    Summary

    Following the Netherfield Ball, Mr Collins happily gossips in a letter to Lady Catherine that her that her nephew may be on the verge of matrimony… to Miss Bingley. He overheard his cousins talking of the lady’s attentions and quite misconstrued everything. Lady Catherine, as incensed as she could ever be, goes to confront her nephew in London… and arrives in the middle of the ‘Why You Should Not Marry Jane Bennet’ intervention.

    Yelling ensues. And maybe more than one instance of self-reflection.

    OR

    In which Mr Collins has the sacred duty of sharing gossip he wasn’t supposed to know; Lady Catherine is of infinite use, which ought to make her happy, for she loves to be of use; Miss Bingley learns what all her attempts to secure Mr Darcy’s affections have amounted to; and Mr Darcy himself is full of pride and confronted with his hypocrisy.

    Summary

    Throughout winter, after Caroline and Louisa closed Netherfield and returned to town, they amused themselves by recounting their experiences with Meryton’s country bumpkins and ridiculing the most prominent local family, the Bennets. They never imagined that their malicious words would spread slowly and insidiously like a poison and stop them from ever ascending to the highest society, as they so desired.

    - - -
    Note: The title Serpent’s Poison was inspired by the biblical imagery of a venomous tongue, a potent weapon of malice and deceit.

    Serpent's poison, unseen, subtle, and insidious, serves as a fitting metaphor of the veiled and indirect style of communication prevalent during the Regency era.

    Summary

    One warm, rainy day in the library at Pemberley, Caroline overhears something wildly unsuitable for an unmarried woman’s ears. Though she knows it’s wrong, instead of walking away, she walks closer…

    (It's pretty easy to hate Caroline Bingley, even when it's clear she doesn't stand a chance against our dear Lizzie. I've often wondered if Caroline is naive or dumb, and also wondered what fate might await her if she were to get a little more knowledge at the right time in life. Here's my attempt to play with that idea.)

    Summary

    When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. Bingley was the sort of open, easy young man whom people would not scruple to share their opinions with, and the solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet of age two years and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody.

    Summary

    Idle Gossip, Darcy knew better than to listen to it, but this county was a small pond, and if Bingley wanted to make his start here, he would be a big fish. For his friends sake he needed to find him suitable friends, who could advise him, when he was all the way at Pemberley. What's the harm?
