Reading an almost decent P&P fic where Mr. Bennet dies and Lizzy is coerced into marrying Darcy. He agrees not to force her into his bed, so they have not consummated the marriage. Anyway, this line amused me:
And if she was hoping for the event to happen in childbirth, how disappointed she would be to know such possibility did not exist - for one must suffer exposure before contracting the condition.
