Definitely an element of protective caution Written by Chandra S (2/1/2004 8:27 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, JA 's literary device, penned by Mandy N

] Darcy commented Lizzy took 'uncommon interest' in Wickham. I wonder if Darcy wanted to caution Lizzy lest she suffer some fate by George Wickham.

It wasn't in P&P2, but in the book, Darcy does include this sentence in the letter:

" But whatever may be the sentiments which Mr. Wickham has created, a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from unfolding his real character -- it adds even another motive. "

The only way I can think to interpret that is "I don't know exactly how you feel about W., but since I think you at least like him I have an extra reason for warning you that he's a cad, before he hurts you too." Can there be any other interpretation?
