Thoroughly Distracted
One look at the people gathered in the room, and Elizabeth was not so certain she wished for her sister to be married to such a man as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy if this was the company her dearest Jane might be expected to keep.
She only needed to give the people gathered there a cursory glance to know they all thought rather highly of themselves. Among those assembled, the Bennets were considered the strangers, for everyone else seemed to be acquaintances of long standing. Feeling quite up to the task of studying these people and assessing who among them was to be considered friend or foe, Elizabethâs greatest concern centered on her sister.
On second thought, perhaps I ought not to worry in that regard, for Jane thinks everyone in the world is kind and good. It is not in her nature to think meanly of anyone. Janeâs angelic smile alone is enough to warm the entire room.
Elizabeth sighed. Indeed, my sister Jane is forever the optimist â a bright ray of light that shall serve her extremely well over the coming weeks. It is I who could use a bit of Janeâs enthusiasm.
Elizabeth hardly attended the formalities of the occasion as the introductions were being made. Instead, her thoughts tended to her earlier conversation with Jane that took place before the two came down to join the others.
From what Elizabeth could garner, her elder sister had not been the slightest bit offended by Fitzwilliam Darcyâs earlier affront. Indeed, Jane offered that he was merely shy. What gentleman would not be? Jane had posited. Certainly, it was not every day that a gentleman met the people who might very well be his own relations. When asked by Elizabeth if she liked the gentleman, Jane had replied in the affirmative that indeed she did. She decried that there was something in his manner of walk and even his manner of speaking that gave a favorable indication of his character.
Elizabeth would have been extremely pressed to deny that were one to judge by physical appearances then yes, Fitzwilliam Darcy was everything a gentleman ought to be. Still she could not help but worry that this particular gentleman had not fallen to his knees the moment he laid eyes on her beautiful older sister and begged her to be his brideâjust as she had envisioned he would do from the moment her father spoke of his bargain entered into with his old friend Mr. Darcy during their university days. As their agreement that the older daughter of the one should be wed to the eldest son of the other had been reached in such broad terms as to leave the ultimate decision in the hands of the principals, Elizabeth, of course, knew nothing was certain.
On the other hand, how could the young man do anything other than fall madly in love with my dearest Jane upon first sight? Here again, Elizabeth smiled inside. Me and my fanciful notions of love at first sight.
