6. Who becomes an esteemed authoress, "A Derbyshire Lady"?

Answer: Gerard Geoffrey and Jane Georgiana

During Darcy's continental absence Elizabeth found she was with child. Her father dies and has to be taken to Longbourn, for he dies at Pemberley.

9. Which husbands have illegitimate sons in the novel?

Answer: Wickham, Gerard Darcy, Mr Howgrave and Charles Bingley
