Mrs Bennet is overjoyed at Darcy and Elizabeth's, and Jane and Bingley's marriages. Mr Bennet is happy too, even to the point of leaving home to regularly visit Elizabeth at Pemberly. Jane and Bingley stay in Netherfield house for only a year, they then move up north, within 30 miles of Pemberly. Kitty goes to stay with both sisters often too, and becomes a proper lady, losing most of the bad influences that Lydia taught her. Lydia and Wickham try to get closer to Darcy and Elizabeth, hoping that Darcy will be able to provide them with a fortune. Though Darcy can never have Wickham at Longborne, he does consent to allow Lydia to visit very seldom. Even Lady Catherine, after some time passes, comes back to Darcy's side, wanting to be part of his life again, and being able to put up with Elizabeth. With the Gardiners, Darcy and Elizabeth remain forever close; forever thankful to them for their part in joining the two of them. The End.

She is frustrated that he didn't talk to her. Jane comes to her and too gets frustrated, but at her sister for teasing her, saying that Bingley will fall in love with her all over again. On Tuesday, the two men come to dine for lunch, and Bingley goes to sit by Jane. Darcy sits by her mother. Elizabeth doesn't talk too much throughout the dinner, but constantly watches Mr Darcy, though she cannot hear what her mother is saying to him. Elizabeth just hopes that her mother does not place the negative thoughts about her family back into Darcy's head. In the drawing room following the dinner, Elizabeth gets swamped by a group of women who won't let Darcy get close enough to sit with her for tea and coffee. She starts to lament that Darcy, after being refused by her, would never love her again. Thankfully the two are able to have a small exchange, when he brings back his coffee cup, but the moment doesn't last long before he just stands by her in silence before the cards tables are brought out. After cards, the men head back to Netherfield, leaving Mrs Bennet alone to faun over Jane and her interactions with Bingley over the course of the day.

Pride and Prejudice audiobook Chapter 53 - Romantic Sleep Story with Stephanie Poppins #prideandprejudice #stephaniepoppins #romance #sleepstory #asmrsleep Sleep stories with Steph These Bedtime Tales guarantee a smooth transition onto a great night's sleep Published by Neworld Books UK Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was first published in 1813 and is a classic romantic novel set in early 19th-century England. The story revolves around the spirited Elizabeth Bennet and the proud Mr. Darcy, exploring the complexities of love, class, and social expectations. Against the backdrop of the English countryside and the drawing rooms of the landed gentry, Austen skillfully crafts a narrative that satirizes the societal norms of the time while portraying the individual growth and romantic entanglements of its characters. The novel is deeply embedded in the historical context of the Regency era, offering a keen insight into social hierarchy, marriage expectations, and gender roles of the time. Through Elizabeth's sharp wit and Darcy's initial aloofness, Austen presents a nuanced exploration of personal prejudices and the importance of self-awareness in matters of the heart. In this episode, a letter arrives from Mr. Collins. He offers condolences, but spends most of the letter underlining how Lydia's heinous offense will ruin the other sisters' chances on making a good match. In this episode, When Wickham and Lydia leave, Mrs. Bennet hears rumours that Bingley is returning to Netherfield. But Mr. Bennet refuses to visit him.

Darcy however has been looking for her, and hands her a letter before leaving immediately. Elizabeth's curiosity gets the better of her and she opens the letter. Darcy firstly states that he isn't going to propose again in this letter, and secondly states that he is going to answer the accusations that she lay at his feet the previous night. He explains that he did split up Bingley and Jane and lays out his reasons for doing so; primarily believing that Jane did not reciprocate the feelings in the same way to Bingley. On coming to understand that the Bingley girls felt the same as he did, they resolved to keep Bingley apart from Jane, removing him from Netherfield and convincing him that Jane did not care for him the way he cared for her.On the matter of Mr Wickham, Darcy tells his side of the story. Mr Wickham was indeed a favourite of the Late Mr Darcy and was sent to school by him. Wickham was supposed to attend a seminary, and join the church, but Darcy knew Wickham better and knew that he wasn't meant for the church. Wickham wants to study law, and after a while of silence, got back in touch with Darcy. Wickham was in dire straits and came to ask for Darcy to let him back into the church. On the refusal, Wickham left for several years. Darcy's sister then moved to London with her governess and was put in contact with Wickham who wooed her for her money and tried to elope with her. Darcy found out at the last moment and put an end to it and protected his sister from a charlatan, Mr Wickham. Darcy ends his letter by telling Elizabeth that she can ask Colonel Fitzwilliam to confirm Darcy's claims about Wickham.

Elizabeth takes it upon herself to ask Darcy about the departure of Mr Bingley and all from Netherfield, and the rumour that he shall never return.

Elizabeth has been hoping to dance the night away with Mr Wickham, but on her arrival she is informed that he is not there. Disappointed, she tries to not let it ruin her evening. She sadly has her first dance with Mr Collins and as soon as it it over she rushes back to her friend Charlotte. While talking to her, she is invited to dance by a tall gentleman, and before she realises who it is, she has said yes to dancing with Darcy. While they dance, she tries to spark some conversation and though he is reluctant to talk, the topic of Mr Wickham comes up. Darcy denies having done him any wrong, and advises Jane to stay away from him, as he knows Wickham a lot better than she does. They have 2 dances together and afterwards Elizabeth is certain that Darcy is just as pompous as she thought. As the dancing finishes and Dinner is served, Mrs Bennet is talking loudly and Drunkenly to Lady Lucas about the expected wedding between Mr Bingley and her daughter Jane, and despite all of Elizabeth's will to have her be quiet, she just talks on and on, much to the shock of both Elizabeth and Darcy, who is sitting across from them. As the night goes on, the younger Bennet girls and Mrs Bennet continue to embarrass the family, and Mr Collins though long speeches tries to make an acquaintance of Darcy. As the night comes to an end, Elizabeth is very vexed, and her family has done a very good job of embarrassing her and the Bennet household.Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Jane further goes to say that she doesn't believe that everyone else at Netherfield house could be fooled by Darcy if he is indeed so cruel. During this conversation Mr Bingley and his sisters come to Longborne to give an invitation to the ball which is to take place on the coming Tuesday. Everyone is incredibly excited for the ball, and Elizabeth can't help but to think of dancing the evening away with Mr. Wickham.

Next to the fire, the bennet girls, miss Bingley, and Mrs Hurst talk with surprising humour and good spirits. When the men enter, all attention is diverted to them with Mr Bingley making his way directly to Jane. Darcy takes up a book, and miss Bingley feigns to read next to him while plaguing him with questions that he ignores. Bored, Miss Bingley tells her brother that he should reconsider holding a ball at Netherfield, as certain people would prefer that it didn't happen. Bingley says that all is settled. Miss Bennet stands up to walk around the room and show off her figure but fails to get the attention of Mr Darcy. She then asks Elizabeth to walk with her, and on her ascension, Darcy looks away from his book. Miss Bennet asks him to join them but he refuses, saying that he knows what game she is playing. Elizabeth and Miss Bennet have a conversation where it comes about that Darcy isn't to be laughed at. Elizabeth is shocked at this as she loves to laugh which causes Mr Darcy to interject, stating the Miss Bennet has misinformed her. Darcy claims that he has tried to move away from anything that could be considered ridiculous but claims still that he has flaws and he goes on to list them. This conversation goes on for a while and Miss Bennet, bored at not being included tells her sister to play some music instead, which Darcy is thankful for.

Though Jane is sick, as she is not too sick, Mrs Bennet is not fussed about her getting well soon; the longer she stays at Netherfield, the more closely she and Mr Bingley will become. Mrs Bennet appologises to Bingley for her daughters imposing on him, but he says it is nothing. She then asks if he is planning on leaving the house any time soon. Bingley replies that he does not know, that he is very “in the moment” and that he lets his feelings guide him. Mrs Bennet then talks to him about the country and asks him if he prefers it to the city. Again, he does not know; he prefers where he is at a specific time. Darcy slights the country, saying that there are a limited number of interesting people. Mrs Better argues with him about this, and though Elizabeth tries to save him from her mother, she still talks ill of Darcy's beliefs. Eventually, the Bennet women leave, but not without the youngest daughters asking Mr Bingley if he will keep his promise to hold a ball at Netherfield. He will.Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Elizabeth approves of Jane's fancying of Bingley, saying that she has never before liked anyone that wasn't a bad choice for her. They then discuss the sisters of Mr Bingley, and though she is uncertain of their characters, Jane seems very fond of them. It is assumed that Bingley will eventually move full time to the area, and sooner rather than later as he took Netherfield house after seeing it for little more than 30 minutes. More is discussed of Darcy and Bingley's relationship. Darcy is clearly the superior of the two, not only in rank, but in intellect.

Elizabeth continues on her walks in the countryside, but is constantly surprised by Darcy. He insists on spending time with her, even though their talks are not very stimulating. Elizabeth predicts he is measuring her as a potential match for Fitzwilliam. One day, Fitzwilliam surprises Elizabeth on her walk instead. Fitzwilliam brings up the topic of marriage - stating because he is a younger son, he must consider a woman's wealth - much like Wickham. He also tells Elizabeth of Darcy's recent excursion in Netherfield, where he influenced Bingley to leave in order to avoid an “imprudent marriage,” unbeknownst to him that he was speaking of Elizabeth's sister. Thus, Fitzwilliam confirms Elizabeth's fear that it was Bingley's friends who forced him away and caused such sadness in Jane. Darcy admits his love for Elizabeth and extends an offer of marriage. Elizabeth rejects the proposal and their conversation becomes heated. Darcy, hurt by the rejection, and Elizabeth angered that Darcy broke up Bingley and Elizabeth - which Darcy now confirms himself. Darcy continues to tell her that he loves her, despite all her shortcomings - but this upsets Elizabeth more. After he leaves, Elizabeth can't help but to cry and feel a tinge of regret, if only Darcy weren't so prideful. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production. Listen away.

Sir William Lucas departs, but Elizabeth and Mariah remain guests of Charlotte. Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, call upon Lady de Bourgh and suddenly Elizabeth finds herself spending more time with Darcy. But it's Fitzwilliam who takes a liking to Elizabeth as the two talk about books and music. Lady Catherine inserts herself into their conversation - constantly critiquing how women should practice music and criticizing Elizabeth and Charlotte for not playing music enough. One dinner, Fitzwilliam asks Elizabeth to play the piano. Lady Catherine disrespects Elizabeth by holding a conversation with Darcy while she plays. Darcy gets up from the conversation to join Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam at the piano. Elizabeth believes Darcy is intimidating her and retaliates by describing Darcy's lack of manners to Fitzwilliam. Later during his visit, Darcy calls upon the Collins home while everyone is out save for Elizabeth. Much to her surprise, Darcy stays and the two engage in an awkward conversation. Elizabeth inquires about his leaving Netherfield so abruptly and Darcy confirms he doesn't think Bingley will return. After this odd visit, Charlotte states Darcy must be in love with Elizabeth!

Our next episode unfolds the drama of heartbreak and denials, as Elizabeth and her family grapple with Charlotte's engagement to Sir William Lucas. This loveless union sews seeds of discomfort and casts an incredulous shadow on the Bennet household. The usually uproarious Mrs. Bennet is left stunned, refusing to believe the news, while her daughters reflect varied opinions on the match. In Elizabeth's eyes, Charlotte's decision undeniably shakes their friendship, creating a rift that seems unbridgeable.On the other hand, our gentleman, Mr. Bennet, amused by the foolishness of all, indulges in a dry humor that never misses its mark. Throughout all this, the absence of Bingley haunts the Bennet sisters. His rumored neglect to visit Netherfield for the entire winter becomes a point of constant ire, particularly for the ardent Mrs. Bennet.The following events shatter the last straw of hope, as Jane receives a letter from Caroline Bingley, confirming they have indeed settled in London for the winter. We begin to see darker clouds of heartbreak gather as the dream of Jane and Bingley's union seems to drift further away. Miss Darcy takes centre stage in Caroline's letter as a symbol of the increasing estrangement and a poignant source of distress for Jane. Elizabeth is pained watching her sister suffer and we see a deep admiration for Jane's grace and strength in the wake of such disappointment. Yet she's also firm in her condemnation of Mr. Bingley's persuadable nature and the meddling of his sisters. Meanwhile, Mr. Bennet, ever the droll wit, opts for teasing levity to colour the situation.
In Chapter 21, we find the lingering echoes of Mr. Collins' refused proposal still reverberating around the halls of Longbourn. Elizabeth must nurse the discomforts of unwanted attentions while her mother remains consistently ill-tempered. What follows is a series of heart-laden revelations and the shuffling of social dynamics. The elusive Mr. Wickham makes his appearance yet again, confessing to Elizabeth his self-imposed absence from the Netherfield ball to avoid an unpleasant encounter with Mr. Darcy. Just when the Bennet sisters catch their breath following Wickham's voluntary acknowledgement of his past, a letter arrives from Caroline Bingley herself, foretelling the sudden departure of the Bingley party from Netherfield. This transmission leads to a flurry of emotions among the Bennet household, particularly between the close-knit Elizabeth and Jane. The latter finds herself conflicted between Caroline's carefully crafted insinuations of her brother's fondness for someone else, and Elizabeth's firm belief of Jane being the true object of Mr. Bingley's affections.In Chapter 22, we join the Bennet family dining with the Lucases, embroiled yet again in the insufferable Mr. Collins. In a startling turn of events, Mr. Collins, defying past humiliations, boldly places his heart on the matrimonial card table, gambling it in the hopes of winning the hand of Miss Lucas. Elizabeth, great friend to Charlotte, is left utterly astonished when Miss Lucas not only accepts his offer, but also seems unperturbed by her impending domestic misery.
We encounter Elizabeth confiding in her level-headed sister Jane, laying bare the intriguing interaction that took place between Mr. Wickham and herself. Jane, the eternal optimist, struggles to untangle the thread of dishonour born of her faith in the inherent goodness of man. She finds herself shaken; her belief in unimpeachable character wavers as her heart battles to defend the image of Mr. Darcy, contrasted starkly against the amiable Mr. Wickham.Next, we step into the drawing-room at Netherfield, a stage set meticulously for the interplay of society's expectations and silent, raw human desires. Here, we accompany our ever-endearing heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, as she locks herself in anticipation, hoping to encounter the charming Mr. Wickham bathing in the sea of red coats. Wickham's absence, however, sets the trajectory of her heart askew, directing all her latent displeasure towards the seemingly unjustifiable Mr. Darcy.This chapter is a haven of the understated, and Austen's genius foreshadows the banal and profound. Candour and subtext coalesce as we witness Elizabeth caught in a whirlwind of emotions: her acute disappointment, her escalating dismay, and her decision to shield herself from Mr. Darcy. Yet, as we observe how quickly her spirits regain their equilibrium, we catch a gleaming glimpse of Elizabeth's unassailable resilience.This chapter ushers in a breath of understanding as Elizabeth dances with Darcy himself and encounters snippets of his concealed character. Despite the surprise, the looming dread, and the assumed lack of congenial companionship, an unforeseen dialogue evolves between them, propelled by an undercurrent of curiosity, judgement, and an irresistible allure they are yet to comprehend fully.
As we delve deeper into the world Jane Austen painted so vividly, we open these chapters with an intimate scene in the drawing-room. Miss Elizabeth Bennet has joined her sister Jane, renowned for her unmatched beauty and sweetness, under the careful watch of their two dear friends. The ladies, revelling in their shared company, engage in spirited conversation with a wit and charm rarely found in their societal circles, becoming increasingly agreeable with each passing moment.However, the tranquillity of this feminine world is slightly disturbed upon the arrival of the gentlemen. A shift in attention occurs, and romantic hopes flutter anew with Miss Bingley's eyes instantly drawn to the elusive Mr. Darcy. Despite her persistent efforts to draw his attention, Darcy remains unfettered, his focus on the enchanting Elizabeth Bennet. The beauty of this complex dance of attraction and repulsion is perfectly captured when later, in a bold move orchestrated by Miss Bingley, Elizabeth embarks on a casual stroll around the room, causing Darcy to lay down his book, gripped by the novelty of the situation.An intriguing shift takes place in the following chapter, where Elizabeth, tired of her stay at Netherfield, insists Jane on borrowing Mr. Bingley's carriage to return home – a proposition that is met with concern and resistance, especially from the smitten Mr. Bingley.Finally, we take leave of this fascinating web of interactions and emotions at Netherfield, returning to the to the comfort of Longbourn, a home that, in the absence of Jane and Elizabeth, had lost some of its spark and vivacity.
Chapter Nine takes us to the sickroom of Jane Bennet at Netherfield, where she is attended dutifully by her sister, Elizabeth. A letter is requested to summon their mother, Mrs. Bennet, who arrives with her two youngest daughters – girlish personas dancing with naïve innocence, yet riding on a wave of inappropriate behaviour that submerges the boundaries of social decorum.The entries of the affable, yet slightly flippant, Mr. Bingley, his steadfast confidante Mr. Darcy, and the two elegant, albeit snobbish, Bingley sisters illumine the canvas of Austen's characterization. Much conversation, laced with the hidden implications, revolves around Jane's condition, and the seemingly ambiguous sincerity of the Netherfield party.On the stage of this charming breakfast parlour, we witness the interplay of sarcasm, veiled contempt, genuine amusement, and some intriguing dialogues around understanding and offering judgment of character, as they are envisaged by Elizabeth and Darcy. Themes of societal expectations, class prejudices, and judgements play their parts subtly in charming dialogues and society chatter.But Austen does not leave all smiles and agreement in her wake. Underneath the verbal banter and light-hearted engagements of the breakfast palor, the seeds of understanding, or perhaps misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Darcy are sown. Their differing perspectives on people, societies, the quiet corners of the countryside, and the bustling labyrinth of the town begin to unfold, and we get our first glimpses of the undercurrents that are to carry the tale on its course.Chapter Ten drifts along with more of the everyday living. In a world where letters are written, games are played, music waltzes through the halls, and society gossips seep through the seams of genteel behaviour. It's within these mundane activities, that we see the silent workings of admiration, jealousy, and desire with an overlay of denial and struggle.
Hearkening to the sharp wit and incisive social commentary unique to Austen, we learn more of the precarious financial situation of the Bennets, crafted by the setbacks of an estate entailed and a maternal fortune insufficient to secure the future of their five daughters.As this chapter unfolds, much is revealed to us, the dwellers in the village of Meryton, about the Bennet family and its fondness for paying regular visits to their Aunt Philips and the nearby millinery. The younger daughters, Catherine and Lydia, who are particularly drawn to this pastime, are energized by the regiment's recent establishment in Meryton, delighting in the officers' names and connections.As the young ladies revel in their newfound social circle, the patriarch of the family, Mr. Bennet, critiques their silliness, sparking a humorous discourse on the girls' sense and the adults' shared past affections for uniforms. While the talk of officers and red coats continues, an unexpected invitation for Jane to dine in Netherfield interrupts the peaceful morning and sets in motion a string of events that further intertwine the lives of the Bennets and the Bingleys.Guided by cunning maternal instincts and a potential loom of rain, Jane sets off towards Netherfield on horseback. As expected, our dear heroine Elizabeth, concerned for her sister's health after a rain-soaked journey, decides to visit Jane on foot, navigating through the dirt and puddles in true Austen heroine fashion.The unexpected arrival of a muddy Elizabeth astounds the Bingley household, but in true narrative irony, it causes her to find favor in Bingley's eyes. Her reception, however, is less warm from his sisters and the aloof Mr. Darcy. However, due to Jane's illness, Elizabeth is invited to linger longer at Netherfield, much to her own relief and her mother's delight.
In this episode, we engage with the socially amiable Sir William Lucas and his family, who live in all their knightly pride and ample entitlement at Lucas Lodge. Despite the pomp, there is an understated charm to Sir William, a product of humility gently carved by his past as a tradesman. His family forms a pleasant foil to our Bennets, with a particular focus on the Lucases' eldest daughter Charlotte, a sensible friend and confidante for Elizabeth Bennet.There is much talk about a recently held ball with the central topic being perhaps the most deciding factor of our story, Mr. Bingley's preference of Jane Bennet. The nuances of Mr. Bingley and Jane Bennet's budding affection are speculated and scrutinised, with the notably infamous Mr. Darcy, despite his disregard for social pleasantries, begins to trickle into the canvas of our primary concern. The initial impressions and opinions regarding the family of Netherfield give way to deeper interactions and recurring visits. Bingley's admiration for the eldest Bennet becomes increasingly obvious, though not to the eyes of society at large - Jane's strength of feeling and composed manner skilfully disguises her burgeoning affections.We are also privy to a rather candid discussion between Elizabeth and Charlotte concerning the strengths and pitfalls of concealing one's affections in the game of love and courtship. Little do they suspect the unexpected turn of events they are about to encounter.For, indeed, Elizabeth unknowingly begins to occupy a corner of Mr. Darcy's mind, a place she presently shares with unaesthetic opinions of her appearance and manners. Yet, entirely unbeknown to her, the aspects that were once subjects of criticism become, oddly enough, sources of attraction for our leading man.
Mr. Collins and Charlotte become engaged. Charlotte is happy with Collins, as the marriage will offer her a comfortable life. Elizabeth is less happy for her friend, who thinks she is missing out on the happiness of love. Elizabeth sees Wickham again and introduces him to her parents. Jane receives a letter from Caroline Bingley informing her that their party has returned to town and will not be returning to Netherfield. The letter also implies that Bingley will soon be courting Darcy's sister, Georgina. Elizabeth tries to reassure her sister that she shouldn't give up on Bingley. But after not hearing from Bingley for some time, Elizabeth does begin to worry Jane may lose Bingley's love due to the society he keeps: Darcy, his sisters, and the city.

When Elizabeth tells Jane of Mr. Wickham's claims, Jane is surprised to hear them and cannot believe Darcy would be so cruel - he is, afterall, good friends with Bingley. The girls receive an invitation to a ball at Netherfield. Elizabeth looks forward to dancing with Wickham but is disappointed to hear he will not attend the ball - she blames this on Darcy. Collins takes Elizabeth for the first two dances before she finds herself dancing with Darcy. They have an awkward conversation before they part. Caroline Bingley then approaches Elizabeth about Wickham - claiming Wickham is the one with horrible manners, not Darcy. Elizabeth cannot believe this! But Jane corroborates Caroline's story, saying Bingley believe's Darcy's side. Elizabeth is not convinced as Bingley does not know Wickham personally and is only hearing one side of the story. Mrs. Bennett speaks of Jane and Bingley's courtship as if they are already engaged. Her confidence in the manner embarrasses Elizabeth which is worsened when her sister Mary plays awful piano.

Much to Mrs. Bennet's dismay, Jane and Elizabeth leave Netherfield. Elizabeth and Darcy are delighted to part, as Elizabeth is to finally return home and Darcy hopes to relieve some of his attraction to Lizzie. Upon arriving home, Mr. Bennett announces that the family will be receiving a relative for dinner: a Mr. Collins. Collins is set to inherit the estate upon Mr. Bennett's passing and would have the right to evict Mrs. Bennett and her daughters. This causes much distress for Mrs. Bennet but Collins ensures her he is there to make peace with the family. Collins is a clergyman, set up at a parish by a wealthy Lady Catherine de Bourgh. After dinner, Collins winces at the idea of reading a novel. Instead, he opts to read sermons to the girls only to be interrupted, thus ending his evening with a game of backgammon with Mr. Bennett.

Elizabeth spends the evening with the Bingleys and Darcy. The Bingley sisters make quiet comments on Elizabeth's muddied dress from the walk and on her family's lack of money, all of which make her an undesirable match. After dinner, the others play cards while Elizabeth opts to read. Caroline Bingley praises Darcy on the beauty of his library at Pemberley and the accomplishments of his sister. The group discusses what defines an accomplished woman and Elizabeth, after hearing the long list, is surprised that any woman should meet the status. The next morning, Mrs. Bennett and Lydia call to check on Jane. While Mrs. Bennett knows Jane's illness is not dire, she insists she stay at Netherfield with the Bingleys. Lydia reminds Mr. Bingley that he promised to throw a ball - which he will, when Jane recovers. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production. Listen away.
