Lydia was never the most upstanding of the Bennet sisters, but who ever said that moral rectitude was fun?

It is a shame, though, that Mr. Wickham turned''Β out to be a disappointing husband in so many aspects, the most notable being his early demise on the''Β battlefields of Waterloo. And so Lydia, still not yet twenty and full of enterprising spirit, is in urgent need of''Β a wealthy replacement. A lesser woman, without Lydia's natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dance''Β floor and cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt''Β banker, and even an amorous Prince...
