Happily, the attendance to the theater by one of London&#8217;s most eligible bachelors, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, and a mysterious woman, was all the fodder the columns needed to run rampant with a story of Mr. Darcy moving off the marriage market. Two days after the fateful night, copies of the Times reached the far edges of the country, including one breakfast table in Kent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Mr. F.D. was in attendance at the opening premier of the ____ Company&#8217;s latest play with a mysterious woman identified as a Miss.

If this was the way Fitzwilliam wanted to play at being a gentleman, taking a mistress in plain sight before taking his vows, she would fight fire with fire. Muttering to herself as she mended a pen with great force, she dipped her quill into the ink, beginning to pen her own piece of gossip for the newspaper.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Lady Catherine de Bourgh of Kent is happy to announce the engagement of her only daughter, Anne de Bourgh to Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of Derbyshire. . .<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lady Catherine paused for a moment and grimaced.

The woman merely shoved the footman out of her way as she hobbled down from the carriage under her own steam. Furious with Fitzwilliam as she was now within the city limits of London, Catherine made the unscrupulous decision to open the door to the town home herself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Margaret! Henry!&#8221; The lady yelled as the poor butler came forward, unsure how to handle this uncouth relative of his master. &#8220;Where are they? I demand to speak to them at once.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m afraid they are away to dinner, milady.

She was brash and bold, but not stupid. &#8220;Fine. I&#8217;d like my usual set of rooms prepared. I shall rest until they return.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">A note was sent to the Seftons immediately upon Lady Catherine&#8217;s arrival. The staff of Matlock House knew better than to argue with the grand lady and listened to her whims and complaints as they readied her usual room when she came to visit. A few had worked for the Fitzwilliam family for decades and remembered Lady Catherine from when she lived in the town home as a young and demanding woman.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The guest list for the Seftons&#8217; dinner was a premium selection of London&#8217;s social elite. Lady Matlock had no true desire to attend, but it was imperative she began the narrative the family wished to have spread about her niece before the less tolerable details began to make their rounds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I wonder that you never left for your country seat this winter. I heard mention there was a wedding in your family.&#8221; Lady Amelia Sefton asked her greatest rival between courses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Margaret Fitzwilliam had prepared for this moment, even going so far as to practice her expressions in her mirror at home. There was no room for error. &#8220;The new generation, I tell you! My son and nephew allowed my niece to make a love match! In my day, marriages were decided by the important family members, but in this case, the documents were signed and the ceremony was planned with Henry and I barely making it to the church in time!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;A love match? How singular. Did not your nephew Darcy wish to increase his lands with his sister&#8217;s marriage?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Apparently it was their father&#8217;s wish, some sort of nonsense, allowing his children to marry as they desired. The man was a mate of Darcy&#8217;s at school and has known the family for ages.&#8221; Lady Matlock started the half-truths and prettied up the facts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;And where is the happy couple? We simply must throw them a ball!&#8221; Lady Sefton offered. Lady Sefton would throw a ball every day of the week if her husband allowed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Unfortunately, they are no longer in town, you see. My nephew gifted them a trip to Bath and they intend to remain until Easter.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Well, I, for one, am happy to hear young Miss Darcy found love. It keeps things interesting for the rest of us.&#8221; Lord Burly raised his glass in toast to the happy couple with the Fitzwilliams joining in, causing the rest of the party at the table to raise their glasses, even if some did so reluctantly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Hours later with the Fitzwilliams in their carriage, the earl imparted the intelligence of his sister&#8217;s arrival in London.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;What bee is in Catherine&#8217;s bonnet now?&#8221; Margaret Fitzwilliam asked, allowing herself to feel the annoyance her misbehaving family members had wrought.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I cannot even begin to fathom. By the by, what was all the nonsense you were talking about concerning Georgiana at dinner tonight? I thought we were keeping the marriage quiet.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Husband, the best defense is a good offense.

The town homes were all walking distance apart, but the desire to display one&#8217;s wealth always resulted in the worst carriage traffic and vexed the earl&#8217;s nerves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;With any luck, the Wickhams will stay away long enough for an even greater scandal to hit society.&#8221; Even as she uttered the words, Lady Matlock did not hold out much hope.<\/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!

#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Due to the late hour at which they arrived home from the Seftons,\u2019 the earl and countess avoided Lady Catherine&#8217;s presence until the following day. Making the transition to town hours, it was nearly noon before the earl arrived to break his fast. His sister Catherine waited for him, triumphantly holding a page of the London Times.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I cannot believe you and your wife were not more vigilant. To allow him to take a mistress right under your noses! Well, no need to bother. I repaired the damage,&#8221; Lady Catherine announced with a smug look on her face.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The earl&#8217;s head throbbed most viciously as more and more he found wine did not agree with his person. Accepting a cup of strong coffee from a servant, he glanced at his sister and belched. Predictably, Lady Catherine glared at her younger brother, while he apologized for the faux pas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Pardon me, Catty, it was a long evening. Those Seftons are an energetic bunch, and I find all social schemes most tiring. Unfortunately, I am not so young as to hide in my cups as they say. Now what&#8217;s this you are going on about?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;You repulse me, Brother. No gentleman of good regulation would indulge in too much to drink. Our father would be ashamed!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Spare me the theatrics of invoking Father and kindly arrive at your point.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam called on his family for the first time in over a week. Having to take an extensive leave in the search for his cousin Georgiana, Richard was obligated to return and train as many of His Majesty&#8217;s soldiers as possible. One of the few officers of noble birth, but earning his rank, it was not in his personality to rest on his laurels.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Hearing shouts and the distinct voice of his Aunt Catherine, Richard held a finger up to the butler to instruct him not to announce his presence. Pressed against the outside of the breakfast parlor door, he listened to the argument inside.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I thought we were united on this! The two of you clearly hold not a care for my wellbeing or that of your niece. That Wickham boy does not share our blood. He is the unwanted product of my husband&#8217;s dalliances, and he should&#8217;ve been sent off to a workhouse instead of held by the tender heart strings of George Darcy!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The earl pinched the bridge of his nose and reminded his sister that her late husband had received more than his just desserts when his dalliances were the cause of his death. Of course, the family doctor swore Sir Lewis died of apoplexy, but the rest of the family had no doubt it was the French disease. The only way to invalidate the last will and testament of Sir Lewis de Bourgh was to admit he was likely out of his mind when he willed Rosings to Anne upon her marriage or thirtieth birthday and to his male bastard children if she should not marry or produce issue.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Tell me what you did, Catherine.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Merely what is my right! If Darcy can run around and become the talk of the gossip rags, it is only fitting his engagement be formally announced.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Are you telling me you want to announce his engagement to Anne formally? Without even a signed marriage settlement?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No, certainly not. I&#8217;m telling you I took the matter in my own hands, and the engagement announcement should be in this morning&#8217;s paper.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Outside the door, the Colonel clenched his fists and resisted the urge to storm into the breakfast parlor to give his aunt a piece of his mind. A small hand touched his shoulder and the military man startled before turning to see his mother&#8217;s face.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Warn Darcy,&#8221; she whispered.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">His face white with anger, Richard bowed his head to his mother to take his leave and stalked away towards the front door. He did not bother to call the carriage and chose to release his anger over the two blocks between the grand houses in preparation to brief his cousin. There was no doubt they had precious little time to shore up their defenses before Lady Catherine and his parents would be at Darcy House demanding satisfaction.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">With the knocker restored on Darcy House, the Colonel had no hindrance to his entrance and found Darcy in his study, well into his day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Richard, what a pleasure! I thought the Major General was keeping you busy nigh until Easter-time.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;He is, Cousin; he is. I happened to visit my home during a break before afternoon exercises, and I&#8217;m afraid I have some intelligence to impart.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy&#8217;s joy faded from his face. &#8220;I am to visit Miss Elizabeth very soon. What news do you carry?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;You&#8217;d better sit down, Cousin, and let me pour you a drink.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s bad as all that? Is it Georgiana? Has something happened?&#8221; Darcy asked.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Richard poured two healthy glasses of scotch and joined his cousin at his desk. He didn&#8217;t bother to take a seat himself, as he had to hurry back to the barracks. &#8220;Lady Catherine read the news of your theater outing in the Times.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy groaned and helped himself to his own drink. He worried about the repercussions of the gossip and hoped his aunt would miss the current edition of the Times. &#8220;Go on.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Have you checked this morning&#8217;s paper? Particularly the engagement announcements?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy&#8217;s face drained of all color. He fetched his copy of the newspaper from the bin and shuffled the sheets to find the engagement announcements. Seeing his name announced with his cousin&#8217;s, fear gripped his heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;No! No! No! That biddy, I&#8217;ll make her pay for this! Do you have any idea the damage this will do to Elizabeth?&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Richard finished his drink, placed the glass on the desk and held his hands up in mock surrender. &#8220;I am merely the messenger. I&#8217;d say you have about ten minutes to vacate this house before all hell breaks loose and descends upon you.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy shrugged on his coat and yelled for his carriage, nearly knocking Richard out of the way as he exited his study.
