In Meryton Kitty and Lydia were just giving up the purpose of their travels when Mr. Denny stepped out from a shop with an officer they had not met before. The man had all the best part of beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure and very pleasing address. Lydia made headlong for them.

“No, Lydia we do not have time. Mama wants you to have enough time to dress to impress Mr. Darcy tonight. She thinks Miss Darcy was quite taken with you and would welcome you as a sister. Although, I think they both prefer Lizzy.”

“La! Why would I want a dull man like Mr. Darcy?” She grabbed Kitty by the hand and launched her the last few feet to the gentlemen.

“Mr. Denny! We had come into to town just to inquire after you!”

“As you see, Miss Lydia, I have returned in time to claim a set with you this evening!” He spoke to Lydia but her attention was already captured by his friend.

“Of course! What fun we shall have! And who is your friend?” Lydia fluttered her eyelashes coquettishly.

“Allow me to introduce Lieutenant George Wickham. Wickham, these fine ladies are Miss Catherine Bennet and Miss Lydia Bennet.”

George Wickham turned his most charming smile upon the young ladies. He had overheard their conversation and believed Hertfordshire would prove a most fruitful endeavour.
