1) Mistress of Longbourn: Charlotte Returns:
We have Charlotte’s POV as she walks through Longbourn and contemplates her new station in life. We see her thoughts as they assume possession of Longbourn. Her feelings on birthing the heir to Longbourn and her feelings toward her husband. Mary walks through the Longbourn Estate one last time as she finishes packing the last of their possessions. Mary’s behavior toward Charlotte is considered the barest of civilities. Mary never married and Charlotte contemplates whether she would have married Mr. Collins and perhaps have been a better clergyman’s wife. But then, she brushes those thoughts aside. Charlotte’s next project is to establish a name in the community. They are next to the largest estate in the county, next to Netherfield Park. And make a name she does with her picnic. It will be the talk of the community for some time. Hilarious!!!

2) Life After Darcy: Caroline Bingley:
This story is Caroline coming to grips with the fact that there will be no offer from Mr. Darcy now that he has married that nobody from the country. How humiliating. She’s convinced herself that he will come to regret it shortly and he will regret her. Caroline has been invited to a house party and she intends to hold her head high and completely ignore those that are aware of her lost hopes for Mr. Darcy. She is so oblivious to her surrounds that she nearly misses out on her own future hopes. There is a really cute ending. Considering it is Caroline, I almost missed it myself.

Alternate Paths
3) First Attachments: Young Lizzy Bennet
This was memory flashbacks of a very young Lizzy Bennet and her friend, one of the young boys on the farm near Longbourn. Over the years their budding friendship grew into affection. There was a vast difference in their station and this was hard on the young people. Years later, Elizabeth was visiting Charlotte at Hunsford and refused to believe her friend’s statement that Mr. Darcy had a tender for her. Elizabeth was well aware of Mr. Darcy’s expression, and the way he stared at her. It was to find fault, and was not a tendre. She knew what an expression looked like that held a tendre.

4) To Do Her Duty: Mrs. Bennet
OMG!! Get your tissues, this simply broke my heart. I can’t even mention it without giving it away. No matter how you feel about Mrs. Bennet, this will just break your heart. Oh- my- goodness.

In The Dark
5) To Fool a Fool: Elizabeth Collins née Bennet
Em… how to explain this one. Hehehe… I can’t… It’s too much. For mature audiences. Not graphic, but sexual in nature. Hahaha… I can’t help it.

6) He Had It Coming: Lydia and Wickham
Oh-My-Goodness, I shudder to think about Lydia having been with Wickham nine years. We open the story with such a shocking scene… I still cannot believe she was in such reduced circumstances. It is almost unbelievable. Gone forever is the vivacious uncontrolled girl from her Longbourn days. That girl no longer exists and has long since been forgotten. Somehow, Lydia managed to send a cryptic letter to her sister Elizabeth. After Elizabeth shared it with Jane, they agreed regarding the message between the lines and hurried off to Newcastle to their sister.

As I read this, I had visions of the 1944 movie Arsenic and Old Lace. I couldn’t help it. It just popped into my head. Anyway, the story was rather shocking. I’ve never seen it used before in JAFF. It was pretty cool. The three sisters were amazing, cool, calm, collected and pretty dang smart.

The stories ended at 91% of the book. There were two excerpts: ‘Unwilling’ and ‘The Houseguest’.

Meryton Vignettes Tales of Pride and Prejudice edition by Elizabeth Adams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Wonderful series of short stories about Pride & Prejudice characters. Would enjoy seeing some of them expanded into full sized books.
Wonderful stories. New insights into the characters.
This is a wonderful collection of books. I hope more Audible books are available soon from this author. I really look forward to it.
quick reads for bedtime or a morning cup of tea. But sone are quite off canon. I don’t believe Elizabeth would suggest killing Wickham no matter how desperate to remove Lydia from him.
Short stories -- a moment captured.

What were Charlotte's emotions as she returned to Longbourn as mistress?
Could Elizabeth have had a childhood love?
Did Lydia really have a HEA with Wickham?

There were also brief excerpts from two books I have read before. I would recommend those books if you haven't already read them.

The book seemed a bit pricey for only about 100 pages, but that's my only criticism. Very well done.

Brevity is the soul of wit -- William Shakespeare
Brevity is the soul of lingerie -- Dorothy Parker (doesn't have anything to do with the book, just amused me!)
Lots of interesting shorts here, each focusing on the point of view of a different female character from Pride and Prejudice. All are very well written.

It starts off with "Charlotte Returns," an intriguing character study of Charlotte Collins after 17 years of marriage. She reflects on the course her marriage has taken over the years, the children she's had with Mr. Collins, and the way she has handled her relationship with him. Now that she is the new mistress of Longbourn, she has some guilt over having pursued Mr. Collins as doggedly as she did after Elizabeth refused him, knowing that Mary would have accepted him and the Bennet family would not be displaced now. It is clear that she has done her best to make the transition easier for them than her husband would otherwise have permitted. Despite that, her Meryton neighbors seem to be more judgmental and stand-offish than she expected.

The next, "Life After Darcy," is Caroline Bingley's story. Considering how she made no secret of expecting to marry Mr. Darcy among her social circle, how does she pick up the pieces and move on when he marries someone else instead? We read her private musings about what went wrong, as she wonders why she is still on the shelf even though she's such an attractive, fashionable woman, and she fantasizes about Mr. Darcy coming to his senses and regretting letting her go. She holds her head high, though, and determines she will rise above this. She accepts an invitation to a winter house party and tries not to notice the smirks and disparaging glances from those she has considered friends.

"First Attachments" is particularly interesting. Elizabeth Bennet, currently a guest at Hunsford, is reflecting about Charlotte's assertion that Mr. Darcy is interested in her. She considers her maturing attitude about what true love actually is, and she reminisces about her longstanding relationship with a childhood playmate, Jack Turner. They were best friends growing up. Unfortunately, he was the son of a tenant farmer rather than her social equal.

We move back to Longbourn for "To Do Her Duty" and a story about Mrs. Bennet. Her two eldest daughters and her youngest are now married. But she's about to experience an unexpected surprise that will have long-term effects on the future of the Bennet family.

Many JAFF readers dislike the idea of Elizabeth ever marrying Mr. Collins, but in "To Fool A Fool," that's what has happened. This is a very humorous account of how she handles the distasteful duty of the marriage bed.

"He Had It Coming" is the longest and most serious of the stories. Lydia has been married to Mr. Wickham for 9 years, and she is a battered wife. She finally has the courage and finds the means to reach out to her sisters for help. We can clearly see how she's grown from a silly, spoiled child to a mature adult who is ow wise beyond her years. I really loved the happy ending she's given here.

The short stories end at 92% on my kindle, with the last part of this download being excerpts from Unwilling A Pride and Prejudice Vagary and The Houseguest A Pride and Prejudice Vagary, also by this author.
