When Mrs. Bennet hears the news that Lydia and Wickham
are to be married, she is overjoyed. Both daughter and future son-in-law are instantly
forgiven and Mrs. Bennet can think of nothing but the happiness of having a daughter married.
After Lydia is married, she and Wickham come to Longbourn for a visit before joining Wickham’s new regiment in the North. Lydia is unchanged. She remains wild, noisy and fearless, and expresses only pride in her elopement. When she accidentally lets it slip that Mr. Darcy was at her wedding, Elizabeth is wild with curiosity. She immediately writes to Mrs. Gardiner to demand an explanation.
Mrs. Gardiner returns the letter with one of her own expressing surprise at Elizabeth’s ignorance of Mr. Darcy’s role in uniting Lydia and Wickham. It turns out that Mr. Darcy was responsible, firstly, for finding Wickham, and then, for bullying and bribing him to marry Lydia.
Time passes and life continues as usual for the Bennet family after Lydia’s marriage until, one day, they discover that Mr. Bingley is returning to Netherfield for a shooting party. Bingley’s acquaintance with Jane is quickly renewed and he proposes to her shortly after. Bingley is accompanied by Darcy on most of his visits to Longbourn but Elizabeth is distressed when Mr. Darcy hardly even speaks to her.
Shortly after Bingley and Jane’s engagement, the Bennet family is surprised by a visit
from Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It seems that Lady Catherine has heard a rumour that
Elizabeth will soon marry Mr. Darcy, her nephew. She has come, therefore, to have the
report universally contradicted and to gain a promise from Elizabeth never to enter
into an engagement to Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth, of course, refuses to oblige her imperious demands.
Lady Catherine’s objections to the marriage do not have their intended effect and in a few days, Mr. Darcy returns from London to Longbourn. In a walk together, Elizabeth and Darcy are reconciled and their engagement is formed.
The movie ends with a double wedding between Elizabeth and Darcy, and Jane and Bingley.
