Elizabeth grows up very much in the image of her father, except she is not indolent like he is.
For many years she does not see her father’s faults or, even with Jane’s urging, the damage the teasing and making fun of Fanny Bennet does. She is inured to her mother’s statements about her being nothing to Jane, and when she does not want to follow her mother’s orders, her father will usually support her.
As in canon, the Bingley’s, Hursts, and Darcy come to reside at Netherfield Park, and of course, Fanny decides that Jane is to marry a rich man. This version of Charles Bingley is one with resolve. Also, Darcy is much less tolerant of one Miss Caroline Bingley and her machinations.
After the insult at the assembly and Wickham’s tale of woe, Elizabeth begins to discover facts that challenge her prejudices and many of her long held beliefs. Thanks to herself, Jane, and Charlotte overhearing a certain conversation between some individuals, Elizabeth is shocked beyond belief. When she goes to the man she has always admired, her father, rather than take action, he dismisses her concerns and returns to his books and port.
This tale looks at her journey of self-discovery and how it effects all of the subsequent events in her life.
