by M. L. Buchman There are good days, great days, and Amazing Days! I've just had an Amazing Day (which I'll get to in a moment). But the day has had a lot of odd baggage in it that I've found to be an excellent reminder to put everything into perspective. Or better yet, kept it there. There were three events in the M.L. Buchman household today of varying importance. Event 1: A new sofa and chair  The last sofa and chair survived over a dozen years of kid, cats, and general living. As the couch decayed, so did the nation's economy and our own finances. There were times, while unemployment was tinkering with my corporate career time after time, when a cup of coffee wasn't in the budget. When the extra two tanks of gas to go visit our kid in college wasn't really happening either. Today we bought a brand new couch and chair.

What if Mr. Darcy never had the opportunity to propose to Elizabeth Bennet at Hunsford, and did not meet her again until her circumstances were reduced? In Mr. Darcy's Obsession, Mr. Darcy has an even greater social distance to bridge if he wishes to marry Elizabeth. Add in some Fitzwilliam relations the loose morals typical of Regency high society who feel that Elizabeth is the material of which mistresses, not wives, are made, and Mr. Darcy has to make a painful choice between the demands of a decadent society and his personal moral sense.
