Bingley and Jane moving

I am still not over the wedding of my nephew and Elizabeth. It has not begun to feel like reality. 

I have heard that Jane and Bingley and moving within a thirty miles of Pemberly sometime this year. Mrs. Bennet is absolutely distraught that three of her daughters have moved away from her. Currently, one of them, Kitty, is at Pemberly. Mr. Bennet is also at Pemberly considering the only people continuously left and Longborun is his wife and daughter, Mary. 

Darcy has invited me to come over for dinner, but I do not see the point in it. Maybe something interesting will happen soon.

For now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

To my disgrace...

It is very difficult for me to type out these words. My dear nephew has just sent me word that he proposed to Elizabeth again. She accepted the proposal this time. I am appalled at the nerve of that girl! Does she not understand her ranking to us? I most certainly will not accept this. To think, she'll be just over yonder at Pemberly soon.

Oh! my poor Anne! What will she do about a husband now? She is far too ill to go to any ball or to town to meet any men. I'm sure something will pan out.

I must rest, for I am still weak over the news. 

The lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

The nerve!

My visit was brief and has greatly upset me. I arrived at the Bennet home only to go for a walk with Elizabeth in the garden. My sole purpose for this trip was to warn Elizabeth to stay away from my dear nephew because she is far inferior to us. 

While explaining that Mr. Darcy and my Anne have been meant for each other since birth, I asked her to promise me not to enter an engagement with my nephew. 

She refused this! 

Appalled, I departed the Bennet estate as soon as I reached my carriage. The nerve of that child!

I must cool down, so for now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine 

Jane and Bingley

It has come to my attention that Mr. Bingley and Jane are now engaged. I heard it happened one night after dinner when the two just so happened to be alone. To say the very least, Mr. Bingley asked Mr. Bennet for his daughter's hand in marriage, so I must admire that, I suppose. Mrs. Bennet on the other hand is overwhelmed. I think they would have been far more happier had my nephew become part of their family, but I have said this before and I shall declare it again- we all know that won't happen! On that note, I do believe I will pay the Bennets a short visit. 

Until I return, the lady has spoken.

Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy at Longbourn

This past evening, my dear nephew and Mr. Bingley dined with the Bennets at their home. It is to my disappointment that Mrs. Bennet did not treat Darcy as equally as Mr. Bingley. 

Is she not aware that it was Mr. Darcy who saved her family from a social demise? Had it not been for the kindness of my nephew (which I can still not comprehend why he did this), the Bennets would be a disgrace. I think she's still distraught that Elizabeth refused him; however, she needs to let it go because Mr. Darcy is my Anne's now (better luck to Elizabeth somewhere else).

Anyway, now that that has been taken care of, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

The Wickhams

I'm so glad that title does not apply to anybody in close relation to I. Yes, it is true- Wickham and Lydia married, and that girl is as snotty and arrogant as ever (so I am told). Mrs. Bennet was the only one happy to have her daughter back; on the other hand, Mr. Bennet and the remaining daughters were disgusted at her. 

What have I told you before? Fathers don't care about their daughters and this is a prime example.

However, this silly little marriage would not have happened had it not been for the generosity of my dear nephew who paid off ALL of Wickham's debts. I still do not why he did it. He wrote me to tell me it was because he still loves Elizabeth; however, I hope that will stop because he will be marrying my dearest daughter soon. 

I'd hate for her to have a husband who has feelings for somebody else. Well, there is much to be done around here, so until my next post, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Discovered!

It appears to me that Miss. Lydia and Mr. Wickham have been found by Mr. Gardiner in London. Although they are not yet marrying, they are demanding money in exchange for a marriage. 

Oh, that silly Lydia child! Does she not have a brain? I suppose if this is the only way to keep the Bennets from losing it all then it must be done.  It is also known that Wickham will be quitting the militia and moving North with Lydia once they return.

I am not very moved by his actions; however, I am thankful he is not marrying my daughter. I remember I felt this same exact way when he attempted to run off with my dear niece, Georgiana.

Well, my duty calls, so for now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Nothing New

As far as I'm concerned, Lydia and Wickham have not been found. It is somewhat of a tragedy this occurred because one of the Bennet's daughters is missing with that strange Wickham fellow; however, at least they'll have a daughter that is married, so when that old Mr. Bennet finally croaks, the Bennet daughter won't be out on the street. Oh, I know Mr. Collins will not be happy to hear about that.

I should think that if Mr. Bennet had just let Mrs. Bennet take her silly little trip with all of her daughters to travel with the militia this incident would not have occurred.

Lucky for me, my daughter is upstairs safe and sound.

I shall continue my scriptation later, so until then, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Another day at Rosings

For some reason, today is too quiet. 

My lovely daughter is too ill to come down, so here I sit typing out a post. 

From my understanding, my nephew is still entertaining the Bingleys over at Pemberly. Maybe I'll summon my carriage and take a ride over there, but I honestly don't want to travel. I'll wait for them to come see me since I know they will eventually because everybody loves to come and admire my home. I know that Georgiana is with the party, and I have not seen her in such a long time. I do wish they will journey here soon!

I must attend to some matters around Rosings, so for now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Lydia and Wickham?!?

I have just received word that Lydia is assumed to have eloped with Wickham to get married! I feel terrible for the Bennets to some degree. I mean, Wickham is not an honest man. My nephew did everything to help that man after Darcy Sr. passed away, and Wickham took it all for granted. 

Elizabeth and Gardiners rushed home after Jane sent word of the horrid news. Wickham is a man of absolutely no money, so I am sure that he is just using Lydia in order to gain what little fortune  the Bennets have. Mr. Bennet is currently in London searching after Lydia and Wickham. 

I hope Mr. Bennet has the sense to not enrage Wickham, for the Bennet girls are not suited to live on their own without them. 

I must take leave, so for now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

The Bingleys and Elizabeth

The delightful Bingleys visited  with the tolerable Elizabeth Bennet earlier today. Miss. Darcy was also in company. I wonder how she liked Elizabeth. She's not much for an opinion, for she is extremely shy; however, she is such a genius when it comes to singing and playing the piano. Even if she doesn't like talking, she is still better than Elizabeth, so that is alright with me. 

It is also to my knowledge that Caroline Bingley attempted to enrage Darcy by speaking poorly of Elizabeth. I would expect him to ignore the comment, but he defended her! I am extremely disappointed in his choice to announce that he still finds her beautiful. 

Tisk, tisk. Until another time, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Pemberly

It is to the best of my knowledge that Elizabeth and the Gardiners absolutely enjoyed touring the Pemberly estate. I enjoy my nephew's home as well, but I much rather prefer my own humble abode; however, I just like it open to my viewing. 

On another note, I have heard that Darcy arrived home earlier than expected and encountered the group viewing the grounds. Darcy and Elizabeth made small talk while walking back to the house. I do not know how he can stand to talk to her after what hurt she caused him. It brings me great relief, however, to know that Elizabeth is not staying at Darcy's even after their cordial encounter. I do not wish to imagine what might have happened had she remained there for a night.

Until something worth my time comes along, the lady has spoken

-Lady Catherine

Elizabeth? At Pemberley!?

I have just received word that Elizabeth is at Pemberley, and Darcy is currently not home. I'm not pleased. Yes, she's only touring, but I don't think Darcy will be ecstatic to hear that the girl who has severed his heart in two is touring his manor without his knowledge. I wonder if she will travel up here near Rosings. 

*sigh* 

That would mean I would possibly have to host them for dinner and such. Quite frankly, I don't think I'm the mood for such events to ensue. I hope she has a splendid time at Pemberley and only at Pemberley.

Until another time, the lady has spoken

A departing militia & drama filled teenagers

From what I understand, the militia in Meryton, near the Bennets, is departing and the two youngest daughters are begging Mr. Bennet to let them go. I believe it is in his best interest to let them go. They might end up marrying one of them which means that Collins will not get Longbourn; however, the girls will not be homeless which I suppose is a benefit. 

On another note, Wickham is part of that particular militia. I remember when he tried to run off with Georgina which caused my nephew a great upset and you know how I hate to see my delicate Darcy hurt! Anyways, I heard Wickham and Lizzy had a coarse departure with each other. Lizzy didn't mention anything of the proposal. She should have- Wickham will find out eventually, and I don't believe he will take the news well from a second hand source.

Until something occurs again, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Gone at last?

I have just received word that the carriage containing Elizabeth and Maria has departed! Finally, I can relax. The only people here at Rosings is myself, Anne, and a few servants. Oh there is peace! I have heard word that I was mentioned by Elizabeth because I am doing such a great job of taking care of Mrs. Collins. Dear, I know I am doing a great job, thank you. There is no need to point out the obvious.

It is only a matter of hours before they are completely out of Kent. 

I do believe I am done writing for today, so until next time, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Departure countdown

Elizabeth is departing for home tomorrow? Oh, how I am filled with such grief! I made a weak attempt to get her to stay a full two months today, but once she refused because daddy wants her home as soon as possible, I made sure to inform her fathers don't care about their daughters because girls cannot inherit an estate. Look at my precious daughter- is her father here? No! Just goes to prove that little Bennet girl incorrect. 

Anyways, I must be off to my chamber in order to awake early enough to... to... oh I won't see her off tomorrow morning. I said my adieus to her tonight. 

Until later, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Meeting with Darcy

My dearest nephew, who is still very distraught over a certain marriage refusal, informed me of a letter he gave to Miss. Elizabeth Bennet. He said the letter contained explanation of  the drama between himself and Wickham, how he did have involvement in keeping Bingley and Jane away from each other, and his apologies.

I still am having trouble comprehending why she turned him away in the first place. She has obviously made it clear that Darcy insulted her and her family because he broke apart Bingley and Jane. However, they had not been together long enough for heartbreak.

I must depart you, fellow reader, for now. Until next time, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Marriage?

My dear nephew, Mr. Darcy, asked Miss. Elizabeth Bennet for her hand in marriage today. Her reply? She declined him because she had already formed a strong opinion of him since some ball a few months back based on one meaningless incident. (Talk about being prejudice!) If that Bennet child had any sense in that head of hers, she would have accepted my immaculate nephew's hand in marriage and ensured the well-being of her family in the horrific event that Mr. Bennet croaks . It is her loss because Darcy will make a fullsome spouse one day. Any girl (besides Lizzy, apparently) would be in high spirits to gain such a man.

Oh, my poor nephew, he now weeps at his loss. Darcy will very easily find a better suited companion, which is saying far more than I can say for Elizabeth. His eventual spouse will have a proper education and will be able to actually play the piano with some skill.

I must allay his troubled heart, but for now, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Post Dinner Drama at Rosings

Oh, dear. Dinner this past evening was not what I had set my expectations for. Unfortunately, because I could not find any better guests, I was forced to spend a slightly less than delightful evening with Mr. and Mrs. Collins and Elizabeth. I suppose the only bright side to the evening was that my dear nephews were on hand for the occasion; however, I was appalled that Fitzwilliam freely gave his attention to Elizabeth for most of the evening. 

Better him than I.

After the meal, the dinner party met in the forte so Elizabeth could keep her promise to Fitzwilliam about playing piano for his entertainment; however, I did not care to fully listen and instead struck up yet another conversation with Darcy. 

Later, I took it upon myself to educate Lizzy about the proper way to perform on the piano. It is not adequate she must suffer with her musical talents just because her mother did not provide proper education for her arts skills.

What truly surprised me tonight was that Darcy could not keep his eyes of Elizabeth! After our conversation was over, he moved closer towards the piano. I am not positive whether it was to hear better, but I do believe he moved closer so he could be closer to her! I must have a conversation with Darcy soon about this.

Until then, the lady has spoken.

-Lady Catherine

Rosy at Rosings?

It brings me great felicity to know that my dearest nephews, Fitzwilliam Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam, are coming to call on me at Rosings soon! I do hope we'll have some interesting guests arrive for Easter dinner. It would be atrocious if I had to entertain Elizabeth Bennet and company from Hunsford to share such a magnificently planned evening. I can tolerate Mr. Collins, because I am his benefactor, but Elizabeth! She is such an imprudent young lady. I hardly see how she will wed one day. All women, in order to seek a proper husband, must be artistically and musically talented. 

I am appalled of the way she was raised. Since Mrs. Bennet opted to not hire a governess, all of the Bennet children have suffered, for they lack musical and artistic talents. It's simply unacceptable!

I shall continue my scriptitation once my nephews have arrived, but untill then, the lady has spoken.
