The
motive
professed
was
his
conviction
of
its
being
owing
to
himself
that
Wickham
's
worthlessness
had
not
been
so
well
known
as
to
make
it
impossible
for
any
young
woman
of
character
to
love
or
confide
in
him
.
He
generously
imputed
the
whole
to
his
mistaken
pride
,
and
confessed
that
he
had
before
thought
it
beneath
him
to
lay
his
private
actions
open
to
the
world
.
His
character
was
to
speak
for
itself
.
He
called
it
,
therefore
,
his
duty
to
step
forward
,
and
endeavour
to
remedy
an
evil
which
had
been
brought
on
by
himself
.
If
he
had
another
motive
,
I
am
sure
it
would
never
disgrace
him
.
He
had
been
some
days
in
town
,
before
he
was
able
to
discover
them
;
but
he
had
something
to
direct
his
search
,
which
was
more
than
we
had
;
and
the
consciousness
of
this
was
another
reason
for
his
resolving
to
follow
us
.
"
There
is
a
lady
,
it
seems
,
a
Mrs.
Younge
,
who
was
some
time
ago
governess
to
Miss
Darcy
,
and
was
dismissed
from
her
charge
on
some
cause
of
disapprobation
,
though
he
did
not
say
what
.
She
then
took
a
large
house
in
Edward-street
,
and
has
since
maintained
herself
by
letting
lodgings
.
This
Mrs.
Younge
was
,
he
knew
,
intimately
acquainted
with
Wickham
;
and
he
went
to
her
for
intelligence
of
him
as
soon
as
he
got
to
town
.
But
it
was
two
or
three
days
before
he
could
get
from
her
what
he
wanted
.
She
would
not
betray
her
trust
,
I
suppose
,
without
bribery
and
corruption
,
for
she
really
did
know
where
her
friend
was
to
be
found
.
Wickham
indeed
had
gone
to
her
on
their
first
arrival
in
London
,
and
had
she
been
able
to
receive
them
into
her
house
,
they
would
have
taken
up
their
abode
with
her
.
At
length
,
however
,
our
kind
friend
procured
the
wished-for
direction
.
They
were
in
--
--
street
.
He
saw
Wickham
,
and
afterwards
insisted
on
seeing
Lydia
.
His
first
object
with
her
,
he
acknowledged
,
had
been
to
persuade
her
to
quit
her
present
disgraceful
situation
,
and
return
to
her
friends
as
soon
as
they
could
be
prevailed
on
to
receive
her
,
offering
his
assistance
,
as
far
as
it
would
go
.
But
he
found
Lydia
absolutely
resolved
on
remaining
where
she
was
.
She
cared
for
none
of
her
friends
;
she
wanted
no
help
of
his
;
she
would
not
hear
of
leaving
Wickham
.
She
was
sure
they
should
be
married
some
time
or
other
,
and
it
did
not
much
signify
when
.
Since
such
were
her
feelings
,
it
only
remained
,
he
thought
,
to
secure
and
expedite
a
marriage
,
which
,
in
his
very
first
conversation
with
Wickham
,
he
easily
learnt
had
never
been
his
design
.
He
confessed
himself
obliged
to
leave
the
regiment
,
on
account
of
some
debts
of
honour
,
which
were
very
pressing
;
and
scrupled
not
to
lay
all
the
ill-consequences
of
Lydia
's
flight
on
her
own
folly
alone
.
He
meant
to
resign
his
commission
immediately
;
and
as
to
his
future
situation
,
he
could
conjecture
very
little
about
it
.
He
must
go
somewhere
,
but
he
did
not
know
where
,
and
he
knew
he
should
have
nothing
to
live
on
.
"
Mr.
Darcy
asked
him
why
he
had
not
married
your
sister
at
once
.
Though
Mr.
Bennet
was
not
imagined
to
be
very
rich
,
he
would
have
been
able
to
do
something
for
him
,
and
his
situation
must
have
been
benefited
by
marriage
.
But
he
found
,
in
reply
to
this
question
,
that
Wickham
still
cherished
the
hope
of
more
effectually
making
his
fortune
by
marriage
in
some
other
country
.
Under
such
circumstances
,
however
,
he
was
not
likely
to
be
proof
against
the
temptation
of
immediate
relief
.
"
They
met
several
times
,
for
there
was
much
to
be
discussed
.
Wickham
of
course
wanted
more
than
he
could
get
;
but
at
length
was
reduced
to
be
reasonable
.
"
Every
thing
being
settled
between
them
,
Mr.
Darcy
's
next
step
was
to
make
your
uncle
acquainted
with
it
,
and
he
first
called
in
Gracechurch
street
the
evening
before
I
came
home
.
But
Mr.
Gardiner
could
not
be
seen
,
and
Mr.
Darcy
found
,
on
further
inquiry
,
that
your
father
was
still
with
him
,
but
would
quit
town
the
next
morning
.
He
did
not
judge
your
father
to
be
a
person
whom
he
could
so
properly
consult
as
your
uncle
,
and
therefore
readily
postponed
seeing
him
till
after
the
departure
of
the
former
.
He
did
not
leave
his
name
,
and
till
the
next
day
it
was
only
known
that
a
gentleman
had
called
on
business
.
"
On
Saturday
he
came
again
.
Your
father
was
gone
,
your
uncle
at
home
,
and
,
as
I
said
before
,
they
had
a
great
deal
of
talk
together
.
"
They
met
again
on
Sunday
,
and
then
I
saw
him
too
.
It
was
not
all
settled
before
Monday
:
as
soon
as
it
was
,
the
express
was
sent
off
to
Longbourn
.
But
our
visitor
was
very
obstinate
.
I
fancy
,
Lizzy
,
that
obstinacy
is
the
real
defect
of
his
character
,
after
all
.
He
has
been
accused
of
many
faults
at
different
times
,
but
this
is
the
true
one
.
Nothing
was
to
be
done
that
he
did
not
do
himself
;
though
I
am
sure
(
and
I
do
not
speak
it
to
be
thanked
,
therefore
say
nothing
about
it
)
,
your
uncle
would
most
readily
have
settled
the
whole
.
"
They
battled
it
together
for
a
long
time
,
which
was
more
than
either
the
gentleman
or
lady
concerned
in
it
deserved
.
But
at
last
your
uncle
was
forced
to
yield
,
and
instead
of
being
allowed
to
be
of
use
to
his
niece
,
was
forced
to
put
up
with
only
having
the
probable
credit
of
it
,
which
went
sorely
against
the
grain
;
and
I
really
believe
your
letter
this
morning
gave
him
great
pleasure
,
because
it
required
an
explanation
that
would
rob
him
of
his
borrowed
feathers
,
and
give
the
praise
where
it
was
due
.
But
,
Lizzy
,
this
must
go
no
farther
than
yourself
,
or
Jane
at
most
.
