Miss Darcy's Introduction

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Hailey Jones

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if Mr. Darcy brought Georgiana with him to Netherfield after the disastrous Ramsgate incident—and what if she also overheard his slight when he said Elizabeth Bennet was “tolerable, but not handsome enough” to tempt him to dance?

What if Georgiana took it upon herself to apologize to Elizabeth on behalf of her brother, and then sought to introduce them to one another?

Thus begins Miss Darcy's Introduction...

Georgiana Darcy is horrified to overhear her brother say that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is “tolerable, but not handsome enough” to tempt him to dance—what's worse, she knows Miss Elizabeth heard it, too! She immediately sets out to right the wrong of her brother by requesting an introduction to Miss Elizabeth, and when they are introduced, she nervously apologizes on his behalf.

Meanwhile, Darcy watches the scene from across the room, mortified that his little teenage sister is taking it upon herself to speak for him. He's embarrassed for his sister to have caught him being so rude—and even more embarrassed to realize that the woman he slighted actually is handsome enough to tempt him...

Georgiana's presence at Netherfield brings unexpected situations: Caroline Bingley has designs to match her brother up with young Miss Darcy, and Georgiana desires to be friends with—and eventually family to—the boisterous Bennet sisters.

Elizabeth unexpectedly loses her heart to Mr. Darcy, only to learn he despises every member of her family, including her. But what she does not know, is that Mr. Darcy is caught in a struggle between his apparent lust for Elizabeth and his disdain for her family—until a situation of life or death for Elizabeth causes him to realize his heart has not just been touched, but captured completely.

Horrible AI Performance

There is no “feeling” or character to this reading. AI cannot perform fiction. Laughable at times, frustrating at others. Storyline had potential but was dumb and the end ball scene ruined the whole thing. So disappointed. Luckily it was only 3 hours and I could listen while cleaning my house.

I like the addition of Georgiana but the ending felt abrupt.

I liked the addition of Georgiana to the storyline. I think it was a great idea. I don’t understand the need to add Darcy feeling Elizabeth up at the end & the ending felt abrupt. He starts feeling her up & it ends with a short cliche epilogue. I really do think the author has something with exploring how the story would have been influenced by the presence of Georgiana.
