Mr Darcy is a rather reserved and gentle duck.

He lives in the best park and feels very important — too important to accept an invitation to tea.

Sadly, this makes him lonely.

Mr Darcy lived by himself on the edge of Pemberley Park.

It was a place where the trees blossomed and the lake sparkled.

Mr Darcy loved Pemberley Park, but sometimes he felt lonely.

One day he received an invitation to tea with Lizzy and her sisters.

But Lizzy lived in a small, ordinary park that Mr Darcy never visited.

He shook his head, tossed the invitation aside and set off for his daily walk into the village.

Everyone admired his tall hat.
