AN: Chapter 1 + 2 are published shortly after another. Please read chapter 1 for the story's sake, unless you are a true rebel.

Chapter 1 got over 100 views already, in 20+ countries, which is crazy and absolutely amazing to me. Wow! It is so cool to reach (in my eyes) such a big audience, in so many different countries. That really motivates me. :)

I decided to write another chapter while I was at it. It isn't as long as the previous one, but as you may recognise a trivial one for the story. Have fun reading, and don't forget to leave a review. Thank you!

Chapter 2

Realising she had been silent for a while after Mr. Darcy's kind invitation, she smiled and accepted gracefully. Usually she would try with all her might to escape an evening with Mr. Darcy, but this time she was overcome with curiosity. Would a relative of Mr. Darcy and most of all Lady de Bourgh be as amusing as Darcy claimed him to be?

Being pleased with her acceptance Mr. Darcy smiled and nodded. "Very good. I am looking forward to this evening. For your convenience I will visit Mrs. Collins to arrange the rest, so you are able to resume your reading."

"How kind of you, sir. Though I am afraid I have already been away for too long. If you do not mind I would like to walk along with you." She got up and straitened her skirt, which was utterly wrinkled by sitting on a tree all morning. Realising it was a lost case, she gave up.

"Certainly, madam. My pleasure." Arms linked, they strolled back to the house. They were silent. Elizabeth began to feel uncomfortable.

As if he read her mind, Darcy began speaking again: "I heard your sister, Miss Jane Bennet is in London?"

"Yes, that is correct. She is visiting my dear Aunt and Uncle Gardiner. They are parents to the loveliest children I know. I wish I could see them." She saw Darcy looking at her with a sense of curiosity and amazement. "Oh, pardon me. I enjoy my stay here as well. It is just that I miss them." She looked away, for she was embarrassed that she let herself slip. Darcy probably was shocked that she offended the hospitality of his aunt so shamelessly.

"You do not have to apologize. I miss my beloved sister as well. There are not many times that I am in her company, much to my despair. We both have a busy life, I presume. One cannot do everything at a time. Sometimes one has to sacrifice in order to do what is needed." He smiled at her. Who was this gentleman? The Mr. Darcy she knew seemed to have stayed in Netherfield. This man was a entirely different person. Elizabeth was perplexed.

"What you say is unmistakably true, Mr. Darcy. Your sister seems like a lovely young woman. I am sure she misses you as well."

"She is, and thank you. Georgiana is very eager to get to know you, Miss Elizabeth. Bingley has told her enough stories to make her curious."

"Now I am afraid. What kind of stories did they tell. Pray tell." Mr. Darcy grinned.

"Nothing to be frightened about. Each of them were charming, I assure you. I wouldn't let anyone speak badly about you." Didn't Darcy find her barely tolerable?

"I am glad to hear that. How is Mr. Bingly? I haven't seen him for a while." Elisabeth hoped to get more information for her sister about the strange behaviour of Bingley.

"The good man is in good health. I believe he is visiting his sister in London."

"What a coincidence. Do you think my sister and Mr. Bingley already have come across each other?" She tried to make eye contact with Mr. Darcy, but failed the attempt. His mind seemed temporarily preoccupied.

"Not that I know of. They both must be very busy." Strange. Maybe she should write Jane a letter. "And Bingley isn't in town for long. Well, I am afraid our paths diverge. Have a good day." He bowed swiftly and even before Elisabeth could finish her curtsey he already was heading towards his Aunt's residence. Elisabeth sighed. She had not undertaken much activity, however her mind was reeling.

When she had sneakily avoided Mr. Collins, and chose her seat in front of Charlotte's desk, she began to write. She was so invested in her letter to her sister, she did not even noticed Charlotte coming in.

AN: I had some trouble with Aunt or aunt. I didn't know if I should spell it with a capital, and I couldn't remember from the books. I took some liberty and wrote 'Aunt', because in my opinion it is prettier and the Gardiners are well respected characters. Also, Mr. Darcy or Mr Darcy? In Dutch it is 'Mr.', and a few websites said this is correct. I have my doubts. This may be a bit unrelevant, but I am genuinely curious. ;)
