A Shade in His Character

When I read Pride and Prejudice, a lot of what-if scenarios came up. What if Mr. Darcy told the people in Meryton about Wickham's infamous behaviour, would Lydia Bennet still have eloped?

What if Elizabeth Bennet asked Mr. Darcy's help to find Lydia just a few days after the disastrous proposal while he was still angry with her, would he have asked her to be his mistress in exchange for his help?

This brilliant what-if scenario, which my novel based on, was devised by Lavender Girl in A Shade of His Character. The story is not yet finished and I am forever in hope that she will finish it one day, even though I have taken her plot to another direction.
