A/N- Thanks a lot to everyone for reviewing. I'm overwhelmed! Apologies for taking so long to update, I was working on another story called Loved and Lost. Pride and Prejudice fans may like it. Ah! The things love makes us do! Now, some parts of the story might feel inappropriate, but I have been planning this story in a certain way for so long that I have to ignore some social customs. Apologies! Enjoy the story, I'm doing my best.
'What do you think of the little girls, Darcy?'
'They are like any other little girls. There is not much to think about as far as they are concerned.'
'Well, did Ms Elizabeth not fascinate you?'
'She is interesting, I admit, but only a little girl.'
'Of course, but the sisters are going to grow into charming woman.'
'You don't intend to become to close with them I hope?
'I might, Darcy. Do you dislike them so much?'
'I do not dislike them, Bingley, but they are too young for me too be interested in. No doubt they will be gems to the society ten years later.'
'Why do you think their mother left us alone in the parlor? It was most inappropriate.'
'Indeed it was, but she may have had her reasons for doing so'
'What reasons could you mean Darcy?'
'A desire to leave us alone with her daughters and see if we form a close acquaintance.'
'You could not think that about her!'
'I do, Bingley, and I hope her daughters don't turn out to become vicious husband hunters, though they seemed to be rather sensible.'
'Think what you will, Darcy. I refuse to think so ill of the Bennets!'
'Hmphh'
And that was where the conversation ended, as they arrived at Netherfield again.
Meanwhile, our little ladies had a much longer discussion that night as they lay side by side in their bed.
'Jane, did you like the gentlemen?'
'They were quite polite, were they not? And Mr Bingley was most charming.'
'You haven't lost your heart, I hope. They are far too old for us, and too above our social status.'
'They are gentlemen, and we are daughters of a gentleman, Lizzy. That is all that counts.'
'Jane! You avoid my question. Do you like Mr Bingley?'
'Merely as an acquaintance. But what about you Lizzy? Do you have an affection for Mr Darcy? I could sense a connection between you two as soon as you met.'
Lizzy laughed gaily, though she did blush a little.
'Of course not, my dear. He may be rich and he may be handsome, but he is certainly not what I would call agreeable.'
'You misunderstood him too much. No doubt he thinks you childish. And impertinent.'
'I couldn't care!'
'Oh you never care.'
'He did say he likes girls having a mind of her own'
'He did, Lizzy, and you have me defeated, for he seemed too sensible to have such false opinions.'
'What troubles me, Jane is that Mama left us alone throughout the visit. I wonder what they are thinking about us!'
'You just said you didn't care.'
'I don't care about people seeing me for what I am, but I do care about false rumors that may spread about my family!'
'Mama would laugh at that.'
'Papa would not.'
Jane looked thoughtful.
'I guess so. Sometimes I wish Mama and Papa would get along.'
'Me too.'
After this, the conversation ended as the girls fell asleep.
A/N- I know that was kinda short but the next one will be better, I promise. Feed the muse, write a review.
