Description:He had endeavoured to disregard her, to forget her vivacity, her wit, her fine character; he sought to forget the fine, perfectly respectable birth of her father, in favour of remembering who would inherit her family properties upon that father’s death.
AFTER THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED DEATH of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Fitzwilliam Darcy resolves himself to marry his cousin, Miss Anne de Bourgh. Rosings Park, he decides, must do as inducement for a loveless marriage, and for putting aside any thoughts of Elizabeth Bennet.
YULETIDE DREAMS SOON BESET HIM however, with angelic visitors, including Lady Anne Darcy, and a phantom Mr Collins showing him poignant scenes from his past, alarming possibilities in the present, and a shocking spectacle for his future. Darcy thus finds his resolutions changed, from the prudent to the poetic as he is taught that love must triumph over all.
BUT IS HE TOO LATE to win the hand of his fair lady from Hertfordshire?
