Three Daughters Married!

Elizabeth, the daughter I never thought would be married, has just informed me that she will be eloping with the most charming Mr. Darcy. Oh, how everything has changed. Now, when she first told me, I couldn't help but not say anything, for it was the most absurd thing I have ever heard. But then I realized that Mr. Darcy is perfect for her! And what better a man to have in this family, for he was the one who paid for Lydia and Wickham's wedding. I couldn't find him to be any more charming. And not only that, But Elizabeth will be happy with him, and also, he is one of the richest men I have ever been acquainted with. What a lovely time the Bennet family is having! Three of my daughters are married. Wow.

Lady Catherine

Lady Catherine de Bourgh randomly visited our estate today, and I do not have a clue why. However, she treated my family with such disrespect while she refused to eat my prepared meal. It amuses me sometimes how high class some people thing they are, for if you come to my house and ask to dine, you should not complain about what I have prepared. Besides that fact, Lizzy and her seemed to have some conversation outside, but I do not know at all what it was about. Hopefully Lizzy didn't embarrass herself with her naive comments. As usual.

Scheming Schemes

I had the most perfect plan for dinner tonight while Bingley and Darcy were visiting. I worked so hard to get Jane and Mr. Bingley alone, for I even winked at my daughters, trying to allude to the fact that we should leave them in each other's presence. And look what happened! Jane and Mr. Bingley further confessed their love for each other, and will soon be getting married! Oh how lovely that is. ANOTHER DAUGHTER WILL BE MARRIED! Oh goodness, I cannot calm down! 

Successful Dinner

The two gentleman, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, have both just dined with us on this fine evening. Everything seemed to go perfect! The food was magnificent, and it was much better than what we've previously had at the Lucas's. Jane did, too, look absolutely beautiful, for I have never seen her that glowing. Bingley must have been so impressed. I saw such a connection between the two that I could have sworn would have never come back. Everything is looking up it seems!

Criticism

Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy visited today to catch up on our family and what they have missed. I almost forgot what such a gentleman Mr. Bingley is, and I have almost forgiven him for what he did to Jane because it was all Mr. Darcy's fault. Mr. Bingley enjoyed my bragging about Lydia, and I could see he still had some affection for Jane. I do admit I was a bit rude to Mr. Darcy, but how could I not be? He ruined a marriage that would have been perfect, and Jane is so beautiful, so I don't know why he would do that. I seemed to have embarrassed Lizzy and I could not quite tell why, for she doesn't like Mr. Darcy. Or does she? Hmmmmm...

Visit From the Happy Couple

Lydia and Wickham visited today, and my excitement has flourished even more. It is amazing how well everything has been going lately, but I am still upset at Lydia for running off like she did, and I let her know how I felt about it. She replied that we shall come visit her often, and I agreed. Although Lydia finds no harm in what she has done, I am still extremely happy for her. Elizabeth believes Mr. Wickham doesn't like Lydia at all, but all I have to say is who cares? If Lydia hadn't married Wickham, we'd be a family of terrible social status, and who would want that? 

Busy Busy Busy

Now that I have heard of the wonderful news of my daughter Lydia being married soon, I cannot help but plan a perfect wedding for her in my head. I want what is best for my daughter, especially since she is the first of my girls getting married. It's so wonderful! Perhaps Haye Park would be a perfect place to have her wedding, or perhaps the great house at Stoke. Everything is going through my mind! I wouldn't be so busy if my husband wasn't such a drag. He disagrees with everything I say, for he will hardly let Lydia have any new clothes! Who cares about money at this point; my first daughter is getting married for goodness sake!

Oh Happy Days!

Mr. Gardiner has just informed us that the marriage has been settled! Mr. Gardiner has paid off Wickham's debts and my beautiful Lydia will be getting married. FINALLY! one of my daughters will be wed with one of the most handsome men in all of London. I can hardly contain myself! To have her only being married at sixteen is such an accomplishment. How ever so kind of my brother. He has done so much for this family, for it is better to have Lydia married than not being married at all. If that was the case, our family reputation would be ruined. Mrs. Wickham---how lovely it sounds!

Lydia's Letter

We have read the letter that Lydia sent to Mrs. Forster, and the contents put me in no better mood. This whole thing was supposed to be a surprise to us, for she believed we would find it funny when really, we find it the complete opposite. Lydia confessed how she loves Wickham, and how she cannot wait to write her name as "Lydia Wickham". Although that does sound very nice, she has made a huge mistake because both of them have no money. My other daughters are worried sick about Lydia, and Elizabeth couldn't be more disappointed in the thoughtless Lydia. What are we every going to do?

Lydia's Huge Mistake

OH NO! Lydia has run off with a soldier without anyone's permission, and that soldier is Wickham. How dreadful this situation is---Oh! I can hardly stand it, for I am so sadly grieved. It is told that they are to get married, but how will that happen? Both have little money, for they are not able to afford it! With Lydia being only sixteen, this is awful. She is such a young girl and does not know what she is doing yet. Oh how this will ruin the entire fortune of the family! We will be the news of the entire decade, but the news circulating will not be good. This is terrible!

Cocky Caroline Bingley

I have always had some animosity towards Miss Caroline Bingley, and it seems as though Mr. Bingley is beginning to act just like her. I do not appreciate her criticizing my daughter, Elizabeth, behind her back. Elizabeth has more class and more manners than Miss Bingley will ever have. I also do not appreciate Caroline trying to steal Darcy away from Elizabeth when Elizabeth has a far more better chance of marrying him. The nerve that people have these days!

The House Is Quiet Again

Lizzy is gone to Pemberly, and Lydia is off to Brighton with Mrs. Forster. It has become much quieter around the house without my loudest daughter, Lydia. I barely got to spend time with Lizzy, but I hope she is having a good time. Hopefully she doesn't encounter Mr. Darcy, but it is very likely that she will. Oh well, that will bring more news to me when she returns! I do hope Lydia is having a good time flirting with all the soldiers too.

Lydia Will Be Leaving

Lydia has just received the news that she has been invited to Brighton by Mrs. Forster! The good thing about this is that all of the militia will be travelling to Brighton as well. Lydia will for sure find a man that will accompany her for the rest of her life, for there are so many handsome soldiers. I cannot wait to see what happens! But, on the downside, Lizzy's invitation to vacation with the Gardiners has been cancelled because of Mr. Gardiner's working situation. It seems to me that Lizzy is a bit upset, but she is doing a fine job of letting it go. However, she has to visit Pemberly, which she dreads due to the fact that Mr. Darcy might be there. I can't help but feel nervous for her. Let's hope all goes well.

Confessions

Lizzy has informed us about the proposal in Hunsford, for some of us had not figured out. I do feel a great sympathy towards Mr. Darcy for doing what he did, but the way he encountered the situation was awful. He basically forwardly told Elizabeth how she was not rich enough, and she didn't have the best family like his. I find that very offensive, and I believe Lizzy should give him none of her time, for he doesn't deserve it. On the other hand, I still feel so bad for Jane and the situation with Mr. Bingley, but what he did to her was something incredibly awful. And if he came crawling back to her, I would highly advise that she ignore him. He does not deserve the time.

Home Sweet Home

Lizzy and Jane have returned! Our household feels like we are a family again. I have missed them so much, and I was glad to see that they came back all in one piece. Lydia seemed to be very happy at the return, for she went on and on about how they should be married, or should have brought home a  man. I have to agree with Lydia, and I am quite grateful that she takes after me. Something that Lydia also explained to us that Wickham has become no longer interested in Miss King, so that means that young Lizzy may have a chance with another man! Oh how things have been turning out so well. Its great to have everyone home again

Sweet Excitement

Lizzy will be returning home today :) It seems as though I haven't seen her in ages. I don't enjoy when my daughters leave the house to stay somewhere else, but it is all for the experience, and of course, meeting that special someone. When her and Jane return we shall have a great home-cooked meal to discuss the adventures of both Elizabeth and Jane. I can't wait!

Coming Home

I am so incredibly excited, for my two lovely daughters, Jane and Elizabeth, are coming home very soon. I cannot wait to hear their gossip and news about their adventures they have had. Jane will have much to tell me, but Elizabeth will be shy about her adventures and most likely not care unless she has something very important to discuss, like the proposing to her of Mr. Darcy! I am so excited to see my beautiful daughters and it will be so nice to have the whole family at home again.

Proposal

It appears to me that the lovely Mr. Darcy has proposed to my Elizabeth. But, of course, Lizzy has refused due to the lack of character Mr. Darcy had portrayed while proposing. If only Lizzy looked at the big picture and didn't constantly think about love, she would be happily married right now, and she would be at the top of the social class. Who will ever teach her to behave like a normal woman?

Travelling Thoughts

Lizzy and Jane have been gone for quite some time now. The house has been very quiet, and I have been less busy with two of my daughters gone away. We dearly miss them here at home, especially Lydia. She can't wait for the girls to come home to share their new gossip of the adventures they've had. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them came back engaged, for they have been gone so long. It would be a great sight for me to see my daughters with a lovely man in their life whom consists of great fortune and wealth. Oh how lovely it would be to hear gossip about my very own daughters and how astounding they are! Poor Jane. She was simply rejected by the awful Charles Bingley. Hopefully she will come home with a new man that she can boast about to everyone, for it would not be annoying to me. Let's hope all goes well.

Word On The Street

My darling Elizabeth is out visiting her good friend Charlotte and her lovely husband, Mr. Collins. Word on the street is that a day after my daughter arrived, the lovely, handsome, and extremely rich Mr. Darcy came for a visit. My guess is that he is in love with Elizabeth! I mean, why else would he come to Hunsford? Him and my Lizzy have always had a connection between eachother, they just allude to the fact that it's true. Oh! How lovely it would be if they were to marry. He is so wealthy and of good fortune; My Elizabeth would be the news of the entire decade!
