Forced to reexamine her ambition for a marriage based on love after being dragged by her mother to a meeting with two impoverished gentlewomen, Mrs. Bates and Miss Bates(from Jane Austen’s EMMA), Elizabeth Bennet is sent to Hunsford with orders to become a flirt and return married or not at all. Unfortunately her mother’s letters to Mr. Collins are misunderstood and the local gentry assume that she is ‘in a certain condition’.
