<description>Comfort and Joy
Blurb: Mr. Bennet receives three interviews with (future) sons-in-law, to the tune of the Christmas carol, God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen. 
Mr. Wickham&#039;s Verse
Greetings, Father Bennet, 
And how are you today?
As you well know, the deed is done. 
There&#039;s nothing you can say,
For I have wed your daughter.
And now my debts are paid!
Such a feeling of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Such a feeling of comfort and joy!
Mr. Bingley&#039;s Verse
God rest you, Mr. Bennet, 
And how are you today?
I thank you for this interview.
This is what I must say:
I want to wed your daughter,
To love her everyday!
Give us blessings for comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Give us blessings for comfort and joy!
Mr. Darcy&#039;s Verse
Good morning, Mr. Bennet, 
And how are you today?
You may not know why I am here 
So I will not delay.
I have asked Elizabeth 
To be my fiancée.
I bring tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
I bring tidings of comfort and joy!
Mrs. Bennet&#039;s Verse
My poor nerves, Mr. Bennet!
My nerves are sorely frayed!
We have one daughter married,
And two more on the way!
I&#039;ll plan the wedding breakfast 
And sew the lingerie.
Oh, this brings me comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Oh, this brings me comfort and joy!</description><link>https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?5,131441,131441#msg-131441</link><lastBuildDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 17:58:57 +0100</lastBuildDate>
