The whole party were in hopes of a letter from Mr.Be the m,but the post came in without bringing a single line from him.His family knew him to be,on allmon asions, a most negligent and dtory correspo;but at such a time they had hoped for exertion.They were forced to clude that he had no pleasing intelligeo send; but even of that they would have been d to be certain.Mr.Gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off.
When he was gohey were certain at least of receiving stant information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting, to prevail on Mr. Be to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could,to the great stion of his sister,who sidered it as the only security for her husband's not being killed in a duel.
Mrs.Gardiner and the childreo remain ifordshire a few days longer, as the former thought her presence might be serviceable to her nieces. She shared in their attendanrs. Be, and was a greatfort to them in their hours of freedom.Their other aunt also visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of cheering aening them up—though, as she never came without rep some fresh instance of Wickham's extravagance rity, she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found them.
All Meryton seemed striving to the man who, but three months before,had been almost an angel of light.He was dered to be io every tradesman in the ce, and his intrigues, all honoured with the title of sedu, had beeended into every tradesman's family.Everybody dered that he was the wickedest young man in the world; and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the appearance of his goodness.Elizabeth,though she did not credit above half of what was said,believed enough to make her former assurance of her sister's ruin more certain;and even Jane,who believed still less of it, became almost hopeless, more especially as the time was nowe when,if they had goo Sd,which she had never before entirely despaired of, they must in all probability have gained some news of them.
Mr. Gardiner 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 toe to Gracechurch Street;that Mr.Be had been to Epsom and pham,before his arrival,but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now determio inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as Mr. Be thought it possible they might have goo one of them, on their firsting to London,before they procured lodgings.Mr.Gardiner himself did not expey sess from this measure,but as his brother was eager in it,he meant to assist him in pursuing it.He added that Mr.Be seemed wholly disined at present to leave London and promised to write again very soon.There was also a post to this effect:
“I have written to el Forster to desire him to find out,if possible,from some of the young man's intimates in the regiment, whether Wickham has any rtions or es who would be likely to know in art of town he has now cealed himself. If there were ahat one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a clue as that,it might be of essential seque present we have nothing to guide us. el Forster will, I dare say,do everything in his power to satisfy us on this head.But, on sed thoughts,perhaps,Lizzy could tell us what rtions he has now livier than any other person.”
Elizabeth was at no loss to uand from whehis defereo her authority proceeded; but it was not in her power to give any information of so satisfactory a nature as thepliment deserved.
She had never heard of his having had any rtions, except a father and mother,both of whom had been dead many years.It ossible,however,that some of hispanions in the—shire might be able to give more information;and though she was not very sanguine in expeg it,the application was a something to look forward to.
Every day at Longbourn was now a day of ay;but the most anxious part of each was when the post was expected.The arrival of letters was the first grand object of every m's impatiehrough letters,whatever of good or bad was to be told would bemunicated,and every seeding day was expected t some news of importance.
But before they heard again frardiner,a letter arrived for their father,from a different quarter,from Mr.Collins;which, as Jane had received dires to open all that came for him in his absence,she ly read;and Elizabeth,who knew what curiosities his letters always were, looked over her, and read it likewise.It was as follows:
