Double wedding = Happy ending

His arrogance

her bias

a mother’s vaulting ambition

a father's careless detachment

One of her sisters sweet and shy

another prone to moralising

third ignorant, idle and vain

youngest spoilt and reckless

Sidekick’s ball does not delight

heroine is slighted, later

her drenched sibling sickens

a proposal is refused

Intrigues and snubbery

falsehoods and manipulations 

hero writes letter righting wrongs

elopement violates social norms

Heroine refuses pompous proposal

hero clandestinely saves day

visitor to Longbourne promise denied 

double wedding = happy ending
