Elizabeth and Darcy walked back into the drawing room where Georgiana and Jane were sitting. Jane stood up immediately.
"How is father?" Jane asked quickly. Darcy and Lizzy smiled.
"Elizabeth has corrected his views." Darcy said to her. "He now sits with his family and all seem more content."
"What did you sat Lizzy?"
"That is of no consequence." Elizabeth said to her. "The only thing that is of consequence is that Father is feeling much better and promised not to take as much refuge in his library. He is going to write to me occasionally." Jane smiled broadly.
"I am pleased to hear it."
"Are you going to introduce me to your family Jane, Lizzy." Georgiana said. Jane smiled at her.
"Of course we will Georgiana, I am sure that my mother will take much enjoyment in it." Jane said to her.
"Perhaps you could call on them tomorrow." Darcy said as he sat down on a sofa. "Charles and I are going shooting while the weather is fine."
"Perhaps we could." Elizabeth said. "We could walk there tomorrow. I will also do you good Mr Darcy to have some enjoyment with your closest friend, he has perhaps missed your company as much as you have his." Darcy smiled at her.
"How far is the Longborne estate?" Georgiana asked.
"A few miles, not too far. It is a pleasant walk is it not Elizabeth." Jane said before looking to her sister who had sat beside Mr Darcy.
"It is certainly is. If you admire the walk to Lambton Georgiana you will enjoy the scenery to Longborne." Georgiana smiled.
They sat for a while in conversation before Darcy went to join Charles. It is was the opportunity that Elizabeth had been waiting for, she could talk to Jane alone.
"Georgiana, would you show Jane your remarkable talent on the pianoforte?" Georgiana agreed easily and made her way over to the piano. Elizabeth immediately walked over to her sister and sat next to her. Jane placed her hand on Elizabeth's.
"Are you sure you are well Lizzy?"
"I am very well Jane, I assure you."
"And you are happy?" Elizabeth could do nothing but smile.
"I am very happy, I feel that I could not be happier." Jane smiled at her younger sister. "I thought that when I married Mr Darcy that everything would be perfect, it is do not misunderstand me. But I feel that when I am around him that I still feel indebted to him for what he did for our family." Jane looked puzzled, Elizabeth had never told Jane how Mr Darcy had saved their family from ridicule.
"What can you possibly mean Lizzy? What did he do?"
"He saved us Jane, all of us." Jane was still confused. "Mr Darcy saved us from the remarks of others after the downfall of Lydia."
"I still do not understand you."
"He was the one who discovered Lydia and Wickham." Jane's eyes widened in shock but she listened in interest. "He paid for the wedding, and Wickham's commission."
"I thought Father said that Uncle paid up to ten thousand pounds to help Whickam?"
"No, It was Mr Darcy who paid the money. It was Mr Darcy who insisted that our Uncle should take credit for it."
"It that why you fell for him Lizzy?" Jane asked. Elizabeth smiled.
"I had already fallen in love with Mr Darcy before the unexpected situation with Lydia. He was with me when I received the letters from you informing me of her elopement."
"And that was when he close to help us?"
"He said the he would but I told him it was too late, I thank God for the prospect that he did not listen to my words." Jane laughed.
"I am indebted to Mr Darcy then." Jane said. "For without him I would not be married to Charles and would have become an old maid."
"Oh, dear Jane. Are you happy?"
"Elizabeth you know I am happy. You saw my countenance break on the evening when I was engaged to him. I told you that I could die of happiness. I still believe that."
Jane and Elizabeth's conversation stopped when Georgiana stopped playing on the pianoforte but they both felt inside that each had persuaded the other that they were both equally happy in the relationships that they had.
