The main idea of this part is Lizzy got two letters (there were some bad news from her family). These letters gave important intelligence that her sister Lydia eloped with Mr. Wicham. Everybody was upset by that and Lizzy was in shock too. That news bewildered Elizabeth. Colonel Foster supposed that Mr. Wicham didn’t have any desires to be married with Lydia, but why he did it?! It was unwise action from their side. After the first letter Lizzy became indignant. From the next letter she knew other details of that event. No one knew where they were, but was an assumption that they didn’t leave to Scotland as Mr. Wicham wanted. Everybody wanted to trace their route and to know some information about them. Mr. Bennet decided to go to London that to find Lydia and return her to home. Colonel Foster was making all possible inquiry to find them. Such Lydia’s behavior was unpleasant for her family (her father was in the stress, and her mother felt a distress). She had been spared of these distressing scenes. Everybody owned that they longed for her return. She understood the importance of her being there. Her family needed a moral support.
II. Find out what Gretna Green is and what it is famous for.
Gretna Green is a small but thriving town on the West Coast in the South of Scotland. It is the famous place for wedding. In this part the author shows that Lydia and Mr. Wicham probably went to Gretna Green , because they wanted to get a wedding and it is a suitable place for this purpose.

The main idea of this part is Mr. Bennet couldn’t find her daughter and he had to return home alone. He made no mention of the unfortunate business. Of course Mr. Bennet was in anger but he didn’t show it. He was belted up as usual. His brother wanted to help him and left in London. The atmosphere in the Bennet’s house was awful. Mrs. Bennet worried about her husband and she still just cried in her bedroom. That event helped to Mr. Bennet to understand his fault. He blames himself in that situation. In that case he didn’t want to hear about other officers and promised to care about daughters better then before.
It wasn’t just Lydia’s problem but the tragedy of the whole family that everybody understood. Their family was in desperate condition and Lydia redoubled it more. They had nothing to do just wait some news from Mr. Gardiner who was in London and tried to find some inquires of the fugitives.
II. Say, what could the word “review” mean in this context?
“Well, well,” he said, “do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of them.”
I suppose Mr. Bennet said these words with irony. He wanted to say that now he would control all actions of his daughters and doesn’t allow them to repeat such mistakes, and to see to it that nobody of his girls don’t spoils the rating and status of their family. “Review:” – means demonstration, showing. Mr. Bennet needs convincing proof that his girls can be independent and can be responsible for their and family’s life. By these words he wanted to prevent subsequent problems.

In this chapter we can see the emotional experience of Elizabeth. She hadn’t an instant to lose. Lizzy needed to take some measures that improve the situation that Lydia did. Sometimes she blamed herself that was happened. Perhaps she must inform her family what the person Mr. Wicham is and told them all details that she knew about his life from Mr. Darcy. Lizzy was assured that she could prevent this situation. She wanted to keep the dignity of her family, because that situation could influence her relationships with Mr. Darcy. Lizzy imparted news to him; in response, he couldn’t find the suitable words to appease her. Lizzy was tired from wretched suspense and she decided to go home. The backing of her uncle and her ant was very necessary for Lizzy. Her uncle couldn’t imagine that it could be happen. Lizzy still couldn’t believe that her younger sister eloped with Mr. Wicham. It was a disgrace for Lydia and for the whole family. It was unthinkable. Lizzy didn’t want to allow Lydia to destroy her contacts with Mr. Darcy. Because of that event Lizzy had to go home and she was really worried that it could be the last moment she saw Mr. Darcy. She scared to lose these good and warm relationships between them, but she must leave him. Mr. Darcy suffered about that and it was a pity to see Miss Bennet so upset, but he had nothing to do just felt sorry for her.

The main idea of this part is Mr. Gardiner got some tidings about Lydia and Mr. Wicham and informed her family about it. The wedding wasn’t ready and it was doubtful whether in the future. Also was news that Mr. Wicham had to move in the north because of his military service and Lydia would go with him. Mr. Gardiner suggested sharing Bennet’s inheritance which was secured among all girls after the decease of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Gardiner offered it because decided that it would be better for all. Subsequent actions depended on Mr. Bennet decision. Lydia was very desirous to be seeing all her family but her father didn’t want to see her and her husband in Longhorn because of her shameless conduct. There were different reactions on that news. Mr. Bennet didn’t fell a satisfaction by that news but Mrs. Bennet was delighted to know about Lydia’s wedding. But Mrs. Bennet was very happy to know it and see them. At once she became well and started to think about wedding dress. She also thought to brag about Lydia’s wedding. Finally Mrs. Bennet could make her husband change his mind and he agreed.

1. Elizabeth received two letters from Jane at once. One of them had been missing elsewhere. In that moment her uncle aunt were going to walk and they left Elizabeth for enjoying the reading in quiet. One of the letters was written 5 days ago. The beginning of it was about the usual news of the country, but the latter half dated a day later gave more important intelligence. It was written: “At 12 last night just we were all gone to bed an express message came from Colonel Foster to inform us that Lydia had gone to Scotland with Wickham! Imagine our surprise! His choice is disinterested at least… Our poor mother is sadly grieved. Our father bears it better. It’s supposed that Lydia and Wickham were not missed till yesterday morning. The express was sent off directly. Lydia wrote some lines to Mrs. Foster informing her about their intention”. Elizabeth instantly opened the other letter. It was written a day later: “By this time you will have received my hurried letter. I hope this would make sense because my head was very bewildered. I have bad news. Unwise as a marriage between Wickham and our poor Lydia would be, we now anxious to be assure that it is taken place. Lydia wrote to Mrs. Foster that they are going to Gretna Green, but the friend of Mr. Wickham assured that Wickham wasn’t going to Scotland and he didn’t want to marry Lydia at all. Colonel instantly took alarm and began to trace their route. He traced them till Clapham, but no further. After making every possible inquiry Colonel F. came on to Lonbourn. Our distress is really great! I’m glad that you have been spared some of these distressing scenes but own that I long for your return. I can not help earnestly begging you all to come here as soon as possible. Father is going to London to try to discover Lydia. The uncle’s advice and assistance would be everything in the world now”.

Elizabeth immediately wanted to find her uncle and she darted from her seat to the door. But it was opened and Mr. Darcy appeared. Her pale face and wild eyes made him start. “I beg your pardon, but I must find Mr. Gardener and I have not an instant to lose”, - she cried. Mr. Darcy offered to send a servant for Mr. Gardener. Elizabeth agreed and she asked one of the servants to fetch his master home immediately. Then Mr. Darcy offered to call her maid but Elizabeth refused it. She added that she was quite well and she was only distressed by some dreadful news from Lonbourn. She burst into tears and Darcy in wretched suspense could only watch her in pitying silence. At length she spoke again: “I’ve received a letter from Jane… My younger sister has eloped with… with Mr. Wickham! I might prevent it. I, who knew what he was!”. “And what had been done to recover her?” – asked Darcy. Lizzy told him that her father had gone to London to find her. Darcy made no answer. He began walking around the room, his brows bent and his air gloomy. Elizabeth understood that he thought about a proof of his family weakness, such a deep disgrace. “If I could do something for you! - he said, - but I don’t want just to torment you vain wishes”. Elizabeth asked him to apologise for their not being at Pemberley and say that urgent business called them home immediately. He bowed with only one serious parting look and went away. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner returned, feeling from their servant’s account that their niece was suddenly feel ill. Satisfying them on that score, she read them 2 letters. Having heard it Mr. Gardener promised every assistance in his power. Elizabeth thanked him with tears of gratitude. And their journey was speedily settled.
So they reached Lonbourn the next day. Elizabeth jumped from the chaise and hurried into a hall where Jane immediately met her. They embraced and Elizabeth asked whether anything had been heard of the fugitives.

Jane said that there was no news about the fugitives. She added that their mother’s spirits are greatly shaken, but Mary and Kitty were quite well. Mrs. Bennet to whose room they repaired, received them with tears and complaints on her sufferings. “I always thought the Foster’s couldn’t give all the charge to my poor deer Lydia, but I was overruled as I always am. And now Mr. Bennet has gone away… He will fight Wickham and he will be killed. I don’t know what we shall do”. Mr. Gardener promised to help Mr. Bennet in his research.
He found his brother in London and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street. Mr. Bennet didn’t gain satisfactory information but was now determined to inquire at all the principles hotels. Mr. Gardiner’s next letter informed them that they might expect to see their father at home on the following day. Rendered spiritless by the ill-success of all their endeavours he had yielded to his brother-in-low’s persuasions that he should be tended to his family. When Mr. Bennet arrived he seemed as calm as ever, said as little as he had been in the habit of saying and made no mention of the unfortunate business. It was not till the afternoon when he joined them the tea and Elizabeth said that she was sorry for what he might be endured. “Who should suffer but myself,- he replied, - it’s my own doing”. They were interrupted by Jane who came to fetch her mother’s tea. “Your mother’s behaviour, - he said, - gives an elegance to misfortune. Another day I will do the same. I will sit in my library in my nightcap and a powdering-gown and give you many troubles as I can. Or perhaps I shall wait until Kitty will run away. But now I will be more cautious and she would never stir out of doors till she approve that she can spend ten minutes of every day in a wise and thoughtful manner. Kitty thought that his threats were serious and began to cry. But he hurried to calm her and promised to let her go out if she would be a good girl during next ten years.

Two days later when Jane and Elizabeth was walking in the shrubbery they came upon their father with a letter in his hand. He asked Elizabeth to read it aloud. Mr. Gardener wrote: “My dear brother, at last I’m able to send you some tidings of my niece. Soon after you left me I’ve found them both. They are not married not I can find any intention of being so. But if you are willing to enter into the arrangement I have made on your behalf I hope they will marry as soon as possible. All the inquires of you are to assure your daughter by settlement her equal share of 5000 pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and my sister and moreover 1000 pounds per annum during your life. Mr. Wickham’s intention is to quit the militia and go into the regulars. Among his former friends there are still some who are able and willing to resist him in the army. He asked the promise of an ensigncy in General Lambrey’s regiment now quartered in the north. The judge it best that my niece should be married from my house. Then they will go to Lonbourn. Lydia is very desirous of seeing you all, before she will go to the north. She is well and begs to be dutifully remembered to you and her mother.
Jane and Elizabeth went to read this letter to their mother. Mr. Bennet was not in the least disturbed by Lydia’s shameless conduct. It was enough to know that she would be married. That day Mrs. Bennet was downstairs and she seated at the head of the table. She talked about the wedding, but Mr. Bennet said that he would not advance a guinea to buy clothing. A long argument followed this declaration. But Jane and Lizzy persuaded him to receive the young couple at Lonbourn and at last he agreed. And Mr. Bennet had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show off her married daughter before Lydia was banished to the north.
Elizabeth tries to found her uncle. Suddenly Mr. Darcy appeared. Her wild eyes made him start. ‘I should find Mr. Gardener. I have not n instant to loose.’ What is the matter? Ask Darcy. She asked her a maid to find her uncle. Then she sat down. ‘Let me call your maid’-said Mr. Darcy. ‘I’m quite alright ‘ – said Elizabeth. I have some dreadful news, that I have just received, and she burst into tears. She had told to him about the letter. Mr. Darcy for a long time wandered on the room. Elizabeth understands what he must be thinking. He could no longer care of her under such a proof of family weakness, such a deep disgrace. This situation made her understand her own wishes. ‘ I’m afraid that after this situation my sister wouldn’t like to see you’ said Darcy. Be so kind and apologize for us, said Elizabeth. Because urgent business calls immediately. He bowed. With parting look he went away. Elizabeth thought that it was a problem to see each other again on such friendly terms. Then Elizabeth read a letter to Mr. and Miss Gardener. He promised to help. Elizabeth thanked him with tears of gratitude. Next way they were at home. Elizabeth jumped from the chaise and hurried into the ball.

The main idea of this chapter that Elizabeth received two letters from Jane in one day . One letter was delivered with delay. In that moment the Gardener's couple was going to walk and they left Elizabeth alone and she was glad this fact,because she liked to read in silence . One of the Jane's letter was written 5 days ago. The first letter contained usual description of Bennet's life ,but another was quite different: Jane announced absolutely shocking news. She wrote that they had got quite awful letter from colonel Foster with news that Lydia run off with Wicham and the colonel Foster tried to return them but in vain. Elizabeth felt keen anxiety because she knew mean character of Wicham.She opend next letter which was written a day later - Jane wrote that they doubted that would be the wedding between Lydia and Wicham and obviously Lydia was deceived by Wicham because she thought that they got married in Greta Green.But Wicham's friends denied this and they were assured that the wedding was only Wicham's lie to persuade Lydia to run off. Jane asked Elizabeth to return as soon as possible, because Mrs Bennet was in hysterics,and Mr Bennet pronounced no word during three days. Lizzy decided to return home to support her family.
2. Gretna Green is a famous village in Scotland on the border with England: in this place the couple may get married very quickly and without any special preparations and permission of family.
Elizabeth asked about Lydia, an about mother. Mother spirits and greatly shaken said her sister. Mr. Gardener told her that he mend to be in London very next day. On Tuesday the letter came from Mr. Gardener, he wrote that he have found his brother, and he told him to come in Gracechurch Street. Mr. Bennet gained no satisfactory information but was no determined to inquire at all the hotels. The next letter from Mt. Gardener’s told them that they might expect to see their father at home at Saturday. Rendered spiritless by the ill-success of all their endeavours, he had yielded to his brother-in-law’s that he should return to his family. Missis Bennet was very nervous. ‘ What? Who is to fight Wickham and make marry her if he comes away?’
When Mr. Bennet did arrived he seem just calm as ever, said as little as he had been in the habit of saying, and made no mention of the unfortunate business. It was not till the afternoon, when he joins them to the tea. Then Jane come in. Her father said that he will not allow Jane to act in the same way. As her sister did.

Mr Darcy suggested Elizabeth his help but she understood that he did so only from the politeness and there was her enormous guilt in this horrid incident, because Mr Darcy was absolutely right about Wicham and his actions. Elizabeth asked him to apologise for their absence in Pemberly because of the urgent business and she must return home without any delay. Mr.Darcy bowed her and went away.Then the Gardener returned, they were anxious because the servants of the hotel told them that Miss Bennet was ill . Elizabeth showed them the cause of her disorder.
