Lit Reader’s Reviews > A Cottage Near Lambton: A Pride & Prejudice Variation > Status Update

We are told Darcy is struck surprised by seeing Elizabeth “in color” for the first time (at an asembly).

But we were explicitly told that from the first day the Bennet sisters left mourning attire, Darcy and Elizabeth have been together several times, at Pemberley (visiting Georgiana) and once on a day excursion to see Bingley’s new home.

Very ill advised for the author to name Bingley’s newly purchased home Haddon Hall — this is the name of a super important, well known, real-life historic building in Derbyshire. It’s a massive medieval castle, former seat of the Dukes of Rutland, still in the hands of the Manners family (the current Duke’s brother)

Bingley can’t afford this one !

There are several instances of editorial gaffes in which a scene is sort of retold in different/consecutive paragraphs with slight alterations or in a circular pattern that is confusing to read : a farewell that happens with similar words in two or three different places, Mary or Kitty saying the exact same words on different scenes reacting to similar situations.

Probably different drafts copy-pasted together

Mr Darcy addresses Miss Darcy and says “with your mother’s approval” — WHAT IS THIS???

Is this a typo, an editorial misstep, or a new addition to this variation that we have not been told before ??

Funny how a trip from Meryton to Lambton includes commentary on the landscape near London (a usual geographical gaffe).
