LIZZY
Aunt, aunt! I've been looking for you everywhere!
MRS. GARDINER
Lizzy! What is it? You look terrified!
LIZZY
Oh, aunt. I've seen him! We must leave at once.
MRS. GARDINER
Who, Lizzy?
LIZZY
Mr. Darcy! He's here!
MRS. GARDINER
Lizzy, catch your breath.
LIZZY
We have to leave. Before he sees me... um, I mean us.
MRS. GARDINER
But Lizzy, surely he'll allow us to finish our tour.
LIZZY
No, no. My being here is improper. Very improper.
I shouldn't be here.
MRS. GARDINER
Whyever not?
LIZZY
He may loose the dogs on us.
MRS. GARDINER
Oh Lizzy. Don't be silly. You heard what Mrs. Reynolds said about
him. Never a cross word --
LIZZY
But, aunt. He thinks... he probably thinks I'm here to...
to..., oh!
MRS. GARDINER
To what, Lizzy? I'm sure he'd be delighted to see you.
LIZZY
No, no.
MRS. GARDINER
But Lizzy, is that Mr. Darcy? Walking this way?
LIZZY
What?
MRS. GARDINER
He's coming up behind you. ... Good day, sir.
