    Summary

    Elizabeth tours Pemberley with the Gardiners a year early, while the Darcys are away at Ramsgate. She is intrigued by the housekeeper's glowing praise of a man who is highly respected by his servants and tenants, and a doting guardian to his much younger sister, not to mention so handsome in his portrait. But when she meets him in person two months later in Hertfordshire, he doesn't quite match Mrs Reynolds' description.

    Summary

    A reimagining of the last chapters of North and South – when Margaret Hale takes things into her own hands. Could this include giving John Thornton an explanation about what he saw near Outwood Station? How will this impact their relationship? What if we could peep a little further into the resolution of their romance?
    Thanks to the North and South read-along with the Weavers and Spinner – which got me to read the text with obsessively close attention!
    Quotations from Gaskell’s text are in italics – apologies if I missed any.
