DARCY AND ELIZABETH - AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE

As Fitzwilliam Darcy walked to the parsonage in Hunsford to visit Miss Elizabeth Bennet, he had every reason to suppose that he would return to Rosings an engaged man. That at least was his plan. The reality was that Elizabeth challenged him for his role in separating her elder sister, Jane and Darcy’s friend, Charles Bingley. Those persons were in love, but Darcy thought otherwise.

Darcy never had a chance to propose and though he suffered Elizabeth’s tirades against his person, she at least spared him the humiliation of being rejected had he proposed.

He returned to Rosings after he left the parsonage and wrote Elizabeth a letter explaining many of the things she had accused him of during their meeting. The next morning he gave her the letter and then returned to town.

To Darcy, all was not lost, but he was not confident that his letter would help his cause. He was in love for the first time and thought that things could not be any worse. Darcy did not know his future but there were struggles in front of him and many obstacles to overcome to even begin to have a chance to win Elizabeth’s heart.

In a setting of gentlemen and their ladies, Darcy and Elizabeth deal with a tragedy and try to better understand each other but other events, both near and far away, conspire to keep them apart and finally there is much danger ahead. How the two deal with these things will ultimately determine if they will ever be more than friends.
