It was at that moment that the newly minted Mr and Mrs Darcy walked into the room laughing and looking incredibly happy. Lady Catherine had not yet switched away from studying the colours of Mr and Mrs Bennet so when she looked at Darcy and Elizabeth she saw that his white had joined totally with her blue light, the blue was tinged with the red. Lady Catherine could see that they were true soul-mates that had joined and blushed that Elizabeth was an expectant mother so quickly.

"Darcy! Where have you been?" Lady Catherine asked brusquely. She was not about to allow her nephew to have a smooth ride.

Blushing to the roots of their hair, they both attempted to demure saying that they had been detained in another part of the house. Nobody was fooled but all were wise enough to know not to push the issue any further.

"Yes, well! I came here to dispute your marriage! You were intended for my daughter Anne, and I had been informed that your 'bride' was half-blood, how could you throw Anne over for a half-blood trollop?" Lady Catherine continued.

It was strange as we performed the obligatory curtsy and bow a light seemed to glow around each of us until the lights around us had merged into one. The same thing happened to my sister and her husband that night."

"Elizabeth's friend approached us later on in the evening and requested that we meet her and her mother at Lucas Lodge the next day, yesterday, for an explanation of what had happened as neither of us knew about what had happened," Darcy said.

"That's the powers that be telling us that two souls have found their perfect match" Answered Lady Catherine, "a match that if embraced none can break. Nephew I need to ask, what colour was your wife's light at Lucas Lodge?"

"Blue Madam" Darcy replied, not realising why his Aunt had asked the question. Lady Catherine shot Darcy a dark look, she was very unimpressed with his behaviour.
