Easter of 1799 has arrived and a jolly gathering at Netherfield is anticipated of Elizabeth, Darcy and Georgiana together with the Bennets, Gardiners, Philipses, Colonel Fitzwilliam and others. But when Darcy and Bingley visit London, Darcy returns a day early and is evidently out of sorts. Elizabeth puzzles over Darcy’s obvious disquiet but he doesn’t explain himself.
A visit from Caroline Bingley, her friend the raffish Viscount Cedric Morley and Lydia adds to the puzzle. Darcy’s unsettled mood continues. He and Bingley appear to be having a lot of quiet chats, and plan another visit to London.
Since Darcy neglects to tell her what is going on, Elizabeth looks for signs and formulates her own theories. Darcy is much engaged over his intention to start a papermill in Derbyshire and to that end he visits a mill in Hertfordshire and plans visits to a mill in Kent as well as to London, ostensibly in connection with the sale of his London house. Elizabeth is discomfited by his absences and feels that she is being deceived. Her imagination starts to run riot.
As the festivities at Netherfield continue, the romances of Colonel Fitzwilliam with Elizabeth’s friend Harriet Layham, and between Lieutenant Colonel Harvey and Kitty progress and Georgiana attracts an admirer. Meanwhile, Elizabeth frets and the mystery deepens.
Written in a classic, easy-to-read, literary style, ‘Easter At Netherfield’, the third book in the Elizabeth Bennet series, is another well-researched account of life in the late eighteenth century for the landed gentry and others and again is a tribute to literary icon Jane Austen for creating such interesting characters.
