Love Letters From Mr Darcy – J Dawn King

The immediate deprivation of comfort disturbed her composure as if a bolt of energy had left her unwillingly. She glanced at Mr. Darcy’s face to see if he had noticed and saw he, too, appeared to have felt the loss. Within minutes, the colonel, Mr. Darcy, and Charlotte were gone, leaving Elizabeth in the parlour with Mr. Collins. The opened door signaled the departure of their company and reflected the dark hole Elizabeth felt inside.

Honesty demanded she admit to herself that it was not the colonel and Charlotte who had taken the life out of the room. “Lady Catherine most assuredly requires my services. I would not want to fail her in her hour of need.” Her father’s cousin stood mumbling in the middle of the room, wringing his hands, uncertain of the correct course he should follow.

“However, it was not me she asked for. My dear Charlotte will be a comfort to her and a help to Miss de Bourgh.” “I am sure she shall.” She sought to reassure him as he suddenly appeared like a lost boy, looking for someone to point him home. “You are undoubtedly correct, Cousin Elizabeth. There is not another woman quite like my Charlotte, though I would be there to support her if I could.

She is not as aware of the intricacies of Lady Catherine’s household as I, and I would despise myself forever should this lack cause Lady Catherine distress under these circumstances.” His response told her more than words how unsettled he was at not being invited to help Lady Catherine. Elizabeth was pleased he was not trying to presume on his patroness and was surprised at his not doing so. She was learning, again, that her initial judgements of her abilities to accurately sketch the character of a man was skewed to the point of being non-existent.

She shook her head, disappointment at herself flooding her from head to toe. When will she learn? “Oh, heavens, no!” Elizabeth was curious at his outburst and watched Mr. Collins stumble to the corner where Charlotte had been sitting. “My dear wife dropped her shawl.” He held the fabric up for Elizabeth’s inspection. “This was my gift in appreciation for her accepting my hand.

She has not gone an evening without wearing it on her shoulders.” He held his hands up in the air. “Charlotte will fret if she does not have it.” Elizabeth could see his concern was genuine. Again, she was reminded of her friend’s words of commendation for her husband’s admiration.

Especially, thank you to my daughter, Jennifer Joy, for pushing, prodding, erasing, cutting and pasting, and championing me especially when I needed it. Two extraordinary readers saw me through one of the most trying times of this process—Sheila and Gail. Kind words, encouragement, and brownies helped me successfully reach “The End”. Finally, to all the readers who were waiting impatiently for another chapter of Mr. Darcy’s Mail-Order Bride while I finished this, blame it on the muse.

It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed.

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” Elizabeth’s astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured, doubted, and was silent. This he considered sufficient encouragement, and the avowal of all that he felt and had long felt for her immediately followed. He spoke well, but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed, and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority — of its being a degradation — of the family obstacles which judgement had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his suit.
