Mr. Bingley's return

Mr. Bingley is coming to visit and I am so distressed. I have not seen him in several months. Elizabeth is also very uneasy because Mr. Bingley is also bringing Darcey with him. Elizabeth and I are both a huge bundle of nerves at this point. I am glad we can be nervous together though. I really hope that Bingley and I can get back together, and I will be devestated if he has gotten over me. When I see him, I will tell him exactly how I feel, and hopefully that can be enough to win him back.

Unenthusiastic Wickham

Wickham and Lydia visited today and it seems to me that Wickham is not nearly as interested in Lydia as she is to him. Lydia is constantely giving him affection, while he often completely disregards her. He seems awfully unenthusiastic for someone planning to get married. I have this overcoming feeling that Wickham is up to something. I want to tell someone about this, but I also want to give him the benfit of the doubt. I feel in my gut that he is up to no good, but at the same time, I do not want to be impolite. What is the right thing to do?

Safe and found

Our family has recently acquired a letter from Mr.Gardiner stating that Lydia has been found and is completely safe. I am entirely overjoyed and my heartbeat has dropped signifacantly. I am at rest now and I am also content, but there is something else stated in the letter that sent my mothers hear back into a flutter. Apparently after running away and causing so much drama, Lydia and Wickham are infact, not marrying. Although I do feel quite embarrassed by this whole fiasco, I am secretly pleased that Lydia is not marrying that man, according to rumors, he is nothing but trouble. My mother feels very differently though. In her mind, if anything positive could possibly come out of this, it would be one of her lovely daughters getting married. But, that did not happen, so she is pretty angry. Everyone in the family is giving her space today and keeping their distance so she does not become even more livid than she already is. Sometimes it feels like I am walking on egg shells around her.

The search continues

My beloved sister Lydia is no where to be found and the entire family is frightened. In the desperate hope of finding Wickham and Lydia, my father and Mr. Gardiner are rapidly searching nearby hotels. It is extremely troublesome to have not a single notion of where they may be. Our family obtained a letter from Mr. Collins the other day expressing his greatest gratitude to Elizabeth for declining his proposal, for he considers himself lucky that he did not marry a Bennet, because now our family name is apparently soiled. Although, to be honest, I do not care about that letter at this moment, I just want Lydia to be found.

Lydia and Wickham!?

Lydia is marrying Wickham!? Oh my, this all my fault. I was told that Wickham was a bad man, but I kept it to myself and told no one. Now he is using my darling sister for only god knows what. All of us in Longbourn are apprehensive and fretful. Wickham and Lydia have ran away together and absolutely no one knows where they have gone or what they are doing. I wish for everything to be alright and I honestly hope that my paranoia is for nothing. I pray that Lydia comes to her scenses and arrives home to us shortly. She is just so young and I really do not want her getting hurt.

Caroline's interference

My poor sister Elizabeth has been under a tremendous amout of stress and pressure. She has just written me stateing that she has not been getting along with hardely anyone, especially Caroline. I understand that Caroline is jealous of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcey's relationship, but that gives her no right to treat my sister poorly. Elizabeth is a very strong woman though, and I believe that she can hadle this situation with class and poise. Good luck Elizabeth, because you surley need it.

My sister is in love!

My beloved Elizabeth, please pardon me for what I am about to announce to the world. I have a secret that I have been keeping for what seems to be a century. It has come to my attension that you are in love with none other than Mr.Darcey. I have recently recieved a letter from you stateing that you can actually invision yourself marrying him! Mr.Darcey had asked you if you would meet his sister, Georgiana. Is it me, or is this going somewhere? I believe that this is this first step that you are taking towards a never ending love. This news fills my heart with joy and I wish you the best, Elizabeth. I truely hope for you and Darcey could find love one day, because you both deserve it.

Marriage issues?

My dearest parents, after several years of marriage, are now fially coming to the realization that they are not satisfied with each other. My father has told me that  my mother is very foolish, but I thought my father knew that when they got married. My mother believes that my father is very disrespectful, but has he not always been that way? It dissapoints me that they are having problems, but my sister Elizabeth is extremely infuriated. She has extremely high expectations of marriage, and she is very ashamed that not even her own parents meet those expectations.We have always known that neither of our parents were really romantic, but why our all these feelings being brought to the surface at this point?

Brighton

My beloved sister Lydia had received an invitation to go with the regiment to Brighton the other day. I am genuinely delighted that my sister has aquired such an amazing opportunity. I truely believe that she deserves such an honor, although some of do not think so. Elizabeth is rightfully concerned that Lydia could possibly soil the family name. I am aware of the fact that Lydia can be occasionally over bearing, Elizabeth, but you must have faith in her. Like father said, it is much better for Lydia to make her own mistakes. I do wish Lydia the best in Brighton, and I pray that she can prove us all wrong.

Complicated love

I am so extrordinarily baffled at this moment. Elizabeth is very puzzling and I can not keep up with her. At first, her and Darcey were mortal enemies; the only words they spoke to one another were words of hatred. Months later, Darcey supposedly fell in love with Elizabeth, while Elizabeth still disliked him. Currently, Elizabeth has reconsidered everything and is falling for Darcey! Love is insane, but I must admit that I am very joyful hearing this news. Do not tell a soul, but I secretly hope that they will marry one day. Elizabeth and Darcey, I have noticed, are unbelievably similar. Perhaps if Bingley and I were more intense and complicated we would have lasted.Who knows, and who really cares, all I know is that someone is in love and her name starts with El and ends with izabeth.

Distressed by Lydia

I have just settled into Longbourn and I feel exceptionally content. I am so over joyed to reunite with my family again. Although, something has been hassling me the last couple of days. I have recently noticed that Lydia fancys extravagant things, and she essentially abuses her wealth. I am fearful that my beloved sister will soon develope into what some may consider to be "a gold digger". Lydia loves to be spoiled and she absolutely adores buying lavish items. This is not a huge delema becuase us women are supposed to be spoiled by our men, but I do wish that Lydia would spare her future husband's poor wallet. I love my sister unconditonally, but I really do wish that she was less dependent on money.

Returning home

I am very pleased to announce that I shall be returning home to my dear family and friends shortly. I must say I adore everyone here in London and the Gardiners have been treating me ever so fairly, but I miss my family profoundly. My sisters, particularly Elizabeth, have not been able to escape my thoughts since I have arrived in London. Elizabeth and I have kept in touch only by letters, and now I finally get to see her in person! I am only hours away from Longbourn and I am so overjoyed and delighted.

Darcey's destruction

I am overwhelmingly upset at this moment. I have just obtained a letter from my dearest sister Elizabeth stateing that Darcey is the cause of Bingley and I's separation. I have gone through many tretourous days believeing that Bingley was at fault for breaking my heart, but I have now found out that is not the case. From my understanding, Darcey advised Bingley to cut ties with me because he believed that I would break his heart. I was very shy, and I did not want to get hurt myself, so I gave him little affection. However, I did, and still do, love Bingley dearly. Darcey's actions saden me, but I can understand his reasoning: he was trying to protect Bingley. I respect this and I forgive Darcey, although this is still hard to handle. Reading this letter brought back many unwanted feelings, but I know that I will get through this, just like I did the first time. -Jane

Darcey Proposed?

I am astonished to hear the news that Mr. Darcey has proposed to my dearest sister Elizabeth. Just moments ago I was completely convinced that both Elizabeth and Darcey had a mutual disgust for each other...but then this news was brought to my attension. I have just recieved a letter stateing that Mr.Darcey had recently confessed his mad love for Elizabeth. This is very hard to digest, but what is nearly impossible to understand is why Elizabeth would decline his offer. Sure, Darcey is a bit cold and distant, but he is very handsome and wealthy, which is more than what most of us ask for. Elizabeth is very difficult and this may be one of the biggest mistakes of her life, but I do wish that one day she finds what she is looking for in a man... whatever that may be. -Jane

Missing Bingley

I am here in London on a stormy, dull afternoon. The Gardiner's have been treating me fairly and I absolutely love it here, although there is one thing that has been disturbing my thoughts recently; this would be my longing to be with Bingley. I miss Bingley so much and I have many regrets regarding our relationship. I truely wish that I could have been more affectionate while I could. If I could have told him how I felt while I still had him with me, I know that things would be different. But now I am sitting here all alone with my thoughts thinking about what could have been...I miss you Bingley. -Jane

I feel your pain, Elizabeth

I have recently received a letter from my dear sister Elizabeth, and it seems to me as if her and Lady Catherine have not been getting along all too well. I have been told that Lady Catherine is actually very judgemental and prejudice, which is extremely disheartening. I have heard that Lady Catherine has been mocking our family and giving my poor sister so much trouble. Although there is a possibility that Lady Catherine may just be missunderstood, I am also very sad to hear this and if you are reading this,Elizabeth, please know that I do feel your pain - Jane
