Sweet darlin', I didn't mean to read this, then as I was reading it, didn't mean to read another chapter, then as I read the other chapter, didn't mean to feel curiousity or be so intrigued that I couldn't quit reading any time I wanted to.  So look what you done--Miz Unbridled, now look what you've done.  I'm eat up now and want more and more.  Thanks for the great got me by my goods(brain) read!!!!!!

lol. Just when you think you're out they suck you back in! Seriously, I'm very flattered that you couldn't quit reading. My goal is to always keep my readers guessing and I hope I can continue to do that right up until the last chapter. Thank you so much for giving me hope that I can. ((hugs)) :D

Grrr, I cannot believe Cecily invited her to the party. Oh nos is this the night that William gets turned? You've written him so well that I'm going to miss him all shy and the like but make room for Spike I guess, lol.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. :)

very good read, thank you. buffy may find out that the battles fought in the ballroom can be nastier than those in the graveyards.

Cecily being nice? Why does that not sound right?

Well Giles would have known who Cecily was, but since Buffy and reseach is "non-mixy" she just might not remember. Nice for her to get out alright but this way William can be her escort. What about dancing? Has she ever learned to waltz? This is going to be interesting. At least she and William had two wonderful meeting's to let him know that she's slightly interested in him and he in her. Great chapter, so glad you posted three in a row, thanks UB.
My perception is Giles actually knew very little about Spike's human existence--Spike did work so hard to blot it out so completely as he created his new identity.

I'm glad you like the story. I'll be posting again tomorrow, hopefully. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Absolutely loved it!! The scene in the library, William and his enthusiasm about poetry, Buffy's growing attraction to him---perfect! Ooh, and thank you for introducing Cecily before the party, and I'm really happy that Buffy doesn't like her. Hmm, I'm also uber curious as to why she'd invite Buffy after one visit and can't wait till we get the answer. Great work!!
There's definitely a reason for the invitation but I'll let you wait until Chapter Twelve to find out what it is. Thanks for the review. :)

Really enjoing the story. Very interesting. However one thing did jump out at me in this chapter. I read alot of historical fiction novels. The normal "coming out" time for a young lady is between 16 and 18. During season five Buffy was 19/20. If Cecily were older than Buffy she would have been "firmly on the shelf" as the age for that was 21. Otherwise great story please give us more. Stephanie: smilz569@aol.com
The only answer I have for you is maybe Buffy perceived her as older than she is? Grasping at straws here I know, but I'm the author and I can do things like that. ;)

Thanks for the review. :)

Go and see. I've just posted it. ;)

Thanks for the review. :)

Oh no, Cecily's ball! Could this be the occasion of William's vamping? It makes me sad to think, as that might signal a close to your lovely story (which is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites). And why on earth would Anne and William be concealing Buffy's true station, perhaps because Anne hopes to make the match between her gentleman son and the "lady" Elizabeth? Looking forward to future chapters!
Don't worry moonchic1023 this is definitely not nearing the end of the fic. It's going to be looong. ;) It will however mark a turning point...though just what type of turning point I won't say.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. :)

What great fun. Cecily is like sour lemons. Love the setting and the plausibilty of the dialoge and scenes. Great work!
I can't imagine why Cecily can't see William's charms but obviously she's incapable of it. Luckily, he has another woman to focus on now.

Thanks for taking the time to review. I've worked really hard on making the Victorian characters sound and act authentic so I appreciate your mentioning it. :)

Great chapter. Buffy is a slut, touching William's hand and other body parts. She should be ashamed. Cecily was very interesting, too.
Thanks for reviewing. :)
