Okay anyway now that I'm breathing again I might as well continue where I left off in Pride and Prejudice. I would like to thank another unnamed individual for her wonderful feedback last night - more Mr. Collins it is, then.
So Mr. Collins ends up sneaking off to Lucas Lodge, the neighbors' house, and proposing to Elizabeth's friend Charlotte. Charlotte, who has a very practical view of marriage and will marry basically anyone who proposes to her, accepts his offer. Elizabeth is shocked.
"Engaged to Mr. Collins?! Impossible!"
After Mr. Collins and Charlotte leave, word arrives that Bingley and Darcy are leaving Netherfield. Jane goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in London; though she knows that Bingley is in London, she tells Elizabeth in her letters that Bingley has never once called on her, making both sisters wonder if he's really serious about her.
The following spring, Elizabeth goes to stay with Charlotte and Mr. Collins for awhile. Mr. Collins eagerly shows off his new Living, given to him by the honorable Lady Catherine de Bourgh. He takes a lot of time - not to mention a lot of words - to show Elizabeth around his new house, to which Charlotte is just like:
*patient blank stare*
Needless to say, Lade Catherine is shocked by her impertinence.
Soon, surprisingly, Mr. Darcy and his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam come to stay at Rosings. Colonel Fitzwilliam reveals to Elizabeth that Darcy broke up Bingley and Jane's relationship because (he thought) Jane didn't care much for Bingley.
Meanwhile, Darcy and Elizabeth cross paths frequently until, one day, to Elizabeth's immense astonishment, Mr. Darcy proposes to her.
you know I just noticed the wallpaper seems to warp as he moves. Does he secretly have telekinetic powers?!
Also I'm writing this while listening to Capital Kings, so basically every gif I look at seems to be dancing. try it sometime, it's fun.
Elizabeth turns the proposal down vehemently, listing Darcy's behavior towards Wickham - and her sister - as examples of why he is a terrible person.
That's all for now but part 4 will not be long in coming!
