On Elizabeth's Return Home
My opinion about the younger Bennet sister's being unruly was proved when Elizabeth's party arrived in Hertfordshire. The entire time the youngest daughter, Lydia, kept going on about the soldiers. She hardly listened to a word that came out of either of her sisters' mouth. She has begun to remind me of a much younger Mrs. Bennet. How could Elizabeth expect me to want to marry somebody with relatives as atrocious as that. When I spoke my mind to her about her family during my proposal, I hope she began to understand how terrible an effect her relatives have on her entire life.

I realize that my family is not of your class or the least bit couth for that matter, but it is not your place to talk of my sisters in such a manner. And I believe that you did want to marry "somebody with relatives as atrocious as that"-me. Why should my relatives have an effect on your life, for I do not remember a time in which my family burdened yours. However, that is how you must have percieved it when you broke up your dearest friend's and my dearest sister's romance.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Ms. Elizabeth has made a step forward here. The first step t solving a problem is admitting hat you have a problem. She acknowledges that her family are all slobs, which is good. You should be the bigger person here and help her to escape her horrid up bringing! marry her!
