2. Mr Wickham with a Discerning Elizabeth

"Miss Bennet…"

"No, Mr Wickham."

"Pardon?"

"My answer is no."

"Aahhh… have I asked you something?"

"Not yet. But I already know what you want."

"I realise you are clever, but I highly doubt you know what is on my mind."

"Erm… not now, Miss Bennet. I must report back to my duties."
