Unsuccessful Searching

I've been told that Mr. Gardiner continued to search with Mr. Bennet in pursuit of Wickham and Lydia. I can't believe that vile man tried to pull another one, this time with Elizabeth's sister and not with my dear Georgiana. I could not believe my ears when I heard the contents of Mr. Collins's letter to the Bennets! He accuses them of bad parenting when they're looking for a child they've lost? The fool!
