A Case of Some Urgency

With shaking fingers, Bennet unfolded the missive and scanned to the bottom of the second page for a signature: Fitzwilliam Darcy.

When Lydia Bennet elopes with George Wickham it seems certain that the fledging second chance at love between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy has been destroyed. Dashing home from her visit to Pemberley, Elizabeth Bennet re-reads Darcy’s letter and regrets what surely can never be, not now.

Desperate times often call for desperate measures, as Mr Bennet is soon to discover under the most painful of circumstances. His search for Lydia and Wickham is proving unfruitful and still worse—he has discovered signs of a secret romance between his most sensible second daughter and none other than Mr Darcy.

Seeing an opportunity to both avoid ruination and perhaps have some redemption of the family name, Mr Bennet is quick to visit Mr Darcy with a proposed solution. But every solution provides a new set of challenges for Darcy and Elizabeth in this tale of romance lost and found.
