The following is the excerpt from Caroline's letter:
"I do not pretend to regret anything I shall leave in Hertfordshire, except your society, my dearest friend; but we will hope, at some future period, to enjoy many returns of that delightful intercourse we have known, and in the meanwhile may lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved correspondence. I depend on you for that."
Jane feels that Caroline is kindly trying to put her on her guard. She believes Mr. Bingley must have an interest in Miss Darcy, and wants Jane to be warned so that Jane does not get hurt.
Lizzy believes that Caroline is manipulating Jane. She feels that the information regarding Miss Darcy is false and meant to make Jane give up hope on Mr. Bingley. She also feels that Caroline will want to get Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy together so that there is a better chance Caroline might win Mr. Darcy. As we learn, Lizzy is the more accurate reader of this letter.
