Summary
He could hardly stop thinking of Elizabeth, and no longer tried to convince himself that he should.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is drawn to Elizabeth Bennet from the day they met, captivated by her cleverness, her charm, and her good humour. While he initially sees only a friendship between them, his feelings for her soon grow more ardent, even while he tries to persuade himself she would be an unsuitable bride. At length, however, his pride and his prejudices must be laid aside; he knows that to be happy in marriage is more important.
Alas, just as he grows certain of his own heart and mind, a problem reveals itself. Mr. William Collins, a cousin of the Bennets who has lived in Longbourn since his boyhood, returns to Hertfordshire. The fondness between Elizabeth and Mr. Collins is clear, and Darcy begins to fear there is an understanding between them. His fears are confirmed by Miss Caroline Bingley, who warns him that the pair are on the brink of matrimony.
A chance encounter when he is visiting his aunt, Lady Catherine, changes everything. Deceptions are uncovered and friendships end, but is it too late for him and the woman he loves?
A Matter of Prudence is a Pride and Prejudice vagary in which mistaken identities and false assumptions complicate the road to true love for Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

Very enjoyable.
This was indeed a very nice story. As it usually is, it was nice not to have Wicham in the role as villain. Other than a few passing mentions he was completely absent. Instead we have a mercenary Bingley who, in my opinion, though behaving in a most dishonorable way still seemed to have a small shred of goodness, even if he completely disregarded it.
To my great pleasure, this delightful telling held a most agreeable surprise. Never have I liked the character of Mr Collins more. I truly liked how he was portrayed.
The narration was very good and while I do have my favorite narrators, as I am sure we all do, I find myself in want of seeking out more from this particular person.
Thank you for a great experience. ❤️
