    Mr. Bingley leaves Hertfordshire after his ball, throwing the Bennet family into turmoil and Jane Bennet into despair. Sensing an opportunity, Mr. Collins capitalizes on this event to stoke Mrs. Bennet's fears in his attempt to force Elizabeth Bennet's to accept him, but Elizabeth remains firm. 
     
    Gossip reveals that Netherfield Park is to be opened again, but the resident at the estate is soon revealed to be Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth does not appreciate Mr. Darcy, for his slight of her and the stories from Mr. Wickham have left her in a state of festering disapproval and disdain for the gentleman from the north. 
     
    The gentleman proposes to her, leading to Elizabeth's acrimonious refusal, but she soon realizes her opinion of Mr. Darcy is amiss when he explains certain facts of Mr. Wickham's history and acts to bring Mr. Bingley back to Hertfordshire. She allows Mr. Darcy to call on her, determined to learn more about the enigmatic gentleman. 
     
    Yet Mr. Collins has not abandoned his hope. A man so ineffectual as he is no temptation for Elizabeth, and he just may yet be of some use to her, for there is no comparison between a silly parson and a gentleman such as Mr. Darcy . . .
