A cleaver man

A cleaver man indeed is Mr. Wickham.  Playing the poor Bennet family because of their (excuse my saying so) stupid daughter.  She hadn't the witt to see what was really going on.  And on top of it all,  Mrs. Bennet is happy.  Mr. Wickham has cleared his debt and is now "stealing" money from the Bennets in a form of blackmail in order for them to keep their good name.
