Elizabeth&#8217;s awkwardness increased with each passing moment that Mr. Darcy did not arrive. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">To her surprise, her mother had run interference with Mr. Collins allowing Elizabeth to sit in the corner of the parlor with a book. However, the tome was little more than a prop. She had managed no further than the first chapter, even ignoring the usual squabbles between Kitty and Lydia and hearing poor Mary desperately trying to engage Mr. Collins into a conversation about sermons. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When a knock on the door interrupted everyone&#8217;s activities, the family froze as Mrs. Hill opened the door. Elizabeth held her breath and listened closely to discern the voice of the visitor, but the pitch was much too high for the rich and velvet baritone of Mr. Darcy. The happy tenor of Mr. Bingley had arrived with his sister, Caroline. No Mr. Darcy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Miss Bennet, may I say you are looking very fine today? I hope we have not called too early? Caroline was worried it was too early after the ball.\u201d Poor Mr. Bingley\u2019s tongue had run away with him in the anxious energy of addressing an entire room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Honestly, Charles, I had barely woken before you implored me to ready for a visit,\u201d Miss Bingley countered as she brushed aside her brother arrested in place before his intended and entered the parlor properly. All of the occupants stood to greet the new visitors and Mrs. Bennet enthusiastically encouraged Mr. Bingley to visit as often as he desired.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Especially now that we are to be family, Mr. Bingley, and of course you, too, Miss Bingley. You must come to feel that Longbourn is a home to you, too.\u201d Mrs. Bennet smiled at the joy of such a statement, missing Elizabeth\u2019s jaw dropping in shock.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As if her head were upon a swivel, Elizabeth turned to catch Jane\u2019s eye, but her sister was far too occupied by Mr. Bingley in the far corner of the room. Instead, Miss Bingley glided over to the empty chair beside her adversary for Mr. Darcy\u2019s attentions.<\/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-8f9a1b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1658 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"8f9a1b4\" 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-100aab4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1589 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"100aab4\" 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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0e0bed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f0e0bed\" 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 - If Mr. Darcy Dared (cont'd)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1438dd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1438dd9\" 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;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I am surprised to see you in such high spirits, Miss Eliza. Why, I should have been too humiliated to leave my room after the night you had. But here you are, putting on a brave face for us all.\u201d Miss Bingley smiled at Elizabeth as though she just paid the highest compliment as Elizabeth slanted her eyes at the woman who most reminded her of an illustration of a marmota monax in one of her father\u2019s books on botany. That the creature was known to dig in gardens and ruin one\u2019s best flowers only made the likeness more fitting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Oh, I believe I can suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,\u201d Elizabeth countered, bleakly.

We must order refreshments for our guests.&#8221; Mrs. Bennet, despite feeling more of a kinship to her eldest daughter than her second eldest, was not so cruel as to abandon any of her offspring while a presumed suitor was missing in action.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;Have you received a note from Mr. Darcy?&#8221; Mrs. Bennet asked as soon as they were out of the earshot of the parlor.

Then she turned back to Mr. Bennet and attempted one last query of her husband.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;What has Mr. Bingley to say about this?

I&#8217;m afraid I am as much in the dark as you are as to the mysterious whereabouts of Mr. Darcy.&#8221; Mr. Bennet smirked, angering his wife further.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mrs. Bennet ran her hands over her apron and turned to take Lizzy to task over whatever she had done to anger Mr. Darcy that he did not call this morning. But when she turned around in the hall, her daughter was gone. She squawked at the disappearance and then scolded Mr. Bennet for distracting her so to allow Lizzy to get away.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;I apologize if you feel that I have unfairly burdened you when you have burst into my sanctuary. Now I do believe we have guests, do we not?&#8221; Mr. Bennet asked, spotting a dash of navy blue scurrying across his lawn in his peripheral vision. He dared not turn his head to look properly and alert his wife. Even he agreed that his Elizabeth deserved an escape as the walls were very thin between the study and the parlor. He only wished he trusted her more not to do anything rash.<\/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-d9e6900 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9e6900\" 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 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">You&#8217;ve been reading . . . <em>If Mr. Darcy Dared<\/em>, a work in progress by Elizabeth Ann West.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> Available for Preorder now!<\/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-2df05e9f elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2df05e9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&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-34162efb\" data-id=\"34162efb\" 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-45b246b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"45b246b\" 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<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/if-mr-darcy-dared2-no-oval-nhgmkgtghol5zy7qfl6txajq5p9lghhbhczsy6uetw.jpg\" title=\"if mr darcy dared2 no oval\" alt=\"if mr darcy dared2 no oval\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecddc32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ecddc32\" 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: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>If Mr. Darcy Dared<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">a Pride and Prejudice variation novel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Direct Preorder Release Date: March 23, 2018<br \/>Wide preorder: March 30, 2018<\/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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7142357b\" data-id=\"7142357b\" 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-4d1a3889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d1a3889\" 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>As Charles Bingley and Fitzwilliam Darcy prepare for the Netherfield Ball, a gentlemen&#8217;s challenge develops between them to secure their future happiness\u00a0 . . . with the two eldest Bennet sisters!
