Chapter 13

Excepting the marchioness the same people she met at dinner were at breakfast, meaning they were guests in the house: Lady and Lord Deighton and their daughter Eleonore Deighton—Darcy’s close friends—who escaped London to find a perfect place for riding and hunting. Then Major Robert Everleigh, the colonel’s comrade-in-arms who left the army and was in search of a place to buy in the neighbourhood and a wife to marry. The most pleasant surprise was the colonel who got up and met her with much joy.

Jane seemed so happy in that company. Even if not a word was said all the people around the table knew about the happy event the Bingleys were expecting and treated the future mother with the care she adored. In a way Elizabeth envied her, she could be openly pregnant while she had to hide and, worst of all, she had not yet found a solution. With so many people around the chance to speak to Darcy was small and she had to wait for the night to see him.

They passed a pleasant day walking around Pemberley or resting on the vast terraces as they still needed time to recover from the very tiresome travel. Not once during their walks did Darcy approach her for more than a moment; he was obviously angry with her. Sometimes she caught his eyes set on her, but he hastily moved away each time. He did not want to give her any opportunity to come closer or even to have a conversation.
