Sneak Peak:
Chapter 38: Tête-à-tête with Dad
Thursday went by in a lazy fashion. Elizabeth was jetlagged and took refuge under a large oak tree in the garden with a book. William was left to himself and decided to contact Peter regarding the ball and Elizabeth's idea about how to get back at Caroline. Peter sounded excited over the idea and was eager to get started. Peter already had a person in mind that could infiltrate and get Caroline to spill her guts if only they could get her into the ball. William was fairly sure that wouldn't be a problem.
"I need to speak with you after breakfast," Mr Darcy said to his son on Friday morning. William thought it just as well to have it over with. They had a lot to talk about. He had some great ideas for the company, but he guessed his father wanted to talk about other things.
"I'm just going to drop Lizzie off at the Bingleys, after that I'll be all yours," William answered. Elizabeth was going to have lunch with her sister and Mrs Bingley and then hit the town to find something to wear to the ball. William was meeting her for dinner and a movie later that afternoon.
