    “I feel myself called upon,by our rtionship,and my situation in life, to dole with you on the grievous affli you are now suffering under, of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from Hertfordshire. Be assured, my dear sir, that Mrs. Collins and myself sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family,in your present distress,which must be of the bitterest kind, because proceeding from a cause whie  remove.Numents shall be wanting on my part that  alleviate so severe a misfortune—or that mayfort you,under a circumstahat must be of all others the most afflig to a parent's mind.The death of your daughter would have been a blessing inparison of this.And it is the more to bemented, because there is reason to suppose as my dear Charlotte informs me, that this litiousness of behaviour in your daughter has proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgehough, at the same time, for the stion of yourself and Mrs. Be, I am ined to think that her own disposition must be naturally bad, or she could not be guilty of su enormity, at so early an age. Howsoever that may be, yrievously to be pitied; in which opinion I am not only joined by Mrs. Collins,but likewise by Lady Catherine and her daughter, to whom I have rted the affair.They agree with me in apprehending that this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of all the others; for who, as Lady Catherine herself desdingly says,will ect themselves with such a family?And this sideration leads me moreover to reflect, with augmented satisfa,on a certai ofst November;for had it been otherwise,I must have been involved in all your sorrow and disgrace.Let me then advise you,dear sir,to sole yourself as much as possible, to throw off your unworthy child from your affe for ever,and leave her to reap the fruits of her own heinous offense.

    “I AM,DEAR SIR,ETC.,ETC.”

    Mr.Gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from el Forster; and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send. It was not known that Wickham had a siionship with whom he kept up any e, and it was certain that he had no near one living.His former acquaintances had been numerous;but since he had been in the militia,it did not appear that he was on terms of particr friendship with any of them.There was no oherefore,who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him.And in the wretched state of his own fihere was a very powerful motive for secrecy, in addition to his fear of discovery by Lydia's rtions,for it had just transpired that he had left gamis behind him to a very siderable amount. el Forster believed that more than a thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expe Brighton. He owed a good deal in town, but his debts of honour were still more formidable.Mr.Gardiner did not attempt to ceal these particrs from the Longbourn family. Jane heard them with horror.“A gamester!”she cried.“This is wholly ued.I had not an idea of it.”

    Mr.Gardiner added in his letter,that they might expect to see their father at home on the following day, which was Saturday. Rendered spiritless by the ill-sess of all their endeavours,he had yielded to his brother-inw's ey that he would return to his family,and leave it to him to do whatever asion might suggest to be advisable for tinuing their pursuit.When Mrs. Be was told of this,she did not express so much satisfa as her children expected,sidering what her ay for his life had been before.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
