Elizabeth has refused Mr. Darcy's offer of marriage but he has opened her eyes to the true character of Mr. Wickham. When she arrives home she is worried to find him so friendly with her sister Lydia. Lydia goes to stay at Brighton, and Elizabeth spends a summer holiday in Derbyshire with her uncle and aunt. With them, she visits Pemberley, Mr. Darcy's country seat, thinking him absent. But to her embarrassment he turns up unexpectedly. Next day he calls at the inn where she is staying, to find her distracted by sudden news from home.
