Lydia said as she settled her husband into his seat between Lady Catherine and Mrs. Mooreton. Her George was not his usual cheery self today, she noted; in addition to being a bit wobbly on his feet, he had more than once fallen into an unresponsive daze. A good meal with a nice red claret would set him right again, she was sure of it. Lydia then moved across the table taking her place in the seat previously reserved for Mrs. Bennet next to the inveterate rake Timothy Mooreton. She was soon howling in hilarity at his ribald stories and merrily tearing into her partridge. Georgiana Darcy, seated down the table from George Wickham and thus completely out of his line of sight, could not stop smiling to herself. Seeing George Wickham again, so unexpectedly, had surely twisted her brother’s breeches. Out of the frying pan and into the fire! She knew she was being uncharitable in her thoughts, but she could not help but see the humor in the situation.
