Book Two: The Body in the Woodland
Ironically the title of the book says it all, who would have thought on the eve of the Lady Anne's Ball that there would be a body in Pemberley's woodland area.
In addition, could Wickham cause Darcy anymore stress, knowing there history it is not hard to believe there stress at Lydia's arrival at the estate in such a mess. The party finding Wickham over Denny's dead body is startling to all, considering what Lydia's reaction and description are upon here arrival. I found Sir Selwyn Hardcastle to be quite a character, old school and serious. What do we really know about what happened? Who killed Denny? Is Wickham's story true was it somebody else but who? Why would haughty Lydia come to the Lady Anne's ball uninvited other than to embarrass her sister Elizabeth. It is like she has no care for societal issues.
What do you think of Wickham's supposed confession, Do you think it was a confession? Based on Lydia's arrival at the estate how will she take the news of Wickham's being alive, but under suspicion of murdering his best friend? Elizabeths reflections on the past and possible foreshadowing of what could become the reality of the situation was interesting for the last page. What are your thoughts?????? e>

What I would like to know is why the Colnel went to talk to the servant's family and why it took so long, and how he knew where the cottage was. Also, how did Wickham get the alcohol to get so drunk? I also wonder about why Lydia was on her way to the ball. I thought Sir Selwyn was a little self-important.
As the cousin of Darcy who spent a number of years on the estate, He would be just as familiar as Darcy about the location of most things. I am curious how he convince the ladies of the cabin to open the door. Also what might they have chatted about? Sir Selwyn is a bit pretentious to say it nicely.
