Mr. Darcy Comes to Town (Pride and Prejudice Variation)

He has disappeared again! Jeffry, Aunty’s guinea pig, will not stay put. He keeps disappearing and reappearing in unlikely places—once in the bottom of Lizzy’s reticule!

What Lizzy does not know, is that our favorite witch, Aunty, is sick with a nasty cold. She cannot help this version of Darcy and Lizzy find love this time.

They will have to help themselves, she determines. However, Jeffry, her companion guinea pig, has a different idea. This time, he will help Darcy and Lizzy find love.

At least, he will do his best until Aunty is feeling better. During the hottest autumn in recent memory, Darcy comes to Meryton.

Leaves have barely begun to change color and the Great Comet of 1811 still crosses the sky. But these are not the most interesting events that catch Darcy’s attention.

Instead, it is Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s way with animals that intrigues him. She has a guinea pig that seems to magically appear and disappear without warning. How is this possible? Lizzy meets Mr.

Darcy and immediately finds his attentions most gratifying—but does he truly like her animals? Or is he pretending out of politeness?

She cannot give up her gift with animals no matter how much she comes to care for Mr. Darcy. They will keep finding her regardless of where she lives, no matter her circumstances.

Witness Jeffry, whom her dog, Harry, finds practically on her doorstep. If Mr. Darcy wants her, he will have to take her with her animals, for she will not even leave her pet bull behind.
