My time at Hunsford is still quite enjoyable. I am incredibly glad to be in good terms with my dear friend Charolette despite all that has gone on, and am happy to say that our relationship seems to be untainted by her marriage to Mr. Collins. Despite this pleasant turn of events, however, I do have some bad news I must speak of. Mr. Darcy has come to Hunsford and is staying the whole time I am. I find this man to be quite disagreeable, in more ways than one. He is proud, very proud, and thinks far too highly of himself and far too lowly of others. That would be tolerable (to some degree) had he not gone to the trouble of breaking my dear sister's heart. I care very deeply for Jane, and I know she has fallen quite in love with Mr. Bingley, and I even thought that they would be married in the future. However, Mr. Darcy did not seem to approve of this idea, and had done his best to pull the two apart, succeeding in the end.
I know that my dear sister Jane would not want me to linger over this and use this as a reason for me to bear more negative feelings towards him, but I cannot hep but feel this way. I do hope to avoid him during our time here, and sincerely hope he tries to do the same.
