So happy Darcy has found a path for Richard! Can't say I'm pleased about the "Georgie Situation," though. Bingley still has not retrieved himself in my eyes. He has learned nothing. He has treated Miss Thompson the same way he treated Jane. To have no self-awareness of the emotions he can raise with his attentions to females seems naive at best, and uncaring, at worst. Without any effort at all, he is able to "reserve" Georgie? Seriously? The problem for me in dramatic terms, is that while Bingley has hurt many women (whether he meant to or not) with his attentions - he himself, has never been hurt, He has never been rejected. He has never been unrequited. He needs to suffer the same sting of rejection that others have felt in life. Everything has been made far too easy for this spoiled man. This is not the 20th century - this is a time when gentlemen knew full well the social meaning of paying particular attention to a young lady. If it had just been Jane, perhaps he would have had an excuse. And how many women might have come before Jane, BTW?
The pretty, kind and good-natured Darcy heiress can do far better than a bumbling flirt with repulsive sisters.
