It seems I was quite wrong in my judgment of Mr. Darcy's opinion of me, quite wrong indeed. The man does not hate me, as I had assumed, but rather...well, he earlier confessed a deep love and admiration towards me. I cannot express in mere words how much this has shocked and displeased me, and cannot even PRETEND to be flattered by this man. As I have stated he is a proud man whom I have no care or like for, and I wish that he had stayed as far away from me as possible. He even told me he wished he could. Oh, the things he told me! How can a man be so open about so many things? He told me himself that he hate the fact he loves me, hates the fact because of his social standing, my social standing, and even my family. He believes them to be strange, even irritating, and had the nerve to say such things to my face. All while attempting to PROPOSE to me! Again, how I wish Jane were here, she'd be able to calm me in an instant...I cannot believe that Mr. Darcy has done such a thing; to propose to me, yet say he does not wish to love me. No words could possibly exist to describe how...how terrible I feel right now. I do wish I had Jane nearby, I deeply crave her tender affection...

Since Jane's "tender affection" is currently unavailable, I happily offer you mine. Let me know if you're interested, Lizzy.
ReplyDeleteMr. Darcy may have a glint of pride, but he is a good man indeed. In the time I have known him, he has strived for the well being of his friends. I find it odd that you would be insulted from his proposal. He obviously has a great admiration for you in which he does not give to many individuals.
ReplyDeleteI think it was worth it to propose to you and you should have accepted. I am a great person, and I now regret having mentioned my social status. You know that I can give you financial security, but you just reject everyone that proposes to you. I cannot see why you didn't marry me.
