Before starting the story, let me assure you, old sports that I've got permission from dear Gykinga for mentioning her story's feedback.

Crack-fic! Au! OOC-ness!

Hope, you'll enjoy it!


After Caroline's letter – the first one – to Jane…

"Oh! At least you aren't going to an unmarried man's house, a stranger's house when he's there," nodded Mrs. Bennet to herself.

"Can I have the carriage?" said Jane.

"What and go by yourself, alone, no less!" Cried Mrs. Bennet. "I'm not one of those loose women to let my daughter go alone."

"Perhaps I accompany her, ma'am, would help," suggested Elizabeth.

"Nonsense, nonsense! Then two girls go by themselves. It's worse. Then we're risking the reputation of my two daughters." She shook her head vehemently. "I never would have let that happen."

"Papa, what do you suggest?" Asked Elizabeth.

Mr. Bennet at long last lifted his eyes from his book and looked at ladies. He huffed wistfully. "If I had a son, if I had a son, we wouldn't have such a problem. Lizzy as she's my tomboy, then she could act as the protector of her sister's virtue."

"Mr. Bennet what are you saying? Are you denying a good future for our daughter, the favourite of yourself? If a tomboy, she's still a girl. You get off your arse and chaperone our daughter to Netherfield."

"La, I poured glue on the sofa!" Both youngest laughed at Lydia's mischief.

"Oh, Lydia! My poor nerves! I'll send Mrs. Hill as the chaperone."

"But mama, a servant isn't accountable as one. Others would think we buy off her to not say anything about," objected Lizzy.

"Then the butler," she added dejectedly.

Mary, after not participating in their discussion, said her view on the matter, "can butler be truthful? Is he not still a man with persuasive evil about his own person to make a bold act against Jane? After all, they'll be alone in a carriage. God knows what they could do there! A woman's virtue is the most holy thing she should preserve. If not then she would be a –"

"I'm not whore!" Jane stood up. "I don't go, because I'm a woman living in the regency era! I'm not a whore."

All agreed with her and the matter settled. No girl of the regency era would go by herself to another house and pride and prejudice wasn't finished by Jane Austen as the story would be inconsistent with the rules of the society of the regency era.


The educating and inspiring comments from one too many intelligent reviewers who kindly explain THAT'S NOT TO BE BORNE such an inconsistency: "she went unescorted (in the regency era) to the house of an unmarried man (a virtual stranger). And the same comments… from several JAFF polices!

So Jane's a w****!"

have a good good day, old sports!
