Requirements: ePUB Reader | 402 KB
Overview: In The Lady of the Mount, Darcy first meets Elizabeth the day that he and Bingley first go to Netherfield Park to examine it as a possible estate for Bingley to lease or buy. Darcy and Elizabeth have an unusual encounter on top of Oakham Mount, and Darcy is intrigued. Finally, Bingley moves into Netherfield, Darcy visits, and Darcy meets Elizabeth again on Oakham Mount during an early morning ride. Later in the day, while chaperoning Jane and Bingley, their attraction to one another becomes even stronger and leads to a result unexpected by either of them. On a subsequent trip to London, their relationship is tested when they encounter Wickham, who, with the help of Mrs. Younge, has once again convinced Georgiana of his regard for her. The fate of Wickham is far different in this book than in most books of this genre, as are the actions of Lady Catherine.
Patience Rewarded assumes the relationship of Darcy and Elizabeth begins as in Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but that he must leave Hertfordshire well before the Netherfield Ball to deal with a fire at Pemberley. He does not see Elizabeth again until nine months later, when she visits Pemberley with her Uncle and Aunt Gardiner. He realizes his feelings for her, which developed while he was in Hertfordshire, have not disappeared and eventually tells her she is the only woman he has ever met whom he would like to marry. She refuses to believe a marriage between them could be felicitous, and he shows great patience and persistence as tries to convince her of their suitability for each other in the ensuing months. One of the things he does is to convince Bingley to return to Netherfield Park before his lease expires, which, of course, pleases Elizabeth, but Bingley is not as well received by Jane as he had hoped. Their relationship and Col. Fitzwilliam’s interest in Jane are one of the stories explored in the book.
