He Taught Me To Hope Darcy and the Young Knight's Quest
Author: P O Dixon

What if Elizabeth is promised to another when she meets Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the one man who captures her heart and imagination like no other? As dire as their chance for "happily ever after" seems, there is a measure of hope by way of a strong and enduring bond between them ... — Chapter 4 Excerpt (c) Reprinted by permission. All rights reserv... more »ed

His mind raced with intriguing thoughts of her. She is extraordinary! As pleased as he was to have escaped the introductions to the Meryton determined-to-find-a-husband welcoming committee, he wanted to curse himself for missing his chance to meet the enchanting beauty who had captured his fancy and who, for some strange reason unbeknownst to him, was amongst that first group who had approached Bingley.

An hour or so later, as Darcy continued to observe the swarm of young ladies surrounding his young friend Bingley, he could only do so with disgust. He was not surprised to see his friend had singled out the lovely young woman with the angelic countenance. It was just as he would have expected of his friend. Darcy thought he had better caution Bingley against spending too much time and attentions in that quarter, lest someone get the wrong idea.

Soon enough, he began scanning the room once again for his own angel. He spotted her on the dance floor. She possessed a measure of grace and poise which set her apart from all of the other young ladies in the room. Darcy wondered at her even being there. Clearly, she is not of Meryton. He surmised she must be from one of the prominent families of Hertfordshire. Her manner of walk, her style of dress, and a certain air of accomplishment demanded it. He decided to move closer to her to command a better view.

Elizabeth would have had to be blind not to discern she was the object of his admiration. Whenever she occasioned to look in his direction, she found he always looked back at her. He did not attempt to hide it. The sensations she experienced in being an object of his esteem where pleasantly titillating. Never before had she felt such dizzying emotions under a man's gaze. Yet, the more he stared, the more Elizabeth's courage rose.

She had suffered some disappointment in not having been properly introduced to him earlier in the evening. She saw that as no reason not to endeavour to know him better. Freed from the strictures of maidenly airs, she determined to put herself directly in his path. If he is bold enough to break with decorum and engage me in conversation, I certainly shall not stand on ceremony.

Elizabeth approached the refreshment table and stood in the spot right beside him. He had just requested a beverage when he breathed in a hint of the sweetest fragrance of lavender and chamomile. He turned in her direction and was momentarily stunned to find himself face to face with his mind's embodiment of perfection.

"I beg your pardon, my lady." He bestowed a dazzling smile. "Please, accept mine, if you will." He handed her the beverage that had just been given to him by the server. He allowed his fingers to caress hers during what became a teasingly intimate exchange. A thousand words were unspoken between them as they held fast in each other's gaze. Passion fuelled every fibre of her being. He felt the swell of desire. The balmy resonance of his voice was matched by the enchanting allure of her eyes. Elizabeth's daring fled in the face of such overwhelming magnetism. She demurred. She managed a smile which confirmed his every thought that she was the most amazing creature he had ever beheld. She curtsied and then slowly walked away whilst taking a deep breath to reclaim her composure.

... The legend of King Arthur meets the timelessness of Miss Jane Austen's endearing works in this delightfully entertaining Pride and Prejudice adaptation that takes you back to a magical time of enchantment and romance and lets you fall in love with Darcy and Elizabeth once again.
