Weddings Squared

I am delighted to announce the engagement of Mr. Darcy and Lizzy. Next to Charles and myself, I'm sure they will be the most happy couple. I was astonished when I first heard the news but now understand how deep their relationship is. I'm ashamed to have ever doubted their love. It is truly wonderful that now we shall all be family. I'm sure the futures hold many great memories for all of us.

Lizzy Deserves Better

We recently had the honor of receiving Lady Catherine at Longbourn. Lizzy was rather quiet about why she visited but Lizzy seems a little shaken. It is probably from being in the company of a woman with such an elevated social rank. I know that I would not have known how to handle myself. I suppose I will have to learn though, being Mr. Bingley's wife.

Engagement

The most joyful thing has happened. My sister, Lizzy, was correct. Mr Bingley does love me! He proposed only hours ago! I feel a kind of happiness that I have never before experienced. We will certainly be the happiest couple in all of England. He is the most wonderful man I have even known.

Lizzy's Lost Sense

My dear sister doubts me. She believes that I might still have feelings for Mr. Bingley. We may have once been close friends, but I doubt that we shall ever be more. Additionally, she thinks he may have feelings for me. I find this impossible to believe since he never bothered to see me in London. If he has been interested, he would have never left.

Bingley's Coming

I have heard a rumor that the man who once inhabited Netherfield is returning. I'm so flustered I can hardly say Mr. Bingley's name without becoming quite nervous. It has been quite a long time since I last saw him. I must have been wrong to think that I'm over him. When he comes, I will not show any signs of this though. His feelings have probably changed and I don't want to embaraass myself.

Lydia's Return

My sister returned with her new husband, Mr. Wickham. Luckily, they seem happy together. She can not sing his praise enough although almost everyone else, especially Lizzy, has grown tired of it. My mother is the exception. She has Lydia tell the story almost every meal. Now, Lydia feels entitled to all of our mothers affection because she has married before me.

Family Affair

I have been avoiding mirrors lately. When my sister returned home, she remarked on how ghostly I looked. I must admit that caring for my mother has taken away much of my energy. Kitty and Mary seem indifferent about the whole matter, but my parents are in an uproar. My father has never been so ashamed.
