Jann Rowland
- Elizabeth
- Bennet's
- visit
- to
- Netherfield
- Park
- to
- tend
- to
- her
- ailing
- sister
- takes
- a
- surprising
- turn
- when
- she
- meets
- with
- Mr.
- Darcy
- on
- the
- grounds,
- and
- his
- manner
- so
- altered
- as
- to
- shock
- her.
- The
- gentleman
- provokes
- her
- gratitude
- when
- he
- helps
- her
- escape
- all
- Miss
- Bingley's
- contempt,
- conveying
- her
- to
- her
- sister's
- room
- and
- taking
- the
- duty
- of
- informing
- the
- mistress
- of
- her
- presence
- on
- himself.As
- her
- stay
- at
- the
- estate
- lengthens,
- Elizabeth
- comes
- to
- appreciate
- him,
- for
- this
- Mr.
- Darcy
- is
- a
- man
- worth
- knowing,
- his
- opinions
- intelligent,
- his
- manner
- deferential.
- Their
- newfound
- amity
- is
- not
- agreeable
- to
- all
- those
- present,
- however,
- for
- Miss
- Bingley
- has
- long
- schemed
- to
- draw
- a
- proposal
- from
- the
- unwilling
- Mr.
- Darcy
- and
- will
- not
- surrender
- her
- prize
- without
- a
- struggle.Before
- Elizabeth
- and
- Jane
- depart
- from
- the
- estate,
- Elizabeth
- has
- proof
- of
- the
- gentleman's
- interest
- in
- his
- own
- words,
- and
- she
- cannot
- help
- but
- wonder
- how
- the
- future
- will
- unfold
- with
- this
- man
- who
- appears
- so
- determined
- to
- have
- her
- good
- opinion.
- The
- arrival
- of
- a
- fool
- and
- a
- libertine
- in
- turn
- throws
- obstacles
- in
- the
- lovers'
- path,
- but
- the
- course
- of
- true
- love,
- though
- it
- may
- not
- always
- be
- smooth,
- cannot
- be
- prevented
- forever.
- Those
- four
- days
- at
- Netherfield
- Park
- have
- changed
- Elizabeth's
- perspective,
- which
- will
- change
- her future.
