Darcy's Longest Day: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
M. A. Sandiford
Dawn. St Albans, Hertfordshire. Fitzwilliam Darcy travels north with his sister, bound for Pemberley. In his frockcoat pocket lies a letter to Elizabeth Bennet, penned the night after his disastrous proposal. He intended to hand it to her before quitting Rosings for London, but their paths never crossed.
His plan is to call at Longbourn while visiting Bingley, now returned to Netherfield. Darcy broods over possible complications. Elizabeth might refuse the letter. Bingley might have lost Jane Bennet’s esteem. The militia (including Wickham) might still be quartered in Meryton …
But these are minor worries. For what awaits him is a life and death struggle to protect all he holds dear, in what will prove the most momentous day of his life.
