Se i racconti giovanili di Irène Némirovsky trattavano gli stessi temi dei romanzi coevi – l'amore, la nostalgia, il disinganno, l'ambizione, l'avidità, l'ipocrisia dei legami familiari, il rimpianto per le occasioni mancate, l'impossibile assimilazione – con una leggerezza mondana, sia pur velata spesso di malinconia, quelli composti dal 1938 in poi, nell'ultima, febbrile stagione della sua scrittura, offuscata dalla minaccia della persecuzione e della guerra, hanno un tono più grave, a volte quasi cupo.

With his coat discarded and his hands marked by honest labour, she naturally assumes he is one of the estate’s gardeners —and speaks to him with all her usual openness. Fitzwilliam Darcy knows he ought to correct her mistake. Instead, charmed by a young woman who sees neither his fortune nor his consequence, he allows their conversation to continue.

Some goodbyes happen long before we realize they are the last.

Instead, they discover a spectacular greenhouse hidden behind the cabin —and an old military footlocker containing a sealed letter that was never mailed.

The day following the Netherfield ball, Fitzwilliam Darcy is entrusted by Miss Bingley to convince Bingley of the undesirability of a connection with the Bennets while she herself prepares to move the household back to London without the knowledge of her brother.
