Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth are the main characters of the book Tolerable: Sensual Pride and Prejudice Variation by Darcy Fitzwilliam. They initially meet at a ball where a bored Mr. Darcy is accompanying his friend Bingley, who is interested in Elizabeth's sister. Miss Elizabeth overhears Mr. Darcy expressing how uninterested he is in the ladies of that town, who to him appear to be old-fashioned. She takes revenge by openly gossiping about him. He, in turn, decides to rectify his mistake. Since his friend had to keep on seeing Elizabeth's sister, they develop a friendship that no one knew where it would lead.

The author has shown that a book can be interesting even with polite language. I commend that. I equally like the way different individuals...
