that's probably the biggest (and last) thing I'm really thinking about. I mean, Wickham has a track record of fooling men and women alike-- I think his appearance of goodness isn't so much based on his sexual appeal as aided by it. And canonically, E's attraction to Wickham is a strong component in that whole subplot, even if you argue that it's more to do with Darcy than Wickham himself.
But I don't think W would make so much effort w/ a man. Particularly a charming, attractive young man with financial security, who'd be more of a rival than anything else. So I'm not even sure how it will work out.
I suspect both will go to town and they'll send Mr Bennet back, but I'm not sure how it will affect the plot. Catherine obviously couldn't hunt Wickham down herself either.
