grange (mr. Darcy's Diary) Continues Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Beginning On Darcy And Elizabeth's Wedding Day And Follows The Two On Their Honeymoon Trip To Paris, The Alps And Venice During A Lull In The Napoleonic Wars. Told From Elizabeth's Point Of View, The Story Is About Her Expanding Horizons As She Leaves The Sheltered Life She Led At Netherfield For Her New World As A Wife And A Traveler Outside England. Darcy's Continued Lack Of Physical Attention To Elizabeth Makes Her Realize That Something Isn't Quite Right, But The Clues Provided In The Text Are Too Subtle For Her To Figure Out His Secret. By The Time Darcy Reveals His True Nature, More Than Two Thirds Of The Way Through The Book, Elizabeth Is Able To Accept His Announcement (which She Sees As Less Disturbing Than Her More Mundane Fears), But Its Impact On The Reader Is Greatly Diluted By The Revealing Title. Grange Manages To Capture The Period In A Manner That Will Appeal To Austen Fans, But Vampire Fans Are Likely To Be Disappointed.

I am afraid. If anything happens to me, remember that I love you and that my spirit will always be with you, though we may never see each other again.
