I agree with every word of this BUT you left out the cringiest coincidence in P&P… that Mrs Gardiner just HAPPENED to have grown up just around the corner from Mr Darcy.
No way is this likely. I mean, we’re not talking some metropolis here, lol. Have cudgelled my brain to think of another way she could have allowed Lizzy to see Pemberley as well as Darcy again… and couldn’t think of anything. I guess Austen couldn’t, either!!! XXAlice

Oh! That is a good one too. And the trip gets cut short last minute and takes them to Pemberley. Good point.

And Wickham just HAPPENS to join the militia stationed in Meryton!

Yes, because he seems to have selected that at random. That him and Mr. Darcy overlap in a short stay is another one!

Love this post! There are a lot of coincidences! I never knew that about Jane and Bingley not having quoted dialogue! You learn something new every day!lol

I almost couldn’t believe it when I first learned that fact, but it’s perfectly true! No wonder Jane & Bingley are hard to write as a married couple, we have no “previews” so to speak.
