My dearest Elizabeth has been gone nearly a week, and yet the remaining members of my family have already begun to drive me up the wall. My wife’s woeful cries about her tattered nerves and rather empty and irritating assurances that Jane is right now renewing the interests of Mr. Bingley in London are nothing except bothersome. Mary amazes me for such a bright seemingly sensible girl, she is utterly ridiculous. Mary is the type of person that poses no social skill whatsoever, and her presence, which should be a comfort among the idiocy of the remainder of my family, is of no significance since she has no presence. Lydia and Kitty are incessantly obsessing over the officers in Meryton, as usual. In an attempt to keep my sanity, I have taken to mostly ignoring my family until the return of either Lizzie or Jane. I impatiently await Lizzie’s first phone call.
Hello Father! I am doing fairly well here in London and have not heard anything of Mr. Bingley.
ReplyDeleteOh father, I know our family is not the most couth, but take care of them while I'm gone. Try to keep mother under control, for I know she is on edge about the breaking off of Jane and Mr. Bingley. I think we both know that it was not of Mr. Bingley's idea, but I shall find the truth. Meanwhile, Mr. Collins' idocracy shall comfort my need for a good laugh. Send my blessings to everyone.
ReplyDeleteWell it is nice to know that I am not the only sensible Bennet stuck amongst idiots. Oh how I long to have a sophisticated conversation with you, father! If I stay much longer here at Rosings I fear I may lose myself to this idiocracy that I am constantly around. Hold on to your sanity, dearest father, for I will be home soon.
ReplyDeleteFather, how difficult is might seem for you. Mother is not helping much I suppose. I will be coming home soon, as you were hoping. for all the time spent here in London, I have not seen or heard hide nor tail of Mr.Bingley. Please do not be too harsh on Lydia and Kitty, they are still young and ignorant and will learn. In hope of seeing you soon, Father.
