Story
As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet. Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves?

Story
The arrival of two eligible gentlemen at Netherfield Park sends ripples of excitement through nearby Meryton. But Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy are not the only additions to the neighbourhood raising eyebrows. An unremarkable cottage in the woods between Netherfield and Meryton also has new tenants. One of them — a lively little girl with an adventurous spirit, a love of the outdoors, and a past shrouded in mystery — draws the notice of more than one local.

Story
Fitzwilliam Darcy, standing irritably at the edge of the Meryton assembly, declines to dance with Elizabeth Bennet. In a mood of revulsion, he rejects her without concern of being overheard. Country pretensions are always in need of squashing, and what better way to make clear he would not partner anyone outside his party? However, when he looks over at her, she does not appear humbled at all. She is secretly laughing at him!

Publisher's Summary
"Journeys end in lovers’ meetings, every wise man’s son doth know." (William Shakespeare)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the disastrous first meeting of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly provided each with a ready-made set of prejudices to apply to the other. But when a horrific rural accident reveals Darcy to be a man of active, intelligent benevolence, and Elizabeth, in the absence of her appalling family, to be an extraordinary lady of courage and decision - then, surely, the course of true love will run smoothly.
But alas, the lovers' meeting is not the end, but a new beginning. For though they have found each other, a seeming multitude of complications - a catastrophic flood, the last wishes of a dying friend, Lydia’s misfortunes, a dastardly member of parliament, and even their own fears - contrives to come between them and their journey’s end.

Good Story
”Trip no further, pretty sweeting
Journey’s end in Lovers’ meeting
Every wise man’s son doth know.”
—Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
A different beginning for Darcy and Elizabeth when they meet at the scene of an accident near Longbourn, and they both render aid. Darcy takes charge and displays leadership, kindness, and compassion towards the injured, as does Elizabeth. Consequently, they both come away with favourable impressions of one another, and Darcy earns the respect of neighbours.
With every subsequent meeting with Elizabeth, Darcy is more and more enthralled. From his youth, inculcated with a sense of duty and pride for his family name by his father, he feels he cannot marry beneath him, especially after meeting her family.
There is a momentous twist given to the usual encounter between Darcy and Wickham in Meryton. That was quite epic in my opinion! Well done! Darcy is ashamed however.
Of course there’s Lydia, poor stupid Lydia, although she seemed more innocent in this story and I rather felt sorry for the uneducated child she really is.
I enjoyed the subtle humour in places.
Mr. B. —“Perhaps he might prefer my Lizzy. He was quite taken with her intrepidity.”
Mrs. B.—“Well, she ought to have kept it better covered.”
This is such a good story. I truly loved the portrayals of ODC in this variation. David Pickering’s performance is always excellent.
