☆☆☆☆☆Chapter 3
Lady Catherine De Bourgh owned it and later married Mr Collins.
Darcy and Wickham had history. They had been raised together, and Darcy learned to distrust Wickham because of his bad habits, such as gambling. Wickham was to inherit a position on Darcy's estate, but asked to take money instead, which he was given. After he gambled this away, he came back for more, which was refused. He then tried to elope with Darcy's sister, and almost succeeded.
In the book, they clearly do not want to be near each other. Wickham tells lies to Elizabeth and others about their connection, and Elizabeth takes sides without close examination of the truth. Later, when Darcy has reason to defend his honor on the subject, he sets the record straight, convincing Elizabeth of the truth.
When Wickham elopes with Elizabeth's sister, Lydia, Darcy hunts them down and bribes Wickham to marry her for the sake of the honor of the family, to ease Elizabeth's pain on the subject. This is expensive, as it means purchasing an army commission, paying off Wickham's debts, and providing some amount of cash.
Pemberley is the estate owned by Mr. Darcy
Elizabeth and Darcy meet at Pemberley several weeks after Darcy proposed to Elizabeth. Darcy is happy to see her, he invites her family over for tea and fishing hoping he can convince Elizabeth to marry him. Elizabeth is happy but embarrassed to see him. Elizabeth had previously believed that Darcy had done evil things, but had since learned otherwise and felt guilty of admonishing him during his proposal.
Caroline Bingley did not want her brother Charles Bingley to marry Jane Bennet. There were at least two reasons for this.
First, the Bingley sisters wanted to elevate their family, which had made its money in trade, to what they regarded as a higher social status, landed gentry. A marriage between Bingley and Jane Bennet would have been to landed gentry, but of a low sort that was intermarried with merchants and attorneys, just the sorts of people they wanted to avoid.
Second, she rightly guessed that Darcy was strongly attracted to Elizabeth Bennet, and wanted to keep them separated. A marriage between Bingley and Jane would have tended to put them together more often because Darcy was Bingley's closest friend and Elizabeth was Jane's sister. Caroline Bingley wanted Darcy for herself.
sense and sensibility is like pride and prejudice .
A Valley
Lydia would not have eloped with George Wickham if she was not convinced that he wanted to get married.
The relationship is that they absolutely hate each other because George keeps running off with Darcy's little sister (poor woman) she was 15!
Mr.Bennet blames himself for Lydia's elopement because he thinks that he has been ignoring his duty as a father and has not been taking proper care of his daughters.
sanctioned
They are both shocked and displeased. Mr Darcy practically ignores Wickham, while the latter endeavours to give the impression that HE is the victim and that HE has no reason to avoid Darcy.
