Disappointment

         My uncle and father currently are in London looking for Lydia and Wickham. Unfortunately, there is no word as to the whereabouts of the couple. I fear that my father is losing patience, word is that he plans to return home. I hope he continues to give the search his best effort until then...
         Meanwhile, Mr.Collins has sent quite a shocking letter. Actually, on some level this stunt of his is not surprising; it is the sheer audacity that is shocking. The letter was concerning the matters regarding Lydia. Basically, the letter suggested poor parenting on my mother and father's part and that this scandal reflected poorly on my family. Of course this turmoil is a serious matter; however, my family's business does not involve Collins. Perhaps he should focus on keeping his marriage to his soulmate from crashing and burning!
