Unwilling Compliance

Since my last post, Lizzie has gone off on vacation with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner. Lizzie told me this morning, over the phone, that their original plans had to be cancelled because Mr. Gardiner had work to do, but now they are headed to Pemberly for a tour of the house and specifically the wondrous grounds. Lizzie said she is excited to see the gardens since they are apparently in high esteem, but she also sounded rather nervous. I don’t blame her in the slightest. That Mr. Darcy is certainly a very peevish and creepy character always staring at my Lizzie, though the manner of his gaze always varies, sometimes it is cold yet curious and others it is warm and calculating. He is most peculiar.
