With Easter approaching, Mr Darcy arrives in Kent for a visit with his great-aunt Lady Catherine. Lizzy soon becomes acquainted with his more affable cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, while Darcy himself remains at a distance. 

But it's only a matter of time before the two of them are teasing each other again, as the moderately accomplished Lizzy shows off her modest piano-playing talents. Will music be the food of love?

Arriving at the parsonage in Kent to visit her friend Charlotte, Lizzy submits to an exhaustive tour of the neighbourhood, conducted by her tedious cousin Mr Collins. Every local landmark is pointed out in minute detail, not least the grand estate at Rosings, home to his wealthy patroness, Lady Catherine De Bourgh.  

Before long, Lady Catherine invites Lizzy and the Collinses round for dinner... where our free-spirited young heroine doesn't exactly make a favourable impression.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the drawing room, Lizzy shows no sign of letting Mr Darcy off the hook, teasing him about his stubbornness and pride. But despite Caroline Bingley's best efforts to stir up trouble between them, Lizzy's provocations only seem to stoke Darcy's admiration for her.
