Chapter 06 : Happiness.
About two weeks later, Georgiana opened her brother's letter with trepidation and read as follows. After reading her brother's letter after the visit of Lady Catherine, she knew his hopes were higher than before.
Netherfield, November
Near Meryton
Hertfordshire
Dearest Georgiana,
You have at last a new sister. Yesterday, my dearest Elizabeth told me she loved me and agreed to be my wife.
I am happy, Georgie, as happy as you have always hoped for me to be. By Elizabeth, I became a better man. It is my intention to make her just as happy and content as she has made me, to create a new life with all she deserves to have for the wonderful woman she is. She expressed the wish to become better acquainted with her new sister. Now I have fulfilled my promise to you, Georgie. I will bring back a new sister to you on my next visit.
I have written to Cousin Thomas and asked him to escort you to Hertfordshire. Pray excuse me for not coming myself. I have no desire to be separated from my fiancée (what joy it is to write that word at last!) We will expect you at the end of the week.
Your loving and blissfully happy brother,
Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Georgiana sighed with relief and said, "Finally." She moved to her writing desk to compose her reply to her brother.
