Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are looking forward to aΒ relaxing stay withΒ dear friends when their carriage is hailed by a damsel-in-distress outside of the village of Highbury. Little do the Darcys realize that gypsies roam these woods, or that both their possessions and the woman are about to vanish into the night.
The DarcysΒ seek outΒ theΒ parish magistrate, who is having a difficult evening of his own. Mr.Β Knightley and his new wife, the former Miss Emma Woodhouse (the heroine of Jane Austen's Emma) are hosting a party to celebrate the marriage of their friends, Mr. Frank Churchill and Miss Jane Fairfax.
