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.

Hello Lady Catherine. I'm sorry to hear that your dinner wasn't what you expected it to be; but it must have been a delightful one nevertheless. I'm also sad to hear so many negative comments concerning my sister, Lizzy. She's a wonderful person, but I do have to agree we sisters all lack proper education in our art skills.

Oh Lady Catherine, why I am sure that while a night with my Mr. and Mrs. Collins is quite horrible, I must disagree with you on the case of Elizabeth. In fact, I believe that she was dreading such a night with you too. Of course that may not be that case, but it does not seem an unlikely one. As far as the comment about Mr. Darcy, I believe you must be mistaken, for all previous indications show that Darcy himself has insulted poor Elizabeth in more than one way.
ReplyDeleteYou should not have demeaned Elizabeth by talking about the piano. She was a guest in your house and you should have allowed her to play. I do enjoy her company, but that is not your problem. I am not that concerned as to whether she has a ton of money. She is a nice person and I might even marry her.
