Matlock Bath, Derbyshire

No Finer County

Charles Bingley did not lease a house in the country and Fitzwilliam Darcy was unable to visit Lady Catherine the following Easter. Therefore, when the Master of Pemberley arrives home to find a young woman visiting with her Aunt and Uncle, he knows that they have never met before, yet she leaves an indelible impression upon him.

This short story was originally written as an experiment. I decided to take a scene from Pride and Prejudice and, by making only small changes to the existing text, turn it into something completely different from the book.

Because of this you will recognise in 'No Finer County' a large proportion of Jane Austen's own words. I've also borrowed a little from Andrew Davies as well. Finally, I couldn't have finished this without the help of Claire. Thank you, Claire!
