Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 59-61
Elizabeth tells Jane of her conversation with Darcy. At first Jane is surprised - she didn’t think Lizzie liked Mr. Darcy at all - but then overjoyed that her sister will be married to him. Darcy asks Mr. Bennett for Elizabeth’s hand. Mr. Bennett is also surprised at this news - as he too thinks Lizzie does not like the man, but Elizabeth assures him she does and that this is what she wants. Elizabeth also tells her father it was Darcy who paid Wickham. Her father is delighted that he does not have to pay back his brother-in-law. Elizabeth tells Mrs. Bennett who is shocked and then beyond happy to know not only are three of her daughters being wed but that Lizzie will be wealthier than even Jane! Elizabeth asks Darcy when and how he came to love her. He cannot be sure when but he fell in love with her because of her spirit and mind. The news of the engagement is shared: Elizabeth writes to the Gardiners, Darcy to Lady Catherine, and Mr. Bennett to Mr. Collins. Mr. Bennet writes that though he knows Lady Catherine may be angered by Darcy denying marriage to her daughter, Collins should seek side with Darcy as he is more well off. Collins does and visits the family with congratulations. Jane and Bingley move into an estate near Pemberley. The Bennet family visits often - especially Kitty who spends more time with her sisters and becomes a fine young woman. Mary stays at home with her parents. Lydia often overstays her welcome at the Bingleys, constantly asks Jane and Elizabeth for money (Elizabeth does oblige with her own savings), and moves around constantly. Georgiana and Elizabeth become close. Caroline Bingley has welcomed Jane to the family and, though disappointed in Darcy’s marriage, is cordial to Elizabeth. Lady Catherine and Darcy eventually make amends and she visits Pemberley. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production. Listen away.

Mr. Bennett shows the letter to Lizzie and laughs at the idea of her marrying Darcy. Bingley and Darcy visit Longbourn again - they go on a walk with Jane and Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Darcy end up alone. Elizabeth finally thanks him for what he did for her family. Darcy admits he did it all for her - that he still cares for her. She finally admits that she also cares for him. They both apologize for everything they’ve done. (Darcy also told Bingley it was him that didn’t notify him of Jane being in London. Bingley forgives him.) Darcy admits it was when he heard how Elizabeth responded to Lady Catherine, that he knew he still had hope. He apologizes for how he acted before - admitting pride.

But, she is also happy Bingley did not tell Jane that it was Darcy who tried to dissuade him of the romance originally. Lady Catherine makes a surprise call on the Bennet family. She and Elizabeth take a walk where Lady Catherine demands to know if she is engaged to Darcy - a rumor she heard despite Darcy being betrothed to her own daughter. Elizabeth denies this.

Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 51-52
Lydia and Wickham visit Longbourn. Lydia is in a new bride state of bliss - oblivious to any trouble she has caused, bragging, and getting anyone she can to call her Mrs. Wickham. Elizabeth observes that Wickham does in fact return affection for Lydia. When regaling the details of her wedding to Elizabeth, Lydia lets it slip that Darcy was in attendance. She immediately apologizes - saying she was meant to keep that bit a secret. Wanting to know more, Elizabeth writes to her aunt for more information. Mrs. Gadiner’s return letter confirms Lizzie’s fear and hope that Mr. Darcy was the one to find the couple and then paid Wickham the large sum of money, but asked Mr. Gardiner to take credit. Darcy claims it’s because he feels guilty for not speaking of Wickham’s manners sooner, but Mrs. Gardiner thinks there is another reason as well, then makes note of how lovely a man Darcy is.

On the way to Longbourn, Mr. Gardiner attempts to dissuade Elizabeth’s fears by stating Wickham must be certain to marry - otherwise his own reputation and career would be at stake. Elizabeth does not agree - as Wickham’s previous actions don’t support this claim. When they arrive at Longbourn, they find Mrs. Bennet in a state of panic. She tells her brother that when he finds Lydia, to make sure she marries Wickham (and to consult her on the wedding dress). Mr. Gardiner joins Mr. Bennett in London to search for the couple. Jane and Elizabeth read a letter from Lydia to Mrs. Foster. In the letter, Lydia says how delighted she will be to sign her name Mrs. Lydia Wickham - showing that at least she thinks she’s getting married and did not run away with worse intentions. Rumors begin to reach the family of Wickham’s debts due to gambling and his lavish lifestyle. The news reaches Mr. Collins who writes to the Bennet family, ensuring them that Lydia has ruined their reputation and any chance of their daughters marrying. He says Mrs. Collins and Lady Catherine agree with him. Mr. Bennett returns home having failed to find Lydia. He asks for no one to speak of the matter with him, as he is feeling guilty for letting it happen in the first place. He swears he will be more cautious with Kitty.

Introducing Strong Sense of Place
This week, we would like to introduce you to Strong Sense of Place, a show distributed by Realm. This episode is "London: The Tower, Tudors, and a Nice Cuppa Tea" There's been a bridge over the Thames in London for about 2000 years. In the time since its founding during the Roman Empire, London has become one of the world's most diverse cities. Today, it's as well known for its Indian food (try the restaurants in Brick Lane) and Middle Eastern cuisine (visit Edgeware Road) as it is for a proper afternoon tea (finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and endless pots of tea). It's also a book lover's paradise with museums dedicated to literary classics — Hello, Sherlock Holmes! Good day, Mr. Dickens! – along with the British Library (don't miss the tour), Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, and Shakespeare's Globe where you can watch a play in a faithful reproduction of the Bard's theater. In this episode, we clear up any confusion about London's main bridges, make a case for why you should visit the Tower's Ravenmaster (and his six raven friends), and learn about the mad skills of London cab drivers. Then we recommend five great books that took us there on the page, including a twisty courtroom drama, a time-traveling guidebook, a murder mystery set in London's North End, a beloved urban fantasy, and a modern classic with an unlikely hero. Here are the books about London we recommend on the show: Something to Hide by Elizabeth George Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan London: A Travel Guide Through Time by Matthew Green Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit our show notes . Transcript of London: The Tower, Tudors, and a Nice Cuppa Tea . Do you enjoy our show? Do you want access to awesome bonus content? Please support our work on Patreon !

Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 40-42
Elizabeth tells Jane of Darcy’s proposal and letter - leaving out the bits on Bingley and focusing on Wickham’s true character. She asks Jane if she should expose Wickham to their mutuals, but ultimately they decide against it, as Darcy didn’t expose the matter to anyone himself. Colonel Foster’s wife extends an invitation to Lydia to spend the summer with them in Brighton. Elizabeth asks Mr. Bennett to not allow Lydia to go, worried Lydia’s flirtatious nature will embarrass the family. But Mr. Bennett believes there is nothing to be done about her nature - it's either her at home or in Brighton, and in Brighton perhaps she will mature. Thus, Lydia departs for Brighton, leaving behind a jealous Kitty. Elizabeth sees Wickham before he leaves. She makes mention of having seen Darcy and met Colonel Fitzwilliam. Wickham comes to understand, through Elizabeth’s discreet hints, that she knows the truth of his past. They depart. Elizabeth reflects on her parent’s marriage: she’s disappointed that her father has married a ridiculous woman, yet also disappointed in her father as he has not been a respectable spouse. In July, the Gardiners take Elizabeth on a tour of the country, as promised. Mrs. Gardiner suggests they visit Pemberley. Elizabeth agrees when they discover Darcy will not be home.

Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 35-36
Darcy hands Elizabeth a letter. Within the letter is Darcy’s explanation for everything. He again admits that he withdrew Bingley from Jane. But, he did so because he was worried for his friend - a lovesick Romeo in this case - and didn’t think Jane’s affection was as strong as Bingley’s and that she may be taking advantage of the situation. Darcy also doesn’t approve of the Bennett family as a suitable match for Bingley to marry into. As for Wickham, Darcy states that he did give Wickham a sum of money when his father passed - money that was meant to be spent on law school. But Wickham used up the funds and demanded more. When Darcy refused, Wickham charmed Darcy’s young sister, Georgina, in hopes of claiming the fortune - as Darcy sees it. He was almost successful at it too - Georgina was ready to elope with Wickham before Darcy intervened. Upon first reading the letter, Elizabeth was shocked and in disbelief - how dare Darcy double down on his statements. But after rereading and rereading the letter, Elizabeth began to recount all her interactions with Wickham. She surmised Wickham was not the virtuous man that she believed him to be and that Darcy’s letter must be true. She became ashamed of herself and her prejudice.

Elizabeth predicts he is measuring her as a potential match for Fitzwilliam. One day, Fitzwilliam surprises Elizabeth on her walk instead.

He also tells Elizabeth of Darcy’s recent excursion in Netherfield, where he influenced Bingley to leave in order to avoid an “imprudent marriage,” unbeknownst to him that he was speaking of Elizabeth’s sister. Thus, Fitzwilliam confirms Elizabeth’s fear that it was Bingley’s friends who forced him away and caused such sadness in Jane. Darcy admits his love for Elizabeth and extends an offer of marriage. Elizabeth rejects the proposal and their conversation becomes heated. Darcy, hurt by the rejection, and Elizabeth angered that Darcy broke up Bingley and Elizabeth - which Darcy now confirms himself.

It’s made clear that she has a strong hand in Mr. Collin’s life and home, thus she’ll also have one in Charlotte’s. Lady Catherine then turns attention to Elizabeth and criticizes the Bennetts for how they brought up their daughters.

After dinner, Collins winces at the idea of reading a novel. Instead, he opts to read sermons to the girls only to be interrupted, thus ending his evening with a game of backgammon with Mr. Bennett.

Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 10-11
Elizabeth spends another evening with the Bingleys and Darcy. Darcy and Elizabeth find themselves in another stimulating quarrel only to be stopped by Mr. Bingley. Darcy's attraction to Elizabeth grows to the point where he admits if it weren't for her class status, he would be in trouble of actually marrying her. Caroline notices this attraction and pushes harder to dissuade him from Elizabeth. She encourages Darcy to imagine him married to a Bennett, only to poke fun at how ridiculous their lineage would look intertwined. Thanks to Mrs. Bennett's visit the other day, this is not hard for Darcy to agree with. That evening, Jane, finally well, joins the group for dinner but their after dinner activities are lackluster. Caroline tries to gain the attention of Darcy, only to fall victim yet again to his playful tete-a-tete with Elizabeth. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production. Listen away.

Elizabeth spends the evening with the Bingleys and Darcy. The Bingley sisters make quiet comments on Elizabeth's muddied dress from the walk and on her family's lack of money, all of which make her an undesirable match. After dinner, the others play cards while Elizabeth opts to read. Caroline Bingley praises Darcy on the beauty of his library at Pemberley and the accomplishments of his sister. The group discusses what defines an accomplished woman and Elizabeth, after hearing the long list, is surprised that any woman should meet the status. The next morning, Mrs. Bennett and Lydia call to check on Jane. While Mrs. Bennett knows Jane's illness is not dire, she insists she stay at Netherfield with the Bingleys. Lydia reminds Mr. Bingley that he promised to throw a ball - which he will, when Jane recovers. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production. Listen away.
