About this book

In Pride and Prejudice, Lydia intimates that her virginity has already been lost when, on the eve of eloping with a scoundrel, she explains that "I shall send for my clothes when I get to Longbourn; but I wish you would tell Sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown, before they are packed up" (291-292).1
