Proposal

I must say I am by no means shocked by how Elizabeth treated the situation. At the perfectly improper time she acted completely inappropriate. I understand that Mr. Darcy had hurt her a great deal, or at least her pride. I understand that he was responsible for the failure of the union between Jane and Mr. Bingley. I understand that she is partial to her friend Wickham and his misfortunes. But she needs to think with her head! I would be the first in line to allow her to follow her own path, but there is a fine line between refusing a proposal that disgusts her, and embarrassing and insulting one of the proudest men in England. If she truly want happiness for her sister, Bingley will be involved. If Bingley is involved, then so is Darcy. One of their prides is going to have to break, if not both.
