This had me scratching my head and thinking I was missing something.
Story line, with continuity-that is seriously missing from this one.

The opening scene makes out like there is some big drama regarding Elizabeth now that her father has passed. She either marries Darcy (her father's recommendation) or...??? Never tells us.
And no way would Jane and Bingley not have offered for her to live with them at Netherfield.
So we never really understand why she chooses Darcy instead of her freedom ... as opposed to what?
Bizarro!
Also bizarro is the traveling, which while spoken of takes 2 days, but then miraculously they are where they are going in half an hour (WHAT??) and that happens every single time.

To make matters worse, Darcy such an anti-hero (but he gets explained later) still while reading it you can't help but go, THIS is what her father wanted for her?

Anyway, there is too much else going on that would make a good drinking game. Every time something is wonky take a shot.
