Just get them married, papa. Never mind about punishing wickham. But how could lydia have don this?

That shameless girl! She would have eloped with anything in a uniform.
It’s our fault, mine especially. I had been warned about wickham. I could have saved her. We never bothered about the poor child except to criticize her.

I too am to blame- but my heart has it’s own bitterness
