A thank you goes out to those who read my work and have become friends through the stories I have written. Your encouragement and comments have given me the strength to keep improving. I am grateful to you, Jane Austen, for your wonderful characters that have lived throughout the past 200 years, and brought so much love to the lives of many. Here’s to another 200 years of people enjoying your stories. This is a work of fiction. Any names, characters, places, and incidents are either a created by the author’s imagination or are used with no intention of resembling actual persons, living or dead, events, or places. Any resemblance is entirely coincidental. Chapter 1 Fitzwilliam Darcy was enjoying the walk in the park surrounding his aunt’s home of Rosings Park, in Kent one sunny spring morning. Usually Darcy despised the annual visit he made to his aunt’s home each Easter, but this year he was beside himself with joy.
