Reaction to my Happiness

My dear mother was so pleased to hear of the news! My whole family was so happy for me; I felt so horrid for being the center of the attention! It was soon clear that my lovely mother had forgotten all about my littlest sister Lydia and Wickham! I overheard Kitty telling Mary that I was beyond them! She called me mother's favorite though it had been well known Lydia had always been mother's choice before this. It has made me so selfishly pleased! I feel so ugly and cruel simply thinking about it! But the joy it brings me!
Adding to this, from the moment my little sisters heard the news, they begged for something. Kitty asked to be able to use his library in the near future while Kitty begged for a few balls there in the winter. I will do my best to be able to do this for them. They deserve all I can give them because I owe my family so much for the happiness they have given me!
How I love my dear Mr. Bingley! He is too wonderful for me, and I am still waiting to wake up from this wonderful dream! I do hope this is not a dream, but I do not want to be disappointed if it is. Oh I wish all of my sisters as much happiness in marriage that I have been blessed with!
