In this variation Mary Bennet is visiting her godmother and aunt, Lady Watts, when she meets Georgiana Darcy in a bookshop and they become friends. Mary believing that Darcy and Elizabeth would be suited contrives to invite Elizabeth to London. But not all is smooth to that happy ending.
Is this variation there is no Caroline Bingley or Mr. Collins, but there is Wickham and his deeds.
An enjoyable story ( )

I really enjoyed this story and loved how Georgiana and Mary were written and seeing their friendship. It was fun to watch the two of them act as matchmakers for Elizabeth and Darcy. I also really liked the inclusion of having an aunt from Mr. Bennets' side of their family acting as Mary's godmother and having Mary and Elizabeth staying with her in London for awhile. All the characters were well written and I enjoyed reading about and seeing how this story progressed. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future. ( )
