  Likewise, Mr. Bingley vows to pursue Jane, hoping to reclaim her affection. Jane’s new suitor has other ideas about her future felicity, and his identical twin brother has more than a passing interest in Elizabeth’s love life as well. 
  All is fair in the game of love, even if fate leaves one or more of the gentlemen in question behind. Elizabeth encourages her sister to follow her heart, but will she heed her own advice?
