Elizabeth keeps meeting Mr. Darcy on her favourite walk, which is odd, since she told him it was her favourite walk. This episode is the complete audiobook of Chapter 33 of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, in which a pleasant stroll with the wrong cousin hands Elizabeth the missing piece of the Netherfield story.

Colonel Fitzwilliam, agreeable as ever, falls in beside her in the park and talks with the frankness of a man who has nothing to hide. Younger sons, he observes, cannot marry where they like; there are not many in his rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to money. Then, praising his cousin’s loyalty, he mentions the service Darcy lately did a friend.

• Fitzwilliam reports that Darcy congratulated himself on saving a friend from the inconveniences of a most imprudent marriage, a friend understood to be Mr. Bingley, on account of strong objections to the lady.
• Elizabeth supplies the objections herself in silent fury: one uncle a country attorney, another in trade in London, and nothing against Jane at all but her family.
• Every past doubt rearranges itself: not Caroline’s scheming alone but Darcy’s will, his pride and caprice, is the cause of all that Jane has suffered.
• The agitation brings on a genuine headache, and Elizabeth stays home alone from the Rosings tea-drinking rather than sit in company with the man who ruined her sister’s happiness. The choice will have consequences.
