Elizabeth and the Gardiners make their way back to Longbourn, where they are quickly brought into the Bennet family fold and learn how everyone's been holding up since learning of Lydia's flight from Brighton. Jane has been holding down the fort, while Mrs. Bennet has confined herself to her room and is convinced that Mr. Bennet and Mr. Wickham will fight in a duel. Meanwhile, Kitty is subdued after the loss of her favorite sister, and Mary offers Elizabeth the balm of sisterly consolation and a reminder about the nature of women's virtue. Elizabeth is grateful to be back at home to support her family, despite the circumstances. As she settles into the comfort of her own home, let this week's Friday Favorites help you settle into the comfort of a night of restful and relaxing sleep.
