Summary
"When God said ‘let there be light', he had also known that one day one of the many girls called Mary would need to read the words that Moses uttered: ‘I am slow of tongue’. Mary considered only this, because she could not dwell on the insults which haunted her waking moments. Why had her parents allowed something as simple as a stumbling tongue to build a wall between their own passions and those of their child?"
This is Mary's story, told in words which come far more rapidly to paper than they do to her struggling lips. COMPLETE- Language:

Summary
Kitty Bennet has always lived under her sister’s shadow. After a life of being an unwilling accomplice to Lydia’s greedy schemes, she struggles to find her own way after her sisters are married. Although her quick sense of humour makes her a social butterfly, she struggles to free herself from Lydia’s ruthless control and the whisper of scandal that haunts her. A crippling accident forces everyone to see Kitty as more than just the family fool - but how can she win this new fight, when she cannot conquer the old? D/E, J/B, C/?, fluff and scandal. COMPLETE! Now adding BONUS CHAPTERS at the end, because I'm enjoying writing the characters too much to end it just because the actual plot has finished. XD
