In a letter to Mrs. Gardiner Elizabeth relates that Mr. Wickham's affections for her have subsided and have been transferred to another young lady, Miss King, who recently acquired 10,000 pounds. Elizabeth concludes that she must not have been in love with him, because her feelings are still cordial toward him. The tone is a little biting and chiding at Wickham's expense. I like the letter because Elizabeth has great wit and this comes across in her writing especially. When we read her letters, we think of Elizabeth.
