It was in the month of April,a rather forlorn spring for Lizzie when her family received a letter revealing the attendance of the Wickhams at Longbourne for a day ,before returning to their regiment in New Castle. Mrs. Bennet was delighted at the thought of meeting her youngest daughter having forgotten all the pain that troubled her nerves not long ago, when she was let known of the fact that her youngest daughter had eloped. The joy of her youngest being married only at 15,quickly replaced the sorrow in her mind , and so she eagerly anticipated along with the not so eager Bennet sisters for their arrival the next morning ! The sound of the whip and the wheels over the rumble was followed by the Bennet family at the door where the new couple descended from their carriage,Lydia with a pride in her air which soon expressed as excitement on seeing her dear Mama and the envy of her other sisters. Wickham,a gentleman in the eyes of many( but not in Lizzie's) had greeted the family with utmost civility which made Elizabeth ponder as to her own judgement of his nature ,which she now realized was purely based on his pleasant words and not the true nature of his heart. She,who was almost always never wrong about people had made a grave mistake! Her thoughts were soon interrupted by her mother calling out to the maid to lay the breakfast at the table!

The family had a hearty breakfast with Lydia's loud chattering of the greatness of her husband and of his handsome face,which was greatly heard and acknowledged by Mrs. Bennet alone. Elizabeth however, excused herself from the table on knowing from Lydia,that Mr. DARCY was present at their small wedding!

She had to think over as to his presence at their wedding and the reason behind it as she strolled in the garden behind her house!She was curious and it had to be satisfied with the truth which had been sworn to be a secret. She decided to write to the one person who could clarify her doubts and while contemplating, returned to her abode. So lost was she in her thoughts,that she did not return a kind greeting of Mr. Wickham and she simply dashed up through the stairs,leaving her brother in law perplexed.

She pulled out her writing desk and without wasting a minute began penning her thoughts as follows:

Mr. Darcy,

Sir, please do not be surprised on receiving this letter but a news of a shocking nature reached me that you were present at the wedding of my poor sister! I learned it had to be kept a secret but on knowing it ,I just cannot let it go without my understanding the entire truth.I believe Wickham never intended to marry my sister and nothing but a large fortune would only tempt him in doing so!I now begin to understand that it must be your generous nature and your willing to clear his debts that resulted in saving the reputation of both my sister and my family.I'm quite certain Sir that this is the whole truth (knowing that you are a generous man) but I would definitely liked to be confirmed on my thoughts by you.I would also request that you tell me the sum of money which had to be laid for all the transactions! We are greatly indebted to you Sir and I am so ashamed that I ever thought of you as someone who was proud and disagreeable.I deeply regret the harsh words I spoke at our meeting in Hunsford which I believe must have caused you much pain.I do not deserve your forgiveness Sir,but I humbly apologize again for my ignorance and hope that some day you and I can be acquainted a second time as friends.

Thanking you on behalf of my entire family,

Elizabeth Bennet!

As soon as she finished writing the letter,she could no longer wait and immediately rushed out to post the letter to the one man that was increasingly occupying her thoughts!
