_{miss elizabeth. i have struggled in vain and i can bear it no longer. these past months have been a torment. i came to rosings with the single object of seeing you… i had to see you. i have fought against my better judgment, my family’s expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. all these things i am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.}
