:19:34
I came to leave you this.
:19:46
I shall not renew the sentiments
which were so disgusting to you.
:19:50
But if I may, I will address the
two offences you have laid against me.
:20:01
My father loved Mr Wickham as a son.
:20:04
He left him a generous living.
But upon my father's death,
:20:08
Mr Wickham announced
he had no intention of taking orders.
:20:13
He demanded the value of the living,
which he'd gambled away within weeks.
:20:20
He then wrote,
demanding more money, which I refused.
:20:23
After which,
he severed all acquaintance.
:20:27
He came back to see us last summer, and
declared passionate love for my sister,
:20:31
whom he tried to persuade
to elope with him.
:20:35
She is to inherit £30,000.
:20:39
When it was made clear he would never
receive a penny of it, he disappeared.
:20:44
I will not attempt to convey the depth
of Georgiana's despair.
:20:48
She was 15 years old.
:20:53
As to the other matter,
of your sister and Mr Bingley,
:20:56
though the motives which governed me
may appear insufficient,
