Pride and Prejudice (1995)

Two rich, eligible and handsome young bachelors gallop into Hertfordshire and into the lives of every hopeful young maiden in the neighborhood.

The Bennets are expecting a visitor – Mr. Bennet’s clergyman cousin, who will inherit the estate in the absence of any direct male heirs.

Elizabeth is shocked to discover that less than three days after Mr. Collins’ proposal to her best friend, Charlotte Lucas, his offer has been accepted.

Angry and upset over his rejection, Darcy decides to defend himself. Not every insult she flung at him was fair. He waylays her on her morning walk, hands her a letter and leaves.

The Bingleys arrive at Pemberley with Darcy's sister, Georgiana. They call upon Elizabeth, who is staying nearby, and the visit is a success: Elizabeth immediately warms to Georgiana.

There is great excitement in the neighbourhood when Bingley returns to Netherfield, bringing Darcy with him.
