I don't own pride and prejudice
"Madame you will move out of my way well I talk some sense into my wayward intended," he attempted to get past Elizabeth who firmly stood her ground, anger flashing in her eyes.
"It sounded to me sir that she's refused your proposal and that perchance you should leave this instant. The glare placed firmly on Elizabeth's face could make any man cower but Mr. Collins was just too stupid to realize it.
"Madame you have no business here," his eyes shot firy daggers at her.
"no you are the one with no business here."
Charlotte came out from behind Elizabeth's back and glared up at the man that had been paying court on her. "You are no longer wanted here Collins, I can't even continue looking at you not after I saw you kissing Mary Bennet two days ago out by the pond.
Elizabeth's eyes widened as she heard the words that left her best friends lips. "Sir you will leave this house this moment and don't think I won't be talking to my uncle about this revelation."
The wind seemed to come out of Collin's sails as he quickly left Lucas lodge. As soon as the door was shut behind him Charlotte collapsed against Lizzie and started to sob. Elizabeth held her friend as she rocked her back and forth. "Lizzie what's so wrong with me am I really that unlovable." Charlotte sobbed.
"no, no Charlotte never think that," Elizabeth rocked with her friend. "you are well done with him I promise the right gentleman is out there for you."
Well the girls were on the floor of Lucas lodge a knock was heard on the study door at Nether field.
"I bet that's Darcy now," Bingley leaned over to Mr. Gardiner as they both looked towards the door. "Come in."
The door opened and Darcy stood in front of the two men his hands twisting nervously in front of him. "Mr. Gardiner." He nodded to the older man.
"Mr. Darcy," mirth played in his eyes as he watched the younger man.
"Darcy my man sit down you can't just stand there forever," Bingley nodded towards the free chair by Mr. Gardiner. Darcy sat down but couldn't seem to speak so Bingley decided to take it upon himself. "it seems the Gardiner's and their daughters are in Hertfordshire visiting Mr. Gardiners sisters family. The Bennets."
"That's right," Mr. Gardiner interjected. "Fanny and her family live but three miles down the road.
"Miss Elizabeth didn't mention you'd be in Hertfordshire in her last letter," Darcy finally spoke.
"Oh she wasn't aware it was a spur of the moment thing, though she didn't mention you would be here either."
"oh yes Bingley here found this place so we came for a bit of a holiday. I planned to write to her at the first opportunity but it doesn't seem it would have gotten to her anyway."
"no I suppose it wouldn't have," Mr. Gardiner said.
"Mr. Gardiner I'm sure you have obligations at the Bennet's for tonight but why don't you Mrs. Gardiner and the girls dine here tomorrow of course bring the Bennets also."
"That is very generous of you Bingley I'll discuss it with Madeline tonight and send a note to you tomorrow."
"That sounds perfect. " Bingley nodded.
Mr. Gardiner got up and bid the men goodbye before taking his leave he decided he wouldn't tell the girls about Mr. Darcy's presence and just let them find out when they came for dinner.
As Mr. Gardiner's carriage pulled away, Fitzwilliam's horse pulled up he threw the raigns to one of the waiting men and strode towards the front door. Knocking on the door he was surprised when it was Georgiana who answered.
