Wits & Wagers: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Amy D'Orazio

Fitzwilliam Darcy, feeling overwhelming despair at the finality of Elizabeth Bennet’s rejection at Hunsford, decides he must accept the fate that duty has dictated to him. His cousins Colonel Fitzwilliam and Viscount Saye are aghast at Darcy’s decision and do their best to thwart him, with cajolery, threats, and bribery all failing to move him. At last, the colonel suggests a daring one last chance to reunite Darcy and Elizabeth, and one last opportunity for love.
But nothing is as it seems in this battle of wits, where the stakes are true love. Everyone has their wagers placed, waiting to see whose plan for happily ever after will prevail.
