Description
Mr Darcy is bored with his life as a single man. Or rather, he is bored of people telling him he should be married. In particular he is bored of balls and assemblies and stout mothers introducing their marriageable daughters.
When he was younger, he enjoyed himself at Pemberley without thought of responsibility. He loved to read tales of Robin Hood and Dick Turpin, romantic heroes from the good old days of good old England. And so, when he remembers an old story his father told him, of a highwayman who used to ride out from Pemberley, he is intrigued.
In the library, he finds, hidden behind the walls a priest hole, together with a secret tunnel which leads all the way beyond the Pemberley walls. He explores the tunnel which leads him to a new life, robbing from the rich to give to the poor.
When he meets Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly, she is convinced she has met him before. He recognises her as one of the family he held up on the London Road a few weeks before.
Misunderstandings arise as the first shoots of love develop between them. But will Lizzy discover his secret? And will Darcy continue his career as a Gentleman of the Road?
This is a funny and affectionate variation on Jane Austen's beloved novel, influenced by the 'pulp fiction' and chapbooks of Jane Austen's time.
