The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin
Society & Culture
Lydia and Wickham visit Longbourn. Lydia is in a new bride state of bliss - oblivious to any trouble she has caused, bragging, and getting anyone she can to call her Mrs. Wickham. Elizabeth observes that Wickham does in fact return affection for Lydia.
When regaling the details of her wedding to Elizabeth, Lydia lets it slip that Darcy was in attendance. She immediately apologizes - saying she was meant to keep that bit a secret. Wanting to know more, Elizabeth writes to her aunt for more information.
Mrs. Gadiner’s return letter confirms Lizzie’s fear and hope that Mr. Darcy was the one to find the couple and then paid Wickham the large sum of money, but asked Mr. Gardiner to take credit. Darcy claims it’s because he feels guilty for not speaking of Wickham’s manners sooner, but Mrs. Gardiner thinks there is another reason as well, then makes note of how lovely a man Darcy is.
