Page Six was lucky enough to see Jane and Elizabeth Bennett riding home in Charles Bingley’s carriage earlier today. The sisters gave us a couple minutes of their time, and we were able to catch up on the events of the past couple of days.
A few days ago, Mr. Bingley sent Jane a note inviting her to Netherfield Park for the day. Jane went on horseback and got caught in a downpour, ending up ill. The next day Elizabeth hiked over, showing up soaking wet and with dirty stockings. “It was so embarrassing- I could tell I was going to be humiliated in front of Mr. Darcy and the Bingley’s. There was no way of avoiding it if I was to help Jane recover though.”
When questioning Elizabeth about her interactions with Darcy, she didn’t hold back. “Well, the first night we had a lively debate about what he thought constituted an accomplished woman. And let me tell you, I never saw such capacity, and taste, and application, and elegance that he described in one person. So demanding! We did appear to be hitting it off a bit, until I heard him tell Miss Bingley that if it were not for the inferiority of my connections, he should be in some danger.” We will have to see if Mr. Darcy gets over the social standings and really does care for Elizabeth!
The next day, Mrs. Bennett showed up with younger sisters Lydia and Catherine in tow. “I’m not too sure why she came- she spent the entire time trying to convince Bingley not to leave Netherfield,” said Jane. “It was a little bit of a relief when she finally left that evening.” The next day, the sisters were desperate to leave so they borrowed Bingley’s carriage to return home.
