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.

Lady Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for allowing me to come to Rosings. I hope to come more often. You have a beautiful house. I wish you the best of health every day.
Elizabeth,
DeleteTo me, I suppose, it was my pleasure. You are welcome to Rosings again soon I hope? Maybe we will have the pleasure of hearing you play on the housekeeper's piano again. I wish you well.

Dear Lady Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI know you are going to be terribly disappointed in me, and quite frankly, I am disappointed too. But for some reason that isn't clear to me, I am in love with Elizabeth. I know she comes from an unworthy family, and her social class is unacceptable, but something about her draws me in. I can't keep my eyes off of her. For some reason, I am infatuated with Elizabeth, and I can't say that I'm proud of it. You are my aunt, and I love you dearly, but please try to the reduce the humiliation and embarrassment you cause me when Elizabeth is in our presence.
Yours Truly,
Mr. Darcy
