        The words may be spoken by her husband, but still Elizabeth’s cheeks color faintly. She’s not used to so unreserved a side of him, even now, though she certainly doesn’t mind it. Then it is a blessing, I suppose, that they fall into your capable and appreciative hands, and no one else’s.

but that is with acquiantances! i will be a disaster at balls, i know nobody and everyone will think i am haughty for not talking and assume i am so because i have money. to say georgiana was incredibly nervous about finally coming out into society and as darling as her brother was, he was no help whatsoever. men didn’t come out, they just went out and that was that. on one hand, she very much wanted to come out and be able to go to balls but on the other hand her shyness (of which she was so painfully aware) made her think it better to just hide in pemberly forever and become a spinster.  jane and charles are people people, i wish i was like them. everyone likes jane and charles. if only her father had left her his easy going nature to inherit, then things wouldn’t be as complicated as this.

                Elizabeth could hardly mask the smile that had spread across her lips, for Georgiana’s fears of her own reputation were precisely what her brother’s disposition had been mistaken for. Anyone with half a mind, my dear Georgiana, would not be so foolish as to believe you capable of such an attitude.   She moved closer to the young woman, locating a seat beside her. My sister and Mr. Bingley are of the most amiable calibre of people I have ever encountered,   she agreed, but they are, at times, perhaps too amiable. There is no harm in possessing some reserve, particularly at so young an age as yours.   But she suspected that such an observation would do nothing to put Georgiana’s mind at ease, and so Lizzy reached out to gently take her hand.  You need not fret. You will not be alone at balls or in conversation. So long as you endeavour not to overthink it, I have no reason to suppose that your fears will come to pass.

        Of course.   Her dark eyes linger on him curiously as she hands the book over to him. It’s hardly a novel that she feels he will find any real enjoyment in, but who is she to presume to know the inner workings of a mind so unfamiliar to her?  Are you a great reader of novels, Mr. Brooke? ”

        Elizabeth’s smile was gentle as her gaze settled upon her sister-in-law. That Georgiana was shy could not be argued, but where her manners were concerned, she had always appeared to Lizzy to be above reproach. Unlike her brother, Miss Darcy could hardly be mistaken for proud and aloof. And what, pray tell, are the defining characteristics of a people person? ”  she asked good-naturedly.  From my own observations, you deal with people perfectly well, once you are made comfortable within the acquaintance.

        It was still a bit strange for Lizzy to find herself in the company of the wealthy and well to-do. It had taken some getting used to upon her wedding to Darcy; she’d been careful to balance her natural disposition with that which was expected in the higher classes, determined not to lose her true self along the way. For the most part, she had succeeded. Still, there was often a flutter of nerves upon entering a new society that she couldn’t immediately quell. For that, she was grateful for the reassurances of her friend. If the people amongst your acquaintance are half so agreeable as yourself, I daresay I will enjoy their company equally as well.   She offered Emma a smile that quickly turned playful.  And I desire that you will introduce me to your Mr. Knightley, for I’ve heard a great deal about him and must reconcile the accounts of him with my own opinion.
