can have nothing further to say." #JAFF #Austenesque

#writingprompt Lydia ran away. She thought it was the #end of her chances with Mr. Darcy. He'd never propose again now. Not when her sister ran off with his nemesis. But a love like his didn't have an #end. He came back. And asked if her feelings had changed since April. #JAFF #Austenesque

#writingprompt He's been meditating on the pleasure a pair of fine eyes on the face of a pretty woman brings. She thinks he means her. To her dismay, it's not. "Elizabeth Bennet! How long has she been such a favourite?" Her #envy grows by the second, her face as green as her gown. #JAFF #Austenesque

#writingprompt She has it all: a title, an estate, a fortune, and a daughter to inherit all. It's not enough. She wants Pemberley. 10k a year, and Mr. Darcy. Through her daughter's marriage, she'll get them. She's planned this since their infancy. Her #greed knows no bounds. #JAFF #Austenesque

#writingprompt He looks disdainfully around the room. Every savage can dance. His #pride is always under good regulation, or so he thinks. He will be humbled by a pair of fine eyes. "She's tolerable," he says, "but not handsome enough to tempt me." #JAFF #Austenesque
