Hey everyone! I would like to send a shout out to all the international friends I seem to be attracting, please feel free to follow the blog, Google tells me that now you can if you have a Google+ at least that's how I understand it, it seems that leaving comments should be available to the public now.
Okay so I will be covering these two chapters then 34 and 35 separately, but I will be typing them tonight and posting them tomorrow.
Now on with the show.
Alright, chapter 32 opens with Lizzy being at the parsonage by herself and who should show up but "Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Darcy only" who comes in and sits awkwardly trying to talk to Lizzy. Now allow me to point out that this is abnormal of the time era and Darcy had thought the other women would be there which would have been acceptable.
Now that he is there he cannot bring himself to leave and they go back and forth about things like whether Charlotte lives close to her family or whether she lives farther away then can their amount of wealth can make comfortable. He ends up confusing her and at one point catching her off guard completely when he leans in closer to her and says "You cannot have a right to such very strong local attachment. You cannot have been always at Longbourn."
Now what I get from that is that he is giving her an extreme complement. He is suggesting that she is from better breeding and that she acts as if she had at one point come from his level of society. Its sweet but a bit too much and he gets awkward so he picks up a news paper and hides behind it acting all cool.
Then the other women show up and after a minute he leaves... wait didn't he just say that he thought they were there and that is why he came... HMMMMMMMMMM. Charlotte picks up on this and almost instantly says "My dear Eliza, he must be in love with you or he would never have called on us in this familiar way." They end up chalking his actions up to boredom because, after all, men can't spend all their time inside a house with an aunt like Lady Catherine.
Either way both gentlemen make fairly common visits to the parsonage and Lizzy finds herself liking Fitzwilliam who tries to convince them that Darcy is less awkward at home.
Charlotte starts watching Darcy because she is smart enough to pick up his very subtle hints of love but she doesn't push it in case she is wrong.
Chapter 33 starts off cute and ends horribly. First Lizzy is walking one of the paths on the property and runs into Darcy and she tells him that it is her favorite path hoping that that will make him not want to take that path anymore. However she ends up seeing him all the time and he actually makes a point to turn and walk in the same direction that she is walking in and starts asking her a whole bunch of questions and she has no idea what to do with him.
Then the bad news comes. One day she is out walking the same walk (funny enough she didn't put effort into changing her path even though Darcy kept coming) and she runs into Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam is supposed to be the smart one but instead he turns out to be a big gossip.The first thing we find out is that they haven't left yet because Darcy keeps putting off the day when the two men are supposed to leave which is mighty convenient. Then they start talking about Bingley and Fitzwilliam says that he has every reason to think that Darcy had helped him (Bingley) out of an almost mess because Darcy was telling him that he recently saved a good friend of his from marrying into an undesirable marriage very recently and the only guy he was really spending that much time with was Bingley. Apparently "there were some very strong objections against the lady."
Well Lizzy puts two and two together and realizes that Darcy is the main reason why Bingley is no longer expected to return to his Netherfield estate (which we learned during the awkward small talk in the last chapter). That's right folks Darcy split Bingley and Jane up. Lizzy is ticked off and makes herself so upset thinking about it that by the end of the night she has given herself a headache and made herself literally sick. She ends up deciding that she will not be going to Rosings that night to hang out with a man who (as far as she can tell) has rejected her family and broken her sisters pure heart.
Alright everyone when you see the next to chapters you will understand why they are separate but for now you will just have to trust that I have your best feels at heart. Trust me you will want to deal with these feels one feel at a time.
Anyway I am about to prepare the next few chapters for you so look forward to them with dread, I mean excitement.
