Resolutions (Felicity in Marriage Part Four): Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice continues

The Bennet family is in danger of losing Longbourn.

Mary and Mrs. Bennet fear they must soon make way for the Collins family. When that will be and where they shall go preys constantly upon those ladies’ minds.

With the shocking death of her husband last September, Mrs. Bennet’s worst fears have been realised. The looming prospect of losing her home is almost too much to bear: her spirits are low, she goes nowhere and receives no one. Not even the arrival of two new grandchildren can improve her mood, one of whom claims rather dubious parentage. Only her hatred of Mr. Collins has the power to animate.

The mysterious delay in the Longbourn Estate entail weighs just as heavily upon Mr. Collins. He is impatient to assume his rightful position and everything conferred by such an illustrious title. For him and the comfort of his family, a resolution cannot come soon enough.

Fortunately, Kitty, Jane, and Elizabeth have more to be happy about. Kitty is content as a wife and new mother in London; and after the birth of her second daughter, Elizabeth appreciates her easy proximity to Jane, and the peace and quiet at Pemberley. A peace destined to be shattered, once the situation at Longbourn is resolved, by the inevitable arrival of her mother and sister, Mary, who will take up residence at Pemberley Grange. Mr. Darcy’s devotion to his wife’s happiness is selfless indeed.

Immerse yourself back into the world of Pride and Prejudice as Felicity in Marriage Part Four rejoins the characters on their individual journeys towards happiness. There are more than a few resolutions as the Bennet family steers its way out of the turbulence of loss and disgrace into the calmer waters of surety and sensibility.
