Dear fellow readers of Pride and Prejudice- what would have been the Regency approach to unmarried mothers from the upper classes? I ask as surely two weeks of alone time with Mr Wickham would have been enough to get Lydia in a sticky wicket.
Maybe they still would have got married? Or would Lydia's family have packed her off to Wales to have the baby and get it adopted?
It would have been much more dramatic if she had been preggers!
