“I do so love the Christmas season,” said Elizabeth to Jane as they crossed the expansive snow-covered lawn fronting the Pemberley manor. “Everywhere one travels, the people are happier and their laughter is more easily and often provoked; why, I can even detect a spring in their step. It is not an exaggeration to proclaim this to be my favorite time of the year.”
Georgiana had invited Elizabeth and Jane to enjoy the Christmas holiday with her at Pemberley, and the sisters had been quite pleased to accept. The friendship between Mr. Darcy’s sister and Elizabeth had grown in the months since Mr. Darcy had begun courting Elizabeth, and Elizabeth now considered Georgiana to be a dear friend.
READ MOREElizabeth and Jane had arrived in Derbyshire the previous day in the company of their aunt, Mrs. Gardiner, who had reluctantly agreed to act as chaperone for the visit after Mrs. Bennet begged and cajoled her. Mr. Gardiner and their children had remained at Longbourn for the Christmas celebration, a fact Mrs. Gardiner bemoaned as the trip progressed. Mr. Darcy was himself absent, having accompanied his sister to Lambton to complete her purchases of Christmas gifts.
Mr. Bingley, who had gone to London for the purpose of tending to business affairs, was expected to join the company later in the evening so that he might share in the Christmas observance on the morrow. While walking to the drawing-room earlier that morning and discussing the gentleman’s anticipated arrival with Jane, Elizabeth had noticed that none of the staff and servants were bustling about to make the manor ready for Christmas. She had inquired of Mrs. Reynolds and been informed, to her dismay, there were no decorations prepared, as Mr. Darcy did not encourage such. In response, Elizabeth had asked permission of the estate’s master to address the lack. Approval had been given, but only grudgingly.
Refusing to be disheartened by Mr. Darcy’s unenthusiastic response, Elizabeth had cajoled her sister to accompany her as she explored the estate grounds for growths of holly and ivy with which to decorate the manner. In a wonderful stroke of good fortune, they had even discovered a growth of mistletoe prospering in a stand of evergreens. Elizabeth planned to pluck the sprigs and fashion them into kissing boughs for placement atop a few of the manor doors.
