The whole party were in hopes of a letter from Mr. Park the next morning, but the post came in without bringing a single line from him. His family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and dilatory correspondent; but at such a time they had hoped for exertion. They were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to send; but even of THAT they would have been glad to be certain. Namjoon had waited only for the letters before he set off.
When he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving constant information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting, to prevail on Mr. Park to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could, to the great consolation of his sister, who considered it as the only security for her mate's not being killed in a duel.
Seokjin and the children were to remain in Hertfordshire a few days longer, as the former thought his presence might be serviceable to his nephews. He shared in their attendance on Mrs. Park, and was a great comfort to them in their hours of freedom. Their aunt Yun also visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of cheering and heartening them up--though, as she never came without reporting some fresh instance of Sehyun's extravagance or irregularity, she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found them.
All Meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who, but three months before, had been almost an angel of light. He was declared to be in debt to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman's family. Everybody declared that he was the wickedest young alpha in the world; and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the appearance of his goodness. Jimin, though he did not credit above half of what was said, believed enough to make his former assurance of his sister's ruin more certain; and even Taehyung, who believed still less of it, became almost hopeless, more especially as the time was now come when, if they had gone to Scotland, which he had never before entirely despaired of, they must in all probability have gained some news of them.
Namjoon left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his mate received a letter from him; it told them that, on his arrival, he had immediately found out his brother, and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street; that Mr. Park had been to Epsom and Clapham, before his arrival, but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as Mr. Park thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first coming to London, before they procured lodgings. Namjoon himself did not expect any success from this measure, but as his brother was eager in it, he meant to assist him in pursuing it. He added that Mr. Park seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave London and promised to write again very soon. There was also a postscript to this effect:
"I have written to Colonel Tam to desire him to find out, if possible, from some of the young man's intimates in the regiment, whether Sehyun has any relations or connections who would be likely to know in what part of town he has now concealed himself. If there were anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a clue as that, it might be of essential consequence. At present we have nothing to guide us. Colonel Tam will, I dare say, do everything in his power to satisfy us on this head. But, on second thoughts, perhaps, Jiminie could tell us what relations he has now living, better than any other person."
