HE POPPED THE QUESTION!

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:31:55 -0400

JANE IS MY FAVORITE DAUGHTER!!! Bingley finally proposed! He got her alone after a day of shooting with Mr. Bennet and told her that he wanted to marry her! I knew this day would come and I could not be happier for the two of them. Not only did she find a man, but she found a fine, young, wealthy, gentleman! Also, because of this lovely engagement everyone in the neighborhood has forgotten about the Lydia and Wickham issue and they are now ecstatic over this amazing news. It has truly been a great day.

It keeps getting better!

Not only is Lydia married, but Mr. Bingley has returned! He came to visit today and I did every I could to make him feel welcomed! Oh how great it would be if I could get him to marry Jane! He came for the dinner and sat right next to Jane! He seemed to be quite taken with her too. This is lovely! Then he visited again so we invited him for dinner and he accepted a dinner invitation for the next day. He must have been excited to come too because he came over so early the girls were not even dressed yet! That day I tried to leave to two alone so he could propose to her, but alas he did not. I was upset but I hoped he was waiting for a different time to ask her…

MY FIRST DAUGHTER IS MARRIED!!!!!

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:09:00 -0400

I AM SO HAPPY NOW! LYDIA IS FINALLY MARRIED! My brother informed us in a letter that he found Lydia and Mr. Wickham and Mr. Wickham would marry Lydia if given a payment. The two will be visiting and staying in our home before they leave to travel up north. I cannot wait to see the newlyweds and plan a celebration for them! I am so happy and relieved to finally have a daughter who is married!! Lydia is by far my favorite daughter now! I finally have a place to live when I am older!

Not only has Lady Catherine criticized my parenting, but now Mr. Collins is too! I absolutely cannot believe it. He wrote us a letter saying that our parenting is poor, Lydia is unworthy of our love, and that her poor behavior reflects upon us. I am outraged by what he said.

We received another letter which informed us that the look for Lydia and Wickham has ultimately failed so far and that my husband is on his way home.

My husband and my brother have traveled to look for Lydia and Mr. Wickham and I sure hope they are...

My husband and my brother have traveled to look for Lydia and Mr. Wickham and I sure hope they are able to find them, if they cannot I do not even know what I will do!

I Cannot Believe Ears!!

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:35:46 -0400

It has just been brought to my attention that Lydia has run of with Wickham and possibly eloped! What does she think she is doing?? Does she not realize the affect her actions will have on her sisters, and me!! This is an embarrassment to our family. If she has not yet married Wickham, and if she has not made any plans to marry him then this is affecting her as well. She will have a very hard time finding a man to marry her after she has pulled this stunt. This is all she will be known for, running off with a guy! Also, she will make it hard for her sisters to marry (as if it has not been hard enough!) because no one will want to marry into a family with a lady like her. Finally, since none of my daughters will marry I will have no where to live in my old life. I also believe Colonel Forster is to blame as well! If he had kept a closer eye on Lydia none of this would have happened. I absolutely cannot deal with this right now!

Lizzy has finally returned from visiting Mr. Collins and Charlotte! I am very pleased because I did not want her to be with Lady Catherine any longer; I still cannot get over what she said! Anyway, now Lydia will not be leaving. She was invited to visit Brighton by the wife of a Colonel Forster. This sounds like a lot of fun for her, and it gets better! She will be accompanied by many young men on this trip, which could mean a husband!! I sure do hope so! I know many of you may think this could be a terrible idea to have my young girl travel with many young men but my husband assures me that the colonel will keep her out of trouble. I sure do hope she comes out of this with a potential husband! I need my daughters to marry, I mean where else will I go when my husband dies?!

How Dare She

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:07:02 -0400

After listening to Mr. Collins go on and on about how lovely Lady Catherine is I expected her to live up to what he said, but she did not. I was furious after hearing about what she said about me! I clearly got the wrong impression of her. It turns out she believes I am a failure as a mother. I failed to hire a governess to teach my daughters how to act as ladies and to teach them how to play the piano. Who is she to judge? I did not hire a governess because I am enough of a lady to be able to teach my daughters how to act as proper ladies! She would only need one because clearly she is not enough of a lady to complete the task properly! I am shocked that she would say such a thing and I believe I did a rather good job of raising my daughters.

A New Man?!

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:01:35 -0400

A new man has been thrown into the mix for Miss Elizabeth. What is that now, three men? His name is Mr. Wickham and he is an official of the army unit. I am not sure how I feel about this either, a lot of confused feelings present at the moment! I am not that informed as to who he is, what kind of man he is, and everything else I would need to know to form an accurate opinion of him. One thing I do know though is that he has little money therefore little status. If she were to pursue him it would be another embarrassment to the family due to her actions. She cannot do that to us again!

Mixed Feelings

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:51:28 -0400

Elizabeth has just promised Charlotte that she would pay her a visit at her new home with her husband, Mr. Collins. I am not sure how I feel about this, after all Mr. Collins did propose to Elizabeth first!

Sorrow...

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:48:17 -0400

Sadness has overcome the household, it is almost unbearable. I am still angry at Elizabeth for turning down Mr. Collins’ offer. Never in my life have I ever been this embarrassed! Elizabeth has seemed a little blue as well, I am not sure why though. I will definitely have to figure that out though, without letting my guard down of course. Finally, Jane is rather upset as well over the Bingley drama. Caroline Bingley wrote a letter saying not only is Bingley not returning for some time, but he seems to be quite taken with another girl. It was said to be Mr. Darcy’s sister, Georgiana. This made her feel even worse because her marriage to Mr. Bingley seems to be a hopeless cause at this moment. I feel so bad for my poor Jane. How could a beautiful girl like her have this many problems plus a load of stress! Life should be easy for a pretty girl like her! All I know is that I am wiped out from scouring for husbands, but nothing will stop me! I am going to continue on this mission, and luckily for me and Jane, Jane will be staying with my brother, Mr. Gardiner. This will give me a bit of a break from her and it could benefit Jane in one of two ways. Either, she will completely clear her mind from the situation at hand with Mr. Bingley, or she will be able to meet with him again. Hopefully, if they meet he realizes she is truly the girl for him! But, if she is unable to see Mr. Bingley maybe she will meet another man whom she will come to fancy. It should not be hard for her, after all she is my prettiest daughter!
