A little bit more magic, please!
Here’s another sneak peek at my upcoming magical variation on Pride & Prejudice. This scene also takes place while Elizabeth is at Netherfield, and comes just after the last excerpt I posted, but I think you can read it on its own, too. I hope you enjoy it! ~~~ Elizabeth tiptoed out of Jane’s sickroom …
