When I left, Lydia was prattling about new clothes for her wedding and expressing her ownsatisfaction that she, the youngest of the Bennet sisters, would be the first of them to be married. Wickham smiled indulgently and said pretty things to her. I, disgusted with them both, was persuaded they deserved each other. Mary Street
About This Quote

I’ll leave you with a story of two sisters Lydia and Kitty. When they were very young, their mother died. A year later, the Bennet sisters mother died and so did their father. A few years after, when Kitty was married to Mr Collins, their family was devastated when she died giving birth to her daughter Jane.

In the midst of this tragedy, Lydia met Mr Wickham and married him even though she was in love with Wickham's brother. Wickham is the only one who understands what they felt for each other and he sympathises with them. He knows that they both loved each other and that they were punished by the family because of it.
