Onemorning,soonaftertheirarrival,asshewassittingwithhertwoeldersisters,shesaidtoElizabeth:
“Lizzy,Inevergaveyouanaccountofmywedding,Ibelieve。Youwerenotby,whenItoldmammaandtheothersallaboutit。Arenotyoucurioustohearhowitwasmanaged?”
“Noreally,”repliedElizabeth;“Ithinktherecannotbetoolittlesaidonthesubject。”
“La!Youaresostrange!ButImusttellyouhowitwentoff。Weweremarried,youknow,atSt。Clements,becauseWickhamslodgingswereinthatparish。Anditwassettledthatweshouldallbetherebyelevenoclock。MyuncleandauntandIweretogotogether;andtheothersweretomeetusatthechurch。

“Mr。Darcy!”repeatedElizabeth,inutteramazement。
“Oh,yes!—hewastocometherewithWickham,youknow。Butgraciousme!Iquiteforgot!Ioughtnottohavesaidawordaboutit。Ipromisedthemsofaithfully!WhatwillWickhamsay?Itwastobesuchasecret!”
“Ifitwastobesecret,”saidJane,“saynotanotherwordonthesubject。Youmaydependuponmyseekingnofurther。”
“Oh!certainly,”saidElizabeth,thoughburningwithcuriosity;“wewillaskyounoquestions。”
“Thankyou,”saidLydia,“forifyoudid,Ishouldcertainlytellyouall,andthenWickhamwouldbeangry。”
Onsuchencouragementtoask,Elizabethwasforcedtoputitoutofherpower,byrunningaway。
Buttoliveinignoranceonsuchapointwasimpossible;oratleastitwasimpossiblenottotryforinformation。Mr。Darcyhadbeenathersisterswedding。Itwasexactlyascene,andexactlyamongpeople,wherehehadapparentlyleasttodo,andleasttemptationtogo。Conjecturesastothemeaningofit,rapidandwild,hurriedintoherbrain;butshewassatisfiedwithnone。Thosethatbestpleasedher,asplacinghisconductinthenoblestlight,seemedmostimprobable。Shecouldnotbearsuchsuspense;andhastilyseizingasheetofpaper,wroteashortlettertoheraunt,torequestanexplanationofwhatLydiahaddropped,ifitwerecompatiblewiththesecrecywhichhadbeenintended。
“Youmayreadilycomprehend,”sheadded,“whatmycuriositymustbetoknowhowapersonunconnectedwithanyofus,and(comparativelyspeaking)astrangertoourfamily,shouldhavebeenamongstyouatsuchatime。Praywriteinstantly,andletmeunderstandit—unlessitis,forverycogentreasons,toremaininthesecrecywhichLydiaseemstothinknecessary;andthenImustendeavourtobesatisfiedwithignorance。”
