I think she was absolutely ripe for a fortune hunter to take advantage of her.<br /><br />It wouldn't have been surprising if Georgiana had gone to live with relatives when her father died, so you wonder whether there weren't much in the way of relatives or whether her brother chose to keep her and then wasn't able to give her the emotional support she needed either through lack of time or not being aware of what she needed.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-22532120012889318512017-07-23T19:58:58.252+01:002017-07-23T19:58:58.252+01:00I thought that too, Leah, Lydia seemed to have an ...I thought that too, Leah, Lydia seemed to have an attitude going on towards Georgiana, it made me wonder whether she knew of Wickham's past with her.

I get the impression that perhaps, like Elizabeth and Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, Miss Darcy may go through some changes in attitude in the pages of this book. From the phrase "Such was the understanding...", it seems that she hasn't met Mary or Kitty personally. Since they're relatively close to her age and she hasn't had much exposure to other young ladies, she may find more in common with them than she expects. That's my guess, anyway!Debbie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02385511375085585183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-35006689087809748532017-07-22T02:18:55.658+01:002017-07-22T02:18:55.658+01:00Ceri and Elisa

I like to think of Georgiana growing up in a vacuum. She had whatever her physical and educations needs required. That was what Darcy did as a good brother should. However, he didn't meet her emotional needs... because that was not what was taught to him. He was young when his mother died and all he had was his father. She needed more and Wickham took advantage of that by supplying the kind, sweet, luring words that would turn her head and her heart. Focusing on a girl's first love, Wickham touched her in an emotional way no one had ever done before. Bless her heart... she never stood a chance against him. Add to that, the influence of her false companion... dang. It was a train wreck waiting to happen. J. W.
