That Was Fast

By Ethan Rouen ’04J on September 21, 2009

Bingley is off to London, leaving Jane hurt, but not dejected. Despite Miss Bingley's best attempts to keep her away, Jane heads to London with the Gardiners.
Collins and Charlotte are getting ready to be married, and Elizabeth is only slightly hurt when Wickham (I knew it!) starts paying attention to a more wealthy girl.
In these short chapters of Book II, we see the value money has in marriage. It makes one wonder how anyone can end up happily married when feelings take a backseat to standing.
