Elizabeth watched Mr. Darcy’s retreating figure as the morning fog swallowed him up. Coward! She enjoyed Miss Bingley’s presence just as much as she hated Brussels sprouts and he knew it. Did she not see the corner of his mouth curve upward as he left? The cad!

“So, it is just you and I. What were you doing walking alone with Mr. Darcy?” Miss Bingley raised herself to her full height, her neck straining with the effort.

Elizabeth was used to people towering over her. She had not been blessed with height.

Not intimidated, she replied, “I was walking alone when he joined me. I believe his sole purpose was to ensure I not offend society’s restrictions and thus prove a bad influence on his sister. I am sure you saw his valet with us, ensuring no compromise of propriety.”

Miss Bingley took a step forward. “You are no match for Mr. Darcy. I advise you to keep your distance.”

Elizabeth stood her ground. She would allow nobody to bully her— even Mr. Bingley’s pernicious sister.

“I have no interest in ensnaring a husband like Mr. Darcy. As far as I am concerned, you may have him— that is, if he will have you.” She turned on her heel and returned to the house to check on Jane’s condition.
