Error Correction in Austen's Narrative
It was a fine morning when Elizabeth Bennet set out for her walk, her spirits high and her mind engaged with the lively conversation she had shared the previous evening. As she strolled through the lush grounds of Longbourn, she couldn't help but reflect on the peculiar events of late, which had both confounded and intrigued her. Her thoughts wandered to Mr. Darcy, whose pride and reserve she found both irritating and compelling. The sky above was a clear blue, and the gentle breeze played with her bonnet, whilst she considered the possible outcomes of her recent encounters. Suddenly, she was interrupted by a rustling in the bushes, startling her from her reverie. 'Who could that be?' she wondered, gripping her parasol tightly, her heart pounding with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.
