You are joking, Lizzie. This cannot be! Engaged to Mr Darcy? No, you shall not deceive me. I know it to be impossible. This is a wretched beginning. Indeed. My sole dependence was on you and I am sure nobody else will believe me if you do not. Yet indeed, I am in earnest. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves me and we are engaged. Jane looked at her doubtingly. Oh Lizzie, it cannot be. I know how much you dislike him. You know nothing of the matter that is all to be forgot. Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now. But in cases of these, a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever remember it myself. Miss Bennett still looked all amazement Elizabeth again and more seriously assured her of the truth. Good heavens. Can it really be so yet? Now I must believe you, cried, Jane, my dear dear Lizzie. I would...I do congratulate you. But are you certain, forgive the question? Are you quite certain that you can be happy with him? There can be no doubt of that. It is settled between us already that we are to be the happiest couple in the world. But are you pleased Jane? Shall you like to have such a brother?
