Transcripción
A wide cinematic shot. Lizzie trudges three miles of muddy road at dusk in light rain, wet fields all around her, collar up, hair windblown and damp, mud splashed up her white sneakers and the ankles of her jeans, cheeks flushed. A small, determined half-smile stays on her face. The cool glass Netherfield mansion glows on the hill ahead. (No dialogue.)

Lizzie walks a muddy country road at dusk in the rain, mud on her jeans and sneakers, the lit glass Netherfield mansion glowing on the hill ahead.
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.
