Jane and Elizabeth Discuss the Details of my Proposal
I found myself feeling oddly better when Jane and Lizzy discussed the events following to and proceeding the proposal of my hand in marriage. I still find my pride to be greatly wounded, but it prongs pleasure to myself that Lizzy is feeling upset about her treatment of me. I am also relieved that Jane now realizes the true extent of Wickham's actions towards me. I also find it relieving that Elizabeth will not inform anybody on the contents of my letter. I would not want her to be the one that expose him for the monster that he really is. The letter did its purpose of changing Lizzy's mind about me, and I can be content knowing that she may live with regrets after treating me so ill.

In my opinion, i feel these two girls were wrong to gossip about you behind your back; They obviously havn't been paying attention to church on sunday. Even though they were being naughty by gossiping, they do have the right idea that Mr. Wickham was horrid to you, and that you are a good man......(Elizabeth should have accepted your proposal)
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of me, Lizzy will never disclose that letter to anyone else. I am shocked by what I read about Wickham. Did he really try to elope with your sister? I do not mean to question your words but I am having a difficult time understanding how he could do such a thing. I agree with your decision not to reveal his character. If he wants to change, then we shouldn't ruin his chances.
