A Matchmaking Mother
Jann Rowland
- What
- is
- a
- mother
- to
- do?
- A
- marriage
- of
- convenience,
- even
- when
- it
- brings
- the
- benefit
- of
- great
- wealth,
- cannot
- be
- agreeable,
- especially
- when
- the
- principals
- of
- the
- union
- are
- ill-suited.
- The
- mother
- who
- loves
- her
- son
- has
- no
- choice
- but
- to
- interfere,
- and
- the
- best
- way
- to
- do
- so
- is
- to
- present
- another
- option.At
- the
- Netherfield
- ball,
- Elizabeth
- is
- introduced
- to
- the
- dearest
- ladies
- in
- Mr.
- Darcy's
- life:
- his
- mother
- and
- sister.
- Though
- Elizabeth
- does
- not
- care
- much
- for
- the
- proud
- Mr.
- Darcy,
- the
- friendliness
- of
- his
- relations
- soon
- make
- them
- favorites.
- Then,
- when
- an
- invitation
- is
- extended
- for
- Elizabeth
- and
- her
- elder
- sister
- to
- visit
- in
- London,
- the
- sisters
- accept,
- eager
- to
- continue
- their
- acquaintances
- with
- the
- Darcy
- ladies.Elizabeth,
- though
- eager
- to
- go
- to
- London,
- knows
- she
- will
- live
- in
- the
- same
- house
- as
- Mr.
- Darcy,
- and
- having
- already
- done
- so,
- she
- is
- not
- eager
- to
- be
- close
- to
- the
- gentleman
- again.
- The
- closer
- she
- grows
- to
- his
- family,
- however,
- the
- more
- Elizabeth
- begins
- to
- discover
- about
- Mr.
- Darcy.
- When
- love
- blossoms,
- the
- machinations
- of
- others
- threaten
- to
- interfere,
- but
- a
- mother
- set
- on
- protecting
- her
- children
- will
- not
- be denied.
