This time, the most impertinent Bennet of them all, Elizabeth, tumbled through the gateway. Except she left not as the grown women with whom we have become so familiar, but rather as a 10-year-old girl who had been playing a simple game of hide-and-seek.

Darcy is on a quest. His mission is to restore the impertinence and joy which used to dance in the fine eyes of Miss Elizabeth Bennet and had captured his heart, although his mind told him not to give in.

Elizabeth Bennet is a gentlewoman. Society rules prevent her joining the search. But why would the arrogant and disdainful Mr. Darcy persist in the task?
