[Pride and Prejudice] Dear Lydia

It is absolutely, absolutely impossible for Mr. Bennett to have even the slightest meaning for Charlotte. Lydia is absolutely sure of this. Then only Charlotte is discussing with Mr. Bennett about one thing he does not want to give. Things her mother knew.

I just analyzed it with Miss Mallard for a long time but couldn't figure out why. In the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that it might have something to do with Charlotte's husband, Mr. Collins.

Mr. Collins is the heir to the Longbourne property, and he and the Bennett family are not very harmonious, but there are always more or less connections.

While the two were talking, a maid brought Wickham into the lounge blushing, "Mr. Wickham is here."

"George, why are you here?" Lydia stood up and asked strangely, "Didn't you say you're going to Bath with Danny and the others today, and you won't be back in London until two days later?"

Wearing a blue coat, Mr. Wickham walked in with a cardboard box in his hand, "I have an appointment with Danny and the others to leave at twelve o'clock, and I will go back after sitting down for a while."

Handed the paper box in his hand to Lydia, "I heard that you are going to the dance tomorrow night, so I sent this here in advance."

Inside the carton was a beautiful dress with a puffy skirt of twirling muslin tiered and tiered, a shiny satin belt in the same color, and the most fashionable lace on the neckline and sleeves.

Lydia opened her mouth slightly in surprise, "George, did you buy me a new dress? It's so beautiful, thank you! You are really good at pleasing women,... No wonder... No wonder 'I' was willing to be with you in the first place. You eloped..."

Although the last sentence was only whispered, Wickham who was standing nearby still heard her words, and felt that her words were a bit nondescript, and it was difficult to communicate in front of Miss Mallard, so he just smiled and said nothing.

He has always been undisciplined, he will spend a lot of money if he has money, and he is very generous to himself and the women around him. These days, he suddenly found that Lydia is not as fond of dressing up as before. He comes and goes just a few skirts in exchange, So when buying new clothes for herself, she also ordered one for Lydia.

Mr. Wickham is very talented in pleasing women. He can make the other party dizzy by doing anything casually. Although Lydia is not dizzy at this time, it is very useful, and she praised Wickham with a smile.

"Honey, as long as you like it." Mr. Wickham smiled, inexplicably different from the sense of satisfaction after pleasing other women.

But this comforting feeling was not enough to keep him, and Wickham said a few words to Lydia and Miss Mallard, and then left.

The next evening Mr. Pitt gave a little dance at his house, to whom he invited some very close friends, and some relations who happened to be in London.

Although Lydia felt that she didn't need to spend her time on dressing up, everyone had a love for beauty. Someone sent her a new dress for the dance, so there was no reason not to waste it, so she was happy Dressed head-to-head, and because the new dress was elegant in style and bright in color, she dressed up carefully in order to dress appropriately, and asked the barber to trim her hair in advance, and also matched with new hair accessories that matched the color of the dress.

As a young woman who was already pretty, after careful dressing up, her eight-point beauty turned into a ten-point beauty. At the ball that night, Lydia unexpectedly became the second most beautiful woman after Baroness Moran Miss Walter and several other female guests were compared.

"Oh, my dear Lydia, you are getting more and more beautiful!" As soon as Lydia entered the ballroom, she was praised by Mrs. Walter who just came to meet her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Walter, you're over the top. I just changed into a dress with a newer color and style." Lydia humbled herself.

Mrs. Walter took her hand, "You have to look good yourself, and the clothes can play such a good foil."

The two of them didn't chat for a few words, and Miss Walter brought a very handsome young man over to introduce Lydia. She said that it was Mr. Grenville, the youngest son of the Earl of Temple. Courteously ask Mrs. Wickham to do the first two dances with him.

Mrs. Walter squeezed Lydia's hand lovingly, and quietly told her with a smile to go to the dance and seize the opportunity to have a good night.

Lydia danced twice with Mr. Grenville, and she was soon invited by a cousin of Mr. Pitt's, both of whom had been to a party given by Mr. Pitt at Netherfield in March, and were having an affair. Knowing that this beautiful young lady is the rumored Mrs. Wickham who is very good at playing billiards, they were all very happy. They talked a lot about playing billiards and danced happily.

At the beginning, Lydia was all focused on dancing and talking with the two new gentlemen, and had no time to care about other things. It was not until the break after a few dances that she remembered: her former "hardcore dance partner" Walter Jr. Why is there no movement today, sir?

Even if they don't have to spend the whole night around themselves like before, the relationship between the two of them is so familiar, it's always appropriate to come up to say hello and dance together.

Just as he was about to look for Mr. Walter Jr. in the lively dance hall, Mr. Pete came over and bowed slightly reservedly, "Mrs. Wickham, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance the next Brownie dance?"

"Of course, I'm honored." Lydia nodded, "But have you seen Mr. Fred Walter?"

Mr. Pitt joked amiably, "Mrs. Wickham, I just asked you to dance, and you can't wait to ask about other men. It's so shocking."

Lydia smiled, "Forgive me, but the reason I did this is because I know I won't hit you, Mr. Pete, no one knows your 'magnanimity' better than me..." When talking about generosity, I deliberately emphasized the tone. I wanted to make fun of the other party, but I didn't want to glance at the Walter brothers and sisters sitting not far away. The faces of the two were very strange, very dignified and worried. Saying something, seeing Lydia looking over, she avoided her eyes at the same time.

Lydia was taken aback for a moment, and what she wanted to say to Mr. Pete was interrupted later.

Mr. Pitt followed her eyes and raised his eyebrows. "Oh, Mr. Walter Jr. is over there, but I think you should dance with me before going to him."

After seeing the unnatural expressions of the two, Lydia felt a bad feeling in her heart, and felt that it was not suitable for her to talk to the pair of brothers and sisters with strange expressions now, "Don't worry, sir, I don't want to Would be so rude and of course go talk to someone after dancing with you."

Mr. Pete, "I have another suggestion—don't go to Mr. Walter Jr. after you dance with me."

"why?"

"Because there is another person here who needs you to greet him. If you haven't gone to say hello to him after dancing with three people, I'm afraid you will really be rude."

"I don't know who you are referring to? The guests tonight should all be your friends. I don't think which one is so important to me."

"It's your brother-in-law, Mr. Darcy. When you danced with Mr. Grenville, he watched sullenly for a long time. When you danced with my cousin, he simply walked away." Mr. Pete said leisurely. answer.

"Oh, you did it on purpose, couldn't you tell me earlier!" Lydia was speechless about Mr. Pete's mischievous taste. Although this gentleman has been nice to her recently and has a normal attitude towards her, he just loves to tease her from time to time. It seems that this is the most normal way to get along with her.

"However, I didn't know that my brother-in-law, Mr. Darcy, came to London." Lydia felt quite surprised afterwards, she only received a letter from her mother in the morning, except that Mr. Bingley was going back to Longbourne soon. There was no further news of the other brother-in-law, and she thought that Darcy and Elizabeth were living comfortably in Longbourne at the moment, enjoying the world of two.

"Because his coming to London is a temporary decision." Mr. Pitt added, seeing Lydia's puzzled look at him, and explained, "Mr. Darcy just arrived yesterday. When I happened to meet him at Mr. Morse's, he said to himself of."
