“You have willfully misunderstood me, Miss Bennet. You have no worry of my releasing you, for I do not wish you to perform as a governess to my daughter, but rather as my wife and the mistress of my hereditary estate.”
Elizabeth Bennet had thought the stranger quite handsome; yet, she had ignored those first tendrils of interest, for she was in no position for the gentleman to pursue her. She and her sister Mary were all who remained of their family. Moreover, Longbourn and its furnishings were to be sold. They were destitute, and, if fortunate, headed for service in some stranger's household.
Fitzwilliam Darcy's proposal of marriage would save both Mary and her, for her sister had agreed to assist with the gentleman's young daughter. But what of the man's tale of having corresponded with her father and of Mr. Bennet having purported a marriage between this stranger and her? Elizabeth knew nothing of the arrangement nor of the man's existence. Though their marriage would solve all her troubles, what if the man's tale was not completely truthful? Would Mr. Darcy become her enemy or a man she could learn to love?
