Chapter & Worse

Classics · Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen, 1813

Who does Lydia marry in Pride and Prejudice?

Lydia Bennet marries George Wickham, the officer she runs away with from Brighton.

The wedding happens in London, and only because Mr. Darcy tracks the couple down and pays for it. Lydia lets slip that Darcy was there, which is how Elizabeth starts to learn what he did.

Her aunt's letter then tells Elizabeth the rest: Darcy paid Wickham's debts, settled money on Lydia and bought Wickham's commission.

“We were married, you know, at St. Clement's, because Wickham's lodgings were in that parish.”
