A Journey Unto Love

A Pride & Prejudice Sensual Retelling

Chapter 1

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when two sisters like the same gentleman, that gentleman should be disregarded by both. Family bonds are much more important than the attentions of the opposite sex. However, Miss Lydia Bennet, who could never be thought rational by anyone, did just the opposite.

As soon as Mr. Wickham joined the Hertfordshire militia, it was evident Elizabeth Bennet was pleased with him, and he liked her as well. Miss Lydia watched all this from the outskirts. She observed their smiling faces with pangs of jealousy. Her stare lingered at their tete-a-tetes, causing red hot anger to course through her veins. How could Mr. Wickham prefer her sister Elizabeth’s company when she was also in the same room?

Of the regiment, Mr. and Mrs. Forrester were to come, as well as Mr. Denny and Mr. Wickham. Four of the Bennet sisters were to make the trip, with Mary staying at home for traveling did not please her as it did the rest of her sisters.

The carriages were all arranged. Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and Miss Bingley were to ride in Mr. Bingley’s carriage. The four Bennet daughters were to ride in their family’s carriage. In Mr. and Mrs. Forrester’s carriage was to be Wickham and Denny.
