Best Answer

Mr. Bennet has gone to London to find Lydia and Wickham. When he does, Mrs. Bennet believes Mr. Bennet will do all he can to force Wickham to marry Lydia. She believes this will necessarily entail a duel, and that Wickham, a much younger and more experienced man, will kill Mr. Bennet. When that happens, Mrs. Bennet fears, Mr. Collins will immediately descend on Longbourne to claim it for himself and throw the Bennets out. That being the case, she fears they will all wind up sleeping in hedgerows. Such are the quality of Mrs. Bennet's thoughts.

What arrangements are made concerning Lydia?

Darcy makes Wickham agree to marry Lydia. He repays a large chunk of Wickham's debts but arranges for Mr. Bennett to pay the debts to the shopkeepers in Meryton. Darcy also pays someone money so that Wickham can get out of the volunteer militia regiment he had joined that put him in contact with the Bennett sisters. He then enters the regular army and is stationed in the north of England, away from Hertfordshire. Finally, because Wickham has no annual income and no money Lydia to inherit should he die before her, Mr. Bennett has to agree that Lydia will still get the 1/5 of Mr. Bennett's estate after his death. Mr. Bennett is also asked to provide her an annual personal income of 100 pounds/year (a tiny amount, really) for her living expenses.
