Mrs Darcy is not herself, and her husband is beginning to fear the worst. Elizabeth insists there is nothing wrong, but she has grown distant enough to convince Darcy that he must somehow have failed her.

So he sets about putting things right. Unfortunately, the more determined he becomes to restore his wife’s happiness, the more spectacularly he seems to misunderstand the problem.

A funny and romantic Pride and Prejudice short story variation about marriage, miscommunication and a much happier reason for Mrs Darcy’s change of mood than her husband ever imagined.
