Minor Irritations:
"And as I was saying, the Colonel is simply a horrid man! Not that he has been terribly mean to me, but he stalks about in a brooding mood, and never does smile" Lydia rambled on about Colonel Fitzwilliam to Wickham, though she hardly seemed to notice that yet again, Wickham was not paying her any mind as he ate a plate of food she had brought him.
Suddenly Lydia stood up and walked around the small table in the private cell. She sat right on Wickham's knees and wrapped her arms around him. "Oh Wickham, what a horrid thing! For you to be locked away in here while I stay with Darcy's horrid sister and cousin! I do wish for you to be free soon, so we might stay in our new estate together" Lydia said miserably.
She had only been able to visit the Oakridge estate once, and that had only been to explain renovations she wished to take place, which of course was some of the reason Lydia could not stay there yet. Though another reason behind her having to stay with the Colonel, is simply due to the fact that Lydia could not be trusted to be alone.
She would probably go out and spend every penny he had in two days, but it was not only Lydia's spending that was a problem. Lydia was simply to child like with wild ideas, that of course, resulted in Lydia needing to be watched over constantly otherwise she'd make a fool of herself and her entire family.
Wickham placed a hand on Lydia's back, though he did not feel he wanted to comfort her. He only wanted to eat, then have her leave him. His wife may have brought him food every day, and even have gotten him a private cell to stay in, but it did not change the fact that she was an exhausting woman to be around.
Wickham hated his life in jail, but on the up side of things, it was like a vacation from his eccentric wife.
"Visiting hours, are over" An Officer said as he opened the door. Lydia of course, as always, stood up and began to wail right away. As she had done every day. Wickham stood up with her, and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hush now, Lydia, it is only for a bit longer. I know I will be free, It's just a matter of how long it takes for the evidence to set in that I am innocent" Wickham told her, he sounded sincere, as though he really were an innocent man. He put his lips to Lydia's head before releasing her.
Lydia stopped in the doorway to look back at Wickham for a moment before she left. However the moment Lydia left, Colonel Fitzwilliam barged in.
"That woman, is a menace" He growled at Wickham before he left just as quickly as he had come.
Wickham couldn't help but let a small laugh escape him with a smile of contentedness. He may have been stuck in here, and he may have forced Lydia upon The Colonel for her own good, but the fact she might be causing his hair to fall out, was a large bonus in the eyes of Wickham.
...
"How would you know?! You know nothing of what I'm going through! The pain I feel so deep inside of me!" Lydia yelled dramatically as she ran up the grande stairs in the Colonel's castle.
Georgiana rushed up to the bottom of the stairs, letting a sigh escape her lips. "Lydia! Come back! I did not mean for you to get upset! I only meant that I too have suffered in unspoken ways!" Georgiana tried to call her, though there was little to be done about the situation.
Darcy's sister had soon come to realize just how dramatic Lydia Wickham was. She had never before met Lydia, but had only heard stories of Lydia's ridiculous dramatics and temperament. Though Georgiana had always thought it was only exaggeration. Georgiana now saw, that if anything, her friends and family had under exaggerated Lydia's character.
"It is no use Georgiana, we both know you should not bother with it, it only encourages her" Stated Georgiana's husband from the sitting room by the stairs. Georgiana looked over the Colonel Fitzwilliam, who held the paper in his hands, he did not even look up when Lydia had been set off. It happened to often, nearly every day in the previous two weeks she had stayed with them in fact.
Georgiana smiled a little at him and made her way over. "Oh but Fitzwilliam, she is a guest in our home, despite what is happening between she, my brother, and Elizabeth, it is our job to make her welcome, as long as she is here that is"
She said as she sat beside the Colonel. "And, despite her mood and dramatics, I feel sorry for her. Marrying George Wickham, having to abandon her baby, and then being thrown into a jail, She has not had the opportunities at happiness that you and I have been fortunate enough to get" Georgiana admitted with a frown.
Colonel Fitzwilliam turned more towards her, and took Georgiana's hand. "Your kindness never ceases. Mrs. Wickham has been resentful and rude to you since she has arrived, and yet you still care of her unhappiness" The Colonel smiled. "I am fortunate Georgiana, not many men are lucky enough to marry such a beautiful and kind creature as you" he replied tenderly.
"MY HUSBAND IS STILL BEHIND THE BARS OF A CELL! AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING TO GET HIM OUT! WHAT HORRID FAMILY MEMBER I DO HAVE! LETTING MY HUSBAND ROT IN JAIL WHILE I AM OUT HERE ALONE AND MISERABLE! IT'S AS THOUGH NO ONE HAS CARED FOR ME IN MY LIFE BUT HIM!" Lydia could be heard yelling at the top of the stairs. Probably only to cause more attention to herself since no one had run up after her to attempt to calm her this time.
