To think...

To think that my young, headstrong daughter with her foolish prejudices would end up marrying the proud and arrogant Mr. Darcy? In all fairness, I think that the paring does them both good. Neither of them seems to be as fool hardy as they were before. Perhaps now they can function without pride or prejudice, not that they have each other.

Standing up

It has come to my attention that Elizabeth has finally given that witch of a woman Lady Catherine what she deserved. Nothing can hurt an arrogant soul such as hers as bad as being stood up to. she thought that she was going to come to Longbourn and simply demand that Lizzie stay away from Darcy? I could have told her how fruitless it is to try and control that child. She might as well have been trying to catch the wind.

Finally!

At last one of my daughters has married a man with whom we can stand to be around! How happy I am to finally have a son-in-law that is not a deadbeat scoundrel. It is finally good to see Jane full of spirits again. I have never seen Mrs. Bennet so happy, yet I have the inclination that jane and her husband will not stay long around Loungbourn. Most likely Mrs.Bennet will drive all of her daughters far away from this place once they are married.

Dinner

Ahh, to see Mr. Bingley at my house again brings hope to my heart. Already he has situated himself near Jane on several occasions. He and I are going shooting tomorrow, and I would not be the least bit surprised if he asked for Jane's hand in marriage. I am confused abut Mr. Darcy's behavior, however, as he did not sit next to Elizabeth, even after all he has apparently done for no other reason than her.

Second chance

I hear that Mr. Bingley and his companion, Mr. Darcy are returning to Netherfield for a while. I see this as a second chance for my two eldest girls. Jane is clearly still in love with Bingley, as she has been lovesick ever since he left. Lizzie, I hope has come to her senses regarding Darcy. It is obvious that he will make another pass at her this time around, I only hope she has the sense enough to oblige this time.

Misery

Now I must endure Lydia and her slime she calls a husband in my house for ten days. I have absolutely nothing to say to either of them. I doubt they will want to spark a conversation either. I cannot thank that Darcy enough for all he has done. There can be only one reason for his actions though. He is obviously still in love with Elizabeth.

Disgust

I still cannot believe I must pay this dog of a man to marry my daughter. He is clever, I will give him that, but that is all I can say for him. And the stupidity of my daughter Lydia has continues to surprise me. As if oblivious to the mess she has started, she inquires for money to buy clothes with. At first I thought she was a little silly, but now I am seriously beginning to question her basic reasoning abilities.
