I can now offer this evidence Written by John S2 (5/27/2007 4:30 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I too don't see Darcy consulting anyone ..., penned by Helen Halstead

Excerpts from Darcy's letter (Chapter 35)

... My sister, who is more than ten years my junior, was left to the guardianship of my mother's nephew, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and myself. ...

... For the truth of everything here related, I can appeal more particularly to the testimony of Colonel Fitzwilliam, who, from our near relationship and constant intimacy, and, still more as one of the executors of my father's will, has been unavoidably acquainted with every particular of these transactions. ...

It appears that Darcy and Colonel Fitwilliam do, in fact, share intimate information and work closely together. It seems reasonable that Darcy, considering all he had to lose if he acted precipitately, would have counseled with Colonel Fitzwilliam, if only to get a second opinion on what he thought of Elizabeth´s nature and character.
