Description

In Pride and Prejudice Fitzwilliam Darcy starts his romance with Elizabeth Bennet with what: "She's tolerable, although not handsome enough to tempt me; I'm in no humour at the moment togive effect to young women who're slighted by other men." What might have happened if Mr. Darcy had never talked so disdainfully? First Thoughts examines the way the activities of Jane Austen's beloved book might have happened if Darcy and Elizabeth had danced together in the Meryton Assembly. Jane and Bingley's partnership flowers unimpeded, Mary makes a most lucky complement, and Lydia never sets a base in Brighton.
