The whole party were hopes of a letter from Mr.Bennet the next morng,but the post came without brgg a sgle le from him.His family knew him to be,on all common occasions, a most negligent and dilatory correspondent;but at such a time they had hoped for exertion.They were forced to conclude that he had no pleasg telligence to send; but even of that they would have been glad to be certa.Mr.Garder had waited only for the letters before he set off.
When he was gone, they were certa at least of receivg constant formation of what was gog on, and their uncle promised, at partg, to prevail on Mr. Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could,to the great consolation of his sister,who considered it as the only security for her husband''s not beg killed a duel.
Mrs.Garder and the children were to rema Hertfordshire a few days longer, as the former thought her presence might be serviceable to her nieces. She shared their attendance on Mrs. Bennet, and was a great comfort to them their hours of freedom.Their other aunt also visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of cheerg and hearteng them up—though, as she never came without reportg some fresh stance of Wickham''s extravagance or irregularity, she seldom went away without leavg them more dispirited than she found them.

Mr. Garder left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his wife received a letter from him;it told them that,on his arrival,he had immediately found out his brother,and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street;that Mr.Bennet had been to Epsom and Clapham,before his arrival,but without gag any satisfactory formation; and that he was now determed to quire at all the prcipal hotels town, as Mr. Bennet thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first comg to London,before they procured lodggs.Mr.Garder himself did not expect any success from this measure,but as his brother was eager it,he meant to assist him pursug it.He added that Mr.Bennet seemed wholly discled at present to leave London and promised to write aga very soon.There was also a post to this effect:
