A sequel to "Pride and Prejudice". Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth's eldest daughter, Isabella Jane Darcy, turns eighteen and enters the London social season.
Isabella inherited her father's calmness and mother's intelligence, and was the most decent eldest daughter of Pemberley Manor. She smiles well and behaves impeccably in front of others, but she hides a hand-drawn botanical illustration in a corner where no one sees her - that's the only place where she doesn't have to "play" the eldest daughter.
Theodore, the only son of the Earl of Clermont, was also present during the social season. There was no greenhouse in his London mansion, only a pot of evening primrose planted on the windowsill. He made no secret of his disgust at the hypocritical social life of the aristocratic circle, but his love for botany was so serious that it was almost pious. At the first dance, the two looked at each other across the crowd. He took a half-step towards her, but was called away by his mother. When we met for the second time, he squatted down in the garden, pushed aside the leaves of a bunch of veins, and said, "You mentioned legumes, I remember." From that moment on, the two "irregular" souls recognized each other...
Intention: Even if we can't stay together, love will remain in our memory.
