Excerpt
“Mr Niven Darcy Lancashire—Miss Jane Elizabeth Austen,” her father made the honour even if it was not his office.
The two youngsters became acquainted in a rather cold atmosphere emanating from both of them. The old gentlemen regarded their meeting with a little naughty smile, they tried to hide.
Mr Addington invited them to sit on the massive leather armchairs that completed so well the décor but Nevin looked for a chair because of his leg; it was a rather peculiar moment—he, very stiff on a high chair, and the rest sunk in the comfortable armchairs, it looks like Nevin was at an exam, all of them being the enquirers.
Eliza saved the moment when she stood up, the book still in her hands and sat on a chair near Nevin while she gave him the book. It was a graceful and straightforward gesture and he had to admit that, despite not being very beautiful, she had a certain elegance of posture and…spirit.
“It is the first edition of Pride and Prejudice, from 1813,” Eliza said, still not knowing exactly what they expected from her. She was looking at the book’s first page, opened in Nevin’s hand, but she was not reading. She knew everything about that first edition, so she continued, “It was written when Jane was not yet twenty-one. After an early rejection by the publisher Cadell, who had not even read it, her novel was finally bought by Egerton in 1812 for £110. It was published in late January 1813 in a small edition of approximately 1500 copies and sold for 18 shillings.”
Looking more at the old gentlemen than at Nevin she still waited for indications yet her father and Mr Addington just smile approvingly, they considered her to be on the good track.
Nevin was silent, browsing the book in a rather violent manner sufficient to worry Mr Addington that his precious treasure was not in good hands.
“Careful, Mr Lancashire,” he said, “you have in your hands that first edition, Eliza told us about!”
Without a word Nevin place the book on a table near him, but his expression did not change. He did not consider the book a treasure which should have been taken care of in any manner. His disdain for the novel was so evident that Eliza took his eyes from him, uncomfortable with his attitude.
Her father and Mr Addington were suddenly caught in a particular discussion, leaving them to initiate their conversation, but it was so difficult to begin as neither of them knew how their collaboration would function.
“Well, Mr Lancashire, how will we go further?” Eliza broke the silence.
“I read last night Pride and Prejudice. Not that edition,” he said, pointing out to the book still on the table between them, “but one that I found in my mother’s library.”
“It was the first time you read the novel?” Eliza asked, very politely.
“Yes, it is the first time!” While the expression on his face clearly said—“Do not imagine that I would have ever read the book without this assignment?”
His condescendence made her kind attitude disappear. A change he instantly perceived making him want to be forgiven by this strange girl who was unable to hide.
“Well, Miss Elizabeth…” His accompanied his words by a smile.
“Well, Mr Darcy…” Eliza said and abruptly stopped, the name flew out of her mouth in spite of her wish.
They looked at each other finally understanding the real motive they were together in that endeavour; the two gentlemen still talked, but behind their apparent innocence was the little trick they played on Eliza—Elizabeth and Nevin—Darcy.
Eliza felt the urge to admonish her father in a way never dared before. She was undoubtedly hurt but most of all she despised the situation he forced her in; working with this Darcy became so difficult now that she knew that neither her talent nor knowledge were essential but mare the fact that her name was Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Darcy, what a better couple to write about Pride and Prejudice. She was also ashamed because her father could play such a trick on them, on him; he may be arrogant and so snobbish when it came to his studies and education, but he was a young gentleman who fought for their country and was severely wounded.
