*Completely* ironic and very funny, IMO! Written by Line (5/17/2010 10:39 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Perfectly Satisfied, penned by Robbin

What I get from this passage is that Wickham was quite *dis*satified with the conversation, except, as you point out, that he understood Elizabeth would not expose him as long as he kept quiet (and that Elizabeth was far from "dear" to him anymore ;-). It makes me smile every time!
