My wife is utterly distressed for Jane reported that she has made no progress in her efforts to charm Mr. Bingley. In fact, she said over the phone that she has yet to see Bingley at all in the entire time she has been at Gracechurch Street. Mrs. Bennet raves that her daughters are useless if they can’t even keep a good man when they find one and further states that Jane should have told her sooner. I, however, cannot blame my daughter for hiding her loose after seeing her mother’s reaction first hand. I know, had I been in her shoes, I would have done the same as her. I truly feel for my daughter and her distress at being on the receiving end of my wife’s wrath. On a final note, I can’t help but wonder why Mr. Bingley hasn’t come to see Jane, for I knew him to be quite fond of her last summer.
