“It was greatly my wish that he should do so,”he added,“as soon as his marriage was fixed on.And I think you will agree with me, in sidering the removal from that corps as highly advisable,both on his ount and my niece's.It is Mr.Wickham's iion to go into the regrs;and among his former friends,there are still some who are able and willing to assist him in the army. He has the promise of an ensign General—'s regiment, now quartered in the North. It is an advao have it so far from this part of the kingdom.He promises fairly;and I hope among different people, where they may each have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent. I have written to el Forster, to inform him of our present arras, and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of Mr.Wickham in and near Brighton,with assurances of speedy payment, for which I have pledged myself.And will you give yourself the trouble of carrying simr assurao his creditors ion, of whom I shall subjoin a list to his information?He has given in all his debts;I hope at least he has not deceived us. Haggerston has our dires, and all will bepleted in a week.They will then join his regiment, uhey are first io Longbourn;and I uand frardihat my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she leaves the South.She is well,ao be dutifully remembered to you and your mother.—Yours,etc.,
“E.GARDINER.”
Mr. Be and his daughters saw all the advantages of Wickham's removal from the—shire as clearly as Mr. Gardiner could do.But Mrs.Be was not so well pleased with it.Lydia's beiled in the North, just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in herpany, for she had by no means given up her n of their residing ifordshire,was a severe disappoi; and, besides, it was such a pity that Lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted with everybody,and had so many favourites.
“She is so fond of Mrs. Forster,”said she,“it will be quite shog to send her away!And there are several of the youoo, that she likes very much.The officers may not be so pleasant in General—'s regiment.”
His daughter's request,for such it might be sidered,of being admitted into her family again before she set off for the North, received at first an absolute ive. But Jane and Elizabeth, who agreed in wishing,for the sake of their sister's feelings and sequehat she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents, urged him so early yet so rationally and so mildly, to receive her and her husband at Longbourn, as soon as they were married,that he revailed on to think as they thought, and act as they wished.And their mother had the satisfa of knowing that she would be able to show her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was bao the North. When Mr.Be wrote again to his brother,therefore,he sent his permission for them toe;and it was settled,that as soon as the ceremony was over, they should proceed to Longbourn. Elizabeth was surprised,however,that Wickham should sent to such a scheme,and had she sulted only her own ination, aing with him would have bee object of her wishes.飘天文学小说阅读_www.piaotianx.com
