When Elizabeth and Darcy return Jane asks where they could have been for so long, but Elizabeth dismisses the question for the evening until she and Jane retire to their room, where she confesses her engagement to Mr Darcy. Jane doesn’t believe her at first, and Elizabeth is forced to confess the change of her feelings towards Darcy and how it came about. After a long conversation Jane finally accepts it and is overjoyed for her sister. The following morning Darcy and Bingley come by the house, Darcy to the distain of Mrs Bennet, and she suggests that Elizabeth goes on a long walk to keep him from disturbing Bingley and Jane. While on the walk, Darcy and Elizabeth conclude that Mr Bennet’s consent must be asked for that evening, and when home, as soon as supper is over, Darcy follows him to his Library. When Darcy leaves with a smile, Elizabeth is calmed a little, but Darcy then asks her to go see him too. Mr Bennet is bewildered and frustrated with Elizabeth, believing her to hate Darcy. She then needs to sadly explain that she does not, and indeed, loves him. Mr Bennet is still confused, but eventually after more explanations, that Elizabeth is not just in love with him, but her confession that she would be happy with him, he consents to her marrying Darcy too. All that is left is for Elizabeth to tell her mother. Like her Husband, Mrs Bennet cannot believe it, and she sits in silence for the first time ever while Elizabeth explains all to her. When she can finally respond, she feels happier that she has ever felt before, and feels sorry that she ever spoke a bad word against him.
