Pemberley was now Georgiana's home, and the sisterly love
that grew between her and Elizabeth was exactly what Darcy had
hoped to see. Georgiana had the highest opinion in the world of
Elizabeth, though at first she often listened with astonishment to
her lively, joking way of talking to the brother for whom she, as a
much younger sister, felt so much respect.
Lady Catherine was extremely angry at the marriage of her
nephew, and expressed her feelings in a letter so insulting to
Elizabeth that for a time all friendly connections were ended.
The Collinses removed to Lucas Lodge until the storm had
blown over, which it did at last, when Elizabeth persuaded her
husband to offer to end the quarrel.
With the Gardiners they had always the warmest relationship.
Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them, and they both felt
most grateful towards the persons who, by bringing her to
Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.
