Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. ~ William Cowper
What if … the Bennets had a young son who went out to play and never returned? What if … their daughters knew nothing about their missing brother? What if … that brother returned to Longbourn as an adult?
“A Question of Entail” concerns that situation. Additionally, the entail on the Bennet estate stipulates that the heir presumptive must have children in order to inherit – and William and Charlotte Collins are childless. Longbourn must be inherited by the second son of one of the Bennet daughters, which would be young Alexander Darcy. But, now, here is the long-lost brother returned from the dead.
But is the man really Laurence Alexander Bennet? Was he really kidnapped by Mr. Collins’ father? Where has he been all this time? Why has he appeared now?
Legal issues surrounding the entail are obvious but the story kept me interested throughout. The ending mystery seemed a stretch but I still liked it.
This is an unpublished story, available at FanFiction.net.
