As Christmas approaches in Meryton, Mrs Bennet's personal wish list is looking distinctly unfulfilled. Not only has Lizzy turned down a proposal from Mr Collins, but Jane's budding romance with Bingley appears to have fizzled out as well.  

But a new year brings fresh opportunities: the lovelorn Jane agrees to accompany her aunt and uncle on a trip to London, and Lizzy receives an invite to Kent to visit her old friend Charlotte... along with her new husband, Mr Collins.
