Lydia is also dealing with different affairs. Kitty is her favorite sister, but she’s also a barn cat. She perceives Wickham to be a demon and thus deserving of the wicked perception of him that the world has.

Then there’s Mr. Darcy, who has strong opinions about etiquette and will most certainly have a reaction to the topic of witchcraft. Lydia is about to find out that promises contain power when you’re a witch, and also what happens when you channel that power.
