Lightning Has Struck

When a man is turned down during a proposal, it’s only just that he looks elsewhere for a wife.

The night that I visited Lizzy’s house and found out about the disaster, I spent a majority of my time talking to Mr. Collins while Elizabeth and her mother battled in the library.  While talking to him isn’t the most enjoyable thing in the world, I do notice that he enjoys having someone listen to his rambles.  

It was when Lizzy thank me for keeping her cousin occupied that I got a brilliant idea.  If the Bennets wanted to be foolish and let him go, then that’s their fault, but I will not make the same mistake.  Since I am already past my marriageable age, this is my last chance to get everything I ever wanted in life.

I don’t want to live off my parents forever;
I want to manage my own household.
I will not be an OLD MAID.

Tomorrow I begin my quest to win the accountant's hand in marriage.

If you were me, would you take on the challenge?
