The part I'm most looking forward to read it's when Darcy sees Lizzy. But I think that if it happens now it would waste a chance of Darcy meets Lizzy without being introduced and found out who she is after something happened. It would be very touching.
I imagine Darcy finding Lizzy at Pemberley.Like version 2005 of the movie, but without knowing that she is Lizzy.
This scene has so much feeling, it would be so good.Please Ellen think of it.
Bye, Hanna
Reading along, reading along - all in all, fantastic! Dr. Hampton comes to his senses, performs a service just for his craft and for kindness; Anne de Bourgh puts on a Lady Catherine-type show without her mother's cattiness; Jane saves the day (kind of); we get to laugh at Fitzwilliam's confusion (how DID he become a colonel?!).
I also liked very much the fact that Darcy only regained sight in one eye. We all would love him to carry on as he was before, and finally have the chance to see Elizabeth, but it would have been too perfect for the surgery to have worked that completely. It was a beautiful nod to both our hopes and also to reality.
Blame the laughing gas, but shame on Darcy for his comments 
He's going to end up ruining Elizabeth's reputation, lol. At least no one else heard all that.
Then I got to the end. Gonna kill Lydia.
Once again, thanks to all who commented! 
Chapter 22 has been unavoidably detained, but rest assured, I'm working on it. 
Can you tell I can't wait... 
Ellen - I'm going to join the chorus for "Please relieve our suffering and post the next chapter soon!" I am anxious to know if Darcy will see Elizabeth before she leaves...
I'm going to add my voice to the chorus here. I am suffering serious withdrawal pains.
Please help us, Ellen!!!
Debra Anne
Ellen, pretty please 
Oh, my, who could resist such pretty requests? 
I'm working on it, my dears, I'm working on it!!!!
Chapter 22 is up, my dears. Enjoy!
You have no mercy, Ellen. Another cliffhanger. But I have faith in Darcy (you're not going to send to him to Nova Scotia now, are you?). And the Colonel. But Dr. Hampton lost a chance I was willing to give him.
Great chapter, thanks.

Wow, imagine Darcy riding along like some pirate in the Caribb.. sorry, another story, let's go for some Knight in shining armour instead. You're absolutely right, enough of Darcy- the helpless. Being helpless is not an apt description regarding his dealings with Elizabeth, he has rather been quite resourceful, don't you think? 
This is a great story, and I keep checking for new chapters. I hope Darcy does not ruin his eyesight to be with the woman he loves, and that someone can bring him to reason... And then when his eyesight is all better (well, the one eye) you can bring them back together again...
This is a great story, and I keep checking for new chapters.
I couldn't agree more, Jeske, and I hope you'll check today, 'cause chapter 23 has been posted.
Enjoy, my dears!
My oh my, I trust that you won't add another Hampton twist to the plot, it would just be tiresome. Let's pray that Darcy is using Hampton as shield here. I'm confident that a crowd would join me cheering Darcy brought to the fore, why not on his beautiful stallion, to put it all to rest, black eye patch and all 
"I'm a little confused and upset about the involvement of Hampton. If Darcy needed a cover person, why not use Bingley and let him be the hero. HMMMMMMM, something, as usual, is not right. I, too, am tired of Hampton. I hope Darcy recovers quickly and can claim Elizabeth. This is just too confusing. Thanks for the post and I hope a new chapter will follow SOON! Cindy"
Ditto!
GAH!!! **** the devil to hell.

She adopts the same approach throughout this story. Incomprehensible.
Our dear Ellen knows how to keep our attention. All her stories unfold in a very clever way, but after all angst we are always rewarded in a most delightful way.
I'm so intrigued about Dr Hampton's role. I'm so certain he's sincerely remorseful, that I cannot but think that he's helping Mr Darcy... even though he offered to Lizzy again, but that was to save her from the censure of the entire Hertfordshire vicinity... Or am I too optimistic?
I totally agree with Annl, I hate Dr. Hampton! What business does he have taking Darcys role! To the devil with Dr. Hampton! Excellent chapter cant wait for more!!
But our writer could not resist asserting her power and teasing us one more time. She adopts the same approach throughout this story. Incomprehensible.
Au contraire, Bfly, it is perfectly comprehensible! If I simply wrote, "Darcy meets Elizabeth, Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth, Darcy loses Elizabeth, Darcy regains Elizabeth," everyone would know exactly where the story was headed and there would be no dramatic tension. I just like to cast a teeny bit of doubt into the mix. It keeps things interesting. 
Thank you, Maura, for your kind words. They mean a lot, especially now, when the natives seem to be getting restless! 
But don't worry, y'all, the next chapter will explain everything.
I refuse to believe that Hampton has a major role in finding Wickham and Lydia. It must be Darcy's & Colonel's effort or a combined work of all the 3 men. But strangely why would Darcy want to place Hampton as the hero? The twist will be very interesting! And Mr Bennet, what was he thinking??? If he truly loves his favourite daughter, the last thing he wants to do is to hint that she should return his favour! Please don't keep us wait too looonnngggg for the next update Ellen
Ellen,
Thank you.
Well, I have nothing against the idea Dr. Hampton helped to find Lydia. If he did - it is a good way to rehabilitate himself after what he has done in the past.
But I do understand all those readers who object to this idea. Of course I would prefer it’s our hero who rescues the world again. Perhaps wicked Ellen has something in her sleeve, but if it’s going to stay this way - so be it. But there is of course this huge difference – in PP Darcy saved Lydia, accepted Wickham as a potential member of his future family, but most of all – asked involved parties not to tell it was him. If Dr. Hampton truly helped here – he obviously wanted to redeem himself in Elizabeth’s eyes, he wanted to buy her gratitude. And this doesn’t seem so very honorable.
But where from Dr. Hampton had money to pay Wickham for his agreement for marriage?
And what’s going on with Mr. Bingley? It seems he run away. And this time without Darcy’s interference. Colonel seemed quite taken by Jane’s beauty – perhaps she could forget Bingley? Unless, of course, you sent Bingley in a secret mission to help Darcy.
And last but not least – I am so happy Darcy can see.

A couple of people have got it right, but I ain't sayin' who! 
Dear Ellen, you're a tease, and a good one at that! We are all "in anticipation" (caroline-style-of speech)of your next next chapter. This is really adding to my Losec-habits. The tension is way too high!
"Do not leave, yet, Sutton, for there is one more task I would assign you."
I think this sentence is pretty crucial...
Can't wait to know the contents of this task.
