Summary
An apology more offensive than an infamous insult. A decidedly epic set down. A gentleman left properly humbled. An impertinent young lady provoked to civil disdain.
As humiliating as an ill-bred set down was from an impertinent country miss, the veracity of Elizabeth Bennet’s arguments and the humiliation at his own lack of understanding started to sink in.
After years of entrenched isolation, others would take notice if he appeared more civil. How was he to take his place in society without raising expectations?
He reaches out to the one person he can trust, Colonel Fitzwilliam, who joins the party at Netherfield.
The colonel’s plan for Mr. Darcy’s redemption seems on course until his aunt’s obsequious parson proposes marriage to Miss Bingley, setting off a flurry of unintended consequences that even he struggles to contain.
Longbourn is in an uproar. Lady Catherine de Bourgh is on a rampage. Darcy and Elizabeth are estranged.
Dear Listener, this Pride and Prejudice Variation is of the sweet, clean, and slightly witty sort. Although the book opens with an argument and a lot of accusations are thrown around, this story promises nothing more vulgar than Mrs. Bennet’s exclamations and a few ill-informed insinuations. Adult topics are discussed. There will be a happy ending for all.

An interesting variation
I enjoyed the story overall although the multiple proposal farce fell a bit flat. Narration was very good.

Great!
This book is very good. I especially liked the happier ending for Lydia. I also very much liked that colonel Fitzwilliam came into the story more to give great advice, I have always seen him as a fantastic side character.
Harry Frost does a great job narrating.

Above average Austen fic
I only chose this as one of those, "if you like X, you might like Y" recommendations, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially liked the alternative ending for Lydia and the efforts of Lady Catherine to foist her plans on the Bennets. There is plenty of humour and an excellent version of Colonel Fitzwilliam. Hope this author writes more.

A refreshing, funny and sweet variation
This is an amazing story! A fantastic Colonel, a persistent if a bit clueless Darcy, an oblivious Bingley and a quick to temper Lizzy. This was a great funny and sweet variation with the funniest proposal day I ever read! I loved this Colonel trying so hard to give Darcy some good advice and calling out his behaviour towards Lizzy. I struggled a bit with the changing behaviour of Lizzy she was easily swayed in this one but when she fell she fell hard! I loved the indiscreet kisses 😆 between ODC and I loved Lydia’s new and happier ending. Harry’s narration was amazing as always! His pacing, use of different characters voices and his overall story telling is second to none!
