Oh... great.

Who would have thought! My own Lydia and that lying Wickham. Well, I suppose there isn't much I can do now. None of my daughters listen to me much anymore. I believe that if they do get married it won't be such a bad thing, and Wickham may make a good addition to our family.

The Always Spiteful Miss Bingley

She's back. Miss Bingley has arrived at Pemberley with her family. It seems that this visit consists of nothing but rather rude comments from Bingley's sister. She seems to really enjoy putting down my Elizabeth. Of course, she is so strong willed. Bring it on!

Surprise, surprise!

Speak of the devil! Mr. Darcy has arrived at Pemberley! He appears to be preparing his home for guests. Might I conjecture the presence of the Bingley's? Oh it is too easy. His manners seem to have been very good, even towards Elizabeth. This could be another turning point for her feelings towards him.

New Opinions

On Lizzy's tour of Pemberley, she is surprised to hear certain things about Mr. Darcy that no one expected really. Apparently, he was an extremely kind child. In addition, his housekeeper has only nice things to say about him. This is news to us all I would say. I am sure that Elizabeth is starting to think a little bit more about being with this man.

Not Very Mature

Elizabeth is currently on a tour of the countryside with the Gardiners. I believe this to be a very good outing for her indeed. However, because her travels bring her close to Mr. Darcy's manor, she agrees to go on a tour of the estate. I would be proud of this, for it showed character to visit someone whom you do not exactly agree with, but the reason she is allowing this is simply because Mr. Darcy is believed to not be present. She should go whether he is there or not I believe, as to show some independence.

Typical

The last weeks here at Longbourn have been no more and no less than orthodox. Lydia still will not keep her mouth shut about going to Meryton to visit the officers. In addition, I am hearing nothing but talk of drama from the elder girls, talking about this man Wickham and how he is indeed a fraud. Then, the worst part is, my wife is still practically in tears about the loss of Mr. Bingley for Jane. I live with crybabies.

Teenage Girls These Days

Well, it looks like the regiment that my youngest girls obsess over is to go to Brighton for the summer. Normally I would not give a hoot; but now, Catherine and Lydia believe it is in our interest for follow them there. The summer months can be a bore, so there's a chance I would enjoy that. Nevertheless, I am not much into leaving  my home and doing anything exciting. Those silly girls will be on the subject forever.

Comical Information

Today, Elizabeth left the estate of Lady Catherine. But before she could do so, a conversation first took place between her and Mr. Collins. Supposedly he was thanking Elizabeth for being so accommodating. Thereafter, he proceeded to tell Elizabeth how happy him and Charlotte are. I suppose this could be the case, but honestly, those two buffoons will probably never find true happiness in each other.

Finally, A Definitive Conclusion

There will be no more questions or doubts in my mind. I am now sure of how this mysterious Mr. Darcy feels for  my daughter. Earlier today, he came by and in a surprising turn of events, declared his love for Elizabeth. Not only that, but asked for her hand in marriage. My Lizzy is an indifferent one though, and her refusal does not surprise me in the least, considering her complaints about the man. I however see a glint of good in him, he may just be misunderstood.

The Truth Comes Out?

I seem to have recently heard a new reason as to Mr. Bingley's decision to leave. Colonel Fitzwilliam has brought us the knowledge that Mr. Darcy's influenced Bingley's choice heavily, and apparently stopped an "imprudent marriage". Elizabeth seems to think that the "imprudent marriage" was the pending one of Jane and Mr. Bingley. I believe that this would only make sense, as Mr. Darcy seems to want nothing to do with our family.

An Unlikely Interest

I have noticed that Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam have called rather often in the past few weeks. If my suspicions are correct, Mr. Darcy has taken a seemingly unlikely interest in my daughter, Elizabeth. The things I had overheard about him from angry (and may I mention loud) conversations would lead me to think that this man felt quite differently than what I am seeing. There are small hints that point me in this direction, one being how much he comes around. Nevertheless, I wonder what Charlotte believes?

She Isn't That Bad...

I heard from an annoyed daughter of mine that Lady Catherine kept her on the piano all night. Apparently she was not playing correctly. I do not believe that her skills on the pianoforte are that horrid, but I must admit that the musical skills in my family are nothing more than adequate. Maybe it would be a good investment of my time to teach my children to better make music. Or, I could not and further amuse myself at the hilarity of their music-making abilities. Yes, I think I'll do that.
