Mr. Darcy visits our family in Longbourn

Today, Mr. Darcy visited me at Longbourn with my family, and both of us had a conversation about the current situation of Lydia and Mr. Wickham. He informed me that Wickham would never marry my sister, as when his own sister, Georgiana, was fifteen, Wickham attempted to elope with her. I am still extremely wary of Mr. Darcy, as I am not sure what to expect of such a man. I am not sure what to think towards him, as I believe I may love him, but I shall bury those thoughts for I shall never see him again.

My sister’s elopement will affect not just her, but the whole family.

We shall never again be able to attend the upper class balls, or be present anywhere near any of those places. I do not understand why Lydia has done what she’s done. I believe she may have been too caught up in the idea of love, and therefore did not think of how her actions would affect all of us, including herself. She did not observe the consequences, and this means that our family will be looked down upon.

Neither her, nor Wickham will be able to inherit part of Fathers property as they are not properly married and the property is entailed, so Wickham will be unable to inherit it without a proper marriage.

What shall we do? Father must find her, and I hope he does find both of them soon.

Arrival

I have just returned home from the Gardiners’ and as I feared, my family is not taking the news well. Mother is very distressed, and Jane has told me that Father is visiting our Aunt and Uncle in London and shall remain there for about a week. My Uncle and him shall conduct a search for Lydia and Mr. Wickham, as we believe them to be hiding somewhere in London at the current moment.

As yet, we have not recieved any word from either Lydia or Mr. Wickham. We hope that Lydia is alright. I shall keep you informed about the current happenings.

Back to Longbourn

The Gardiners’ and I have just returned home from the church. I have informed them of my families’ desire to return home, and they have agreed to let me depart this evening. Mr. Darcy has arrived, and I have informed him that I will return home to Longbourn this evening.

I hope that my family is all well, especially with this troubling news looming over them.
