[Music] Miss Elizabeth I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer these past months have been a torment I came to rosing with the single object of seeing you I had to see you I have fought against my better judgment my family's expectation the inferiority of your birth my rank and Circumstance all these things that I'm willing to put them aside and ask you to end my Agony I don't understand I love you most ENT please do me the honor of accepting 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 feelings witches you've told me have hindered your regard will help you in overcoming it might I ask why with so little Endeavor at civility I'm less repulsive and I might as well inquire 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 if
I was uncivil then that is some excuse but I have other reasons you know I have what reasons do you think that anything might tempt me to accept the man who is ruined perhaps forever the happiness of a most beloved sister you deny it Mr Darcy that you separated a young couple who loved each other exposing your friend to the center of the world for Caprice and my sister to its derision for disappointed hopes and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind I do not deny it how could you do it because I
believed your sister indifferent to him indifferent I watched them most carefully and realized his attachment was deeper than hers that's because she's shy Bingley too is modest and was persuaded she didn't feel strong because you suggested it I did it for his own good my sister hardly shows her true feelings to me I suppose you suspect that his his fortune had some bearing your sister the dishonor though it was suggested what was it was made perfectly clear that mad's marriage did my sister give that impression no no no there was however a have to admit
the matter of your family a want of connection Mr Bingley didn't seem to Vex himself about that that how sir it was the lack of propriety shown by your mother your three younger sisters even on occasion your father [Music] forgive me you and your sister I must exclude [Music] this and what about Mr Wickam Mr wck what excuse can you give to your your behavior towards him you take an eager interest in that gentleman's conern he told me of his misfortunes oh yes his misfortunes have been very great indeed you ruin his chances and yet
you treat him with sarcasm so this is your opinion of me thank you for explaining so fully perhaps these offenses might have been overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honesty and admitting Scruples 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 and conceit your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry forget
me Madam for taking up so much of your time [Music]
