Disclaimer: This is based on Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice so most of the
characters are hers. I'm not sure about the ages so I've made Kitty
seventeen and Georgiana nineteen.
Kitty, lying on her bed, could hear her mother's hysterical cries coming from across the corridor. Even when she covered her head with a pillow the sound still managed to penetrate through and now it was getting louder. A loud knocking on her door was followed by the appearance of Mrs Bennet still screaming. However on looking at Kitty's face she was struck dumb. Finally regaining her voice she gasped,
'What ever is the matter with your face Kitty? It's your sister's wedding day and you look hideous. However will you find a husband if you insist on looking like a monster. Honestly I gave Jane and Lydia my beautiful looks, Lizzie my wonderful wit, but both you and Mary resemble Mr Bennet's side of the family.' With that she swept out of the room. Kitty got out of bed and went to the mirror. Her eyes were red and puffy; a sure sign to any loving mother that something was wrong, but sadly the only thing about her daughters that Mrs Bennet loved was marrying them off. After staring at herself so hard so that the image had become a blur, Kitty shook herself and started to get ready. But then her eyes fell on the fateful letter that was the cause of so much pain. It had come from her dearest sister Lydia, who after prattling on about her wonderful life as a wife and soon-to-be mother, had at the end of the epistle carelessly mentioned a wedding she had been to of a certain Captain Kinglet and Miss Forth and what a jolly affair it had been. Yet these casual words had been a sharp stab in the heart for Kitty, who had got over the lonely cold winter nights with warming thoughts of that same dashing captain. And the nights had been lonely without Lydia to dance and share silly secrets with. Lizzie and Jane had been kind, but both were preoccupied with their future nuptials. Tonight when she got back home they would both be wed and there would only be mother, father, and Mary left. Father and Mary both thought her frivolous and, if this morning's episode was anything to go by, her mother was not going to be much of a companion either. Now she would not even have her dreams about Kinglet to occupy her. There were no eligible men in sight and now there probably never would be. So at seventeen Kitty Bennet resigned herself to life as a spinster.
