This story is a variation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. My story picks up in Chapter 25 in Pride and Prejudice when Miss Jane Bennet, Elizabeth’s elder sister and best friend, agrees to return to London with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner after their Christmas visit to Longbourn. Her intent is to see her friend Mr. Bingley, whom she loves, and determine why he quit Netherfield after the ball that he hosted in late November. Her visits to Mr. Bingley’s house were not successful and she never got to see her friend. Her letters that she delivered on two occassions and others that she sent to him were never answered. Once she learned from Mr. Bingley’s youngest sister, Caroline, that her brother might soon marry, she returned to Longbourn at the end of January.

When Elizabeth learns of her sister’s mistreatment at the hands of Mr. Bingley’s sisters she decides to see for herself what is going on. Elizabeth is convinced that Mr. Bingley loves her sister. She returns to London with her aunt and uncle more determined than ever to meet with Mr. Bingley. Her first day in town as she and her aunt are shopping, she sees Mr. Bingley and his best friend’s sister. Soon Mr. Darcy discovers that Miss Elizabeth Bennet, the young woman who has stolen his heart, is in town and has met his sister.

Elizabeth does not like Mr. Bingley’s friend and can barely tolerate him, but neither can she forget about him. She works to discover the truth of Mr. Bingley’s feelings for her sister, but now aided with better intelligence of Mr. Darcy, she sees him differently, even as she becomes close with Miss Georgiana Darcy.

Soon Elizabeth hears of news that threatens to change everyhing. In a setting of elaborate richness and class, where life is very different for the privileged, Elizabeth and Darcy join to resolve the crisis and now experience the immensity of life, of poverty and wealth, heartbrteak and joy, love and jealousy, betrayal and hate, fear and loneliness and immense grief and hope.
