Michael as a buffoonish but benevolent lord of the manor and Pam as his long suffering housekeeper really works for me. And I like seeing Pam-Jim banter rendered in Austen-era language. (The note about Philadelphia was a nice touch!)
Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun to search for as many common things between 'The Office' and the Austen universe, and I was excited to learn about Aunt Philadelphia and add this joke :)

Super follow-up, and great fun. Good to see the arrival of Mr Halpert...
Also, it's a long time since I read any Jane Austen; you've given me a taste for it...
Author's Response: Thank you so much :)

I was glad to see an update! I am enjoying your blend of Austen with The Office. I had to smile when Pamela noticed "a horseman in the distance" - excited to see how this unfolds. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! And sorry for not answering earlier. It's a little bit challenging to mix modern realities of 'The Office' with Regency world, but I'm truly thrilled about it :)

I love so much about this chapter. You replicate the language and style of Jane Austen so well. It’s a delicate balance to fit the characters from The Office into the period, but you do it wonderfully. Pam is still Pam, a fierce sense of humor mixed with general politeness. I love her relationship with Michael, she accepts that he is her boss, but is able to gently nudge him in the right direction (much like the show).
It’s exciting to have Jim introduced - I can’t wait to see where you go with him.
Author's Response: Thank you so much - and I'm working on it :)

Delightful. I really enjoyed this chapter. The Regency period style of speaking came through nicely without being so over the top as being hard to follow.
Very nice way for Jim and Pam to meet. Seems like since they're now both in Michael's employ that they'll be seeing a lot of each other. Can't wait to see how you develop their relationship.
Author's Response: Thank you! As much as I love Jane Austen, I often struggle with her long and complicated sentences. I'll try to simplify that style a little bit - I'm glad it worked.
