Chapter 10

Despite herself, Elizabeth started to worry about Darcy's return when he was gone for four days with no word to her. During those four days, with no one else to talk to, Elizabeth got to know Darcy servants and staff. She was pleased to see that they were all hard-working and loyal, even when she tried to get them to share information about their master they remain loyal to him and told her nothing that could compromise his reputation.

Even without this information, Elizabeth liked the staff. They were helpful and kind to her. Elizabeth was even sometimes able to convince Louisa to sit and chat with her while Elizabeth helped her with the sewing.

Elizabeth could see this would be a comfortable living situation for her. As she grew more used to the household her nerves of being in the Darcy lessened. Her feelings toward the man did not change, however. This is not how unexpectedly extended absence.

On the morning of the fifth day of his absence, a letter arrived for Elizabeth. It was from Darcy apologizing for the unexpected delay in his return. Against what he had been hoping for, he would not be able to return to London and requested that she meet him Pemberley at her earliest convenience. He also said that he sent another letter to the steward of the house to prepare for the closing of the house as soon as Elizabeth would give him the word.

Elizabeth felt it was probably for the best for her to remove herself to Pemberley that very day. She finished her lunch and then called for the Stewart to tell him the plan. The house jumped into action with an energy Elizabeth had never seen before.

It was a bit of a disappointment that Elizabeth first time in London she did not get to see the city and Darcy had promised her. Hopefully, one day soon his business take him back to Town and he would allow her to accompany him.

It was a deliverance on Elizabeth’s mind and soul to know that she would be around people she could talk to. Even Darcy would be a welcome diversion at that point.

The servants in the London townhouse were kind to her, but she felt guilty distracting them from their work to entertain her. So, she ended up spending most of her time in the library alone reading. She wondered if this was what it was like to live the life of a well to do lady. Her family had been landed, but not wealthy and with four sisters, she was never lonely. The life she was forced to live since Darcy left was a fearful future for Elizabeth. Enough to make her consider building a better relationship with him just to stave off the chance of being alone.

The trip to Pemberley was a long one. One so long that it almost made Elizabeth reconsider trying to have Darcy take her back. When she finally emerged from the carriage, her back was in such pain that she only wanted to lay in bed with a hot brick.
