What is Miss Gardiner: A Variation on Pride and Prejudice about?

When Elizabeth Bennet was a child, she listened to her uncle’s story about investing monies into trade ventures. With determination, she handed over her coin purse to Edward Gardiner and made her first investment. Just before Christmas while she was a teenager, Elizabeth’s purse disappears. That same afternoon, when Mrs. Bennet and her sisters return with cloth for new gowns, new bonnets, and new shoes, Elizabeth learns that her mother spent her savings, but Mr. Bennet refuses to intervene. He speaks plainly to Elizabeth about her future and in reaction, she asks to visit the Gardiners in London. At the house on Gracechurch Street, the Gardiners agree for Elizabeth to remain with them and she works with her uncle’s account books and the warehouse inventories in addition to sewing and reading. The young woman listens closely to the men calling on Uncle Edward to discuss sales to merchants and the delivery of goods from ships at the docks. A few years later, a mortgage foreclosure is forced upon Fitzwilliam Darcy by Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and he needs to raise funds before Christmas. Darcy approaches Mr. Gardiner, a successful tradesman, to help with the sale of luxury items store
