Elizabeth Rowley eventually gained Marina's respect after several years of marriage to Silas. Any familial closeness still eluded the sisters, and the fourth year into their marriage Marina begrudged the former Bennet the truth – Elizabeth was not, nor ever been, a fortune hunter. Hannah Rowley appreciated Elizabeth's devotion to Silas and the health of Rowley Estate, choosing to educate the young lady on estates and how to run them up to the day she drew her last breath.

No matter how hard they tried for more children, Elizabeth's only child, Cornelius, delighted his parents exceedingly. When he turned eight, Elizabeth allowed him to spend a whole month with his grandparents at Longbourn each year. Hertfordshire rarely spoke ill of the Bennets afterwards and Cornelius proved that a good raising and instilled sense of propriety prevented the likes of Ruth and Lydia Bennet.

Lydia Collins wrote often and long letters to all her family, never being out of contact for more than a few days at a time. Her union to William Collins produced no felicity on either side, granting Lady Catherine the pleasure of offering advice to deaf hearts and bleeding ears. The marriage bed produced six children, three who died at childbirth. Two sons and a daughter survived to adulthood.

A miracle widowed Lydia when her eldest boy turned 10. They moved to Longbourn, at which point, months later Mr. Bennet died of old age and a cold. Lydia heartlessly removed her mother to a dower cottage and reigned as mistress of Longbourn until her son took control of it at age one and twenty. Unlike her father, she invested her jointure into the land and her daughters dowry, vowing that Charity would marry for love. She died before she could witness such a union.

John and Thomas served the Collins name well, and when Thomas purchased a commission in the navy with John's help, they aided Charity in marrying a wealthy merchant from the south.

Jane's new home pleased her and Charles's ever present attentiveness never left her without. Caroline, Emmeline, and Priscilla stayed with Charles until they married Mr. Jones spent two years pursuing Lady de Bourg before offering to Caroline. Emmeline and Priscilla eventually married well to landowners, granting Jane the home to herself.

Mr. Bingley fathered four children, one boy, three girls to Jane, all resembling their mother. Naturally George inherited the estate and Diana, Florentia, and Augusta married within Derbyshire and neighboring counties. Jane often invited all the children to her home during the summer, aiding in marrying Kitty's daughter to the third son of an earl.

Mary eventually married Mr. Lucas and they welcomed a life of peace at Lucas Lodge. Since the Lucas had many children, Mary often played the role of big sister until they left Lucas Lodge. Charlotte did not marry and went into service as a companion for a wealthy Anne de Bourg.

Lady Lucas gradually ceded control to Mary until a year from passing, Mary fully controlled the household schedule. Sir William Lucas died two years later, Hertfordshire losing one of its most jovial persons. No children graced the couple and Lucas Lodge would be inherited by the second eldest brother, upon the death of Mary's husband after three and twenty years of marriage.

Kitty's courtship with Mr. Miller never amounted to much more than fancy. An offer from a visitor of the neighboring county freed Kitty of Longbourn. When Mr. Harris purchased Netherfield, Kitty neighbored not only Mary but also her parents. Hertfordshire welcomed a brood of nearly 10 children, all of who survived adulthood.

All in all, all the Bennet sisters lived on to be remembered , loved, and forever in the hearts of Hertfordshire.
