The Netherfield Ball is now over and Elizabeth learns from Mr. Darcy that Mr. Bingley’s sisters and Mr. Hurst have left Netherfield to return to town. Darcy also said that he and Bingley would leave Netherfield in a few days. When she challenges him and asks for the reason that they are leaving, his response does not satisfy her, for Darcy said they would likely never return to Netherfield. Darcy had never seen Elizabeth so angry and her words pierced his heart when she said she hated him. After their bitter exchange Darcy knew where he stood with Miss Bennet, but might he be able to change things between them, and did he even want to, and what part would fate play? He would soon have his answer.
In a time of gentlemen and their ladies, Mr. Darcy found himself in a hopeless situation with a young woman who had commandeered his heart. As he struggled to get control of these first time feelings and to change those of Miss Elizabeth Bennet, there would still be obstacles to be overcome for him to win Elizabeth’s love.
