Mr Darcy and the Bingleys - Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Angela Parisi - Menoutis was my guest on January 13rd (HERE). On that occasion she introduced herself to you, as well as presented her Austenesque novel , Two Different Worlds: A Dance from Pride and Prejudice.
There was a quiz attached to a book giveaway contest. The question Angela asked was: "In the canon of "Pride and Prejudice", where is there inferred evidence that Darcy, like Caroline Bingley, may have also wished his sister to marry Charles Bingley? To be entered you had to answer that and to email your guesses to her. The contest is now over and ... she has finally picked the name of the winner among the ones who sent her the correct answer.Congratulations to J. June Williams for winning Angela's brilliant version of Pride and Prejudice!
Here are the correct answers:Pride and Prejudice chapter 21, letter from Caroline to Jane Bennet:
Not a syllable had ever reached her {Caroline} of Miss Darcy's meditated elopement. To no creature had it been revealed, where secresy was possible, except to Elizabeth; andfrom all Bingley's connexions her brother {Darcy} was particularly anxious to conceal it {elopement}, from that very wish which Elizabeth had long ago attributed to him, of their {Bingley's connexions} becoming hereafter her own {becoming Georgiana's connexions}. He had certainly formed such a plan, and without meaning that it should effect his endeavour to separate him from Miss Bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern for the welfare of his friend.
