Yep, they laughed. Most did. I received a lot of comments and most were very favorable to the glimpse scene. I had always laughed when I read that scene so I was hoping others would own the same kind of sense of humor. And a lot of them do.
but i missed the one issue that was just as important. Darcy making a comment and Lizzy reacting. I should have had Lizzy talk to Jane in the hallway while their parents were talking in the study. Lizzy could have explained her problem. I will go back and fix the chapter at AHA and HG. Cannot go back to DWG so I may have to add a little scene next week to their chapter. It is important to the story. This is why comments are helpful. I see what I missed doing. I explained it in the comment thread but not everyone goes to there.
I promised everyone that I wanted them to smile when they read my story, get angry, cry, go ahhh, feel sadness, and yes laugh. I want to bring out all the emotions from the readers. Of course I like keeping them on pins and needles simply because I like pins and needles stuff myself. lol. But this post was to bring out the heehaws. And I think I did it based on the response.
Next up, Wickham and Collins and then the chapters leading to the finale of the first book. I can't remember how many chapters but it is at least 4 or maybe 5. lol Oh well, it is all climatic once the cad and the simpleton arrive.
well, today is my 3rd wednesday of the month meeting day. I am also going to see a play. And attend a picnic by my theater group. so I am off and away to a busy day. geeze a poet and don't know it!
take care

Gayle,
When I read that seen in the library with D & E, I gasped at the coincidence of what D said! At first I thought "he knew"! Then I thought: if he knew he would not be mentioning it in that cheerful manner you described!
In short, I was totally aware of what was happening and I think if some of your readers did not get it, it is probably the weekly interval that made them miss.
Btw, what you wrote at HG about E,
"I think she wants to prove he is the one that wears that title (intolerable) otherwise she would have to admit he is correct." is the best interpretation of E's behavior I have ever seen!
XOXO

correction: seen should be scene!
