The Darcys: New Pleasures

Mr. Darcy has long been every woman s ideal. Darkly handsome, he is a gentleman of vast wealth and exceptional leg. His virility, whilst of considerable note, is not what invites our adoration. His true allure is his all-encompassing love for his wife. Indeed, Elizabeth and Darcy s passion for each other remains steadfast. In this, Ms. Berdoll s 4th continuation, there is but one test that stands in the way of the Darcys boundless happiness. It is an ordeal familiar to parents through the ages. Their offspring have come of age and are eager to pursue their own love affairs. Moreover, Elizabeth Darcy, the Mistress of Pemberley, has been overtaken by a peculiar malaise. Her disorder has the entire family in a state of agitation. Darcy is particularly uneasy. Hence, when he learns that his son engaged in a flirtation with a village wench, he reproves him a tad too vehemently. His pride injured, Geoff flings himself headlong down Calamity Road in the company of George Wickham s son.
