I gulped it down and was back upstairs to dress for the assembly before my mother could notice that I was absent.
The cabbage, however, would prove to be my downfall.

But the smell of Mrs. Berry’s bubble and squeak, simmering on the stove for the servants’ dinner, proved too tempting for my nostrils. I helped myself to a bowlful. It was full of cabbage and potatoes and all sorts of delicious things.

Therefore, I snuck down to the kitchen to see what I might scrounge up. I hoped for some leftover biscuits or scones, perhaps with some preserves to go on top.

However, my appetite would not rest, my belly growling like a beast within me. Our midday repast felt like it took place a century ago, and I could not fathom waiting until the assembly, knowing there would be naught but canapés and tea.
#WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF
Mama always wishes our figures to appear to their best advantage, and tonight, even more so, for we are expected to meet our new neighbor, the eligible, rich, and reportedly handsome Mr. Bingley.
#WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF
As a rule, we are not permitted to eat before an assembly, so that we can be laced as snugly as possible into our stays.

I was in the middle of a death-clash with a caterer. A rude, self-centered jerk who believed I’d had my life handed to me on a silver platter and seemed to think my wardrobe was a buffet of options for him to insult.
#WIPWednesday #ClashingWithTheCaterer #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartB
I love clashes of epic proportion. Who doesn’t love watching two gladiators fight to the death, or a superhero and a villain battling for the fate of Earth?

What's a favorite book you had to read for school?#conversationstarter #letstalkaboutit #discussion
Yet there are times, I confess, when my spirits lead me to think and act in ways completely contrary to how a young lady ought to comport herself, despite my better knowledge. At times, I simply cannot help myself.
#WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF #PrideAndPrejudiceVariation #PartC
I know that I behave better than my three youngest sisters, whose unchecked free-spiritedness, flirtatiousness, or—in Mary’s case—desire to exhibit herself for want of attention— is frequently a source of shame.
#WIPWednesday #AllTheThingsALadyShouldNotDo #JAFF #PrideAndPrejudiceVariation #PartB
At twenty years of age, I ought to know how to behave like a lady. Certainly, I am not devoid of all manners, as some are. I have been brought up to know my place, to speak well, and to conduct myself with decorum.

I’m sure he’s forgotten all about that vow, just like he must have forgotten about me.
Which is why he was the last man in the world I ever expected to be my hero from a web-footed, hat-snatching, fine-feathered fiend.

The summer we were nine, when we sat down by the creek at his grandfather’s vineyard, Ethan and I promised that if we were both still single by the time we were thirty, we would get married.
#WIPWednesday #VowsWithTheVineyardOwner #WeddingPlannersInLove #PartB
Some vows are never forgotten. Twenty-one years ago, I made a vow with my best friend. A silly, childish promise, really.

I love how Austen spent the time describing a seemingly insignificant unnamed character in that scene only for him to turn out to be the plot twist of the whole thing later on. #genius #chekovsgun
#writingpost. The #customer took an excessively long time choosing his toothpick-case. He must examine all the ones Grey's had to offer, and deliberate carefully. It seemed a matter of utmost importance as a gentleman of fashion. "Goodness, what a coxcomb!" Elinor thought. #Austenesque #JAFF
