Transcripción
Lizzie sits on the stairs lacing up her white sneakers, jaw set. Lizzie: 'I'm walking there.' Mrs. Bennet throws up both hands in horror: 'It's three miles! In the MUD!' Lizzie pulls up her jacket collar with a stubborn little smirk: 'She's sick. So I walk.' Mrs. Bennet slumps dramatically against the doorframe as the front door already stands open onto a wet, dim blue evening.

Acerca de este capítulo
Caroline Bingley invites Jane to Netherfield, and Mrs. Bennet — smelling opportunity — packs her off on a bike with no ride home just as the sky turns, betting a downpour will force Jane to stay the night. The plan works too well: Jane arrives soaked, spikes a fever, and is stuck under Bingley's roof, sick. When the news reaches home, Lizzie doesn't hesitate — she walks three miles of muddy road to reach her sister, arriving flushed, windblown, and unbothered by the mud on her jeans. Caroline is appalled; Bingley is charmed; and Darcy, who came to Netherfield certain Lizzie's laughter meant nothing to him, cannot stop looking at her. Cornered into the same house for one long evening, Lizzie and Darcy trade barbs across the dinner table — and by the time the rain is still tapping the guest-room window, Lizzie catches herself not entirely hating that she's stuck here.
