Chapter One
LIZZY LOOKED UP FROM her embroidery as Mrs. Reynolds entered the salon where she sat, listening as Georgiana practiced the pianoforte. There was an air of excitement about the housekeeper that had her setting aside her needlework. Is something the matter, Mrs. Reynolds?
No, Mrs. Darcy, but you have a visitor.

She blinked back tears for a moment and forced herself to look at the baby, finding he was a perfect mix of Lydia and Wickham’s features. He was a handsome little fellow, and she tried to suppress a pang of envy. She smiled at him and then at Lydia. I did not know you have a child. Mama has not said a word.
Lydia frowned. "I have not yet
