I didn't persuade them; I haven't the means. It is all your uncle's doing. He has managed to buy Wickham for us.
Jane.
Oh, dear good uncle!
Mr. Bennet.
[Looks at Jane quizzically.] But there are two things that I want very much to know—one is how much money your uncle has laid down to bring it about, and the other, how I am ever to pay him.
Jane.
But my uncle did not do it all?
Elizabeth.
No, papa. My Aunt Gardiner has written me that you are to give Lydia an allowance.
Mr. Bennet.
