Twice Shy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
What if she hadn’t heard his insult? What if she readily saw his attraction to her and soon felt the same? What if two Bennet sisters had been left behind?
When Miss Elizabeth Bennet attracts the attention of the reserved and diffident Mr Darcy, it comes as a surprise to no one. Although he does not converse readily with strangers nor interact with those outside his own party, he singles Elizabeth out for one dance, then another. He seeks her out, he engages her in conversation, he watches her constantly. It is soon the belief of the community, fuelled readily by Mrs Bennet’s constant speculation, that the handsome, wealthy gentlemen of Netherfield will marry the two eldest Bennet sisters.
But Mr Darcy’s initial inclination against a country gentleman’s daughter will not change, no matter how often Mrs Bennet proclaims it, and his reservations about her family and connections are as strong as ever. He returns to London without a thought for the lady he leaves behind, nor her dashed and publicly thwarted hopes.
Heartbroken and pitied, Elizabeth wants nothing more to do with the rude Mr Darcy. When circumstances bring them together again, she is determined not to make the same mistake twice.
This is a full-length ‘Pride and Prejudice’ variation based on the novel by Jane Austen.
