The Easter Gloves: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
“It is the hour to rend thy chains, The blossom time of souls.”
- Katherine Lee Bates
“The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.” - Basil Hume
This P&P collection includes two books, describing the most astonishing episodes occurred at Pemberley and Longbourn during the holidays of Easter and Valentine’s Day.
The Easter Gloves
Mr. Bingley has left Netherfield. Elizabeth has refused Mr. Darcy and an invitation has arrived that has set Mrs Bennet all of a flutter! An Easter ball at Pemberley delights everyone….except Elizabeth. When Elizabeth returns to Longbourn, armed with the knowledge that Mr Darcy has deliberately encouraged Mr. Bingley away from Jane, she is determined to do something about it. She cannot bear to see her sister so sad, especially when Mr. Darcy is the one to blame for Jane’s unhappiness. When Elizabeth’s father asks her to go to town to collect the family’s Easter gifts, she is more than delighted. She hopes that she may come across Mr. Bingley and have the opportunity to discreetly mention her sister’s true feelings. However, a chance meeting with Miss Georgiana Darcy turns all of her plans on their head. When Mr. Darcy appears to have changed his ways, Elizabeth finds herself struggling between her head and her heart. While she is able to help Mr. Bingley and Jane find one another again, Elizabeth must decide for herself where her future lies, and if it can be in the arms of the man she has already refused.
An Unforgettable Valentine’s Day
“Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. “ - William Shakespeare
“I do not want horses or diamonds - I am happy in possessing you.”
- Clara Schumann Elizabeth Bennet has rejected Mr Darcy’s proposal of marriage at Rosings and must now try to return to her quiet life at Longbourn. Her sister, Jane, is also despondent over the departure of Mr Bingley back to town, finding herself deeply in love with the man but unsure as to whether or not he returns her affections.
On one particular evening, she finds Mr Darcy thrown from his horse and, with Miss Georgiana Darcy’s help, brings him back to Pemberley, where she stays with Georgiana to assist with Mr Darcy’s recovery. She and Mr Darcy are finally able to mend the difficulties between them and Elizabeth is happy to consider Mr Darcy a friend.
Life continues on as normal and Elizabeth begins to enjoy finding herself again.
Their quiet life is thrown into disarray over the arrival of Mr Woodhouse to the estate of Bethmoraine. He is both handsome and genteel and Mrs Bennet is desperate that one of her daughters should marry the gentleman.
Elizabeth meets Mr Woodhouse unexpectedly and finds him to be quite friendly. Unfortunately for Elizabeth, her sister Kitty meets him also and is quite determined to have him for herself. Elizabeth is confused over how she feels about the man, since Mr Woodhouse seems quite enamoured with her younger sister. Any man who thinks Kitty’s conversation and company is something to be appreciated is not worth her time!
Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy are both in love with the Bennet sisters, and ask Miss Emma Woodhouse for help with their Saint Valentine’s gifts to the girls. Whilst Emma readily agrees, Elizabeth is frustrated with her constant efforts to push Mr Darcy back towards her. Elizabeth is confused over her feelings and asks Emma to stop.
