“They met aga 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 obstate. I fancy, Lizzy,that obstacy 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.Nothg 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 nothg 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 it deserved.But at last your uncle was forced to yield, and stead of beg allowed to be of use to his niece,was forced to put up with only havg the probable credit of it,which went sorely agast the gra;and I really believe your letter this morng 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.
“You know pretty well,I suppose,what has been done for the young people.His debts are to be paid,amountg,I believe,to considerably more than a thousand pounds, another thousand addition to her own settled upon her, and his commission purchased.The reason why all this was to be done by him alone, was such as I have given above.It was owg to him,to his reserve and want of proper consideration, that Wickham''s character had been so misunderstood,and consequently that he had been received and noticed as he was.Perhaps there was some truth this;though I doubt whether his reserve,or anybody''s reserve,can be answerable for the event.But spite of all this fe talkg, my dear Lizzy, you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would never have yielded, if we had not given him credit for another terest the affair.
“When all this was resolved on,he returned aga to his friends, who were still stayg at Pemberley; but it was agreed that he should be London once more when the weddg took place, and all money matters were then to receive the last fish.
“I believe I have now told you every thg.It is a relation which you tell me is to give you great surprise;I hope at least it will not afford you any displeasure.Lydia came to us;and Wickham had constant admission to the house. He was exactly what he had been,when I knew him Hertfordshire;but I would not tell you how little I was satisfied with her behaviour while she stayed with us,if I had not perceived,by Jane''s letter last Wednesday, that her conduct on comg home was exactly of a piece with it, and therefore what I now tell you can give you no fresh pa. I talked to her repeatedly the most serious manner,representg to her all the wickedness of what she had done, and all the unhappess she had brought on her family.If she heard me, it was by good luck, for I am sure she did not listen. I was sometimes quite provoked, but then I recollected my dear Elizabeth and Jane,and for their sakes had patience with her.
