Lizzy and Mr Darcy
I have always wondered what hapened to Lizzy and Mr Darcy after the end of Pride and Prejudice. Do they live happily ever after and have the children prescribed by their wedding ceremony? Or does Lizzy discover that Mr Darcy is in fact not at all house trained, and brings muddy boots through the house and is far too pompous for his good looks to compensate when he is her main source of company?
I wish there was a sequal.
When I was younger and dreamin gof being a grown up, I always left the dream at that point, too. I'd met my Prince Charming, and fallen in love, and he was tall dark and hansome (SP?). We got married, and the daydream ended. What happened next? What does happen next? is that the end of the fantasy romance? Does everything become horribly familiar and commonplace?
It's something I'm starting to consider. I miss the familiar, commonplace parts of living together. He's in Cambridge for this week, and then I'm back in Gloucester next week, so I actually get a fortnight of lovin. But hte bits i'm enjoying the most are the bits like waking up in the middle of the night, turning over and him just beig there. Talking baout our days over dinner. Watching tv with a cuppa before bed. Holding hands as we wander down the road, rahter than being with mum or all alone. The routine he has upon waking which makes it impossible for him to fake sleep to me, that no-body else knows about. Always knwing where his watch is, especially when he doesn't.
I'm really looking forward to all the big stuff, like buying a house, having a family, laeving work to take care of them, having a garden to be as self-suficient as possible during that time.
I wonder what Lizzy was particulary looking forward to when she was leaving the church in her carriage with her new husband.....
