No, of course not! She'd been in London, as she'd finished her transformation right in the middle of Lydia's wedding-that-wasn't! (Which had probably helped her deal with Wormentongue, actually, as Lydia had just finished taking Wickham away from him so he was rather weakened. La, Lydia hadn't realized she'd helped!) And then she'd gone to Brighton and hadn't left it since!
"I'm sure she's aware," Lydia insisted. "She knows when I am, after all...still, I shall mention it in my next letter to her." There. Were you happy now, Adrian?
