The comfortable bed she found herself in proved unfamiliar and she realized darkness had fallen outside.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Jane?&#8221; Her voice croaked as she wondered how long she had been asleep and more importantly, where might she be?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane Bennet stirred in the chair next to the bed and shook the last remnants of sleep from her body as she rose to hasten to her sister. &#8220;You&#8217;re not dead! Oh, Lizzie, you scared us all!&#8221; Jane tackled her younger sister in joy as she hugged her fiercely. The sudden movement flooded pain throughout Elizabeth&#8217;s senses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Ow, ow, pray do not smother me!&#8221; Elizabeth uttered in jest, but her joke fell flat as she was unable to mask the intense pain both in her head and lower leg. Sucking in a breath, she tried to ask Jane what had happened.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;You don&#8217;t remember?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth closed her eyes and tried, yet nothing came to her. The last thing she could remember was getting ready for the assembly. &#8220;No, are we not going to the assembly tonight?&#8221; Elizabeth glanced around again and couldn&#8217;t place the room. Lucas Lodge? No. Aunt Phillips home in town? Absolutely not!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane frowned. &#8220;The assembly was two nights ago,&#8221; she said softly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Two nights? Elizabeth had lost two days and the burning in her throat reinforced her sister&#8217;s accounting of time. Parched, she motioned for a glass of water from the sideboard. Jane fumbled as she hastened to fetch the drink and hand it to Lizzie.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Slow down, you&#8217;ve been quite ill.&#8221; Jane reassured her sister by stroking her hair.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Finished, Elizabeth handed the glass to Jane who gave Elizabeth another bottle, one she instantly recognized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No! If I don&#8217;t remember, I am determined to avoid laudanum!&#8221; Elizabeth tried to push Jane&#8217;s hand away, but her meager strength left her body.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I know, that&#8217;s why I put a few drops in your water.&#8221; Jane tried to smile as Elizabeth fought against slipping back into unconsciousness. She hated lying to her sister, but knowing Elizabeth as a patient, subterfuge was the only way. The doctor was most explicit if she should wake up, keeping her calm and inducing her to sleep again before she tried to move her broken ankle was paramount.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane leaned over Lizzie and gave her a small kiss on the forehead as her eyelids fluttered one last time. Exhausted herself, Jane collapsed back into her chair and pulled the blanket she had been using around her. Before the stroke of midnight, both Bennet sisters slumbered.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The morning sun woke Elizabeth a second time, only this time she found herself alone. She tried to move, but excruciating pain in her leg gave her pause. She was laying flat on her back, her right foot elevated upon two pillows. Sighing, she reasoned she must have hurt her foot on one of her walks and perhaps this grand place was Netherfield.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Just working out that much gave her an intense headache, though the pain seemed to come on far quicker than usual. Her eyes struggled to focus and she blinked a few times, feeling an intense sense of dizziness. Covering her face with her hands, Elizabeth felt lost. What had happened to her that she was so injured? Where was Jane? She thought she remembered Jane last night before her sister tricked her, or had that been a dream?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Hello?&#8221; Elizabeth made a soft cry and when no one responded she felt quite stricken. The pain overcame her and she openly sobbed. How much time passed, she didn&#8217;t know, but she was startled in her grief by the door suddenly opening and a strange gentleman appearing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth stared at him and he stiffened in embarrassment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Forgive me,&#8221; he bowed &#8220;I overheard your distress and worried you were alone, Miss Elizabeth.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth opened her mouth, then closed it. The man seemed to know her, but she couldn&#8217;t remember who he was for the life of her. Jane had said the assembly already happened, and if she was lying in a bed at Netherfield, perhaps this was Mr. Bingley! Too proud to admit her memory lapse, Elizabeth decided to play it bold.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Thank you, Mr. Bingley. Could you send for my sister?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mr. Darcy eyed her with a quizzical expression but turned to leave. He managed to avoid Jane Bennet as she entered carrying a heavy silver tray. Immediately recovering his manners, he took the tray from Jane and followed her direction to the table beside the bed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Thank you, Mr. Darcy.&#8221; Jane said with a curtsy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">He bowed, and cleared his throat. &#8220;I heard her crying and worried over her injuries. I did not know you were away. That is, I mean, I was concerned she was alone, but I did not intend to come upon her alone.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane smiled and gave a small curtsy again. She met Mr. Darcy sitting in the chair outside this room far too many times to believe he was as unaffected by her sister&#8217;s injuries as he pretended. A cool anger still consumed Jane&#8217;s heart as this man was the very reason her sister nearly died. Racing on the road so close to a town was irresponsible and unforgivable!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I am here now. Apparently there was an oversight and the staff was not aware that Miss Bingley had asked for a tray to be brought up.&#8221; Jane said through clenched teeth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth watched the stranger and her sister interact and she began to groan. The frustration of not knowing what was going on nor who this man was, and now her complete faux pas for calling him Mr. Bingley swirled in her head. She thought she might vomit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Jane, please?&#8221; she pleaded with her eyes to make her sister understand. Elizabeth wrinkled up her nose, the small signal the girls had used since they first experienced an imposition, and closed her mouth lest she turn out the contents of her stomach in front of this man.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Mr. Darcy, my sister needs some privacy.&#8221; Jane said, ushering him to the door.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy didn&#8217;t argue as he was still mulling what Jane had said about the breakfast tray. He&#8217;d have a talk with Bingley about Caroline. Poor treatment of guests was appalling, and a sick one doubly so! He left the ladies as a man on a mission and after a few moments found Bingley setting up billiards.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I say Darcy, fancy a quick game? It seems a poor time to go riding with Miss Elizabeth so ill.&#8221; Bingley held out a cue stick as Darcy shrugged off this coat.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Mr. Bennet returned to Longbourn?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bingley nodded, bending over the table to take his first shot.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I suppose the news that his daughter awakened last night was enough motivation to abandon her to complete strangers.&#8221; Darcy spat out, scowling as Bingley&#8217;s first shot hit perfectly and scored the man a point.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bingley added more chalk to this cue. &#8220;I should hope you don&#8217;t see the care in my household as unfit, Darce. Besides, there is Miss Bennet remaining. What an angel to sacrifice so for a sister.&#8221; Bingley&#8217;s eyes gazed up at the perfectly white ceiling, in the direction he knew Jane to be.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy rolled his eyes and took his shot. If Georgiana had been sick, he never would have left her at the home of an acquaintance to fend for her own care. A burning liquid rose up in his chest as he swallowed back down his guilt. Had he not just done something similar in leaving the search for her to others? Shaking his head, his shot went wide. He removed himself from the table to lean against the wall.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Bingley, speaking of care. You might wish to look into how your staff has been directed to care for the Miss Bennets while they are under your roof.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bingley took another shot, narrowly missing a second point. &#8220;Caroline takes care of that. I&#8217;m sure everything is under good regulation.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy stepped up to take his shot, pretending to mull over the possibilities. Instead he was weighing if he should tell Bingley about the breakfast tray. Just as he was about to do so, the double doors between the billiard room and the parlor opened and Caroline Bingley stood there with a triumphant smile on her face.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;There you two are! Charles, I&#8217;ve been looking everywhere for you and Mr. Darcy. Louisa and I were just planning a fun little picnic this afternoon and wanted you both to be ready at two o&#8217;clock.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bingley looked to Darcy who returned his stare with an expression of wisdom. Clearing his throat, Bingley attempted a deeper tone than usual. &#8220;Caroline, your notion is most disrespectful to our guests. With Miss Elizabeth so taken ill, we shall not be going on a picnic.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline kept her smile plastered in place. &#8220;Oh, she&#8217;s not so terribly ill.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Did you call on her this morning?&#8221; Darcy interrupted, knowing the answer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Well, no, I have not, but Miss Bennet did say her sister awoke last night, and I simply thought we should be cheered by this strong sign of recovery.&#8221; Caroline continued to flash a brilliant, self-assured smile towards Charles, confident today would be like any other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No. No, Caroline!&#8221; Bingley banged the bottom of his cue stick on the hunter green carpet anchoring the furniture in the room. &#8220;This is beyond the pale, sister. Darcy and I shall not join you on a picnic, and I forbid anyone else in my household to partake in such a diversion while Miss Elizabeth is restricted to her bed. Honestly, Caroline, I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s come over you.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Agitated, Bingley turned his back to his sister and circled the table. He leaned in and took a shot with great force as Caroline quit the room closing the doors behind her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Er, Bingley?&#8221; Darcy checked a laugh that was close to breaking free from watching Caroline get a set down and at how incensed his affable friend became at his sister&#8217;s machinations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy pointed at the table and shrugged. &#8220;Nothing, old man. You just took my shot.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It took a moment, but both men began to laugh at the situation as Bingley struggled to rack the balls. &#8220;Go on, Darcy. You break this time.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Two games more passed before Bingley was crowned the day&#8217;s champion, soundly beating Darcy in both despite the one free win he gave earlier.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-th06tu2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1658 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"th06tu2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">[swpm_protected not_for=\"3-4\" do_not_show_protected_msg=\"1\"]\n<center>\n<b>Advertisement<\/b>\n<\/center>\n[\/swpm_protected]<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-jnd4jmm elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1589 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"jnd4jmm\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">[swpm_protected not_for=\"3-4\" do_not_show_protected_msg=\"1\"]\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300 x 250 Google Ad For Chapters -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7008164687543724\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5583540785\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/center>\n[\/swpm_protected]<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-nljoldv elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"nljoldv\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-nhayecn\" data-id=\"nhayecn\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-uvlbhdm elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"uvlbhdm\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Chapter 11 - By Consequence of Marriage, a Pride and Prejudice Variation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ncyljeg elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ncyljeg\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Within a week, Elizabeth felt recovered from her head injury, yet her broken ankle required her to stay abed. Never a spirit easily subdued, Elizabeth passed the time with Jane reading aloud, playing a funny little card game from when they were younger where certain numbers meant you told a truth or a lie, and talking of home. Jane tried to interest Elizabeth in some needlework, but the hoop lay mostly neglected as Elizabeth Bennet had never understood the usefulness of an embroidered doily.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">After tea one afternoon, while Elizabeth read and Jane sewed by the window, a knock on the door startled both women out of their secret world of sisterly affection. Mr. Darcy appeared with books in hand and bowed low.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Since it was my folly to cause this injury, I thought perhaps you&#8217;d like some new books, Miss Elizabeth? I inquired of your sister for your tastes and had these brought from my town home.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth&#8217;s eyes widened as she took stock of the handsome man before her, feeling both pleased and vexed that he brought her books, yet was the very cause of her current pain. Looking to Jane, she nodded and the elder Bennet sister rose to move her chair closer to the bed as Mr. Darcy entered the room. Once settled, Jane returned to her sewing, marring her serene countenance occasionally to glance up and glare at Mr. Darcy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I am touched you sent for books from London. Do you bring gifts to every woman you avoid trampling in the street?&#8221; Elizabeth asked, making Mr. Darcy cough uncomfortably at her frankness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Lizzie!&#8221; Jane warned her younger sister, but said nothing more.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;A sound query, but then I should wonder if you are so bold with men who must make haste to avoid you as you meander in the midst of the road.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">His face like stone, Elizabeth was frightened at first she had truly offended him until she noticed his tell. His left nostril flared slightly and Elizabeth couldn&#8217;t help but giggle. This encouraged Mr. Darcy to smile in return, and the two spent the rest of the afternoon discussing every book from the <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Odyssey<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> to specific sonnets of Shakespeare. The only break in their delightful afternoon was when Caroline Bingley arrived to announce dinner. Performing another deep bow, Mr. Darcy exited the room to dress, reluctantly leaving the sisters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Sighing, Elizabeth slid down in the sheets and laid her arms back. &#8220;I suppose if one must stay abed, it is highly convenient for potential suitors to await your beck and call and hold intelligent conversation.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane frowned as she selected a nightgown to help Elizabeth change before she herself would attend dinner.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;If you&#8217;re not careful, your behavior will cause chatter.&#8221; Jane hummed to herself as she found the hairbrush and ties in her sister&#8217;s trunk. When she turned around, Elizabeth was stricken with silent tears and Jane rushed to her side. &#8220;Lizzie? Shall I fetch the laudanum?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No,&#8221; she sobbed, wiping her eyes. &#8220;I am not hurt. I simply remember.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Clucking her tongue, Jane began to pull the pins from her sister&#8217;s hair and raked her curls gently with her fingertips. &#8220;It must have been a frightful sight to see the horse rear up and nearly strike you.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth shook her head. &#8220;He said that. That&#8217;s why I ran away. I remember everything, Jane. The assembly, you dancing with Mr. Bingley, John dancing with, dancing with\u2014&#8221; she let out a huge sob as Jane embraced her. &#8220;Mr. Lucas will never marry me, Jane. I am not held in his esteem nor do I appear an advantageous match.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Downstairs, ruffled feathers belonged to one Miss Bingley. The party was delayed waiting for her to join them. Caroline Bingley, famously the last dressed and habitually five minutes late to every dinner call, descended the stairs with her smug demeanor only to appear bewildered when she realized they were awaiting Jane.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Are we not all here?&#8221; she asked, innocently, as if she had been the one imposed upon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;We are yet to be joined by Miss Bennet, and I fear there is something keeping her.&#8221; Mr. Bingley glanced furtively at the stairs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline huffed and began to walk towards the dining room. &#8220;A slight foot injury and our lovely country retreat is ruined with two months of playing hospital.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy finished his private conversation with a maid and as she scurried away to the kitchens, he followed Miss Bingley into the dining room as it appeared all manner of escorts and assigned seating were to be abandoned. &#8220;A broken limb is hardly a trifling matter, madam. I once only sustained a sprain as a young lad climbing too many trees and it took many months for the pain to subside.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Miss Bingley sputtered as her sister joined her side. &#8220;How dreadful, Mr. Darcy. I do hope your ankle is well now?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy blinked. &#8220;Perfectly, madam. As I said, I was but a child.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Lord, I&#8217;m squashed, how about some grub, eh Bingley?&#8221; Mr. Hurst found a seat and began motioning with his hands to be served. Bingley scowled at his brother-in-law&#8217;s crude behavior, but nodded to the footman just the same and dinner proceeded to arrive from the kitchen.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Upstairs, Jane continued to soothe her sister and tried to remind Elizabeth of the wonderful qualities any man would be lucky to boast in a wife, and they were all encompassed in her. As the girls snuggled in bed, a servant knocked on the door with a tray in hand, allowing the two sisters to eat in peace. Jane didn&#8217;t know for sure, but she suspected that Mr. Darcy had seen to the repast and she found that she had a small amount of respect for a man who would see to the care of others.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Another week passed before a rainy day brought Mr. Darcy back to Elizabeth Bennet&#8217;s sick room. He happened to come in on the girls playing their card game and politely asked if he might join.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Oh, this game is too much of a trifle for a gentleman of your caliber, sir. Leave it to us ladies.&#8221; Elizabeth gave the cut in all seriousness. After remembering how she came to be bedridden in the enemy&#8217;s home, she had sworn off encouraging the attentions of any man, even one so handsomely clothed as Mr. Darcy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;And gentlemen have no trifles? Surely, Miss Elizabeth, you grant us more amusement in life than a destiny of unabated boredom.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth scowled, frustrated that she was stuck in her prone position. She turned to Jane for help, but her sister only gave a slight smile at Mr. Darcy. So much for sisterly support!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;The game is simple, Mr. Darcy. We each play cards in the middle to make matches of the numbers, if you cannot make a match, then you must play a face card,&#8221; Jane explained.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mr. Darcy pulled a chair from the wall and took off his jacket. He flashed Miss Elizabeth a brilliant smile showing off his dimples as he accepted his hand of cards from Miss Bennet. &#8220;And what befalls me when I play a face card, ladies?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;A knave and you must tell a lie. A queen and you must pay a compliment. A king and you must tell a truth known to but a few.&#8221; Elizabeth took his measure as the game began. Much as she wished to dismiss the man outright and return to her father&#8217;s home in recuperation, something about his demeanor disarmed her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;And if I hold no face cards? Then what must I do, a Herculean labor?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Nay, nothing so onerous. You simply draw a card until you can play. First one to lose her cards wins.&#8221; Miss Elizabeth finished.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Or he.&#8221; Mr. Darcy added.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth smiled, cheered to see the bit of competition in him. &#8220;Agreed, or he that loses his cards first.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The game began and the first few rounds saw all of them making matches as it appeared that Jane had not shuffled the deck well from the last game. Elizabeth was the first to play a face card and giggled as she had the best lie. &#8220;On nights with a full moon, I love best to borrow father&#8217;s breeches and go running through the fields astride the largest stallion in our barn!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane made a face at Elizabeth, but it was Mr. Darcy who cleared his throat. &#8220;Pardon me, but I believe we are supposed to tell a lie when we play a knave.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth&#8217;s jaw dropped that Mr. Darcy would impugn her integrity to tell such a tale, and Jane covered her mouth to stifle her mirth. &#8220;It most certainly is a lie, Mr. Darcy. I hate horses, and prefer walking to riding no matter the distance.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy nodded, and played a card as Miss Bennet had begun a new round with a six and he had one. Elizabeth, still smarting from his jest at her expense, played a seven and it was Jane who had to play a face card. Her face immediately turned red, as she knew Lizzie would not let her get off with nothing less than a most embarrassing truth. Settling her shoulders back, she decided to be as honest as she cared to be, in hopes to avoid her younger sister&#8217;s ribbing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I find Mr. Bingley in possession of the most pleasant manners I&#8217;ve ever met in a dance partner.&#8221; Quickly, Jane turned her eyes back to her cards. Mr. Darcy said nothing and played a nine, hoping Elizabeth did not hold any, but he was to be disappointed when she produced one. Jane played a ten and caught Mr. Darcy wanting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">With a deep breath, Mr. Darcy viewed his face cards and nothing but women smiled up from his hand. Taking out the Queen of Hearts, he played her on the pile and wondered why he had agreed to such a ridiculous game. How was he to compliment one of these women without showing a preference? It was very serious behavior for a man to compliment an unmarried woman, and with his own situation in such disarray, a courtship and marriage was the furthest thing from his mind. Thoughts of Georgiana pained his heart, but provided the necessary inspiration.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I find I have never witnessed such a powerful bond of sisterly affection as I discern between you, Miss Bennet, and you, Miss Elizabeth.&#8221; Both women smiled at this sincere compliment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The game continued until both Darcy and Elizabeth were down to one card each. Poor Jane had the unfortunate business of multiple draws, so she sat with five cards in her hand. She played a seven, hoping once more to catch Mr. Darcy off his game. Instead, the man stood up from his chair and triumphantly played his last face card, one he held from the start. This accomplished, he fulfilled his final requirement.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Ladies, I can honestly say this has been the most engaging and pleasant card game I have ever played. Thank you for teaching me.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Realizing how late the hour was, the group gave their goodbyes and both Jane and Mr. Darcy left to dress for dinner. Elizabeth sighed as they left her to rest. She carefully picked up the cards into a proper deck. As the bottom card was the Queen of Hearts, she wondered at Mr. Darcy&#8217;s truth that he was only in Hertfordshire until he heard from his cousin. Whatever it was, as she yawned and realized the afternoon had indeed taxed her strength, she hoped that Mr. Darcy&#8217;s cousin would misaddress the letter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bqckbar elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bqckbar\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-zhngqtw\" data-id=\"zhngqtw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9frbyfv elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1594 elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9frbyfv\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">NEW RELEASE<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vvcemc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"vvcemc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-zc80rua elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1596 elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"zc80rua\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wip\/for-the-love-of-a-bennet-chapter-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/for-the-love-of-a-bennet-ociwlxbbz8lig0exwxhsw59r5tzz1k63m60yqyx2fo.jpg\" title=\"for the love of a bennet\" alt=\"for the love of a bennet\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-sdicxgm\" data-id=\"sdicxgm\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-unkota7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1598 elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"unkota7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>For the Love of a Bennet<\/strong><\/p><p><span class=\"a-text-italic\"><em>What if Elizabeth Bennet traveled with Lydia to Brighton<\/em>?<\/span><br \/><br \/>A reimagining of Jane Austen&#8217;s most beloved tale,\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">Pride &amp; Prejudice,\u00a0<\/span>join author Elizabeth Ann West as she writes the romantic adventure story she always wanted!

After Mr. Darcy, himself, is summoned to Brighton to hopefully solve two dilemmas with one wealthy member of the gentry, the whole militia is thrown into an uproar by Wickham&#8217;s most dastardly deed, yet.

#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Fatigue added weight to Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam&#8217;s athletic frame as he dragged through his final steps of the day. Spending part of every day and night wandering the streets of London . . .by the docks . . . by the brothels . . . by the warehouses . . . for weeks straight, a deep and dark truth began to grip his heart. He would never find her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Falling into the chair behind Darcy&#8217;s desk in his study, the emotion was too much for the war-ravaged man. He choked up recalling the childish teases his young cousin would play on each of his visits. He could almost hear her small voice echoing around him, &#8220;Come Richard, listen to my newest song that Brother bought for me.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The study door opened and Darcy&#8217;s butler carried in a silver tray with Colonel Fitzwilliam&#8217;s nightly repast. Looking at the wooden desk covered in notes and mail, the colonel hastily collected a pile of letters so that the tray might be placed before him, but his tired hands knocked a few missives to the floor. The butler bent to retrieve them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Leave them, man, get some rest. I may be a bumbling oaf, but I&#8217;m one that cleans up after himself.&#8221; The Colonel attempted a wan smile.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;As you wish, sir.&#8221; The butler bowed and exited the room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Sighing, the Colonel poured himself a glass of brandy and sipped the golden liquid for rejuvenation. The effects were quick, and the burn down his throat a mere tickle as he often imbibed. With a heavy sigh, he leaned forward in the chair to retrieve the letters when his hand paused in midair. The lettering on the missive was familiar, and once he thought of it, he snatched the letter and ripped it open.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">He read the words with his eyes racing back and forth. That scoundrel Wickham was demanding a meeting! Quickly, the Colonel flipped the letter over and searched the date. Why, it was three weeks ago! Frantic, Richard began tossing the letters around looking for more. The raucous search brought the butler back, but upon gazing into the room the man decided not to disturb the Master&#8217;s cousin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Triumphantly clutching five letters, Richard hurried over to the table with the map of London still displayed. He ripped open each letter and looked at the direction, carefully plotting the inns on the map. They all came from the same area, the place by the docks that he had first recommended to Darcy all those weeks ago and had skipped in his searching. With a smug smile on his face, Richard tossed the letters onto the table and walked with a distinct swagger back to the desk. He remained standing erect as he downed the rest of the brandy and then pulled his sagging breeches up over his small paunch. With a loud belch, he opted to retire for a good night&#8217;s sleep.
