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).

Oh dear. Lady Catherine confronting Lydia. Now that can go many different ways. Lydia is NOT her sister Elizabeth. Where Elizabeth would try to be respectful and still maintain being impertinent, Lydia has no such qualms. She will tell it like it is. I can’t see Lydia backing down on what she wants. Lady Catherine will have her hands full trying to convince Lydia to back off especially when Lydia knows our dear Colonel loves her. She also has the support of Dash. I mean… he is such a gem.
Dash does love Lydia. <3 Personally, I think Elizabeth in canon was not terribly respectful to those who crossed her. She told it like it was to Darcy, to Collins, and to Lady C. She attempted for a short bit to retain control of her tongue but when pushed she let it fly. So, maybe there is more of a similarity between the sisters than expected or perhaps Lydia will react differently than we expect since she's attempting to meet the colonel's approval? 😀 Tomorrow's chapter will tell, I suppose.
I love the story, but what I wanted to comment on was the beauty of the painting. I love visitng art galleries and the realism in this painting jumped out at me. The satin of her dress lookes almost touchable and so realistic in the way light reflects on it. The same with the gilt trim on the stool. It is said that this attention to detail is not often seen in modern works of art. Now they tend to go with a realism that is much darker and less beautiful. At least that is how it seems to me. I will look forward to reading this weeks chapter.
I, too, love the realistic look to everything in the picture. These sorts of paintings are my favourite as they seem to capture the movement and magic of life. The use of light here is wonderful.
