Netherfield. Caroline did not like the sound of the word. So much to move just to say one word. Charlie always had a love for those dandy farm houses far away from the city life and the posh of London where of course she felt comfortable. He had been planning about it for weeks on end and nothing anyone said stood in his way. Even her father had been convinced that this was the best idea that had ever passed young Mr. Bingly's mind. Caroline knew her father enough to tell that this was his way of encouraging his only son into the family business. Charles was just required to find tenants whoever he liked and where ever he liked. Caroline had to go along with him of course, that was how it had been planned in the first place. At first she had been rejuvenated at the thought of her being away from their tiresome parents, just the two siblings all on their own. It felt like being independent and not to mention the mistress of 'the fine bungalow' as her mother put it. But ever since the tiny bit about it being in the small area of Cant was put in, Caroline, yes Caroline, had her doubts.

"Charlie you do know what you're doing right? I don't want to go live in a pigsty you know…" Caroline half whispered to her brother, making sure her parents were out of ear shot.

"Cary can you please trust me this once. I've been assured by trusted men that the place is not worth leaving or walking away from," Charles replied not in so much of a whisper and then added gleefully, "just imagine a huge building in the middle of lush farms and green fields, Far from the rush and madness of town, the wind pure and clean blowing through our hair and the fresh gushes in our lungs." He inhaled deeply as he said the words and his smile grew larger than the life size it already was. Caroline wrinkled her nose at the thought… Far from town…

"Charlie I don't know, I mean isn't it a bit not proper, for you know, us! I can't be made to live away from town!" She emphasized on the 'away' to make him understand the depth of her predicament, "I'll die!"

"O come now, Cary dear you'll be fine! Please I really want this. You know I do and this might probably be my best chance at proving myself to father!" He looked like he was five years old again, begging her to let him jump into the lake to show off to some pretty girl.

Exasperated and tired of the argument, Caroline smiled slightly at Charlie and turned just in time to see her parents come to sit on the sofas next to them. The conversation was over. She looked at her father and sighed. It was bound to be difficult for him. Parting with one's children for whatever the time period, was hard, even on the patient man he was. His good natured face was wrinkled with worry frowns and he sighed deeply before he looked up to smile at his son. His smile told Caroline a lot about where Charlie got his ridiculously handsome face from. But her mother spoke first.

No matter what the situation, it never escaped Caroline that her mother maintained her grace and composure. Her air would be called by some as haughty but to Caroline her mother had all right to be proud. She was the mistress of Hampshire Hall, one of the most famous properties in England for its lovely orchids and beautiful walks. She looked intently at her mother's slender and pale face as she spoke her words carefully.

"Your father and I think it is prudent that you as our son must be given a chance to explore your chances out there in the World. I would have thought it much agreeable if Arthur would have set you up some work but he is of the view that you must be allowed to stand on your own feet." She nodded as she finished her sentence as if trying to convince herself more than convincing the others.

"It will of course be very inconvenient for us to part from you two but it shall be done for the better of both you chaps," Caroline's father added with a soft chuckle as a tear escaped her mother's eye.

Charlie took his mother's hand and pressed it gently, "We'll be back before you know it, I promise you that." He said quietly but the sincerity of his words must have lifted her spirits and she nodded.

"Alright then it's settled, Netherfield hall shall be lit at last!" Mr. Bingly said happily and clapped his hands in humor. He turned to Charles abruptly and asked, "Charlie you said something about Fitzwilliam going with you too?"

Caroline's ears perked up at this and she instinctively looked at her mother, who looked at her triumphantly and held up her hand to hide the smile that had formed on her lips.

"O yes, Darcy said he needed some time away from Pemberly and its 'haunted grounds' as he puts it." Charlie laughed at this and continued, "He's pretty tired of Lambton too so he says he wants a change of company and far from the maddening crowds is exactly what he needs to clear his head." Charlie smiled, satisfied with himself.

Caroline was all happiness now, she could not wait to go to Netherfield and have Mr. Darcy all to herself. She smiled widely at Charles and her parents , thoroughly pleased by the turn of events. Pemberly dearly needed a mistress and Caroline would be glad to fill that post very soon. It was clear her mum's thoughts were in the same direction and they shared a secret smile before the men decided to drink to the new development.

"Charlie, you don't think its too much to ask if I travel in your carriage. I don't think it wise to draw out a carriage just for one man's travel." Fitzwilliam looked at the piercing sun as he spoke to Charlie. They were standing outside the grand house at Pemberly and the Binglys had come to pay a visit to Georgiana. They would be staying at Netherfield for indefinite time and they thought it better to meet her before the departure. Caroline was outside too and she now stood a little distance away. fanning her face and looking at Mr. Darcy out of the corner of her eye. It was Caroline who replied to the request and she batted her eyes deliberately as she spoke:

"O Mr. Darcy I'm sure Charles would be glad to have you in the same carriage. Travelling with friends brings great joy to him, isn't that so Charlie?" Carloine looked at Charles with what she thought was a flattering smile.

Charles' jaw stiffened for a fraction before he replied, "Yes of course, as Caroline said, I'd love to have you travel with us."

Caroline nearly squealed with joy and grinned goofily at Mr. Darcy who looked postively distressed. Georgiana held her arm tighter around her brother's and smiled at him reassringly. She had to be suppportive of William's going to Netherfield. She wanted nothing more but for him to be far away from the queit and sad house at Pemberly. She dearly wished she could leave too but this would only create further worries for her brother, so she had to be contented with being happy for him.

"When do you think we'll set off? For Netherfield?" William asked nobody in specific but hoped this time Charles would answer and was relieved when he spoke.

"I think we should leave tomorow afternoon for Hampshire Hall. We'll rest there for the night and load our luggage. We'll probably set off for Netherfield early the next morning. It seems like a reasonable plan."

William did agree with Charlie's plan becuase he chose to remain silent. He was worried about Georgiana. Leaving her alone at Pemberly was not his get away idea. But she had persuaded him to go and 'live' a bit and he had given in after some deliberations from Charlie's side of course. Charlie was too pleased to have his favourite friend stay with him at Netherfield. He'd get bored otherwise and he would need Darcy's advice at all times.

Netherfiled it seemed had different prospects for each one of them. They had their own little things to look forward to. Charlie was too excited about being in control of his life and managing his own business. wanted nothing but a change of environment and he looked forward to spending time with Charlie. Caroline felt that it was now her chance to secure her position in life and win 's heart. They were all so sure about what lay ahead, that as each stared at the now setting sun, not one had the faintest idea that destiny had her own games to play.
