There were just ten minutes now until the start of play. Mary and Lizzy were talking intensely about how the game might proceed. Kitty became bored and wandered over to the adjoining field. She opened the gate and went to get a closer look at the sheep.

Both teams were now prepared. The team from Kent were grizzled old timers who had been playing cricket over many seasons. Darcy’s team on the other hand, consisted of Darcy himself, his brother in law Charles Bingley, Mr Collins, his friend William Hammond and his brother Jonny and his father in law Mr Bennet, all of whom had played very little cricket, if any, since leaving school. The remaining five players were loaned to them by Kent, and it was likely that they would not be their best players. Therefore, it was likely to be a difficult match for Darcy’s team. However, to their credit, that was of lesser importance. What mattered was the celebration of Darcy and Lizzy’s anniversary, and also, money raised for Darcy’s good cause.

They intended to enjoy the match. If they played well and ran Kent close, then so much the better.
