sent us this message. ‘I love receiving your monthly emails and I
followed the link on your most recent email … to be honest I

link I’d love it to be in the next newsletter. My best friend saw

I feel it captures the book and feelings of the Mr. Darcy and Miss
Bennet that I hope Jane Austen meant for us all to feel.’
We had to include it this month as we agree with her. |
