Letter of Fate

My dear Jane received a much exciting letter from Caroline Bingley. She was invited to dine with her at Netherfield. Unfortunately, to our understanding, Mr. Bingley was not in town and would not be attending the occasion. When Jane asked to use the carriage I denied her request and said her father already had arrangements to use it, so she was forced to go on horseback. While there, just as I had expected, the storm came through and Jane was forced to stay over night at Netherfield. The next day, we were informed that our poor Jane had caught a cold, and Caroline Bingley insisted that she stay at Netherfield until she was well. Oh! My plan worked! Mr. Bingley will soon return home, and he and Jane will get to spend more time together. Mr. Bingley HAS to fall in love with my dear Jane. They are just perfect for each other. Not to mention that she is my eldest daughter and has yet to receive any offer in marriage. She cannot stay single the rest of her life! So I, as her mother, have taken the initiative to help her in her search for a husband. Lord knows she cannot do it on her own. Just as I had hoped, Mr. Bingley returned home while Jane was still ill, and they shared many, many conversations. The more time Mr. Bingley spends with Jane, the more he will realize she is the perfect prospect for his wife, and he will fall madly in love. Jane will thank me greatly one day for all the good I do for her!
