Status Updates From Her Father's Eyes: A Pride ...

The story emphasizes Christmas every other paragraph = Christmas time dictating characters’ presence and movements, Elizabeth being a Christmas present to the family, an upcoming Twelftht Night ball being particularly significant.

It makes me think the story was planned as a seasonal release and somehow the actual launch was pushed forward for some reason…

Started skipping ... Darcy's internal monolog is condescending ... if it keeps going like this it has a potential DNF.

The whole timeline is wrong = Elizabeth’s father is Cnel Fitzwilliam’s uncle; the Cnel is said to be 29 years old, and to have been “secretly” named for his uncle, but under pretense of being called after another relation because of the “scandal”.

But the scandal only happened when E’s father eloped with E’s mom 1.5 years before Elizabeth was born.

Elizabeth is only 20 years old at this point.

Mr. Bennet says >> “You are an heiress, Lizzy.” He chuckled. “How could I have forgot that?

INDEED ! HOW IN THE WORLD did he manage to “forget” that pesky detail of inherited wealth ?? [ eye roll ]

Are we supposed to believe that Mr. Bennet conveniently “forgot” the name of his only sister’s husband, and little Elizabeth’s father, even after receiving a letter from his sister’s hand, and documents of his brother-in-law’s will ??? Because he was distracted, there was family turmoil, and then Old Mr. Gardiner’s office (conveniently) burned down ????? [ eye roll ]
