Pride and Prejudice Ch 51-the end

Elizabeth is shocked when she receives a letter from her aunt describing how Mr. Darcy is responsible entirely for the restoration of her sister. It is soon known that Mr. Bingley will be returning to Netherfield for the hunting season. He calls not long after he arrives and is accompanied by Darcy. Darcy visits a few times with Bingley and is silent for the most part and then departs for London. Shortly after Darcy's departure Bingley proposes to Jane and she, of course, accepts. Mr. Bennet receives a congratulatory letter from Mr. Collins on not only Jane's engagement, but Lizzie's to Mr. Darcy as well. Mr. Bennet finds this highly amusing. In a few days Lady Catherine pays Lizzie a visit demanding to know if Lizzie is engaged to her nephew and, if not, to obtain a promise that such an engagement would never take place. While Lizzie admits she is not engaged she refuses to give any such promise. A few days later Mr. Darcy returns and as a group of the young people are walking Darcy and Lizzie become separated from the others and when she tries to thank him for what he did for Lydia he tells her his wishes have not changed, but if she feels the same as she did before he will never bother her again. However she says her feelings are the opposite and they become engaged. Mr. Bennet gives Darcy permission immediately, but questions Lizzie about her lack of feelings for him only to discover she really loves him. They are married in a double wedding with Jane and Bingley and live happily ever after. (Alright it doesn't say it in those words, but that's the general idea.)
I love the scene between Lizzie and Lady Catherine! It really was a surprise the first time I read it. I guess one could guess it was coming from the letter from Mr. Collins, but they would have to be a good guesser. That scene is the prime example of the strong willed, independent Lizzie. While you despise Lady Catherine, she did turn out to be essential in Darcy and Lizzie uniting. It's to be wondered if Darcy would have ever made another offer if he hadn't gained the hope he did from hearing of his aunt's discussion with Lizzie.
I wish their was more actual dialogue during the second proposal, but that's just Austen's way of writing. It does leave more up to the imagination which is nice. It's one of the few big things in the book that you know are about to happen. The first proposal, the letter about Lydia, and Lady Catherine's visit come out of nowhere (besides all the foreshadowing), but you know that something is going to go down on this walk when they leave the house.
Jane and Bingley's happiness is all you can wish for them. They getting together is one of those things that means there is goodness in the world. While Darcy and Lizzie are the exciting couple, Jane and Bingley are just as good a match for each other and their love is so sweet. They didn't care about social status and such. They just wanted to be together. Lizzie and Darcy separated themselves from each other by choice; Jane and Bingley were schemed against and forced to be apart against their will. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total Darcy fan, but you have to love Bingley for his willingness to love, even though he was look down on by society. Oh yes Darcy loved, but most unwillingly at first. Darcy is always praised for his struggle, but Bingley never even had a struggle. Shouldn't he be recommended for that?
Now I feel like a total traitor. I'm a true Darcy girl, but I thing the above is a valid point.
