In this variation of Jane Austen's classic, Colonel Fitzwilliam attends the ball in Meryton and gets off to a much better start with Elizabeth than does Mr Darcy. Unfortunately the colonel is to be reposted to the continent, and neither he nor Elizabeth have enough fortune to make a continued relationship prudent. But when circumstances change, can Mr Darcy overcome the poor first impression he has made on Elizabeth, or does he risk losing the only woman he ever loved to his cousin? This variation deviates from Jane Austen's original plot. It can be read as a complete story by itself, though the final resolution will come in the second volume. less
