In A Rational Approach, Mr Darcy has been a widower for three years when he meets Elizabeth Bennet. From the first day he met her he saw in her something that he admired and he studied her character for much of the time he was there. The one thing he did not know was what she thought of him so he asked her to consider becoming his wife. What was her answer and what would his family think of her if she accepted the proposal. Would she be able to relate to his sister and his three year old daughter? These were things she had to consider and would she find the courage to enter into such a marriage?
