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.

Dear Lady Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI give you my sincerest apologies for offending you. Because you are at such high superiority, perhaps you cannot comprehend the hurt that I have undergone. Myself and my family have been insulted by your nephew. Although he is most definitely a suitable companion that any woman would cherish, his pride is unbearable. I am unsure as to whether I can love a man who broke my sister's heart. I hope you can understand.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Bennet
I am also perplexed at why my daughter would deny Mr. Darcy's proposal. Furthermore, I do also wish that she would have accepted. However, you do not have the right to speak of my daughter in such a belittling manner. Young Lizzy does have sense. Although she may be young and inexperienced, she is strong, intelligent, and rational. Who are you anyway to speak poorly of my daughter?
ReplyDeletei must admit i was not shocked at Elizabeth's decision. i truly feel remorse for my friend Darcy, but perhaps if he had not come off to pridefull to begin with , Elizbeths decision may have been different.i would also like it if you may not speak so illy of Elizabeth Lady Catherine for i find her very agreeable. i believe Elizabeth to be well-natured and perhaps if you knew her better you would not speak so poorly of her.
ReplyDeleteOffending you was not what i meant to do by denying your nephew. but i must say that it is not to your concern to worry about my decision. the truth is that your nephew is to prideful and what he did at the ball had nothing to do with my decision.It was his decision of getting between my sister Jane and Mr. Bingley which broke her heart greatly.
