“Do we go up this one?” Darcy nodded toward Fish Street Hill. One street was beginning to blend into another as the men searched for Lydia and Elizabeth. A fear that they had already been found by someone unsavoury had settled into Darcy’s heart.
Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Poor Darcy thinking the worst. Come on Dash… find Elizabeth and Lydia. Wickham had better find a fast ship leaning England. He has incited the wrath of not only Darcy but our dear Colonel as well. Heaven help him if any harm has come to those girls. There is no ocean wide enough to keep him from their revenge. Well, we know they are safe and sound but still, it is good to see the depth of feeling these men have for our girls.Great picture of the warren of streets our girls had to traverse. Dang that Wickham [scum-bag-rat… well you know].
That would be an “interesting” twist if they were not safe. 😀
