Their paths have brushed on several occasions. He would have met her again at Pemberley, had he returned a day early instead of a day late. He has seen her once or twice at a distance. But they have never met face-to-face.
Deprived of his help at a crucial time, the Bennets are disgraced and ruined. After desperately searching for Lydia in London Mr Bennet fell sick; he died soon after. Longbourn was lost to Collins, Elizabeth compelled to work as child minder and lady’s companion. After hearing of her marriage to a clergyman, Darcy saw no alternative to getting married in his turn. But the union proved barren. He is now a widower with no heir.
The year is 1837, start of the Victorian era. Travelling from Pemberley to London, Darcy tries a new railway line for the final stretch to Euston. At a station along the way, he spots a woman hurrying towards the cheaper carriages …
Could it be Elizabeth? Might she now accept his friendship? After so many years of regret, has fortune granted him a chance of redemption?
