There
was
no
one
,
therefore
,
who
could
be
pointed
out
as
likely
to
give
any
news
of
him
.
And
in
the
wretched
state
of
his
own
finances
,
there
was
a
very
powerful
motive
for
secrecy
,
in
addition
to
his
fear
of
discovery
by
Lydia
's
relations
,
for
it
had
just
transpired
that
he
had
left
gaming
debts
behind
him
to
a
very
considerable
amount
.
Colonel
Forster
believed
that
more
than
a
thousand
pounds
would
be
necessary
to
clear
his
expenses
at
Brighton
.
He
owed
a
good
deal
in
town
,
but
his
debts
of
honour
were
still
more
formidable
.
Mr.
Gardiner
did
not
attempt
to
conceal
these
particulars
from
the
Longbourn
family
.
Jane
heard
them
with
horror
.
"
A
gamester
!
"
she
cried
.
"
This
is
wholly
unexpected
.
I
had
not
an
idea
of
it
.
"
Mr.
Gardiner
added
in
his
letter
,
that
they
might
expect
to
see
their
father
at
home
on
the
following
day
,
which
was
Saturday
.
Rendered
spiritless
by
the
ill-success
of
all
their
endeavours
,
he
had
yielded
to
his
brother-in-law
's
entreaty
that
he
would
return
to
his
family
,
and
leave
it
to
him
to
do
whatever
occasion
might
suggest
to
be
advisable
for
continuing
their
pursuit
.
When
Mrs.
Bennet
was
told
of
this
,
she
did
not
express
so
much
satisfaction
as
her
children
expected
,
considering
what
her
anxiety
for
his
life
had
been
before
.
"
What
,
is
he
coming
home
,
and
without
poor
Lydia
?
"
she
cried
.
"
Sure
he
will
not
leave
London
before
he
has
found
them
.
Who
is
to
fight
Wickham
,
and
make
him
marry
her
,
if
he
comes
away
?
"
As
Mrs.
Gardiner
began
to
wish
to
be
at
home
,
it
was
settled
that
she
and
the
children
should
go
to
London
,
at
the
same
time
that
Mr.
Bennet
came
from
it
.
The
coach
,
therefore
,
took
them
the
first
stage
of
their
journey
,
and
brought
its
master
back
to
Longbourn
.
Mrs.
Gardiner
went
away
in
all
the
perplexity
about
Elizabeth
and
her
Derbyshire
friend
that
had
attended
her
from
that
part
of
the
world
.
His
name
had
never
been
voluntarily
mentioned
before
them
by
her
niece
;
and
the
kind
of
half-expectation
which
Mrs.
Gardiner
had
formed
,
of
their
being
followed
by
a
letter
from
him
,
had
ended
in
nothing
.
Elizabeth
had
received
none
since
her
return
that
could
come
from
Pemberley
.
The
present
unhappy
state
of
the
family
rendered
any
other
excuse
for
the
lowness
of
her
spirits
unnecessary
;
nothing
,
therefore
,
could
be
fairly
conjectured
from
that
,
though
Elizabeth
,
who
was
by
this
time
tolerably
well
acquainted
with
her
own
feelings
,
was
perfectly
aware
that
,
had
she
known
nothing
of
Darcy
,
she
could
have
borne
the
dread
of
Lydia
's
infamy
somewhat
better
.
It
would
have
spared
her
,
she
thought
,
one
sleepless
night
out
of
two
.
When
Mr.
Bennet
arrived
,
he
had
all
the
appearance
of
his
usual
philosophic
composure
.
He
said
as
little
as
he
had
ever
been
in
the
habit
of
saying
;
made
no
mention
of
the
business
that
had
taken
him
away
,
and
it
was
some
time
before
his
daughters
had
courage
to
speak
of
it
.
It
was
not
till
the
afternoon
,
when
he
had
joined
them
at
tea
,
that
Elizabeth
ventured
to
introduce
the
subject
;
and
then
,
on
her
briefly
expressing
her
sorrow
for
what
he
must
have
endured
,
he
replied
,
"
Say
nothing
of
that
.
Who
should
suffer
but
myself
?
It
has
been
my
own
doing
,
and
I
ought
to
feel
it
.
"
"
You
must
not
be
too
severe
upon
yourself
,
"
replied
Elizabeth
.
