A/N: I sincerely apologize for my super short chapter, but at least I
updated! Only took me almost a year. That's alright. I had the urge to
write today after watching the second half of the A&E version of Pride and
Prejudice, and then rereading the last three chapters of Pride and
Prejudice. So...I wrote this. Hopefully you'll enjoy it and review!
"Th....thank you," she stammered, which just made Mr. Weston's grin even wider.
"I am Henry Weston, pleased to meet you Miss...."
Mary just gaped at him, too astonished to even form her name. Finally, she managed to stammer "Bennet, Mary Bennet."
"Well, Miss Bennet, it is very good to make your acquaintance. You play very well."
"Th...thank you."
"Do you sing as well?"
"No, I believe my singing does not surpass my playing."
"I would like to be the judge of that." Mr. Weston teased. Wide eyed, Mary turned back to the instrument and started again, this time singing along. They stayed like this, with Mr. Weston listening and Mary playing until they were called to supper by a confused servant, who had gone to call Mr. Weston from his chamber, only to find him no longer there. They turned to the dining hall and met Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy for supper. Elizabeth kept quiet throughout supper, continuously glancing at Mary with smiling eyes as the latter kept an animated conversation with Mr. Weston.
After supper, Mr. Weston announced himself to be tired from traveling, but stated that he would be unable to retire until he heard the "lovely Miss Bennet" play another song for him. With red cheeks, Mary complied, and Mr. Weston retired to his chambers smiling widely. The others soon followed suit, and retired as well.
"Well, Fitzwilliam, I see you have been following through with some matchmaking," Elizabeth laughed at her husband as soon as they had retired to their chamber.
"Matchmaking!" Mr. Darcy exclaimed with some astonishment.
"Did you not see the way Mary and Mr. Weston were watching each other during supper? Darling, it must be love"*
"Mary and Mr. Weston!" Mr. Darcy seemed very befuddled by the whole business.
"I see why you must have been confused about Jane's feelings for Mr. Bingley! I do not know how you could miss such sure signs of love."
"Mary and Mr. Weston..." Mr. Darcy repeated, yet again.
"Dear, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, Elizabeth, Mr. Weston is engaged."
