“Lizzy, I am amazed your mother still has so much to say on the subject of
Mr Bingley,” Mrs Gardiner said with a sigh. The Gardiners had arrived to
spend Christmas at Longbourn as usual, and their week was nearly over.
“Jane bears it patiently, but it must wear on her spirits.”
“Poor Jane! She says she is perfectly happy, but she is not herself. It will
be good for her to return to town with you.” Elizabeth was glad for her sister
to have a little relief from home and from her mother’s constant talk of “when
would Mr Bingley be back down” and how “he must come down for the
summer.”
“You do not think she joins us in hope of seeing him?” her aunt asked
with a worried look. “Our circles are so different that it is improbable they
should meet at all, unless he comes to see her.”
Elizabeth shook her head. “His sisters will keep him from her. Miss
Bingley’s letter to Jane to assure her of their being settled in London for the
winter was mostly praise of Miss Darcy.” Her attractions were dwelt on, and
Miss Bingley had boasted of her hope of Miss Darcy becoming her sister.
“She wrote also of Mr Bingley being an inmate of Mr Darcy’s house, so we
know that all of his affection for Jane has been driven away by his host.”
Elizabeth had never doubted that Mr Darcy had been concerned in the
measures taken to separate Mr Bingley and Jane.
Who was the principal
designer of the plan, Mr Darcy or Miss Bingley, she could not say. But we all
know Mr Darcy is an unfeeling man. His pride was the cause of all that Jane
had suffered. He had ruined every hope of happiness for the most generous
heart in the world.
“Do you truly think that this Mr Bingley’s regard was genuine?” Mrs
Gardiner asked. “It often happens that a young man so easily falls in love
with a pretty girl for a few weeks and, when accident separates them, so
easily forgets her.”
“I know that it was,” Elizabeth said firmly. “What remains to be known is
whether his regard had really died away, or was suppressed by his friends’
interference.”
“Either way, it speaks to the want of resolution on Mr Bingley’s part as
much as it might be blamed on his friend. Mr Darcy may not be the villain
you suppose he is.”
“I never said he was a villain, but now we know the depths of selfishness
that Mr Darcy is capable of. All of Meryton is talking of what Wickham had
endured from Mr Darcy. Ever since Netherfield has been shut up, it is openly
acknowledged.” No one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted
on Jane, but Wickham was still suffering from Mr Darcy’s caprice and
neglect. “We all have many reasons to dislike Mr Darcy.”
