    Summary

    A selection of letters sent after Elizabeth and Darcy become engaged.

    From an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with Mr Darcy had been over-rated, Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs Gardiner's long letter; but now, having that to communicate which she knew would be most welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and immediately wrote…

    Mr Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style; and still different from either was what Mr Bennet sent to Mr Collins, in reply to his last.

    The joy which Miss Darcy expressed on receiving similar information, was as sincere as her brother's in sending it. Four sides of paper were insufficient to contain all her delight, and all her earnest desire of being loved by her sister.

    Summary

    Darcy knew he was a bit of an exception among his male friends. Most of them had been brought to a brothel or high-end courtesan’s playground to be introduced to the art of sex. But Darcy had missed that particular rite of passage. And now – now he is marrying the love of his life. He does not want to ruin it by being a hungry desperate mess on their first night. So, he does the only thing he can think of: research the hell out of the idea.
