Mr. Bingley leaves Hertfordshire after his ball, throwing the Bennet family into turmoil and Jane Bennet into despair. Sensing an opportunity, Mr. Collins capitalizes on this event to stoke Mrs. Bennet’s fears in his attempt to force Elizabeth Bennet’s hand and provoke her to accept him, but Elizabeth remains firm in her convictions.
Into this strained situation, gossip reveals that Netherfield Park is to be opened again, but instead of the expected Mr. Bingley, the resident at the estate is soon revealed to be none other than Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth does not appreciate Mr. Darcy, for his slight of her and the stories from Mr. Wickham have left her in a state of festering disapproval and disdain for the gentleman from the north.
The gentleman proposes to her, leading to Elizabeth’s acrimonious refusal, but she soon realizes her opinion of Mr. Darcy is amiss when he explains certain facts of Mr. Wickham’s history and acts to bring Mr. Bingley back to Hertfordshire. Though Elizabeth is uncertain of the wisdom of allowing him any hope, she allows Mr. Darcy to call on her, determined to learn more about the enigmatic gentleman.
Yet Mr. Collins has not abandoned his hope. A man so ineffectual as he is no temptation for Elizabeth, and he just may yet be of some use to her, for there is no comparison between a silly parson and a gentleman such as Mr. Darcy . . .
Trouble between friends erupts when Fitzwilliam Darcy informs his friend, Charles Bingley about his complicity in keeping him away from Miss Jane Bennet the previous winter. Darcy, determined to be honest with his friend, never considered the possibility that Bingley, mild-mannered as he was, would hold a grudge.
Yet after the argument, Bingley orders Darcy from his home, leaving him no other choice than to return to London, disheartened that his business with Miss Elizabeth Bennet remains unfinished. For Darcy had thought her manner toward him was softening, such that he considered it possible to renew his proposal with some possibility of success.
The separation renders Darcy desperate to return to Hertfordshire but having no means to do so, while in Meryton, Miss Elizabeth is equally stunned by Mr. Darcy’s departure and confused he would leave without word. It is only through the welcome meddling of well-meaning relations that Elizabeth and Darcy have a chance to reunite and find their happiness. As for the situation between Darcy and Bingley, that reconciliation may come about by a most unexpected source!
