- The
- course
- of
- true
- love
- never
- did
- run
- smooth…All
- seems
- well,
- as
- far
- as
- Elizabeth
- Bennet
- can
- tell.
- Jane
- is
- in
- love
- with
- Bingley,
- and
- he
- with
- her.
- Surely
- marriage
- is
- only
- a
- short
- time
- away.
- But
- for
- Mrs
- Bennet,
- securing
- the
- eligible
- bachelor
- under
- her
- roof
- is
- a
- better
- protection
- against
- future
- poverty
- than
- hoping
- for
- the
- prospect
- of
- another.
- And
- so
- it
- is
- that
- Elizabeth
- returns
- home
- one
- day
- to
- find
- her
- sister
- engaged,
- not
- to
- Mr
- Bingley,
- but
- to
- the
- rather
- more
- dreadful
- prospect
- of
- their
- cousin,
- Mr
- Collins.Begging
- her
- father
- to
- intervene,
- the
- marriage
- is
- delayed
- unless
- and
- until
- Mr
- Collins
- can
- convince
- Jane
- to
- marry
- him
- for
- his
- own
- merits,
- rather
- than
- upon
- her
- mother's
- interference.
- This
- sets
- the
- redoubtable
- Mr
- Collins
- a
- task,
- and
- he
- recruits
- eager
- Mary
- Bennet
- to
- help
- him
- "win
- fair
- Jane."
- Elizabeth
- refuses
- to
- leave
- matters
- to
- chance,
- and
- instead
- is
- determined
- to
- thrust
- her
- sister
- and
- Mr
- Bingley
- back
- into
- one
- another's
- circles
- again,
- although
- this
- means
- being
- at
- close
- quarters
- with
- Mr
- Darcy,
- a
- man
- who
- she
- so
- dislikes.
- Her
- actions
- have
- another
- unintended
- consequence,
- however,
- when
- Mr
- Bingley's
- wavering
- attachment
- to
- Jane
- begins
- to
- consider
- fixing
- to
- another
- fair
- maiden
- -
- Elizabeth
- herself.Can
- everyone
- find
- their
- way
- to
- their
- rightful
- partners,
- or
- is
- this
- muddle
- to
- end
- in
- each
- married
- to
- the
- wrong
- person?A
- Pride
- and
- Prejudice
- variation,
- and
- book
- 1
- in
- the
- Pathway
- to
- Pemberley series.
