“Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can hear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single objective seeing you. I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my families expectations, my inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony”
I don’t understand
I love you...
Please do me the honor in accepting my hand
I appreciate the struggle you have been through and I am very sorry to have caused you pain
