The Bennet / Darcy Contract Sharon E Garrison

This volume contains three short stories which are variations of Pride and Prejudice themes. In the Bennet/Darcy Contract, Mr. Thomas Bennet and Mr. George Darcy enter into a contract to unite one of the Bennet daughters to Mr. Darcy's son. We see how the two react to the contract in later years when one meets the other and knows about the contract but the other does not. In Questions and Answers: When Two Become One we begin with Mr. Darcy taking charge of a matter that would have been better handled if he had included Elizabeth Bennet in his plans at the outset. How do they manage to work together under such circumstances? In Lady Anne Darcy's Solution we find that Fitzwilliam Darcy has botched a proposal to Miss Elizabeth Bennet and came home to London unhappy and morose. Mrs. Darcy decided to ask him what was the matter and he told her, so she set about to rectify the matter and the story tells how she does it and whether or not she is successful.
