Elizabeth ate her breakfast in her own solitude and then got out of bed to ring the bell. She walked over to the window as she waited for her maids and looked down to the extensive grounds of Pemberley. The extensive grounds which, were now through matrimony her grounds. Elizabeth smiled to herself in disbelief, a few months ago she had been at this house but not as its mistress. She remembered the visit to Pemberley with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner, that fateful day which would stay lodged in her memory.
Her thoughts were averted when there was a knock at the door and the maids walked in. They stood at the door and curtsied politely before waiting for their mistress's instruction.
"I wish to be dressed now." Elizabeth said to the two maids who stood watching her silently.
"Would you like anything in particular ma'am?" One of the maids asked.
"No, anything will do for today." They curtsied and wandered off to find suitable clothing leaving Elizabeth to her thoughts and memories again.
Elizabeth had just been placed in her undergarments when there was a soft knock at the door and Darcy walked in.
"Wait outside please," Darcy said to the maids. "I would like a moment of privacy with my wife." The maids curtsied and walked out of the door closing it behind them.
Elizabeth wondered for a moment what Darcy wanted but as she watched him a smile appeared on his face and he walked toward her.
"Did you enjoy your breakfast?" Darcy asked as he looked down at her.
"How could I not. I confess myself elated by the aspect of it, I thank you." He smiled down at her before gently kissing her.
"I will leave you to get dressed now, Georgiana is desiring your company this morning."
"I would be glad to give it." Elizabeth said as she smiled. Darcy smiled at her once more before leaving the room and leaving the door open for the maids.
Elizabeth made her way downstairs a while later and walked to the sitting room where Georgiana was sat ensnared by her latest book. She looked up out of it as soon as Elizabeth entered the room.
"Good morning Elizabeth." Georgiana said.
"Good morning Georgiana, what would you like to do today?" The girl smiled immediately and Elizabeth saw a glitter of happiness rush across her young face.
"I could perhaps show you the grounds that you did not see on your visit with Mr and Mrs Gardiner." Elizabeth smiled at her.
"That would be very kind of you Georgiana." Georgiana immediately stood up and placed her book on the table. Elizabeth was overwhelmed by the young woman's enthusiasm as they retrieved their cloaks from the servants and headed outside.
They had wandered around the grounds for at least an hour with Georgiana pointing to specific aspects of the grounds and informing Elizabeth anything that there was to know.
"My brother seemed very averted this morning Elizabeth." She said quickly.
"I saw him once earlier this morning and he seemed to be his usual self, though I confess that it was only for a moment."
"I rarely see him like this," Georgiana added. "But I suppose that he has a reason to be if what I hear is true."
"And what is that?" Elizabeth asked politely not wishing to sound rude.
"I heard from a servant this morning that he received a letter, from Lady Catherine." Elizabeth stopped and turned to Georgiana.
"Lady Catherine!"
