Later that morning, Mrs. Annesley was shown into Darcy’s study. “Thank you for seeing me, sir.”

“Are you well, Mrs. Annesley? You know we consider you to be part of our family. If there is anything you require, you need only ask.”

“That is why I have asked to see you privately, Mr. Darcy. My daughter was married shortly before I became Miss Georgiana’s companion. She is going to give birth to her first child in March and asked if I could come and stay with her and her husband in Bath. Now that you and Mrs. Darcy have your own family and Georgiana is so much better than she was when I met her, I think the time for her needing my services has passed. I thought I would discuss it with you before I spoke to your sister about it.”

“I suppose you are correct when saying Georgiana no longer requires a companion and we would never attempt to prevent you from being with your daughter at such an important time.” Darcy paused, “would you like me to speak to my sister about it?”

“Yes, I would appreciate you telling her first. I will speak to her afterward and would like to stay on until the family returns to London. I will be sorry to miss Georgiana’s debut, but my daughter needs me more.”

“Leave it to me, Mrs. Annesley. I can never thank you enough for everything you have done for my sister and our family.”

“It has been my pleasure, sir, and I will miss you all when I leave your home.”
