Right now it's reading a lot like Mills & Boon :)

But let's see whether there will be new conflict in this chapter:
_________________________________
6:03 p.m.  Chapter 44:  Seven pages.

6:04 p.m.  Interesting how the pace has changed:  Now stuff keeps happening *earlier* than when Elizabeth expects it to happen.  Miss Darcy shows up---

6:07 p.m.  For the third time in the book, there's walking "up and down"  :)

6:09 p.m.  And people are "ready", "eager", and "determined to be pleased."  I stand corrected:  Austen's satirizing Mills & Boon  :)

6:17 p.m.  And the townsfolk reinforce the points on Darcy and Wickham.  A novel has great scope.

6:21 p.m.  Not only will they dine at Pemberley, they will visit Miss Darcy the following morning already.  What are the odds that they'll run into Darcy?  :)

6:23 p.m.  Done.  More tomorrow---
