Saving Jane: A Variation on Pride and Prejudice

By Martin Hunnicutt

When no young man leases Netherfield Park and her daughters are referred to as 'wall flowers' at the Meryton Assembly, Mrs. Bennet becomes even more determined to find them husbands. The family is shocked to discover that Lydia will have an 'unexpected visitor' in the spring and to avoid scandal, the youngest daughter is married far from Longbourn. When Mr. Bennet announces the impending visit of his cousin, Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet sends Elizabeth to London to stay with the Gardiners. With Elizabeth out of the house, Mrs. Bennet speaks with Jane of her duty to her family. When the engagement of Mr. Collins and Miss Jane Bennet is announced, Elizabeth is saddened and seeks solitude in the park across from the Gardiner's home where she meets a distressed young lady who has been deserted by her lady's companion. Miss Georgiana Darcy requires a friendly shoulder and an escort home where Elizabeth meets the cold, older brother. When Elizabeth and Georgiana begin a friendship based on books and music, Mr. Darcy pays attention to Miss Elizabeth Bennet and they begin to fall in love. But can Elizabeth and Darcy save Jane from her betrothal to Mr. Collins?
