Footmen cleared the furniture in the drawing room to place all the seating parallel to one wall, wrapping around, and moved the carpet to sit squarely within, to act as a stage. Elizabeth found the room to be so altered, a small jolt of excitement ran through her producing a fresh patch of goose flesh.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane luckily drew the first slot from the folded bits of parchment in Mr. Bingley\u2019s hands. Elizabeth noted\u00a0her sister\u2019s breath quicken as Jane sat with a serene smile on her face. While Caroline and Mr. Darcy drew their numbers, Elizabeth wished she could offer to take Jane\u2019s place to spare her sister the nervousness of performing first.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Well, Miss Elizabeth, it is down to you. Only the second and fifth spots remain.\u201d Mr. Bingley played a jolly good fellow and shook his hands to mix the lots in the cupped cage of his palms. Presented with a fifty percent chance of going last, Elizabeth selected her fate and unfolded the small bit of parchment.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It would appear I am to conclude our evening\u2019s festivities.\u201d She flipped the parchment to show a carefully scrawled \u20185\u2019 in the middle of the creases.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Would you prefer I go first?\u201d Mr. Bingley whispered to Jane, who nodded and blushed. The happy Bingley flashed his intended a bright smile, \u201cI hoped you would agree.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Mr. Bingley took the stage, Elizabeth slid on the sofa to reside close to her sister Jane.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mr. Bingley dramatically cleared his throat and made a flourish with his hands as\u00a0he had seen actors in London on stage do the same. \u201cI humbly dedicate this sonnet to the love of my life, my angel, Sweet Jane.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline gasped as her brother stunningly pronounced his attachment to Miss Bennet, a development she and Louisa suspected but hoped would not come to pass.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love . . .\u201d Charles Bingley began a lovestruck recitation of Sonnet 116 to the inward groan of Fitzwilliam Darcy.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy panicked as the \u2018surprise\u2019 element of this activity robbed him of the sonnet he had prepared with Miss Bingley. He intended to dedicate it silently to Miss Elizabeth, but now he could not very well stand up and recite the same sonnet! Darcy searched his memory of the sonnets\u00a0for a solution as applause broke out for Mr. Bingley\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane responded to Mr. Bingley\u2019s lovely sentiments with much of her own, through the words of Sonnet 57. The professions of being a slave to her love, of minding the clock without minding his absence, and being a fool in love made those gathered round without the initials C.B. very uncomfortable. Darcy acknowledged for a moment perhaps Charles was indeed quite the lucky man that a depth of passion did reside beneath the simple woman\u2019s sweet smiles and congenial conversation.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Still without an answer for his performance, and only Caroline\u2019s to go, Darcy grabbed a copy of the sonnets on the table and flicked to a familiar number. Running his eyes over the words to commit the image to his memory, his desperate adjustment was interrupted when Caroline Bingley began to command attention.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Like my brother, I too wish to dedicate my sonnet to someone quite special.\u201d Miss Bingley smiled as Darcy lifted his head, the stares of the remaining party causing him discomfort. All color drained from\u00a0his face at Caroline\u2019s first lines:<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">A woman\u2019s face, with nature\u2019s own hand painted, Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy faltered in his indifferent expression as Miss Elizabeth coughed, earning a glare from Miss Bingley. Darcy looked past the happy couple separating him from Elizabeth in the seating arrangement, but his chair was at least half turned so he could see her without obstruction. His lovely Elizabeth struggled to keep her countenance as it was clear they both recognized the sonnet from the first lines, a lewd dedication to a man, as none other than number 20.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline passionately rendered her superficial understanding of the sonnet, grinning ear to ear as she delivered the final line to a stunned silence.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">But since she pricked thee out for women\u2019s pleasure, Mine be thy love, and thy love\u2019s use their treasure.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Miss Bingley smiled and preened, awaiting the applause that scarcely came. Flustered, she furrowed her brow until Miss Elizabeth dared to address her.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Is this sonnet the one you practiced with Mr. Darcy this afternoon?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline rolled her eyes at her adversary. \u201cI respected his wishes for a surprise, so I recited one I memorized this morning as my first choice.\u201d Miss Bingley glanced back and forth between that upstart and Mr. Darcy, unsure of what she had done wrong. She had selected a sonnet that complimented a man\u2019s handsome features, how could Mr. Darcy not accept the compliment?<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy? What sonnet do you have for us?\u201d Mr. Bingley tried to move the proceedings along so Caroline might sit down and let Darcy start.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As you took my first choice, friend, I am forced to recall a sonnet that has been much on my mind lately.\u201d Darcy stood and walked widely around Miss Bingley who did not leave the stage area until the man stood where he planned to begin. Caroline scowled as she took the chair next to Mr. Darcy\u2019s empty seat.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Miss Bennet and Charles have dedicated sonnets to each other, and we have had other dedications . . . \u201d Darcy shook his head slightly at the unpalatable memory of Miss Bingley referring to his manhood via poem. \u201cThis sonnet is dedicated to a lady of great wit, who deserves more than a mere mortal man may offer.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline sat up taller in her chair, fully expecting Mr. Darcy\u2019s sonnet was dedicated to her. Elizabeth Bennet glanced\u00a0down at her hands in her lap.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Take all my loves, my love, ye, take them all.\u201d Mr. Darcy\u2019s baritone floated richly through the air over the lines of Sonnet 40, forcing Elizabeth to look up and find\u00a0he only had eyes for her. Her breath caught in her chest as she mouthed the sonnet along with him, feeling the pricks of tears in her eyes at such a romantic gesture directed at her.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-th06tu2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1658 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"th06tu2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">[swpm_protected not_for=\"3-4\" do_not_show_protected_msg=\"1\"]\n<center>\n<b>Advertisement<\/b>\n<\/center>\n[\/swpm_protected]<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-jnd4jmm elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1589 elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"jnd4jmm\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">[swpm_protected not_for=\"3-4\" do_not_show_protected_msg=\"1\"]\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300 x 250 Google Ad For Chapters -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7008164687543724\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5583540785\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/center>\n[\/swpm_protected]<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-nljoldv elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"nljoldv\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-nhayecn\" data-id=\"nhayecn\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-uvlbhdm elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"uvlbhdm\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Chapter 6 (cont'd) - To Capture Mr. Darcy, a Pride and Prejudice Variation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ncyljeg elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ncyljeg\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">And yet love knows it is a greater grief to bear love\u2019s wrong than hate\u2019s known injury.\u201d Darcy smiled, breaking his serious demeanor as he spied his Elizabeth nodding slightly in agreement to his plea. With a grand finale, Darcy looked up at the ceiling to invoke his last line:<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows, Kill me with spites!\u201d He paused, allowing his booming demand to rest in the air, then slowly he lowered his gaze to offer his Elizabeth a smoldering smirk.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Yet we must not be foes.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth joined him in the last line, to the applause of both Jane and Mr. Bingley. Miss Bingley folded her arms and sulked as she realized Mr. Darcy did not look at her even once during his recitation.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Elizabeth rose from her seat, she and Mr. Darcy shared a moment of quiet camaraderie. She took his meaning, or so Darcy hoped, as he took Elizabeth\u2019s seat on the settee to be\u00a0front and center for her sonnet, instead of the chair next to Miss Bingley.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This should be exciting; Lizzie loves to play act.\u201d Jane bristled under the excitement of what was to come, having been witness to Elizabeth\u2019s extravagant monologues during rainy days at Longbourn in their youth.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Oh dear, now I shall be sure to disappoint!\u201d Elizabeth laughed merrily as Jane shook her head. Caroline began to speak, but her brother cut her off.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Do not keep Miss Elizabeth waiting, it is her turn,\u201d Bingley nodded to his future sister and Elizabeth nodded back, also striking an elegant pose of her arm draped dramatically over her forehead and her body cheated to the side away from her audience.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">That time of year that thou mayst in me behold,\u201d Elizabeth\u2019s arm outstretched above her as she bent backward, her profile displaying the womanly curves she was blessed to possess to great advantage. Her fingers fluttered as she brought her arm down, leaning\u00a0over so that it hung limply before her. \u201cWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Elizabeth shivered and continued to perform an elaborately artful movement to each line of her sonnet, Darcy wetted his parted lips with a slip of his tongue and squirmed in his seat. The woman twisted, turned, and at one point delivered her lines in a booming voice to the far wall! His imagination ran wild producing a cold sweat on his brow of the magical days and evenings the two of them might share at his estate in Derbyshire, two masterful minds of wit and charm.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This thou perceiv\u2019st, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long.\u201d Elizabeth delivered her last line straight as a stick, doleful, with her eyes on none other than Mr. Darcy.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As the loudest applause yet echoed in the room, Darcy crossed his legs as he considered her last line. Was Elizabeth saying that she lamented leaving Netherfield in the morning? Their earlier conversation had been cut short by Miss Bingley, and Darcy, too, felt desperate to rekindle the subject matter of their feelings for one another.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline spoiled the triumph of Miss Elizabeth by immediately ordering a new game, barking orders at the footmen to hang a sheet.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline, what is this? We have performed as you desired.\u201d Charles Bingley raised his eyebrow at his sister\u2019s sudden plans, plans she did not discuss with him at all.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It is time for shadow pantomime! We have cards and must all try to guess what is being displayed on the other side!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The room became darker as the majority of the candlelight was moved to the opposing side of the sheet hanging now\u00a0from chandeliers that had been half snuffed. Caroline took the first turn as the furniture too was rearranged to two chairs and the small sofa brought forward. With Jane and Charles taking the lover\u2019s seat, Darcy and Elizabeth took the chairs positioned close to one another.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Caroline began her performance of some exotic bird to the laughs and cheers of\u00a0Mr. Bingley and Jane. Darcy took the distraction and lowered light to his advantage. He deliberately brushed his bare hand against Elizabeth\u2019s. To his surprise, when he returned his hand to his arm rest, he was greeted with a similar gesture just a few moments later when Mr. Bingley took his turn behind the sheet.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The two enjoyed this easy, imperceptible affection until it was Darcy\u2019s turn to perform. As the man leaned forward to accept a card from Miss Bingley on Jane\u2019s far side, he whispered a simple phrase to make Elizabeth\u2019s blood thump painfully in her ears from her quickened pulse.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Gentle thief.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/calibre-internal.invalid\/images\/svgimg0001.svg\" width=\"81\" height=\"40\" name=\"graphics1\" align=\"BOTTOM\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The excitement\u00a0of their last night at Netherfield Park with sonnets and shadow games put the Bennet sisters in a good mood as they climbed the stairs to their rooms. Elizabeth farewelled Jane in the hall, knowing the following night they would be sharing their\u00a0room instead of enjoying elegant guest quarters in the most luxurious home in the county. Elizabeth was about to undress for the night, having released the pins in her hair and brushed out her locks, when a distinct tap sounded at\u00a0her door. Frozen with brush in hand, and staring at her reflection in the mirror, Elizabeth heard it again. A distinct short tapping on the door. Perplexed as to who might\u00a0be unable to knock, Elizabeth rose from the mirror and opened her door.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mr. Darcy!\u201d Elizabeth hissed with a frown on her face.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I wondered if we might speak.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth shook her head. \u201cRight here in the hall?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Darcy motioned with his hand that he might be let into the\u00a0room.

After Mr. Darcy, himself, is summoned to Brighton to hopefully solve two dilemmas with one wealthy member of the gentry, the whole militia is thrown into an uproar by Wickham&#8217;s most dastardly deed, yet.

But to do so would be a mistake, and she knew it. Agitated, she fumbled to lock the door for good measure then paced in her bedroom to release her\u00a0nervous tension.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How dare the man ask to enter her rooms! What did he take her for? Stinging tears pricked the corners of her eyes as her logic and emotions all mixed into a flurry of chaos in her mind. She recalled the deliciously unsettling feelings every moment their hands touched in the drawing room. It was wanton, and forbidden, and she was so utterly wrong to have encouraged him. It was true what they warned, improper advances were always around the corner with just the slightest misstep by a young lady.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Feeling vulnerable, she did not undress for bed. She considered running to Jane\u2019s room, but for the first time in her grown life, she was not sure Jane would provide her comfort. Jane appeared to love Mr. Bingley body and soul, though their\u00a0acquaintance too was of such a short time. Elizabeth hugged her arms to her person and settled beneath the covers, laying on her side with her eyes upon the blasted door.
