dang Internet this is Posting day

Been losing it all morning. no sooner than I start to type something, the internet connection fails.

Thoughts about today's post:

When you read this morning's post you will realize Rawlings' father is not so bad after all. His brother is a cad but no so for his father.

Did you catch his father's line about taking one final look at him? mmmm. On top of the last toast of the alliance. What does the evil devil authoress have up her sleeve. Is the final look the "final" one ever or just for this day before he leaves? Does it play into the toast? YOu must keep reading.

Why is Darcy always hiding behind his sister? This time he is using her as the reason not to go to Bingley's party. Well if your memory serves you this is the dinner Uncle Watt mentioned to his nephew Bingley about making sure to bring Darcy to the meeting. Next week we will attend the Lunar Society meeting/dinner.

A little business in this chapter although I am now moving from business to relationships again. But cannot skip the trade aspect.

Blake's other uncle - this time Attwood from the financial world is an interesting sort. Blake seems to have three very impressive men in his life: his father the duke, uncle Harrowby the politician and uncle Attwood the financial wizard. Yes both uncles are lords as you would expect a duke's brothers to be. One may even be a brother-in-law to the duke but it is of no consequence so I did not bother to explain who is who. Now you will have wonder how these men play into Blake's future.

You will learn a little more about Kent next week. He attends the Lunar Society Meeting - his uncle Boulton was Bingley's uncle Watt's partner. Hence the two friends knew each other all their lives and that is why they raced carriages.

And finally, a hint of a concern has reared itself in Darcy's mind about Kent and his sister. Now where on earth is this evil devil authoress going with this story line? mmmmmm.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter although it is what some people call transitional. But every scene always has a point that I wish to make and so if you are like realelegance (and thank you for reading my blog) or like FrancesL you will ponder each sentence looking for clues and hidden meanings.

till tomorrow.
