Do you laugh at an old campaigner home without his arm? No-you do not! You celebrate his gift to the nation. You buy him a drink. You listen to his stories.

She used a seminary connection to secure a governess's position with one of the \u003ci\u003eton's \u003c\/i\u003efirst families. Hardship changed her character. She is now reliable, determined, trustworthy, and more than the pretty face her mother thought would win a husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen tragedy strikes in the park, Miss Bennet suffers terrible injuries.

The typical formula is always the same: the sensible sister, the clever sister, the beautiful sister- they save the family by marrying a man who must overcome his discomfort with his favored lady's lower station. The \"leftover\" sisters wait in the wings until their better siblings' new connections make a way for them. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere we have the opposite. Lydia... LYDIA!!! She turns out just dandy! It is a surprise to see Mrs. Bennet shaken up by life's circumstances and actually doing well by her daughters. Kitty is the remarkable lady here, though. Disfigured and in reduced circumstances, her strength of character and pure heart win her the affections of everyone's favorite Darcy sidekick (with apologies to Charles Bingley). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSilly misunderstandings do not plague this estimable couple. They are intelligent, reasonable people, just as we all should be. Seeing the \"sisters least likely\" carry the day and become the means of their family's salvation was a treat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders say: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Ann Hannon rates the story five stars and calls it\u003ci\u003e \"\u003c\/i\u003eIntense and insightful.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOutstanding!
