    Summary

    Anne de Bourgh decides that she will never marry, and enlists the help of the Earl of Matlock to find her closest relations on her father's side. The Bennets of Longbourn sound respectable enough, and when Anne asks for help in making an introduction and, perhaps, even choosing the heir of Rosings from amongst them, the Fitzilliam family insist on helping her. Anne might yet regret asking.

    Alternatively: what if Darcy's embarrassing relations did not stop at Lady Catherine?

    (Eventual E/D, other pairings to be decided.)

    Summary

    Story summary: Rosings Park was left to Anne de Bourgh when Sir Lewis de Bourgh passed. With Anne is facing her own death, she arranges a nefarious scheme to allow her mother to stay at Rosings while giving Elizabeth independence.

    EB&FD will end up with a HEA, but this is not a story for everyone. Most of the major themes in this story come from history, people I've known, or things the author has experienced.

    This story was originally published in 2016 as "Lady Catherine Heading for the Hedgerows". It was taken down at the start of 2019. It was restarted in April of 2020. See Ch 1 for a more detailed description of what happened. I am now back to reposting the stories for your enjoyment. I will be posting at least 1 chapter a week.

    This story is 39 chapters with the last 3 being an epilogue and bonus content.

    Enjoy.

    Summary

    Elizabeth tours Pemberley with the Gardiners a year early, while the Darcys are away at Ramsgate. She is intrigued by the housekeeper's glowing praise of a man who is highly respected by his servants and tenants, and a doting guardian to his much younger sister, not to mention so handsome in his portrait. But when she meets him in person two months later in Hertfordshire, he doesn't quite match Mrs Reynolds' description.
