Following the Hunsford parsonage encounter, Darcy spirals through humiliation and self-reproach while his valet Dawson offers coldly practical, even theatrical, remedies. As chapters unfold from ink-stained destiny to escalating confrontations across estates and London, misunderstandings harden into schemes, letters, and public reckonings, with love tested by status, manners, and family disgrace.","The Warden of my Prison  \nA Regency Romantic Comedy of Pride and Prejudice  \nBy Lefki Karantoni  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n© 2026 LEFKI KARANTONI  \nThe moral right of the author has been asserted.  \nAll rights reserved.

Instead, he was engaged in the agonising discovery that a gentleman’s pride, when forcefully hurled against a brick wall by a lady’s brutal rejection, did not shatter cleanly and efficiently. Instead, it exploded outwards into fragments—a thousand humiliating, undignified shards he would be picking out of both his pride and heart for many a sleepless year to come.  \nHe was pacing the length of his guest chambers at Rosings Park immediately following his disastrous proposal at the Hunsford parsonage. He moved with the restless energy of a caged tiger who had just been informed that he was not the king of the beasts as he had always supposed, but a grave disappointment to the entire animal kingdom.

He had laid his hand, his heart, the splendour of Pemberley, and the undeniable sacrifice of his own consequence squarely at her delightful feet.  \nAnd she had effectively told him she would rather marry a mildewed bath sponge.  \n“The last man in the world,” Darcy muttered aloud, executing a sharp turn near the fireplace that nearly knocked over a hideous porcelain shepherdess.“The last man. In the world. She used the word ruined. She accused me of ruining her sister ’s happiness and behaving in an ungentlemanly manner. Ungentlemanly! Me!”  \n“Will that be all, sir?”  \nThe imperturbable enquiry came from Dawson, Darcy’s valet. Dawson was a man of seemingly inexhaustible patience with a passion for order, who could be relied upon to produce correct opera attire even if  \nshipwrecked on a desert island. He currently stood by the wardrobe holding a pristine evening cravat at the rea","cbCaiqsFdVcUVifA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqsFdVcUVifA","pdf",2941080,7,206,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Chapter One: The Ink Blot of Destiny\n## Chapter Two: A Study in Ink and Agony\n## Chapter Three: The Chamber of Horrors\n## Chapter Four: The Pragmatism of Hunsford\n## Chapter Five: The Arrival of the Viscount\n## Chapter Six: The Cavalry Descends\n## Chapter Seven: The Council of War\n## Chapter Eight: The Truth in the Grove\n## Chapter Nine: The Parsonage Offensive\n## Chapter Ten: Epistles and Epiphanies\n## Chapter Eleven: The Beast of Hunsford and Other Triumphs\n## Chapter Twelve: The Easter Sunday Skirmish\n## Chapter Thirteen: The Flight of the Bumblebee\n## Chapter Fourteen: The London Revisions\n## Chapter Fifteen: The Gospel of Mares and Geldings\n## Chapter Sixteen: A Broken Viscount\n## Chapter Seventeen: The Muting of the Viscount\n## Chapter Eighteen: The Absolution at Astley’s\n## Chapter Nineteen: The Dragon of Grosvenor Square\n## Chapter Twenty: The Lanterns of Vauxhall\n## Chapter Twenty-One: The Heiress and the Dress\n## Chapter Twenty-Two: Netherfield is Let at Last\n## Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gouty Cherub and the Dappled Grey\n## Epilogue","[{\"question\":\"What happens to Mr. Darcy after his proposal is rejected?\",\"answer\":\"Darcy is engulfed by agony and humiliation, realizing his pride has not shattered neatly but exploded into many painful fragments.
