The news is getting out all over town that Wickham is a cad. Mr. Collins sticks his nose in. Jane’s Janeness is overflowing. The Bennets finally get news that Lydia and Wickham have been found and will be married. Jane and Elizabeth debate whether or not Wickham’s intentions are at all honorable. Spoiler: They’re not!
Akina and Laurel talk about things they have no idea about like European military history- thanks, American school system! We also talk about things we know a lot about, like toxic positivity, mental health, and coping mechanisms...thanks, cult!
What We’re Reading: Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow, Kudos by Rachel Cusk
