Elizabeth stared at Georgiana for a moment before she spoke again.
"Lady Catherine wrote to Mr Darcy." Georgiana took Elizabeth's arm and continued walking in the direction of the house.
"She did, or that is what my maids told me this morning. I hear that it displeased my brother greatly, he stormed into his study informing that he is not to be disturbed."
"My goodness, I wonder what Lady Catherine can say to displease Mr Darcy so."
"Very little." Georgiana stated. "My brother told me of the displeasure she showed to him at Netherfield before your engagement."
"It was not only to Mr Darcy that she demonstrated her displeasure Georgiana, as your brother would have informed you she also showed her displeasure to me, commenting that the shades of Pemberley are to be polluted."
"I understand that but I never understood the reasons for her displeasure toward you, you are a wonderful person Elizabeth and I am pleased to have you for a sister." Elizabeth blushed slightly at her new sisters words. "Did you displease Lady Catherine at a point of your visit to Rosings last April to cause her this displeasure?"
"I think I must have Georgiana but I must confess myself unaware of it." Deep in Elizabeth's heart she knew why Lady Catherine was displeased, she behaved improperly toward Lady Catherine on her visit to Longborne causing their relationship to be non-existent. Mr Darcy was aware of his Aunts displeasure of their engagement and Elizabeth's unwanted connections but Elizabeth was contented for the fact that he had chosen her over his relations. Elizabeth smiled to herself.
"What finds you so content to smile Elizabeth at such news?" Georgiana asked suddenly, Elizabeth quickly regained her composure and thought of an appropriate answer to tell her sister.
"It is just a memory Georgiana of a long existent past which is to be forgotten." Georgiana was puzzled for a moment. "Do not think anything on it Georgiana, it is memories which more that I wish to forget."
"Then why do you find it amusing?" Elizabeth asked.
"I find that happiness over comes any problems. The memories of the past may indulge my mind but I smile and the memories do not seem so unpleasant. You should try it, it makes you feel far more content." Georgiana laughed.
When they walked into the house a servant came over and took their cloaks and hats before asking if they wanted tea.
"Georgiana, you go to the sitting room and wait upon the tea, I shall talk to Mr Darcy. I shall not be long. Then perhaps you can show me again your exquisite work on the pianoforte." Elizabeth said before smiling at her.
"I would be glad to." Georgiana walked away in the direction of the sitting room while Elizabeth walked toward Mr Darcy's study.
She paused for a moment outside of the door debating to herself if she should knock. She finally built up the courage and knocked upon the door and stood to await a reply. A moment later a strong voice desired her entrance. Elizabeth swallowed quickly and walked into the room.
"Lizzy." Darcy said as he stood up and walked over to her, he shut the door and beckoned her over to a seat. Elizabeth accepted it greatly and sat for a moment looking at her husband.
"How are you?" Darcy asked.
"I am well Fitzwilliam, I have just returned from a walk with Georgiana." Darcy smiled at her. "And how are you?" Darcy sighed.
"I am well Lizzy, very content now that you are at my side." Elizabeth smiled at him.
"What says Lady Catherine?" Elizabeth asked quickly. Darcy swallowed and looked down at the floor before returning his eyes to the beautiful woman who sat before him.
"I think that we both know what Lady Catherine said in her letter this morning Lizzy." Elizabeth nodded.
"She wrote to further admit her disgust to us." She said. Darcy stood up and walked over to his desk and picked up a letter, he walked back to Elizabeth and handed her it.
"You may read it." Elizabeth looked down at the letter before she started reading.
My dear Nephew,
I earnestly hope on your receiving this letter that you do not find it as a reconciliation of my feelings toward your marriage into the Bennet family, if you do then I feel that you shall be very much mistaken. I do however, send you the appropriate terms of my situation as your Aunt and as a respectable member of society and give you my compliments.
I feel that your choice of wife will be criticised later in your marriage but not only by yourself and your bride but also by Georgiana, she is a very respectable young lady and I feel a strong disappointment that she may be neglected later in life by the improper upbringing of your wife.
I feel my dear nephew that with my visit to Netherfield a few months ago that our relation has recently been terminated on the grounds of the conversation which, I held with you. I can fully understand that the feelings that you demonstrated toward me were due to the moment in time that I arrived and the circumstances I laid on you. For those reasons I offer my apologies to you but I feel that I cannot offer my apologies to your wife for my dealings with her. The conversation between myself and the new Mrs Darcy was an abomination to the aspect of my status and I firmly agree with myself when I say that the feelings I showed toward her were natural and just, I offer nothing to her in the way of a friendship, she does not deserve such a gratification of my power.
I would desire your company at Rosings again, you have always relieved my solitude during your times here. I would however have to state that with Anne's ill health and my disapproving nature that we could not accept the company of your wife although Georgiana is always welcome.
Yours Faithfully
Lady Catherine.
A/N he he, I have left you all in suspense again, now what will Elizabeth have to say about this letter, disgust, anguish, hatred or relief…I will leave that up to you to decide and see if you are right. Sorry it is so short again…I like to keep people wondering.
