Lydia,

I find myself at a loss to answer your repeated letters. Let me only say, and once only: you indeed did not fully inform me of the identity of the person concerned in this matter. Had you done so I – well, for the sake of future family harmony, let us cease to speak of the matter. It never happened: we will never, not once, refer to it again.

And there is another and more pressing reason why we will never and can never do so. Regarding the matter of my dear husband's supposed misdeeds, with Miss Caroline Bingley: I now find that I was entirely mistaken in my assumptions. Everything is explained: the Brighton excursion involved a trip to Miss Bingley's aunt, the better to purchase a delightful Gainsborough miniature in her possession, specifically for my birthday. Miss Bingley's own secretive triumph of manner towards me even has explication: the gift was her own idea, hard-negotiated with the aunt who was reluctant indeed to part with her treasure. I believe it was her notion of a conciliatory gesture after long misunderstanding and bad feeling between us: and no doubt part of her bouncy air was also due to happiness, as her engagement to an Italian conte has just been announced.

Darcy is therefore restored in my heart to his previous irreproachable character: and so am I, Lydia. So am I. Render it so in your own heart, also: and, my sister, control your husband, as any good wife learns to do. Maintain your discretion, and his, with an iron hand if necessary: at least, if you wish to maintain your access to my pocketbook.

Do not write again for a long while. I am out of sorts with you.

Goodnight, sister.

Elizabeth Darcy.
