Earning Darcys Trust – Jennifer Joy

Elizabeth shook her head and sighed. “Do not speak so, Mother. Mr. Darcy was not so unpleasant as you imply. Did he not dance with several ladies during the course of the night? And he was perfectly attentive to his sister.” Elizabeth knew Jane would manage to say something kind about Mr. Darcy.

She was incapable of speaking ill of anyone. It was true enough what she said about Mr. Darcy dancing with the other ladies, but it only made the sting of his insincerity in asking her all the more painful. Father entered the room. “The carriage is being polished up so that my girls may arrive in style.” Mother gasped. “Oh, but no!

They must not take the carriage. They shall ride on horseback to Netherfield Park.” Silence overtook the room. “My love, you see the clouds outside. Surely it will rain.” “Precisely, Mr. Bennet.” Had Mother gone mad? “We shall arrive wet,” exclaimed Elizabeth. “Exactly! Your figures will show to greater advantage in wet dresses—” “Immodesty is the seed from which impure thoughts and immorality grow,” interrupted Mary in all her sternness.

For once, Elizabeth agreed with her. “Be that as it may, these things often require a helping hand. If we are very fortunate, one of you will catch a chill, thus prolonging your stay.” Elizabeth was at a loss for words. She looked to Jane, who stared at mother with wide eyes and an open mouth. Father, who had taught Elizabeth through his example to see the humor in any situation, had the audacity to laugh.

“Whatever happens, you will have an interesting story to tell in years to come. People always like a good story— especially a love story,” he said. Elizabeth bunched her fists on her hips. “We shall arrive with red noses and I see nothing romantic about a sneeze.” Mother waved off her concern.

“Wake him up, boys! Get him!” Darcy pulled the covers over his tousled head, but it was too late. Two cold, wet noses fought their way through the blankets and bathed his face with their slobbery tongues. He groaned, wishing he could spend just five more minutes in delicious slumber. “Bounce! Stubbs! Get off me!” Darcy put his arms over his face and tried to roll over. Bounce, always true to his name, had pounced on top of the bed, pinning Darcy down and poking his face down and through the sheets.

Stubbs sat on the floor with his nose by the pillow, sniffing his hair and waiting for more exposed skin to lick. “Some hunters you are.” Giving up the fight, Darcy put his arms down and opened his eyes to see two happy dog faces looking at him. Stubbs licked Darcy’s cheek, his stumpy tail thumping against the floor; Bounce nudged his nose under Darcy’s hand. His father, George Darcy, stood over his bed with a grin on his face.

“A fine way to wake up, is it not?” Darcy glared at him. “There are nicer ways.” “Well, I could not very well poke you with a stick, could I? Take care to cheer up before you see your mother. Georgiana kept her up most of the night.” He slapped the side of his leg, and the dogs hurried over to sit at his feet. “Why does Mother not let the nurse take care of Georgie so she can get some sleep?

It is her job after all.”
