Officers leaving Meryton

What must go on in my sister's minds to think of the officers in Meryton all the time. Now that the men have gone to Brighton all Kitty and Lydia can do is beg my father to allow them to go and visit. Don't they know that there is more to live then just flirting with the soldiers in town. I feel sorry that that is what brings them joy . Since the invation for Lydia going to stay with the Foster's in Brighton has been known, the begging to my father has ceased. I do not agree with him allowing her to go, but he thinks that it will do her good to to see how she fits in with the women of that town. How could I forget about my seeing Wickham upon the departure of the soldiers from Meryton. What joy it brought me to rub in his face the status of me and Mr. Darcy's relationship. I hope that he understood the fact that we are no longer on good terms with each other.
