Lydia and Wickham, growing Unpleasant

We are married, and a new estate awaits us. I have purchased it and take visitors quite often. The visiting of Lydia and Wickham, is possibly becoming an event too often occurring. I do say, even I am growing impatient with the two of them, and I believe their relationship to be built and everything excluding love. It is sad to see a now sister of mine be taken advantage of as so, but she chose that life. I am loving my life, and growing deeper in love with my dearest.  

Good Luck to Darcy and Elizabeth

Yes, it is ture, my dear friend plans to marry Ms. Elizabeth Bennet. Though it was difficult to accept, my dear Jane has learned of Elizabeth’s love for the man. Darcy went as far as to ask Mr. Bennet himself. Their love has grown, and it is been formed into a beautiful thing. I wish nothing but the best of luck for the two of them.

Oh, Lady Catherine

It has been a week, and I could not be happier. Jane and I are finally engaged. Jane has told me of the visit by Lady Catherine. In a private engagement between Elizabeth and Lady Catherine, Lady Catherine tells Lizzy that Darcy is planning to marry her. Clearly, there is something going on in the love triangle, but one thing is for certain – my dear friend Darcy loves no one more than Elizabeth Bennet.

To the Bennet's

Darcy and I have recently visited the Bennet’s for dinner, and I must say I did enjoy the engagement. Sitting next to Jane, getting lost in her beauty, reminded me why I am in love with her. Later on in the week, I made another trip to their house alone. Eventually, I found myself alone with Jane, my dearest. This is where I became the happiest man alive. Jane accepted my hand, and I look forward to our life together.

My Return

For a couple weeks, yes, I will return to Netherfield Park. Although I know the Bennets remain uncomfortable with my presence, I hope to possible patch up old wounds. After three long days, I could not wait any longer – so I made my journey to their residence with Mr. Darcy. I will admit I was indeed rude to Mr. Darcy. Even so, before departing, we promised the Bennets we will attend a dinner as Longbourn.

Empathy For Mr. Bennet

I am sorry to hear Mr. Bennet is feeling such pain brought to him through the past events. He surely wished he could have had a son; his current problems would likely not exist. On the contrary, I imagine Mrs. Bennet is feeling a bit the opposite. Her hopes have finally been realized, as one of her daughters – even through a shady scam of her lover, Wickham – is getting married. Even so, I believe the smoke will soon clear.

Wickham's Genius

It has been brought to my attention that Lydia is indeed found. This is glorious news, although I imagine there remain feelings of desertion and anger among the Bennet family. It is troubling to see the mastermind of Wickham performing so well. It as if he plotted this entire thing for money. He requested money from Mr. Bennet to pay for his and Lydia's wedding, as well as his debts to my dearest friend, Darcy.

A Note on Lydia

I have been informed that the search for Lydia and Wickham is thus far unsuccessful. Although Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner have attempted to investigate all the hotels in town, London is an easy hiding place, as there are far more people there than here. Mr. Bennet should not fully blame himself, for it was not entirely his fault. I have not met young Lydia more than a few short moments, but I am aware of her mischievous character. I hope all goes well in their searches for her.

Unmarried Sister Spite

My sister continues to spite Elizabeth. She refuses to face an unpleasant truth: Darcy will only ever love Elizabeth, and not her. Even so, my friend has told me, her tactics do not seem to have a lasting effect on Darcy. He told me what he told my sister, saying Miss Elizabeth is “one of the handsomest women” of his acquaintance. I imagine my unmarried sister did not take this comment well, and even though I want love for her, I do not wish for her to destroy the love of others.

My Sisters at Pemberley

My sisters have informed me of the recent events at Pemberley with Elizabeth, Darcy, and Mrs. Gardiner. They were both there when Darcy arrived. I imagine this brought an awkward silence among the group. My unmarried sister seems to continue her spite toward Elizabeth, and she told me (laughing) that the militia departure was a “great loss” for the Bennet family. I have tried to teach her to love, instead of hate, but she refuses to listen. My apologies go out to Miss Elizabeth.

Derbyshire Countryside

I have received knowledge that Elizabeth has gone with the Gardiners on a tour to the Derbyshire countryside. Along the way, they traveled close to the manor of my dear friend. Fortunately for Elizabeth and unfortunately for Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy is not there to see them. I so wish we could travel back in time and change our relationships with the Bennet daughters. I miss Jane and I think of her always. I only hope that things will have a way of working out – but I need the help of fate, indeed.

Wickham/Elizabeth Encounter

Again, I was not personally there to witness the event, but I have heard of Elizabeth’s encounter with Wickham. She avoided mentioning anything regarding her newly acquired information on the man. Although they do speak of my dear friend, they do so briefly and restrictedly . . . .  This event not so hard to learn about, the soldiers have left for Brighton, and Kitty is envious of her sister – whom is allowed to follow the men. Trouble is inevitable for young Lydia – lets hope she makes it out of town first.

Secrets Revealed

I have heard, yes, of my lovely Jane; however, it is not in the usual uplifting sense. She is now aware of whom Wickham truly is, and was apparently debating to expose the man. I imagine Mrs. Bennet is still lecturing her about her loss of me in marriage. I should not have put her in this position, as it is my doing that has caused her misery, not her own. I have also heard that Lydia is to spend the summer in Brighton – even with the company of Colonel Forster, I imagine she will create some mischief.

Bennet’s Return

Though I was not personally at the past dinner between the Bennets and Lucas Family, I have heard a great deal about the event. Apparently Lydia could not keep her mouth shut long enough even to chew her food politely. That young girl worries me. She is constantly ranting on about officers and soldiers and such, it will be a miracle if she does not indeed end up with one. Some tension between Wickham and Elizabeth remains – I imagine – as she refuses the offered trip by Lydia to avoid seeing the man.

Missing Jane

I have so missed dear Jane these past few days especially. I have been notified of her return home and all I seem to see anymore is her smiling face. I looked in the sky and the clouds teased me – forming her silhouette in some sections of the sky, and her lovely face in others. I am glad too that she is not like her soldier-infatuated sister. Speaking of, Lydia has announced the leaving of Miss King to Liverpool and an opening in Wickham’s heart.  

Collins and Charlotte

I have heard many exciting things recently regarding my dear friend Mr. Darcy as well as the new marriage involving Collins and Charlotte. I have also been informed of an encounter between Elizabeth and Mr. Collins. I know little about Charlotte and her relationship with Mr. Collins; however, I do not think it is love that has brought them together. Apparently Collins preaches how they were meant to be together – which cannot seem further from reality. Again, I try my best to avoid such drama, so I remain neutral on the topic. 

Darcy's Irony

It so pains me to realize that after Darcy has advised me not to marry into the Bennet family, he has attempted to do so himself. However, it brings light to my very eyes to see him accept the power of love and its affect on two people. It is now that I can return to Jane and nurse our wounded relationship back to health. The wealth and behavior of morals may be a harmful factor in the Bennet family, but it should be made clear that there are exceptions to these actions. Jane and Elizabeth Bennet are not their mother.. or their other sisters.

Who is Mrs. Gardiner?

I have not yet been so lucky as to have met Mrs. Gardiner, whom I have only heard positive things about. It is my understanding that she seems to be the voice of reason among us. She is motherly and smart, and although I have not made her acquaintance, I can already trust her opinion. As a close friend of Mr. Darcy, I am aware of the truth behind Wickham, and support Mrs. Gardiner's input to Elizabeth. Elizabeth should know that looking at an apple from more than one angle can lead to the discovery of a worm hole.

The Proposal of a Dearest Friend

Today I was given word that Darcy has declared his love for Elizabeth through a proposal that was immediately shattered by Elizabeth herself. Just recently, Darcy has advised me to remove my love for Jane due to insuperable conditions of her family with the exception of this woman. It is now that I understand why, but also a shock to me that he would do the very thing he advised me not to. It is also now that I know he understands the power love can have on someone... on two people.

A Little Bird

Friends, it has been brought to my attention by the eloquent, fluttering wings of a little bird that Colonel Fitzwilliam has so taken an interest in Elizabeth Bennet. The thought of love, in any scenario truly warms my body and I think of Jane. I would so have liked Jane to have been invited to such a dinner, as in truth, it pains me to be apart from Jane. I so miss her smile, and wonderful, wavy locks. Love is a wonderful thing, it can warm the soul and strengthen the mind. Today my soul needs a blanket, and my mind a workout.
