With Regard To Mrs Bennet

by AnneDouglas

When Mrs Bennet has a heart attack just over a year before the events of P&P, a widow makes designs on Mr Bennet. But rescue comes in the unlikely form of Charlotte Lucas who realises the potential for disaster said widow would have upon the Bennet family, and offers the most unlikely assistance with far reaching consequences.

6. Update

Hi all, sorry this isn't a new chapter just an update. I wanted to let you all know that I am not abandoning this story, and I do intend to post a new chapter as soon possible. I know that some of you are curious as to why, and these are the reasons.

A) I have spent almost two months out of this years in hospital with severe pain, and almost four months recovering from said pain. I am (or so it seems), finally recovered.

B) My laptop stopped working and I was unable to get a replacement for a full month, so I lost the chapter I was working on, and I have to restart it completely. I have a new laptop now and I should get it all up and running.

C) My parents are currently going through a very bitter divorce and I have spent the last month making sure my father doesn't kill himself.

D) I recently had to renovate my home, and I have been kept very busy with it.

E) I've only just recently recovered from my second miscarriage on the very anniversary of my first miscarriage. Under all this emotional trauma and stress, I'm sure some of you who are less patient than others might forgive me if I do not update immediately.

Thank you for reading the story. I hope to have the next chapter up by the end of the month. If for some reason I cannot upload it, I will post another update. Thank you all for being so patient and bearing with me. -Anne Douglas.
