Trying to write the letter to Elizabeth
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Hey, Fitz. How's about that game of three-cushion you promised me?
DARCY
Sorry, not now, Richard. I've got a letter to write.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Oh, that can wait. Wouldn't you like a chance to win back that twenty pounds?
DARCY
No, this letter can't wait. I need to write while it's all still fresh in my mind.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
While what's fresh in your mind? Did something just happen that you have to tell Georgiana about immediately?
DARCY
No. It's not for Georgiana.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Look Fitz, my billiard cue is in a very good mood right now.
DARCY
Why don't you go talk to Anne?
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Because she's in with her mother.
DARCY
Oh.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Well, be not alarmed, Fitz, that your poor cousin Richard will die of boredom. After all, there is so much fun to be had here at Rosings.
DARCY
Richard, first thing in the morning. I promise.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Morning? You're going to be busy with this letter all night?
DARCY
Yes, I'm afraid so.
COLONEL FITZWILLIAM
Good gad. ...I wonder if it's too late to call on Miss Bennet.
DARCY
Hmm. "Be not alarmed." ...I like that.
