Today I ran into Elizabeth while she was taking a walk. I proceeded to hand her the letter I wrote regarding the truth behind her prejudice. I told Elizabeth why the relationship between Wickham and myself is the way it is. I also admitted to something I'm sure she was displeased with. I told her that I did in fact convince Bingley not to marry Jane. I did not want him to be apart of the low social standing of the Bennet family. Elizabeth can form her own opinions with the information I provided her; at least now she has the truth.
Dear Darcy,
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to hear from you again my old friend! I admire your bravery in standing up to the ruthless prejudice that Elizabeth has towards you. I am confident that you will find someone out there that will make you happy. However, I cannot comprehend why you are so prideful of social status. Jane is a perfectly wonderful girl and I would prefer no further interference from you.
Warm Regards,
Mr. Bingley
Darcy,
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for the letter you wrote me to explain the truth behind these events that have caused me to form a prejudice regarding you. Although I still do not like how you ruined my sister's happiness and chance at love with Mr. Bingley, I am thoroughly happy that I now understand your disdain for Wickham. If I had known from the start that he attempted to run off with your sister, my opinions would vary greatly.
