The School: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

The meetings are weekly. The formality is exceptional. Neither of them is fooling anyone. Elizabeth Bennet has spent four months revising everything she thought she knew about Fitzwilliam Darcy. Then the Darcy Charitable Foundation agrees to fund her school, and he is the representative who will conduct the weekly reviews, and she has to sit across a desk from him every Thursday at two o'clock and be professional about it.
The professionalism does not last. It is undermined, incrementally, by twelve girls who have no interest in anyone's dignity, by a funding crisis that forces both of them out of their respective performances, and by the specific quality of watching a man be exactly who he is when he thinks no one important is watching. Elizabeth already knows she was wrong about him. The Thursday meetings are where she finds out who he actually is.
