Chapter 21

Email from Anne Gardiner to Elizabeth Bennet:

Hello Lizzy,

I know that you've just gotten back from a visit to your friend's, but your uncle and I were wondering if you want to come on a holiday with us?

Love,

Anne

-------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to Anne Gardiner:

YES YES YES YES YES! Thank you so much, Aunt!

Love,

Lizzy

Email from George Wickham to Elizabeth Bennet:

Hey Liza,

How are you? I haven't seen you around for a while, though Lydia told me that you were at Mrs. De Bourgh's waterpark. I don't envy you: Mrs DB is very much like her nephew – you do know that Will Darcy is her nephew, right? Well, yeah.

Want to go to Starbucks with me afterwards?

-------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to George Wickham:

No, I do not want to go to Starbucks with you. What about your girlfriend… Mary King? You really can't expect me go out with you if you're cheating on her.

Yes, I met Darcy. Yes, I knew he was Mrs. DB's nephew. )

I'm going on a holiday with my aunt and uncle. So I'll meet up with a couple of friends later to say goodbye.

I'll call you.

Liz NOT Liza

Email from George Wickham to Elizabeth Bennet:

For heavens sake, relax, girl. I was just asking you out as a friend, though if you want to be anything more… wink I've broken up with Mary King.

Oh, you met Darcy? What did you think of him? Snotty as ever?

I'm leaving this area for the bigger city soon, so yeah, I'll keep in contact though!

George

---------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to George Wickham:

Oh… Well, I'm really not interested in a relationship at the moment.

------------

Email from George Wickham to Elizabeth Bennet:

Relax, girl, RELAX! Why is it that everything I say/type today rubs you up the wrong way?

Well, how was Darcy?

------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to George Wickham:

Sorry… it's just so… weird to be back. I'm still adjusting I guess. Darcy was good. He's not as bad as you think. We got talking. I guess I think he's…interesting. Not nice, but… nice?

------------

Email from George Wickham to Elizabeth Bennet:

Oh, really? That's interesting. Look, I don't think I'd be able to come to the get together. I probably need to pack.

-------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to George Wickham:

Whatever. Have fun at wherever you're going.

-------------

Email from Jackie Foster to Lydia Bennet:

Hey Liddy,

D'you want 2 go 2 this city with me? It's the one where that hottie, Wickham is going. And you've got a thing for him.

-------------

Email from Lydia Bennet to Jackie Foster:

Ooh, YES. What should I bring? What clothes? How much $$$?

---------------

Email from Elizabeth Bennet to Emma Woodhouse:

Hey. Sorry I haven't emailed you in a while. I've been busy and I guess you've been busy too? wink, wink, nudge, nudge lol. I'm back at home now, and everything's much the same, except that Liddy's been making a fuss, wanting to go to Brighton – where George Wickham is going. I told Dad that that's not a good idea, but he refused to listen to me – he really wants to avoid conflict with Mum and Liddy. Kitty's been throwing a huge tantrum – not that anyone listened – because she wants to go too, and Liddy's friend didn't invite her. Aunt and Uncle are going to take me somewhere… far far away… for a long time? I hope. Anything to get out of this madhouse, really.

Email from Fanny Price to Jane Bennet:

Jane, the most terrible thing has happened! You know Henry? He ran off with Julia! Julia who is engaged – engaged! And with Henry Crawford of all people! The entire family is in an uproar; I really don't what to do!

Help!

Fan

-------------

Email from Jane Bennet to Fanny Price:

Fan,

Breathe in… breathe out... good. Look, Julia is a sensible girl, she'll realise her mistake. Really, don't worry about it. And besides, Henry Crawford sounds like a… nice man. He'll look after her. It would probably have been better if she had told… oh, never mind. The point is, it's better that she's happy, right? And… well… yes. She's happy. That's… good, right?

Jane

--------------

Email from Julia Crawford to Lydia Bennet:

Oh my gosh, Liddy, guess what? I'm MARRIED! MARRIED, LIDDY, MARRIED! AND NOT TO MY BORING OLD FIANCÉ EITHER! TO HENRY CRAWFORD! WHEE!

--------------

Email from Lydia Bennet to Julia Crawford:

That is COOL! Henry is, like, HOT! But I've got better news! I'm chasing this guy across the country! George Wickham – he's been pretty hard to get – he liked my SISTER at first, but she doesn't like him anymore or something. Some random reason that she's not going to tell me. But whatever. Watch this space, I'll get him.
