Pride and Prejudice-Letters to Grandmama

Dear Grandmama,

Oh tragedy of tragedy's, no doubt you have heard some whisper of the great misfortune that has come upon our family.  I cannot contain myself, Lydia has run away! She went off with that degenerate man Wickam; set a very foolish letter on her nightstand telling what she had done, and said it would be a great funny joke!  Oh Lydia, poor Lydia, poor foolish Lydia, I only hope that Uncle will be able to catch them and make sure they are married, for rumor is that Wickam had no plan to marry her at all.  Foolish Lydia had told Kitty of her engagement but demanded she keep it a secret.  So all along it could have been prevented if Kitty wasn't so foolish.  But let me compose myself, when I received the letter informing me of their elopement I was in so astonished and frightened that I was feeling faint.  Who should then come in but Mr. Darcy! He began to speak on entering, but seeing me looking ill, inquired on if I was well. I was in such desperate straights that when trying to tell him I began to cry, he was quite bewildered and disconcerted at this and didn't quite no what to do, but at last I told him all.  When I was finished, he looked very grave, got me a servant, and said he must go. I am sure that I will never see him again with that cordiality he had before. Oh comfort me Grandmama, I am in dangerous disarray,
Elizabeth
