    Summary

    When Mrs Reynolds officiously informs Darcy that she will not continue on at Pemberley if he brings his termagant of a cousin, Anne, to be its Mistress, Darcy is forced to realise that his view of duty has been dictating his entire life--and he is miserable.

    "I am sure your mother and father would not wish you to sacrifice your future felicity on the altar of family duty!" she tells him boldly. "Do you not have a duty to Pemberley, to Miss Darcy, and, forgive me for being so bold, to yourself, sir?"

    He decides his faithful housekeeper is right. He is allowed to choose--the colour of his waistcoats, what he eats for supper, and ultimately, his own bride!

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth Bennet has been striving with blood, sweat, and tears to maintain some of her family's respectability, but with her mother's decline, her father's indolence, and her home farm's desperate drainage problems, it is only a matter of time before she breaks under the strain of it all.

    Will the arrival of a certain landowner from Derbyshire relieve her burdens at last? Or will the officious interference of his noble relations keep them apart?

Instead, he decides to get to know her for a better sense of her feelings towards his dearest friend—and the friendship that forms between Darcy and Jane has impacts on more than just themselves.
