Captivated by Youth and Beauty: Mr. Bennet's story

Mr. Bennet, the very man we are introduced to in Pride and Prejudice, the father of five daughters and husband of a wife with sensitive nerves, was known to spend most of his time in his library as his only refuge from the silliness of the females that overran his home. Now, in his declining years, he says to his favorite daughter:

"Lizzy, I am sure you have heard it said about my reaction to your mother that I was captivated by youth and beauty, as if I were the first man to have his head turned by a pretty face. I freely admit your mother had no rival till she gave birth to her daughters, but all that aside, let me assure you there was much more to our story than the charm of youth and beauty. So, prepare yourself, for you will be the first to hear the full accounting of how the Francis Bennet family came into being."

Sit back and prepare yourself to be captivated by this beautiful love story which eventually makes possible that of his daughter and the famous Mr. Darcy.
