註釋"Good," said Wickham, studying his reflection in the large looking-glass over the fireplace. "I used to be rather fond of angling. It's all in the bait, you see. Throw 'em a bit of juicy bait, and you've hooked 'em before you can say Jack Robinson - and with bait like this..." He caressed his elegantly-folded cravat and admired himself in the mirror. This book develops the characters of Wickham and Lydia in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Part 1, Fecklessness, describes Wickham's life in his early days as a young rake and fortune-hunter in London. Part 2, Feckless in Meryton, gives another perspective on Wickham's relationship with Elizabeth Bennet. Part 3, Folly, describes Lydia's frivolous behaviour in Brighton, her meeting with Wickham, her seduction and their elopement. Part 4, Fecklessness and Folly United, describes their disastrous marriage, Wickham's experiences at Waterloo, and Lydia's gradual transformation into another Mrs Bennet.
