Safe and found

Our family has recently acquired a letter from Mr.Gardiner stating that Lydia has been found and is completely safe. I am entirely overjoyed and my heartbeat has dropped signifacantly. I am at rest now and I am also content, but there is something else stated in the letter that sent my mothers hear back into a flutter. Apparently after running away and causing so much drama, Lydia and Wickham are infact, not marrying. Although I do feel quite embarrassed by this whole fiasco, I am secretly pleased that Lydia is not marrying that man, according to rumors, he is nothing but trouble. My mother feels very differently though. In her mind, if anything positive could possibly come out of this, it would be one of her lovely daughters getting married. But, that did not happen, so she is pretty angry. Everyone in the family is giving her space today and keeping their distance so she does not become even more livid than she already is. Sometimes it feels like I am walking on egg shells around her.
