Duet part 3 — 10 Comments

  1. I really feel for poor Elizabeth and Georgiana! I hope they are soon rescued by the gentlemen. Somebody needs to put that woman in her place and certainly if she continues with her present behaviour, that someone will be Elizabeth!

  2. Mrs Dowding needs a good, public, spanking. Preferably by one whose position she dare not deride. Darcy, perhaps? Banishment to Australia would suffice.

  3. Oh dear. Mrs. Dowding sounds just dreadful. What is her problem? She is just mean. Poor Elizabeth and Georgiana stuck with entertaining her. Elizabeth, I am sure, wanted to toss her from the house. But for Lady Dowding… she didn’t. The poor woman with such a daughter-in-law.

  4. I am somewhat surprised Elizabeth doesn’t use her subtle up braiding skills on Mrs Dowding. She seems a bit out of character here. After all she is Mrs Darcy now, but perhaps because she is , she’s more cautious than she was before marriage? I’d like to see her with more backbone and clever tongue. That’s one of the aspects of her personality that made her interesting in the original. Georgiana seems spot on and appropriate.

    • I think Elizabeth is a little more cautious now. And remember we are seeing all this colored through Georgiana’s perspective, and she may not be an entirely reliable narrator.

  5. Tension you can cut with a knife, I believe the saying goes. Hopefully the men will arrive soon and perhaps the conversation can be diverted to more pleasant subjects. That mother and her daughter-in-law…yikes. Would hate to be in on a family dinner if this is how their relationship plays out in public. And this house party is just beginning with not all the players there? Thanks for this chapter.
