- Mr Wickham
- First Impression
- 'Most gentleman- like appearance'
- 'His appearance was greatly in his favour'
- 'The best part of beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure and very pleasing address'
- 'Happy readiness of conversation'
- 'Perfectly correct and unassuming'
- The Elopement
- 'Banished to the North'
- 'When Wickham and Lydia could be forgotten'
- 'She was gone off with one of the officers; to own truth, with Wickham!'
- 'To Kitty, however, it did not seem wholly unexpected'
- 'His choice is disinterested at least, for he must know my father can give her nothing'
- 'I cannot think ill of him'
- 'Never, since reading Jane's second letter, had she entertained a hope of Wickham's meaning to marry her'
- 'Wickham will never marry a woman without some money'
- 'And we all know that Wickham has every charm of person and address that can captivate a woman'
- 'And we both know he has been profligate in every sense of the word'
- 'Invectives against the villainous conduct of Wickham'
- 'She never came without reporting some fresh instance of Wickham's extravagance or irregularity'
- 'Passions were stronger than their virtue'
- 'When they each have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent'
- Darcy behaves oddly to him
- 'Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red'
- 'After a few moments, touched his hat, a salutation which Mr Darcy just deigned to return'
- He tells Elizabeth his story
- 'He meant to provide for me amply, and thought he had done it; but when the living fell, it was given elsewhere'
- 'A man of honour could not have doubted the intention, but Mr Darcy chose to doubt it'
- 'Or to treat is as merely a conditional recommendation'
- 'The living became vacant two years ago, exactly as I was of an age to hold it, and that it was given to another man'
- 'He deserves to be publicly disgraced'
- 'I cannot accuse myself of having really done anything to deserve to lose it'
- 'He had not the temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stood - the sort of preference which was often given to me'
- 'I can hardly be just to him'
- 'For almost all his actions can be traced to pride; and pride had often been his best friend'
- Darcy gives Elizabeth a letter on Wickham's situation
- 'The interest of one thousand pounds would be a very insufficient support therein'
- 'I should not think it unreasonable of him to expect a more pecuniary advantage'
- 'I thought too ill of him to invite him to Pemberley'
- 'His studying law was a mere pretence'
- 'His life was a life of idleness and dissipation'
- 'He was well assured that I had no other person to provide for, and I could not have forgotten my revered father's intentions'
- 'He was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me'
- 'She was persuaded to believe herself in love and consent to an elopement'
- 'Mr Wickham's chief object was unquestionably my sister's fortune'
- Marriage of Lydia and Wickham
- 'They are not married. Nor can I find any intention of being so'
- 'Her equal share of the five thousand pounds secured amongst your children'
- 'Elizabeth had not before believed him quite equal of that assurance'
- 'Wickham's affection for Lydia was just as Elizabeth expected to find it; not equal to Lydia's for him'
- 'She would have wondered why, without violently caring for her, he chose to elope with her at all'
- 'He was her dear Wickham on every occasion; no one was to be put in competition with him'
- 'He did everything best in the world and she was sure he would kill more birds on 1st September, than anybody else in the country'
- 'One of the most worthless young men in Great Britain'
