“I wish you joy. If you love Mr. Darcy half as well as I do my dear Wickham,you must be very happy.It is a great comfort to have you so rich,and when you have nothing else to do,I hope you will think of us. I am sure Wickham would like a place at court very much,and I do not think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help.Any place would do,of about three or four hundred a year;but however,do not speak to Mr.Darcy about it,if you had rather not.
“My Dear Lizzy,
Though Darcy could never receive him at Pemberley, yet, for Elizabeth's sake,he assisted him further in his profession.Lydia was occasionally a visitor there, when her husband was gone to enjoy himself in London or Bath; and with the Bingleys they both of them frequently stayed so long,that even Bingley's good humour was overcome,and he proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.
With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.
