As I toured Biltmore I imagined Mr. Darcy wandering the halls of a grand house like it–eating at the “intimate” breakfast room, listening to performances in the music room, receiving guests in the long gallery, or (especially) reading in the library.   You can read and research such a lifestyle, but there’s no substitute for seeing  where it took place.

Is the Vanderbilts’ house Biltmore the English country house of North Carolina (or all of the U.S.)?  I discuss my recent visit to Biltmore in my latest blog for the Austen Authors! http://austenauthors.net/biltmore-the-u-s-english-country-house/

I’m a guest today at More Agreeably Engaged, where Janet asks me some thought-provoking questions.  Find out my specific reasons for loving Mr. Darcy!
