Your sweetness and disinterestedness are really angelic Written by Stephanie (5/2/2010 6:07 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Not really, penned by Adrian

I do not think Darcy convinced Bingley that sweet Jane was mercenary enough to accept a proposal to a man with whom she was not in love. Bingley probably thought Jane would refuse, not acquiesce and make him miserable.
