Mrs. Bennet.
[With a sigh of relief.] How providential!
Elizabeth.
[Looking back.] But I have brought someone else with me.
[Mr. Wickham and Charlotte Lucas come in gaily.]
All.
[Exclaiming.] Oh, Mr. Wickham!
Wickham.
[To Mrs. Bennet.] How do you do, Mrs. Bennet? This is indeed a pleasure. [Going over to Jane.] Miss Bennet, I am so glad to see you. [Reproachfully.] You were not with our party! [To Lydia.] Why do you never come to Meryton, Miss Lydia? Mr. Denny is quite downcast.
Lydia.
