After the rejected proposal at Hunsford, Darcy and Elizabeth both stay in the area for a couple of weeks and have many tension-filled encounters in which they begin to recognize and discuss the misunderstandings between themand to learn more about the other.  They also make a start on understanding their own feelings (primarily Elizabeth) and the impact of their decisions and actions (primarily Darcy).  Much of their conversation is coded to disguise their meaning from other auditors; it is frequently hidden in discussions of poetry.  Their relationship continues to develop in London and in Hertfordshire.

This work focuses on the impact of sexual desire between Elizabeth and Darcy.  It is shown as both retarding the relationship (when, for example, physical activities replace much-needed conversationso neither knows what the other is thinking) and as the cement that holds them together as they each learn to put the other first, to confide in each other, and to trust.  That bond then gives them strength to separate from their families.  That separation is not handled well (for example, Elizabeth lies to the extremely supportive Mrs. Gardiner, and Mr. Bennet disapproves of Darcy and won't listen to Elizabeth), so we also see Elizabeth actively pushing her family away (sometimes with justification, sometimes not).

I disliked the inclusion of a substantial amount of Austens wording--especially where many events occur more or less as written in the original.  There are only minor typos and occasional awkward sentences.
