Mr. Bennet Takes Charge

Elizabeth Bennet's journey to the lakes is canceled, and she expects to spend a quiet summer at home. When Mr. Bingley, along with his elusive friend Mr. Darcy, return to Netherfield, a quiet summer is turned topsy-turvy. Though Elizabeth's opinion of the gentleman has improved, she never thought to see him again.

Then Elizabeth learns her sister, Lydia, means to elope with a rake, and the very respectability of her family is at stake. Elizabeth takes heart, however, when her father rises to the occasion, in a way she would never have predicted. With Mr. Darcy's assistance, there may still be time to prevent calamity, and even find love, against all odds.
