Fitzwilliam Darcy has dealt with the matter of Elizabeth’s sister, the former Miss Lydia Bennet. Finally he is able to return to Hertfordshire to see Miss Elizabeth. He hopes profoundly that she might agree to him calling upon her—it has been an agonisingly long time since she refused him at Hunsford. Surely her sense of justice will permit him to prove he is a better man? And—she did smile upon him in the summer. Before her youngest sister had torn them apart. Elizabeth Bennet finds Lydia’s loud and vulgar behaviour is more than she can bear. She is utterly grateful for Mr. Darcy’s acts in saving them all from ruin. But he could never wish to see her again, knowing who her new brother-in-law is. Will her own unladylike retaliation and her new brother-in-law forever forbid Mr. Darcy from seeking her out? A Slap for Lydia is a quick short novelette of over 14,000 words, ideal for when you have an inclination for a Darcy and Elizabeth sweet fix romance, but only a little time.
