Firstly
my apologies for the link to 'How rich was Mr Darcy' which failed to
work twice, hopefully it will be third time lucky!! If it fails to link
just put 'How rich was Fitzwilliam Darcy' into Google. It will find the
article.
My goodness how wet it has been here in the UK. Fortunately Bath is not
completely awash unlike other parts of England - although it has had
its fair share of rain. Admiral Croft had it right when he said,
pointing to his umbrella, "I have equipped myself properly for Bath
already, you see"
Enjoy the newsletter and see you next month.
Finally, you must read the next part of our serial There
must be Murder. Chapter 6 - Brittle and beautiful: Catherine learns the ways of the world...

If Jane Austen was alive today she would be an unpublished author scribbling away in a world oblivious to such classics as Persuasion, Emma and Pride & Prejudice; with all literary ambitions having been quashed by uninterested publishers and short-sighted agents?
So says David Lassman in this month's Regency World.
