What if Darcy asked Elizabeth to dance the supper set at the Netherfield Ball?
Thus begins Dancing the Supper Set...
Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance the supper set, which means they would have to dine together as well. Elizabeth wants to refuse, for she despises the disdainful man, especially after what he did to Mr. Wickham—but something about the way Darcy asks her makes her accept him anyway. They dance, they sup, and all seems to go well...until they have a loud argument—a mortifying experience, to say the least.
Can they repair the damage to see how well they go together? Or will the Netherfield Ball end their relationship before it even begins?
Read on to discover how ODC finds their HEA in Hailey Jones's sweet Pride & Prejudice romance, Dancing the Supper Set.
What would have happened if Elizabeth Bennet agreed to the supper set with Mr. Darcy at the Netherfield Ball? The possibility of it is delved into in this brief story.
The remarkable thing about this novella is how honest, humble and open-minded the leads are, and how expeditiously they did it. Mr. Darcy is quick to realize his mistakes, quick to ask for pardon, and quick to forgive. So is Elizabeth’s realizations about how she misjudged the gentleman who once insulted her at the Meryton Assembly, and how promptly she asks for Mr. Darcy’s understanding of her confusions and doubts about it him. Everything happens in the Supper Set, while they dined, and quickly thereafter.
In this note, this is also why this variation is a bit insufficient. The foundation of romance is shallow and not so dug into too deeply, perhaps because of the author’s intention for a shorter variation. One cannot help but wonder what might have been if this was a full-length novel. A 3 and 1/2 stars rounded up to 4.
