Surprised not to enjoy his involuntary isolation, he makes his way on foot to Longbourn, and finds in the Bennets the warmth and society he didn't know he needed..

Three Christmassy Pride and Prejudice Variations. Christmas at PemberleyNewly-married Elizabeth Darcy is determined that her first Christmas at Pemberley with Mr Darcy will be a happy one, and if that means scheming for her new sister to find happiness then that's what she will do!Georgiana Darcy is delighted to see her brother so happy and adores her new sister-in-law. She is rather less enamoured with the new curate of their parish, who seems rude, arrogant and unbearably dull upon their first meeting. Forced to interact with him to organise a Christmas concert, however, she begins to glimpse a different side to him and wonders if her first impressions were mistaken¿Mr Daniel Lambert is overworked and overwhelmed in his new role as curate. The Christmas season is busy and he is desperate not to let his parishioners or his family down.

Throw in an uncanny ability to offend the one young lady his heart stubbornly refuses to ignore and the complicated machinations and missteps of those around him and the festive season could prove rather more eventful than anyone anticipated...

Happily married and settled at Pemberley, Elizabeth Darcy's mind inevitably turns to securing a similar happiness for those around her - namely, for her sister-in-law and friend, Georgiana Darcy. When word reaches them of their cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam's plans to visit Derbyshire during the summer, Lizzy decides they must celebrate the Christmas he was unable to mark in winter. The unusual festivities capture everyone's imaginations, and prompt Mr and Mrs Darcy to spot the possibility of romance between Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam - but are they mistaken or will love triumph at Christmas, even a Christmas celebrated in summertime?

Their hopes of a truly happy Christmas dashed by the absence of their new friends at Netherfield, Lizzy Bennet is still determined to enjoy a quiet Christmas at home with her family - until a very heavy snowfall crashes through the roof of Longbourn and puts all their plans to ruin! Charles Bingley's excuse for a fleeting visit to Netherfield Park is a flimsy one, but when Fitzwilliam Darcy agrees to accompany him, he certainly does not expect a sudden shift in the weather to leave them stranded in Hertfordshire for Christmas - much less to see the very family he had hoped to avoid are in need of just the kind of neighbourly assistance Bingley gleefully offers. Gallantry gives way to humility but will a significant injury to Mr Darcy's pride soften his spirit enough for the true magic of Christmas to work a happy ending for him and Elizabeth Bennet - the young lady he cannot remain oblivious to, despite his best efforts...
