We interrupt this program to bring you an important announcement.

08/23/2011

J. Marie Croft cordially invites you
to travel by post and be her guest
here on August 25, when you may
attend a ball and go on a quest.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

“La di da, la di da … your attendance is requested

At a ball where your detection skill shall be tested.

Wait, what is this? Hold closer the candle.

Stars and garters, there’ll be such a scandal!

Oh, Hill! Hill! Fetch the smelling salts!

The invitation says they’re planning a waltz.

Why were Jane and Elizabeth ever allowed to attend?

Oh, right. We trusted Mr. Darcy and called him friend.

Mr. Bennet! Mr. Bennet! We must hie across Town.

Hill, come upstairs and stuff me into a frilly ball gown."

Will Mr. and Mrs. Bennet arrive in time? Will there be a waltz and a scandal? And why would one need detection skills at a ball? Tune in again here on Thursday, August 25 - same time, same channel - for the continuing story of The Night Their World Whirled, brought to you by our sponsor, Meredith Esparza's Austenesque Extravaganza.

I have been a Nova Scotia resident and an avid reader all my life. I discovered Jane Austen’s works later than others but made up for lost time by devouring her six novels and as many adaptations, sequels, and fan-fiction stories as I could find. In the midst of all that reading, I realized, ‘Hey, perhaps I can do that!’. The rest, as they say, is history ... her-story ... my story ... and that story is titled Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge.
