Give Me a Heartattack
Lizzie called today, and she informed me, on an aside, that Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam had recently left the company at Rosings. However, the one thing Lizzie told me that had me as nervous as a Chihuahua was when she mentioned that Lady Catherine insisted she extend her visit a few more weeks. After she mentioned this, my heart flew to my throat, and I practically shouted “no way!” in utter horror, interrupting Lizzie mid sentence. Silence followed my outburst for just a moment, but Lizzie soon started laughing and assured me that she had politely turned down Lady Catherine’s invitation. Our conversation ended with a laugh of my own at the ridiculousness of my reaction, and my hesitant admittance that I had truly missed my daughter’s presence while saying goodbye with a “see you soon.”

Father, I will be home very soon and there is no need to fret. How could I opt to stay with a woman who clearly hates me over returning to family that I love deeply. You will see my return very soon and I will catch you up on everything that occurred during my travels. I'll keep it short though, for I know how much you hate the mindless gossip of Lydia. Do not worry, I will soon rescue you from the senselessness of your two youngest and the emptiness of Mary. I will see you soon father.
