    Summary

    Caroline turned away again, her jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

    This was absurd.

    She had been placed — maneuvered — into this situation. Separated from Lady Catherine, from the sphere in which her attentions might be properly directed and, more importantly, properly observed. Installed instead in a light, exposed carriage with a younger son whose fortune was uncertain and whose prospects, while respectable, were by no means assured.

    It was, she thought, a test.

    Or a trap.

    All orchestrated by Eliza Bennet Mrs. Darcy.

    Very well.

    If she could not avoid it, she would endure it — and on her own terms. She suddenly felt very cross, and became determined to make Colonel Fitzwilliam feel very cross as well.

    Summary

    Mary had, of course, warned him, in her careful and precise way, that her sisters were coming to London in a fortnight and would very likely call on Tuesday. She said this the way she said most things - directly, without embellishment, and as though the facts spoke sufficiently for themselves. Tom had nodded and thought: sisters. Yes. He had older sisters that he was very fond of. He found himself quite confused at the undertone of dread Mary seemed to have as she anticipated the visit. “I understand sisters very well, my dear!”

    It turned out, he did not understand the Bennets.

    Summary

    Charles Bingley is not what he seems to be. The story also features evil officers, baffled gentlemen, young ladies of marriageable age, and one multi-purpose tree.
