Upon their return to Hertfordshire, Bingley and Darcy formally call on the Bennets at their estate Longbourn. During that visit, Darcy and Elizabeth behave formally, but Bingley and Jane quickly restart their affection for each other. During a subsequent visit, Darcy is persuaded that Bingley and Jane's affection is genuine and lasting, and thereupon confesses to Bingley of his previous treachery in splitting the couple. Based on this new information, Bingley promptly asks Jane to make him the luckiest man, and she accepts. Because Elizabeth has given Darcy no indication that her feelings toward him had changed, Darcy returns to London. He is unwilling to chance a second rejection.
