FINAL SCRIPT<br />
Jumping over styles, springing over puddles?<br />
KITTY<br />
Finding yourself at last in view of the house...<br />
LYDIA<br />
With weary ankles...<br />
KITTY<br />
And dirty stockings?<br />
ELIZABETH<br />
And a face glowing with the warmth of exercise. (Kitty and Lydia exit one way and Elizabeth<br />
continues off the other.)<br />
SCENE 6 - DRAWING ROOM - NETHERFIELD – Later that morning - (Mr. Darcy is<br />
sitting at the desk writing a letter, Caroline is hovering over him, and Louisa is sitting on the<br />
sofa with her husband who is napping. Mr. Bingley is looking at a book of poetry.)<br />
CAROLINE<br />
You write uncommonly fast.<br />
MR. DARCY<br />
You are mistaken. I write rather slowly.<br />
CAROLINE<br />
How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a year! Letters of business,<br />
too! How odious I should think them!<br />
MR. DARCY<br />
It is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of yours.<br />
CAROLINE<br />
Pray tell your sister that I long to see her.<br />
MR. DARCY<br />
I have already told her so once, by your desire.<br />
CAROLINE<br />
I am afraid you do not like your pen. Let me mend it for you. I mend pens remarkably well.<br />
MR. DARCY<br />
Thank you—but I always mend my own.<br />
ALFRED<br />
Miss Elizabeth Bennet. (Elizabeth enters.)<br />
ELIZABETH<br />
Good morning.<br />
MR. HURST<br />
(Wakes.) My word.<br />
ELIZABETH<br />
Please pardon my appearance. May I inquire after my sister?<br />
CAROLINE<br />
Miss Bennet slept ill, and though up, is very feverish, and not well enough to leave her room.<br />
LOUISA<br />
Did you walk from Longbourn, Miss Bennet?<br />
ELIZABETH<br />
I did.<br />
MR. HURST<br />
I say.<br />
MR. BINGLEY<br />
You will want to be taken to your sister immediately. Alfred, please show Miss Bennet to her<br />
