Rain, Mud, and Happily Ever After Fitzwilliam Darcy meant to restore peace to his mind and protect his heart. He intended to escape from Hertfordshire to the safety of London, but when the very person from whom he is running falls into his arms and requires his help, he will be forced to admit that there is only one place where he will find peace and his heart will be safe. Elizabeth Bennet meant to take a walk to avoid a proposal from a man she cannot tolerate -- the odious Mr. Collins.
