this Group Read.

I would like to thank all of you for your really wonderful insights and comments: I've really enjoyed reading them and laughing along with you at some of JA's crazed flights of fancy...( not to mention her polished use of an ever-so-slightly poisoned pen :-D )

This has been a fun little side-community of Pemberly- a hamlet?-to inhabit for a week, and a good excuse to avoid many Christmas related chores( or at least put then on the back burner!)

Hopefully, we will try to get though a few more years of JA's letters sometime next year:I do hope you will all be able to join me then, so do look out for the annoucements.

Thanks, my dear ladies: it's been a most delightful interlude!

Your most obedient servant
