A coach careens up the drive carrying Lydia, Elizabeth’s disgraced sister, who with her husband, the very dubious Wickham, has been banned from Pemberley. She stumbles out of the carriage, hysterical, shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. With shocking suddenness, Pemberley is plunged into a frightening mystery.

For extra credit, read: Thou Art The Man, The Oblong Box, The Spectacles, and The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether.
