Playing the Role of a Mother

Things have been quite hectic around here in Longbourn.  There has been much worry upon my mother and father about Lydia and Wickham. My sweet mother has turned completely ill and distant since this event, which leaves it all to me to look about the house. Its not all that terrible seeing as Elizabeth is here to alleviate some of the stress. Although Kitty tells me that she saw it coming and I could believe the lack of interest she had on the subject.
