He passed it off to Michael and the two of them ran into the pastures, towards the tree on the property line. We all ran behind them, Jane and Kitty crying, Mary holding little Lydia by the hand. Of course they outran us and were well into the tree by the time we arrived at the bottom. They had fashioned a noose out of ribbons and put it around the doll’s neck, and there she was, hanging from the tree.” Darcy clamped down hard on his jaw to suppress a laugh and nodded for her to continue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Well, you can imagine how it was. Jane was in a terrible state over seeing her prized possession being executed, and there was Kitty, wailing in the background, Mary trying to console her; it was quite a sight. They jumped down from the tree and began taunting us, saying that we’d never get it down and their mother wouldn’t be home until later, so we couldn’t go to her. The doll would have to stay up there all night. Then they began talking about what would happen if it rained and how the doll would be completely ruined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Eventually, I had had enough. I told them that I would climb up into the tree and retrieve the doll. They didn’t believe me and said that girls can’t climb trees and even if they could, our skirts would get in the way. That was when I got an idea. They were to be staying another month and we couldn’t continue doing this every day, so I challenged them.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“You challenged them?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Yes. I told them we would race to the top. If I got to the doll first, they could not take any more of our toys and must behave like gentlemen the rest of their trip. If they got to the top first, we couldn’t tell their mother about any of this. We shook on the deal and they decided horrid Thomas would be the one to race me, since he was taller and had longer limbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I tied my skirts up around my waist and Jane counted us down. When she said go, we both began to climb furiously, but I knew the way better.” She couldn’t hide the air of pride she felt in her accomplishment. “I had climbed that tree hundreds of times and knew exactly where to step. I had made it to the top and was reaching for the doll long before Thomas. He was so angry with me, he reached out to grab the doll from my arms, but I hit him with my elbow.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShe released a sigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell all the way to the ground. His arm was twisted terribly behind his back and he was screaming in pain, and cursing me with words I had never heard. Michael ran for Mr. Hill and the doctor came and declared he had a broken arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“They couldn’t set it until our parents returned several hours later, so he was given laudanum and laid in the kitchen crying and writhing in pain. Eventually all was set right, but he ended up having to stay with us another six weeks until the doctor declared he was ready to travel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShe slumped back into the chair and exhaled loudly. “It was horrible! My mother went on and on about how unladylike my behavior was and said that if I wasn’t so wild, none of this would have happened. As my punishment, whether for climbing or pushing, I don’t know, she made me act as Thomas’s nurse while he stayed with us. I had to bring him tea and give him his medicine. Mother said it would teach me how to take care of a man, which was what I should be doing, instead of keeping my nose in books all day and climbing trees.” She rolled her eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“And did you?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Did I what?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Learn to take care of a man?” he asked with a smirk and a glint in his eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I hardly think a twelve-year-old boy can be called a man, Mr. Darcy,” she replied with an impish smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe let out a deep, rumbling laugh. “No, he cannot, Miss Bennet.
