“I have been thkg it over aga,Elizabeth,”said her uncle,as they drove from the town;“and really,upon serious consideration, I am much more cled than I was to judge as your eldest sister does on the matter. It appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should form such a design agast a girl who is by no means unprotected or friendless,and who was actually stayg his colonel''s family,that I am strongly cled to hope the best. Could he expect that her friends would not step forward?Could he expect to be noticed aga by the regiment,after such an affront to Colonel Forster?His temptation is not adequate to the risk!”
“Do you really thk so?”cried Elizabeth,brighteng up for a moment.
“Upon my word,”said Mrs. Garder,“I beg to be of your uncle''s opion. It is really too great a violation of decency, honour,and terest,for him to be guilty of it.I cannot thk so very ill of Wickham.Can you yourself,Lizzy,so wholly give him up,as to believe him capable of it?”
“Not,perhaps,of neglectg his own terest;but of every other neglect I can believe him capable.If,deed,it should be so!But I dare not hope it.Why should they not go on to Scotland if that had been the case?”
“In the first place,”replied Mr.Garder,“there is no absolute proof that they are not gone to Scotland.”
“Oh!but their removg from the chaise to a hackney coach is such a presumption!And,besides,no traces of them were to be found on the Barnet road.”
“Well, then—supposg them to be London. They may be there, though for the purpose of concealment, for no more exceptional purpose. It is not likely that money should be very abundant on either side;and it might strike them that they could be more economically, though less expeditiously, married London than Scotland.”
