Today I've got a story about unspoken love, romance and missed opportunities.
It's about a young girl called Elizabeth whose mother is looking for a good man to marry her.
Elizabeth would love to meet the man of her dreams too and thinks she has when she attends a very smart party.
He's called Fitzwilliam Darcy.
a wealthy man who has the looks, rather handsome,
shiny thick black hair, dark brown eyes, smartly dressed, very tall.
Not only that, he has the look of someone who's very important.
Oh, and did I mention he's single?
But there's a problem.
Mr. Darcy is very proud, and isn't big on talking.
And being a wealthy and important man,
he looks on someone from a lower status in society such as Elizabeth's family with contempt.
But there's something about Elizabeth that interests him.
However, she hears about some bad things he's done.
and it looks like he's someone best to avoid, so she decides to steer clear of him.
