Beyond Words A Pride And Prejudice Variation – Lydia Fairfax

When Georgiana prevailed upon her to play in return, Elizabeth complied without false modesty and without pretending to possess greater skill than she did. Georgiana praised her warmly and with perfect sincerity, which Elizabeth accepted with a laugh and the acknowledgement that she had been very thoroughly surpassed. After luncheon they walked together about the grounds of Netherfield. It was there that the conversation truly opened. They were speaking of London when Georgiana said, “I am to come out next year.” “I know. Do you look forward to it?”

Georgiana considered the question. “I believe I am afraid of it.” Elizabeth turned to face her fully. The slight droop of her shoulders and the hesitation in her expression told their own story. “There will be so many people,” Georgiana continued. “And so many opinions. I sometimes wonder what they will make of me.” Elizabeth was silent a moment. She had known for some time, from something Georgiana had mentioned in an earlier conversation, that she had lost her mother very young. Four years old, she had said once, almost casually, as though it were merely a circumstance, she had learned to bear rather than a grief that had shaped her life.

Elizabeth had not pressed her then. She did not do so now, though she could not help thinking that this was precisely the sort of conversation a mother, an aunt, or a sensible elder sister ought long ago to have had with her. “Most people will make of you whatever you first persuade them to believe,” Elizabeth said, taking her hand. “If you enter a room as though you belong there, the greater part of the company will accept it without question. People are seldom paying as much attention as we imagine.”

Georgiana looked at her curiously. “You make it sound very easy.” “It is not easy,” Elizabeth said. “But it may be learned.” She paused, allowing Georgiana a moment to consider it. “Confidence is not the absence of fear.

Fitzwilliam Darcy paced the small drawing room, his hand raking through his hair. “How could you trust him?” He had ridden eight hours from London with his fury carefully assembled, certain at least of one satisfaction — that he would face Wickham directly and settle the matter as it deserved. He had been denied even that. Wickham was gone. How he had known to leave, Darcy could not determine. What he found instead was Mrs. Younge, Georgiana’s governess, standing in the hallway entirely unrepentant. When pressed, she had not dissembled.

She confirmed every suspicion Darcy possessed and informed him, without apparent regret, that Mr. Wickham had quitted Ramsgate that very morning. Darcy had dismissed her on the spot. She had left without a word of protest, which told him everything he needed to know about her complicity in the affair. So there was only this: a small drawing room by the sea, his sister standing in the middle of it, and eight hours of anger with nowhere left to go.

She was looking at him as though she did not know whether he had come to save her or condemn her. “Sit down,” he said. She sat. He did not. He crossed to the window and stood with his back to her. It was a bright afternoon, indecently so. Gulls moved in slow arcs above the shore.
