At Pemberley Darcy was gentle, asked to introduce his sister, and showed a courtesy that astonished everyone who knew his pride. Then a letter came from home. Lydia, the youngest sister, had run away with Wickham, and there was no marriage and no money. Elizabeth wept and told Darcy everything, and he rode off without a word. He found the pair in London, paid Wickham's debts, bought him a commission, and made the marriage happen, and he asked that nobody should ever be told. Bingley returned to Netherfield and proposed to Jane in October. Darcy walked out with Elizabeth one morning and spoke again, quietly this time. My affections and wishes are unchanged, he said, but one word from you will silence me for ever. She did not silence him.
