[English]

Miss

Elizabeth I have struggled in vain and I

can bear it no longer these past months

have been a torment I came to rosing the

single object of seeing you I had to see

you I have fought against my better

judgment my family's expectation the

inferiority of your birth my rank and

Circumstance all these things and I'm

willing to put them aside and ask you to

end my Agony I don't understand I love

you most

ENT please do me the honor of accepting

my

hand sir

I I appreciate the struggle you have

been through and I am very sorry to have

caused you pain believe me it was

unconsciously

done is this your reply yes sir are you

are you laughing at me no are you

rejecting me I'm sure that the feelings

which as you've told me have hindered

your regard will help you in overcoming

it might I ask why with so little

Endeavor at civility I am less repulsive

and I might as well inquire why with so

evident a design of insulting me you

chose to tell me that you like me

against your better judgment believe if

I was unil then that is some excuse but

I have other reasons you know I have

what reason re do you think that

anything might tempt me to accept the

man who was ruined perhaps forever the

happiness of a most beloved

sister do you deny it Mr

Darcy that you separated a young couple

who loved each other exposing your

friend to the center of the world for

Caprice and my sister to its derision

for disappointed hopes and involving

them both in misery of the acutest kind

I do not deny

it how could you do it because I

believed your sister indifferent to him

indifferent I watched them most

carefully and realized his attachment

was deeper than hers that's because

she's shy Bley too is modest and was

persuaded she didn't feel strong because

you suggested it I did it for his own

good my sister hardly shows her true

feelings to

me I suppose you suspect that his his

fortune had some bearing I would be your

sister the dishonor though it was

suggested what

was it was made perfectly clear that

advantage's marriage did my sister give

that impression no no no there was

however I have to admit the matter of

your family a want of connection Mr

Bingley didn't seem to beex himself

about that how sir it was the lack of

propriety shown by your mother your

three younger sisters even on occasion

your

father forgive

me you and your sister I must exclude

from

this and what about Mr

Wickham Mr Wickham what excuse can you

give you your behavior towards him you

take an eager interest in that

gentleman's con he told me of his

Misfortune oh yes his Misfortune happy

very great indeed you ruin his chances

and yet you treat him with sarcasm so

this is your opinion of me thank you for

explaining so fully perhaps these

offenses might have been overlooked had

not your pride been hurt by my honesty

and admitting Scruples about our

relationship could you expect me to

rejoice in the inferiority of your

circumstances and those are the words of

a

gentleman from the first moment I met

you your arrogance and conceit your

selfish disdain for the feelings of

others made me realize that you were the

last man in the world I could ever be

prevailed upon to marry

forgive

me Madam for taking up so much of your

time
