Dialogue is convoluted. Descriptions have a strange way of using words that are unfitting; not quite wit, not quite poetry… more like a bad translation or using a defective synonym dictionary !
References to canon are forced and don’t add anything to the story other than puzzlement >> like Lizzy talking to Darcy about Lady Catherine’s garden… when she never visited Rosing OR Kent !

“… he had expected to meet her in Kent that spring”
>> this makes no sense, because in this version Collins doesn’t marry Charlotte or anyone from Meryton, he ends the entail and cuts all association with the Bennets, so WHY would Lizzy go to Kent at all, and WHY would Darcy “expect” to meet her there for Easter, since he & Bingley left after the Netherfield Ball without goodbye?!
