I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer

these past months have been a torment

I came to Rosings for the single option of seeing you

I have to see you

I have fought against my better judgment

my family's expectations

the inferiority of your birth

my rank, circumstances all these and I'm willing to put aside

and ask you

to end my agony

I don't understand

I love you

most ardently

please do me the honour of excepting 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 feeling which had you told me

have hindered your regard will help you

in overcoming it

Might I asked why with so little

endeavour at civility, I must repulse

And I might as well enquire

why with so evident a design of insulting me

you chose to tell me that you like me

against your better judgment

No believe me, I don't make

If I was uncivil then that is some excuse

but I have other reasons

you know I have

What reasons?

Did you think of anything might tempt me

to accept the man who has ruined

perhaps forever the happiness

of her most beloved sister

Do you deny it Mr. Darcy?

that you separated a young couple who loved each other

exposing your friend to the censure of the world for caprice

and my sister

to its derision for disappointed hope

and involving the broken misery of the acutest kind

I do not deny it

How could you do it?

Because I believe your sister indifferent to him

Indifferent?

I watched them most carefully and realised

his attachment was deeper than her

That's because she's shy

Bingley too is modest and was persuaded

she didn't feel strongly for him

Because you suggested it

I did it for his own good

My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me

I supposed you suspected his

his fortune had some bearings on the matter

No, I wouldn't do your sister the dishonour

though it was suggested

What was?

It was made perfectly clear that an advantageous marriage

Did my sister gives that impression?

No

No

No, there was however I have to admit

the matter of your family

Our want of connection?

Mr. Bingley didn't seem to begs himself about that

No it was more than that

How sir?

It was lack of propriety shown by your mother

your three younger sisters

even on occasions, your father

Forgive me

You and your sister I must exclude

And what about Mr. Wickham

Mr. Wickham?

What excuse can you give for your

your behaviour towards him?

You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns

You told me of his misfortune

Oh yes his misfortune had been very great indeed

You ruined his chances

and yet you treat him with sarcasm

So this is your opinion of me?

Thank you for explaining so fully

Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked

had not your pride been hurt

by my honesty in a bit of scruple

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, your conceit, your selfish disdain

for the feelings of others

made me realised 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
