In this variation, Mr. Darcy actually checks Mrs. Younge’s references and, of course, does not hire her. No other applicants seem like good options, so Georgiana, rather lonely at Pemberley, chooses to spend the summer of 1811 at Rosings Park with Cousin Anne. This is a transformative summer for both girls; at the end of it, Anne is no longer a weak invalid; Georgiana is no longer a shy, retiring creature.
That fall, Georgiana accompanies her brother to Netherfield to visit Charles Bingley. To Georgiana’s surprise (and Mr. Darcy’s, as well), George Wickham is in Meryton! Mr. Darcy orders his sister to stay away from the man, but he offers no explanation for his apparently unreasonable decision. Georgiana, tempted by Wickham’s undeniable good looks and charm, chooses to ignore her brother’s injunction against their old friend. Will she be saved from her own foolishness before it is too late?
Mr. Darcy is attracted to Elizabeth from the start; unfortunately, his feelings are not reciprocated. Indeed, Elizabeth dislikes Mr. Darcy for one simple reason: he reminds her rather too much of her father, from whom she has become estranged. What caused the estrangement? Can it be resolved, with Mr. Darcy’s help?
When Mr. Collins comes to visit, Mr. Bennet is so repelled by his heir that he decides to find a way to end the entail once and for all; Mr. Darcy knows of a tricky legal maneuver that may help. Will it succeed?
Trigger warning: there is a brief scene describing an attack upon a young woman.
