Thoughts on Wickham

I still do not wish to think ill of him, but I cannot help but doubt him. Elizabeth had said during our conversation that if we had warned our family about Wickham, perhaps none of this would have happened… I agree with her, but I understand that we only acted on what we believed was for the best. It would not have been right to expose his past mistakes. It would not have been ours to tell about, us having nothing to do with them in the first place, it would have been wrong in many ways. I know that many in our family must now think ill of him, but I believe… I want to strongly believe that it is wrong. I hope this is a big mistake, however naïve that may be. Oh I have so many regrets and what-ifs presently running through my mind. I wish I could explain them all.
