Epilogue

I thought this section was a nice touch to tidy up the loose ends. Although this book is not in my usual reading genre I did enjoy it. I did find have a few spots that were difficult for me to read but continued on and am glad that I did. I have not heard from many of you, but feel free to continue to comment. I am going to start a new book tomorrow. If you like we could read another book or just set it up so you could share reviews of books that you are reading. Let me know what you think??? Ann

Book Six: Gracechurch Street

Well I hope this finds you all well. What a book, so many things are cleared up in this section.... Some of it was easy to see and other parts were a bit far fetched. Honestly I think Darcy is glad to be done with this trail. So much packed in here The Colonel's story of Wickham's actions and his need to assist him in order to protect His and Darcy's interest. Poor Lousia Bidwell to be swindled by Wickham. Wickham's story and finally revelation that Mrs. Younge was his half sister. I am amazed that Wickham and Lydia want to head to the Americas. I thought they would never get off the families backs. Cornbinder's letter, and subsequent meeting with Darcy about the Wickhams desire to move and could he help them. Darcy must feel like he is only important to them for his money. What did you think of the stories in this chapter and there plausibility.

Book Five The Trial

Trials are usually organized chaos with each side getting a turn to state their case. The Darcy's have begun to feel more of the squeeze socially as when in town they would usually stay with Mrs. Hurst but they were not invited as it might taint them. The Darcy's stay with the Gardeners who are happy to host them. In addition to being shunned by social, Darcy realizes no matter the outcome of Wickham's trail they will be closer than they have ever have been, this bothers him so much he begins to regret marring Elizabeth despite the love he has for her and their beautiful children. Wickham tainted the whole experience for everyone he comes in contact with first of all Georgina, Elizabeth, and Lydia. All of whom either loved him or was charmed by him in some way. What did you think of the Testimony and Verdict? Why was Mrs Younge there during the proceedings, do she and Wickham have a secret? What about the surprise at the end of the section? Did anyone see that coming? I must admit I knew a twist was on its way but could not predict the one that occurred. I hope you are all still reading this book!!!

Book Four The Inquest

Well Participants how are you enjoying the book thus far? We have made it to the inquest, by definition this is the pretrial examination of a criminal act. An inquest is suppose to collect information from each witness and the accused. Did you feel that this section of the book was informative enough? In Chapter one I felt the social inquiry and judgements at the church. I see why Darcy is always worried about how it might seem to the community as they are the role model for the rest of the community. The Bingley's go home and take Lydia with them as she and Elizabeth do not get on well. I suppose really if I were the Darcy's I might blame Lydia's need to attempt to show them up as the reason for all this event occurring at Pemberley. We have the meeting in the library where Alverston offers legal help to the two gentleman . Through this section we see everyone involved reflect on the situation, try to stay busy to return to normal but the truth is none of them will as it is too difficult. Bingley is a great friend to Darcy to do some of the difficult things that really can not be done by the Darcy's . Did you feel this section cleared it all up for you? What insights did you all have?
