She no longer thought him so agreeable. As the rich Miss King had left
Meryton to stay with her uncle, Mr Wickham appeared eager to transfer
his affections back to Elizabeth. His confidence in his own charm and
ability to please annoyed Elizabeth very much, so that when she met him
for the last time before the regiment's departure, she spoke quite
coldly to him. In reply to a polite question of his about her Hunsford
visit, she could not stop herself mentioning her frequent meetings with
Mr Darcy, and her favourable opinion of that gentleman's character.
Wickham looked a little embarrassed, and made no further attempt to
charm Elizabeth. They separated at last with mutual politeness, and
possibly a mutual desire never to meet again.
