Would the same matches be made if Edmund was alive?
I think Daphne and Simon was still very much possible, because Lady Danbury would still be a close acquaintance.
Anthony might have been arranged way before the Daphne was out in society & timeline for Kate’s travel to England might not have overlapped.
Colin & Pen..may still be matched because theirs is organic. I think Edmund and Pen would have gotten along very well, an he would have been a father figure already.
I don’t know how Benedict’s arc would have shaped, and if he would still have noticed Sophie.
Thoughts?
(May be this had been already discussed, in that case, oh well) 😬
