Yes, it is a very short excerpt/variation on that insulting proposal of marriage to Elizabeth and the reaction on both parts while Darcy is visiting his aunt in Kent. I read it in about an hour while lingering over my breakfast.We all know of Darcy's long letter in which he defends himself against the charges laid at his door by Elizabeth in that totally unexpected refusal of his proposal. Propriety has already been ignored when she accepts a letter from a man to whom she is not engaged. But then Elizabeth meets Col. Fitzwilliam, and in discussing Georgiana (or is he?) when he uses a suggestion with a double meaning that a letter might serve the purpose of uplifting a certain depressed soul.
Now Elizabeth has something to consider, but if she is to act on it then how does she get a letter into his hands? He is due to leave Rosings. She doesn't find him walking the grove. But then Charlotte announces a dinner party. Read carefully as there are hidden meanings in much of the communication. Yes, we always want more but this was a sweet little sip of possible communication between our favorite two. Enjoy!

Four Days in April A Pride and Prejudice Variation; A Sweet Tea Short Story edition by Maria Grace Romance eBooks Reviews
After Darcy writes his letter, Lizzie decides she must apologize and writes a letter of her own. Two letters, both dangerous if found out by others.
The two letters, with their direct information gives both characters a small reason for hope. A morning meeting the next day engenders informed, hopeful sentiments and the story ends with a future bidden by hope.
I recommend this book.
When Maria said short, she meant short! Good story of Darcy and Elizabeth at Rosings. Deals with the infamous proposal, Elizabeth's reaction to said proposal, and Darcy's letter. Upon reading his letter, Elizabeth was mortified beyond reason. Recognized her pride influenced her prejudice against Darcy so much so that she missed the man he truly was. Breaking propriety, she responds to his letter with a letter of her own. Not seeing Darcy but Colonel Fitzwilliam, when he asked for advice on how to get Georgiana to feel better about herself, she replies to what she would do. Taking the information he confronts Darcy in the library, strung out and in the worst mood ever. When they both are talking, both are discussing a different lady he thinking it's Elizabeth and the Colonel talking about Georgiana. Communications break down between cousins so why would he expect Elizabeth to recognize his ardent feelings. Poor Darcy. Will he get another chance sooner than meeting at Pemberley? You'll need to buy the book to find out.
This short story was simply a delight and I loved it. I fully intend to look at other work by this author. We are looking at a small window of time…at Rosings, after the disastrous proposal…just those four days.
We are in Darcy’s head as he tries to make sense of what has just happened with Elizabeth. It is hilarious to watch him work through the process of what he said, what she said and then what he should do next. He is completely aghast that she didn’t know…suspect…or realize that he had genuine affection for her. How could she not know? It was so funny to see him examine his past behavior, recount conversations, evaluate his attitudes and demeanor and come to the conclusion that he had in fact acted badly.
Then we are in Elizabeth’s head as she reads and peruses Darcy’s letter. She berates herself for accepting the letter in the first place…her reputation is on the line, after all. She is angry as she reads Darcy’s account of his involvement in separating Bingley from Jane. As she continues to read, she is horrified at Darcy’s account of Wickham’s story/half-truths/lies regarding his relationship with the Darcy family. She is humbled, and doesn’t know herself. What to do…to apologize, to express her distress over losing his friendship? No spoilers…read it…it is quick, and a fun short story of four days at Rosings in April.
This was a free offering from and an honest review.
This book opens right after Elizabeth rejects Darcy's proposal at Rosing from Darcy's PoV. It was interesting to be in Darcy's head the second after his proposal was rejected. I thought the author did Darcy and Elizabeth's voices very well and kept them true to the characters of the original novel. I thought all the characters were true to form and was very glad of that. I hate my JAFF with characters that have nothing in common with the ones I love. I loved the plot of this book and found the idea for this story both unique yet simple. Usually, short stories seem unfinished and leave you wanting more. This story doesn't do that. It doesn't feel too short or too long. The plot isn't too ambitious for a short story and really couldn't be told any other way IMO. The writing was good but not great. This story is the perfect length for a quick read while relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea. If you love JAFF true to the characters, short stories, and great what-ifs then I highly recommend this story.

This was a super short novella. I felt like we were just getting started and then it was over. Had it been expanded into a novel there would have been many twists before resolution but there wasn't time for those. For example, the Colonel is talking about a letter for Georgiana but Darcy misinterprets and assumes he is referencing Elizabeth. And then there is nothing more about Georgiana or the mix up. That conversation is simply the means to get Darcy to expect a response from Lizzy but goes no further.
So the story is just the four days when Darcy attempts his disastrous proposal and those few days after. Obviously the HEA comes much quicker than in P&P.
If you just want a quick taste of Darcy and Lizzy without a big time commitment then this novella is a decent way to do it.
No sex, violence or language issues.
