Hello...

It is a pleasure to be here with you all, far removed from civilization as it may be. (note: I am teasingI am Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn, Hertfordshire. My favorite pasttimes are reading, taking long walks in the country, and laughing at the absurdities in life. My closest friends are my sister Jane and neighbor Charlotte Lucas. I am also a

Welcome, Miss Bennet. I daresay, you are rather behind the times -- I wonder what Mr Darcy will say when he sees you with your maiden name.

I would like to propose a toast to timelines.

[dearest_lizzy]

I was under the impression that Mr. Darcy was newly arrived to this area of the country.

But thank you for the welcome.

[pemberley_pimp]

Yes, and Mr. Bingely and his horrible sister.

[dearest_lizzy]

Oh, I have heard nothing but praise for Mr. Bingley. As for the rest of his company, they have been said to be quite horrid fine and elegant.

[reporter_boy]

Welcome, good lady. If I can be of any assistence, feel free to ask. Despite what I am, I am a good man. I do hope you enjoy yourself here... There are plenty of lovely suitable young men.

[dearest_lizzy]

Yes, there certainly seem to be many agreeable gentlemen here.

[pemberley_pimp]

And what, Ms.Bennet, do you term as agreeable?

[dearest_lizzy]

Why, to be amiable and nothing but pleasantness. It is not hard to do so unless one is too proud and forbidding.

*bows* Welcome, Mlle. Bennet. I daresay Mr. Darcy, aloof though he may be, will be rather pleased to see you.

[dearest_lizzy]

Truly? I have heard him say that I am merely "tolerable". :)

[capital_r]

Truly, mademoiselle. I have no earthly idea how no one could not be pleased to see such a beautiful young woman as yourself grace our community. Why, I daresay you are Grace herself!

- R.

[dearest_lizzy]

Well, I do not know what to say to such high praise, except perhaps that you may have a wonderfully glib tongue, sir!

I certainly hope we will further our newly made acquaintance.

[pemberley_pimp]

Miss, I have become aware of your family from even the first moment I set foot in this remote part of the country. (A country living is enjoyable, but I quite prefer Kent.) Infact, this morning just after I, and the newly-settled Mr. Bingley had partaken in breakfast, who should call upon the house but your father, a Mr. Bennet!

I did not stay for the conversation between the two, but was informed of the unfortunate fact of the position of you and your four sisters (namely that there are so many). As I vaguely understand, you are the second eldest.

I am sure we will see each other more at assemblies and balls, seeing as how this is the only form of entertainment in the country.

[dearest_lizzy]

Well, it is a good thing my papa has visited Mr. Bingley. I shall thank him on behalf of my sanity my mama's nerves.

Assemblies and balls the only form of entertainment in the country? You are mistaken, good sir, for there is always a nice rejuvenating walk out of doors. Or a refreshing dive into the lake. Oh, but we're in the wrong part of the country for that, isn't it? That is something you do in Derbyshire, is it not?

[pemberley_pimp]

What I choose to do and not do,be depressed or not, in Derbyshire is none of your concern Ms. Bennet.

It is Mr.Bingely you should be thanking, Ms.Bennet, for even allowing your father to call without first sending post that he would do so. But your sanity, I cannot take responsiblity for, although I am sure a few less words from your mother would do a world of good for anyone.

[dearest_lizzy]

Note to self: When I become mistress of Pemberley, do not let Darcy forget what he has said about what he may do while in Derbyshire not concerning me.

Welcome, Miss Bennet. My name is Elphaba Thropp. My typist seems to be quite a fan of yours. Indeed, they seem to be doing a dramatized prouction of your story at her school.

I do hope we'll get along. You seem to be a most interesting young woman.

[dearest_lizzy]

Thank you for your welcome. I and my typist are not familiar with your novel, but we shall make it a point to put it on our reading list! I do think we shall get along just fine. :)

[_greenified_]

My story might be a bit after your time, but your typist might be familiar with the highly biased and untrue version of my story... I am the woman known as the "Wicked Witch of the West" in that pile of rubbish some call a novel called "The Wizard of Oz" *snort*"wizard"... right. The true story can be found in the novel "Wicked" written by a most wonderful man named Gregory Maguire. My typist highly recommends it for your typist, and you as well, as she tells me that you are quite an ardent reader, much like herself.

I think so too. From what my typist tells me, you have quite the sense of humor (one can always do with a bit of sarcasm now and then)
