  Srsly she's nothing 2 abt. Her features r boring: . Remember when u said Lizzy was pretty? LOLZ. You may as well say her mother is smart! #Bwahaha #EvilLaughter

  Darcy

  That was a long ago. Now I don't think she's pretty...I think she's gorgeous.

  I found Lydia and Wickham! I convinced them that they had to marry, now that they've been living in sin together. But there is 1 condition: you have to promise Lydia an inheritance when you die. They're not asking for much. Seems that Wickham's not as broke as we thought he was. If you agree, Lydia will get married today.

  Lizzy

  OMG! What are u going 2 back?

  Mr. Bennet

  I can't believe Wickham asked for so little. I need to know (1) how much money Gardiner put down, and (2) how I am ever going to repay him.

  Lydia

  REPLY

  Mr. Bennet: Not only are we not buying you all this stuff, Lydia, but you're not allowed to set foot in my house again!

  Mrs. Bennet: WHAT?! But she has to visit so we can show off her !

  Mr. Bennet: Sigh. Fine. But she can't live anywhere near here.

  Mrs. Bennet: WHAT?!

  Mr. Bennet: I'm putting my .

  Can't stop thinking about Darcy. He and I could have been the happiest couple in the if it wasn't 4 this bull w/ Lydia. I wish he didn't know the truth! I should have kept my mouth shut.

  Hi, Auntie.

  Is it true that Darcy was @ Lydia's wedding? I need details! Thx!

  From: Mrs. Gardiner

  To: Lizzy Bennet

  Subject: Re: Darcy Cameo

  Yes, Lizzy. Darcy found Wickham & Lydia and tried to talk them out of their plans. He tried to make Lydia leave, but she wouldn't. So he made sure they got married . Darcy paid off Wickham's debts and got a new job for him. Your uncle wanted to pay off the debt , but Darcy insisted. He felt his pride was responsible for everything.

  Mrs. Gardiner

  PS: Don't be mad I didn't tell you sooner. I wasn't supposed to say anything. But now that you know, isn't Darcy the greatest? If I were young and single...

  I can't believe Darcy would do something like that 4 my ! After all the stuff that's happened. SMH. I don't get it. What does he care about Lydia? Was it just because of his past w/ Wickham? Or does he still me?

  Bingley has checked into Netherfield.

  Lizzy

  Jane! Did you see that Bingley's back in town?

  Jane

  Yes, I wish Mom would stop reminding me. Just when things were starting to get easier, he comes back and all the old feelings resurface.

  Bingley and Darcy have checked into Longbourn.

  Mrs. Bennet: So glad ur here, Bingley! Make yourself @ !!

  Lizzy: Mom, please.

  Bingley: Jane, I can't wait 2 u! From ur pics, u are looking like an as always.

  Jane: Bingley, u sure know how 2 make a girl .

  Mrs. Bennet: We r all SO happy 2 have you back in town, Bingley. We thought you were never coming back!! So much has happened!!! Did you see Charlotte and Lydia got married???

  Darcy: Didn't know they were each other's type, lol.

  Lizzy: Ha!

  Mrs. Bennet: Huh?

  Lizzy: Bingley, how long do you plan to stay in town?

  Bingley: A few weeks, I think.

  Mrs. Bennet: Ur welcome 2 come here anytime u'd like! Come over 4 dinner 1 night this week.

  Bingley: Will do!

  Darcy didn't say 1 word 2 me when he was here. I wanted 2 thank him 4 what he did 4 my , but couldn't find the right . It's so hard 2 get a read on him.

  Jane

  The worst is behind us, Lizzy. We survived Darcy & Bingley w/o falling 2 pieces! And now every1 will say we r just friends.

  Lizzy
