The Bad News

When I return to my inn, I find two letters have arrived to me from Jane. Both with terrible news. I was informed that Lydia, my youngest sister, has run off with the dreadful Mr. Wickham. I am horrified for my sister!! I don't know how she can be so stupid! And I blame myself for letting this happen. I know all Mr. Wickham wants is money, he is not at all interested in my poor sister. How can she be so naive. The second letter explained how there is no word from the couple and that my father is going to London to find them. How awful!! I really need to relax before I faint...
