I am not sure what happened but this posted out of order so I will try and come up with a Z………

If it qualifies I choose Uppercase Cottage Bundle
cheskawalterataoldotcom
It certainly does! It doesn’t have to be the first word in a title (just an important one!)
UGH!!! I just found P&P and ZOMBIES!! I was searching all over for a Z but it looks like Cheska beat me to it!!
Cheska- Have you read this one?
Yes, I did read this one. Definitely different than what I am used to, but Elizabeth kicks ass.

Oops, looks like Q was over looked. What about “quizzing glasses?”
Ups, I tend to forget that in English alphabet there is “Q” between P and R >_<. I'm sorry!
No worries, Oloore! 🙂 Where are you from? I never really thought about which letters other languages ave & don’t have. Interesting! 🙂

Willoughby…….(says Marianne with a deep sigh)
Fullerton
For those looking for “x” words, I used four of them on page 262 of “Christmas at Pemberley.” The group is playing “I Have a Basket,” and Mr. Bingley can think of no “x” words. Darcy, Elizabeth, Georgiana, and Mr. Bennet all provide an example for the game. I’m assuming because the words are used in an Austen-inspired novel that they will fit this game. Good luck!
Regina Jeffers
Thanks for the tip, Regina. So I bring you one of the “X” words from Christmas at Pemberley.
Xebec is a small, three-masted Mediterranean vessel.
Uppercross Cottage Bundle if I’m lucky enough to win.

I wonder if word “zeal” used by Jane Austen in Emma in chapters 14, 29, 30 and 42 will be acceptable?
“I shall try for it with a zeal!” – says Frank Churchill in chapter 30:)
