Lydia elopes?!
When I arrived back at the inn, I found to letters from Jane. The first explained that Lydia and Wickham had eloped, the second that there had been nothing from the couple and they might not be yet married. I quickly realized that if the two were not wed, both Lydia and my entire families' reputation would be shattered. While looking for the Gardiners, I ran into Darcy and hurriedly told him what happened. Both of us felt as though it was our fault for not exposing Wickham when we had the chance. After apologizing for being unable to attend dinner with the Darcys, the Gardiners and I left to return home.

I hope that Lydia will make the right decision for the Bennet family and come to her senses though I am glad that you two were able to agree with each other on the issue!
ReplyDeleteLydia takes after her mother in the area of common sense. She is foolish and close-minded. She does not realize the embarrassment she could have caused her family. The Bennet reputation could have been ruined. But because of my love for you, Elizabeth, I paid off all of Wickham's debts to assure the marriage would happen.
