Chapter 1: AUTHOR'S NOTICE

Just a note...

This story has been rewritten and renamed. The original can be found in the last chapter if you prefer to read that. The remastered version is much more detailed with some characters and situations changed from the original. Most of all, I hope that my writing skills have improved since my first attempt at storytelling.

With regards to this story, the following has been changed:

Elizabeth is a year older than in the book, so in 1811 she is already 21.

Richard Fitzwilliam is the Viscount as there is no older brother. Richard is the only son of the Earl and only spent a short while in the army.

Wickham's character is OCC due to a childhood incident; a bit of a what if. He is not the scoundrel we are all used to, therefore Georgiana was not pursued with a view of elopement.

Elizabeth is an only child. I wanted her to end up on her own with no one immediately around her, so there are no sisters or mother.

Bingley is a bit of a cad, but as there is no "angel" so is allowed to sow his wild oats freely without hurting a certain guinea blond goddess. If you are a Bingley fan, you may not like what I have done to him.
