Thank you, Lúthien84, for participating in my blog tour and for allowing me to be your guest today. Shakespeare says " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. " But can you imagine the flower we know as the rose being called a stinkweed? Would the stinkweed be famous for its sweetness or would its very name make us shy away from taking a whiff?

Have you heard of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries which debuted on the web a couple of months ago?

It proved to be a wise choice for I spend many hours perusing this delightful Pride and Prejudice what-if story.

After thinking over her reasons for refusing him, Darcy decides to take her reproves to heart and tries to correct the mistakes that he committed in his past although unintentional done.
