Pride and Prejudice: The Lake Scene

Day 21: Thirty days of Austen

“Mrs Darcy, as I have tried to explain on several occasions, my intentions towards your family have always been entirely honourable.”

“Indeed, sir? Then you have certainly kept your honour well hidden.” She softened slightly. “So, to what do I owe the pleasure of our encounter on this windy night? I trust that you are not leading me on yet another merry dance.”

“No, Mrs Darcy,” said Mr Wickham, “I hope you know me well enough by now to trust that I will do no such thing. No, come this way towards the quarry. I have something to show you. This time I really do believe I know what has happened to poor Lydia.”

For a moment, Elizabeth was lost for words. “Please do not trifle with me, Mr Wickham,” she said quietly.

“No, Mrs Darcy, I mean it,” said Wickham. “The truth is out there. Although, sadly, it is not yet universally acknowledged.”

Mrs Darcy vs The Aliens is a slightly demented sequel to Pride and Prejudice, although it has been described more accurately as “not so much Pride and Prejudice‘s sequel as its bastard offspring following a drunken one-night stand with the X-Files.”
