"Darce, what is this?"
"Give me that!"
"Is that a proposal?"
"No! Why would I write a proposal?"
"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I love and admire you.
Sounds like a proposal to me."
"Can't a man have some privacy?"
"So it IS a proposal. Who is the lucky lady? Is it Anne?"
"No!"
"Miss Bingley?"
"Never!!!"
"It cannot be Miss Bennet. You already said you have no interest in her."
"…"
"Well, best of luck to you, whoever your ladylove is. I am off to walk with Miss Bennet."
"No! It is my turn now."
