Pride and Prejudice

The arrival of Mr Bingley causes great excitement within the Bennet family. One of her five daughters, Mrs Bennet feels, is sure to capture the heart of the young aristocrat.

Mr. Bennet's estranged cousin, Mr. Collins, writes to announce his imminent visit to Longbourn, the house he will inherit on Mr. Bennet's death. Mrs. Bennet has high hopes that he will propose to one of her daughters and expects also that Jane will soon be engaged to Mr. Bingley.

Elizabeth receives an astounding piece of news and Jane's sweet nature is put to the test when she hears that Bingley and his sisters have left Netherfield Park.

Rejected by Elizabeth, Darcy returns to Rosings Park and writes to her, revealing the truth about Wickham's character.

Darcy is pleased to introduce Elizabeth to his sister, Georgiana, and to welcome her, and her aunt and uncle, to Pemberley.

There is great excitement in the neighbourhood when Bingley returns to Netherfield, bringing Darcy with him.
