First Idea

Its about two sisters ( Sophia and Eliza Bingley,) in late 17^th Century England. Both are very close and in their 20s. One of the sisters, (Eliza Bingley) is sheltering from the rain after being on a walk, A man of similar age, who is well dressed appears around the corner which frightens her and he apologizes. He then greets Eliza but does not give his name and continues to stare at Eliza and then leaves, leaving Eliza who cannot stop thinking about this man. Around the same time the other sister (Sophia) is visiting the church, she walks outside into the grounds and accidently walks into Mr. . They find themselves drawn to each other. The two sisters are then told by their parents that they have both been arranged to be married but to the other sister’s man. For example, Sophia will marry Mr. And to keep their parents happy they both decide to go through with the marriages. But both sisters still keep in contact with the other man that they love. Mr leaves to Europe (for artwork etc) and says he will return in a few months. While he is away Sophia gets sick with malaria and is bed ridden for weeks and she eventually dies.A few days after Sophia’s death, Eliza is informed that Mr. has died And Eliza and Mr. can be together, but grief hangs in the way, but this unites them.
