Chapter 9

The time before Fitzwilliam left for Cambridge settled into a bit of a routine. Both Darcy siblings worked on their studies; each learned what it meant to be a member of Society and to become a lady or a gentleman. Georgiana is becoming a well-rounded young lady who reads, writes and speaks French along with a fair understanding of German. She displays a talent for design and fashion as well as painting. Her skills on the pianoforte are unmatched by anyone her age and even those older cannot claim as much competence. However she, much like her brother, is shy. Whereas her brother hides it behind his inscrutable mask, Georgiana simply retreats into her various pursuits. Both Darcys enjoy the out of doors so when the weather allows, they are exploring the natural world.

One summer, Geneve is attempting to fly a kite. Geneve has always looked at Fitzwilliam as an older brother, and she spent many hours with the Darcy siblings as the estates are near one another. Today is no exception as she along with some neighborhood girls took to the outdoors to fly their kites. Predictably the strings would become hopelessly tangled. Fitzwilliam agreed to oversee the girls, and he brought with him a complete work of Shakespeare which he is attempting to read. His problem is not comprehension but rather the constant interruptions as one girl then the other pleads for him to remove the numerous knots from the kite string. With a patient smile, he goes to work and frees the lines once and again.

Another time Gregory along with Georgiana and Fitzwilliam, went into Lambton for some supplies and for Gregory to speak with Reverend Volmere. Fitzwilliam and Georgiana walked over to a nearby pond which is a favorite location for children to play. Geneve and some of the other girls are already there, floating little wooden boats which they would then pull back to shore with reeds. Some bullies are throwing dirt clods at the boats causing them to sink when Fitzwilliam walks up.

“What’s going on here?” Fitzwilliam demands.

“None of your business. You best leave unless you wish to get hurt.” One of the boys retorts with a sneer. Fitzwilliam gauges the situation quickly, and he gathers the crying girls around him where he hands each girl some coin to buy their boats.

“As I am the owner of those boats now, I deem it is my business,” Fitzwilliam states with his scowl firmly in place.

The bold boy who first challenged Fitzwilliam swings a fist and connects with Fitzwilliam’s lip. Georgiana, when seeing the blood, runs the short distance back to town to alert their father. But Fitzwilliam rallies and returns a resounding wallop to the troublemaker which knocks him to the ground then he swings his glower on the other boys who flee leaving their leader behind. “Get up,” Fitzwilliam commands him. “You will remove your shoes and stockings, roll up your pants and retrieve every last boat. Do I make myself clear?” The boy nods, does as he is told and every last boat is collected.
