What fun! Had to figure out Regency spellings. 😃
So much fun!!!
Thank you.
Had a blast! Thank you for this breakaway of fun. 🙂
Oh, Sarah, it´s so fun! I´m spanish but I managed to fill all the gaps except the following ones. I need help LOL
-To snub someone?
-An underdress worn under Regency clothing?
-The currency often mentioned in Austen´s books
-A gentleman with a great natural modesty
Thanks for the puzzle! 😉
Teresa
Underdress is SHIFT
Currency is POUND
Modest gentleman is BINGLEY
Thanks I couldn’t remember shift either!
To snub someone– starts with a sharp C
An underdress starts with a changeable S
The currency starts with a heavy P
The modest gentleman starts with a B, like Chandler from the TV show Friends

I love the subtlety of these clues! Nice!
I did it! Thank you! A lovely treat today. 😃😃😃
Lots of fun-a good add to my morning puzzle routine! The Advent Calendar is going to be fun, thanks to all the authors who are giving us this lovely treat!
(There is a mistake in one of the clues, #29 down. The pedantic pianist is not the youngest sister…)
Oops, you’re right! It was meant to say “younger” sister.
What happened to day 3? I haven’t received an email for it yet 😢😢😢
Thank you! This was great fun. 😊
That was fun! Thank you for these Christmas season delights. That was a super easy crossword for Regency and Jane fans, but very hard for others.
Brilliant cross word! Only one word had me VEXED!
such fun! I am only stuck on 1 down!
The little annoying word stumped me too.
This was really fun!!
So much fun! Thank you
Loved it! Although I will admit to using google for the annoy or bother (I had irk until I did the down clue)
Excellent crossword! Thank you!
Thank you. This was fun!
Happy Holidays.
