Jane and I currently are riding home in Father's coach along with Kitty and Lydia. The topic of discussion is purely about the soldiers in the militia. When it comes to Lydia and Kitty with men, "obssessed" is an understatement. They are hoping to convince our parents to allow them to travel to Brighton where the soldiers with be stationed this summer. I understand that girls of their age develop strong admirations for the male sex; however, they take it to a bothersome degree... If anything, the soldiers would be annoyed by their persistance. Although Lydia is quite a beautiful young lady, she is mistaken if she believes that each and every militia man with be taken by the sight of her... They will only see her for what she is; a 15 year old girl! She will have to learn this lesson on her own.
Lydia also seems to be quite fond of Wickham... little does she know that he is seriously flawed. For now, I shall put up with my sister's talk of hopes to mingle with the soldiers and convince my parents otherwise.
Details to come,
Lizzy
