Eavesdroppers Never Hear: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Pride and Prejudice Variations)

They say eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves, which is mostly true. Sometimes, though, hearing something bad can at least be something useful.

Elizabeth Bennet overhears one of the nastier comments made by the Netherfield ‘ladies’ while Jane was ill at Netherfield and cannot quite keep it to herself. She talks it over with Jane, and they take direct action rather than sitting around demurely waiting for something to happen. Their actions change the whole course of their interactions with the Netherfield party.

Who wins? Who loses? How will it all work out? Let’s find out.

This is a low-angst, happy romance story.
