In a cove with Mr Darcy and either AdB or Sir Walter, shudder.
Could be worse. If I throw out Sir Walter, maybe Anne and Darcy will speak plainly – at least I am a chaparon so they’re not compromised!
I become stranded at Netherfield with Mr. Darcy and Lady CDB.
Author
Stephanie, that’s not so bad. You can go for a walk and she wouldn’t be able to keep up. 🙂
Author
Deb, your willingness to help the cousins come to an mutual understanding of friendship is wonderful! Now, they can both get on with their lives! 🙂
I am at Netherfield with Mr Darcy and …. Caroline Bingley…. Well I am a bit too old for Mr Darcy but I may try to prevent Caroline’s schemes 🙂
Author
Nathalie, way to be a quick thinker AND a team player! I’m sure Elizabeth will appreciate that…well, someday when he realizes she is a woman worthy of being pleased. 🙂
I don’t want to play 😳, I’m in a cave with Mr Knightley and Sir Walter! I could change my top but not my car or birthdate 😥
I suppose I could cope with the former but no way could I deal with the latter 🤔🥴
Author
Glynis, Maybe the cave has a small mirror like puddle, and he will stare at himself the whole time. 🙂
Ugh, I am at an abbey with Mr Wm Elliot and Lydia B. This is not going to be pleasant…
Author
Stephanie, quick…go change your shirt! 🙂
Oh dear! I’m stranded in a church with Mr Elliot and Lady Catherine. The church is beautiful, the roof has some spectacular beams, which look strong enough. I’m trying to find a good rope, but I’m not sure who for. Will this be murder or suicide?
Author
Kate, Or…Maybe you will swing out the window and climb into a coach with Mr. Darcy? (Quick, go change your shirt!) 🙂
I’m in a cave with Mr. Darcy and Anne de Bourgh. I’m much healthier than she so I would say I have a pretty good chance of a happy ending.
Author
Catherine, my money is on you for sure! 🙂
I am in a coach with Mr. Darcy and Lydia! If she does behave and keep quiet we might have to throw Lydia out of the coach! Or maybe there is some laudanum around to drug her.
Author
EVERY respectable coach will have a secret panel with laudanum in it. A few drops won’t hurt her. 🙂
I’m stranded at Rosings Park with Mr. Darcy (!) and Mrs. Bennet. I am hoping Lady Catherine will be agreeable enough to engage Mrs. Bennet in a long conversation while Mr. Darcy and I are enjoying our walk through the park.
Author
Carianne, I am certain Lady Catherine will have enough guidance to bestow on Mrs. Bennet that you’ll be able to sneak away for sure! Just don’t pass by the parsonage! 🙂
In a coach with Mr. Knightly and Lady Bertram.
Author
Maybe Lady Bertram will fall asleep and you can enjoy Mr. Knightly’s company? 🙂
I am stranded in a cave with Mr. Bingley and Lady Bertram. (And I have never particularly cared for Mr. Bingley.)
Author
Alyssa F. Oh, then this does not bode well at all. 🙂
In a church with Mr. Darcy and either Caroline B or Lydia B. If this is my wedding, both those witches better behave. lol
Author
Love it! If it’s your wedding and they don’t behave, at least YOU’RE walking out with Mr. Darcy! 🙂
Well I happen to be stranded in beautiful Pemberley, but then it goes south unfortunately when the deceptive Mr William Elliot turns up with the sickly Anne De Bourgh. What a mish mash! Loved the game! 😀
Author
Thank you, Lauren! Maybe you can hide in Pemberley’s magnificent woods? 🙂
At Darcy House with him (well at least that is proper) and Mr. Elton.
I love it! I am stranded at Pemberley with Mr Darcy and Anne DeB. Now the question is does Mr D need my help managing his false engagement or is he married to Anne? Regardless, I will enjoy my stay in the grand house with a marvelous library and excellent staff.
I’m going to Gretna Green! (How has no one else gotten that one yet? Or just not willing to admit it…) And depending on how I interpret my shirt, with either Col Brandon or Mr. Darcy. But with us is Caroline Bingley. Probably the only way to stop her schemes is to marry the gentleman first. Thankfully they’re both good men.
I am at Netherfield with Mr Knightly and Mrs Bennet…..
I must only hope that Miss Bingley remains in her bedchamber sticking pins in an effigy of Eliza Bennet.
