Resolutions

Elizabeth Bennet thinking about her sister Lydia, who had eloped with Wickham:
How Wickham and Lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence, she could not imagine. But how little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture.
-- Pride and Prejudice chapter 50
