True, but... Written by B. Michelle (1/18/2004 11:02 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Reader's Prejudice, penned by Karen Marija

You have a valid point, but while Caroline's information was correct (about Wickhams' back-ground, etc) she did not give it for Elizabeth's sake.

They had not long separated when Miss Bingley came towards her, and with an expression of civil disdain thus accosted her: -- "So, Miss Eliza, I hear you are quite delighted with George Wickham!

This introduction and the sneer she walks away with show that her hope was to take Elizabeth down a peg. (Also, I find her way of calling Elizabeth "Eliza" to be a degradation).

I agree that it's funny how JA used Miss Bingley, whom we all dispise, as a reliable source.
