PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
By Jane Austen
Chapter 1
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession
of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his
first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds
of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property
of some one or other of their daughters.
"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that
Netherfield Park is let at last?"
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she
told me all about it."
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
"Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.
"_You_ want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."
This was invitation enough.
"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken
by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came
down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much
delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he
is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to
be in the house by the end of next week."
"What is his name?"
"Bingley."
"Is he married or single?"
"Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or
five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"
"How so? How can it affect them?"
"My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You
must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them."
"Is that his design in settling here?"
"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he
_may_ fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as
soon as he comes."
"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send
them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are
as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the
party."
"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly _have_ had my share of beauty, but
I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five
grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty."
"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of."
"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into
the neighbourhood."
"It is more than I engage for, I assure you."
"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would
be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to
go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no
newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for _us_ to
visit him if you do not."
"You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very
glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my
hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though
I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."
"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the
others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so
good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving _her_ the preference."
"They have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are
all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of
quickness than her sisters."
"Mr. Bennet, how _can_ you abuse your own children in such a way? You
take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves."
"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They
are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration
these last twenty years at least."
"Ah, you do not know what I suffer."
"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four
thousand a year come into the neighbourhood."
"It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not
visit them."
"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them
all."
Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour,
reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had
been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. _Her_ mind
was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding,
little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented,
she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her
daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.
Chapter 2
Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on Mr. Bingley. He
had always intended to visit him, though to the last always assuring
his wife that he should not go; and till the evening after the visit was
paid she had no knowledge of it. It was then disclosed in the following
manner. Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat, he
suddenly addressed her with:
"I hope Mr. Bingley will like it, Lizzy."
"We are not in a way to know _what_ Mr. Bingley likes," said her mother
resentfully, "since we are not to visit."
"But you forget, mamma," said Elizabeth, "that we shall meet him at the
assemblies, and that Mrs. Long promised to introduce him."
"I do not believe Mrs. Long will do any such thing. She has two nieces
of her own. She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion
of her."
"No more have I," said Mr. Bennet; "and I am glad to find that you do
not depend on her serving you."
Mrs. Bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain
herself, began scolding one of her daughters.
"Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven's sake! Have a little
compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces."
"Kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times
them ill."
"I do not cough for my own amusement," replied Kitty fretfully. "When is
your next ball to be, Lizzy?"
"To-morrow fortnight."
"Aye, so it is," cried her mother, "and Mrs. Long does not come back
till the day before; so it will be impossible for her to introduce him,
for she will not know him herself."
"Then, my dear, you may have the advantage of your friend, and introduce
Mr. Bingley to _her_."
"Impossible, Mr. Bennet, impossible, when I am not acquainted with him
myself; how can you be so teasing?"
"I honour your circumspection. A fortnight's acquaintance is certainly
very little. One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a
fortnight. But if _we_ do not venture somebody else will; and after all,
Mrs. Long and her neices must stand their chance; and, therefore, as
she will think it an act of kindness, if you decline the office, I will
take it on myself."
The girls stared at their father. Mrs. Bennet said only, "Nonsense,
nonsense!"
"What can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation?" cried he. "Do
you consider the forms of introduction, and the stress that is laid on
them, as nonsense? I cannot quite agree with you _there_. What say you,
Mary? For you are a young lady of deep reflection, I know, and read
great books and make extracts."
Mary wished to say something sensible, but knew not how.
"While Mary is adjusting her ideas," he continued, "let us return to Mr.
Bingley."
"I am sick of Mr. Bingley," cried his wife.
"I am sorry to hear _that_; but why did not you tell me that before? If
I had known as much this morning I certainly would not have called
on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have actually paid the visit, we
cannot escape the acquaintance now."
The astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished; that of Mrs.
Bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though, when the first tumult of joy
was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the
while.
"How good it was in you, my dear Mr. Bennet! But I knew I should
persuade you at last. I was sure you loved your girls too well to
neglect such an acquaintance. Well, how pleased I am! and it is such a
good joke, too, that you should have gone this morning and never said a
word about it till now."
"Now, Kitty, you may cough as much as you choose," said Mr. Bennet; and,
as he spoke, he left the room, fatigued with the raptures of his wife.
"What an excellent father you have, girls!" said she, when the door was
shut. "I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness;
or me, either, for that matter. At our time of life it is not so
pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but
for your sakes, we would do anything. Lydia, my love, though you _are_
the youngest, I dare say Mr. Bingley will dance with you at the next
ball."
"Oh!" said Lydia stoutly, "I am not afraid; for though I _am_ the
youngest, I'm the tallest."
The rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would
return Mr. Bennet's visit, and determining when they should ask him to
dinner.
Chapter 3
Not all that Mrs. Bennet, however, with the assistance of her five
daughters, could ask on the subject, was sufficient to draw from her
husband any satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley. They attacked him
in various ways--with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and
distant surmises; but he eluded the skill of them all, and they were at
last obliged to accept the second-hand intelligence of their neighbour,
Lady Lucas. Her report was highly favourable. Sir William had been
delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely
agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly
with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of
dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively
hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained.
"If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield,"
said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well
married, I shall have nothing to wish for."
In a few days Mr. Bingley returned Mr. Bennet's visit, and sat about
ten minutes with him in his library. He had entertained hopes of being
admitted to a sight of the young ladies, of whose beauty he had
heard much; but he saw only the father. The ladies were somewhat more
fortunate, for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper
window that he wore a blue coat, and rode a black horse.
An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already
had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her
housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all. Mr. Bingley
was obliged to be in town the following day, and, consequently, unable
to accept the honour of their invitation, etc. Mrs. Bennet was quite
disconcerted. She could not imagine what business he could have in town
so soon after his arrival in Hertfordshire; and she began to fear that
he might be always flying about from one place to another, and never
settled at Netherfield as he ought to be. Lady Lucas quieted her fears
a little by starting the idea of his being gone to London only to get
a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed that Mr. Bingley
was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly.
The girls grieved over such a number of ladies, but were comforted the
day before the ball by hearing, that instead of twelve he brought only
six with him from London--his five sisters and a cousin. And when
the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five
altogether--Mr. Bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the eldest, and
another young man.
Mr. Bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant
countenance, and easy, unaffected manners. His sisters were fine women,
with an air of decided fashion. His brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, merely
looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention
of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and
the report which was in general circulation within five minutes
after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen
pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he
was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great
admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust
which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be
proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all
his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most
forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared
with his friend.
Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal
people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance,
was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving
one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for
themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced
only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being
introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in
walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party.
His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man
in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again.
Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of
his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his
having slighted one of her daughters.
Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit
down for two dances; and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been
standing near enough for her to hear a conversation between him and Mr.
Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend
to join it.
"Come, Darcy," said he, "I must have you dance. I hate to see you
standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better
dance."
"I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it, unless I am
particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this
it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not
another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to
stand up with."
"I would not be so fastidious as you are," cried Mr. Bingley, "for a
kingdom! Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in
my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see
uncommonly pretty."
"_You_ are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room," said Mr.
Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Bennet.
"Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one
of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I
dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you."
"Which do you mean?" and turning round he looked for a moment at
Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said:
"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt _me_; I am in no
humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted
by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her
smiles, for you are wasting your time with me."
Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth
remained with no very cordial feelings toward him. She told the story,
however, with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively,
playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous.
The evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family. Mrs.
Bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the Netherfield
party. Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been
distinguished by his sisters. Jane was as much gratified by this as
her mother could be, though in a quieter way. Elizabeth felt Jane's
pleasure. Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most
accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and Catherine and Lydia had been
fortunate enough never to be without partners, which was all that they
had yet learnt to care for at a ball. They returned, therefore, in good
spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they
were the principal inhabitants. They found Mr. Bennet still up. With
a book he was regardless of time; and on the present occasion he had a
good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised
such splendid expectations. He had rather hoped that his wife's views on
the stranger would be disappointed; but he soon found out that he had a
different story to hear.
"Oh! my dear Mr. Bennet," as she entered the room, "we have had a most
delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you had been there.
Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. Everybody said how well
she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with
her twice! Only think of _that_, my dear; he actually danced with her
twice! and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second
time. First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. I was so vexed to see him stand
up with her! But, however, he did not admire her at all; indeed, nobody
can, you know; and he seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going
down the dance. So he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and
asked her for the two next. Then the two third he danced with Miss King,
and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again,
and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the _Boulanger_--"
"If he had had any compassion for _me_," cried her husband impatiently,
"he would not have danced half so much! For God's sake, say no more of
his partners. Oh that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance!"
"Oh! my dear, I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively
handsome! And his sisters are charming women. I never in my life saw
anything more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs.
Hurst's gown--"
Here she was interrupted again. Mr. Bennet protested against any
description of finery. She was therefore obliged to seek another branch
of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit and some
exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy.
"But I can assure you," she added, "that Lizzy does not lose much by not
suiting _his_ fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at
all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited that there was no enduring
him! He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very
great! Not handsome enough to dance with! I wish you had been there, my
dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. I quite detest the man."
Chapter 4
When Jane and Elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in
her praise of Mr. Bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very
much she admired him.
"He is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible,
good-humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!--so much
ease, with such perfect good breeding!"
"He is also handsome," replied Elizabeth, "which a young man ought
likewise to be, if he possibly can. His character is thereby complete."
"I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. I
did not expect such a compliment."
"Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between
us. Compliments always take _you_ by surprise, and _me_ never. What
could be more natural than his asking you again? He could not help
seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman
in the room. No thanks to his gallantry for that. Well, he certainly is
very agreeable, and I give you leave to like him. You have liked many a
stupider person."
"Dear Lizzy!"
"Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general.
You never see a fault in anybody. All the world are good and agreeable
in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in your
life."
"I would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak
what I think."
"I know you do; and it is _that_ which makes the wonder. With _your_
good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of
others! Affectation of candour is common enough--one meets with it
everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design--to take the
good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing
of the bad--belongs to you alone. And so you like this man's sisters,
too, do you? Their manners are not equal to his."
"Certainly not--at first. But they are very pleasing women when you
converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her brother, and keep
his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming
neighbour in her."
Elizabeth listened in silence, but was not convinced; their behaviour at
the assembly had not been calculated to please in general; and with more
quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister,
and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself, she
was very little disposed to approve them. They were in fact very fine
ladies; not deficient in good humour when they were pleased, nor in the
power of making themselves agreeable when they chose it, but proud and
conceited. They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the
first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand
pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of
associating with people of rank, and were therefore in every respect
entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. They were of
a respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more deeply
impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and their
own had been acquired by trade.
Mr. Bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred
thousand pounds from his father, who had intended to purchase an
estate, but did not live to do it. Mr. Bingley intended it likewise, and
sometimes made choice of his county; but as he was now provided with a
good house and the liberty of a manor, it was doubtful to many of those
who best knew the easiness of his temper, whether he might not spend the
remainder of his days at Netherfield, and leave the next generation to
purchase.
His sisters were anxious for his having an estate of his own; but,
though he was now only established as a tenant, Miss Bingley was by no
means unwilling to preside at his table--nor was Mrs. Hurst, who had
married a man of more fashion than fortune, less disposed to consider
his house as her home when it suited her. Mr. Bingley had not been of
age two years, when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation
to look at Netherfield House. He did look at it, and into it for
half-an-hour--was pleased with the situation and the principal
rooms, satisfied with what the owner said in its praise, and took it
immediately.
Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of
great opposition of character. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the
easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition
could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he
never appeared dissatisfied. On the strength of Darcy's regard, Bingley
had the firmest reliance, and of his judgement the highest opinion.
In understanding, Darcy was the superior. Bingley was by no means
deficient, but Darcy was clever. He was at the same time haughty,
reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well-bred, were not
inviting. In that respect his friend had greatly the advantage. Bingley
was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually
giving offense.
The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently
characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or
prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive
to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt
acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss Bennet, he could not
conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a
collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for
none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received
either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty,
but she smiled too much.
Mrs. Hurst and her sister allowed it to be so--but still they admired
her and liked her, and pronounced her to be a sweet girl, and one
whom they would not object to know more of. Miss Bennet was therefore
established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorized by such
commendation to think of her as he chose.
Chapter 5
Within a short walk of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets
were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade
in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the
honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.
The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a
disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town;
and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house
about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge,
where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and,
unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all
the world. For, though elated by his rank, it did not render him
supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By
nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at St.
James's had made him courteous.
Lady Lucas was a very good kind of woman, not too clever to be a
valuable neighbour to Mrs. Bennet. They had several children. The eldest
of them, a sensible, intelligent young woman, about twenty-seven, was
Elizabeth's intimate friend.
That the Miss Lucases and the Miss Bennets should meet to talk over
a ball was absolutely necessary; and the morning after the assembly
brought the former to Longbourn to hear and to communicate.
"_You_ began the evening well, Charlotte," said Mrs. Bennet with civil
self-command to Miss Lucas. "_You_ were Mr. Bingley's first choice."
"Yes; but he seemed to like his second better."
"Oh! you mean Jane, I suppose, because he danced with her twice. To be
sure that _did_ seem as if he admired her--indeed I rather believe he
_did_--I heard something about it--but I hardly know what--something
about Mr. Robinson."
"Perhaps you mean what I overheard between him and Mr. Robinson; did not
I mention it to you? Mr. Robinson's asking him how he liked our Meryton
assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many
pretty women in the room, and _which_ he thought the prettiest? and his
answering immediately to the last question: 'Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet,
beyond a doubt; there cannot be two opinions on that point.'"
"Upon my word! Well, that is very decided indeed--that does seem as
if--but, however, it may all come to nothing, you know."
"_My_ overhearings were more to the purpose than _yours_, Eliza," said
Charlotte. "Mr. Darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend,
is he?--poor Eliza!--to be only just _tolerable_."
"I beg you would not put it into Lizzy's head to be vexed by his
ill-treatment, for he is such a disagreeable man, that it would be quite
a misfortune to be liked by him. Mrs. Long told me last night that he
sat close to her for half-an-hour without once opening his lips."
"Are you quite sure, ma'am?--is not there a little mistake?" said Jane.
"I certainly saw Mr. Darcy speaking to her."
"Aye--because she asked him at last how he liked Netherfield, and he
could not help answering her; but she said he seemed quite angry at
being spoke to."
"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that he never speaks much,
unless among his intimate acquaintances. With _them_ he is remarkably
agreeable."
"I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very
agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it
was; everybody says that he is eat up with pride, and I dare say he had
heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had come to
the ball in a hack chaise."
"I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long," said Miss Lucas, "but I
wish he had danced with Eliza."
"Another time, Lizzy," said her mother, "I would not dance with _him_,
if I were you."
"I believe, ma'am, I may safely promise you _never_ to dance with him."
"His pride," said Miss Lucas, "does not offend _me_ so much as pride
often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so
very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour,
should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a _right_
to be proud."
"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive
_his_ pride, if he had not mortified _mine_."
"Pride," observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her
reflections, "is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have
ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human
nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us
who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some
quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different
things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may
be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of
ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
"If I were as rich as Mr. Darcy," cried a young Lucas, who came with
his sisters, "I should not care how proud I was. I would keep a pack of
foxhounds, and drink a bottle of wine a day."
"Then you would drink a great deal more than you ought," said Mrs.
Bennet; "and if I were to see you at it, I should take away your bottle
directly."
The boy protested that she should not; she continued to declare that she
would, and the argument ended only with the visit.
Chapter 6
The ladies of Longbourn soon waited on those of Netherfield. The visit
was soon returned in due form. Miss Bennet's pleasing manners grew on
the goodwill of Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and though the mother was
found to be intolerable, and the younger sisters not worth speaking to,
a wish of being better acquainted with _them_ was expressed towards
the two eldest. By Jane, this attention was received with the greatest
pleasure, but Elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment
of everybody, hardly excepting even her sister, and could not like them;
though their kindness to Jane, such as it was, had a value as arising in
all probability from the influence of their brother's admiration. It
was generally evident whenever they met, that he _did_ admire her and
to _her_ it was equally evident that Jane was yielding to the preference
which she had begun to entertain for him from the first, and was in a
way to be very much in love; but she considered with pleasure that it
was not likely to be discovered by the world in general, since Jane
united, with great strength of feeling, a composure of temper and a
uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard her from the suspicions
of the impertinent. She mentioned this to her friend Miss Lucas.
"It may perhaps be pleasant," replied Charlotte, "to be able to impose
on the public in such a case; but it is sometimes a disadvantage to be
so very guarded. If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill
from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and
it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in
the dark. There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every
attachment, that it is not safe to leave any to itself. We can all
_begin_ freely--a slight preference is natural enough; but there are
very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without
encouragement. In nine cases out of ten a women had better show _more_
affection than she feels. Bingley likes your sister undoubtedly; but he
may never do more than like her, if she does not help him on."
"But she does help him on, as much as her nature will allow. If I can
perceive her regard for him, he must be a simpleton, indeed, not to
discover it too."
"Remember, Eliza, that he does not know Jane's disposition as you do."
"But if a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal
it, he must find it out."
"Perhaps he must, if he sees enough of her. But, though Bingley and Jane
meet tolerably often, it is never for many hours together; and, as they
always see each other in large mixed parties, it is impossible that
every moment should be employed in conversing together. Jane should
therefore make the most of every half-hour in which she can command his
attention. When she is secure of him, there will be more leisure for
falling in love as much as she chooses."
"Your plan is a good one," replied Elizabeth, "where nothing is in
question but the desire of being well married, and if I were determined
to get a rich husband, or any husband, I dare say I should adopt it. But
these are not Jane's feelings; she is not acting by design. As yet,
she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its
reasonableness. She has known him only a fortnight. She danced four
dances with him at Meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house,
and has since dined with him in company four times. This is not quite
enough to make her understand his character."
"Not as you represent it. Had she merely _dined_ with him, she might
only have discovered whether he had a good appetite; but you must
remember that four evenings have also been spent together--and four
evenings may do a great deal."
"Yes; these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they
both like Vingt-un better than Commerce; but with respect to any other
leading characteristic, I do not imagine that much has been unfolded."
"Well," said Charlotte, "I wish Jane success with all my heart; and
if she were married to him to-morrow, I should think she had as good a
chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a
twelvemonth. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If
the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or
ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the
least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to
have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as
possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your
life."
"You make me laugh, Charlotte; but it is not sound. You know it is not
sound, and that you would never act in this way yourself."
Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth
was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some
interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely
allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the
ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no
sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly
had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered
uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To
this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had
detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry
in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and
pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those
of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. Of
this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made
himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough
to dance with.
He began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing
with her himself, attended to her conversation with others. His doing so
drew her notice. It was at Sir William Lucas's, where a large party were
assembled.
"What does Mr. Darcy mean," said she to Charlotte, "by listening to my
conversation with Colonel Forster?"
"That is a question which Mr. Darcy only can answer."
"But if he does it any more I shall certainly let him know that I see
what he is about. He has a very satirical eye, and if I do not begin by
being impertinent myself, I shall soon grow afraid of him."
On his approaching them soon afterwards, though without seeming to have
any intention of speaking, Miss Lucas defied her friend to mention such
a subject to him; which immediately provoking Elizabeth to do it, she
turned to him and said:
"Did you not think, Mr. Darcy, that I expressed myself uncommonly
well just now, when I was teasing Colonel Forster to give us a ball at
Meryton?"
"With great energy; but it is always a subject which makes a lady
energetic."
"You are severe on us."
"It will be _her_ turn soon to be teased," said Miss Lucas. "I am going
to open the instrument, Eliza, and you know what follows."
"You are a very strange creature by way of a friend!--always wanting me
to play and sing before anybody and everybody! If my vanity had taken
a musical turn, you would have been invaluable; but as it is, I would
really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of
hearing the very best performers." On Miss Lucas's persevering, however,
she added, "Very well, if it must be so, it must." And gravely glancing
at Mr. Darcy, "There is a fine old saying, which everybody here is of
course familiar with: 'Keep your breath to cool your porridge'; and I
shall keep mine to swell my song."
Her performance was pleasing, though by no means capital. After a song
or two, and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that
she would sing again, she was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her
sister Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in
the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always
impatient for display.
Mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her
application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited
manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she
had reached. Elizabeth, easy and unaffected, had been listened to with
much more pleasure, though not playing half so well; and Mary, at the
end of a long concerto, was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by
Scotch and Irish airs, at the request of her younger sisters, who,
with some of the Lucases, and two or three officers, joined eagerly in
dancing at one end of the room.
Mr. Darcy stood near them in silent indignation at such a mode of
passing the evening, to the exclusion of all conversation, and was too
much engrossed by his thoughts to perceive that Sir William Lucas was
his neighbour, till Sir William thus began:
"What a charming amusement for young people this is, Mr. Darcy! There
is nothing like dancing after all. I consider it as one of the first
refinements of polished society."
"Certainly, sir; and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst
the less polished societies of the world. Every savage can dance."
Sir William only smiled. "Your friend performs delightfully," he
continued after a pause, on seeing Bingley join the group; "and I doubt
not that you are an adept in the science yourself, Mr. Darcy."
"You saw me dance at Meryton, I believe, sir."
"Yes, indeed, and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight. Do
you often dance at St. James's?"
"Never, sir."
"Do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place?"
"It is a compliment which I never pay to any place if I can avoid it."
"You have a house in town, I conclude?"
Mr. Darcy bowed.
"I had once had some thought of fixing in town myself--for I am fond
of superior society; but I did not feel quite certain that the air of
London would agree with Lady Lucas."
He paused in hopes of an answer; but his companion was not disposed
to make any; and Elizabeth at that instant moving towards them, he was
struck with the action of doing a very gallant thing, and called out to
her:
"My dear Miss Eliza, why are you not dancing? Mr. Darcy, you must allow
me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner. You
cannot refuse to dance, I am sure when so much beauty is before you."
And, taking her hand, he would have given it to Mr. Darcy who, though
extremely surprised, was not unwilling to receive it, when she instantly
drew back, and said with some discomposure to Sir William:
"Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of dancing. I entreat you
not to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner."
Mr. Darcy, with grave propriety, requested to be allowed the honour of
her hand, but in vain. Elizabeth was determined; nor did Sir William at
all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasion.
"You excel so much in the dance, Miss Eliza, that it is cruel to deny
me the happiness of seeing you; and though this gentleman dislikes the
amusement in general, he can have no objection, I am sure, to oblige us
for one half-hour."
"Mr. Darcy is all politeness," said Elizabeth, smiling.
"He is, indeed; but, considering the inducement, my dear Miss Eliza,
we cannot wonder at his complaisance--for who would object to such a
partner?"
Elizabeth looked archly, and turned away. Her resistance had not
injured her with the gentleman, and he was thinking of her with some
complacency, when thus accosted by Miss Bingley:
"I can guess the subject of your reverie."
"I should imagine not."
"You are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings
in this manner--in such society; and indeed I am quite of your opinion.
I was never more annoyed! The insipidity, and yet the noise--the
nothingness, and yet the self-importance of all those people! What would
I give to hear your strictures on them!"
"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more
agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure
which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
Miss Bingley immediately fixed her eyes on his face, and desired he
would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such reflections.
Mr. Darcy replied with great intrepidity:
"Miss Elizabeth Bennet."
"Miss Elizabeth Bennet!" repeated Miss Bingley. "I am all astonishment.
How long has she been such a favourite?--and pray, when am I to wish you
joy?"
"That is exactly the question which I expected you to ask. A lady's
imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love
to matrimony, in a moment. I knew you would be wishing me joy."
"Nay, if you are serious about it, I shall consider the matter is
absolutely settled. You will be having a charming mother-in-law, indeed;
and, of course, she will always be at Pemberley with you."
He listened to her with perfect indifference while she chose to
entertain herself in this manner; and as his composure convinced her
that all was safe, her wit flowed long.
Chapter 7
Mr. Bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two
thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed,
in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's
fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply
the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and
had left her four thousand pounds.
She had a sister married to a Mr. Phillips, who had been a clerk to
their father and succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in
London in a respectable line of trade.
The village of Longbourn was only one mile from Meryton; a most
convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted
thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt and
to a milliner's shop just over the way. The two youngest of the family,
Catherine and Lydia, were particularly frequent in these attentions;
their minds were more vacant than their sisters', and when nothing
better offered, a walk to Meryton was necessary to amuse their morning
hours and furnish conversation for the evening; and however bare of news
the country in general might be, they always contrived to learn some
from their aunt. At present, indeed, they were well supplied both with
news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the
neighbourhood; it was to remain the whole winter, and Meryton was the
headquarters.
Their visits to Mrs. Phillips were now productive of the most
interesting intelligence. Every day added something to their knowledge
of the officers' names and connections. Their lodgings were not long a
secret, and at length they began to know the officers themselves. Mr.
Phillips visited them all, and this opened to his nieces a store of
felicity unknown before. They could talk of nothing but officers; and
Mr. Bingley's large fortune, the mention of which gave animation
to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the
regimentals of an ensign.
After listening one morning to their effusions on this subject, Mr.
Bennet coolly observed:
"From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two
of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but
I am now convinced."
Catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect
indifference, continued to express her admiration of Captain Carter,
and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the
next morning to London.
"I am astonished, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "that you should be so
ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly
of anybody's children, it should not be of my own, however."
"If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it."
"Yes--but as it happens, they are all of them very clever."
"This is the only point, I flatter myself, on which we do not agree. I
had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but I must
so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly
foolish."
"My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of
their father and mother. When they get to our age, I dare say they will
not think about officers any more than we do. I remember the time when
I liked a red coat myself very well--and, indeed, so I do still at my
heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year,
should want one of my girls I shall not say nay to him; and I thought
Colonel Forster looked very becoming the other night at Sir William's in
his regimentals."
"Mamma," cried Lydia, "my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain
Carter do not go so often to Miss Watson's as they did when they first
came; she sees them now very often standing in Clarke's library."
Mrs. Bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with
a note for Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and the servant waited
for an answer. Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was
eagerly calling out, while her daughter read,
"Well, Jane, who is it from? What is it about? What does he say? Well,
Jane, make haste and tell us; make haste, my love."
"It is from Miss Bingley," said Jane, and then read it aloud.
"MY DEAR FRIEND,--
"If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me,
we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives,
for a whole day's tete-a-tete between two women can never end without a
quarrel. Come as soon as you can on receipt of this. My brother and the
gentlemen are to dine with the officers.--Yours ever,
"CAROLINE BINGLEY"
"With the officers!" cried Lydia. "I wonder my aunt did not tell us of
_that_."
"Dining out," said Mrs. Bennet, "that is very unlucky."
"Can I have the carriage?" said Jane.
"No, my dear, you had better go on horseback, because it seems likely to
rain; and then you must stay all night."
"That would be a good scheme," said Elizabeth, "if you were sure that
they would not offer to send her home."
"Oh! but the gentlemen will have Mr. Bingley's chaise to go to Meryton,
and the Hursts have no horses to theirs."
"I had much rather go in the coach."
"But, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, I am sure. They are
wanted in the farm, Mr. Bennet, are they not?"
"They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them."
"But if you have got them to-day," said Elizabeth, "my mother's purpose
will be answered."
She did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses
were engaged. Jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback, and her
mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a
bad day. Her hopes were answered; Jane had not been gone long before
it rained hard. Her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was
delighted. The rain continued the whole evening without intermission;
Jane certainly could not come back.
"This was a lucky idea of mine, indeed!" said Mrs. Bennet more than
once, as if the credit of making it rain were all her own. Till the
next morning, however, she was not aware of all the felicity of her
contrivance. Breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from Netherfield
brought the following note for Elizabeth:
"MY DEAREST LIZZY,--
"I find myself very unwell this morning, which, I suppose, is to be
imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. My kind friends will not
hear of my returning till I am better. They insist also on my seeing Mr.
Jones--therefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been
to me--and, excepting a sore throat and headache, there is not much the
matter with me.--Yours, etc."
"Well, my dear," said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note
aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness--if she
should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of
Mr. Bingley, and under your orders."
"Oh! I am not afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling
colds. She will be taken good care of. As long as she stays there, it is
all very well. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage."
Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, was determined to go to her, though
the carriage was not to be had; and as she was no horsewoman, walking
was her only alternative. She declared her resolution.
"How can you be so silly," cried her mother, "as to think of such a
thing, in all this dirt! You will not be fit to be seen when you get
there."
"I shall be very fit to see Jane--which is all I want."
"Is this a hint to me, Lizzy," said her father, "to send for the
horses?"
"No, indeed, I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing
when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner."
"I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every
impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion,
exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."
"We will go as far as Meryton with you," said Catherine and Lydia.
Elizabeth accepted their company, and the three young ladies set off
together.
"If we make haste," said Lydia, as they walked along, "perhaps we may
see something of Captain Carter before he goes."
In Meryton they parted; the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one
of the officers' wives, and Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing
field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing
over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last
within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face
glowing with the warmth of exercise.
She was shown into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were
assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise.
That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such
dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and
Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt
for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their
brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there
was good humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr.
Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the
brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as
to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was
thinking only of his breakfast.
Her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. Miss
Bennet had slept ill, and though up, was very feverish, and not
well enough to leave her room. Elizabeth was glad to be taken to her
immediately; and Jane, who had only been withheld by the fear of giving
alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed
for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance. She was not equal,
however, to much conversation, and when Miss Bingley left them
together, could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the
extraordinary kindness she was treated with. Elizabeth silently attended
her.
When breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters; and Elizabeth
began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and
solicitude they showed for Jane. The apothecary came, and having
examined his patient, said, as might be supposed, that she had caught
a violent cold, and that they must endeavour to get the better of it;
advised her to return to bed, and promised her some draughts. The advice
was followed readily, for the feverish symptoms increased, and her head
ached acutely. Elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment; nor were
the other ladies often absent; the gentlemen being out, they had, in
fact, nothing to do elsewhere.
When the clock struck three, Elizabeth felt that she must go, and very
unwillingly said so. Miss Bingley offered her the carriage, and she only
wanted a little pressing to accept it, when Jane testified such concern
in parting with her, that Miss Bingley was obliged to convert the offer
of the chaise to an invitation to remain at Netherfield for the present.
Elizabeth most thankfully consented, and a servant was dispatched to
Longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply
of clothes.
Chapter 8
At five o'clock the two ladies retired to dress, and at half-past six
Elizabeth was summoned to dinner. To the civil inquiries which then
poured in, and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the
much superior solicitude of Mr. Bingley's, she could not make a very
favourable answer. Jane was by no means better. The sisters, on hearing
this, repeated three or four times how much they were grieved, how
shocking it was to have a bad cold, and how excessively they disliked
being ill themselves; and then thought no more of the matter: and their
indifference towards Jane when not immediately before them restored
Elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike.
Their brother, indeed, was the only one of the party whom she could
regard with any complacency. His anxiety for Jane was evident, and his
attentions to herself most pleasing, and they prevented her feeling
herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the
others. She had very little notice from any but him. Miss Bingley was
engrossed by Mr. Darcy, her sister scarcely less so; and as for Mr.
Hurst, by whom Elizabeth sat, he was an indolent man, who lived only to
eat, drink, and play at cards; who, when he found her to prefer a plain
dish to a ragout, had nothing to say to her.
When dinner was over, she returned directly to Jane, and Miss Bingley
began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were
pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence;
she had no conversation, no style, no beauty. Mrs. Hurst thought the
same, and added:
"She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent
walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really
looked almost wild."
"She did, indeed, Louisa. I could hardly keep my countenance. Very
nonsensical to come at all! Why must _she_ be scampering about the
country, because her sister had a cold? Her hair, so untidy, so blowsy!"
"Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep
in mud, I am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to
hide it not doing its office."
"Your picture may be very exact, Louisa," said Bingley; "but this was
all lost upon me. I thought Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked remarkably
well when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite
escaped my notice."
"_You_ observed it, Mr. Darcy, I am sure," said Miss Bingley; "and I am
inclined to think that you would not wish to see _your_ sister make such
an exhibition."
"Certainly not."
"To walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles, or whatever it is,
above her ankles in dirt, and alone, quite alone! What could she mean by
it? It seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence,
a most country-town indifference to decorum."
"It shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing," said
Bingley.
"I am afraid, Mr. Darcy," observed Miss Bingley in a half whisper, "that
this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes."
"Not at all," he replied; "they were brightened by the exercise." A
short pause followed this speech, and Mrs. Hurst began again:
"I have an excessive regard for Miss Jane Bennet, she is really a very
sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with
such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is
no chance of it."
"I think I have heard you say that their uncle is an attorney in
Meryton."
"Yes; and they have another, who lives somewhere near Cheapside."
"That is capital," added her sister, and they both laughed heartily.
"If they had uncles enough to fill _all_ Cheapside," cried Bingley, "it
would not make them one jot less agreeable."
"But it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any
consideration in the world," replied Darcy.
To this speech Bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it their
hearty assent, and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of
their dear friend's vulgar relations.
With a renewal of tenderness, however, they returned to her room on
leaving the dining-parlour, and sat with her till summoned to coffee.
She was still very poorly, and Elizabeth would not quit her at all, till
late in the evening, when she had the comfort of seeing her sleep, and
when it seemed to her rather right than pleasant that she should go
downstairs herself. On entering the drawing-room she found the whole
party at loo, and was immediately invited to join them; but suspecting
them to be playing high she declined it, and making her sister the
excuse, said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay
below, with a book. Mr. Hurst looked at her with astonishment.
"Do you prefer reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular."
"Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great
reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."
"I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth; "I am
_not_ a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."
"In nursing your sister I am sure you have pleasure," said Bingley; "and
I hope it will be soon increased by seeing her quite well."
Elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and then walked towards the
table where a few books were lying. He immediately offered to fetch her
others--all that his library afforded.
"And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own
credit; but I am an idle fellow, and though I have not many, I have more
than I ever looked into."
Elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those
in the room.
"I am astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have left
so small a collection of books. What a delightful library you have at
Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!"
"It ought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of many
generations."
"And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying
books."
"I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as
these."
"Neglect! I am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of
that noble place. Charles, when you build _your_ house, I wish it may be
half as delightful as Pemberley."
"I wish it may."
"But I would really advise you to make your purchase in that
neighbourhood, and take Pemberley for a kind of model. There is not a
finer county in England than Derbyshire."
"With all my heart; I will buy Pemberley itself if Darcy will sell it."
"I am talking of possibilities, Charles."
"Upon my word, Caroline, I should think it more possible to get
Pemberley by purchase than by imitation."
Elizabeth was so much caught with what passed, as to leave her very
little attention for her book; and soon laying it wholly aside, she drew
near the card-table, and stationed herself between Mr. Bingley and his
eldest sister, to observe the game.
"Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?" said Miss Bingley; "will
she be as tall as I am?"
"I think she will. She is now about Miss Elizabeth Bennet's height, or
rather taller."
"How I long to see her again! I never met with anybody who delighted me
so much. Such a countenance, such manners! And so extremely accomplished
for her age! Her performance on the pianoforte is exquisite."
"It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "how young ladies can have patience
to be so very accomplished as they all are."
"All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?"
"Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover screens, and
net purses. I scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this, and I am sure
I never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being
informed that she was very accomplished."
"Your list of the common extent of accomplishments," said Darcy, "has
too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no
otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen. But I am very
far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general. I
cannot boast of knowing more than half-a-dozen, in the whole range of my
acquaintance, that are really accomplished."
"Nor I, I am sure," said Miss Bingley.
"Then," observed Elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great deal in your
idea of an accomplished woman."
"Yes, I do comprehend a great deal in it."
"Oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can be really
esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met
with. A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing,
dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides
all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of
walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word
will be but half-deserved."
"All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must
yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by
extensive reading."
"I am no longer surprised at your knowing _only_ six accomplished women.
I rather wonder now at your knowing _any_."
"Are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all
this?"
"I never saw such a woman. I never saw such capacity, and taste, and
application, and elegance, as you describe united."
Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley both cried out against the injustice of her
implied doubt, and were both protesting that they knew many women who
answered this description, when Mr. Hurst called them to order, with
bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward. As all
conversation was thereby at an end, Elizabeth soon afterwards left the
room.
"Elizabeth Bennet," said Miss Bingley, when the door was closed on her,
"is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the
other sex by undervaluing their own; and with many men, I dare say, it
succeeds. But, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art."
"Undoubtedly," replied Darcy, to whom this remark was chiefly addressed,
"there is a meanness in _all_ the arts which ladies sometimes condescend
to employ for captivation. Whatever bears affinity to cunning is
despicable."
Miss Bingley was not so entirely satisfied with this reply as to
continue the subject.
Elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse, and
that she could not leave her. Bingley urged Mr. Jones being sent for
immediately; while his sisters, convinced that no country advice could
be of any service, recommended an express to town for one of the most
eminent physicians. This she would not hear of; but she was not so
unwilling to comply with their brother's proposal; and it was settled
that Mr. Jones should be sent for early in the morning, if Miss Bennet
were not decidedly better. Bingley was quite uncomfortable; his sisters
declared that they were miserable. They solaced their wretchedness,
however, by duets after supper, while he could find no better relief
to his feelings than by giving his housekeeper directions that every
attention might be paid to the sick lady and her sister.
Chapter 9
Elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sister's room, and in the
morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the
inquiries which she very early received from Mr. Bingley by a housemaid,
and some time afterwards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his
sisters. In spite of this amendment, however, she requested to have a
note sent to Longbourn, desiring her mother to visit Jane, and form her
own judgement of her situation. The note was immediately dispatched, and
its contents as quickly complied with. Mrs. Bennet, accompanied by her
two youngest girls, reached Netherfield soon after the family breakfast.
Had she found Jane in any apparent danger, Mrs. Bennet would have been
very miserable; but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was
not alarming, she had no wish of her recovering immediately, as her
restoration to health would probably remove her from Netherfield. She
would not listen, therefore, to her daughter's proposal of being carried
home; neither did the apothecary, who arrived about the same time, think
it at all advisable. After sitting a little while with Jane, on Miss
Bingley's appearance and invitation, the mother and three daughters all
attended her into the breakfast parlour. Bingley met them with hopes
that Mrs. Bennet had not found Miss Bennet worse than she expected.
"Indeed I have, sir," was her answer. "She is a great deal too ill to be
moved. Mr. Jones says we must not think of moving her. We must trespass
a little longer on your kindness."
"Removed!" cried Bingley. "It must not be thought of. My sister, I am
sure, will not hear of her removal."
"You may depend upon it, Madam," said Miss Bingley, with cold civility,
"that Miss Bennet will receive every possible attention while she
remains with us."
Mrs. Bennet was profuse in her acknowledgments.
"I am sure," she added, "if it was not for such good friends I do not
know what would become of her, for she is very ill indeed, and suffers
a vast deal, though with the greatest patience in the world, which is
always the way with her, for she has, without exception, the sweetest
temper I have ever met with. I often tell my other girls they are
nothing to _her_. You have a sweet room here, Mr. Bingley, and a
charming prospect over the gravel walk. I do not know a place in the
country that is equal to Netherfield. You will not think of quitting it
in a hurry, I hope, though you have but a short lease."
"Whatever I do is done in a hurry," replied he; "and therefore if I
should resolve to quit Netherfield, I should probably be off in five
minutes. At present, however, I consider myself as quite fixed here."
"That is exactly what I should have supposed of you," said Elizabeth.
"You begin to comprehend me, do you?" cried he, turning towards her.
"Oh! yes--I understand you perfectly."
"I wish I might take this for a compliment; but to be so easily seen
through I am afraid is pitiful."
"That is as it happens. It does not follow that a deep, intricate
character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours."
"Lizzy," cried her mother, "remember where you are, and do not run on in
the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home."
"I did not know before," continued Bingley immediately, "that you were a
studier of character. It must be an amusing study."
"Yes, but intricate characters are the _most_ amusing. They have at
least that advantage."
"The country," said Darcy, "can in general supply but a few subjects for
such a study. In a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and
unvarying society."
"But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be
observed in them for ever."
"Yes, indeed," cried Mrs. Bennet, offended by his manner of mentioning
a country neighbourhood. "I assure you there is quite as much of _that_
going on in the country as in town."
Everybody was surprised, and Darcy, after looking at her for a moment,
turned silently away. Mrs. Bennet, who fancied she had gained a complete
victory over him, continued her triumph.
"I cannot see that London has any great advantage over the country, for
my part, except the shops and public places. The country is a vast deal
pleasanter, is it not, Mr. Bingley?"
"When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it;
and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their
advantages, and I can be equally happy in either."
"Aye--that is because you have the right disposition. But that
gentleman," looking at Darcy, "seemed to think the country was nothing
at all."
"Indeed, Mamma, you are mistaken," said Elizabeth, blushing for her
mother. "You quite mistook Mr. Darcy. He only meant that there was not
such a variety of people to be met with in the country as in the town,
which you must acknowledge to be true."
"Certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting
with many people in this neighbourhood, I believe there are few
neighbourhoods larger. I know we dine with four-and-twenty families."
Nothing but concern for Elizabeth could enable Bingley to keep his
countenance. His sister was less delicate, and directed her eyes towards
Mr. Darcy with a very expressive smile. Elizabeth, for the sake of
saying something that might turn her mother's thoughts, now asked her if
Charlotte Lucas had been at Longbourn since _her_ coming away.
"Yes, she called yesterday with her father. What an agreeable man Sir
William is, Mr. Bingley, is not he? So much the man of fashion! So
genteel and easy! He has always something to say to everybody. _That_
is my idea of good breeding; and those persons who fancy themselves very
important, and never open their mouths, quite mistake the matter."
"Did Charlotte dine with you?"
"No, she would go home. I fancy she was wanted about the mince-pies. For
my part, Mr. Bingley, I always keep servants that can do their own work;
_my_ daughters are brought up very differently. But everybody is to
judge for themselves, and the Lucases are a very good sort of girls,
I assure you. It is a pity they are not handsome! Not that I think
Charlotte so _very_ plain--but then she is our particular friend."
"She seems a very pleasant young woman."
"Oh! dear, yes; but you must own she is very plain. Lady Lucas herself
has often said so, and envied me Jane's beauty. I do not like to boast
of my own child, but to be sure, Jane--one does not often see anybody
better looking. It is what everybody says. I do not trust my own
partiality. When she was only fifteen, there was a man at my brother
Gardiner's in town so much in love with her that my sister-in-law was
sure he would make her an offer before we came away. But, however, he
did not. Perhaps he thought her too young. However, he wrote some verses
on her, and very pretty they were."
"And so ended his affection," said Elizabeth impatiently. "There has
been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first
discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!"
"I have been used to consider poetry as the _food_ of love," said Darcy.
"Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is
strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I
am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."
Darcy only smiled; and the general pause which ensued made Elizabeth
tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again. She longed to
speak, but could think of nothing to say; and after a short silence Mrs.
Bennet began repeating her thanks to Mr. Bingley for his kindness to
Jane, with an apology for troubling him also with Lizzy. Mr. Bingley was
unaffectedly civil in his answer, and forced his younger sister to be
civil also, and say what the occasion required. She performed her part
indeed without much graciousness, but Mrs. Bennet was satisfied, and
soon afterwards ordered her carriage. Upon this signal, the youngest of
her daughters put herself forward. The two girls had been whispering to
each other during the whole visit, and the result of it was, that the
youngest should tax Mr. Bingley with having promised on his first coming
into the country to give a ball at Netherfield.
Lydia was a stout, well-grown girl of fifteen, with a fine complexion
and good-humoured countenance; a favourite with her mother, whose
affection had brought her into public at an early age. She had high
animal spirits, and a sort of natural self-consequence, which the
attention of the officers, to whom her uncle's good dinners, and her own
easy manners recommended her, had increased into assurance. She was very
equal, therefore, to address Mr. Bingley on the subject of the ball, and
abruptly reminded him of his promise; adding, that it would be the most
shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it. His answer to this
sudden attack was delightful to their mother's ear:
"I am perfectly ready, I assure you, to keep my engagement; and when
your sister is recovered, you shall, if you please, name the very day of
the ball. But you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill."
Lydia declared herself satisfied. "Oh! yes--it would be much better to
wait till Jane was well, and by that time most likely Captain Carter
would be at Meryton again. And when you have given _your_ ball," she
added, "I shall insist on their giving one also. I shall tell Colonel
Forster it will be quite a shame if he does not."
Mrs. Bennet and her daughters then departed, and Elizabeth returned
instantly to Jane, leaving her own and her relations' behaviour to the
remarks of the two ladies and Mr. Darcy; the latter of whom, however,
could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of _her_, in spite of
all Miss Bingley's witticisms on _fine eyes_.
Chapter 10
The day passed much as the day before had done. Mrs. Hurst and Miss
Bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who
continued, though slowly, to mend; and in the evening Elizabeth joined
their party in the drawing-room. The loo-table, however, did not appear.
Mr. Darcy was writing, and Miss Bingley, seated near him, was watching
the progress of his letter and repeatedly calling off his attention by
messages to his sister. Mr. Hurst and Mr. Bingley were at piquet, and
Mrs. Hurst was observing their game.
Elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused in
attending to what passed between Darcy and his companion. The perpetual
commendations of the lady, either on his handwriting, or on the evenness
of his lines, or on the length of his letter, with the perfect unconcern
with which her praises were received, formed a curious dialogue, and was
exactly in union with her opinion of each.
"How delighted Miss Darcy will be to receive such a letter!"
He made no answer.
"You write uncommonly fast."
"You are mistaken. I write rather slowly."
"How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a
year! Letters of business, too! How odious I should think them!"
"It is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of yours."
"Pray tell your sister that I long to see her."
"I have already told her so once, by your desire."
"I am afraid you do not like your pen. Let me mend it for you. I mend
pens remarkably well."
"Thank you--but I always mend my own."
"How can you contrive to write so even?"
He was silent.
"Tell your sister I am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp;
and pray let her know that I am quite in raptures with her beautiful
little design for a table, and I think it infinitely superior to Miss
Grantley's."
"Will you give me leave to defer your raptures till I write again? At
present I have not room to do them justice."
"Oh! it is of no consequence. I shall see her in January. But do you
always write such charming long letters to her, Mr. Darcy?"
"They are generally long; but whether always charming it is not for me
to determine."
"It is a rule with me, that a person who can write a long letter with
ease, cannot write ill."
"That will not do for a compliment to Darcy, Caroline," cried her
brother, "because he does _not_ write with ease. He studies too much for
words of four syllables. Do not you, Darcy?"
"My style of writing is very different from yours."
"Oh!" cried Miss Bingley, "Charles writes in the most careless way
imaginable. He leaves out half his words, and blots the rest."
"My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them--by which
means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents."
"Your humility, Mr. Bingley," said Elizabeth, "must disarm reproof."
"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of
humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an
indirect boast."
"And which of the two do you call _my_ little recent piece of modesty?"
"The indirect boast; for you are really proud of your defects in
writing, because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of
thought and carelessness of execution, which, if not estimable, you
think at least highly interesting. The power of doing anything with
quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any
attention to the imperfection of the performance. When you told Mrs.
Bennet this morning that if you ever resolved upon quitting Netherfield
you should be gone in five minutes, you meant it to be a sort of
panegyric, of compliment to yourself--and yet what is there so very
laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business
undone, and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else?"
"Nay," cried Bingley, "this is too much, to remember at night all the
foolish things that were said in the morning. And yet, upon my honour,
I believe what I said of myself to be true, and I believe it at this
moment. At least, therefore, I did not assume the character of needless
precipitance merely to show off before the ladies."
"I dare say you believed it; but I am by no means convinced that
you would be gone with such celerity. Your conduct would be quite as
dependent on chance as that of any man I know; and if, as you were
mounting your horse, a friend were to say, 'Bingley, you had better
stay till next week,' you would probably do it, you would probably not
go--and at another word, might stay a month."
"You have only proved by this," cried Elizabeth, "that Mr. Bingley did
not do justice to his own disposition. You have shown him off now much
more than he did himself."
"I am exceedingly gratified," said Bingley, "by your converting what my
friend says into a compliment on the sweetness of my temper. But I am
afraid you are giving it a turn which that gentleman did by no means
intend; for he would certainly think better of me, if under such a
circumstance I were to give a flat denial, and ride off as fast as I
could."
"Would Mr. Darcy then consider the rashness of your original intentions
as atoned for by your obstinacy in adhering to it?"
"Upon my word, I cannot exactly explain the matter; Darcy must speak for
himself."
"You expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine,
but which I have never acknowledged. Allowing the case, however, to
stand according to your representation, you must remember, Miss Bennet,
that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house, and
the delay of his plan, has merely desired it, asked it without offering
one argument in favour of its propriety."
"To yield readily--easily--to the _persuasion_ of a friend is no merit
with you."
"To yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of
either."
"You appear to me, Mr. Darcy, to allow nothing for the influence of
friendship and affection. A regard for the requester would often make
one readily yield to a request, without waiting for arguments to reason
one into it. I am not particularly speaking of such a case as you have
supposed about Mr. Bingley. We may as well wait, perhaps, till the
circumstance occurs before we discuss the discretion of his behaviour
thereupon. But in general and ordinary cases between friend and friend,
where one of them is desired by the other to change a resolution of no
very great moment, should you think ill of that person for complying
with the desire, without waiting to be argued into it?"
"Will it not be advisable, before we proceed on this subject, to
arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to
appertain to this request, as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting
between the parties?"
"By all means," cried Bingley; "let us hear all the particulars, not
forgetting their comparative height and size; for that will have more
weight in the argument, Miss Bennet, than you may be aware of. I assure
you, that if Darcy were not such a great tall fellow, in comparison with
myself, I should not pay him half so much deference. I declare I do not
know a more awful object than Darcy, on particular occasions, and in
particular places; at his own house especially, and of a Sunday evening,
when he has nothing to do."
Mr. Darcy smiled; but Elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was
rather offended, and therefore checked her laugh. Miss Bingley warmly
resented the indignity he had received, in an expostulation with her
brother for talking such nonsense.
"I see your design, Bingley," said his friend. "You dislike an argument,
and want to silence this."
"Perhaps I do. Arguments are too much like disputes. If you and Miss
Bennet will defer yours till I am out of the room, I shall be very
thankful; and then you may say whatever you like of me."
"What you ask," said Elizabeth, "is no sacrifice on my side; and Mr.
Darcy had much better finish his letter."
Mr. Darcy took her advice, and did finish his letter.
When that business was over, he applied to Miss Bingley and Elizabeth
for an indulgence of some music. Miss Bingley moved with some alacrity
to the pianoforte; and, after a polite request that Elizabeth would lead
the way which the other as politely and more earnestly negatived, she
seated herself.
Mrs. Hurst sang with her sister, and while they were thus employed,
Elizabeth could not help observing, as she turned over some music-books
that lay on the instrument, how frequently Mr. Darcy's eyes were fixed
on her. She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of
admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her
because he disliked her, was still more strange. She could only imagine,
however, at last that she drew his notice because there was something
more wrong and reprehensible, according to his ideas of right, than in
any other person present. The supposition did not pain her. She liked
him too little to care for his approbation.
After playing some Italian songs, Miss Bingley varied the charm by
a lively Scotch air; and soon afterwards Mr. Darcy, drawing near
Elizabeth, said to her:
"Do not you feel a great inclination, Miss Bennet, to seize such an
opportunity of dancing a reel?"
She smiled, but made no answer. He repeated the question, with some
surprise at her silence.
"Oh!" said she, "I heard you before, but I could not immediately
determine what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say 'Yes,'
that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but I always
delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of
their premeditated contempt. I have, therefore, made up my mind to tell
you, that I do not want to dance a reel at all--and now despise me if
you dare."
"Indeed I do not dare."
Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his
gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her
manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy
had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really
believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he
should be in some danger.
Miss Bingley saw, or suspected enough to be jealous; and her great
anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend Jane received some
assistance from her desire of getting rid of Elizabeth.
She often tried to provoke Darcy into disliking her guest, by talking of
their supposed marriage, and planning his happiness in such an alliance.
"I hope," said she, as they were walking together in the shrubbery
the next day, "you will give your mother-in-law a few hints, when this
desirable event takes place, as to the advantage of holding her tongue;
and if you can compass it, do cure the younger girls of running after
officers. And, if I may mention so delicate a subject, endeavour to
check that little something, bordering on conceit and impertinence,
which your lady possesses."
"Have you anything else to propose for my domestic felicity?"
"Oh! yes. Do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt Phillips be placed
in the gallery at Pemberley. Put them next to your great-uncle the
judge. They are in the same profession, you know, only in different
lines. As for your Elizabeth's picture, you must not have it taken, for
what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes?"
"It would not be easy, indeed, to catch their expression, but their
colour and shape, and the eyelashes, so remarkably fine, might be
copied."
At that moment they were met from another walk by Mrs. Hurst and
Elizabeth herself.
"I did not know that you intended to walk," said Miss Bingley, in some
confusion, lest they had been overheard.
"You used us abominably ill," answered Mrs. Hurst, "running away without
telling us that you were coming out."
Then taking the disengaged arm of Mr. Darcy, she left Elizabeth to walk
by herself. The path just admitted three. Mr. Darcy felt their rudeness,
and immediately said:
"This walk is not wide enough for our party. We had better go into the
avenue."
But Elizabeth, who had not the least inclination to remain with them,
laughingly answered:
"No, no; stay where you are. You are charmingly grouped, and appear
to uncommon advantage. The picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a
fourth. Good-bye."
She then ran gaily off, rejoicing as she rambled about, in the hope of
being at home again in a day or two. Jane was already so much recovered
as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours that evening.
Chapter 11
When the ladies removed after dinner, Elizabeth ran up to her
sister, and seeing her well guarded from cold, attended her into the
drawing-room, where she was welcomed by her two friends with many
professions of pleasure; and Elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable
as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared.
Their powers of conversation were considerable. They could describe an
entertainment with accuracy, relate an anecdote with humour, and laugh
at their acquaintance with spirit.
But when the gentlemen entered, Jane was no longer the first object;
Miss Bingley's eyes were instantly turned toward Darcy, and she had
something to say to him before he had advanced many steps. He addressed
himself to Miss Bennet, with a polite congratulation; Mr. Hurst also
made her a slight bow, and said he was "very glad;" but diffuseness
and warmth remained for Bingley's salutation. He was full of joy and
attention. The first half-hour was spent in piling up the fire, lest she
should suffer from the change of room; and she removed at his desire
to the other side of the fireplace, that she might be further from
the door. He then sat down by her, and talked scarcely to anyone
else. Elizabeth, at work in the opposite corner, saw it all with great
delight.
When tea was over, Mr. Hurst reminded his sister-in-law of the
card-table--but in vain. She had obtained private intelligence that Mr.
Darcy did not wish for cards; and Mr. Hurst soon found even his open
petition rejected. She assured him that no one intended to play, and
the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her. Mr.
Hurst had therefore nothing to do, but to stretch himself on one of the
sofas and go to sleep. Darcy took up a book; Miss Bingley did the same;
and Mrs. Hurst, principally occupied in playing with her bracelets
and rings, joined now and then in her brother's conversation with Miss
Bennet.
Miss Bingley's attention was quite as much engaged in watching Mr.
Darcy's progress through _his_ book, as in reading her own; and she
was perpetually either making some inquiry, or looking at his page. She
could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her
question, and read on. At length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be
amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the
second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, "How pleasant
it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no
enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a
book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not
an excellent library."
No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and
cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement; when hearing
her brother mentioning a ball to Miss Bennet, she turned suddenly
towards him and said:
"By the bye, Charles, are you really serious in meditating a dance at
Netherfield? I would advise you, before you determine on it, to consult
the wishes of the present party; I am much mistaken if there are
not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a
pleasure."
"If you mean Darcy," cried her brother, "he may go to bed, if he
chooses, before it begins--but as for the ball, it is quite a settled
thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough, I shall send
round my cards."
"I should like balls infinitely better," she replied, "if they were
carried on in a different manner; but there is something insufferably
tedious in the usual process of such a meeting. It would surely be much
more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of
the day."
"Much more rational, my dear Caroline, I dare say, but it would not be
near so much like a ball."
Miss Bingley made no answer, and soon afterwards she got up and walked
about the room. Her figure was elegant, and she walked well; but
Darcy, at whom it was all aimed, was still inflexibly studious. In
the desperation of her feelings, she resolved on one effort more, and,
turning to Elizabeth, said:
"Miss Eliza Bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a
turn about the room. I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so
long in one attitude."
Elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. Miss Bingley
succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked
up. He was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as
Elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book. He was
directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that
he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down
the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would
interfere. "What could he mean? She was dying to know what could be his
meaning?"--and asked Elizabeth whether she could at all understand him?
"Not at all," was her answer; "but depend upon it, he means to be severe
on us, and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing
about it."
Miss Bingley, however, was incapable of disappointing Mr. Darcy in
anything, and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his
two motives.
"I have not the smallest objection to explaining them," said he, as soon
as she allowed him to speak. "You either choose this method of passing
the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret
affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures
appear to the greatest advantage in walking; if the first, I would be
completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better
as I sit by the fire."
"Oh! shocking!" cried Miss Bingley. "I never heard anything so
abominable. How shall we punish him for such a speech?"
"Nothing so easy, if you have but the inclination," said Elizabeth. "We
can all plague and punish one another. Tease him--laugh at him. Intimate
as you are, you must know how it is to be done."
"But upon my honour, I do _not_. I do assure you that my intimacy has
not yet taught me _that_. Tease calmness of manner and presence of
mind! No, no; I feel he may defy us there. And as to laughter, we will
not expose ourselves, if you please, by attempting to laugh without a
subject. Mr. Darcy may hug himself."
"Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at!" cried Elizabeth. "That is an
uncommon advantage, and uncommon I hope it will continue, for it would
be a great loss to _me_ to have many such acquaintances. I dearly love a
laugh."
"Miss Bingley," said he, "has given me more credit than can be.
The wisest and the best of men--nay, the wisest and best of their
actions--may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in
life is a joke."
"Certainly," replied Elizabeth--"there are such people, but I hope I
am not one of _them_. I hope I never ridicule what is wise and good.
Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies, _do_ divert me, I own,
and I laugh at them whenever I can. But these, I suppose, are precisely
what you are without."
"Perhaps that is not possible for anyone. But it has been the study
of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong
understanding to ridicule."
"Such as vanity and pride."
"Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride--where there is a real
superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation."
Elizabeth turned away to hide a smile.
"Your examination of Mr. Darcy is over, I presume," said Miss Bingley;
"and pray what is the result?"
"I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it
himself without disguise."
"No," said Darcy, "I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough,
but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch
for. It is, I believe, too little yielding--certainly too little for the
convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others
so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings
are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper
would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost
forever."
"_That_ is a failing indeed!" cried Elizabeth. "Implacable resentment
_is_ a shade in a character. But you have chosen your fault well. I
really cannot _laugh_ at it. You are safe from me."
"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular
evil--a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome."
"And _your_ defect is to hate everybody."
"And yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand
them."
"Do let us have a little music," cried Miss Bingley, tired of a
conversation in which she had no share. "Louisa, you will not mind my
waking Mr. Hurst?"
Her sister had not the smallest objection, and the pianoforte was
opened; and Darcy, after a few moments' recollection, was not sorry for
it. He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention.
Chapter 12
In consequence of an agreement between the sisters, Elizabeth wrote the
next morning to their mother, to beg that the carriage might be sent for
them in the course of the day. But Mrs. Bennet, who had calculated on
her daughters remaining at Netherfield till the following Tuesday, which
would exactly finish Jane's week, could not bring herself to receive
them with pleasure before. Her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at
least not to Elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home. Mrs.
Bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage
before Tuesday; and in her postscript it was added, that if Mr. Bingley
and his sister pressed them to stay longer, she could spare them
very well. Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively
resolved--nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the
contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long,
she urged Jane to borrow Mr. Bingley's carriage immediately, and at
length it was settled that their original design of leaving Netherfield
that morning should be mentioned, and the request made.
The communication excited many professions of concern; and enough was
said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work
on Jane; and till the morrow their going was deferred. Miss Bingley was
then sorry that she had proposed the delay, for her jealousy and dislike
of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other.
The master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so
soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade Miss Bennet that it would not be
safe for her--that she was not enough recovered; but Jane was firm where
she felt herself to be right.
To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence--Elizabeth had been at
Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked--and Miss
Bingley was uncivil to _her_, and more teasing than usual to himself.
He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration
should _now_ escape him, nothing that could elevate her with the hope
of influencing his felicity; sensible that if such an idea had been
suggested, his behaviour during the last day must have material weight
in confirming or crushing it. Steady to his purpose, he scarcely spoke
ten words to her through the whole of Saturday, and though they were
at one time left by themselves for half-an-hour, he adhered most
conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her.
On Sunday, after morning service, the separation, so agreeable to almost
all, took place. Miss Bingley's civility to Elizabeth increased at last
very rapidly, as well as her affection for Jane; and when they parted,
after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her
to see her either at Longbourn or Netherfield, and embracing her most
tenderly, she even shook hands with the former. Elizabeth took leave of
the whole party in the liveliest of spirits.
They were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother. Mrs. Bennet
wondered at their coming, and thought them very wrong to give so much
trouble, and was sure Jane would have caught cold again. But their
father, though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure, was really
glad to see them; he had felt their importance in the family circle. The
evening conversation, when they were all assembled, had lost much of
its animation, and almost all its sense by the absence of Jane and
Elizabeth.
They found Mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough-bass and human
nature; and had some extracts to admire, and some new observations of
threadbare morality to listen to. Catherine and Lydia had information
for them of a different sort. Much had been done and much had been said
in the regiment since the preceding Wednesday; several of the officers
had dined lately with their uncle, a private had been flogged, and it
had actually been hinted that Colonel Forster was going to be married.
Chapter 13
"I hope, my dear," said Mr. Bennet to his wife, as they were at
breakfast the next morning, "that you have ordered a good dinner to-day,
because I have reason to expect an addition to our family party."
"Who do you mean, my dear? I know of nobody that is coming, I am sure,
unless Charlotte Lucas should happen to call in--and I hope _my_ dinners
are good enough for her. I do not believe she often sees such at home."
"The person of whom I speak is a gentleman, and a stranger."
Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled. "A gentleman and a stranger! It is Mr.
Bingley, I am sure! Well, I am sure I shall be extremely glad to see Mr.
Bingley. But--good Lord! how unlucky! There is not a bit of fish to be
got to-day. Lydia, my love, ring the bell--I must speak to Hill this
moment."
"It is _not_ Mr. Bingley," said her husband; "it is a person whom I
never saw in the whole course of my life."
This roused a general astonishment; and he had the pleasure of being
eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once.
After amusing himself some time with their curiosity, he thus explained:
"About a month ago I received this letter; and about a fortnight ago
I answered it, for I thought it a case of some delicacy, and requiring
early attention. It is from my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I am dead,
may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases."
"Oh! my dear," cried his wife, "I cannot bear to hear that mentioned.
Pray do not talk of that odious man. I do think it is the hardest thing
in the world, that your estate should be entailed away from your own
children; and I am sure, if I had been you, I should have tried long ago
to do something or other about it."
Jane and Elizabeth tried to explain to her the nature of an entail. They
had often attempted to do it before, but it was a subject on which
Mrs. Bennet was beyond the reach of reason, and she continued to rail
bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of
five daughters, in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about.
"It certainly is a most iniquitous affair," said Mr. Bennet, "and
nothing can clear Mr. Collins from the guilt of inheriting Longbourn.
But if you will listen to his letter, you may perhaps be a little
softened by his manner of expressing himself."
"No, that I am sure I shall not; and I think it is very impertinent of
him to write to you at all, and very hypocritical. I hate such false
friends. Why could he not keep on quarreling with you, as his father did
before him?"
"Why, indeed; he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that
head, as you will hear."
"Hunsford, near Westerham, Kent, 15th October.
"Dear Sir,--
"The disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured
father always gave me much uneasiness, and since I have had the
misfortune to lose him, I have frequently wished to heal the breach; but
for some time I was kept back by my own doubts, fearing lest it might
seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with anyone
with whom it had always pleased him to be at variance.--'There, Mrs.
Bennet.'--My mind, however, is now made up on the subject, for having
received ordination at Easter, I have been so fortunate as to be
distinguished by the patronage of the Right Honourable Lady Catherine de
Bourgh, widow of Sir Lewis de Bourgh, whose bounty and beneficence has
preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish, where it shall be
my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her
ladyship, and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which
are instituted by the Church of England. As a clergyman, moreover, I
feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in
all families within the reach of my influence; and on these grounds I
flatter myself that my present overtures are highly commendable, and
that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of Longbourn estate
will be kindly overlooked on your side, and not lead you to reject the
offered olive-branch. I cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the
means of injuring your amiable daughters, and beg leave to apologise for
it, as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible
amends--but of this hereafter. If you should have no objection to
receive me into your house, I propose myself the satisfaction of waiting
on you and your family, Monday, November 18th, by four o'clock, and
shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the Saturday se'ennight
following, which I can do without any inconvenience, as Lady Catherine
is far from objecting to my occasional absence on a Sunday, provided
that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the day.--I
remain, dear sir, with respectful compliments to your lady and
daughters, your well-wisher and friend,
"WILLIAM COLLINS"
"At four o'clock, therefore, we may expect this peace-making gentleman,"
said Mr. Bennet, as he folded up the letter. "He seems to be a most
conscientious and polite young man, upon my word, and I doubt not will
prove a valuable acquaintance, especially if Lady Catherine should be so
indulgent as to let him come to us again."
"There is some sense in what he says about the girls, however, and if
he is disposed to make them any amends, I shall not be the person to
discourage him."
"Though it is difficult," said Jane, "to guess in what way he can mean
to make us the atonement he thinks our due, the wish is certainly to his
credit."
Elizabeth was chiefly struck by his extraordinary deference for Lady
Catherine, and his kind intention of christening, marrying, and burying
his parishioners whenever it were required.
"He must be an oddity, I think," said she. "I cannot make him
out.--There is something very pompous in his style.--And what can he
mean by apologising for being next in the entail?--We cannot suppose he
would help it if he could.--Could he be a sensible man, sir?"
"No, my dear, I think not. I have great hopes of finding him quite the
reverse. There is a mixture of servility and self-importance in his
letter, which promises well. I am impatient to see him."
"In point of composition," said Mary, "the letter does not seem
defective. The idea of the olive-branch perhaps is not wholly new, yet I
think it is well expressed."
To Catherine and Lydia, neither the letter nor its writer were in any
degree interesting. It was next to impossible that their cousin should
come in a scarlet coat, and it was now some weeks since they had
received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour. As for
their mother, Mr. Collins's letter had done away much of her ill-will,
and she was preparing to see him with a degree of composure which
astonished her husband and daughters.
Mr. Collins was punctual to his time, and was received with great
politeness by the whole family. Mr. Bennet indeed said little; but the
ladies were ready enough to talk, and Mr. Collins seemed neither in
need of encouragement, nor inclined to be silent himself. He was a
tall, heavy-looking young man of five-and-twenty. His air was grave and
stately, and his manners were very formal. He had not been long seated
before he complimented Mrs. Bennet on having so fine a family of
daughters; said he had heard much of their beauty, but that in this
instance fame had fallen short of the truth; and added, that he did
not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage. This
gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers; but Mrs.
Bennet, who quarreled with no compliments, answered most readily.
"You are very kind, I am sure; and I wish with all my heart it may
prove so, for else they will be destitute enough. Things are settled so
oddly."
"You allude, perhaps, to the entail of this estate."
"Ah! sir, I do indeed. It is a grievous affair to my poor girls, you
must confess. Not that I mean to find fault with _you_, for such things
I know are all chance in this world. There is no knowing how estates
will go when once they come to be entailed."
"I am very sensible, madam, of the hardship to my fair cousins, and
could say much on the subject, but that I am cautious of appearing
forward and precipitate. But I can assure the young ladies that I come
prepared to admire them. At present I will not say more; but, perhaps,
when we are better acquainted--"
He was interrupted by a summons to dinner; and the girls smiled on each
other. They were not the only objects of Mr. Collins's admiration. The
hall, the dining-room, and all its furniture, were examined and praised;
and his commendation of everything would have touched Mrs. Bennet's
heart, but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his
own future property. The dinner too in its turn was highly admired; and
he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its
cooking was owing. But he was set right there by Mrs. Bennet, who
assured him with some asperity that they were very well able to keep a
good cook, and that her daughters had nothing to do in the kitchen. He
begged pardon for having displeased her. In a softened tone she declared
herself not at all offended; but he continued to apologise for about a
quarter of an hour.
Chapter 14
During dinner, Mr. Bennet scarcely spoke at all; but when the servants
were withdrawn, he thought it time to have some conversation with his
guest, and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to
shine, by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness. Lady
Catherine de Bourgh's attention to his wishes, and consideration for
his comfort, appeared very remarkable. Mr. Bennet could not have chosen
better. Mr. Collins was eloquent in her praise. The subject elevated him
to more than usual solemnity of manner, and with a most important aspect
he protested that "he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in
a person of rank--such affability and condescension, as he had himself
experienced from Lady Catherine. She had been graciously pleased to
approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of
preaching before her. She had also asked him twice to dine at Rosings,
and had sent for him only the Saturday before, to make up her pool of
quadrille in the evening. Lady Catherine was reckoned proud by many
people he knew, but _he_ had never seen anything but affability in her.
She had always spoken to him as she would to any other gentleman; she
made not the smallest objection to his joining in the society of the
neighbourhood nor to his leaving the parish occasionally for a week or
two, to visit his relations. She had even condescended to advise him to
marry as soon as he could, provided he chose with discretion; and had
once paid him a visit in his humble parsonage, where she had perfectly
approved all the alterations he had been making, and had even vouchsafed
to suggest some herself--some shelves in the closet up stairs."
"That is all very proper and civil, I am sure," said Mrs. Bennet, "and
I dare say she is a very agreeable woman. It is a pity that great ladies
in general are not more like her. Does she live near you, sir?"
"The garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane
from Rosings Park, her ladyship's residence."
"I think you said she was a widow, sir? Has she any family?"
"She has only one daughter, the heiress of Rosings, and of very
extensive property."
"Ah!" said Mrs. Bennet, shaking her head, "then she is better off than
many girls. And what sort of young lady is she? Is she handsome?"
"She is a most charming young lady indeed. Lady Catherine herself says
that, in point of true beauty, Miss de Bourgh is far superior to the
handsomest of her sex, because there is that in her features which marks
the young lady of distinguished birth. She is unfortunately of a sickly
constitution, which has prevented her from making that progress in many
accomplishments which she could not have otherwise failed of, as I am
informed by the lady who superintended her education, and who still
resides with them. But she is perfectly amiable, and often condescends
to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies."
"Has she been presented? I do not remember her name among the ladies at
court."
"Her indifferent state of health unhappily prevents her being in town;
and by that means, as I told Lady Catherine one day, has deprived the
British court of its brightest ornament. Her ladyship seemed pleased
with the idea; and you may imagine that I am happy on every occasion to
offer those little delicate compliments which are always acceptable
to ladies. I have more than once observed to Lady Catherine, that
her charming daughter seemed born to be a duchess, and that the most
elevated rank, instead of giving her consequence, would be adorned by
her. These are the kind of little things which please her ladyship, and
it is a sort of attention which I conceive myself peculiarly bound to
pay."
"You judge very properly," said Mr. Bennet, "and it is happy for you
that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask
whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the
moment, or are the result of previous study?"
"They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I
sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant
compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to
give them as unstudied an air as possible."
Mr. Bennet's expectations were fully answered. His cousin was as absurd
as he had hoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment,
maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance,
and, except in an occasional glance at Elizabeth, requiring no partner
in his pleasure.
By tea-time, however, the dose had been enough, and Mr. Bennet was glad
to take his guest into the drawing-room again, and, when tea was over,
glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies. Mr. Collins readily
assented, and a book was produced; but, on beholding it (for everything
announced it to be from a circulating library), he started back, and
begging pardon, protested that he never read novels. Kitty stared at
him, and Lydia exclaimed. Other books were produced, and after some
deliberation he chose Fordyce's Sermons. Lydia gaped as he opened the
volume, and before he had, with very monotonous solemnity, read three
pages, she interrupted him with:
"Do you know, mamma, that my uncle Phillips talks of turning away
Richard; and if he does, Colonel Forster will hire him. My aunt told me
so herself on Saturday. I shall walk to Meryton to-morrow to hear more
about it, and to ask when Mr. Denny comes back from town."
Lydia was bid by her two eldest sisters to hold her tongue; but Mr.
Collins, much offended, laid aside his book, and said:
"I have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books
of a serious stamp, though written solely for their benefit. It amazes
me, I confess; for, certainly, there can be nothing so advantageous to
them as instruction. But I will no longer importune my young cousin."
Then turning to Mr. Bennet, he offered himself as his antagonist at
backgammon. Mr. Bennet accepted the challenge, observing that he acted
very wisely in leaving the girls to their own trifling amusements.
Mrs. Bennet and her daughters apologised most civilly for Lydia's
interruption, and promised that it should not occur again, if he would
resume his book; but Mr. Collins, after assuring them that he bore his
young cousin no ill-will, and should never resent her behaviour as any
affront, seated himself at another table with Mr. Bennet, and prepared
for backgammon.
Chapter 15
Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had
been but little assisted by education or society; the greatest part
of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and
miserly father; and though he belonged to one of the universities, he
had merely kept the necessary terms, without forming at it any useful
acquaintance. The subjection in which his father had brought him up had
given him originally great humility of manner; but it was now a
good deal counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head, living in
retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected
prosperity. A fortunate chance had recommended him to Lady Catherine de
Bourgh when the living of Hunsford was vacant; and the respect which
he felt for her high rank, and his veneration for her as his patroness,
mingling with a very good opinion of himself, of his authority as a
clergyman, and his right as a rector, made him altogether a mixture of
pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.
Having now a good house and a very sufficient income, he intended to
marry; and in seeking a reconciliation with the Longbourn family he had
a wife in view, as he meant to choose one of the daughters, if he found
them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report.
This was his plan of amends--of atonement--for inheriting their father's
estate; and he thought it an excellent one, full of eligibility and
suitableness, and excessively generous and disinterested on his own
part.
His plan did not vary on seeing them. Miss Bennet's lovely face
confirmed his views, and established all his strictest notions of what
was due to seniority; and for the first evening _she_ was his settled
choice. The next morning, however, made an alteration; for in a
quarter of an hour's tete-a-tete with Mrs. Bennet before breakfast, a
conversation beginning with his parsonage-house, and leading naturally
to the avowal of his hopes, that a mistress might be found for it at
Longbourn, produced from her, amid very complaisant smiles and general
encouragement, a caution against the very Jane he had fixed on. "As to
her _younger_ daughters, she could not take upon her to say--she could
not positively answer--but she did not _know_ of any prepossession; her
_eldest_ daughter, she must just mention--she felt it incumbent on her
to hint, was likely to be very soon engaged."
Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth--and it was soon
done--done while Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire. Elizabeth, equally
next to Jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of course.
Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have
two daughters married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of
the day before was now high in her good graces.
Lydia's intention of walking to Meryton was not forgotten; every sister
except Mary agreed to go with her; and Mr. Collins was to attend them,
at the request of Mr. Bennet, who was most anxious to get rid of him,
and have his library to himself; for thither Mr. Collins had followed
him after breakfast; and there he would continue, nominally engaged with
one of the largest folios in the collection, but really talking to Mr.
Bennet, with little cessation, of his house and garden at Hunsford. Such
doings discomposed Mr. Bennet exceedingly. In his library he had been
always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told
Elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the
house, he was used to be free from them there; his civility, therefore,
was most prompt in inviting Mr. Collins to join his daughters in their
walk; and Mr. Collins, being in fact much better fitted for a walker
than a reader, was extremely pleased to close his large book, and go.
In pompous nothings on his side, and civil assents on that of his
cousins, their time passed till they entered Meryton. The attention of
the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him. Their eyes were
immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers, and
nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed, or a really new muslin in
a shop window, could recall them.
But the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man, whom
they had never seen before, of most gentlemanlike appearance, walking
with another officer on the other side of the way. The officer was
the very Mr. Denny concerning whose return from London Lydia came
to inquire, and he bowed as they passed. All were struck with the
stranger's air, all wondered who he could be; and Kitty and Lydia,
determined if possible to find out, led the way across the street, under
pretense of wanting something in an opposite shop, and fortunately
had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen, turning back, had
reached the same spot. Mr. Denny addressed them directly, and entreated
permission to introduce his friend, Mr. Wickham, who had returned with
him the day before from town, and he was happy to say had accepted a
commission in their corps. This was exactly as it should be; for the
young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming.
His appearance was greatly in his favour; he had all the best part of
beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure, and very pleasing address.
The introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness
of conversation--a readiness at the same time perfectly correct and
unassuming; and the whole party were still standing and talking together
very agreeably, when the sound of horses drew their notice, and Darcy
and Bingley were seen riding down the street. On distinguishing the
ladies of the group, the two gentlemen came directly towards them, and
began the usual civilities. Bingley was the principal spokesman, and
Miss Bennet the principal object. He was then, he said, on his way to
Longbourn on purpose to inquire after her. Mr. Darcy corroborated
it with a bow, and was beginning to determine not to fix his eyes
on Elizabeth, when they were suddenly arrested by the sight of the
stranger, and Elizabeth happening to see the countenance of both as they
looked at each other, was all astonishment at the effect of the meeting.
Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. Mr. Wickham,
after a few moments, touched his hat--a salutation which Mr. Darcy just
deigned to return. What could be the meaning of it? It was impossible to
imagine; it was impossible not to long to know.
In another minute, Mr. Bingley, but without seeming to have noticed what
passed, took leave and rode on with his friend.
Mr. Denny and Mr. Wickham walked with the young ladies to the door of
Mr. Phillip's house, and then made their bows, in spite of Miss Lydia's
pressing entreaties that they should come in, and even in spite of
Mrs. Phillips's throwing up the parlour window and loudly seconding the
invitation.
Mrs. Phillips was always glad to see her nieces; and the two eldest,
from their recent absence, were particularly welcome, and she was
eagerly expressing her surprise at their sudden return home, which, as
their own carriage had not fetched them, she should have known nothing
about, if she had not happened to see Mr. Jones's shop-boy in the
street, who had told her that they were not to send any more draughts to
Netherfield because the Miss Bennets were come away, when her civility
was claimed towards Mr. Collins by Jane's introduction of him. She
received him with her very best politeness, which he returned with
as much more, apologising for his intrusion, without any previous
acquaintance with her, which he could not help flattering himself,
however, might be justified by his relationship to the young ladies who
introduced him to her notice. Mrs. Phillips was quite awed by such an
excess of good breeding; but her contemplation of one stranger was soon
put to an end by exclamations and inquiries about the other; of whom,
however, she could only tell her nieces what they already knew, that
Mr. Denny had brought him from London, and that he was to have a
lieutenant's commission in the ----shire. She had been watching him the
last hour, she said, as he walked up and down the street, and had Mr.
Wickham appeared, Kitty and Lydia would certainly have continued the
occupation, but unluckily no one passed windows now except a few of the
officers, who, in comparison with the stranger, were become "stupid,
disagreeable fellows." Some of them were to dine with the Phillipses
the next day, and their aunt promised to make her husband call on Mr.
Wickham, and give him an invitation also, if the family from Longbourn
would come in the evening. This was agreed to, and Mrs. Phillips
protested that they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery
tickets, and a little bit of hot supper afterwards. The prospect of such
delights was very cheering, and they parted in mutual good spirits. Mr.
Collins repeated his apologies in quitting the room, and was assured
with unwearying civility that they were perfectly needless.
As they walked home, Elizabeth related to Jane what she had seen pass
between the two gentlemen; but though Jane would have defended either
or both, had they appeared to be in the wrong, she could no more explain
such behaviour than her sister.
Mr. Collins on his return highly gratified Mrs. Bennet by admiring
Mrs. Phillips's manners and politeness. He protested that, except Lady
Catherine and her daughter, he had never seen a more elegant woman;
for she had not only received him with the utmost civility, but even
pointedly included him in her invitation for the next evening, although
utterly unknown to her before. Something, he supposed, might be
attributed to his connection with them, but yet he had never met with so
much attention in the whole course of his life.
Chapter 16
As no objection was made to the young people's engagement with their
aunt, and all Mr. Collins's scruples of leaving Mr. and Mrs. Bennet for
a single evening during his visit were most steadily resisted, the coach
conveyed him and his five cousins at a suitable hour to Meryton; and
the girls had the pleasure of hearing, as they entered the drawing-room,
that Mr. Wickham had accepted their uncle's invitation, and was then in
the house.
When this information was given, and they had all taken their seats, Mr.
Collins was at leisure to look around him and admire, and he was so much
struck with the size and furniture of the apartment, that he declared he
might almost have supposed himself in the small summer breakfast
parlour at Rosings; a comparison that did not at first convey much
gratification; but when Mrs. Phillips understood from him what
Rosings was, and who was its proprietor--when she had listened to the
description of only one of Lady Catherine's drawing-rooms, and found
that the chimney-piece alone had cost eight hundred pounds, she felt all
the force of the compliment, and would hardly have resented a comparison
with the housekeeper's room.
In describing to her all the grandeur of Lady Catherine and her mansion,
with occasional digressions in praise of his own humble abode, and
the improvements it was receiving, he was happily employed until the
gentlemen joined them; and he found in Mrs. Phillips a very attentive
listener, whose opinion of his consequence increased with what she
heard, and who was resolving to retail it all among her neighbours as
soon as she could. To the girls, who could not listen to their cousin,
and who had nothing to do but to wish for an instrument, and examine
their own indifferent imitations of china on the mantelpiece, the
interval of waiting appeared very long. It was over at last, however.
The gentlemen did approach, and when Mr. Wickham walked into the room,
Elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before, nor thinking
of him since, with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration.
The officers of the ----shire were in general a very creditable,
gentlemanlike set, and the best of them were of the present party; but
Mr. Wickham was as far beyond them all in person, countenance, air, and
walk, as _they_ were superior to the broad-faced, stuffy uncle Phillips,
breathing port wine, who followed them into the room.
Mr. Wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was
turned, and Elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated
himself; and the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into
conversation, though it was only on its being a wet night, made her feel
that the commonest, dullest, most threadbare topic might be rendered
interesting by the skill of the speaker.
With such rivals for the notice of the fair as Mr. Wickham and the
officers, Mr. Collins seemed to sink into insignificance; to the young
ladies he certainly was nothing; but he had still at intervals a kind
listener in Mrs. Phillips, and was by her watchfulness, most abundantly
supplied with coffee and muffin. When the card-tables were placed, he
had the opportunity of obliging her in turn, by sitting down to whist.
"I know little of the game at present," said he, "but I shall be glad
to improve myself, for in my situation in life--" Mrs. Phillips was very
glad for his compliance, but could not wait for his reason.
Mr. Wickham did not play at whist, and with ready delight was he
received at the other table between Elizabeth and Lydia. At first there
seemed danger of Lydia's engrossing him entirely, for she was a most
determined talker; but being likewise extremely fond of lottery tickets,
she soon grew too much interested in the game, too eager in making bets
and exclaiming after prizes to have attention for anyone in particular.
Allowing for the common demands of the game, Mr. Wickham was therefore
at leisure to talk to Elizabeth, and she was very willing to hear
him, though what she chiefly wished to hear she could not hope to be
told--the history of his acquaintance with Mr. Darcy. She dared not
even mention that gentleman. Her curiosity, however, was unexpectedly
relieved. Mr. Wickham began the subject himself. He inquired how far
Netherfield was from Meryton; and, after receiving her answer, asked in
a hesitating manner how long Mr. Darcy had been staying there.
"About a month," said Elizabeth; and then, unwilling to let the subject
drop, added, "He is a man of very large property in Derbyshire, I
understand."
"Yes," replied Mr. Wickham; "his estate there is a noble one. A clear
ten thousand per annum. You could not have met with a person more
capable of giving you certain information on that head than myself, for
I have been connected with his family in a particular manner from my
infancy."
Elizabeth could not but look surprised.
"You may well be surprised, Miss Bennet, at such an assertion, after
seeing, as you probably might, the very cold manner of our meeting
yesterday. Are you much acquainted with Mr. Darcy?"
"As much as I ever wish to be," cried Elizabeth very warmly. "I have
spent four days in the same house with him, and I think him very
disagreeable."
"I have no right to give _my_ opinion," said Wickham, "as to his being
agreeable or otherwise. I am not qualified to form one. I have known him
too long and too well to be a fair judge. It is impossible for _me_
to be impartial. But I believe your opinion of him would in general
astonish--and perhaps you would not express it quite so strongly
anywhere else. Here you are in your own family."
"Upon my word, I say no more _here_ than I might say in any house in
the neighbourhood, except Netherfield. He is not at all liked in
Hertfordshire. Everybody is disgusted with his pride. You will not find
him more favourably spoken of by anyone."
"I cannot pretend to be sorry," said Wickham, after a short
interruption, "that he or that any man should not be estimated beyond
their deserts; but with _him_ I believe it does not often happen. The
world is blinded by his fortune and consequence, or frightened by his
high and imposing manners, and sees him only as he chooses to be seen."
"I should take him, even on _my_ slight acquaintance, to be an
ill-tempered man." Wickham only shook his head.
"I wonder," said he, at the next opportunity of speaking, "whether he is
likely to be in this country much longer."
"I do not at all know; but I _heard_ nothing of his going away when I
was at Netherfield. I hope your plans in favour of the ----shire will
not be affected by his being in the neighbourhood."
"Oh! no--it is not for _me_ to be driven away by Mr. Darcy. If _he_
wishes to avoid seeing _me_, he must go. We are not on friendly terms,
and it always gives me pain to meet him, but I have no reason for
avoiding _him_ but what I might proclaim before all the world, a sense
of very great ill-usage, and most painful regrets at his being what he
is. His father, Miss Bennet, the late Mr. Darcy, was one of the best men
that ever breathed, and the truest friend I ever had; and I can never
be in company with this Mr. Darcy without being grieved to the soul by
a thousand tender recollections. His behaviour to myself has been
scandalous; but I verily believe I could forgive him anything and
everything, rather than his disappointing the hopes and disgracing the
memory of his father."
Elizabeth found the interest of the subject increase, and listened with
all her heart; but the delicacy of it prevented further inquiry.
Mr. Wickham began to speak on more general topics, Meryton, the
neighbourhood, the society, appearing highly pleased with all that
he had yet seen, and speaking of the latter with gentle but very
intelligible gallantry.
"It was the prospect of constant society, and good society," he added,
"which was my chief inducement to enter the ----shire. I knew it to be
a most respectable, agreeable corps, and my friend Denny tempted me
further by his account of their present quarters, and the very great
attentions and excellent acquaintances Meryton had procured them.
Society, I own, is necessary to me. I have been a disappointed man, and
my spirits will not bear solitude. I _must_ have employment and society.
A military life is not what I was intended for, but circumstances have
now made it eligible. The church _ought_ to have been my profession--I
was brought up for the church, and I should at this time have been in
possession of a most valuable living, had it pleased the gentleman we
were speaking of just now."
"Indeed!"
"Yes--the late Mr. Darcy bequeathed me the next presentation of the best
living in his gift. He was my godfather, and excessively attached to me.
I cannot do justice to his kindness. He meant to provide for me amply,
and thought he had done it; but when the living fell, it was given
elsewhere."
"Good heavens!" cried Elizabeth; "but how could _that_ be? How could his
will be disregarded? Why did you not seek legal redress?"
"There was just such an informality in the terms of the bequest as to
give me no hope from law. A man of honour could not have doubted the
intention, but Mr. Darcy chose to doubt it--or to treat it as a merely
conditional recommendation, and to assert that I had forfeited all claim
to it by extravagance, imprudence--in short anything or nothing. Certain
it is, that the living became vacant two years ago, exactly as I was
of an age to hold it, and that it was given to another man; and no
less certain is it, that I cannot accuse myself of having really done
anything to deserve to lose it. I have a warm, unguarded temper, and
I may have spoken my opinion _of_ him, and _to_ him, too freely. I can
recall nothing worse. But the fact is, that we are very different sort
of men, and that he hates me."
"This is quite shocking! He deserves to be publicly disgraced."
"Some time or other he _will_ be--but it shall not be by _me_. Till I
can forget his father, I can never defy or expose _him_."
Elizabeth honoured him for such feelings, and thought him handsomer than
ever as he expressed them.
"But what," said she, after a pause, "can have been his motive? What can
have induced him to behave so cruelly?"
"A thorough, determined dislike of me--a dislike which I cannot but
attribute in some measure to jealousy. Had the late Mr. Darcy liked me
less, his son might have borne with me better; but his father's uncommon
attachment to me irritated him, I believe, very early in life. He had
not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stood--the sort
of preference which was often given me."
"I had not thought Mr. Darcy so bad as this--though I have never liked
him. I had not thought so very ill of him. I had supposed him to be
despising his fellow-creatures in general, but did not suspect him of
descending to such malicious revenge, such injustice, such inhumanity as
this."
After a few minutes' reflection, however, she continued, "I _do_
remember his boasting one day, at Netherfield, of the implacability of
his resentments, of his having an unforgiving temper. His disposition
must be dreadful."
"I will not trust myself on the subject," replied Wickham; "I can hardly
be just to him."
Elizabeth was again deep in thought, and after a time exclaimed, "To
treat in such a manner the godson, the friend, the favourite of his
father!" She could have added, "A young man, too, like _you_, whose very
countenance may vouch for your being amiable"--but she contented herself
with, "and one, too, who had probably been his companion from childhood,
connected together, as I think you said, in the closest manner!"
"We were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest
part of our youth was passed together; inmates of the same house,
sharing the same amusements, objects of the same parental care. _My_
father began life in the profession which your uncle, Mr. Phillips,
appears to do so much credit to--but he gave up everything to be of
use to the late Mr. Darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the
Pemberley property. He was most highly esteemed by Mr. Darcy, a most
intimate, confidential friend. Mr. Darcy often acknowledged himself to
be under the greatest obligations to my father's active superintendence,
and when, immediately before my father's death, Mr. Darcy gave him a
voluntary promise of providing for me, I am convinced that he felt it to
be as much a debt of gratitude to _him_, as of his affection to myself."
"How strange!" cried Elizabeth. "How abominable! I wonder that the very
pride of this Mr. Darcy has not made him just to you! If from no better
motive, that he should not have been too proud to be dishonest--for
dishonesty I must call it."
"It _is_ wonderful," replied Wickham, "for almost all his actions may
be traced to pride; and pride had often been his best friend. It has
connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling. But we are
none of us consistent, and in his behaviour to me there were stronger
impulses even than pride."
"Can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good?"
"Yes. It has often led him to be liberal and generous, to give his money
freely, to display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the
poor. Family pride, and _filial_ pride--for he is very proud of what
his father was--have done this. Not to appear to disgrace his family,
to degenerate from the popular qualities, or lose the influence of the
Pemberley House, is a powerful motive. He has also _brotherly_ pride,
which, with _some_ brotherly affection, makes him a very kind and
careful guardian of his sister, and you will hear him generally cried up
as the most attentive and best of brothers."
"What sort of girl is Miss Darcy?"
He shook his head. "I wish I could call her amiable. It gives me pain to
speak ill of a Darcy. But she is too much like her brother--very, very
proud. As a child, she was affectionate and pleasing, and extremely fond
of me; and I have devoted hours and hours to her amusement. But she is
nothing to me now. She is a handsome girl, about fifteen or sixteen,
and, I understand, highly accomplished. Since her father's death, her
home has been London, where a lady lives with her, and superintends her
education."
After many pauses and many trials of other subjects, Elizabeth could not
help reverting once more to the first, and saying:
"I am astonished at his intimacy with Mr. Bingley! How can Mr. Bingley,
who seems good humour itself, and is, I really believe, truly amiable,
be in friendship with such a man? How can they suit each other? Do you
know Mr. Bingley?"
"Not at all."
"He is a sweet-tempered, amiable, charming man. He cannot know what Mr.
Darcy is."
"Probably not; but Mr. Darcy can please where he chooses. He does not
want abilities. He can be a conversible companion if he thinks it worth
his while. Among those who are at all his equals in consequence, he is
a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous. His
pride never deserts him; but with the rich he is liberal-minded, just,
sincere, rational, honourable, and perhaps agreeable--allowing something
for fortune and figure."
The whist party soon afterwards breaking up, the players gathered round
the other table and Mr. Collins took his station between his cousin
Elizabeth and Mrs. Phillips. The usual inquiries as to his success were
made by the latter. It had not been very great; he had lost every
point; but when Mrs. Phillips began to express her concern thereupon,
he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least
importance, that he considered the money as a mere trifle, and begged
that she would not make herself uneasy.
"I know very well, madam," said he, "that when persons sit down to a
card-table, they must take their chances of these things, and happily I
am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object. There
are undoubtedly many who could not say the same, but thanks to Lady
Catherine de Bourgh, I am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding
little matters."
Mr. Wickham's attention was caught; and after observing Mr. Collins for
a few moments, he asked Elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation
was very intimately acquainted with the family of de Bourgh.
"Lady Catherine de Bourgh," she replied, "has very lately given him
a living. I hardly know how Mr. Collins was first introduced to her
notice, but he certainly has not known her long."
"You know of course that Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Lady Anne Darcy
were sisters; consequently that she is aunt to the present Mr. Darcy."
"No, indeed, I did not. I knew nothing at all of Lady Catherine's
connections. I never heard of her existence till the day before
yesterday."
"Her daughter, Miss de Bourgh, will have a very large fortune, and it is
believed that she and her cousin will unite the two estates."
This information made Elizabeth smile, as she thought of poor Miss
Bingley. Vain indeed must be all her attentions, vain and useless her
affection for his sister and her praise of himself, if he were already
self-destined for another.
"Mr. Collins," said she, "speaks highly both of Lady Catherine and her
daughter; but from some particulars that he has related of her ladyship,
I suspect his gratitude misleads him, and that in spite of her being his
patroness, she is an arrogant, conceited woman."
"I believe her to be both in a great degree," replied Wickham; "I have
not seen her for many years, but I very well remember that I never liked
her, and that her manners were dictatorial and insolent. She has the
reputation of being remarkably sensible and clever; but I rather believe
she derives part of her abilities from her rank and fortune, part from
her authoritative manner, and the rest from the pride for her
nephew, who chooses that everyone connected with him should have an
understanding of the first class."
Elizabeth allowed that he had given a very rational account of it, and
they continued talking together, with mutual satisfaction till supper
put an end to cards, and gave the rest of the ladies their share of Mr.
Wickham's attentions. There could be no conversation in the noise
of Mrs. Phillips's supper party, but his manners recommended him to
everybody. Whatever he said, was said well; and whatever he did, done
gracefully. Elizabeth went away with her head full of him. She could
think of nothing but of Mr. Wickham, and of what he had told her, all
the way home; but there was not time for her even to mention his name
as they went, for neither Lydia nor Mr. Collins were once silent. Lydia
talked incessantly of lottery tickets, of the fish she had lost and the
fish she had won; and Mr. Collins in describing the civility of Mr. and
Mrs. Phillips, protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses
at whist, enumerating all the dishes at supper, and repeatedly fearing
that he crowded his cousins, had more to say than he could well manage
before the carriage stopped at Longbourn House.
Chapter 17
Elizabeth related to Jane the next day what had passed between Mr.
Wickham and herself. Jane listened with astonishment and concern; she
knew not how to believe that Mr. Darcy could be so unworthy of Mr.
Bingley's regard; and yet, it was not in her nature to question the
veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as Wickham. The
possibility of his having endured such unkindness, was enough to
interest all her tender feelings; and nothing remained therefore to be
done, but to think well of them both, to defend the conduct of each,
and throw into the account of accident or mistake whatever could not be
otherwise explained.
"They have both," said she, "been deceived, I dare say, in some way
or other, of which we can form no idea. Interested people have perhaps
misrepresented each to the other. It is, in short, impossible for us to
conjecture the causes or circumstances which may have alienated them,
without actual blame on either side."
"Very true, indeed; and now, my dear Jane, what have you got to say on
behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the
business? Do clear _them_ too, or we shall be obliged to think ill of
somebody."
"Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my
opinion. My dearest Lizzy, do but consider in what a disgraceful light
it places Mr. Darcy, to be treating his father's favourite in such
a manner, one whom his father had promised to provide for. It is
impossible. No man of common humanity, no man who had any value for his
character, could be capable of it. Can his most intimate friends be so
excessively deceived in him? Oh! no."
"I can much more easily believe Mr. Bingley's being imposed on, than
that Mr. Wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me
last night; names, facts, everything mentioned without ceremony. If it
be not so, let Mr. Darcy contradict it. Besides, there was truth in his
looks."
"It is difficult indeed--it is distressing. One does not know what to
think."
"I beg your pardon; one knows exactly what to think."
But Jane could think with certainty on only one point--that Mr. Bingley,
if he _had_ been imposed on, would have much to suffer when the affair
became public.
The two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery, where this
conversation passed, by the arrival of the very persons of whom they had
been speaking; Mr. Bingley and his sisters came to give their personal
invitation for the long-expected ball at Netherfield, which was fixed
for the following Tuesday. The two ladies were delighted to see their
dear friend again, called it an age since they had met, and repeatedly
asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation. To
the rest of the family they paid little attention; avoiding Mrs. Bennet
as much as possible, saying not much to Elizabeth, and nothing at all to
the others. They were soon gone again, rising from their seats with an
activity which took their brother by surprise, and hurrying off as if
eager to escape from Mrs. Bennet's civilities.
The prospect of the Netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every
female of the family. Mrs. Bennet chose to consider it as given in
compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered
by receiving the invitation from Mr. Bingley himself, instead of a
ceremonious card. Jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the
society of her two friends, and the attentions of their brother; and
Elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with Mr.
Wickham, and of seeing a confirmation of everything in Mr. Darcy's look
and behaviour. The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia depended
less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they
each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham,
he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball
was, at any rate, a ball. And even Mary could assure her family that she
had no disinclination for it.
"While I can have my mornings to myself," said she, "it is enough--I
think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements.
Society has claims on us all; and I profess myself one of those
who consider intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for
everybody."
Elizabeth's spirits were so high on this occasion, that though she did
not often speak unnecessarily to Mr. Collins, she could not help asking
him whether he intended to accept Mr. Bingley's invitation, and if
he did, whether he would think it proper to join in the evening's
amusement; and she was rather surprised to find that he entertained no
scruple whatever on that head, and was very far from dreading a rebuke
either from the Archbishop, or Lady Catherine de Bourgh, by venturing to
dance.
"I am by no means of the opinion, I assure you," said he, "that a ball
of this kind, given by a young man of character, to respectable people,
can have any evil tendency; and I am so far from objecting to dancing
myself, that I shall hope to be honoured with the hands of all my fair
cousins in the course of the evening; and I take this opportunity of
soliciting yours, Miss Elizabeth, for the two first dances especially,
a preference which I trust my cousin Jane will attribute to the right
cause, and not to any disrespect for her."
Elizabeth felt herself completely taken in. She had fully proposed being
engaged by Mr. Wickham for those very dances; and to have Mr. Collins
instead! her liveliness had never been worse timed. There was no help
for it, however. Mr. Wickham's happiness and her own were perforce
delayed a little longer, and Mr. Collins's proposal accepted with as
good a grace as she could. She was not the better pleased with his
gallantry from the idea it suggested of something more. It now first
struck her, that _she_ was selected from among her sisters as worthy
of being mistress of Hunsford Parsonage, and of assisting to form a
quadrille table at Rosings, in the absence of more eligible visitors.
The idea soon reached to conviction, as she observed his increasing
civilities toward herself, and heard his frequent attempt at a
compliment on her wit and vivacity; and though more astonished than
gratified herself by this effect of her charms, it was not long before
her mother gave her to understand that the probability of their marriage
was extremely agreeable to _her_. Elizabeth, however, did not choose
to take the hint, being well aware that a serious dispute must be the
consequence of any reply. Mr. Collins might never make the offer, and
till he did, it was useless to quarrel about him.
If there had not been a Netherfield ball to prepare for and talk of, the
younger Miss Bennets would have been in a very pitiable state at this
time, for from the day of the invitation, to the day of the ball, there
was such a succession of rain as prevented their walking to Meryton
once. No aunt, no officers, no news could be sought after--the very
shoe-roses for Netherfield were got by proxy. Even Elizabeth might have
found some trial of her patience in weather which totally suspended the
improvement of her acquaintance with Mr. Wickham; and nothing less than
a dance on Tuesday, could have made such a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday endurable to Kitty and Lydia.
Chapter 18
Till Elizabeth entered the drawing-room at Netherfield, and looked in
vain for Mr. Wickham among the cluster of red coats there assembled, a
doubt of his being present had never occurred to her. The certainty
of meeting him had not been checked by any of those recollections that
might not unreasonably have alarmed her. She had dressed with more than
usual care, and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all
that remained unsubdued of his heart, trusting that it was not more than
might be won in the course of the evening. But in an instant arose
the dreadful suspicion of his being purposely omitted for Mr. Darcy's
pleasure in the Bingleys' invitation to the officers; and though
this was not exactly the case, the absolute fact of his absence was
pronounced by his friend Denny, to whom Lydia eagerly applied, and who
told them that Wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the
day before, and was not yet returned; adding, with a significant smile,
"I do not imagine his business would have called him away just now, if
he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here."
This part of his intelligence, though unheard by Lydia, was caught by
Elizabeth, and, as it assured her that Darcy was not less answerable for
Wickham's absence than if her first surmise had been just, every
feeling of displeasure against the former was so sharpened by immediate
disappointment, that she could hardly reply with tolerable civility to
the polite inquiries which he directly afterwards approached to make.
Attendance, forbearance, patience with Darcy, was injury to Wickham. She
was resolved against any sort of conversation with him, and turned away
with a degree of ill-humour which she could not wholly surmount even in
speaking to Mr. Bingley, whose blind partiality provoked her.
But Elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect
of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her
spirits; and having told all her griefs to Charlotte Lucas, whom she had
not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition
to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular
notice. The first two dances, however, brought a return of distress;
they were dances of mortification. Mr. Collins, awkward and solemn,
apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being
aware of it, gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable
partner for a couple of dances can give. The moment of her release from
him was ecstasy.
She danced next with an officer, and had the refreshment of talking of
Wickham, and of hearing that he was universally liked. When those dances
were over, she returned to Charlotte Lucas, and was in conversation with
her, when she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr. Darcy who took
her so much by surprise in his application for her hand, that,
without knowing what she did, she accepted him. He walked away again
immediately, and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of
mind; Charlotte tried to console her:
"I dare say you will find him very agreeable."
"Heaven forbid! _That_ would be the greatest misfortune of all! To find
a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! Do not wish me such an
evil."
When the dancing recommenced, however, and Darcy approached to claim her
hand, Charlotte could not help cautioning her in a whisper, not to be a
simpleton, and allow her fancy for Wickham to make her appear unpleasant
in the eyes of a man ten times his consequence. Elizabeth made no
answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to which
she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to Mr. Darcy, and
reading in her neighbours' looks, their equal amazement in beholding
it. They stood for some time without speaking a word; and she began to
imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances, and at
first was resolved not to break it; till suddenly fancying that it would
be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk, she made
some slight observation on the dance. He replied, and was again
silent. After a pause of some minutes, she addressed him a second time
with:--"It is _your_ turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked
about the dance, and _you_ ought to make some sort of remark on the size
of the room, or the number of couples."
He smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be
said.
"Very well. That reply will do for the present. Perhaps by and by I may
observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. But
_now_ we may be silent."
"Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?"
"Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be
entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet for the advantage of
_some_, conversation ought to be so arranged, as that they may have the
trouble of saying as little as possible."
"Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you
imagine that you are gratifying mine?"
"Both," replied Elizabeth archly; "for I have always seen a great
similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial,
taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say
something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to
posterity with all the eclat of a proverb."
"This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,"
said he. "How near it may be to _mine_, I cannot pretend to say. _You_
think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly."
"I must not decide on my own performance."
He made no answer, and they were again silent till they had gone down
the dance, when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often
walk to Meryton. She answered in the affirmative, and, unable to resist
the temptation, added, "When you met us there the other day, we had just
been forming a new acquaintance."
The effect was immediate. A deeper shade of _hauteur_ overspread his
features, but he said not a word, and Elizabeth, though blaming herself
for her own weakness, could not go on. At length Darcy spoke, and in a
constrained manner said, "Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners
as may ensure his _making_ friends--whether he may be equally capable of
_retaining_ them, is less certain."
"He has been so unlucky as to lose _your_ friendship," replied Elizabeth
with emphasis, "and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all
his life."
Darcy made no answer, and seemed desirous of changing the subject. At
that moment, Sir William Lucas appeared close to them, meaning to pass
through the set to the other side of the room; but on perceiving Mr.
Darcy, he stopped with a bow of superior courtesy to compliment him on
his dancing and his partner.
"I have been most highly gratified indeed, my dear sir. Such very
superior dancing is not often seen. It is evident that you belong to the
first circles. Allow me to say, however, that your fair partner does not
disgrace you, and that I must hope to have this pleasure often repeated,
especially when a certain desirable event, my dear Eliza (glancing at
her sister and Bingley) shall take place. What congratulations will then
flow in! I appeal to Mr. Darcy:--but let me not interrupt you, sir. You
will not thank me for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that
young lady, whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me."
The latter part of this address was scarcely heard by Darcy; but Sir
William's allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly, and his
eyes were directed with a very serious expression towards Bingley and
Jane, who were dancing together. Recovering himself, however, shortly,
he turned to his partner, and said, "Sir William's interruption has made
me forget what we were talking of."
"I do not think we were speaking at all. Sir William could not have
interrupted two people in the room who had less to say for themselves.
We have tried two or three subjects already without success, and what we
are to talk of next I cannot imagine."
"What think you of books?" said he, smiling.
"Books--oh! no. I am sure we never read the same, or not with the same
feelings."
"I am sorry you think so; but if that be the case, there can at least be
no want of subject. We may compare our different opinions."
"No--I cannot talk of books in a ball-room; my head is always full of
something else."
"The _present_ always occupies you in such scenes--does it?" said he,
with a look of doubt.
"Yes, always," she replied, without knowing what she said, for her
thoughts had wandered far from the subject, as soon afterwards appeared
by her suddenly exclaiming, "I remember hearing you once say, Mr. Darcy,
that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was
unappeasable. You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its _being
created_."
"I am," said he, with a firm voice.
"And never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice?"
"I hope not."
"It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion,
to be secure of judging properly at first."
"May I ask to what these questions tend?"
"Merely to the illustration of _your_ character," said she, endeavouring
to shake off her gravity. "I am trying to make it out."
"And what is your success?"
She shook her head. "I do not get on at all. I hear such different
accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly."
"I can readily believe," answered he gravely, "that reports may vary
greatly with respect to me; and I could wish, Miss Bennet, that you were
not to sketch my character at the present moment, as there is reason to
fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either."
"But if I do not take your likeness now, I may never have another
opportunity."
"I would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours," he coldly replied.
She said no more, and they went down the other dance and parted in
silence; and on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree,
for in Darcy's breast there was a tolerably powerful feeling towards
her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against
another.
They had not long separated, when Miss Bingley came towards her, and
with an expression of civil disdain accosted her:
"So, Miss Eliza, I hear you are quite delighted with George Wickham!
Your sister has been talking to me about him, and asking me a thousand
questions; and I find that the young man quite forgot to tell you, among
his other communication, that he was the son of old Wickham, the late
Mr. Darcy's steward. Let me recommend you, however, as a friend, not to
give implicit confidence to all his assertions; for as to Mr. Darcy's
using him ill, it is perfectly false; for, on the contrary, he has
always been remarkably kind to him, though George Wickham has treated
Mr. Darcy in a most infamous manner. I do not know the particulars, but
I know very well that Mr. Darcy is not in the least to blame, that he
cannot bear to hear George Wickham mentioned, and that though my brother
thought that he could not well avoid including him in his invitation to
the officers, he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself
out of the way. His coming into the country at all is a most insolent
thing, indeed, and I wonder how he could presume to do it. I pity you,
Miss Eliza, for this discovery of your favourite's guilt; but really,
considering his descent, one could not expect much better."
"His guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same," said
Elizabeth angrily; "for I have heard you accuse him of nothing worse
than of being the son of Mr. Darcy's steward, and of _that_, I can
assure you, he informed me himself."
"I beg your pardon," replied Miss Bingley, turning away with a sneer.
"Excuse my interference--it was kindly meant."
"Insolent girl!" said Elizabeth to herself. "You are much mistaken
if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this. I see
nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of Mr.
Darcy." She then sought her eldest sister, who had undertaken to make
inquiries on the same subject of Bingley. Jane met her with a smile of
such sweet complacency, a glow of such happy expression, as sufficiently
marked how well she was satisfied with the occurrences of the evening.
Elizabeth instantly read her feelings, and at that moment solicitude for
Wickham, resentment against his enemies, and everything else, gave way
before the hope of Jane's being in the fairest way for happiness.
"I want to know," said she, with a countenance no less smiling than her
sister's, "what you have learnt about Mr. Wickham. But perhaps you have
been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person; in which case
you may be sure of my pardon."
"No," replied Jane, "I have not forgotten him; but I have nothing
satisfactory to tell you. Mr. Bingley does not know the whole of
his history, and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have
principally offended Mr. Darcy; but he will vouch for the good conduct,
the probity, and honour of his friend, and is perfectly convinced that
Mr. Wickham has deserved much less attention from Mr. Darcy than he has
received; and I am sorry to say by his account as well as his sister's,
Mr. Wickham is by no means a respectable young man. I am afraid he has
been very imprudent, and has deserved to lose Mr. Darcy's regard."
"Mr. Bingley does not know Mr. Wickham himself?"
"No; he never saw him till the other morning at Meryton."
"This account then is what he has received from Mr. Darcy. I am
satisfied. But what does he say of the living?"
"He does not exactly recollect the circumstances, though he has heard
them from Mr. Darcy more than once, but he believes that it was left to
him _conditionally_ only."
"I have not a doubt of Mr. Bingley's sincerity," said Elizabeth warmly;
"but you must excuse my not being convinced by assurances only. Mr.
Bingley's defense of his friend was a very able one, I dare say; but
since he is unacquainted with several parts of the story, and has learnt
the rest from that friend himself, I shall venture to still think of
both gentlemen as I did before."
She then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each, and on
which there could be no difference of sentiment. Elizabeth listened with
delight to the happy, though modest hopes which Jane entertained of Mr.
Bingley's regard, and said all in her power to heighten her confidence
in it. On their being joined by Mr. Bingley himself, Elizabeth withdrew
to Miss Lucas; to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last
partner she had scarcely replied, before Mr. Collins came up to them,
and told her with great exultation that he had just been so fortunate as
to make a most important discovery.
"I have found out," said he, "by a singular accident, that there is now
in the room a near relation of my patroness. I happened to overhear the
gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the honours of
the house the names of his cousin Miss de Bourgh, and of her mother Lady
Catherine. How wonderfully these sort of things occur! Who would have
thought of my meeting with, perhaps, a nephew of Lady Catherine de
Bourgh in this assembly! I am most thankful that the discovery is made
in time for me to pay my respects to him, which I am now going to
do, and trust he will excuse my not having done it before. My total
ignorance of the connection must plead my apology."
"You are not going to introduce yourself to Mr. Darcy!"
"Indeed I am. I shall entreat his pardon for not having done it earlier.
I believe him to be Lady Catherine's _nephew_. It will be in my power to
assure him that her ladyship was quite well yesterday se'nnight."
Elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme, assuring him
that Mr. Darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction
as an impertinent freedom, rather than a compliment to his aunt; that
it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either
side; and that if it were, it must belong to Mr. Darcy, the superior in
consequence, to begin the acquaintance. Mr. Collins listened to her
with the determined air of following his own inclination, and, when she
ceased speaking, replied thus:
"My dear Miss Elizabeth, I have the highest opinion in the world in
your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your
understanding; but permit me to say, that there must be a wide
difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity,
and those which regulate the clergy; for, give me leave to observe that
I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with
the highest rank in the kingdom--provided that a proper humility of
behaviour is at the same time maintained. You must therefore allow me to
follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion, which leads me to
perform what I look on as a point of duty. Pardon me for neglecting to
profit by your advice, which on every other subject shall be my constant
guide, though in the case before us I consider myself more fitted by
education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young
lady like yourself." And with a low bow he left her to attack Mr.
Darcy, whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched, and whose
astonishment at being so addressed was very evident. Her cousin prefaced
his speech with a solemn bow and though she could not hear a word of
it, she felt as if hearing it all, and saw in the motion of his lips the
words "apology," "Hunsford," and "Lady Catherine de Bourgh." It vexed
her to see him expose himself to such a man. Mr. Darcy was eyeing him
with unrestrained wonder, and when at last Mr. Collins allowed him time
to speak, replied with an air of distant civility. Mr. Collins, however,
was not discouraged from speaking again, and Mr. Darcy's contempt seemed
abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech, and at the
end of it he only made him a slight bow, and moved another way. Mr.
Collins then returned to Elizabeth.
"I have no reason, I assure you," said he, "to be dissatisfied with my
reception. Mr. Darcy seemed much pleased with the attention. He answered
me with the utmost civility, and even paid me the compliment of saying
that he was so well convinced of Lady Catherine's discernment as to be
certain she could never bestow a favour unworthily. It was really a very
handsome thought. Upon the whole, I am much pleased with him."
As Elizabeth had no longer any interest of her own to pursue, she turned
her attention almost entirely on her sister and Mr. Bingley; and the
train of agreeable reflections which her observations gave birth to,
made her perhaps almost as happy as Jane. She saw her in idea settled in
that very house, in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection
could bestow; and she felt capable, under such circumstances, of
endeavouring even to like Bingley's two sisters. Her mother's thoughts
she plainly saw were bent the same way, and she determined not to
venture near her, lest she might hear too much. When they sat down to
supper, therefore, she considered it a most unlucky perverseness which
placed them within one of each other; and deeply was she vexed to find
that her mother was talking to that one person (Lady Lucas) freely,
openly, and of nothing else but her expectation that Jane would soon
be married to Mr. Bingley. It was an animating subject, and Mrs. Bennet
seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the
match. His being such a charming young man, and so rich, and living but
three miles from them, were the first points of self-gratulation; and
then it was such a comfort to think how fond the two sisters were of
Jane, and to be certain that they must desire the connection as much as
she could do. It was, moreover, such a promising thing for her younger
daughters, as Jane's marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of
other rich men; and lastly, it was so pleasant at her time of life to be
able to consign her single daughters to the care of their sister, that
she might not be obliged to go into company more than she liked. It was
necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure, because on
such occasions it is the etiquette; but no one was less likely than Mrs.
Bennet to find comfort in staying home at any period of her life. She
concluded with many good wishes that Lady Lucas might soon be equally
fortunate, though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no
chance of it.
In vain did Elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mother's
words, or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible
whisper; for, to her inexpressible vexation, she could perceive that the
chief of it was overheard by Mr. Darcy, who sat opposite to them. Her
mother only scolded her for being nonsensical.
"What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray, that I should be afraid of him? I am
sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say
nothing _he_ may not like to hear."
"For heaven's sake, madam, speak lower. What advantage can it be for you
to offend Mr. Darcy? You will never recommend yourself to his friend by
so doing!"
Nothing that she could say, however, had any influence. Her mother would
talk of her views in the same intelligible tone. Elizabeth blushed and
blushed again with shame and vexation. She could not help frequently
glancing her eye at Mr. Darcy, though every glance convinced her of what
she dreaded; for though he was not always looking at her mother, she was
convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her. The expression
of his face changed gradually from indignant contempt to a composed and
steady gravity.
At length, however, Mrs. Bennet had no more to say; and Lady Lucas, who
had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no
likelihood of sharing, was left to the comforts of cold ham and
chicken. Elizabeth now began to revive. But not long was the interval of
tranquillity; for, when supper was over, singing was talked of, and
she had the mortification of seeing Mary, after very little entreaty,
preparing to oblige the company. By many significant looks and silent
entreaties, did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance,
but in vain; Mary would not understand them; such an opportunity of
exhibiting was delightful to her, and she began her song. Elizabeth's
eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations, and she watched her
progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very
ill rewarded at their close; for Mary, on receiving, amongst the thanks
of the table, the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to
favour them again, after the pause of half a minute began another.
Mary's powers were by no means fitted for such a display; her voice was
weak, and her manner affected. Elizabeth was in agonies. She looked at
Jane, to see how she bore it; but Jane was very composedly talking to
Bingley. She looked at his two sisters, and saw them making signs
of derision at each other, and at Darcy, who continued, however,
imperturbably grave. She looked at her father to entreat his
interference, lest Mary should be singing all night. He took the hint,
and when Mary had finished her second song, said aloud, "That will do
extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other
young ladies have time to exhibit."
Mary, though pretending not to hear, was somewhat disconcerted; and
Elizabeth, sorry for her, and sorry for her father's speech, was afraid
her anxiety had done no good. Others of the party were now applied to.
"If I," said Mr. Collins, "were so fortunate as to be able to sing, I
should have great pleasure, I am sure, in obliging the company with an
air; for I consider music as a very innocent diversion, and perfectly
compatible with the profession of a clergyman. I do not mean, however,
to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time
to music, for there are certainly other things to be attended to. The
rector of a parish has much to do. In the first place, he must make
such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not
offensive to his patron. He must write his own sermons; and the time
that remains will not be too much for his parish duties, and the care
and improvement of his dwelling, which he cannot be excused from making
as comfortable as possible. And I do not think it of light importance
that he should have attentive and conciliatory manners towards everybody,
especially towards those to whom he owes his preferment. I cannot acquit
him of that duty; nor could I think well of the man who should omit an
occasion of testifying his respect towards anybody connected with the
family." And with a bow to Mr. Darcy, he concluded his speech, which had
been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room. Many stared--many
smiled; but no one looked more amused than Mr. Bennet himself, while his
wife seriously commended Mr. Collins for having spoken so sensibly,
and observed in a half-whisper to Lady Lucas, that he was a remarkably
clever, good kind of young man.
To Elizabeth it appeared that, had her family made an agreement to
expose themselves as much as they could during the evening, it would
have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit or
finer success; and happy did she think it for Bingley and her sister
that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice, and that his
feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he
must have witnessed. That his two sisters and Mr. Darcy, however, should
have such an opportunity of ridiculing her relations, was bad enough,
and she could not determine whether the silent contempt of the
gentleman, or the insolent smiles of the ladies, were more intolerable.
The rest of the evening brought her little amusement. She was teased by
Mr. Collins, who continued most perseveringly by her side, and though
he could not prevail on her to dance with him again, put it out of her
power to dance with others. In vain did she entreat him to stand up with
somebody else, and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room.
He assured her, that as to dancing, he was perfectly indifferent to it;
that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to
her and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her
the whole evening. There was no arguing upon such a project. She owed
her greatest relief to her friend Miss Lucas, who often joined them, and
good-naturedly engaged Mr. Collins's conversation to herself.
She was at least free from the offense of Mr. Darcy's further notice;
though often standing within a very short distance of her, quite
disengaged, he never came near enough to speak. She felt it to be the
probable consequence of her allusions to Mr. Wickham, and rejoiced in
it.
The Longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart, and, by
a manoeuvre of Mrs. Bennet, had to wait for their carriage a quarter of
an hour after everybody else was gone, which gave them time to see how
heartily they were wished away by some of the family. Mrs. Hurst and her
sister scarcely opened their mouths, except to complain of fatigue, and
were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves. They repulsed
every attempt of Mrs. Bennet at conversation, and by so doing threw a
languor over the whole party, which was very little relieved by the
long speeches of Mr. Collins, who was complimenting Mr. Bingley and his
sisters on the elegance of their entertainment, and the hospitality and
politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests. Darcy said
nothing at all. Mr. Bennet, in equal silence, was enjoying the scene.
Mr. Bingley and Jane were standing together, a little detached from the
rest, and talked only to each other. Elizabeth preserved as steady a
silence as either Mrs. Hurst or Miss Bingley; and even Lydia was too
much fatigued to utter more than the occasional exclamation of "Lord,
how tired I am!" accompanied by a violent yawn.
When at length they arose to take leave, Mrs. Bennet was most pressingly
civil in her hope of seeing the whole family soon at Longbourn, and
addressed herself especially to Mr. Bingley, to assure him how happy he
would make them by eating a family dinner with them at any time, without
the ceremony of a formal invitation. Bingley was all grateful pleasure,
and he readily engaged for taking the earliest opportunity of waiting on
her, after his return from London, whither he was obliged to go the next
day for a short time.
Mrs. Bennet was perfectly satisfied, and quitted the house under the
delightful persuasion that, allowing for the necessary preparations of
settlements, new carriages, and wedding clothes, she should undoubtedly
see her daughter settled at Netherfield in the course of three or four
months. Of having another daughter married to Mr. Collins, she thought
with equal certainty, and with considerable, though not equal, pleasure.
Elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children; and though the
man and the match were quite good enough for _her_, the worth of each
was eclipsed by Mr. Bingley and Netherfield.
Chapter 19
The next day opened a new scene at Longbourn. Mr. Collins made his
declaration in form. Having resolved to do it without loss of time, as
his leave of absence extended only to the following Saturday, and having
no feelings of diffidence to make it distressing to himself even at
the moment, he set about it in a very orderly manner, with all the
observances, which he supposed a regular part of the business. On
finding Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth, and one of the younger girls together,
soon after breakfast, he addressed the mother in these words:
"May I hope, madam, for your interest with your fair daughter Elizabeth,
when I solicit for the honour of a private audience with her in the
course of this morning?"
Before Elizabeth had time for anything but a blush of surprise, Mrs.
Bennet answered instantly, "Oh dear!--yes--certainly. I am sure Lizzy
will be very happy--I am sure she can have no objection. Come, Kitty, I
want you up stairs." And, gathering her work together, she was hastening
away, when Elizabeth called out:
"Dear madam, do not go. I beg you will not go. Mr. Collins must excuse
me. He can have nothing to say to me that anybody need not hear. I am
going away myself."
"No, no, nonsense, Lizzy. I desire you to stay where you are." And upon
Elizabeth's seeming really, with vexed and embarrassed looks, about to
escape, she added: "Lizzy, I _insist_ upon your staying and hearing Mr.
Collins."
Elizabeth would not oppose such an injunction--and a moment's
consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it
over as soon and as quietly as possible, she sat down again and tried to
conceal, by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between
distress and diversion. Mrs. Bennet and Kitty walked off, and as soon as
they were gone, Mr. Collins began.
"Believe me, my dear Miss Elizabeth, that your modesty, so far from
doing you any disservice, rather adds to your other perfections. You
would have been less amiable in my eyes had there _not_ been this little
unwillingness; but allow me to assure you, that I have your respected
mother's permission for this address. You can hardly doubt the
purport of my discourse, however your natural delicacy may lead you to
dissemble; my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken. Almost as
soon as I entered the house, I singled you out as the companion of
my future life. But before I am run away with by my feelings on this
subject, perhaps it would be advisable for me to state my reasons for
marrying--and, moreover, for coming into Hertfordshire with the design
of selecting a wife, as I certainly did."
The idea of Mr. Collins, with all his solemn composure, being run away
with by his feelings, made Elizabeth so near laughing, that she could
not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him further,
and he continued:
"My reasons for marrying are, first, that I think it a right thing for
every clergyman in easy circumstances (like myself) to set the example
of matrimony in his parish; secondly, that I am convinced that it will
add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly--which perhaps I ought
to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and
recommendation of the very noble lady whom I have the honour of calling
patroness. Twice has she condescended to give me her opinion (unasked
too!) on this subject; and it was but the very Saturday night before I
left Hunsford--between our pools at quadrille, while Mrs. Jenkinson was
arranging Miss de Bourgh's footstool, that she said, 'Mr. Collins, you
must marry. A clergyman like you must marry. Choose properly, choose
a gentlewoman for _my_ sake; and for your _own_, let her be an active,
useful sort of person, not brought up high, but able to make a small
income go a good way. This is my advice. Find such a woman as soon as
you can, bring her to Hunsford, and I will visit her.' Allow me, by the
way, to observe, my fair cousin, that I do not reckon the notice
and kindness of Lady Catherine de Bourgh as among the least of the
advantages in my power to offer. You will find her manners beyond
anything I can describe; and your wit and vivacity, I think, must be
acceptable to her, especially when tempered with the silence and
respect which her rank will inevitably excite. Thus much for my general
intention in favour of matrimony; it remains to be told why my views
were directed towards Longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood, where I
can assure you there are many amiable young women. But the fact is, that
being, as I am, to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured
father (who, however, may live many years longer), I could not satisfy
myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters, that
the loss to them might be as little as possible, when the melancholy
event takes place--which, however, as I have already said, may not
be for several years. This has been my motive, my fair cousin, and
I flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem. And now nothing
remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the
violence of my affection. To fortune I am perfectly indifferent, and
shall make no demand of that nature on your father, since I am well
aware that it could not be complied with; and that one thousand pounds
in the four per cents, which will not be yours till after your mother's
decease, is all that you may ever be entitled to. On that head,
therefore, I shall be uniformly silent; and you may assure yourself that
no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married."
It was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now.
"You are too hasty, sir," she cried. "You forget that I have made no
answer. Let me do it without further loss of time. Accept my thanks for
the compliment you are paying me. I am very sensible of the honour of
your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to
decline them."
"I am not now to learn," replied Mr. Collins, with a formal wave of the
hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the
man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their
favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second, or even a
third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just
said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long."
"Upon my word, sir," cried Elizabeth, "your hope is a rather
extraordinary one after my declaration. I do assure you that I am not
one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so
daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second
time. I am perfectly serious in my refusal. You could not make _me_
happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who
could make you so. Nay, were your friend Lady Catherine to know me, I
am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the
situation."
"Were it certain that Lady Catherine would think so," said Mr. Collins
very gravely--"but I cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all
disapprove of you. And you may be certain when I have the honour of
seeing her again, I shall speak in the very highest terms of your
modesty, economy, and other amiable qualification."
"Indeed, Mr. Collins, all praise of me will be unnecessary. You
must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment
of believing what I say. I wish you very happy and very rich, and by
refusing your hand, do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise.
In making me the offer, you must have satisfied the delicacy of your
feelings with regard to my family, and may take possession of Longbourn
estate whenever it falls, without any self-reproach. This matter may
be considered, therefore, as finally settled." And rising as she
thus spoke, she would have quitted the room, had Mr. Collins not thus
addressed her:
"When I do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject, I
shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given
me; though I am far from accusing you of cruelty at present, because I
know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on
the first application, and perhaps you have even now said as much to
encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the
female character."
"Really, Mr. Collins," cried Elizabeth with some warmth, "you puzzle me
exceedingly. If what I have hitherto said can appear to you in the form
of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as
to convince you of its being one."
"You must give me leave to flatter myself, my dear cousin, that your
refusal of my addresses is merely words of course. My reasons for
believing it are briefly these: It does not appear to me that my hand is
unworthy of your acceptance, or that the establishment I can offer would
be any other than highly desirable. My situation in life, my connections
with the family of de Bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are
circumstances highly in my favour; and you should take it into further
consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no
means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you. Your
portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo
the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications. As I must
therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me,
I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by
suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females."
"I do assure you, sir, that I have no pretensions whatever to that kind
of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would
rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you
again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but
to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect
forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant
female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking
the truth from her heart."
"You are uniformly charming!" cried he, with an air of awkward
gallantry; "and I am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express
authority of both your excellent parents, my proposals will not fail of
being acceptable."
To such perseverance in wilful self-deception Elizabeth would make
no reply, and immediately and in silence withdrew; determined, if
he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering
encouragement, to apply to her father, whose negative might be uttered
in such a manner as to be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could
not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.
Chapter 20
Mr. Collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his
successful love; for Mrs. Bennet, having dawdled about in the vestibule
to watch for the end of the conference, no sooner saw Elizabeth open
the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she
entered the breakfast-room, and congratulated both him and herself in
warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection. Mr. Collins
received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure, and then
proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview, with the result
of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied, since the
refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow
from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character.
This information, however, startled Mrs. Bennet; she would have been
glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage
him by protesting against his proposals, but she dared not believe it,
and could not help saying so.
"But, depend upon it, Mr. Collins," she added, "that Lizzy shall be
brought to reason. I will speak to her about it directly. She is a very
headstrong, foolish girl, and does not know her own interest but I will
_make_ her know it."
"Pardon me for interrupting you, madam," cried Mr. Collins; "but if
she is really headstrong and foolish, I know not whether she would
altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation, who
naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state. If therefore she
actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not
to force her into accepting me, because if liable to such defects of
temper, she could not contribute much to my felicity."
"Sir, you quite misunderstand me," said Mrs. Bennet, alarmed. "Lizzy is
only headstrong in such matters as these. In everything else she is as
good-natured a girl as ever lived. I will go directly to Mr. Bennet, and
we shall very soon settle it with her, I am sure."
She would not give him time to reply, but hurrying instantly to her
husband, called out as she entered the library, "Oh! Mr. Bennet, you
are wanted immediately; we are all in an uproar. You must come and make
Lizzy marry Mr. Collins, for she vows she will not have him, and if you
do not make haste he will change his mind and not have _her_."
Mr. Bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered, and fixed them
on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by
her communication.
"I have not the pleasure of understanding you," said he, when she had
finished her speech. "Of what are you talking?"
"Of Mr. Collins and Lizzy. Lizzy declares she will not have Mr. Collins,
and Mr. Collins begins to say that he will not have Lizzy."
"And what am I to do on the occasion? It seems an hopeless business."
"Speak to Lizzy about it yourself. Tell her that you insist upon her
marrying him."
"Let her be called down. She shall hear my opinion."
Mrs. Bennet rang the bell, and Miss Elizabeth was summoned to the
library.
"Come here, child," cried her father as she appeared. "I have sent for
you on an affair of importance. I understand that Mr. Collins has made
you an offer of marriage. Is it true?" Elizabeth replied that it was.
"Very well--and this offer of marriage you have refused?"
"I have, sir."
"Very well. We now come to the point. Your mother insists upon your
accepting it. Is it not so, Mrs. Bennet?"
"Yes, or I will never see her again."
"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must
be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you
again if you do _not_ marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again
if you _do_."
Elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning,
but Mrs. Bennet, who had persuaded herself that her husband regarded the
affair as she wished, was excessively disappointed.
"What do you mean, Mr. Bennet, in talking this way? You promised me to
_insist_ upon her marrying him."
"My dear," replied her husband, "I have two small favours to request.
First, that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the
present occasion; and secondly, of my room. I shall be glad to have the
library to myself as soon as may be."
Not yet, however, in spite of her disappointment in her husband, did
Mrs. Bennet give up the point. She talked to Elizabeth again and again;
coaxed and threatened her by turns. She endeavoured to secure Jane
in her interest; but Jane, with all possible mildness, declined
interfering; and Elizabeth, sometimes with real earnestness, and
sometimes with playful gaiety, replied to her attacks. Though her manner
varied, however, her determination never did.
Mr. Collins, meanwhile, was meditating in solitude on what had passed.
He thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin
could refuse him; and though his pride was hurt, he suffered in no other
way. His regard for her was quite imaginary; and the possibility of her
deserving her mother's reproach prevented his feeling any regret.
While the family were in this confusion, Charlotte Lucas came to spend
the day with them. She was met in the vestibule by Lydia, who, flying to
her, cried in a half whisper, "I am glad you are come, for there is such
fun here! What do you think has happened this morning? Mr. Collins has
made an offer to Lizzy, and she will not have him."
Charlotte hardly had time to answer, before they were joined by Kitty,
who came to tell the same news; and no sooner had they entered the
breakfast-room, where Mrs. Bennet was alone, than she likewise began on
the subject, calling on Miss Lucas for her compassion, and entreating
her to persuade her friend Lizzy to comply with the wishes of all her
family. "Pray do, my dear Miss Lucas," she added in a melancholy tone,
"for nobody is on my side, nobody takes part with me. I am cruelly used,
nobody feels for my poor nerves."
Charlotte's reply was spared by the entrance of Jane and Elizabeth.
"Aye, there she comes," continued Mrs. Bennet, "looking as unconcerned
as may be, and caring no more for us than if we were at York, provided
she can have her own way. But I tell you, Miss Lizzy--if you take it
into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way,
you will never get a husband at all--and I am sure I do not know who is
to maintain you when your father is dead. I shall not be able to keep
you--and so I warn you. I have done with you from this very day. I told
you in the library, you know, that I should never speak to you again,
and you will find me as good as my word. I have no pleasure in talking
to undutiful children. Not that I have much pleasure, indeed, in talking
to anybody. People who suffer as I do from nervous complaints can have
no great inclination for talking. Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it
is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied."
Her daughters listened in silence to this effusion, sensible that
any attempt to reason with her or soothe her would only increase the
irritation. She talked on, therefore, without interruption from any of
them, till they were joined by Mr. Collins, who entered the room with
an air more stately than usual, and on perceiving whom, she said to
the girls, "Now, I do insist upon it, that you, all of you, hold
your tongues, and let me and Mr. Collins have a little conversation
together."
Elizabeth passed quietly out of the room, Jane and Kitty followed, but
Lydia stood her ground, determined to hear all she could; and Charlotte,
detained first by the civility of Mr. Collins, whose inquiries after
herself and all her family were very minute, and then by a little
curiosity, satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending
not to hear. In a doleful voice Mrs. Bennet began the projected
conversation: "Oh! Mr. Collins!"
"My dear madam," replied he, "let us be for ever silent on this point.
Far be it from me," he presently continued, in a voice that marked his
displeasure, "to resent the behaviour of your daughter. Resignation
to inevitable evils is the duty of us all; the peculiar duty of a
young man who has been so fortunate as I have been in early preferment;
and I trust I am resigned. Perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt
of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand;
for I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as
when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our
estimation. You will not, I hope, consider me as showing any disrespect
to your family, my dear madam, by thus withdrawing my pretensions to
your daughter's favour, without having paid yourself and Mr. Bennet the
compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my
behalf. My conduct may, I fear, be objectionable in having accepted my
dismission from your daughter's lips instead of your own. But we are all
liable to error. I have certainly meant well through the whole affair.
My object has been to secure an amiable companion for myself, with due
consideration for the advantage of all your family, and if my _manner_
has been at all reprehensible, I here beg leave to apologise."
Chapter 21
The discussion of Mr. Collins's offer was now nearly at an end, and
Elizabeth had only to suffer from the uncomfortable feelings necessarily
attending it, and occasionally from some peevish allusions of her
mother. As for the gentleman himself, _his_ feelings were chiefly
expressed, not by embarrassment or dejection, or by trying to avoid her,
but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence. He scarcely ever spoke
to her, and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of
himself were transferred for the rest of the day to Miss Lucas, whose
civility in listening to him was a seasonable relief to them all, and
especially to her friend.
The morrow produced no abatement of Mrs. Bennet's ill-humour or ill
health. Mr. Collins was also in the same state of angry pride. Elizabeth
had hoped that his resentment might shorten his visit, but his plan did
not appear in the least affected by it. He was always to have gone on
Saturday, and to Saturday he meant to stay.
After breakfast, the girls walked to Meryton to inquire if Mr. Wickham
were returned, and to lament over his absence from the Netherfield ball.
He joined them on their entering the town, and attended them to their
aunt's where his regret and vexation, and the concern of everybody, was
well talked over. To Elizabeth, however, he voluntarily acknowledged
that the necessity of his absence _had_ been self-imposed.
"I found," said he, "as the time drew near that I had better not meet
Mr. Darcy; that to be in the same room, the same party with him for so
many hours together, might be more than I could bear, and that scenes
might arise unpleasant to more than myself."
She highly approved his forbearance, and they had leisure for a full
discussion of it, and for all the commendation which they civilly
bestowed on each other, as Wickham and another officer walked back with
them to Longbourn, and during the walk he particularly attended to
her. His accompanying them was a double advantage; she felt all the
compliment it offered to herself, and it was most acceptable as an
occasion of introducing him to her father and mother.
Soon after their return, a letter was delivered to Miss Bennet; it came
from Netherfield. The envelope contained a sheet of elegant, little,
hot-pressed paper, well covered with a lady's fair, flowing hand; and
Elizabeth saw her sister's countenance change as she read it, and saw
her dwelling intently on some particular passages. Jane recollected
herself soon, and putting the letter away, tried to join with her usual
cheerfulness in the general conversation; but Elizabeth felt an anxiety
on the subject which drew off her attention even from Wickham; and no
sooner had he and his companion taken leave, than a glance from Jane
invited her to follow her up stairs. When they had gained their own room,
Jane, taking out the letter, said:
"This is from Caroline Bingley; what it contains has surprised me a good
deal. The whole party have left Netherfield by this time, and are on
their way to town--and without any intention of coming back again. You
shall hear what she says."
She then read the first sentence aloud, which comprised the information
of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly,
and of their meaning to dine in Grosvenor Street, where Mr. Hurst had a
house. The next was in these words: "I do not pretend to regret anything
I shall leave in Hertfordshire, except your society, my dearest friend;
but we will hope, at some future period, to enjoy many returns of that
delightful intercourse we have known, and in the meanwhile may
lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved
correspondence. I depend on you for that." To these highflown
expressions Elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust;
and though the suddenness of their removal surprised her, she saw
nothing in it really to lament; it was not to be supposed that their
absence from Netherfield would prevent Mr. Bingley's being there; and as
to the loss of their society, she was persuaded that Jane must cease to
regard it, in the enjoyment of his.
"It is unlucky," said she, after a short pause, "that you should not be
able to see your friends before they leave the country. But may we not
hope that the period of future happiness to which Miss Bingley looks
forward may arrive earlier than she is aware, and that the delightful
intercourse you have known as friends will be renewed with yet greater
satisfaction as sisters? Mr. Bingley will not be detained in London by
them."
"Caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into
Hertfordshire this winter. I will read it to you:"
"When my brother left us yesterday, he imagined that the business which
took him to London might be concluded in three or four days; but as we
are certain it cannot be so, and at the same time convinced that when
Charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again, we have
determined on following him thither, that he may not be obliged to spend
his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel. Many of my acquaintances are
already there for the winter; I wish that I could hear that you, my
dearest friend, had any intention of making one of the crowd--but of
that I despair. I sincerely hope your Christmas in Hertfordshire may
abound in the gaieties which that season generally brings, and that your
beaux will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the
three of whom we shall deprive you."
"It is evident by this," added Jane, "that he comes back no more this
winter."
"It is only evident that Miss Bingley does not mean that he _should_."
"Why will you think so? It must be his own doing. He is his own
master. But you do not know _all_. I _will_ read you the passage which
particularly hurts me. I will have no reserves from _you_."
"Mr. Darcy is impatient to see his sister; and, to confess the truth,
_we_ are scarcely less eager to meet her again. I really do not think
Georgiana Darcy has her equal for beauty, elegance, and accomplishments;
and the affection she inspires in Louisa and myself is heightened into
something still more interesting, from the hope we dare entertain of
her being hereafter our sister. I do not know whether I ever before
mentioned to you my feelings on this subject; but I will not leave the
country without confiding them, and I trust you will not esteem them
unreasonable. My brother admires her greatly already; he will have
frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing;
her relations all wish the connection as much as his own; and a sister's
partiality is not misleading me, I think, when I call Charles most
capable of engaging any woman's heart. With all these circumstances to
favour an attachment, and nothing to prevent it, am I wrong, my dearest
Jane, in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness
of so many?"
"What do you think of _this_ sentence, my dear Lizzy?" said Jane as she
finished it. "Is it not clear enough? Does it not expressly declare that
Caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister; that she is
perfectly convinced of her brother's indifference; and that if she
suspects the nature of my feelings for him, she means (most kindly!) to
put me on my guard? Can there be any other opinion on the subject?"
"Yes, there can; for mine is totally different. Will you hear it?"
"Most willingly."
"You shall have it in a few words. Miss Bingley sees that her brother is
in love with you, and wants him to marry Miss Darcy. She follows him
to town in hope of keeping him there, and tries to persuade you that he
does not care about you."
Jane shook her head.
"Indeed, Jane, you ought to believe me. No one who has ever seen you
together can doubt his affection. Miss Bingley, I am sure, cannot. She
is not such a simpleton. Could she have seen half as much love in Mr.
Darcy for herself, she would have ordered her wedding clothes. But the
case is this: We are not rich enough or grand enough for them; and she
is the more anxious to get Miss Darcy for her brother, from the notion
that when there has been _one_ intermarriage, she may have less trouble
in achieving a second; in which there is certainly some ingenuity, and
I dare say it would succeed, if Miss de Bourgh were out of the way. But,
my dearest Jane, you cannot seriously imagine that because Miss Bingley
tells you her brother greatly admires Miss Darcy, he is in the smallest
degree less sensible of _your_ merit than when he took leave of you on
Tuesday, or that it will be in her power to persuade him that, instead
of being in love with you, he is very much in love with her friend."
"If we thought alike of Miss Bingley," replied Jane, "your
representation of all this might make me quite easy. But I know the
foundation is unjust. Caroline is incapable of wilfully deceiving
anyone; and all that I can hope in this case is that she is deceiving
herself."
"That is right. You could not have started a more happy idea, since you
will not take comfort in mine. Believe her to be deceived, by all means.
You have now done your duty by her, and must fret no longer."
"But, my dear sister, can I be happy, even supposing the best, in
accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry
elsewhere?"
"You must decide for yourself," said Elizabeth; "and if, upon mature
deliberation, you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is
more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife, I advise you by
all means to refuse him."
"How can you talk so?" said Jane, faintly smiling. "You must know that
though I should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, I could
not hesitate."
"I did not think you would; and that being the case, I cannot consider
your situation with much compassion."
"But if he returns no more this winter, my choice will never be
required. A thousand things may arise in six months!"
The idea of his returning no more Elizabeth treated with the utmost
contempt. It appeared to her merely the suggestion of Caroline's
interested wishes, and she could not for a moment suppose that those
wishes, however openly or artfully spoken, could influence a young man
so totally independent of everyone.
She represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt
on the subject, and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect.
Jane's temper was not desponding, and she was gradually led to hope,
though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope, that
Bingley would return to Netherfield and answer every wish of her heart.
They agreed that Mrs. Bennet should only hear of the departure of the
family, without being alarmed on the score of the gentleman's conduct;
but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern,
and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen
to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together. After
lamenting it, however, at some length, she had the consolation that Mr.
Bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at Longbourn, and the
conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration, that though he had
been invited only to a family dinner, she would take care to have two
full courses.
Chapter 22
The Bennets were engaged to dine with the Lucases and again during the
chief of the day was Miss Lucas so kind as to listen to Mr. Collins.
Elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her. "It keeps him in good
humour," said she, "and I am more obliged to you than I can express."
Charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful, and
that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time. This was
very amiable, but Charlotte's kindness extended farther than Elizabeth
had any conception of; its object was nothing else than to secure her
from any return of Mr. Collins's addresses, by engaging them towards
herself. Such was Miss Lucas's scheme; and appearances were so
favourable, that when they parted at night, she would have felt almost
secure of success if he had not been to leave Hertfordshire so very
soon. But here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his
character, for it led him to escape out of Longbourn House the next
morning with admirable slyness, and hasten to Lucas Lodge to throw
himself at her feet. He was anxious to avoid the notice of his cousins,
from a conviction that if they saw him depart, they could not fail to
conjecture his design, and he was not willing to have the attempt known
till its success might be known likewise; for though feeling almost
secure, and with reason, for Charlotte had been tolerably encouraging,
he was comparatively diffident since the adventure of Wednesday.
His reception, however, was of the most flattering kind. Miss Lucas
perceived him from an upper window as he walked towards the house, and
instantly set out to meet him accidentally in the lane. But little had
she dared to hope that so much love and eloquence awaited her there.
In as short a time as Mr. Collins's long speeches would allow,
everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both; and as
they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that
was to make him the happiest of men; and though such a solicitation must
be waived for the present, the lady felt no inclination to trifle with
his happiness. The stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must
guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its
continuance; and Miss Lucas, who accepted him solely from the pure
and disinterested desire of an establishment, cared not how soon that
establishment were gained.
Sir William and Lady Lucas were speedily applied to for their consent;
and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity. Mr. Collins's present
circumstances made it a most eligible match for their daughter, to whom
they could give little fortune; and his prospects of future wealth were
exceedingly fair. Lady Lucas began directly to calculate, with more
interest than the matter had ever excited before, how many years longer
Mr. Bennet was likely to live; and Sir William gave it as his decided
opinion, that whenever Mr. Collins should be in possession of the
Longbourn estate, it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife
should make their appearance at St. James's. The whole family, in short,
were properly overjoyed on the occasion. The younger girls formed hopes
of _coming out_ a year or two sooner than they might otherwise have
done; and the boys were relieved from their apprehension of Charlotte's
dying an old maid. Charlotte herself was tolerably composed. She had
gained her point, and had time to consider of it. Her reflections were
in general satisfactory. Mr. Collins, to be sure, was neither sensible
nor agreeable; his society was irksome, and his attachment to her must
be imaginary. But still he would be her husband. Without thinking highly
either of men or matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was
the only provision for well-educated young women of small fortune,
and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest
preservative from want. This preservative she had now obtained; and at
the age of twenty-seven, without having ever been handsome, she felt all
the good luck of it. The least agreeable circumstance in the business
was the surprise it must occasion to Elizabeth Bennet, whose friendship
she valued beyond that of any other person. Elizabeth would wonder,
and probably would blame her; and though her resolution was not to be
shaken, her feelings must be hurt by such a disapprobation. She resolved
to give her the information herself, and therefore charged Mr. Collins,
when he returned to Longbourn to dinner, to drop no hint of what had
passed before any of the family. A promise of secrecy was of course very
dutifully given, but it could not be kept without difficulty; for the
curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct
questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade, and he was
at the same time exercising great self-denial, for he was longing to
publish his prosperous love.
As he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the
family, the ceremony of leave-taking was performed when the ladies moved
for the night; and Mrs. Bennet, with great politeness and cordiality,
said how happy they should be to see him at Longbourn again, whenever
his engagements might allow him to visit them.
"My dear madam," he replied, "this invitation is particularly
gratifying, because it is what I have been hoping to receive; and
you may be very certain that I shall avail myself of it as soon as
possible."
They were all astonished; and Mr. Bennet, who could by no means wish for
so speedy a return, immediately said:
"But is there not danger of Lady Catherine's disapprobation here, my
good sir? You had better neglect your relations than run the risk of
offending your patroness."
"My dear sir," replied Mr. Collins, "I am particularly obliged to you
for this friendly caution, and you may depend upon my not taking so
material a step without her ladyship's concurrence."
"You cannot be too much upon your guard. Risk anything rather than her
displeasure; and if you find it likely to be raised by your coming to us
again, which I should think exceedingly probable, stay quietly at home,
and be satisfied that _we_ shall take no offence."
"Believe me, my dear sir, my gratitude is warmly excited by such
affectionate attention; and depend upon it, you will speedily receive
from me a letter of thanks for this, and for every other mark of your
regard during my stay in Hertfordshire. As for my fair cousins, though
my absence may not be long enough to render it necessary, I shall now
take the liberty of wishing them health and happiness, not excepting my
cousin Elizabeth."
With proper civilities the ladies then withdrew; all of them equally
surprised that he meditated a quick return. Mrs. Bennet wished to
understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her
younger girls, and Mary might have been prevailed on to accept him.
She rated his abilities much higher than any of the others; there was
a solidity in his reflections which often struck her, and though by no
means so clever as herself, she thought that if encouraged to read
and improve himself by such an example as hers, he might become a very
agreeable companion. But on the following morning, every hope of this
kind was done away. Miss Lucas called soon after breakfast, and in a
private conference with Elizabeth related the event of the day before.
The possibility of Mr. Collins's fancying himself in love with her
friend had once occurred to Elizabeth within the last day or two; but
that Charlotte could encourage him seemed almost as far from
possibility as she could encourage him herself, and her astonishment was
consequently so great as to overcome at first the bounds of decorum, and
she could not help crying out:
"Engaged to Mr. Collins! My dear Charlotte--impossible!"
The steady countenance which Miss Lucas had commanded in telling her
story, gave way to a momentary confusion here on receiving so direct a
reproach; though, as it was no more than she expected, she soon regained
her composure, and calmly replied:
"Why should you be surprised, my dear Eliza? Do you think it incredible
that Mr. Collins should be able to procure any woman's good opinion,
because he was not so happy as to succeed with you?"
But Elizabeth had now recollected herself, and making a strong effort
for it, was able to assure with tolerable firmness that the prospect of
their relationship was highly grateful to her, and that she wished her
all imaginable happiness.
"I see what you are feeling," replied Charlotte. "You must be surprised,
very much surprised--so lately as Mr. Collins was wishing to marry
you. But when you have had time to think it over, I hope you will be
satisfied with what I have done. I am not romantic, you know; I never
was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins's
character, connection, and situation in life, I am convinced that my
chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on
entering the marriage state."
Elizabeth quietly answered "Undoubtedly;" and after an awkward pause,
they returned to the rest of the family. Charlotte did not stay much
longer, and Elizabeth was then left to reflect on what she had heard.
It was a long time before she became at all reconciled to the idea of so
unsuitable a match. The strangeness of Mr. Collins's making two offers
of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now
accepted. She had always felt that Charlotte's opinion of matrimony was
not exactly like her own, but she had not supposed it to be possible
that, when called into action, she would have sacrificed every better
feeling to worldly advantage. Charlotte the wife of Mr. Collins was a
most humiliating picture! And to the pang of a friend disgracing herself
and sunk in her esteem, was added the distressing conviction that it
was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had
chosen.
Chapter 23
Elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters, reflecting on what
she had heard, and doubting whether she was authorised to mention
it, when Sir William Lucas himself appeared, sent by his daughter, to
announce her engagement to the family. With many compliments to them,
and much self-gratulation on the prospect of a connection between the
houses, he unfolded the matter--to an audience not merely wondering, but
incredulous; for Mrs. Bennet, with more perseverance than politeness,
protested he must be entirely mistaken; and Lydia, always unguarded and
often uncivil, boisterously exclaimed:
"Good Lord! Sir William, how can you tell such a story? Do not you know
that Mr. Collins wants to marry Lizzy?"
Nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne
without anger such treatment; but Sir William's good breeding carried
him through it all; and though he begged leave to be positive as to the
truth of his information, he listened to all their impertinence with the
most forbearing courtesy.
Elizabeth, feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant
a situation, now put herself forward to confirm his account, by
mentioning her prior knowledge of it from Charlotte herself; and
endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of her mother and sisters
by the earnestness of her congratulations to Sir William, in which she
was readily joined by Jane, and by making a variety of remarks on the
happiness that might be expected from the match, the excellent character
of Mr. Collins, and the convenient distance of Hunsford from London.
Mrs. Bennet was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while
Sir William remained; but no sooner had he left them than her feelings
found a rapid vent. In the first place, she persisted in disbelieving
the whole of the matter; secondly, she was very sure that Mr. Collins
had been taken in; thirdly, she trusted that they would never be
happy together; and fourthly, that the match might be broken off. Two
inferences, however, were plainly deduced from the whole: one, that
Elizabeth was the real cause of the mischief; and the other that she
herself had been barbarously misused by them all; and on these two
points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day. Nothing could
console and nothing could appease her. Nor did that day wear out her
resentment. A week elapsed before she could see Elizabeth without
scolding her, a month passed away before she could speak to Sir William
or Lady Lucas without being rude, and many months were gone before she
could at all forgive their daughter.
Mr. Bennet's emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion, and such
as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort; for
it gratified him, he said, to discover that Charlotte Lucas, whom he had
been used to think tolerably sensible, was as foolish as his wife, and
more foolish than his daughter!
Jane confessed herself a little surprised at the match; but she said
less of her astonishment than of her earnest desire for their happiness;
nor could Elizabeth persuade her to consider it as improbable. Kitty
and Lydia were far from envying Miss Lucas, for Mr. Collins was only a
clergyman; and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news
to spread at Meryton.
Lady Lucas could not be insensible of triumph on being able to retort
on Mrs. Bennet the comfort of having a daughter well married; and she
called at Longbourn rather oftener than usual to say how happy she was,
though Mrs. Bennet's sour looks and ill-natured remarks might have been
enough to drive happiness away.
Between Elizabeth and Charlotte there was a restraint which kept them
mutually silent on the subject; and Elizabeth felt persuaded that
no real confidence could ever subsist between them again. Her
disappointment in Charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her
sister, of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could
never be shaken, and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious,
as Bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his
return.
Jane had sent Caroline an early answer to her letter, and was counting
the days till she might reasonably hope to hear again. The promised
letter of thanks from Mr. Collins arrived on Tuesday, addressed to
their father, and written with all the solemnity of gratitude which a
twelvemonth's abode in the family might have prompted. After discharging
his conscience on that head, he proceeded to inform them, with many
rapturous expressions, of his happiness in having obtained the affection
of their amiable neighbour, Miss Lucas, and then explained that it was
merely with the view of enjoying her society that he had been so ready
to close with their kind wish of seeing him again at Longbourn, whither
he hoped to be able to return on Monday fortnight; for Lady Catherine,
he added, so heartily approved his marriage, that she wished it to take
place as soon as possible, which he trusted would be an unanswerable
argument with his amiable Charlotte to name an early day for making him
the happiest of men.
Mr. Collins's return into Hertfordshire was no longer a matter of
pleasure to Mrs. Bennet. On the contrary, she was as much disposed to
complain of it as her husband. It was very strange that he should come
to Longbourn instead of to Lucas Lodge; it was also very inconvenient
and exceedingly troublesome. She hated having visitors in the house
while her health was so indifferent, and lovers were of all people the
most disagreeable. Such were the gentle murmurs of Mrs. Bennet, and
they gave way only to the greater distress of Mr. Bingley's continued
absence.
Neither Jane nor Elizabeth were comfortable on this subject. Day after
day passed away without bringing any other tidings of him than the
report which shortly prevailed in Meryton of his coming no more to
Netherfield the whole winter; a report which highly incensed Mrs.
Bennet, and which she never failed to contradict as a most scandalous
falsehood.
Even Elizabeth began to fear--not that Bingley was indifferent--but that
his sisters would be successful in keeping him away. Unwilling as
she was to admit an idea so destructive of Jane's happiness, and so
dishonorable to the stability of her lover, she could not prevent its
frequently occurring. The united efforts of his two unfeeling sisters
and of his overpowering friend, assisted by the attractions of Miss
Darcy and the amusements of London might be too much, she feared, for
the strength of his attachment.
As for Jane, _her_ anxiety under this suspense was, of course, more
painful than Elizabeth's, but whatever she felt she was desirous of
concealing, and between herself and Elizabeth, therefore, the subject
was never alluded to. But as no such delicacy restrained her mother,
an hour seldom passed in which she did not talk of Bingley, express her
impatience for his arrival, or even require Jane to confess that if he
did not come back she would think herself very ill used. It needed
all Jane's steady mildness to bear these attacks with tolerable
tranquillity.
Mr. Collins returned most punctually on Monday fortnight, but his
reception at Longbourn was not quite so gracious as it had been on his
first introduction. He was too happy, however, to need much attention;
and luckily for the others, the business of love-making relieved them
from a great deal of his company. The chief of every day was spent by
him at Lucas Lodge, and he sometimes returned to Longbourn only in time
to make an apology for his absence before the family went to bed.
Mrs. Bennet was really in a most pitiable state. The very mention of
anything concerning the match threw her into an agony of ill-humour,
and wherever she went she was sure of hearing it talked of. The sight
of Miss Lucas was odious to her. As her successor in that house, she
regarded her with jealous abhorrence. Whenever Charlotte came to see
them, she concluded her to be anticipating the hour of possession; and
whenever she spoke in a low voice to Mr. Collins, was convinced that
they were talking of the Longbourn estate, and resolving to turn herself
and her daughters out of the house, as soon as Mr. Bennet were dead. She
complained bitterly of all this to her husband.
"Indeed, Mr. Bennet," said she, "it is very hard to think that Charlotte
Lucas should ever be mistress of this house, that I should be forced to
make way for _her_, and live to see her take her place in it!"
"My dear, do not give way to such gloomy thoughts. Let us hope for
better things. Let us flatter ourselves that I may be the survivor."
This was not very consoling to Mrs. Bennet, and therefore, instead of
making any answer, she went on as before.
"I cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate. If it was
not for the entail, I should not mind it."
"What should not you mind?"
"I should not mind anything at all."
"Let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such
insensibility."
"I never can be thankful, Mr. Bennet, for anything about the entail. How
anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from one's own
daughters, I cannot understand; and all for the sake of Mr. Collins too!
Why should _he_ have it more than anybody else?"
"I leave it to yourself to determine," said Mr. Bennet.
Chapter 24
Miss Bingley's letter arrived, and put an end to doubt. The very first
sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in London for
the winter, and concluded with her brother's regret at not having had
time to pay his respects to his friends in Hertfordshire before he left
the country.
Hope was over, entirely over; and when Jane could attend to the rest
of the letter, she found little, except the professed affection of the
writer, that could give her any comfort. Miss Darcy's praise occupied
the chief of it. Her many attractions were again dwelt on, and Caroline
boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy, and ventured to predict
the accomplishment of the wishes which had been unfolded in her former
letter. She wrote also with great pleasure of her brother's being an
inmate of Mr. Darcy's house, and mentioned with raptures some plans of
the latter with regard to new furniture.
Elizabeth, to whom Jane very soon communicated the chief of all this,
heard it in silent indignation. Her heart was divided between concern
for her sister, and resentment against all others. To Caroline's
assertion of her brother's being partial to Miss Darcy she paid no
credit. That he was really fond of Jane, she doubted no more than she
had ever done; and much as she had always been disposed to like him, she
could not think without anger, hardly without contempt, on that easiness
of temper, that want of proper resolution, which now made him the slave
of his designing friends, and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness
to the caprice of their inclination. Had his own happiness, however,
been the only sacrifice, he might have been allowed to sport with it in
whatever manner he thought best, but her sister's was involved in it, as
she thought he must be sensible himself. It was a subject, in short,
on which reflection would be long indulged, and must be unavailing. She
could think of nothing else; and yet whether Bingley's regard had really
died away, or were suppressed by his friends' interference; whether
he had been aware of Jane's attachment, or whether it had escaped his
observation; whatever were the case, though her opinion of him must be
materially affected by the difference, her sister's situation remained
the same, her peace equally wounded.
A day or two passed before Jane had courage to speak of her feelings to
Elizabeth; but at last, on Mrs. Bennet's leaving them together, after a
longer irritation than usual about Netherfield and its master, she could
not help saying:
"Oh, that my dear mother had more command over herself! She can have no
idea of the pain she gives me by her continual reflections on him. But
I will not repine. It cannot last long. He will be forgot, and we shall
all be as we were before."
Elizabeth looked at her sister with incredulous solicitude, but said
nothing.
"You doubt me," cried Jane, slightly colouring; "indeed, you have
no reason. He may live in my memory as the most amiable man of my
acquaintance, but that is all. I have nothing either to hope or fear,
and nothing to reproach him with. Thank God! I have not _that_ pain. A
little time, therefore--I shall certainly try to get the better."
With a stronger voice she soon added, "I have this comfort immediately,
that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side, and that it
has done no harm to anyone but myself."
"My dear Jane!" exclaimed Elizabeth, "you are too good. Your sweetness
and disinterestedness are really angelic; I do not know what to say
to you. I feel as if I had never done you justice, or loved you as you
deserve."
Miss Bennet eagerly disclaimed all extraordinary merit, and threw back
the praise on her sister's warm affection.
"Nay," said Elizabeth, "this is not fair. _You_ wish to think all the
world respectable, and are hurt if I speak ill of anybody. I only want
to think _you_ perfect, and you set yourself against it. Do not
be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your
privilege of universal good-will. You need not. There are few people
whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see
of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms
my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the
little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or
sense. I have met with two instances lately, one I will not mention; the
other is Charlotte's marriage. It is unaccountable! In every view it is
unaccountable!"
"My dear Lizzy, do not give way to such feelings as these. They will
ruin your happiness. You do not make allowance enough for difference
of situation and temper. Consider Mr. Collins's respectability, and
Charlotte's steady, prudent character. Remember that she is one of a
large family; that as to fortune, it is a most eligible match; and be
ready to believe, for everybody's sake, that she may feel something like
regard and esteem for our cousin."
"To oblige you, I would try to believe almost anything, but no one else
could be benefited by such a belief as this; for were I persuaded that
Charlotte had any regard for him, I should only think worse of her
understanding than I now do of her heart. My dear Jane, Mr. Collins is a
conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as
I do; and you must feel, as well as I do, that the woman who married him
cannot have a proper way of thinking. You shall not defend her, though
it is Charlotte Lucas. You shall not, for the sake of one individual,
change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade
yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of
danger security for happiness."
"I must think your language too strong in speaking of both," replied
Jane; "and I hope you will be convinced of it by seeing them happy
together. But enough of this. You alluded to something else. You
mentioned _two_ instances. I cannot misunderstand you, but I entreat
you, dear Lizzy, not to pain me by thinking _that person_ to blame, and
saying your opinion of him is sunk. We must not be so ready to fancy
ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man
to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but
our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than
it does."
"And men take care that they should."
"If it is designedly done, they cannot be justified; but I have no idea
of there being so much design in the world as some persons imagine."
"I am far from attributing any part of Mr. Bingley's conduct to design,"
said Elizabeth; "but without scheming to do wrong, or to make others
unhappy, there may be error, and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness,
want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution,
will do the business."
"And do you impute it to either of those?"
"Yes; to the last. But if I go on, I shall displease you by saying what
I think of persons you esteem. Stop me whilst you can."
"You persist, then, in supposing his sisters influence him?"
"Yes, in conjunction with his friend."
"I cannot believe it. Why should they try to influence him? They can
only wish his happiness; and if he is attached to me, no other woman can
secure it."
"Your first position is false. They may wish many things besides his
happiness; they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence; they
may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money, great
connections, and pride."
"Beyond a doubt, they _do_ wish him to choose Miss Darcy," replied Jane;
"but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing. They have
known her much longer than they have known me; no wonder if they love
her better. But, whatever may be their own wishes, it is very unlikely
they should have opposed their brother's. What sister would think
herself at liberty to do it, unless there were something very
objectionable? If they believed him attached to me, they would not try
to part us; if he were so, they could not succeed. By supposing such an
affection, you make everybody acting unnaturally and wrong, and me most
unhappy. Do not distress me by the idea. I am not ashamed of having been
mistaken--or, at least, it is light, it is nothing in comparison of what
I should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters. Let me take it in
the best light, in the light in which it may be understood."
Elizabeth could not oppose such a wish; and from this time Mr. Bingley's
name was scarcely ever mentioned between them.
Mrs. Bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no
more, and though a day seldom passed in which Elizabeth did not account
for it clearly, there was little chance of her ever considering it with
less perplexity. Her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she
did not believe herself, that his attentions to Jane had been merely the
effect of a common and transient liking, which ceased when he saw her
no more; but though the probability of the statement was admitted at
the time, she had the same story to repeat every day. Mrs. Bennet's best
comfort was that Mr. Bingley must be down again in the summer.
Mr. Bennet treated the matter differently. "So, Lizzy," said he one day,
"your sister is crossed in love, I find. I congratulate her. Next to
being married, a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then.
It is something to think of, and it gives her a sort of distinction
among her companions. When is your turn to come? You will hardly bear to
be long outdone by Jane. Now is your time. Here are officers enough in
Meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country. Let Wickham
be _your_ man. He is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably."
"Thank you, sir, but a less agreeable man would satisfy me. We must not
all expect Jane's good fortune."
"True," said Mr. Bennet, "but it is a comfort to think that whatever of
that kind may befall you, you have an affectionate mother who will make
the most of it."
Mr. Wickham's society was of material service in dispelling the gloom
which the late perverse occurrences had thrown on many of the Longbourn
family. They saw him often, and to his other recommendations was now
added that of general unreserve. The whole of what Elizabeth had already
heard, his claims on Mr. Darcy, and all that he had suffered from him,
was now openly acknowledged and publicly canvassed; and everybody was
pleased to know how much they had always disliked Mr. Darcy before they
had known anything of the matter.
Miss Bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be
any extenuating circumstances in the case, unknown to the society
of Hertfordshire; her mild and steady candour always pleaded for
allowances, and urged the possibility of mistakes--but by everybody else
Mr. Darcy was condemned as the worst of men.
Chapter 25
After a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity,
Mr. Collins was called from his amiable Charlotte by the arrival of
Saturday. The pain of separation, however, might be alleviated on his
side, by preparations for the reception of his bride; as he had reason
to hope, that shortly after his return into Hertfordshire, the day would
be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men. He took leave of his
relations at Longbourn with as much solemnity as before; wished his fair
cousins health and happiness again, and promised their father another
letter of thanks.
On the following Monday, Mrs. Bennet had the pleasure of receiving
her brother and his wife, who came as usual to spend the Christmas
at Longbourn. Mr. Gardiner was a sensible, gentlemanlike man, greatly
superior to his sister, as well by nature as education. The Netherfield
ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived
by trade, and within view of his own warehouses, could have been so
well-bred and agreeable. Mrs. Gardiner, who was several years younger
than Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Phillips, was an amiable, intelligent, elegant
woman, and a great favourite with all her Longbourn nieces. Between the
two eldest and herself especially, there subsisted a particular regard.
They had frequently been staying with her in town.
The first part of Mrs. Gardiner's business on her arrival was to
distribute her presents and describe the newest fashions. When this was
done she had a less active part to play. It became her turn to listen.
Mrs. Bennet had many grievances to relate, and much to complain of. They
had all been very ill-used since she last saw her sister. Two of her
girls had been upon the point of marriage, and after all there was
nothing in it.
"I do not blame Jane," she continued, "for Jane would have got Mr.
Bingley if she could. But Lizzy! Oh, sister! It is very hard to think
that she might have been Mr. Collins's wife by this time, had it not
been for her own perverseness. He made her an offer in this very room,
and she refused him. The consequence of it is, that Lady Lucas will have
a daughter married before I have, and that the Longbourn estate is just
as much entailed as ever. The Lucases are very artful people indeed,
sister. They are all for what they can get. I am sorry to say it of
them, but so it is. It makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted
so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves
before anybody else. However, your coming just at this time is the
greatest of comforts, and I am very glad to hear what you tell us, of
long sleeves."
Mrs. Gardiner, to whom the chief of this news had been given before,
in the course of Jane and Elizabeth's correspondence with her, made her
sister a slight answer, and, in compassion to her nieces, turned the
conversation.
When alone with Elizabeth afterwards, she spoke more on the subject. "It
seems likely to have been a desirable match for Jane," said she. "I am
sorry it went off. But these things happen so often! A young man, such
as you describe Mr. Bingley, so easily falls in love with a pretty girl
for a few weeks, and when accident separates them, so easily forgets
her, that these sort of inconsistencies are very frequent."
"An excellent consolation in its way," said Elizabeth, "but it will not
do for _us_. We do not suffer by _accident_. It does not often
happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of
independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in
love with only a few days before."
"But that expression of 'violently in love' is so hackneyed, so
doubtful, so indefinite, that it gives me very little idea. It is as
often applied to feelings which arise from a half-hour's acquaintance,
as to a real, strong attachment. Pray, how _violent was_ Mr. Bingley's
love?"
"I never saw a more promising inclination; he was growing quite
inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. Every time
they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he
offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and I
spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer. Could there be
finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
"Oh, yes!--of that kind of love which I suppose him to have felt. Poor
Jane! I am sorry for her, because, with her disposition, she may not get
over it immediately. It had better have happened to _you_, Lizzy; you
would have laughed yourself out of it sooner. But do you think she
would be prevailed upon to go back with us? Change of scene might be
of service--and perhaps a little relief from home may be as useful as
anything."
Elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal, and felt persuaded
of her sister's ready acquiescence.
"I hope," added Mrs. Gardiner, "that no consideration with regard to
this young man will influence her. We live in so different a part of
town, all our connections are so different, and, as you well know, we go
out so little, that it is very improbable that they should meet at all,
unless he really comes to see her."
"And _that_ is quite impossible; for he is now in the custody of his
friend, and Mr. Darcy would no more suffer him to call on Jane in such
a part of London! My dear aunt, how could you think of it? Mr. Darcy may
perhaps have _heard_ of such a place as Gracechurch Street, but he
would hardly think a month's ablution enough to cleanse him from its
impurities, were he once to enter it; and depend upon it, Mr. Bingley
never stirs without him."
"So much the better. I hope they will not meet at all. But does not Jane
correspond with his sister? _She_ will not be able to help calling."
"She will drop the acquaintance entirely."
But in spite of the certainty in which Elizabeth affected to place this
point, as well as the still more interesting one of Bingley's being
withheld from seeing Jane, she felt a solicitude on the subject which
convinced her, on examination, that she did not consider it entirely
hopeless. It was possible, and sometimes she thought it probable, that
his affection might be reanimated, and the influence of his friends
successfully combated by the more natural influence of Jane's
attractions.
Miss Bennet accepted her aunt's invitation with pleasure; and the
Bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the same time, than as she
hoped by Caroline's not living in the same house with her brother,
she might occasionally spend a morning with her, without any danger of
seeing him.
The Gardiners stayed a week at Longbourn; and what with the Phillipses,
the Lucases, and the officers, there was not a day without its
engagement. Mrs. Bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment
of her brother and sister, that they did not once sit down to a family
dinner. When the engagement was for home, some of the officers always
made part of it--of which officers Mr. Wickham was sure to be one; and
on these occasions, Mrs. Gardiner, rendered suspicious by Elizabeth's
warm commendation, narrowly observed them both. Without supposing them,
from what she saw, to be very seriously in love, their preference
of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy; and
she resolved to speak to Elizabeth on the subject before she left
Hertfordshire, and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such
an attachment.
To Mrs. Gardiner, Wickham had one means of affording pleasure,
unconnected with his general powers. About ten or a dozen years ago,
before her marriage, she had spent a considerable time in that very
part of Derbyshire to which he belonged. They had, therefore, many
acquaintances in common; and though Wickham had been little there since
the death of Darcy's father, it was yet in his power to give her fresher
intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of
procuring.
Mrs. Gardiner had seen Pemberley, and known the late Mr. Darcy by
character perfectly well. Here consequently was an inexhaustible subject
of discourse. In comparing her recollection of Pemberley with the minute
description which Wickham could give, and in bestowing her tribute of
praise on the character of its late possessor, she was delighting both
him and herself. On being made acquainted with the present Mr. Darcy's
treatment of him, she tried to remember some of that gentleman's
reputed disposition when quite a lad which might agree with it, and
was confident at last that she recollected having heard Mr. Fitzwilliam
Darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud, ill-natured boy.
Chapter 26
Mrs. Gardiner's caution to Elizabeth was punctually and kindly given
on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone; after
honestly telling her what she thought, she thus went on:
"You are too sensible a girl, Lizzy, to fall in love merely because
you are warned against it; and, therefore, I am not afraid of speaking
openly. Seriously, I would have you be on your guard. Do not involve
yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want
of fortune would make so very imprudent. I have nothing to say against
_him_; he is a most interesting young man; and if he had the fortune he
ought to have, I should think you could not do better. But as it is, you
must not let your fancy run away with you. You have sense, and we all
expect you to use it. Your father would depend on _your_ resolution and
good conduct, I am sure. You must not disappoint your father."
"My dear aunt, this is being serious indeed."
"Yes, and I hope to engage you to be serious likewise."
"Well, then, you need not be under any alarm. I will take care of
myself, and of Mr. Wickham too. He shall not be in love with me, if I
can prevent it."
"Elizabeth, you are not serious now."
"I beg your pardon, I will try again. At present I am not in love with
Mr. Wickham; no, I certainly am not. But he is, beyond all comparison,
the most agreeable man I ever saw--and if he becomes really attached to
me--I believe it will be better that he should not. I see the imprudence
of it. Oh! _that_ abominable Mr. Darcy! My father's opinion of me does
me the greatest honour, and I should be miserable to forfeit it. My
father, however, is partial to Mr. Wickham. In short, my dear aunt, I
should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy; but
since we see every day that where there is affection, young people
are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into
engagements with each other, how can I promise to be wiser than so many
of my fellow-creatures if I am tempted, or how am I even to know that it
would be wisdom to resist? All that I can promise you, therefore, is not
to be in a hurry. I will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first
object. When I am in company with him, I will not be wishing. In short,
I will do my best."
"Perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very
often. At least, you should not _remind_ your mother of inviting him."
"As I did the other day," said Elizabeth with a conscious smile: "very
true, it will be wise in me to refrain from _that_. But do not imagine
that he is always here so often. It is on your account that he has been
so frequently invited this week. You know my mother's ideas as to the
necessity of constant company for her friends. But really, and upon my
honour, I will try to do what I think to be the wisest; and now I hope
you are satisfied."
Her aunt assured her that she was, and Elizabeth having thanked her for
the kindness of her hints, they parted; a wonderful instance of advice
being given on such a point, without being resented.
Mr. Collins returned into Hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted
by the Gardiners and Jane; but as he took up his abode with the Lucases,
his arrival was no great inconvenience to Mrs. Bennet. His marriage was
now fast approaching, and she was at length so far resigned as to think
it inevitable, and even repeatedly to say, in an ill-natured tone, that
she "_wished_ they might be happy." Thursday was to be the wedding day,
and on Wednesday Miss Lucas paid her farewell visit; and when she
rose to take leave, Elizabeth, ashamed of her mother's ungracious and
reluctant good wishes, and sincerely affected herself, accompanied her
out of the room. As they went downstairs together, Charlotte said:
"I shall depend on hearing from you very often, Eliza."
"_That_ you certainly shall."
"And I have another favour to ask you. Will you come and see me?"
"We shall often meet, I hope, in Hertfordshire."
"I am not likely to leave Kent for some time. Promise me, therefore, to
come to Hunsford."
Elizabeth could not refuse, though she foresaw little pleasure in the
visit.
"My father and Maria are coming to me in March," added Charlotte, "and I
hope you will consent to be of the party. Indeed, Eliza, you will be as
welcome as either of them."
The wedding took place; the bride and bridegroom set off for Kent from
the church door, and everybody had as much to say, or to hear, on
the subject as usual. Elizabeth soon heard from her friend; and their
correspondence was as regular and frequent as it had ever been; that
it should be equally unreserved was impossible. Elizabeth could never
address her without feeling that all the comfort of intimacy was over,
and though determined not to slacken as a correspondent, it was for the
sake of what had been, rather than what was. Charlotte's first letters
were received with a good deal of eagerness; there could not but be
curiosity to know how she would speak of her new home, how she would
like Lady Catherine, and how happy she would dare pronounce herself to
be; though, when the letters were read, Elizabeth felt that Charlotte
expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen. She
wrote cheerfully, seemed surrounded with comforts, and mentioned nothing
which she could not praise. The house, furniture, neighbourhood, and
roads, were all to her taste, and Lady Catherine's behaviour was most
friendly and obliging. It was Mr. Collins's picture of Hunsford and
Rosings rationally softened; and Elizabeth perceived that she must wait
for her own visit there to know the rest.
Jane had already written a few lines to her sister to announce their
safe arrival in London; and when she wrote again, Elizabeth hoped it
would be in her power to say something of the Bingleys.
Her impatience for this second letter was as well rewarded as impatience
generally is. Jane had been a week in town without either seeing or
hearing from Caroline. She accounted for it, however, by supposing that
her last letter to her friend from Longbourn had by some accident been
lost.
"My aunt," she continued, "is going to-morrow into that part of the
town, and I shall take the opportunity of calling in Grosvenor Street."
She wrote again when the visit was paid, and she had seen Miss Bingley.
"I did not think Caroline in spirits," were her words, "but she was very
glad to see me, and reproached me for giving her no notice of my coming
to London. I was right, therefore, my last letter had never reached
her. I inquired after their brother, of course. He was well, but so much
engaged with Mr. Darcy that they scarcely ever saw him. I found that
Miss Darcy was expected to dinner. I wish I could see her. My visit was
not long, as Caroline and Mrs. Hurst were going out. I dare say I shall
see them soon here."
Elizabeth shook her head over this letter. It convinced her that
accident only could discover to Mr. Bingley her sister's being in town.
Four weeks passed away, and Jane saw nothing of him. She endeavoured to
persuade herself that she did not regret it; but she could no longer be
blind to Miss Bingley's inattention. After waiting at home every morning
for a fortnight, and inventing every evening a fresh excuse for her, the
visitor did at last appear; but the shortness of her stay, and yet more,
the alteration of her manner would allow Jane to deceive herself no
longer. The letter which she wrote on this occasion to her sister will
prove what she felt.
"My dearest Lizzy will, I am sure, be incapable of triumphing in her
better judgement, at my expense, when I confess myself to have been
entirely deceived in Miss Bingley's regard for me. But, my dear sister,
though the event has proved you right, do not think me obstinate if I
still assert that, considering what her behaviour was, my confidence was
as natural as your suspicion. I do not at all comprehend her reason for
wishing to be intimate with me; but if the same circumstances were to
happen again, I am sure I should be deceived again. Caroline did not
return my visit till yesterday; and not a note, not a line, did I
receive in the meantime. When she did come, it was very evident that
she had no pleasure in it; she made a slight, formal apology, for not
calling before, said not a word of wishing to see me again, and was
in every respect so altered a creature, that when she went away I was
perfectly resolved to continue the acquaintance no longer. I pity,
though I cannot help blaming her. She was very wrong in singling me out
as she did; I can safely say that every advance to intimacy began on
her side. But I pity her, because she must feel that she has been acting
wrong, and because I am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the
cause of it. I need not explain myself farther; and though _we_ know
this anxiety to be quite needless, yet if she feels it, it will easily
account for her behaviour to me; and so deservedly dear as he is to
his sister, whatever anxiety she must feel on his behalf is natural and
amiable. I cannot but wonder, however, at her having any such fears now,
because, if he had at all cared about me, we must have met, long ago.
He knows of my being in town, I am certain, from something she said
herself; and yet it would seem, by her manner of talking, as if she
wanted to persuade herself that he is really partial to Miss Darcy. I
cannot understand it. If I were not afraid of judging harshly, I should
be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity
in all this. But I will endeavour to banish every painful thought,
and think only of what will make me happy--your affection, and the
invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt. Let me hear from you very
soon. Miss Bingley said something of his never returning to Netherfield
again, of giving up the house, but not with any certainty. We had better
not mention it. I am extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts
from our friends at Hunsford. Pray go to see them, with Sir William and
Maria. I am sure you will be very comfortable there.--Yours, etc."
This letter gave Elizabeth some pain; but her spirits returned as she
considered that Jane would no longer be duped, by the sister at least.
All expectation from the brother was now absolutely over. She would not
even wish for a renewal of his attentions. His character sunk on
every review of it; and as a punishment for him, as well as a possible
advantage to Jane, she seriously hoped he might really soon marry Mr.
Darcy's sister, as by Wickham's account, she would make him abundantly
regret what he had thrown away.
Mrs. Gardiner about this time reminded Elizabeth of her promise
concerning that gentleman, and required information; and Elizabeth
had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to
herself. His apparent partiality had subsided, his attentions were over,
he was the admirer of some one else. Elizabeth was watchful enough to
see it all, but she could see it and write of it without material pain.
Her heart had been but slightly touched, and her vanity was satisfied
with believing that _she_ would have been his only choice, had fortune
permitted it. The sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most
remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself
agreeable; but Elizabeth, less clear-sighted perhaps in this case than
in Charlotte's, did not quarrel with him for his wish of independence.
Nothing, on the contrary, could be more natural; and while able to
suppose that it cost him a few struggles to relinquish her, she was
ready to allow it a wise and desirable measure for both, and could very
sincerely wish him happy.
All this was acknowledged to Mrs. Gardiner; and after relating the
circumstances, she thus went on: "I am now convinced, my dear aunt, that
I have never been much in love; for had I really experienced that pure
and elevating passion, I should at present detest his very name, and
wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial
towards _him_; they are even impartial towards Miss King. I cannot find
out that I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling to
think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all this. My
watchfulness has been effectual; and though I certainly should be a more
interesting object to all my acquaintances were I distractedly in love
with him, I cannot say that I regret my comparative insignificance.
Importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly. Kitty and Lydia take
his defection much more to heart than I do. They are young in the
ways of the world, and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that
handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain."
Chapter 27
With no greater events than these in the Longbourn family, and otherwise
diversified by little beyond the walks to Meryton, sometimes dirty and
sometimes cold, did January and February pass away. March was to take
Elizabeth to Hunsford. She had not at first thought very seriously of
going thither; but Charlotte, she soon found, was depending on the plan
and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure
as well as greater certainty. Absence had increased her desire of seeing
Charlotte again, and weakened her disgust of Mr. Collins. There
was novelty in the scheme, and as, with such a mother and such
uncompanionable sisters, home could not be faultless, a little change
was not unwelcome for its own sake. The journey would moreover give her
a peep at Jane; and, in short, as the time drew near, she would have
been very sorry for any delay. Everything, however, went on smoothly,
and was finally settled according to Charlotte's first sketch. She was
to accompany Sir William and his second daughter. The improvement
of spending a night in London was added in time, and the plan became
perfect as plan could be.
The only pain was in leaving her father, who would certainly miss her,
and who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going, that he
told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter.
The farewell between herself and Mr. Wickham was perfectly friendly; on
his side even more. His present pursuit could not make him forget that
Elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention, the
first to listen and to pity, the first to be admired; and in his manner
of bidding her adieu, wishing her every enjoyment, reminding her of
what she was to expect in Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and trusting their
opinion of her--their opinion of everybody--would always coincide, there
was a solicitude, an interest which she felt must ever attach her to
him with a most sincere regard; and she parted from him convinced that,
whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable
and pleasing.
Her fellow-travellers the next day were not of a kind to make her
think him less agreeable. Sir William Lucas, and his daughter Maria, a
good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say
that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much
delight as the rattle of the chaise. Elizabeth loved absurdities, but
she had known Sir William's too long. He could tell her nothing new of
the wonders of his presentation and knighthood; and his civilities were
worn out, like his information.
It was a journey of only twenty-four miles, and they began it so early
as to be in Gracechurch Street by noon. As they drove to Mr. Gardiner's
door, Jane was at a drawing-room window watching their arrival; when
they entered the passage she was there to welcome them, and Elizabeth,
looking earnestly in her face, was pleased to see it healthful and
lovely as ever. On the stairs were a troop of little boys and girls,
whose eagerness for their cousin's appearance would not allow them to
wait in the drawing-room, and whose shyness, as they had not seen
her for a twelvemonth, prevented their coming lower. All was joy and
kindness. The day passed most pleasantly away; the morning in bustle and
shopping, and the evening at one of the theatres.
Elizabeth then contrived to sit by her aunt. Their first object was her
sister; and she was more grieved than astonished to hear, in reply to
her minute inquiries, that though Jane always struggled to support her
spirits, there were periods of dejection. It was reasonable, however,
to hope that they would not continue long. Mrs. Gardiner gave her the
particulars also of Miss Bingley's visit in Gracechurch Street, and
repeated conversations occurring at different times between Jane and
herself, which proved that the former had, from her heart, given up the
acquaintance.
Mrs. Gardiner then rallied her niece on Wickham's desertion, and
complimented her on bearing it so well.
"But my dear Elizabeth," she added, "what sort of girl is Miss King? I
should be sorry to think our friend mercenary."
"Pray, my dear aunt, what is the difference in matrimonial affairs,
between the mercenary and the prudent motive? Where does discretion end,
and avarice begin? Last Christmas you were afraid of his marrying me,
because it would be imprudent; and now, because he is trying to get
a girl with only ten thousand pounds, you want to find out that he is
mercenary."
"If you will only tell me what sort of girl Miss King is, I shall know
what to think."
"She is a very good kind of girl, I believe. I know no harm of her."
"But he paid her not the smallest attention till her grandfather's death
made her mistress of this fortune."
"No--why should he? If it were not allowable for him to gain _my_
affections because I had no money, what occasion could there be for
making love to a girl whom he did not care about, and who was equally
poor?"
"But there seems an indelicacy in directing his attentions towards her
so soon after this event."
"A man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant
decorums which other people may observe. If _she_ does not object to it,
why should _we_?"
"_Her_ not objecting does not justify _him_. It only shows her being
deficient in something herself--sense or feeling."
"Well," cried Elizabeth, "have it as you choose. _He_ shall be
mercenary, and _she_ shall be foolish."
"No, Lizzy, that is what I do _not_ choose. I should be sorry, you know,
to think ill of a young man who has lived so long in Derbyshire."
"Oh! if that is all, I have a very poor opinion of young men who live in
Derbyshire; and their intimate friends who live in Hertfordshire are not
much better. I am sick of them all. Thank Heaven! I am going to-morrow
where I shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has
neither manner nor sense to recommend him. Stupid men are the only ones
worth knowing, after all."
"Take care, Lizzy; that speech savours strongly of disappointment."
Before they were separated by the conclusion of the play, she had the
unexpected happiness of an invitation to accompany her uncle and aunt in
a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer.
"We have not determined how far it shall carry us," said Mrs. Gardiner,
"but, perhaps, to the Lakes."
No scheme could have been more agreeable to Elizabeth, and her
acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful. "Oh, my dear,
dear aunt," she rapturously cried, "what delight! what felicity! You
give me fresh life and vigour. Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What
are young men to rocks and mountains? Oh! what hours of transport
we shall spend! And when we _do_ return, it shall not be like other
travellers, without being able to give one accurate idea of anything. We
_will_ know where we have gone--we _will_ recollect what we have seen.
Lakes, mountains, and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our
imaginations; nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene,
will we begin quarreling about its relative situation. Let _our_
first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of
travellers."
Chapter 28
Every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to
Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had
seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health,
and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight.
When they left the high road for the lane to Hunsford, every eye was in
search of the Parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view.
The palings of Rosings Park was their boundary on one side. Elizabeth
smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.
At length the Parsonage was discernible. The garden sloping to the
road, the house standing in it, the green pales, and the laurel hedge,
everything declared they were arriving. Mr. Collins and Charlotte
appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at the small gate which
led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of
the whole party. In a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing
at the sight of each other. Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the
liveliest pleasure, and Elizabeth was more and more satisfied with
coming when she found herself so affectionately received. She saw
instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage;
his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some
minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her
family. They were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the
neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they
were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time, with ostentatious
formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's
offers of refreshment.
Elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory; and she could not help
in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room, its
aspect and its furniture, he addressed himself particularly to her,
as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him. But
though everything seemed neat and comfortable, she was not able to
gratify him by any sigh of repentance, and rather looked with wonder at
her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion.
When Mr. Collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be
ashamed, which certainly was not unseldom, she involuntarily turned her
eye on Charlotte. Once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but
in general Charlotte wisely did not hear. After sitting long enough to
admire every article of furniture in the room, from the sideboard to
the fender, to give an account of their journey, and of all that had
happened in London, Mr. Collins invited them to take a stroll in the
garden, which was large and well laid out, and to the cultivation of
which he attended himself. To work in this garden was one of his most
respectable pleasures; and Elizabeth admired the command of countenance
with which Charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise, and
owned she encouraged it as much as possible. Here, leading the way
through every walk and cross walk, and scarcely allowing them an
interval to utter the praises he asked for, every view was pointed out
with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind. He could number the
fields in every direction, and could tell how many trees there were in
the most distant clump. But of all the views which his garden, or which
the country or kingdom could boast, none were to be compared with the
prospect of Rosings, afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered
the park nearly opposite the front of his house. It was a handsome
modern building, well situated on rising ground.
From his garden, Mr. Collins would have led them round his two meadows;
but the ladies, not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white
frost, turned back; and while Sir William accompanied him, Charlotte
took her sister and friend over the house, extremely well pleased,
probably, to have the opportunity of showing it without her husband's
help. It was rather small, but well built and convenient; and everything
was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which
Elizabeth gave Charlotte all the credit. When Mr. Collins could be
forgotten, there was really an air of great comfort throughout, and by
Charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, Elizabeth supposed he must be often
forgotten.
She had already learnt that Lady Catherine was still in the country. It
was spoken of again while they were at dinner, when Mr. Collins joining
in, observed:
"Yes, Miss Elizabeth, you will have the honour of seeing Lady Catherine
de Bourgh on the ensuing Sunday at church, and I need not say you will
be delighted with her. She is all affability and condescension, and I
doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice
when service is over. I have scarcely any hesitation in saying she
will include you and my sister Maria in every invitation with which she
honours us during your stay here. Her behaviour to my dear Charlotte is
charming. We dine at Rosings twice every week, and are never allowed
to walk home. Her ladyship's carriage is regularly ordered for us. I
_should_ say, one of her ladyship's carriages, for she has several."
"Lady Catherine is a very respectable, sensible woman indeed," added
Charlotte, "and a most attentive neighbour."
"Very true, my dear, that is exactly what I say. She is the sort of
woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference."
The evening was spent chiefly in talking over Hertfordshire news,
and telling again what had already been written; and when it closed,
Elizabeth, in the solitude of her chamber, had to meditate upon
Charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding,
and composure in bearing with, her husband, and to acknowledge that it
was all done very well. She had also to anticipate how her visit
would pass, the quiet tenor of their usual employments, the vexatious
interruptions of Mr. Collins, and the gaieties of their intercourse with
Rosings. A lively imagination soon settled it all.
About the middle of the next day, as she was in her room getting ready
for a walk, a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in
confusion; and, after listening a moment, she heard somebody running
up stairs in a violent hurry, and calling loudly after her. She opened
the door and met Maria in the landing place, who, breathless with
agitation, cried out--
"Oh, my dear Eliza! pray make haste and come into the dining-room, for
there is such a sight to be seen! I will not tell you what it is. Make
haste, and come down this moment."
Elizabeth asked questions in vain; Maria would tell her nothing more,
and down they ran into the dining-room, which fronted the lane, in
quest of this wonder; It was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the
garden gate.
"And is this all?" cried Elizabeth. "I expected at least that the pigs
were got into the garden, and here is nothing but Lady Catherine and her
daughter."
"La! my dear," said Maria, quite shocked at the mistake, "it is not
Lady Catherine. The old lady is Mrs. Jenkinson, who lives with them;
the other is Miss de Bourgh. Only look at her. She is quite a little
creature. Who would have thought that she could be so thin and small?"
"She is abominably rude to keep Charlotte out of doors in all this wind.
Why does she not come in?"
"Oh, Charlotte says she hardly ever does. It is the greatest of favours
when Miss de Bourgh comes in."
"I like her appearance," said Elizabeth, struck with other ideas. "She
looks sickly and cross. Yes, she will do for him very well. She will
make him a very proper wife."
Mr. Collins and Charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation
with the ladies; and Sir William, to Elizabeth's high diversion, was
stationed in the doorway, in earnest contemplation of the greatness
before him, and constantly bowing whenever Miss de Bourgh looked that
way.
At length there was nothing more to be said; the ladies drove on, and
the others returned into the house. Mr. Collins no sooner saw the two
girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune, which
Charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked
to dine at Rosings the next day.
Chapter 29
Mr. Collins's triumph, in consequence of this invitation, was complete.
The power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering
visitors, and of letting them see her civility towards himself and his
wife, was exactly what he had wished for; and that an opportunity
of doing it should be given so soon, was such an instance of Lady
Catherine's condescension, as he knew not how to admire enough.
"I confess," said he, "that I should not have been at all surprised by
her ladyship's asking us on Sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at
Rosings. I rather expected, from my knowledge of her affability, that it
would happen. But who could have foreseen such an attention as this? Who
could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there
(an invitation, moreover, including the whole party) so immediately
after your arrival!"
"I am the less surprised at what has happened," replied Sir William,
"from that knowledge of what the manners of the great really are, which
my situation in life has allowed me to acquire. About the court, such
instances of elegant breeding are not uncommon."
Scarcely anything was talked of the whole day or next morning but their
visit to Rosings. Mr. Collins was carefully instructing them in what
they were to expect, that the sight of such rooms, so many servants, and
so splendid a dinner, might not wholly overpower them.
When the ladies were separating for the toilette, he said to Elizabeth--
"Do not make yourself uneasy, my dear cousin, about your apparel. Lady
Catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which
becomes herself and her daughter. I would advise you merely to put on
whatever of your clothes is superior to the rest--there is no occasion
for anything more. Lady Catherine will not think the worse of you
for being simply dressed. She likes to have the distinction of rank
preserved."
While they were dressing, he came two or three times to their different
doors, to recommend their being quick, as Lady Catherine very much
objected to be kept waiting for her dinner. Such formidable accounts of
her ladyship, and her manner of living, quite frightened Maria Lucas
who had been little used to company, and she looked forward to her
introduction at Rosings with as much apprehension as her father had done
to his presentation at St. James's.
As the weather was fine, they had a pleasant walk of about half a
mile across the park. Every park has its beauty and its prospects; and
Elizabeth saw much to be pleased with, though she could not be in such
raptures as Mr. Collins expected the scene to inspire, and was but
slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the
house, and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally
cost Sir Lewis de Bourgh.
When they ascended the steps to the hall, Maria's alarm was every
moment increasing, and even Sir William did not look perfectly calm.
Elizabeth's courage did not fail her. She had heard nothing of Lady
Catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or
miraculous virtue, and the mere stateliness of money or rank she thought
she could witness without trepidation.
From the entrance-hall, of which Mr. Collins pointed out, with a
rapturous air, the fine proportion and the finished ornaments, they
followed the servants through an ante-chamber, to the room where Lady
Catherine, her daughter, and Mrs. Jenkinson were sitting. Her ladyship,
with great condescension, arose to receive them; and as Mrs. Collins had
settled it with her husband that the office of introduction should
be hers, it was performed in a proper manner, without any of those
apologies and thanks which he would have thought necessary.
In spite of having been at St. James's, Sir William was so completely
awed by the grandeur surrounding him, that he had but just courage
enough to make a very low bow, and take his seat without saying a word;
and his daughter, frightened almost out of her senses, sat on the edge
of her chair, not knowing which way to look. Elizabeth found herself
quite equal to the scene, and could observe the three ladies before her
composedly. Lady Catherine was a tall, large woman, with strongly-marked
features, which might once have been handsome. Her air was not
conciliating, nor was her manner of receiving them such as to make her
visitors forget their inferior rank. She was not rendered formidable by
silence; but whatever she said was spoken in so authoritative a tone,
as marked her self-importance, and brought Mr. Wickham immediately to
Elizabeth's mind; and from the observation of the day altogether, she
believed Lady Catherine to be exactly what he represented.
When, after examining the mother, in whose countenance and deportment
she soon found some resemblance of Mr. Darcy, she turned her eyes on the
daughter, she could almost have joined in Maria's astonishment at her
being so thin and so small. There was neither in figure nor face any
likeness between the ladies. Miss de Bourgh was pale and sickly; her
features, though not plain, were insignificant; and she spoke very
little, except in a low voice, to Mrs. Jenkinson, in whose appearance
there was nothing remarkable, and who was entirely engaged in listening
to what she said, and placing a screen in the proper direction before
her eyes.
After sitting a few minutes, they were all sent to one of the windows to
admire the view, Mr. Collins attending them to point out its beauties,
and Lady Catherine kindly informing them that it was much better worth
looking at in the summer.
The dinner was exceedingly handsome, and there were all the servants and
all the articles of plate which Mr. Collins had promised; and, as he had
likewise foretold, he took his seat at the bottom of the table, by her
ladyship's desire, and looked as if he felt that life could furnish
nothing greater. He carved, and ate, and praised with delighted
alacrity; and every dish was commended, first by him and then by Sir
William, who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his son-in-law
said, in a manner which Elizabeth wondered Lady Catherine could bear.
But Lady Catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration, and
gave most gracious smiles, especially when any dish on the table proved
a novelty to them. The party did not supply much conversation. Elizabeth
was ready to speak whenever there was an opening, but she was seated
between Charlotte and Miss de Bourgh--the former of whom was engaged in
listening to Lady Catherine, and the latter said not a word to her all
dinner-time. Mrs. Jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little
Miss de Bourgh ate, pressing her to try some other dish, and fearing
she was indisposed. Maria thought speaking out of the question, and the
gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire.
When the ladies returned to the drawing-room, there was little to
be done but to hear Lady Catherine talk, which she did without any
intermission till coffee came in, delivering her opinion on every
subject in so decisive a manner, as proved that she was not used to
have her judgement controverted. She inquired into Charlotte's domestic
concerns familiarly and minutely, gave her a great deal of advice as
to the management of them all; told her how everything ought to be
regulated in so small a family as hers, and instructed her as to the
care of her cows and her poultry. Elizabeth found that nothing was
beneath this great lady's attention, which could furnish her with an
occasion of dictating to others. In the intervals of her discourse
with Mrs. Collins, she addressed a variety of questions to Maria and
Elizabeth, but especially to the latter, of whose connections she knew
the least, and who she observed to Mrs. Collins was a very genteel,
pretty kind of girl. She asked her, at different times, how many sisters
she had, whether they were older or younger than herself, whether any of
them were likely to be married, whether they were handsome, where they
had been educated, what carriage her father kept, and what had been
her mother's maiden name? Elizabeth felt all the impertinence of
her questions but answered them very composedly. Lady Catherine then
observed,
"Your father's estate is entailed on Mr. Collins, I think. For your
sake," turning to Charlotte, "I am glad of it; but otherwise I see no
occasion for entailing estates from the female line. It was not thought
necessary in Sir Lewis de Bourgh's family. Do you play and sing, Miss
Bennet?"
"A little."
"Oh! then--some time or other we shall be happy to hear you. Our
instrument is a capital one, probably superior to----You shall try it
some day. Do your sisters play and sing?"
"One of them does."
"Why did not you all learn? You ought all to have learned. The Miss
Webbs all play, and their father has not so good an income as yours. Do
you draw?"
"No, not at all."
"What, none of you?"
"Not one."
"That is very strange. But I suppose you had no opportunity. Your mother
should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters."
"My mother would have had no objection, but my father hates London."
"Has your governess left you?"
"We never had any governess."
"No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home
without a governess! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must
have been quite a slave to your education."
Elizabeth could hardly help smiling as she assured her that had not been
the case.
"Then, who taught you? who attended to you? Without a governess, you
must have been neglected."
"Compared with some families, I believe we were; but such of us as
wished to learn never wanted the means. We were always encouraged to
read, and had all the masters that were necessary. Those who chose to be
idle, certainly might."
"Aye, no doubt; but that is what a governess will prevent, and if I had
known your mother, I should have advised her most strenuously to engage
one. I always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady
and regular instruction, and nobody but a governess can give it. It is
wonderful how many families I have been the means of supplying in that
way. I am always glad to get a young person well placed out. Four nieces
of Mrs. Jenkinson are most delightfully situated through my means; and
it was but the other day that I recommended another young person,
who was merely accidentally mentioned to me, and the family are quite
delighted with her. Mrs. Collins, did I tell you of Lady Metcalf's
calling yesterday to thank me? She finds Miss Pope a treasure. 'Lady
Catherine,' said she, 'you have given me a treasure.' Are any of your
younger sisters out, Miss Bennet?"
"Yes, ma'am, all."
"All! What, all five out at once? Very odd! And you only the second. The
younger ones out before the elder ones are married! Your younger sisters
must be very young?"
"Yes, my youngest is not sixteen. Perhaps _she_ is full young to be
much in company. But really, ma'am, I think it would be very hard upon
younger sisters, that they should not have their share of society and
amusement, because the elder may not have the means or inclination to
marry early. The last-born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth
as the first. And to be kept back on _such_ a motive! I think it would
not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind."
"Upon my word," said her ladyship, "you give your opinion very decidedly
for so young a person. Pray, what is your age?"
"With three younger sisters grown up," replied Elizabeth, smiling, "your
ladyship can hardly expect me to own it."
Lady Catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer;
and Elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever
dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence.
"You cannot be more than twenty, I am sure, therefore you need not
conceal your age."
"I am not one-and-twenty."
When the gentlemen had joined them, and tea was over, the card-tables
were placed. Lady Catherine, Sir William, and Mr. and Mrs. Collins sat
down to quadrille; and as Miss de Bourgh chose to play at cassino, the
two girls had the honour of assisting Mrs. Jenkinson to make up her
party. Their table was superlatively stupid. Scarcely a syllable was
uttered that did not relate to the game, except when Mrs. Jenkinson
expressed her fears of Miss de Bourgh's being too hot or too cold, or
having too much or too little light. A great deal more passed at the
other table. Lady Catherine was generally speaking--stating the mistakes
of the three others, or relating some anecdote of herself. Mr. Collins
was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship said, thanking her
for every fish he won, and apologising if he thought he won too many.
Sir William did not say much. He was storing his memory with anecdotes
and noble names.
When Lady Catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose,
the tables were broken up, the carriage was offered to Mrs. Collins,
gratefully accepted and immediately ordered. The party then gathered
round the fire to hear Lady Catherine determine what weather they were
to have on the morrow. From these instructions they were summoned by
the arrival of the coach; and with many speeches of thankfulness on Mr.
Collins's side and as many bows on Sir William's they departed. As soon
as they had driven from the door, Elizabeth was called on by her cousin
to give her opinion of all that she had seen at Rosings, which, for
Charlotte's sake, she made more favourable than it really was. But her
commendation, though costing her some trouble, could by no means satisfy
Mr. Collins, and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyship's praise
into his own hands.
Chapter 30
Sir William stayed only a week at Hunsford, but his visit was long
enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled,
and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not
often met with. While Sir William was with them, Mr. Collins devoted his
morning to driving him out in his gig, and showing him the country; but
when he went away, the whole family returned to their usual employments,
and Elizabeth was thankful to find that they did not see more of her
cousin by the alteration, for the chief of the time between breakfast
and dinner was now passed by him either at work in the garden or in
reading and writing, and looking out of the window in his own book-room,
which fronted the road. The room in which the ladies sat was backwards.
Elizabeth had at first rather wondered that Charlotte should not prefer
the dining-parlour for common use; it was a better sized room, and had a
more pleasant aspect; but she soon saw that her friend had an excellent
reason for what she did, for Mr. Collins would undoubtedly have been
much less in his own apartment, had they sat in one equally lively; and
she gave Charlotte credit for the arrangement.
From the drawing-room they could distinguish nothing in the lane, and
were indebted to Mr. Collins for the knowledge of what carriages went
along, and how often especially Miss de Bourgh drove by in her phaeton,
which he never failed coming to inform them of, though it happened
almost every day. She not unfrequently stopped at the Parsonage, and
had a few minutes' conversation with Charlotte, but was scarcely ever
prevailed upon to get out.
Very few days passed in which Mr. Collins did not walk to Rosings, and
not many in which his wife did not think it necessary to go likewise;
and till Elizabeth recollected that there might be other family livings
to be disposed of, she could not understand the sacrifice of so many
hours. Now and then they were honoured with a call from her ladyship,
and nothing escaped her observation that was passing in the room during
these visits. She examined into their employments, looked at their work,
and advised them to do it differently; found fault with the arrangement
of the furniture; or detected the housemaid in negligence; and if she
accepted any refreshment, seemed to do it only for the sake of finding
out that Mrs. Collins's joints of meat were too large for her family.
Elizabeth soon perceived, that though this great lady was not in
commission of the peace of the county, she was a most active magistrate
in her own parish, the minutest concerns of which were carried to her
by Mr. Collins; and whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to
be quarrelsome, discontented, or too poor, she sallied forth into the
village to settle their differences, silence their complaints, and scold
them into harmony and plenty.
The entertainment of dining at Rosings was repeated about twice a week;
and, allowing for the loss of Sir William, and there being only one
card-table in the evening, every such entertainment was the counterpart
of the first. Their other engagements were few, as the style of living
in the neighbourhood in general was beyond Mr. Collins's reach. This,
however, was no evil to Elizabeth, and upon the whole she spent her time
comfortably enough; there were half-hours of pleasant conversation with
Charlotte, and the weather was so fine for the time of year that she had
often great enjoyment out of doors. Her favourite walk, and where she
frequently went while the others were calling on Lady Catherine, was
along the open grove which edged that side of the park, where there was
a nice sheltered path, which no one seemed to value but herself, and
where she felt beyond the reach of Lady Catherine's curiosity.
In this quiet way, the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away.
Easter was approaching, and the week preceding it was to bring an
addition to the family at Rosings, which in so small a circle must be
important. Elizabeth had heard soon after her arrival that Mr. Darcy was
expected there in the course of a few weeks, and though there were not
many of her acquaintances whom she did not prefer, his coming would
furnish one comparatively new to look at in their Rosings parties, and
she might be amused in seeing how hopeless Miss Bingley's designs on him
were, by his behaviour to his cousin, for whom he was evidently
destined by Lady Catherine, who talked of his coming with the greatest
satisfaction, spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration, and
seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by
Miss Lucas and herself.
His arrival was soon known at the Parsonage; for Mr. Collins was walking
the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into Hunsford Lane,
in order to have the earliest assurance of it, and after making his
bow as the carriage turned into the Park, hurried home with the great
intelligence. On the following morning he hastened to Rosings to pay his
respects. There were two nephews of Lady Catherine to require them, for
Mr. Darcy had brought with him a Colonel Fitzwilliam, the younger son of
his uncle Lord ----, and, to the great surprise of all the party, when
Mr. Collins returned, the gentlemen accompanied him. Charlotte had seen
them from her husband's room, crossing the road, and immediately running
into the other, told the girls what an honour they might expect, adding:
"I may thank you, Eliza, for this piece of civility. Mr. Darcy would
never have come so soon to wait upon me."
Elizabeth had scarcely time to disclaim all right to the compliment,
before their approach was announced by the door-bell, and shortly
afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room. Colonel Fitzwilliam,
who led the way, was about thirty, not handsome, but in person and
address most truly the gentleman. Mr. Darcy looked just as he had been
used to look in Hertfordshire--paid his compliments, with his usual
reserve, to Mrs. Collins, and whatever might be his feelings toward her
friend, met her with every appearance of composure. Elizabeth merely
curtseyed to him without saying a word.
Colonel Fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the
readiness and ease of a well-bred man, and talked very pleasantly; but
his cousin, after having addressed a slight observation on the house and
garden to Mrs. Collins, sat for some time without speaking to anybody.
At length, however, his civility was so far awakened as to inquire of
Elizabeth after the health of her family. She answered him in the usual
way, and after a moment's pause, added:
"My eldest sister has been in town these three months. Have you never
happened to see her there?"
She was perfectly sensible that he never had; but she wished to see
whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between
the Bingleys and Jane, and she thought he looked a little confused as he
answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet Miss Bennet. The
subject was pursued no farther, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went
away.
Chapter 31
Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the Parsonage,
and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures
of their engagements at Rosings. It was some days, however, before they
received any invitation thither--for while there were visitors in the
house, they could not be necessary; and it was not till Easter-day,
almost a week after the gentlemen's arrival, that they were honoured by
such an attention, and then they were merely asked on leaving church to
come there in the evening. For the last week they had seen very little
of Lady Catherine or her daughter. Colonel Fitzwilliam had called at the
Parsonage more than once during the time, but Mr. Darcy they had seen
only at church.
The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined
the party in Lady Catherine's drawing-room. Her ladyship received
them civilly, but it was plain that their company was by no means so
acceptable as when she could get nobody else; and she was, in fact,
almost engrossed by her nephews, speaking to them, especially to Darcy,
much more than to any other person in the room.
Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a
welcome relief to him at Rosings; and Mrs. Collins's pretty friend had
moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and
talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of travelling and staying
at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so
well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much
spirit and flow, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself,
as well as of Mr. Darcy. _His_ eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned
towards them with a look of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a
while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not
scruple to call out:
"What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking
of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is."
"We are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid
a reply.
"Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I
must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music.
There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment
of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt,
I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health
had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed
delightfully. How does Georgiana get on, Darcy?"
Mr. Darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sister's proficiency.
"I am very glad to hear such a good account of her," said Lady
Catherine; "and pray tell her from me, that she cannot expect to excel
if she does not practice a good deal."
"I assure you, madam," he replied, "that she does not need such advice.
She practises very constantly."
"So much the better. It cannot be done too much; and when I next write
to her, I shall charge her not to neglect it on any account. I often
tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without
constant practice. I have told Miss Bennet several times, that she
will never play really well unless she practises more; and though Mrs.
Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told
her, to come to Rosings every day, and play on the pianoforte in Mrs.
Jenkinson's room. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part
of the house."
Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding, and made
no answer.
When coffee was over, Colonel Fitzwilliam reminded Elizabeth of having
promised to play to him; and she sat down directly to the instrument. He
drew a chair near her. Lady Catherine listened to half a song, and then
talked, as before, to her other nephew; till the latter walked away
from her, and making with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte
stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performer's
countenance. Elizabeth saw what he was doing, and at the first
convenient pause, turned to him with an arch smile, and said:
"You mean to frighten me, Mr. Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear
me? I will not be alarmed though your sister _does_ play so well. There
is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the
will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate
me."
"I shall not say you are mistaken," he replied, "because you could not
really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have
had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find
great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are
not your own."
Elizabeth laughed heartily at this picture of herself, and said to
Colonel Fitzwilliam, "Your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of
me, and teach you not to believe a word I say. I am particularly unlucky
in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character, in a part
of the world where I had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of
credit. Indeed, Mr. Darcy, it is very ungenerous in you to mention all
that you knew to my disadvantage in Hertfordshire--and, give me leave to
say, very impolitic too--for it is provoking me to retaliate, and such
things may come out as will shock your relations to hear."
"I am not afraid of you," said he, smilingly.
"Pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of," cried Colonel
Fitzwilliam. "I should like to know how he behaves among strangers."
"You shall hear then--but prepare yourself for something very dreadful.
The first time of my ever seeing him in Hertfordshire, you must know,
was at a ball--and at this ball, what do you think he did? He danced
only four dances, though gentlemen were scarce; and, to my certain
knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a
partner. Mr. Darcy, you cannot deny the fact."
"I had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly
beyond my own party."
"True; and nobody can ever be introduced in a ball-room. Well, Colonel
Fitzwilliam, what do I play next? My fingers wait your orders."
"Perhaps," said Darcy, "I should have judged better, had I sought an
introduction; but I am ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers."
"Shall we ask your cousin the reason of this?" said Elizabeth, still
addressing Colonel Fitzwilliam. "Shall we ask him why a man of sense and
education, and who has lived in the world, is ill qualified to recommend
himself to strangers?"
"I can answer your question," said Fitzwilliam, "without applying to
him. It is because he will not give himself the trouble."
"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy,
"of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot
catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their
concerns, as I often see done."
"My fingers," said Elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the
masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same
force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I
have always supposed it to be my own fault--because I will not take the
trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe _my_ fingers as
capable as any other woman's of superior execution."
Darcy smiled and said, "You are perfectly right. You have employed your
time much better. No one admitted to the privilege of hearing you can
think anything wanting. We neither of us perform to strangers."
Here they were interrupted by Lady Catherine, who called out to know
what they were talking of. Elizabeth immediately began playing again.
Lady Catherine approached, and, after listening for a few minutes, said
to Darcy:
"Miss Bennet would not play at all amiss if she practised more, and
could have the advantage of a London master. She has a very good notion
of fingering, though her taste is not equal to Anne's. Anne would have
been a delightful performer, had her health allowed her to learn."
Elizabeth looked at Darcy to see how cordially he assented to his
cousin's praise; but neither at that moment nor at any other could she
discern any symptom of love; and from the whole of his behaviour to Miss
de Bourgh she derived this comfort for Miss Bingley, that he might have
been just as likely to marry _her_, had she been his relation.
Lady Catherine continued her remarks on Elizabeth's performance, mixing
with them many instructions on execution and taste. Elizabeth received
them with all the forbearance of civility, and, at the request of the
gentlemen, remained at the instrument till her ladyship's carriage was
ready to take them all home.
Chapter 32
Elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning, and writing to Jane
while Mrs. Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village,
when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain signal of a
visitor. As she had heard no carriage, she thought it not unlikely to
be Lady Catherine, and under that apprehension was putting away her
half-finished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions,
when the door opened, and, to her very great surprise, Mr. Darcy, and
Mr. Darcy only, entered the room.
He seemed astonished too on finding her alone, and apologised for his
intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies were
to be within.
They then sat down, and when her inquiries after Rosings were made,
seemed in danger of sinking into total silence. It was absolutely
necessary, therefore, to think of something, and in this emergence
recollecting _when_ she had seen him last in Hertfordshire, and
feeling curious to know what he would say on the subject of their hasty
departure, she observed:
"How very suddenly you all quitted Netherfield last November, Mr. Darcy!
It must have been a most agreeable surprise to Mr. Bingley to see you
all after him so soon; for, if I recollect right, he went but the day
before. He and his sisters were well, I hope, when you left London?"
"Perfectly so, I thank you."
She found that she was to receive no other answer, and, after a short
pause added:
"I think I have understood that Mr. Bingley has not much idea of ever
returning to Netherfield again?"
"I have never heard him say so; but it is probable that he may spend
very little of his time there in the future. He has many friends, and
is at a time of life when friends and engagements are continually
increasing."
"If he means to be but little at Netherfield, it would be better for
the neighbourhood that he should give up the place entirely, for then we
might possibly get a settled family there. But, perhaps, Mr. Bingley did
not take the house so much for the convenience of the neighbourhood as
for his own, and we must expect him to keep it or quit it on the same
principle."
"I should not be surprised," said Darcy, "if he were to give it up as
soon as any eligible purchase offers."
Elizabeth made no answer. She was afraid of talking longer of his
friend; and, having nothing else to say, was now determined to leave the
trouble of finding a subject to him.
He took the hint, and soon began with, "This seems a very comfortable
house. Lady Catherine, I believe, did a great deal to it when Mr.
Collins first came to Hunsford."
"I believe she did--and I am sure she could not have bestowed her
kindness on a more grateful object."
"Mr. Collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife."
"Yes, indeed, his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one
of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made
him happy if they had. My friend has an excellent understanding--though
I am not certain that I consider her marrying Mr. Collins as the
wisest thing she ever did. She seems perfectly happy, however, and in a
prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her."
"It must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a
distance of her own family and friends."
"An easy distance, do you call it? It is nearly fifty miles."
"And what is fifty miles of good road? Little more than half a day's
journey. Yes, I call it a _very_ easy distance."
"I should never have considered the distance as one of the _advantages_
of the match," cried Elizabeth. "I should never have said Mrs. Collins
was settled _near_ her family."
"It is a proof of your own attachment to Hertfordshire. Anything beyond
the very neighbourhood of Longbourn, I suppose, would appear far."
As he spoke there was a sort of smile which Elizabeth fancied she
understood; he must be supposing her to be thinking of Jane and
Netherfield, and she blushed as she answered:
"I do not mean to say that a woman may not be settled too near her
family. The far and the near must be relative, and depend on many
varying circumstances. Where there is fortune to make the expenses of
travelling unimportant, distance becomes no evil. But that is not the
case _here_. Mr. and Mrs. Collins have a comfortable income, but not
such a one as will allow of frequent journeys--and I am persuaded my
friend would not call herself _near_ her family under less than _half_
the present distance."
Mr. Darcy drew his chair a little towards her, and said, "_You_ cannot
have a right to such very strong local attachment. _You_ cannot have
been always at Longbourn."
Elizabeth looked surprised. The gentleman experienced some change of
feeling; he drew back his chair, took a newspaper from the table, and
glancing over it, said, in a colder voice:
"Are you pleased with Kent?"
A short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued, on either side
calm and concise--and soon put an end to by the entrance of Charlotte
and her sister, just returned from her walk. The tete-a-tete surprised
them. Mr. Darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding
on Miss Bennet, and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying
much to anybody, went away.
"What can be the meaning of this?" said Charlotte, as soon as he was
gone. "My dear, Eliza, he must be in love with you, or he would never
have called us in this familiar way."
But when Elizabeth told of his silence, it did not seem very likely,
even to Charlotte's wishes, to be the case; and after various
conjectures, they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed from
the difficulty of finding anything to do, which was the more probable
from the time of year. All field sports were over. Within doors there
was Lady Catherine, books, and a billiard-table, but gentlemen cannot
always be within doors; and in the nearness of the Parsonage, or the
pleasantness of the walk to it, or of the people who lived in it, the
two cousins found a temptation from this period of walking thither
almost every day. They called at various times of the morning, sometimes
separately, sometimes together, and now and then accompanied by their
aunt. It was plain to them all that Colonel Fitzwilliam came because he
had pleasure in their society, a persuasion which of course recommended
him still more; and Elizabeth was reminded by her own satisfaction in
being with him, as well as by his evident admiration of her, of her
former favourite George Wickham; and though, in comparing them, she saw
there was less captivating softness in Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners,
she believed he might have the best informed mind.
But why Mr. Darcy came so often to the Parsonage, it was more difficult
to understand. It could not be for society, as he frequently sat there
ten minutes together without opening his lips; and when he did speak,
it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of choice--a sacrifice
to propriety, not a pleasure to himself. He seldom appeared really
animated. Mrs. Collins knew not what to make of him. Colonel
Fitzwilliam's occasionally laughing at his stupidity, proved that he was
generally different, which her own knowledge of him could not have told
her; and as she would liked to have believed this change the effect
of love, and the object of that love her friend Eliza, she set herself
seriously to work to find it out. She watched him whenever they were at
Rosings, and whenever he came to Hunsford; but without much success. He
certainly looked at her friend a great deal, but the expression of that
look was disputable. It was an earnest, steadfast gaze, but she often
doubted whether there were much admiration in it, and sometimes it
seemed nothing but absence of mind.
She had once or twice suggested to Elizabeth the possibility of his
being partial to her, but Elizabeth always laughed at the idea; and Mrs.
Collins did not think it right to press the subject, from the danger of
raising expectations which might only end in disappointment; for in her
opinion it admitted not of a doubt, that all her friend's dislike would
vanish, if she could suppose him to be in her power.
In her kind schemes for Elizabeth, she sometimes planned her marrying
Colonel Fitzwilliam. He was beyond comparison the most pleasant man; he
certainly admired her, and his situation in life was most eligible; but,
to counterbalance these advantages, Mr. Darcy had considerable patronage
in the church, and his cousin could have none at all.
Chapter 33
More than once did Elizabeth, in her ramble within the park,
unexpectedly meet Mr. Darcy. She felt all the perverseness of the
mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to
prevent its ever happening again, took care to inform him at first that
it was a favourite haunt of hers. How it could occur a second time,
therefore, was very odd! Yet it did, and even a third. It seemed like
wilful ill-nature, or a voluntary penance, for on these occasions it was
not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away,
but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her. He
never said a great deal, nor did she give herself the trouble of talking
or of listening much; but it struck her in the course of their third
rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected questions--about
her pleasure in being at Hunsford, her love of solitary walks, and her
opinion of Mr. and Mrs. Collins's happiness; and that in speaking of
Rosings and her not perfectly understanding the house, he seemed to
expect that whenever she came into Kent again she would be staying
_there_ too. His words seemed to imply it. Could he have Colonel
Fitzwilliam in his thoughts? She supposed, if he meant anything, he must
mean an allusion to what might arise in that quarter. It distressed
her a little, and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the
pales opposite the Parsonage.
She was engaged one day as she walked, in perusing Jane's last letter,
and dwelling on some passages which proved that Jane had not written in
spirits, when, instead of being again surprised by Mr. Darcy, she saw
on looking up that Colonel Fitzwilliam was meeting her. Putting away the
letter immediately and forcing a smile, she said:
"I did not know before that you ever walked this way."
"I have been making the tour of the park," he replied, "as I generally
do every year, and intend to close it with a call at the Parsonage. Are
you going much farther?"
"No, I should have turned in a moment."
And accordingly she did turn, and they walked towards the Parsonage
together.
"Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday?" said she.
"Yes--if Darcy does not put it off again. But I am at his disposal. He
arranges the business just as he pleases."
"And if not able to please himself in the arrangement, he has at least
pleasure in the great power of choice. I do not know anybody who seems
more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy."
"He likes to have his own way very well," replied Colonel Fitzwilliam.
"But so we all do. It is only that he has better means of having it
than many others, because he is rich, and many others are poor. I speak
feelingly. A younger son, you know, must be inured to self-denial and
dependence."
"In my opinion, the younger son of an earl can know very little of
either. Now seriously, what have you ever known of self-denial and
dependence? When have you been prevented by want of money from going
wherever you chose, or procuring anything you had a fancy for?"
"These are home questions--and perhaps I cannot say that I have
experienced many hardships of that nature. But in matters of greater
weight, I may suffer from want of money. Younger sons cannot marry where
they like."
"Unless where they like women of fortune, which I think they very often
do."
"Our habits of expense make us too dependent, and there are not many
in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to
money."
"Is this," thought Elizabeth, "meant for me?" and she coloured at the
idea; but, recovering herself, said in a lively tone, "And pray, what
is the usual price of an earl's younger son? Unless the elder brother is
very sickly, I suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds."
He answered her in the same style, and the subject dropped. To interrupt
a silence which might make him fancy her affected with what had passed,
she soon afterwards said:
"I imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of
having someone at his disposal. I wonder he does not marry, to secure a
lasting convenience of that kind. But, perhaps, his sister does as well
for the present, and, as she is under his sole care, he may do what he
likes with her."
"No," said Colonel Fitzwilliam, "that is an advantage which he must
divide with me. I am joined with him in the guardianship of Miss Darcy."
"Are you indeed? And pray what sort of guardians do you make? Does your
charge give you much trouble? Young ladies of her age are sometimes a
little difficult to manage, and if she has the true Darcy spirit, she
may like to have her own way."
As she spoke she observed him looking at her earnestly; and the manner
in which he immediately asked her why she supposed Miss Darcy likely to
give them any uneasiness, convinced her that she had somehow or other
got pretty near the truth. She directly replied:
"You need not be frightened. I never heard any harm of her; and I dare
say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world. She is a
very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance, Mrs. Hurst and
Miss Bingley. I think I have heard you say that you know them."
"I know them a little. Their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike man--he
is a great friend of Darcy's."
"Oh! yes," said Elizabeth drily; "Mr. Darcy is uncommonly kind to Mr.
Bingley, and takes a prodigious deal of care of him."
"Care of him! Yes, I really believe Darcy _does_ take care of him in
those points where he most wants care. From something that he told me in
our journey hither, I have reason to think Bingley very much indebted to
him. But I ought to beg his pardon, for I have no right to suppose that
Bingley was the person meant. It was all conjecture."
"What is it you mean?"
"It is a circumstance which Darcy could not wish to be generally known,
because if it were to get round to the lady's family, it would be an
unpleasant thing."
"You may depend upon my not mentioning it."
"And remember that I have not much reason for supposing it to be
Bingley. What he told me was merely this: that he congratulated himself
on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most
imprudent marriage, but without mentioning names or any other
particulars, and I only suspected it to be Bingley from believing
him the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort, and from
knowing them to have been together the whole of last summer."
"Did Mr. Darcy give you reasons for this interference?"
"I understood that there were some very strong objections against the
lady."
"And what arts did he use to separate them?"
"He did not talk to me of his own arts," said Fitzwilliam, smiling. "He
only told me what I have now told you."
Elizabeth made no answer, and walked on, her heart swelling with
indignation. After watching her a little, Fitzwilliam asked her why she
was so thoughtful.
"I am thinking of what you have been telling me," said she. "Your
cousin's conduct does not suit my feelings. Why was he to be the judge?"
"You are rather disposed to call his interference officious?"
"I do not see what right Mr. Darcy had to decide on the propriety of his
friend's inclination, or why, upon his own judgement alone, he was to
determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy.
But," she continued, recollecting herself, "as we know none of the
particulars, it is not fair to condemn him. It is not to be supposed
that there was much affection in the case."
"That is not an unnatural surmise," said Fitzwilliam, "but it is a
lessening of the honour of my cousin's triumph very sadly."
This was spoken jestingly; but it appeared to her so just a picture
of Mr. Darcy, that she would not trust herself with an answer, and
therefore, abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent
matters until they reached the Parsonage. There, shut into her own room,
as soon as their visitor left them, she could think without interruption
of all that she had heard. It was not to be supposed that any other
people could be meant than those with whom she was connected. There
could not exist in the world _two_ men over whom Mr. Darcy could have
such boundless influence. That he had been concerned in the measures
taken to separate Bingley and Jane she had never doubted; but she had
always attributed to Miss Bingley the principal design and arrangement
of them. If his own vanity, however, did not mislead him, _he_ was
the cause, his pride and caprice were the cause, of all that Jane had
suffered, and still continued to suffer. He had ruined for a while
every hope of happiness for the most affectionate, generous heart in the
world; and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted.
"There were some very strong objections against the lady," were Colonel
Fitzwilliam's words; and those strong objections probably were, her
having one uncle who was a country attorney, and another who was in
business in London.
"To Jane herself," she exclaimed, "there could be no possibility of
objection; all loveliness and goodness as she is!--her understanding
excellent, her mind improved, and her manners captivating. Neither
could anything be urged against my father, who, though with some
peculiarities, has abilities Mr. Darcy himself need not disdain, and
respectability which he will probably never reach." When she thought of
her mother, her confidence gave way a little; but she would not allow
that any objections _there_ had material weight with Mr. Darcy, whose
pride, she was convinced, would receive a deeper wound from the want of
importance in his friend's connections, than from their want of sense;
and she was quite decided, at last, that he had been partly governed
by this worst kind of pride, and partly by the wish of retaining Mr.
Bingley for his sister.
The agitation and tears which the subject occasioned, brought on a
headache; and it grew so much worse towards the evening, that, added to
her unwillingness to see Mr. Darcy, it determined her not to attend her
cousins to Rosings, where they were engaged to drink tea. Mrs. Collins,
seeing that she was really unwell, did not press her to go and as much
as possible prevented her husband from pressing her; but Mr. Collins
could not conceal his apprehension of Lady Catherine's being rather
displeased by her staying at home.
Chapter 34
When they were gone, Elizabeth, as if intending to exasperate herself
as much as possible against Mr. Darcy, chose for her employment the
examination of all the letters which Jane had written to her since her
being in Kent. They contained no actual complaint, nor was there any
revival of past occurrences, or any communication of present suffering.
But in all, and in almost every line of each, there was a want of that
cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style, and which,
proceeding from the serenity of a mind at ease with itself and kindly
disposed towards everyone, had been scarcely ever clouded. Elizabeth
noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness, with an
attention which it had hardly received on the first perusal. Mr. Darcy's
shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict, gave her
a keener sense of her sister's sufferings. It was some consolation
to think that his visit to Rosings was to end on the day after the
next--and, a still greater, that in less than a fortnight she should
herself be with Jane again, and enabled to contribute to the recovery of
her spirits, by all that affection could do.
She could not think of Darcy's leaving Kent without remembering that
his cousin was to go with him; but Colonel Fitzwilliam had made it clear
that he had no intentions at all, and agreeable as he was, she did not
mean to be unhappy about him.
While settling this point, she was suddenly roused by the sound of the
door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its
being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in
the evening, and might now come to inquire particularly after her.
But this idea was soon banished, and her spirits were very differently
affected, when, to her utter amazement, she saw Mr. Darcy walk into the
room. In an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her
health, imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better.
She answered him with cold civility. He sat down for a few moments, and
then getting up, walked about the room. Elizabeth was surprised, but
said not a word. After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her
in an agitated manner, and thus began:
"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be
repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love
you."
Elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured,
doubted, and was silent. This he considered sufficient encouragement;
and the avowal of all that he felt, and had long felt for her,
immediately followed. He spoke well; but there were feelings besides
those of the heart to be detailed; and he was not more eloquent on the
subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority--of
its being a degradation--of the family obstacles which had always
opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to
the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his
suit.
In spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to
the compliment of such a man's affection, and though her intentions did
not vary for an instant, she was at first sorry for the pain he was to
receive; till, roused to resentment by his subsequent language, she
lost all compassion in anger. She tried, however, to compose herself to
answer him with patience, when he should have done. He concluded with
representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite
of all his endeavours, he had found impossible to conquer; and with
expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of
his hand. As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt
of a favourable answer. He _spoke_ of apprehension and anxiety, but
his countenance expressed real security. Such a circumstance could
only exasperate farther, and, when he ceased, the colour rose into her
cheeks, and she said:
"In such cases as this, it is, I believe, the established mode to
express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed, however
unequally they may be returned. It is natural that obligation should
be felt, and if I could _feel_ gratitude, I would now thank you. But I
cannot--I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly
bestowed it most unwillingly. I am sorry to have occasioned pain to
anyone. It has been most unconsciously done, however, and I hope will be
of short duration. The feelings which, you tell me, have long prevented
the acknowledgment of your regard, can have little difficulty in
overcoming it after this explanation."
Mr. Darcy, who was leaning against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed
on her face, seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than
surprise. His complexion became pale with anger, and the disturbance
of his mind was visible in every feature. He was struggling for the
appearance of composure, and would not open his lips till he believed
himself to have attained it. The pause was to Elizabeth's feelings
dreadful. At length, with a voice of forced calmness, he said:
"And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting!
I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little _endeavour_ at
civility, I am thus rejected. But it is of small importance."
"I might as well inquire," replied she, "why with so evident a desire
of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me
against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?
Was not this some excuse for incivility, if I _was_ uncivil? But I have
other provocations. You know I have. Had not my feelings decided against
you--had they been indifferent, or had they even been favourable, do you
think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has
been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most
beloved sister?"
As she pronounced these words, Mr. Darcy changed colour; but the emotion
was short, and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she
continued:
"I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. No motive can
excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted _there_. You dare not,
you cannot deny, that you have been the principal, if not the only means
of dividing them from each other--of exposing one to the censure of the
world for caprice and instability, and the other to its derision for
disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest
kind."
She paused, and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening
with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse.
He even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity.
"Can you deny that you have done it?" she repeated.
With assumed tranquillity he then replied: "I have no wish of denying
that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your
sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards _him_ I have been
kinder than towards myself."
Elizabeth disdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection,
but its meaning did not escape, nor was it likely to conciliate her.
"But it is not merely this affair," she continued, "on which my dislike
is founded. Long before it had taken place my opinion of you was
decided. Your character was unfolded in the recital which I received
many months ago from Mr. Wickham. On this subject, what can you have to
say? In what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself?
or under what misrepresentation can you here impose upon others?"
"You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns," said Darcy,
in a less tranquil tone, and with a heightened colour.
"Who that knows what his misfortunes have been, can help feeling an
interest in him?"
"His misfortunes!" repeated Darcy contemptuously; "yes, his misfortunes
have been great indeed."
"And of your infliction," cried Elizabeth with energy. "You have reduced
him to his present state of poverty--comparative poverty. You have
withheld the advantages which you must know to have been designed for
him. You have deprived the best years of his life of that independence
which was no less his due than his desert. You have done all this!
and yet you can treat the mention of his misfortune with contempt and
ridicule."
"And this," cried Darcy, as he walked with quick steps across the room,
"is your opinion of me! This is the estimation in which you hold me!
I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this
calculation, are heavy indeed! But perhaps," added he, stopping in
his walk, and turning towards her, "these offenses might have been
overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the
scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design. These
bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had I, with greater
policy, concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of
my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination; by reason, by
reflection, by everything. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence.
Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and
just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your
connections?--to congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose
condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"
Elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment; yet she tried to
the utmost to speak with composure when she said:
"You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your
declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern
which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more
gentlemanlike manner."
She saw him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued:
"You could not have made the offer of your hand in any possible way that
would have tempted me to accept it."
Again his astonishment was obvious; and he looked at her with an
expression of mingled incredulity and mortification. She went on:
"From the very beginning--from the first moment, I may almost say--of
my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest
belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of
the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of
disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a
dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the
last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."
"You have said quite enough, madam. I perfectly comprehend your
feelings, and have now only to be ashamed of what my own have been.
Forgive me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept my best
wishes for your health and happiness."
And with these words he hastily left the room, and Elizabeth heard him
the next moment open the front door and quit the house.
The tumult of her mind, was now painfully great. She knew not how
to support herself, and from actual weakness sat down and cried for
half-an-hour. Her astonishment, as she reflected on what had passed,
was increased by every review of it. That she should receive an offer of
marriage from Mr. Darcy! That he should have been in love with her for
so many months! So much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of
all the objections which had made him prevent his friend's marrying
her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his
own case--was almost incredible! It was gratifying to have inspired
unconsciously so strong an affection. But his pride, his abominable
pride--his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to
Jane--his unpardonable assurance in acknowledging, though he could
not justify it, and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned Mr.
Wickham, his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon
overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for
a moment excited. She continued in very agitated reflections till the
sound of Lady Catherine's carriage made her feel how unequal she was to
encounter Charlotte's observation, and hurried her away to her room.
Chapter 35
Elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations
which had at length closed her eyes. She could not yet recover from the
surprise of what had happened; it was impossible to think of anything
else; and, totally indisposed for employment, she resolved, soon after
breakfast, to indulge herself in air and exercise. She was proceeding
directly to her favourite walk, when the recollection of Mr. Darcy's
sometimes coming there stopped her, and instead of entering the park,
she turned up the lane, which led farther from the turnpike-road. The
park paling was still the boundary on one side, and she soon passed one
of the gates into the ground.
After walking two or three times along that part of the lane, she was
tempted, by the pleasantness of the morning, to stop at the gates and
look into the park. The five weeks which she had now passed in Kent had
made a great difference in the country, and every day was adding to the
verdure of the early trees. She was on the point of continuing her walk,
when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which
edged the park; he was moving that way; and, fearful of its being Mr.
Darcy, she was directly retreating. But the person who advanced was now
near enough to see her, and stepping forward with eagerness, pronounced
her name. She had turned away; but on hearing herself called, though
in a voice which proved it to be Mr. Darcy, she moved again towards the
gate. He had by that time reached it also, and, holding out a letter,
which she instinctively took, said, with a look of haughty composure,
"I have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you.
Will you do me the honour of reading that letter?" And then, with a
slight bow, turned again into the plantation, and was soon out of sight.
With no expectation of pleasure, but with the strongest curiosity,
Elizabeth opened the letter, and, to her still increasing wonder,
perceived an envelope containing two sheets of letter-paper, written
quite through, in a very close hand. The envelope itself was likewise
full. Pursuing her way along the lane, she then began it. It was dated
from Rosings, at eight o'clock in the morning, and was as follows:--
"Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension
of its containing any repetition of those sentiments or renewal of those
offers which were last night so disgusting to you. I write without any
intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes
which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon forgotten; and the
effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion,
should have been spared, had not my character required it to be written
and read. You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I demand
your attention; your feelings, I know, will bestow it unwillingly, but I
demand it of your justice.
"Two offenses of a very different nature, and by no means of equal
magnitude, you last night laid to my charge. The first mentioned was,
that, regardless of the sentiments of either, I had detached Mr. Bingley
from your sister, and the other, that I had, in defiance of various
claims, in defiance of honour and humanity, ruined the immediate
prosperity and blasted the prospects of Mr. Wickham. Wilfully and
wantonly to have thrown off the companion of my youth, the acknowledged
favourite of my father, a young man who had scarcely any other
dependence than on our patronage, and who had been brought up to expect
its exertion, would be a depravity, to which the separation of two young
persons, whose affection could be the growth of only a few weeks, could
bear no comparison. But from the severity of that blame which was last
night so liberally bestowed, respecting each circumstance, I shall hope
to be in the future secured, when the following account of my actions
and their motives has been read. If, in the explanation of them, which
is due to myself, I am under the necessity of relating feelings which
may be offensive to yours, I can only say that I am sorry. The necessity
must be obeyed, and further apology would be absurd.
"I had not been long in Hertfordshire, before I saw, in common with
others, that Bingley preferred your elder sister to any other young
woman in the country. But it was not till the evening of the dance
at Netherfield that I had any apprehension of his feeling a serious
attachment. I had often seen him in love before. At that ball, while I
had the honour of dancing with you, I was first made acquainted, by Sir
William Lucas's accidental information, that Bingley's attentions to
your sister had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage.
He spoke of it as a certain event, of which the time alone could
be undecided. From that moment I observed my friend's behaviour
attentively; and I could then perceive that his partiality for Miss
Bennet was beyond what I had ever witnessed in him. Your sister I also
watched. Her look and manners were open, cheerful, and engaging as ever,
but without any symptom of peculiar regard, and I remained convinced
from the evening's scrutiny, that though she received his attentions
with pleasure, she did not invite them by any participation of
sentiment. If _you_ have not been mistaken here, _I_ must have been
in error. Your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter
probable. If it be so, if I have been misled by such error to inflict
pain on her, your resentment has not been unreasonable. But I shall not
scruple to assert, that the serenity of your sister's countenance and
air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction
that, however amiable her temper, her heart was not likely to be
easily touched. That I was desirous of believing her indifferent is
certain--but I will venture to say that my investigation and decisions
are not usually influenced by my hopes or fears. I did not believe
her to be indifferent because I wished it; I believed it on impartial
conviction, as truly as I wished it in reason. My objections to the
marriage were not merely those which I last night acknowledged to have
the utmost force of passion to put aside, in my own case; the want of
connection could not be so great an evil to my friend as to me. But
there were other causes of repugnance; causes which, though still
existing, and existing to an equal degree in both instances, I had
myself endeavoured to forget, because they were not immediately before
me. These causes must be stated, though briefly. The situation of your
mother's family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison to that
total want of propriety so frequently, so almost uniformly betrayed by
herself, by your three younger sisters, and occasionally even by your
father. Pardon me. It pains me to offend you. But amidst your concern
for the defects of your nearest relations, and your displeasure at this
representation of them, let it give you consolation to consider that, to
have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure,
is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your elder sister, than
it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both. I will only say
farther that from what passed that evening, my opinion of all parties
was confirmed, and every inducement heightened which could have led
me before, to preserve my friend from what I esteemed a most unhappy
connection. He left Netherfield for London, on the day following, as
you, I am certain, remember, with the design of soon returning.
"The part which I acted is now to be explained. His sisters' uneasiness
had been equally excited with my own; our coincidence of feeling was
soon discovered, and, alike sensible that no time was to be lost in
detaching their brother, we shortly resolved on joining him directly in
London. We accordingly went--and there I readily engaged in the office
of pointing out to my friend the certain evils of such a choice. I
described, and enforced them earnestly. But, however this remonstrance
might have staggered or delayed his determination, I do not suppose
that it would ultimately have prevented the marriage, had it not been
seconded by the assurance that I hesitated not in giving, of your
sister's indifference. He had before believed her to return his
affection with sincere, if not with equal regard. But Bingley has great
natural modesty, with a stronger dependence on my judgement than on his
own. To convince him, therefore, that he had deceived himself, was
no very difficult point. To persuade him against returning into
Hertfordshire, when that conviction had been given, was scarcely the
work of a moment. I cannot blame myself for having done thus much. There
is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which I do not
reflect with satisfaction; it is that I condescended to adopt the
measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sister's being in
town. I knew it myself, as it was known to Miss Bingley; but her
brother is even yet ignorant of it. That they might have met without
ill consequence is perhaps probable; but his regard did not appear to me
enough extinguished for him to see her without some danger. Perhaps this
concealment, this disguise was beneath me; it is done, however, and it
was done for the best. On this subject I have nothing more to say, no
other apology to offer. If I have wounded your sister's feelings, it
was unknowingly done and though the motives which governed me may to
you very naturally appear insufficient, I have not yet learnt to condemn
them.
"With respect to that other, more weighty accusation, of having injured
Mr. Wickham, I can only refute it by laying before you the whole of his
connection with my family. Of what he has _particularly_ accused me I
am ignorant; but of the truth of what I shall relate, I can summon more
than one witness of undoubted veracity.
"Mr. Wickham is the son of a very respectable man, who had for many
years the management of all the Pemberley estates, and whose good
conduct in the discharge of his trust naturally inclined my father to
be of service to him; and on George Wickham, who was his godson, his
kindness was therefore liberally bestowed. My father supported him at
school, and afterwards at Cambridge--most important assistance, as his
own father, always poor from the extravagance of his wife, would have
been unable to give him a gentleman's education. My father was not only
fond of this young man's society, whose manners were always engaging; he
had also the highest opinion of him, and hoping the church would be
his profession, intended to provide for him in it. As for myself, it is
many, many years since I first began to think of him in a very different
manner. The vicious propensities--the want of principle, which he was
careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend, could not escape
the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself,
and who had opportunities of seeing him in unguarded moments, which Mr.
Darcy could not have. Here again I shall give you pain--to what degree
you only can tell. But whatever may be the sentiments which Mr. Wickham
has created, a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from
unfolding his real character--it adds even another motive.
"My excellent father died about five years ago; and his attachment to
Mr. Wickham was to the last so steady, that in his will he particularly
recommended it to me, to promote his advancement in the best manner
that his profession might allow--and if he took orders, desired that a
valuable family living might be his as soon as it became vacant. There
was also a legacy of one thousand pounds. His own father did not long
survive mine, and within half a year from these events, Mr. Wickham
wrote to inform me that, having finally resolved against taking orders,
he hoped I should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more
immediate pecuniary advantage, in lieu of the preferment, by which he
could not be benefited. He had some intention, he added, of studying
law, and I must be aware that the interest of one thousand pounds would
be a very insufficient support therein. I rather wished, than believed
him to be sincere; but, at any rate, was perfectly ready to accede to
his proposal. I knew that Mr. Wickham ought not to be a clergyman; the
business was therefore soon settled--he resigned all claim to assistance
in the church, were it possible that he could ever be in a situation to
receive it, and accepted in return three thousand pounds. All connection
between us seemed now dissolved. I thought too ill of him to invite him
to Pemberley, or admit his society in town. In town I believe he chiefly
lived, but his studying the law was a mere pretence, and being now free
from all restraint, his life was a life of idleness and dissipation.
For about three years I heard little of him; but on the decease of the
incumbent of the living which had been designed for him, he applied to
me again by letter for the presentation. His circumstances, he assured
me, and I had no difficulty in believing it, were exceedingly bad. He
had found the law a most unprofitable study, and was now absolutely
resolved on being ordained, if I would present him to the living in
question--of which he trusted there could be little doubt, as he was
well assured that I had no other person to provide for, and I could not
have forgotten my revered father's intentions. You will hardly blame
me for refusing to comply with this entreaty, or for resisting every
repetition to it. His resentment was in proportion to the distress of
his circumstances--and he was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me
to others as in his reproaches to myself. After this period every
appearance of acquaintance was dropped. How he lived I know not. But
last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice.
"I must now mention a circumstance which I would wish to forget myself,
and which no obligation less than the present should induce me to unfold
to any human being. Having said thus much, I feel no doubt of your
secrecy. My sister, who is more than ten years my junior, was left to
the guardianship of my mother's nephew, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and myself.
About a year ago, she was taken from school, and an establishment formed
for her in London; and last summer she went with the lady who presided
over it, to Ramsgate; and thither also went Mr. Wickham, undoubtedly by
design; for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him
and Mrs. Younge, in whose character we were most unhappily deceived; and
by her connivance and aid, he so far recommended himself to Georgiana,
whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to
her as a child, that she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and
to consent to an elopement. She was then but fifteen, which must be her
excuse; and after stating her imprudence, I am happy to add, that I owed
the knowledge of it to herself. I joined them unexpectedly a day or two
before the intended elopement, and then Georgiana, unable to support the
idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as
a father, acknowledged the whole to me. You may imagine what I felt and
how I acted. Regard for my sister's credit and feelings prevented
any public exposure; but I wrote to Mr. Wickham, who left the place
immediately, and Mrs. Younge was of course removed from her charge. Mr.
Wickham's chief object was unquestionably my sister's fortune, which
is thirty thousand pounds; but I cannot help supposing that the hope of
revenging himself on me was a strong inducement. His revenge would have
been complete indeed.
"This, madam, is a faithful narrative of every event in which we have
been concerned together; and if you do not absolutely reject it as
false, you will, I hope, acquit me henceforth of cruelty towards Mr.
Wickham. I know not in what manner, under what form of falsehood he
had imposed on you; but his success is not perhaps to be wondered
at. Ignorant as you previously were of everything concerning either,
detection could not be in your power, and suspicion certainly not in
your inclination.
"You may possibly wonder why all this was not told you last night; but
I was not then master enough of myself to know what could or ought to
be revealed. For the truth of everything here related, I can appeal more
particularly to the testimony of Colonel Fitzwilliam, who, from our
near relationship and constant intimacy, and, still more, as one of
the executors of my father's will, has been unavoidably acquainted
with every particular of these transactions. If your abhorrence of _me_
should make _my_ assertions valueless, you cannot be prevented by
the same cause from confiding in my cousin; and that there may be
the possibility of consulting him, I shall endeavour to find some
opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the
morning. I will only add, God bless you.
"FITZWILLIAM DARCY"
Chapter 36
If Elizabeth, when Mr. Darcy gave her the letter, did not expect it to
contain a renewal of his offers, she had formed no expectation at all of
its contents. But such as they were, it may well be supposed how eagerly
she went through them, and what a contrariety of emotion they excited.
Her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined. With amazement did
she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power;
and steadfastly was she persuaded, that he could have no explanation
to give, which a just sense of shame would not conceal. With a strong
prejudice against everything he might say, she began his account of what
had happened at Netherfield. She read with an eagerness which hardly
left her power of comprehension, and from impatience of knowing what the
next sentence might bring, was incapable of attending to the sense of
the one before her eyes. His belief of her sister's insensibility she
instantly resolved to be false; and his account of the real, the worst
objections to the match, made her too angry to have any wish of doing
him justice. He expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied
her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride and
insolence.
But when this subject was succeeded by his account of Mr. Wickham--when
she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which,
if true, must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth, and which
bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himself--her
feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition.
Astonishment, apprehension, and even horror, oppressed her. She wished
to discredit it entirely, repeatedly exclaiming, "This must be false!
This cannot be! This must be the grossest falsehood!"--and when she had
gone through the whole letter, though scarcely knowing anything of the
last page or two, put it hastily away, protesting that she would not
regard it, that she would never look in it again.
In this perturbed state of mind, with thoughts that could rest on
nothing, she walked on; but it would not do; in half a minute the letter
was unfolded again, and collecting herself as well as she could, she
again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to Wickham, and
commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence.
The account of his connection with the Pemberley family was exactly what
he had related himself; and the kindness of the late Mr. Darcy, though
she had not before known its extent, agreed equally well with his own
words. So far each recital confirmed the other; but when she came to the
will, the difference was great. What Wickham had said of the living
was fresh in her memory, and as she recalled his very words, it was
impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the
other; and, for a few moments, she flattered herself that her wishes did
not err. But when she read and re-read with the closest attention, the
particulars immediately following of Wickham's resigning all pretensions
to the living, of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three
thousand pounds, again was she forced to hesitate. She put down
the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be
impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with
little success. On both sides it was only assertion. Again she read
on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had
believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to
render Mr. Darcy's conduct in it less than infamous, was capable of a
turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.
The extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at
Mr. Wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her; the more so, as she could
bring no proof of its injustice. She had never heard of him before his
entrance into the ----shire Militia, in which he had engaged at the
persuasion of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally in town,
had there renewed a slight acquaintance. Of his former way of life
nothing had been known in Hertfordshire but what he told himself. As
to his real character, had information been in her power, she had
never felt a wish of inquiring. His countenance, voice, and manner had
established him at once in the possession of every virtue. She tried
to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of
integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of
Mr. Darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those
casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what Mr. Darcy
had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance. But
no such recollection befriended her. She could see him instantly before
her, in every charm of air and address; but she could remember no more
substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood, and
the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess. After
pausing on this point a considerable while, she once more continued to
read. But, alas! the story which followed, of his designs on Miss
Darcy, received some confirmation from what had passed between Colonel
Fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before; and at last she was
referred for the truth of every particular to Colonel Fitzwilliam
himself--from whom she had previously received the information of his
near concern in all his cousin's affairs, and whose character she had no
reason to question. At one time she had almost resolved on applying to
him, but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application, and
at length wholly banished by the conviction that Mr. Darcy would never
have hazarded such a proposal, if he had not been well assured of his
cousin's corroboration.
She perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation
between Wickham and herself, in their first evening at Mr. Phillips's.
Many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory. She was _now_
struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger, and
wondered it had escaped her before. She saw the indelicacy of putting
himself forward as he had done, and the inconsistency of his professions
with his conduct. She remembered that he had boasted of having no fear
of seeing Mr. Darcy--that Mr. Darcy might leave the country, but that
_he_ should stand his ground; yet he had avoided the Netherfield ball
the very next week. She remembered also that, till the Netherfield
family had quitted the country, he had told his story to no one but
herself; but that after their removal it had been everywhere discussed;
that he had then no reserves, no scruples in sinking Mr. Darcy's
character, though he had assured her that respect for the father would
always prevent his exposing the son.
How differently did everything now appear in which he was concerned!
His attentions to Miss King were now the consequence of views solely and
hatefully mercenary; and the mediocrity of her fortune proved no longer
the moderation of his wishes, but his eagerness to grasp at anything.
His behaviour to herself could now have had no tolerable motive; he had
either been deceived with regard to her fortune, or had been gratifying
his vanity by encouraging the preference which she believed she had most
incautiously shown. Every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter
and fainter; and in farther justification of Mr. Darcy, she could not
but allow that Mr. Bingley, when questioned by Jane, had long ago
asserted his blamelessness in the affair; that proud and repulsive as
were his manners, she had never, in the whole course of their
acquaintance--an acquaintance which had latterly brought them much
together, and given her a sort of intimacy with his ways--seen anything
that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjust--anything that spoke him
of irreligious or immoral habits; that among his own connections he was
esteemed and valued--that even Wickham had allowed him merit as a
brother, and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his
sister as to prove him capable of _some_ amiable feeling; that had his
actions been what Mr. Wickham represented them, so gross a violation of
everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world; and
that friendship between a person capable of it, and such an amiable man
as Mr. Bingley, was incomprehensible.
She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. Of neither Darcy nor Wickham
could she think without feeling she had been blind, partial, prejudiced,
absurd.
"How despicably I have acted!" she cried; "I, who have prided myself
on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have
often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified
my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! How humiliating is this
discovery! Yet, how just a humiliation! Had I been in love, I could
not have been more wretchedly blind! But vanity, not love, has been my
folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect
of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted
prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were
concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself."
From herself to Jane--from Jane to Bingley, her thoughts were in a line
which soon brought to her recollection that Mr. Darcy's explanation
_there_ had appeared very insufficient, and she read it again. Widely
different was the effect of a second perusal. How could she deny that
credit to his assertions in one instance, which she had been obliged to
give in the other? He declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her
sister's attachment; and she could not help remembering what Charlotte's
opinion had always been. Neither could she deny the justice of his
description of Jane. She felt that Jane's feelings, though fervent, were
little displayed, and that there was a constant complacency in her air
and manner not often united with great sensibility.
When she came to that part of the letter in which her family were
mentioned in terms of such mortifying, yet merited reproach, her sense
of shame was severe. The justice of the charge struck her too forcibly
for denial, and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as
having passed at the Netherfield ball, and as confirming all his first
disapprobation, could not have made a stronger impression on his mind
than on hers.
The compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt. It soothed,
but it could not console her for the contempt which had thus been
self-attracted by the rest of her family; and as she considered
that Jane's disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest
relations, and reflected how materially the credit of both must be hurt
by such impropriety of conduct, she felt depressed beyond anything she
had ever known before.
After wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every
variety of thought--re-considering events, determining probabilities,
and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a change so sudden and
so important, fatigue, and a recollection of her long absence, made
her at length return home; and she entered the house with the wish
of appearing cheerful as usual, and the resolution of repressing such
reflections as must make her unfit for conversation.
She was immediately told that the two gentlemen from Rosings had each
called during her absence; Mr. Darcy, only for a few minutes, to take
leave--but that Colonel Fitzwilliam had been sitting with them at least
an hour, hoping for her return, and almost resolving to walk after her
till she could be found. Elizabeth could but just _affect_ concern
in missing him; she really rejoiced at it. Colonel Fitzwilliam was no
longer an object; she could think only of her letter.
Chapter 37
The two gentlemen left Rosings the next morning, and Mr. Collins having
been in waiting near the lodges, to make them his parting obeisance, was
able to bring home the pleasing intelligence, of their appearing in very
good health, and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected, after the
melancholy scene so lately gone through at Rosings. To Rosings he then
hastened, to console Lady Catherine and her daughter; and on his return
brought back, with great satisfaction, a message from her ladyship,
importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of
having them all to dine with her.
Elizabeth could not see Lady Catherine without recollecting that, had
she chosen it, she might by this time have been presented to her as
her future niece; nor could she think, without a smile, of what her
ladyship's indignation would have been. "What would she have said? how
would she have behaved?" were questions with which she amused herself.
Their first subject was the diminution of the Rosings party. "I assure
you, I feel it exceedingly," said Lady Catherine; "I believe no one
feels the loss of friends so much as I do. But I am particularly
attached to these young men, and know them to be so much attached to
me! They were excessively sorry to go! But so they always are. The
dear Colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last; but Darcy
seemed to feel it most acutely, more, I think, than last year. His
attachment to Rosings certainly increases."
Mr. Collins had a compliment, and an allusion to throw in here, which
were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter.
Lady Catherine observed, after dinner, that Miss Bennet seemed out of
spirits, and immediately accounting for it by herself, by supposing that
she did not like to go home again so soon, she added:
"But if that is the case, you must write to your mother and beg that
you may stay a little longer. Mrs. Collins will be very glad of your
company, I am sure."
"I am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation," replied
Elizabeth, "but it is not in my power to accept it. I must be in town
next Saturday."
"Why, at that rate, you will have been here only six weeks. I expected
you to stay two months. I told Mrs. Collins so before you came. There
can be no occasion for your going so soon. Mrs. Bennet could certainly
spare you for another fortnight."
"But my father cannot. He wrote last week to hurry my return."
"Oh! your father of course may spare you, if your mother can. Daughters
are never of so much consequence to a father. And if you will stay
another _month_ complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as
far as London, for I am going there early in June, for a week; and as
Dawson does not object to the barouche-box, there will be very good room
for one of you--and indeed, if the weather should happen to be cool, I
should not object to taking you both, as you are neither of you large."
"You are all kindness, madam; but I believe we must abide by our
original plan."
Lady Catherine seemed resigned. "Mrs. Collins, you must send a servant
with them. You know I always speak my mind, and I cannot bear the idea
of two young women travelling post by themselves. It is highly improper.
You must contrive to send somebody. I have the greatest dislike in
the world to that sort of thing. Young women should always be properly
guarded and attended, according to their situation in life. When my
niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer, I made a point of her
having two men-servants go with her. Miss Darcy, the daughter of
Mr. Darcy, of Pemberley, and Lady Anne, could not have appeared with
propriety in a different manner. I am excessively attentive to all those
things. You must send John with the young ladies, Mrs. Collins. I
am glad it occurred to me to mention it; for it would really be
discreditable to _you_ to let them go alone."
"My uncle is to send a servant for us."
"Oh! Your uncle! He keeps a man-servant, does he? I am very glad you
have somebody who thinks of these things. Where shall you change horses?
Oh! Bromley, of course. If you mention my name at the Bell, you will be
attended to."
Lady Catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey,
and as she did not answer them all herself, attention was necessary,
which Elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a mind so
occupied, she might have forgotten where she was. Reflection must be
reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it
as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary
walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant
recollections.
Mr. Darcy's letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. She
studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at
times widely different. When she remembered the style of his address,
she was still full of indignation; but when she considered how unjustly
she had condemned and upbraided him, her anger was turned against
herself; and his disappointed feelings became the object of compassion.
His attachment excited gratitude, his general character respect; but she
could not approve him; nor could she for a moment repent her refusal,
or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again. In her own past
behaviour, there was a constant source of vexation and regret; and in
the unhappy defects of her family, a subject of yet heavier chagrin.
They were hopeless of remedy. Her father, contented with laughing at
them, would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his
youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right
herself, was entirely insensible of the evil. Elizabeth had frequently
united with Jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of Catherine
and Lydia; but while they were supported by their mother's indulgence,
what chance could there be of improvement? Catherine, weak-spirited,
irritable, and completely under Lydia's guidance, had been always
affronted by their advice; and Lydia, self-willed and careless, would
scarcely give them a hearing. They were ignorant, idle, and vain. While
there was an officer in Meryton, they would flirt with him; and while
Meryton was within a walk of Longbourn, they would be going there
forever.
Anxiety on Jane's behalf was another prevailing concern; and Mr. Darcy's
explanation, by restoring Bingley to all her former good opinion,
heightened the sense of what Jane had lost. His affection was proved
to have been sincere, and his conduct cleared of all blame, unless any
could attach to the implicitness of his confidence in his friend. How
grievous then was the thought that, of a situation so desirable in every
respect, so replete with advantage, so promising for happiness, Jane had
been deprived, by the folly and indecorum of her own family!
When to these recollections was added the development of Wickham's
character, it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had
seldom been depressed before, were now so much affected as to make it
almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful.
Their engagements at Rosings were as frequent during the last week of
her stay as they had been at first. The very last evening was spent
there; and her ladyship again inquired minutely into the particulars of
their journey, gave them directions as to the best method of packing,
and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right
way, that Maria thought herself obliged, on her return, to undo all the
work of the morning, and pack her trunk afresh.
When they parted, Lady Catherine, with great condescension, wished them
a good journey, and invited them to come to Hunsford again next year;
and Miss de Bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her
hand to both.
Chapter 38
On Saturday morning Elizabeth and Mr. Collins met for breakfast a few
minutes before the others appeared; and he took the opportunity of
paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably necessary.
"I know not, Miss Elizabeth," said he, "whether Mrs. Collins has yet
expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us; but I am very
certain you will not leave the house without receiving her thanks for
it. The favour of your company has been much felt, I assure you. We
know how little there is to tempt anyone to our humble abode. Our plain
manner of living, our small rooms and few domestics, and the little we
see of the world, must make Hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like
yourself; but I hope you will believe us grateful for the condescension,
and that we have done everything in our power to prevent your spending
your time unpleasantly."
Elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness. She
had spent six weeks with great enjoyment; and the pleasure of being with
Charlotte, and the kind attentions she had received, must make _her_
feel the obliged. Mr. Collins was gratified, and with a more smiling
solemnity replied:
"It gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not
disagreeably. We have certainly done our best; and most fortunately
having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society, and,
from our connection with Rosings, the frequent means of varying the
humble home scene, I think we may flatter ourselves that your Hunsford
visit cannot have been entirely irksome. Our situation with regard to
Lady Catherine's family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage
and blessing which few can boast. You see on what a footing we are. You
see how continually we are engaged there. In truth I must acknowledge
that, with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage, I should
not think anyone abiding in it an object of compassion, while they are
sharers of our intimacy at Rosings."
Words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings; and he was
obliged to walk about the room, while Elizabeth tried to unite civility
and truth in a few short sentences.
"You may, in fact, carry a very favourable report of us into
Hertfordshire, my dear cousin. I flatter myself at least that you will
be able to do so. Lady Catherine's great attentions to Mrs. Collins you
have been a daily witness of; and altogether I trust it does not appear
that your friend has drawn an unfortunate--but on this point it will be
as well to be silent. Only let me assure you, my dear Miss Elizabeth,
that I can from my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in
marriage. My dear Charlotte and I have but one mind and one way of
thinking. There is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of
character and ideas between us. We seem to have been designed for each
other."
Elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was
the case, and with equal sincerity could add, that she firmly believed
and rejoiced in his domestic comforts. She was not sorry, however, to
have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang.
Poor Charlotte! it was melancholy to leave her to such society! But she
had chosen it with her eyes open; and though evidently regretting that
her visitors were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion. Her
home and her housekeeping, her parish and her poultry, and all their
dependent concerns, had not yet lost their charms.
At length the chaise arrived, the trunks were fastened on, the parcels
placed within, and it was pronounced to be ready. After an affectionate
parting between the friends, Elizabeth was attended to the carriage by
Mr. Collins, and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her
with his best respects to all her family, not forgetting his thanks
for the kindness he had received at Longbourn in the winter, and his
compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, though unknown. He then handed her
in, Maria followed, and the door was on the point of being closed,
when he suddenly reminded them, with some consternation, that they had
hitherto forgotten to leave any message for the ladies at Rosings.
"But," he added, "you will of course wish to have your humble respects
delivered to them, with your grateful thanks for their kindness to you
while you have been here."
Elizabeth made no objection; the door was then allowed to be shut, and
the carriage drove off.
"Good gracious!" cried Maria, after a few minutes' silence, "it seems
but a day or two since we first came! and yet how many things have
happened!"
"A great many indeed," said her companion with a sigh.
"We have dined nine times at Rosings, besides drinking tea there twice!
How much I shall have to tell!"
Elizabeth added privately, "And how much I shall have to conceal!"
Their journey was performed without much conversation, or any alarm; and
within four hours of their leaving Hunsford they reached Mr. Gardiner's
house, where they were to remain a few days.
Jane looked well, and Elizabeth had little opportunity of studying her
spirits, amidst the various engagements which the kindness of her
aunt had reserved for them. But Jane was to go home with her, and at
Longbourn there would be leisure enough for observation.
It was not without an effort, meanwhile, that she could wait even for
Longbourn, before she told her sister of Mr. Darcy's proposals. To know
that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish
Jane, and must, at the same time, so highly gratify whatever of her own
vanity she had not yet been able to reason away, was such a temptation
to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision
in which she remained as to the extent of what she should communicate;
and her fear, if she once entered on the subject, of being hurried
into repeating something of Bingley which might only grieve her sister
further.
Chapter 39
It was the second week in May, in which the three young ladies set out
together from Gracechurch Street for the town of ----, in Hertfordshire;
and, as they drew near the appointed inn where Mr. Bennet's carriage
was to meet them, they quickly perceived, in token of the coachman's
punctuality, both Kitty and Lydia looking out of a dining-room up stairs.
These two girls had been above an hour in the place, happily employed
in visiting an opposite milliner, watching the sentinel on guard, and
dressing a salad and cucumber.
After welcoming their sisters, they triumphantly displayed a table set
out with such cold meat as an inn larder usually affords, exclaiming,
"Is not this nice? Is not this an agreeable surprise?"
"And we mean to treat you all," added Lydia, "but you must lend us the
money, for we have just spent ours at the shop out there." Then, showing
her purchases--"Look here, I have bought this bonnet. I do not think
it is very pretty; but I thought I might as well buy it as not. I shall
pull it to pieces as soon as I get home, and see if I can make it up any
better."
And when her sisters abused it as ugly, she added, with perfect
unconcern, "Oh! but there were two or three much uglier in the shop; and
when I have bought some prettier-coloured satin to trim it with fresh, I
think it will be very tolerable. Besides, it will not much signify what
one wears this summer, after the ----shire have left Meryton, and they
are going in a fortnight."
"Are they indeed!" cried Elizabeth, with the greatest satisfaction.
"They are going to be encamped near Brighton; and I do so want papa to
take us all there for the summer! It would be such a delicious scheme;
and I dare say would hardly cost anything at all. Mamma would like to
go too of all things! Only think what a miserable summer else we shall
have!"
"Yes," thought Elizabeth, "_that_ would be a delightful scheme indeed,
and completely do for us at once. Good Heaven! Brighton, and a whole
campful of soldiers, to us, who have been overset already by one poor
regiment of militia, and the monthly balls of Meryton!"
"Now I have got some news for you," said Lydia, as they sat down at
table. "What do you think? It is excellent news--capital news--and about
a certain person we all like!"
Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and the waiter was told he need
not stay. Lydia laughed, and said:
"Aye, that is just like your formality and discretion. You thought the
waiter must not hear, as if he cared! I dare say he often hears worse
things said than I am going to say. But he is an ugly fellow! I am glad
he is gone. I never saw such a long chin in my life. Well, but now for
my news; it is about dear Wickham; too good for the waiter, is it not?
There is no danger of Wickham's marrying Mary King. There's for you! She
is gone down to her uncle at Liverpool: gone to stay. Wickham is safe."
"And Mary King is safe!" added Elizabeth; "safe from a connection
imprudent as to fortune."
"She is a great fool for going away, if she liked him."
"But I hope there is no strong attachment on either side," said Jane.
"I am sure there is not on _his_. I will answer for it, he never cared
three straws about her--who could about such a nasty little freckled
thing?"
Elizabeth was shocked to think that, however incapable of such
coarseness of _expression_ herself, the coarseness of the _sentiment_
was little other than her own breast had harboured and fancied liberal!
As soon as all had ate, and the elder ones paid, the carriage was
ordered; and after some contrivance, the whole party, with all their
boxes, work-bags, and parcels, and the unwelcome addition of Kitty's and
Lydia's purchases, were seated in it.
"How nicely we are all crammed in," cried Lydia. "I am glad I bought my
bonnet, if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox! Well, now
let us be quite comfortable and snug, and talk and laugh all the way
home. And in the first place, let us hear what has happened to you all
since you went away. Have you seen any pleasant men? Have you had any
flirting? I was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband
before you came back. Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare.
She is almost three-and-twenty! Lord, how ashamed I should be of not
being married before three-and-twenty! My aunt Phillips wants you so to
get husbands, you can't think. She says Lizzy had better have taken Mr.
Collins; but _I_ do not think there would have been any fun in it. Lord!
how I should like to be married before any of you; and then I would
chaperon you about to all the balls. Dear me! we had such a good piece
of fun the other day at Colonel Forster's. Kitty and me were to spend
the day there, and Mrs. Forster promised to have a little dance in the
evening; (by the bye, Mrs. Forster and me are _such_ friends!) and so
she asked the two Harringtons to come, but Harriet was ill, and so Pen
was forced to come by herself; and then, what do you think we did? We
dressed up Chamberlayne in woman's clothes on purpose to pass for a
lady, only think what fun! Not a soul knew of it, but Colonel and Mrs.
Forster, and Kitty and me, except my aunt, for we were forced to borrow
one of her gowns; and you cannot imagine how well he looked! When Denny,
and Wickham, and Pratt, and two or three more of the men came in, they
did not know him in the least. Lord! how I laughed! and so did Mrs.
Forster. I thought I should have died. And _that_ made the men suspect
something, and then they soon found out what was the matter."
With such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes, did
Lydia, assisted by Kitty's hints and additions, endeavour to amuse her
companions all the way to Longbourn. Elizabeth listened as little as she
could, but there was no escaping the frequent mention of Wickham's name.
Their reception at home was most kind. Mrs. Bennet rejoiced to see Jane
in undiminished beauty; and more than once during dinner did Mr. Bennet
say voluntarily to Elizabeth:
"I am glad you are come back, Lizzy."
Their party in the dining-room was large, for almost all the Lucases
came to meet Maria and hear the news; and various were the subjects that
occupied them: Lady Lucas was inquiring of Maria, after the welfare and
poultry of her eldest daughter; Mrs. Bennet was doubly engaged, on one
hand collecting an account of the present fashions from Jane, who sat
some way below her, and, on the other, retailing them all to the younger
Lucases; and Lydia, in a voice rather louder than any other person's,
was enumerating the various pleasures of the morning to anybody who
would hear her.
"Oh! Mary," said she, "I wish you had gone with us, for we had such fun!
As we went along, Kitty and I drew up the blinds, and pretended there
was nobody in the coach; and I should have gone so all the way, if Kitty
had not been sick; and when we got to the George, I do think we behaved
very handsomely, for we treated the other three with the nicest cold
luncheon in the world, and if you would have gone, we would have treated
you too. And then when we came away it was such fun! I thought we never
should have got into the coach. I was ready to die of laughter. And then
we were so merry all the way home! we talked and laughed so loud, that
anybody might have heard us ten miles off!"
To this Mary very gravely replied, "Far be it from me, my dear sister,
to depreciate such pleasures! They would doubtless be congenial with the
generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for
_me_--I should infinitely prefer a book."
But of this answer Lydia heard not a word. She seldom listened to
anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to Mary at all.
In the afternoon Lydia was urgent with the rest of the girls to walk
to Meryton, and to see how everybody went on; but Elizabeth steadily
opposed the scheme. It should not be said that the Miss Bennets could
not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers.
There was another reason too for her opposition. She dreaded seeing Mr.
Wickham again, and was resolved to avoid it as long as possible. The
comfort to _her_ of the regiment's approaching removal was indeed beyond
expression. In a fortnight they were to go--and once gone, she hoped
there could be nothing more to plague her on his account.
She had not been many hours at home before she found that the Brighton
scheme, of which Lydia had given them a hint at the inn, was under
frequent discussion between her parents. Elizabeth saw directly that her
father had not the smallest intention of yielding; but his answers were
at the same time so vague and equivocal, that her mother, though often
disheartened, had never yet despaired of succeeding at last.
Chapter 40
Elizabeth's impatience to acquaint Jane with what had happened could
no longer be overcome; and at length, resolving to suppress every
particular in which her sister was concerned, and preparing her to be
surprised, she related to her the next morning the chief of the scene
between Mr. Darcy and herself.
Miss Bennet's astonishment was soon lessened by the strong sisterly
partiality which made any admiration of Elizabeth appear perfectly
natural; and all surprise was shortly lost in other feelings. She was
sorry that Mr. Darcy should have delivered his sentiments in a manner so
little suited to recommend them; but still more was she grieved for the
unhappiness which her sister's refusal must have given him.
"His being so sure of succeeding was wrong," said she, "and certainly
ought not to have appeared; but consider how much it must increase his
disappointment!"
"Indeed," replied Elizabeth, "I am heartily sorry for him; but he has
other feelings, which will probably soon drive away his regard for me.
You do not blame me, however, for refusing him?"
"Blame you! Oh, no."
"But you blame me for having spoken so warmly of Wickham?"
"No--I do not know that you were wrong in saying what you did."
"But you _will_ know it, when I tell you what happened the very next
day."
She then spoke of the letter, repeating the whole of its contents as far
as they concerned George Wickham. What a stroke was this for poor Jane!
who would willingly have gone through the world without believing that
so much wickedness existed in the whole race of mankind, as was here
collected in one individual. Nor was Darcy's vindication, though
grateful to her feelings, capable of consoling her for such discovery.
Most earnestly did she labour to prove the probability of error, and
seek to clear the one without involving the other.
"This will not do," said Elizabeth; "you never will be able to make both
of them good for anything. Take your choice, but you must be satisfied
with only one. There is but such a quantity of merit between them; just
enough to make one good sort of man; and of late it has been shifting
about pretty much. For my part, I am inclined to believe it all Darcy's;
but you shall do as you choose."
It was some time, however, before a smile could be extorted from Jane.
"I do not know when I have been more shocked," said she. "Wickham so
very bad! It is almost past belief. And poor Mr. Darcy! Dear Lizzy, only
consider what he must have suffered. Such a disappointment! and with the
knowledge of your ill opinion, too! and having to relate such a thing
of his sister! It is really too distressing. I am sure you must feel it
so."
"Oh! no, my regret and compassion are all done away by seeing you so
full of both. I know you will do him such ample justice, that I am
growing every moment more unconcerned and indifferent. Your profusion
makes me saving; and if you lament over him much longer, my heart will
be as light as a feather."
"Poor Wickham! there is such an expression of goodness in his
countenance! such an openness and gentleness in his manner!"
"There certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those
two young men. One has got all the goodness, and the other all the
appearance of it."
"I never thought Mr. Darcy so deficient in the _appearance_ of it as you
used to do."
"And yet I meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike
to him, without any reason. It is such a spur to one's genius, such an
opening for wit, to have a dislike of that kind. One may be continually
abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot always be laughing
at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty."
"Lizzy, when you first read that letter, I am sure you could not treat
the matter as you do now."
"Indeed, I could not. I was uncomfortable enough, I may say unhappy. And
with no one to speak to about what I felt, no Jane to comfort me and say
that I had not been so very weak and vain and nonsensical as I knew I
had! Oh! how I wanted you!"
"How unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions
in speaking of Wickham to Mr. Darcy, for now they _do_ appear wholly
undeserved."
"Certainly. But the misfortune of speaking with bitterness is a most
natural consequence of the prejudices I had been encouraging. There
is one point on which I want your advice. I want to be told whether I
ought, or ought not, to make our acquaintances in general understand
Wickham's character."
Miss Bennet paused a little, and then replied, "Surely there can be no
occasion for exposing him so dreadfully. What is your opinion?"
"That it ought not to be attempted. Mr. Darcy has not authorised me
to make his communication public. On the contrary, every particular
relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to
myself; and if I endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his
conduct, who will believe me? The general prejudice against Mr. Darcy
is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people in
Meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light. I am not equal
to it. Wickham will soon be gone; and therefore it will not signify to
anyone here what he really is. Some time hence it will be all found out,
and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before. At
present I will say nothing about it."
"You are quite right. To have his errors made public might ruin him for
ever. He is now, perhaps, sorry for what he has done, and anxious to
re-establish a character. We must not make him desperate."
The tumult of Elizabeth's mind was allayed by this conversation. She had
got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fortnight,
and was certain of a willing listener in Jane, whenever she might wish
to talk again of either. But there was still something lurking behind,
of which prudence forbade the disclosure. She dared not relate the other
half of Mr. Darcy's letter, nor explain to her sister how sincerely she
had been valued by her friend. Here was knowledge in which no one
could partake; and she was sensible that nothing less than a perfect
understanding between the parties could justify her in throwing off
this last encumbrance of mystery. "And then," said she, "if that very
improbable event should ever take place, I shall merely be able to
tell what Bingley may tell in a much more agreeable manner himself. The
liberty of communication cannot be mine till it has lost all its value!"
She was now, on being settled at home, at leisure to observe the real
state of her sister's spirits. Jane was not happy. She still cherished a
very tender affection for Bingley. Having never even fancied herself
in love before, her regard had all the warmth of first attachment,
and, from her age and disposition, greater steadiness than most first
attachments often boast; and so fervently did she value his remembrance,
and prefer him to every other man, that all her good sense, and all her
attention to the feelings of her friends, were requisite to check the
indulgence of those regrets which must have been injurious to her own
health and their tranquillity.
"Well, Lizzy," said Mrs. Bennet one day, "what is your opinion _now_ of
this sad business of Jane's? For my part, I am determined never to speak
of it again to anybody. I told my sister Phillips so the other day. But
I cannot find out that Jane saw anything of him in London. Well, he is
a very undeserving young man--and I do not suppose there's the least
chance in the world of her ever getting him now. There is no talk of
his coming to Netherfield again in the summer; and I have inquired of
everybody, too, who is likely to know."
"I do not believe he will ever live at Netherfield any more."
"Oh well! it is just as he chooses. Nobody wants him to come. Though I
shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill; and if I was her, I
would not have put up with it. Well, my comfort is, I am sure Jane will
die of a broken heart; and then he will be sorry for what he has done."
But as Elizabeth could not receive comfort from any such expectation,
she made no answer.
"Well, Lizzy," continued her mother, soon afterwards, "and so the
Collinses live very comfortable, do they? Well, well, I only hope
it will last. And what sort of table do they keep? Charlotte is an
excellent manager, I dare say. If she is half as sharp as her
mother, she is saving enough. There is nothing extravagant in _their_
housekeeping, I dare say."
"No, nothing at all."
"A great deal of good management, depend upon it. Yes, yes, _they_ will
take care not to outrun their income. _They_ will never be distressed
for money. Well, much good may it do them! And so, I suppose, they often
talk of having Longbourn when your father is dead. They look upon it as
quite their own, I dare say, whenever that happens."
"It was a subject which they could not mention before me."
"No; it would have been strange if they had; but I make no doubt they
often talk of it between themselves. Well, if they can be easy with an
estate that is not lawfully their own, so much the better. I should be
ashamed of having one that was only entailed on me."
Chapter 41
The first week of their return was soon gone. The second began. It was
the last of the regiment's stay in Meryton, and all the young ladies
in the neighbourhood were drooping apace. The dejection was almost
universal. The elder Miss Bennets alone were still able to eat, drink,
and sleep, and pursue the usual course of their employments. Very
frequently were they reproached for this insensibility by Kitty and
Lydia, whose own misery was extreme, and who could not comprehend such
hard-heartedness in any of the family.
"Good Heaven! what is to become of us? What are we to do?" would they
often exclaim in the bitterness of woe. "How can you be smiling so,
Lizzy?"
Their affectionate mother shared all their grief; she remembered what
she had herself endured on a similar occasion, five-and-twenty years
ago.
"I am sure," said she, "I cried for two days together when Colonel
Miller's regiment went away. I thought I should have broken my heart."
"I am sure I shall break _mine_," said Lydia.
"If one could but go to Brighton!" observed Mrs. Bennet.
"Oh, yes!--if one could but go to Brighton! But papa is so
disagreeable."
"A little sea-bathing would set me up forever."
"And my aunt Phillips is sure it would do _me_ a great deal of good,"
added Kitty.
Such were the kind of lamentations resounding perpetually through
Longbourn House. Elizabeth tried to be diverted by them; but all sense
of pleasure was lost in shame. She felt anew the justice of Mr. Darcy's
objections; and never had she been so much disposed to pardon his
interference in the views of his friend.
But the gloom of Lydia's prospect was shortly cleared away; for she
received an invitation from Mrs. Forster, the wife of the colonel of
the regiment, to accompany her to Brighton. This invaluable friend was a
very young woman, and very lately married. A resemblance in good humour
and good spirits had recommended her and Lydia to each other, and out of
their _three_ months' acquaintance they had been intimate _two_.
The rapture of Lydia on this occasion, her adoration of Mrs. Forster,
the delight of Mrs. Bennet, and the mortification of Kitty, are scarcely
to be described. Wholly inattentive to her sister's feelings, Lydia
flew about the house in restless ecstasy, calling for everyone's
congratulations, and laughing and talking with more violence than ever;
whilst the luckless Kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate
in terms as unreasonable as her accent was peevish.
"I cannot see why Mrs. Forster should not ask _me_ as well as Lydia,"
said she, "Though I am _not_ her particular friend. I have just as much
right to be asked as she has, and more too, for I am two years older."
In vain did Elizabeth attempt to make her reasonable, and Jane to make
her resigned. As for Elizabeth herself, this invitation was so far from
exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and Lydia, that she
considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense
for the latter; and detestable as such a step must make her were it
known, she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her
go. She represented to him all the improprieties of Lydia's general
behaviour, the little advantage she could derive from the friendship of
such a woman as Mrs. Forster, and the probability of her being yet more
imprudent with such a companion at Brighton, where the temptations must
be greater than at home. He heard her attentively, and then said:
"Lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public
place or other, and we can never expect her to do it with so
little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present
circumstances."
"If you were aware," said Elizabeth, "of the very great disadvantage to
us all which must arise from the public notice of Lydia's unguarded and
imprudent manner--nay, which has already arisen from it, I am sure you
would judge differently in the affair."
"Already arisen?" repeated Mr. Bennet. "What, has she frightened away
some of your lovers? Poor little Lizzy! But do not be cast down. Such
squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity
are not worth a regret. Come, let me see the list of pitiful fellows who
have been kept aloof by Lydia's folly."
"Indeed you are mistaken. I have no such injuries to resent. It is not
of particular, but of general evils, which I am now complaining. Our
importance, our respectability in the world must be affected by the
wild volatility, the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark
Lydia's character. Excuse me, for I must speak plainly. If you, my dear
father, will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits, and
of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of
her life, she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment. Her character
will be fixed, and she will, at sixteen, be the most determined flirt
that ever made herself or her family ridiculous; a flirt, too, in the
worst and meanest degree of flirtation; without any attraction beyond
youth and a tolerable person; and, from the ignorance and emptiness
of her mind, wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal
contempt which her rage for admiration will excite. In this danger
Kitty also is comprehended. She will follow wherever Lydia leads. Vain,
ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled! Oh! my dear father, can you
suppose it possible that they will not be censured and despised wherever
they are known, and that their sisters will not be often involved in the
disgrace?"
Mr. Bennet saw that her whole heart was in the subject, and
affectionately taking her hand said in reply:
"Do not make yourself uneasy, my love. Wherever you and Jane are known
you must be respected and valued; and you will not appear to less
advantage for having a couple of--or I may say, three--very silly
sisters. We shall have no peace at Longbourn if Lydia does not go to
Brighton. Let her go, then. Colonel Forster is a sensible man, and will
keep her out of any real mischief; and she is luckily too poor to be an
object of prey to anybody. At Brighton she will be of less importance
even as a common flirt than she has been here. The officers will find
women better worth their notice. Let us hope, therefore, that her being
there may teach her her own insignificance. At any rate, she cannot grow
many degrees worse, without authorising us to lock her up for the rest
of her life."
With this answer Elizabeth was forced to be content; but her own opinion
continued the same, and she left him disappointed and sorry. It was not
in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling on
them. She was confident of having performed her duty, and to fret
over unavoidable evils, or augment them by anxiety, was no part of her
disposition.
Had Lydia and her mother known the substance of her conference with her
father, their indignation would hardly have found expression in their
united volubility. In Lydia's imagination, a visit to Brighton comprised
every possibility of earthly happiness. She saw, with the creative eye
of fancy, the streets of that gay bathing-place covered with officers.
She saw herself the object of attention, to tens and to scores of them
at present unknown. She saw all the glories of the camp--its tents
stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines, crowded with the young
and the gay, and dazzling with scarlet; and, to complete the view, she
saw herself seated beneath a tent, tenderly flirting with at least six
officers at once.
Had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such
realities as these, what would have been her sensations? They could have
been understood only by her mother, who might have felt nearly the same.
Lydia's going to Brighton was all that consoled her for her melancholy
conviction of her husband's never intending to go there himself.
But they were entirely ignorant of what had passed; and their raptures
continued, with little intermission, to the very day of Lydia's leaving
home.
Elizabeth was now to see Mr. Wickham for the last time. Having been
frequently in company with him since her return, agitation was pretty
well over; the agitations of former partiality entirely so. She had even
learnt to detect, in the very gentleness which had first delighted
her, an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary. In his present
behaviour to herself, moreover, she had a fresh source of displeasure,
for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which
had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve, after
what had since passed, to provoke her. She lost all concern for him in
finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous
gallantry; and while she steadily repressed it, could not but feel the
reproof contained in his believing, that however long, and for whatever
cause, his attentions had been withdrawn, her vanity would be gratified,
and her preference secured at any time by their renewal.
On the very last day of the regiment's remaining at Meryton, he dined,
with other of the officers, at Longbourn; and so little was Elizabeth
disposed to part from him in good humour, that on his making some
inquiry as to the manner in which her time had passed at Hunsford, she
mentioned Colonel Fitzwilliam's and Mr. Darcy's having both spent three
weeks at Rosings, and asked him, if he was acquainted with the former.
He looked surprised, displeased, alarmed; but with a moment's
recollection and a returning smile, replied, that he had formerly seen
him often; and, after observing that he was a very gentlemanlike man,
asked her how she had liked him. Her answer was warmly in his favour.
With an air of indifference he soon afterwards added:
"How long did you say he was at Rosings?"
"Nearly three weeks."
"And you saw him frequently?"
"Yes, almost every day."
"His manners are very different from his cousin's."
"Yes, very different. But I think Mr. Darcy improves upon acquaintance."
"Indeed!" cried Mr. Wickham with a look which did not escape her. "And
pray, may I ask?--" But checking himself, he added, in a gayer tone, "Is
it in address that he improves? Has he deigned to add aught of civility
to his ordinary style?--for I dare not hope," he continued in a lower
and more serious tone, "that he is improved in essentials."
"Oh, no!" said Elizabeth. "In essentials, I believe, he is very much
what he ever was."
While she spoke, Wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to
rejoice over her words, or to distrust their meaning. There was a
something in her countenance which made him listen with an apprehensive
and anxious attention, while she added:
"When I said that he improved on acquaintance, I did not mean that
his mind or his manners were in a state of improvement, but that, from
knowing him better, his disposition was better understood."
Wickham's alarm now appeared in a heightened complexion and agitated
look; for a few minutes he was silent, till, shaking off his
embarrassment, he turned to her again, and said in the gentlest of
accents:
"You, who so well know my feeling towards Mr. Darcy, will readily
comprehend how sincerely I must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume
even the _appearance_ of what is right. His pride, in that direction,
may be of service, if not to himself, to many others, for it must only
deter him from such foul misconduct as I have suffered by. I only
fear that the sort of cautiousness to which you, I imagine, have been
alluding, is merely adopted on his visits to his aunt, of whose good
opinion and judgement he stands much in awe. His fear of her has always
operated, I know, when they were together; and a good deal is to be
imputed to his wish of forwarding the match with Miss de Bourgh, which I
am certain he has very much at heart."
Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a
slight inclination of the head. She saw that he wanted to engage her on
the old subject of his grievances, and she was in no humour to indulge
him. The rest of the evening passed with the _appearance_, on his
side, of usual cheerfulness, but with no further attempt to distinguish
Elizabeth; and they parted at last with mutual civility, and possibly a
mutual desire of never meeting again.
When the party broke up, Lydia returned with Mrs. Forster to Meryton,
from whence they were to set out early the next morning. The separation
between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic. Kitty was the
only one who shed tears; but she did weep from vexation and envy. Mrs.
Bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter,
and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the
opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possible--advice which
there was every reason to believe would be well attended to; and in
the clamorous happiness of Lydia herself in bidding farewell, the more
gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard.
Chapter 42
Had Elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family, she could
not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic
comfort. Her father, captivated by youth and beauty, and that appearance
of good humour which youth and beauty generally give, had married a
woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in
their marriage put an end to all real affection for her. Respect,
esteem, and confidence had vanished for ever; and all his views
of domestic happiness were overthrown. But Mr. Bennet was not of
a disposition to seek comfort for the disappointment which his own
imprudence had brought on, in any of those pleasures which too often
console the unfortunate for their folly or their vice. He was fond of
the country and of books; and from these tastes had arisen his principal
enjoyments. To his wife he was very little otherwise indebted, than as
her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement. This is not
the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his
wife; but where other powers of entertainment are wanting, the true
philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given.
Elizabeth, however, had never been blind to the impropriety of her
father's behaviour as a husband. She had always seen it with pain; but
respecting his abilities, and grateful for his affectionate treatment of
herself, she endeavoured to forget what she could not overlook, and to
banish from her thoughts that continual breach of conjugal obligation
and decorum which, in exposing his wife to the contempt of her own
children, was so highly reprehensible. But she had never felt so
strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so
unsuitable a marriage, nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising
from so ill-judged a direction of talents; talents, which, rightly used,
might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters, even
if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife.
When Elizabeth had rejoiced over Wickham's departure she found little
other cause for satisfaction in the loss of the regiment. Their parties
abroad were less varied than before, and at home she had a mother and
sister whose constant repinings at the dullness of everything around
them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle; and, though Kitty
might in time regain her natural degree of sense, since the disturbers
of her brain were removed, her other sister, from whose disposition
greater evil might be apprehended, was likely to be hardened in all
her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a
watering-place and a camp. Upon the whole, therefore, she found, what
has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had been
looking with impatient desire did not, in taking place, bring all the
satisfaction she had promised herself. It was consequently necessary to
name some other period for the commencement of actual felicity--to have
some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed, and by
again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation, console herself for the
present, and prepare for another disappointment. Her tour to the Lakes
was now the object of her happiest thoughts; it was her best consolation
for all the uncomfortable hours which the discontentedness of her mother
and Kitty made inevitable; and could she have included Jane in the
scheme, every part of it would have been perfect.
"But it is fortunate," thought she, "that I have something to wish for.
Were the whole arrangement complete, my disappointment would be certain.
But here, by carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my
sister's absence, I may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of
pleasure realised. A scheme of which every part promises delight can
never be successful; and general disappointment is only warded off by
the defence of some little peculiar vexation."
When Lydia went away she promised to write very often and very minutely
to her mother and Kitty; but her letters were always long expected, and
always very short. Those to her mother contained little else than that
they were just returned from the library, where such and such officers
had attended them, and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as
made her quite wild; that she had a new gown, or a new parasol, which
she would have described more fully, but was obliged to leave off in a
violent hurry, as Mrs. Forster called her, and they were going off to
the camp; and from her correspondence with her sister, there was still
less to be learnt--for her letters to Kitty, though rather longer, were
much too full of lines under the words to be made public.
After the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence, health, good
humour, and cheerfulness began to reappear at Longbourn. Everything wore
a happier aspect. The families who had been in town for the winter came
back again, and summer finery and summer engagements arose. Mrs. Bennet
was restored to her usual querulous serenity; and, by the middle of
June, Kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter Meryton without
tears; an event of such happy promise as to make Elizabeth hope that by
the following Christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to
mention an officer above once a day, unless, by some cruel and malicious
arrangement at the War Office, another regiment should be quartered in
Meryton.
The time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast
approaching, and a fortnight only was wanting of it, when a letter
arrived from Mrs. Gardiner, which at once delayed its commencement and
curtailed its extent. Mr. Gardiner would be prevented by business from
setting out till a fortnight later in July, and must be in London again
within a month, and as that left too short a period for them to go so
far, and see so much as they had proposed, or at least to see it with
the leisure and comfort they had built on, they were obliged to give up
the Lakes, and substitute a more contracted tour, and, according to the
present plan, were to go no farther northwards than Derbyshire. In that
county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three
weeks; and to Mrs. Gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction. The
town where she had formerly passed some years of her life, and where
they were now to spend a few days, was probably as great an object of
her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of Matlock, Chatsworth,
Dovedale, or the Peak.
Elizabeth was excessively disappointed; she had set her heart on seeing
the Lakes, and still thought there might have been time enough. But it
was her business to be satisfied--and certainly her temper to be happy;
and all was soon right again.
With the mention of Derbyshire there were many ideas connected. It was
impossible for her to see the word without thinking of Pemberley and its
owner. "But surely," said she, "I may enter his county with impunity,
and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me."
The period of expectation was now doubled. Four weeks were to pass away
before her uncle and aunt's arrival. But they did pass away, and Mr.
and Mrs. Gardiner, with their four children, did at length appear at
Longbourn. The children, two girls of six and eight years old, and two
younger boys, were to be left under the particular care of their
cousin Jane, who was the general favourite, and whose steady sense and
sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every
way--teaching them, playing with them, and loving them.
The Gardiners stayed only one night at Longbourn, and set off the
next morning with Elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement.
One enjoyment was certain--that of suitableness of companions;
a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear
inconveniences--cheerfulness to enhance every pleasure--and affection
and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were
disappointments abroad.
It is not the object of this work to give a description of Derbyshire,
nor of any of the remarkable places through which their route thither
lay; Oxford, Blenheim, Warwick, Kenilworth, Birmingham, etc. are
sufficiently known. A small part of Derbyshire is all the present
concern. To the little town of Lambton, the scene of Mrs. Gardiner's
former residence, and where she had lately learned some acquaintance
still remained, they bent their steps, after having seen all the
principal wonders of the country; and within five miles of Lambton,
Elizabeth found from her aunt that Pemberley was situated. It was not
in their direct road, nor more than a mile or two out of it. In
talking over their route the evening before, Mrs. Gardiner expressed
an inclination to see the place again. Mr. Gardiner declared his
willingness, and Elizabeth was applied to for her approbation.
"My love, should not you like to see a place of which you have heard
so much?" said her aunt; "a place, too, with which so many of your
acquaintances are connected. Wickham passed all his youth there, you
know."
Elizabeth was distressed. She felt that she had no business at
Pemberley, and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it. She
must own that she was tired of seeing great houses; after going over so
many, she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains.
Mrs. Gardiner abused her stupidity. "If it were merely a fine house
richly furnished," said she, "I should not care about it myself; but
the grounds are delightful. They have some of the finest woods in the
country."
Elizabeth said no more--but her mind could not acquiesce. The
possibility of meeting Mr. Darcy, while viewing the place, instantly
occurred. It would be dreadful! She blushed at the very idea, and
thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such
a risk. But against this there were objections; and she finally resolved
that it could be the last resource, if her private inquiries to the
absence of the family were unfavourably answered.
Accordingly, when she retired at night, she asked the chambermaid
whether Pemberley were not a very fine place? what was the name of its
proprietor? and, with no little alarm, whether the family were down for
the summer? A most welcome negative followed the last question--and her
alarms now being removed, she was at leisure to feel a great deal of
curiosity to see the house herself; and when the subject was revived the
next morning, and she was again applied to, could readily answer, and
with a proper air of indifference, that she had not really any dislike
to the scheme. To Pemberley, therefore, they were to go.
Chapter 43
Elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of
Pemberley Woods with some perturbation; and when at length they turned
in at the lodge, her spirits were in a high flutter.
The park was very large, and contained great variety of ground. They
entered it in one of its lowest points, and drove for some time through
a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent.
Elizabeth's mind was too full for conversation, but she saw and admired
every remarkable spot and point of view. They gradually ascended for
half-a-mile, and then found themselves at the top of a considerable
eminence, where the wood ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by
Pemberley House, situated on the opposite side of a valley, into which
the road with some abruptness wound. It was a large, handsome stone
building, standing well on rising ground, and backed by a ridge of
high woody hills; and in front, a stream of some natural importance was
swelled into greater, but without any artificial appearance. Its banks
were neither formal nor falsely adorned. Elizabeth was delighted. She
had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural
beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste. They were
all of them warm in their admiration; and at that moment she felt that
to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!
They descended the hill, crossed the bridge, and drove to the door; and,
while examining the nearer aspect of the house, all her apprehension of
meeting its owner returned. She dreaded lest the chambermaid had been
mistaken. On applying to see the place, they were admitted into the
hall; and Elizabeth, as they waited for the housekeeper, had leisure to
wonder at her being where she was.
The housekeeper came; a respectable-looking elderly woman, much less
fine, and more civil, than she had any notion of finding her. They
followed her into the dining-parlour. It was a large, well proportioned
room, handsomely fitted up. Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went
to a window to enjoy its prospect. The hill, crowned with wood, which
they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance,
was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and
she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its
banks and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it,
with delight. As they passed into other rooms these objects were taking
different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be
seen. The rooms were lofty and handsome, and their furniture suitable to
the fortune of its proprietor; but Elizabeth saw, with admiration of
his taste, that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine; with less of
splendour, and more real elegance, than the furniture of Rosings.
"And of this place," thought she, "I might have been mistress! With
these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted! Instead of
viewing them as a stranger, I might have rejoiced in them as my own, and
welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt. But no,"--recollecting
herself--"that could never be; my uncle and aunt would have been lost to
me; I should not have been allowed to invite them."
This was a lucky recollection--it saved her from something very like
regret.
She longed to inquire of the housekeeper whether her master was really
absent, but had not the courage for it. At length however, the question
was asked by her uncle; and she turned away with alarm, while Mrs.
Reynolds replied that he was, adding, "But we expect him to-morrow, with
a large party of friends." How rejoiced was Elizabeth that their own
journey had not by any circumstance been delayed a day!
Her aunt now called her to look at a picture. She approached and saw the
likeness of Mr. Wickham, suspended, amongst several other miniatures,
over the mantelpiece. Her aunt asked her, smilingly, how she liked it.
The housekeeper came forward, and told them it was a picture of a young
gentleman, the son of her late master's steward, who had been brought
up by him at his own expense. "He is now gone into the army," she added;
"but I am afraid he has turned out very wild."
Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece with a smile, but Elizabeth could not
return it.
"And that," said Mrs. Reynolds, pointing to another of the miniatures,
"is my master--and very like him. It was drawn at the same time as the
other--about eight years ago."
"I have heard much of your master's fine person," said Mrs. Gardiner,
looking at the picture; "it is a handsome face. But, Lizzy, you can tell
us whether it is like or not."
Mrs. Reynolds respect for Elizabeth seemed to increase on this
intimation of her knowing her master.
"Does that young lady know Mr. Darcy?"
Elizabeth coloured, and said: "A little."
"And do not you think him a very handsome gentleman, ma'am?"
"Yes, very handsome."
"I am sure I know none so handsome; but in the gallery up stairs you
will see a finer, larger picture of him than this. This room was my late
master's favourite room, and these miniatures are just as they used to
be then. He was very fond of them."
This accounted to Elizabeth for Mr. Wickham's being among them.
Mrs. Reynolds then directed their attention to one of Miss Darcy, drawn
when she was only eight years old.
"And is Miss Darcy as handsome as her brother?" said Mrs. Gardiner.
"Oh! yes--the handsomest young lady that ever was seen; and so
accomplished!--She plays and sings all day long. In the next room is
a new instrument just come down for her--a present from my master; she
comes here to-morrow with him."
Mr. Gardiner, whose manners were very easy and pleasant, encouraged her
communicativeness by his questions and remarks; Mrs. Reynolds, either
by pride or attachment, had evidently great pleasure in talking of her
master and his sister.
"Is your master much at Pemberley in the course of the year?"
"Not so much as I could wish, sir; but I dare say he may spend half his
time here; and Miss Darcy is always down for the summer months."
"Except," thought Elizabeth, "when she goes to Ramsgate."
"If your master would marry, you might see more of him."
"Yes, sir; but I do not know when _that_ will be. I do not know who is
good enough for him."
Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner smiled. Elizabeth could not help saying, "It is
very much to his credit, I am sure, that you should think so."
"I say no more than the truth, and everybody will say that knows him,"
replied the other. Elizabeth thought this was going pretty far; and she
listened with increasing astonishment as the housekeeper added, "I have
never known a cross word from him in my life, and I have known him ever
since he was four years old."
This was praise, of all others most extraordinary, most opposite to her
ideas. That he was not a good-tempered man had been her firmest opinion.
Her keenest attention was awakened; she longed to hear more, and was
grateful to her uncle for saying:
"There are very few people of whom so much can be said. You are lucky in
having such a master."
"Yes, sir, I know I am. If I were to go through the world, I could
not meet with a better. But I have always observed, that they who are
good-natured when children, are good-natured when they grow up; and
he was always the sweetest-tempered, most generous-hearted boy in the
world."
Elizabeth almost stared at her. "Can this be Mr. Darcy?" thought she.
"His father was an excellent man," said Mrs. Gardiner.
"Yes, ma'am, that he was indeed; and his son will be just like him--just
as affable to the poor."
Elizabeth listened, wondered, doubted, and was impatient for more. Mrs.
Reynolds could interest her on no other point. She related the subjects
of the pictures, the dimensions of the rooms, and the price of the
furniture, in vain. Mr. Gardiner, highly amused by the kind of family
prejudice to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her
master, soon led again to the subject; and she dwelt with energy on his
many merits as they proceeded together up the great staircase.
"He is the best landlord, and the best master," said she, "that ever
lived; not like the wild young men nowadays, who think of nothing but
themselves. There is not one of his tenants or servants but will give
him a good name. Some people call him proud; but I am sure I never saw
anything of it. To my fancy, it is only because he does not rattle away
like other young men."
"In what an amiable light does this place him!" thought Elizabeth.
"This fine account of him," whispered her aunt as they walked, "is not
quite consistent with his behaviour to our poor friend."
"Perhaps we might be deceived."
"That is not very likely; our authority was too good."
On reaching the spacious lobby above they were shown into a very pretty
sitting-room, lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than
the apartments below; and were informed that it was but just done to
give pleasure to Miss Darcy, who had taken a liking to the room when
last at Pemberley.
"He is certainly a good brother," said Elizabeth, as she walked towards
one of the windows.
Mrs. Reynolds anticipated Miss Darcy's delight, when she should enter
the room. "And this is always the way with him," she added. "Whatever
can give his sister any pleasure is sure to be done in a moment. There
is nothing he would not do for her."
The picture-gallery, and two or three of the principal bedrooms, were
all that remained to be shown. In the former were many good paintings;
but Elizabeth knew nothing of the art; and from such as had been already
visible below, she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of Miss
Darcy's, in crayons, whose subjects were usually more interesting, and
also more intelligible.
In the gallery there were many family portraits, but they could have
little to fix the attention of a stranger. Elizabeth walked in quest of
the only face whose features would be known to her. At last it arrested
her--and she beheld a striking resemblance to Mr. Darcy, with such a
smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he
looked at her. She stood several minutes before the picture, in earnest
contemplation, and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery.
Mrs. Reynolds informed them that it had been taken in his father's
lifetime.
There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth's mind, a more gentle
sensation towards the original than she had ever felt at the height of
their acquaintance. The commendation bestowed on him by Mrs. Reynolds
was of no trifling nature. What praise is more valuable than the praise
of an intelligent servant? As a brother, a landlord, a master, she
considered how many people's happiness were in his guardianship!--how
much of pleasure or pain was it in his power to bestow!--how much of
good or evil must be done by him! Every idea that had been brought
forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character, and as she
stood before the canvas on which he was represented, and fixed his
eyes upon herself, she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of
gratitude than it had ever raised before; she remembered its warmth, and
softened its impropriety of expression.
When all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen,
they returned downstairs, and, taking leave of the housekeeper, were
consigned over to the gardener, who met them at the hall-door.
As they walked across the hall towards the river, Elizabeth turned back
to look again; her uncle and aunt stopped also, and while the former
was conjecturing as to the date of the building, the owner of it himself
suddenly came forward from the road, which led behind it to the stables.
They were within twenty yards of each other, and so abrupt was his
appearance, that it was impossible to avoid his sight. Their eyes
instantly met, and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest
blush. He absolutely started, and for a moment seemed immovable from
surprise; but shortly recovering himself, advanced towards the party,
and spoke to Elizabeth, if not in terms of perfect composure, at least
of perfect civility.
She had instinctively turned away; but stopping on his approach,
received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be
overcome. Had his first appearance, or his resemblance to the picture
they had just been examining, been insufficient to assure the other two
that they now saw Mr. Darcy, the gardener's expression of surprise, on
beholding his master, must immediately have told it. They stood a little
aloof while he was talking to their niece, who, astonished and confused,
scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face, and knew not what answer
she returned to his civil inquiries after her family. Amazed at the
alteration of his manner since they last parted, every sentence that
he uttered was increasing her embarrassment; and every idea of the
impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind, the few
minutes in which they continued were some of the most uncomfortable in
her life. Nor did he seem much more at ease; when he spoke, his accent
had none of its usual sedateness; and he repeated his inquiries as
to the time of her having left Longbourn, and of her having stayed in
Derbyshire, so often, and in so hurried a way, as plainly spoke the
distraction of his thoughts.
At length every idea seemed to fail him; and, after standing a few
moments without saying a word, he suddenly recollected himself, and took
leave.
The others then joined her, and expressed admiration of his figure; but
Elizabeth heard not a word, and wholly engrossed by her own feelings,
followed them in silence. She was overpowered by shame and vexation. Her
coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the
world! How strange it must appear to him! In what a disgraceful light
might it not strike so vain a man! It might seem as if she had purposely
thrown herself in his way again! Oh! why did she come? Or, why did he
thus come a day before he was expected? Had they been only ten minutes
sooner, they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination;
for it was plain that he was that moment arrived--that moment alighted
from his horse or his carriage. She blushed again and again over
the perverseness of the meeting. And his behaviour, so strikingly
altered--what could it mean? That he should even speak to her was
amazing!--but to speak with such civility, to inquire after her family!
Never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified, never
had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting. What
a contrast did it offer to his last address in Rosings Park, when he put
his letter into her hand! She knew not what to think, or how to account
for it.
They had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water, and
every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground, or a finer
reach of the woods to which they were approaching; but it was some time
before Elizabeth was sensible of any of it; and, though she answered
mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt, and
seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out, she
distinguished no part of the scene. Her thoughts were all fixed on that
one spot of Pemberley House, whichever it might be, where Mr. Darcy then
was. She longed to know what at the moment was passing in his mind--in
what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of everything,
she was still dear to him. Perhaps he had been civil only because he
felt himself at ease; yet there had been _that_ in his voice which was
not like ease. Whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in
seeing her she could not tell, but he certainly had not seen her with
composure.
At length, however, the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind
aroused her, and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself.
They entered the woods, and bidding adieu to the river for a while,
ascended some of the higher grounds; when, in spots where the opening of
the trees gave the eye power to wander, were many charming views of the
valley, the opposite hills, with the long range of woods overspreading
many, and occasionally part of the stream. Mr. Gardiner expressed a wish
of going round the whole park, but feared it might be beyond a walk.
With a triumphant smile they were told that it was ten miles round.
It settled the matter; and they pursued the accustomed circuit; which
brought them again, after some time, in a descent among hanging woods,
to the edge of the water, and one of its narrowest parts. They crossed
it by a simple bridge, in character with the general air of the scene;
it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited; and the
valley, here contracted into a glen, allowed room only for the stream,
and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppice-wood which bordered it.
Elizabeth longed to explore its windings; but when they had crossed the
bridge, and perceived their distance from the house, Mrs. Gardiner,
who was not a great walker, could go no farther, and thought only
of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible. Her niece was,
therefore, obliged to submit, and they took their way towards the house
on the opposite side of the river, in the nearest direction; but their
progress was slow, for Mr. Gardiner, though seldom able to indulge the
taste, was very fond of fishing, and was so much engaged in watching the
occasional appearance of some trout in the water, and talking to the
man about them, that he advanced but little. Whilst wandering on in this
slow manner, they were again surprised, and Elizabeth's astonishment
was quite equal to what it had been at first, by the sight of Mr. Darcy
approaching them, and at no great distance. The walk being here
less sheltered than on the other side, allowed them to see him before
they met. Elizabeth, however astonished, was at least more prepared
for an interview than before, and resolved to appear and to speak with
calmness, if he really intended to meet them. For a few moments, indeed,
she felt that he would probably strike into some other path. The idea
lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view; the
turning past, he was immediately before them. With a glance, she saw
that he had lost none of his recent civility; and, to imitate his
politeness, she began, as they met, to admire the beauty of the place;
but she had not got beyond the words "delightful," and "charming," when
some unlucky recollections obtruded, and she fancied that praise of
Pemberley from her might be mischievously construed. Her colour changed,
and she said no more.
Mrs. Gardiner was standing a little behind; and on her pausing, he asked
her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends.
This was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared;
and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the
acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had
revolted in his offer to herself. "What will be his surprise," thought
she, "when he knows who they are? He takes them now for people of
fashion."
The introduction, however, was immediately made; and as she named their
relationship to herself, she stole a sly look at him, to see how he bore
it, and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he
could from such disgraceful companions. That he was _surprised_ by the
connection was evident; he sustained it, however, with fortitude, and
so far from going away, turned back with them, and entered into
conversation with Mr. Gardiner. Elizabeth could not but be pleased,
could not but triumph. It was consoling that he should know she had
some relations for whom there was no need to blush. She listened most
attentively to all that passed between them, and gloried in every
expression, every sentence of her uncle, which marked his intelligence,
his taste, or his good manners.
The conversation soon turned upon fishing; and she heard Mr. Darcy
invite him, with the greatest civility, to fish there as often as he
chose while he continued in the neighbourhood, offering at the same time
to supply him with fishing tackle, and pointing out those parts of
the stream where there was usually most sport. Mrs. Gardiner, who was
walking arm-in-arm with Elizabeth, gave her a look expressive of wonder.
Elizabeth said nothing, but it gratified her exceedingly; the compliment
must be all for herself. Her astonishment, however, was extreme, and
continually was she repeating, "Why is he so altered? From what can
it proceed? It cannot be for _me_--it cannot be for _my_ sake that his
manners are thus softened. My reproofs at Hunsford could not work such a
change as this. It is impossible that he should still love me."
After walking some time in this way, the two ladies in front, the two
gentlemen behind, on resuming their places, after descending to
the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious
water-plant, there chanced to be a little alteration. It originated
in Mrs. Gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found
Elizabeth's arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred
her husband's. Mr. Darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on
together. After a short silence, the lady first spoke. She wished him
to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the
place, and accordingly began by observing, that his arrival had been
very unexpected--"for your housekeeper," she added, "informed us that
you would certainly not be here till to-morrow; and indeed, before we
left Bakewell, we understood that you were not immediately expected
in the country." He acknowledged the truth of it all, and said that
business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours
before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling. "They
will join me early to-morrow," he continued, "and among them are some
who will claim an acquaintance with you--Mr. Bingley and his sisters."
Elizabeth answered only by a slight bow. Her thoughts were instantly
driven back to the time when Mr. Bingley's name had been the last
mentioned between them; and, if she might judge by his complexion, _his_
mind was not very differently engaged.
"There is also one other person in the party," he continued after a
pause, "who more particularly wishes to be known to you. Will you allow
me, or do I ask too much, to introduce my sister to your acquaintance
during your stay at Lambton?"
The surprise of such an application was great indeed; it was too great
for her to know in what manner she acceded to it. She immediately felt
that whatever desire Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted with her
must be the work of her brother, and, without looking farther, it was
satisfactory; it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made
him think really ill of her.
They now walked on in silence, each of them deep in thought. Elizabeth
was not comfortable; that was impossible; but she was flattered and
pleased. His wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of
the highest kind. They soon outstripped the others, and when they had
reached the carriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were half a quarter of a
mile behind.
He then asked her to walk into the house--but she declared herself not
tired, and they stood together on the lawn. At such a time much might
have been said, and silence was very awkward. She wanted to talk, but
there seemed to be an embargo on every subject. At last she recollected
that she had been travelling, and they talked of Matlock and Dove Dale
with great perseverance. Yet time and her aunt moved slowly--and her
patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the tete-a-tete was
over. On Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner's coming up they were all pressed to go
into the house and take some refreshment; but this was declined, and
they parted on each side with utmost politeness. Mr. Darcy handed the
ladies into the carriage; and when it drove off, Elizabeth saw him
walking slowly towards the house.
The observations of her uncle and aunt now began; and each of them
pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected.
"He is perfectly well behaved, polite, and unassuming," said her uncle.
"There _is_ something a little stately in him, to be sure," replied her
aunt, "but it is confined to his air, and is not unbecoming. I can now
say with the housekeeper, that though some people may call him proud, I
have seen nothing of it."
"I was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us. It was more
than civil; it was really attentive; and there was no necessity for such
attention. His acquaintance with Elizabeth was very trifling."
"To be sure, Lizzy," said her aunt, "he is not so handsome as Wickham;
or, rather, he has not Wickham's countenance, for his features
are perfectly good. But how came you to tell me that he was so
disagreeable?"
Elizabeth excused herself as well as she could; said that she had liked
him better when they had met in Kent than before, and that she had never
seen him so pleasant as this morning.
"But perhaps he may be a little whimsical in his civilities," replied
her uncle. "Your great men often are; and therefore I shall not take him
at his word, as he might change his mind another day, and warn me off
his grounds."
Elizabeth felt that they had entirely misunderstood his character, but
said nothing.
"From what we have seen of him," continued Mrs. Gardiner, "I really
should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by
anybody as he has done by poor Wickham. He has not an ill-natured look.
On the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he
speaks. And there is something of dignity in his countenance that would
not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart. But, to be sure, the
good lady who showed us his house did give him a most flaming character!
I could hardly help laughing aloud sometimes. But he is a liberal
master, I suppose, and _that_ in the eye of a servant comprehends every
virtue."
Elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of
his behaviour to Wickham; and therefore gave them to understand, in
as guarded a manner as she could, that by what she had heard from
his relations in Kent, his actions were capable of a very different
construction; and that his character was by no means so faulty, nor
Wickham's so amiable, as they had been considered in Hertfordshire. In
confirmation of this, she related the particulars of all the pecuniary
transactions in which they had been connected, without actually naming
her authority, but stating it to be such as might be relied on.
Mrs. Gardiner was surprised and concerned; but as they were now
approaching the scene of her former pleasures, every idea gave way to
the charm of recollection; and she was too much engaged in pointing out
to her husband all the interesting spots in its environs to think of
anything else. Fatigued as she had been by the morning's walk they
had no sooner dined than she set off again in quest of her former
acquaintance, and the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a
intercourse renewed after many years' discontinuance.
The occurrences of the day were too full of interest to leave Elizabeth
much attention for any of these new friends; and she could do nothing
but think, and think with wonder, of Mr. Darcy's civility, and, above
all, of his wishing her to be acquainted with his sister.
Chapter 44
Elizabeth had settled it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit
her the very day after her reaching Pemberley; and was consequently
resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning.
But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their
arrival at Lambton, these visitors came. They had been walking about the
place with some of their new friends, and were just returning to the inn
to dress themselves for dining with the same family, when the sound of a
carriage drew them to a window, and they saw a gentleman and a lady in
a curricle driving up the street. Elizabeth immediately recognizing
the livery, guessed what it meant, and imparted no small degree of her
surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she
expected. Her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment
of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many
of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on
the business. Nothing had ever suggested it before, but they felt that
there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a
quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece. While these
newly-born notions were passing in their heads, the perturbation of
Elizabeth's feelings was at every moment increasing. She was quite
amazed at her own discomposure; but amongst other causes of disquiet,
she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much
in her favour; and, more than commonly anxious to please, she naturally
suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her.
She retreated from the window, fearful of being seen; and as she walked
up and down the room, endeavouring to compose herself, saw such looks of
inquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse.
Miss Darcy and her brother appeared, and this formidable introduction
took place. With astonishment did Elizabeth see that her new
acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself. Since her
being at Lambton, she had heard that Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud;
but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was
only exceedingly shy. She found it difficult to obtain even a word from
her beyond a monosyllable.
Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though
little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance
womanly and graceful. She was less handsome than her brother; but there
was sense and good humour in her face, and her manners were perfectly
unassuming and gentle. Elizabeth, who had expected to find in her as
acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever Mr. Darcy had been, was much
relieved by discerning such different feelings.
They had not long been together before Mr. Darcy told her that Bingley
was also coming to wait on her; and she had barely time to express her
satisfaction, and prepare for such a visitor, when Bingley's quick
step was heard on the stairs, and in a moment he entered the room. All
Elizabeth's anger against him had been long done away; but had she still
felt any, it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected
cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again. He
inquired in a friendly, though general way, after her family, and looked
and spoke with the same good-humoured ease that he had ever done.
To Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage
than to herself. They had long wished to see him. The whole party before
them, indeed, excited a lively attention. The suspicions which had just
arisen of Mr. Darcy and their niece directed their observation towards
each with an earnest though guarded inquiry; and they soon drew from
those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew
what it was to love. Of the lady's sensations they remained a little
in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was
evident enough.
Elizabeth, on her side, had much to do. She wanted to ascertain the
feelings of each of her visitors; she wanted to compose her own, and
to make herself agreeable to all; and in the latter object, where she
feared most to fail, she was most sure of success, for those to whom she
endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour. Bingley
was ready, Georgiana was eager, and Darcy determined, to be pleased.
In seeing Bingley, her thoughts naturally flew to her sister; and, oh!
how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in
a like manner. Sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on
former occasions, and once or twice pleased herself with the notion
that, as he looked at her, he was trying to trace a resemblance. But,
though this might be imaginary, she could not be deceived as to his
behaviour to Miss Darcy, who had been set up as a rival to Jane. No look
appeared on either side that spoke particular regard. Nothing occurred
between them that could justify the hopes of his sister. On this point
she was soon satisfied; and two or three little circumstances occurred
ere they parted, which, in her anxious interpretation, denoted a
recollection of Jane not untinctured by tenderness, and a wish of saying
more that might lead to the mention of her, had he dared. He observed
to her, at a moment when the others were talking together, and in a tone
which had something of real regret, that it "was a very long time since
he had had the pleasure of seeing her;" and, before she could reply,
he added, "It is above eight months. We have not met since the 26th of
November, when we were all dancing together at Netherfield."
Elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact; and he afterwards
took occasion to ask her, when unattended to by any of the rest, whether
_all_ her sisters were at Longbourn. There was not much in the question,
nor in the preceding remark; but there was a look and a manner which
gave them meaning.
It was not often that she could turn her eyes on Mr. Darcy himself;
but, whenever she did catch a glimpse, she saw an expression of general
complaisance, and in all that he said she heard an accent so removed
from _hauteur_ or disdain of his companions, as convinced her that
the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed however
temporary its existence might prove, had at least outlived one day. When
she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion
of people with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a
disgrace--when she saw him thus civil, not only to herself, but to the
very relations whom he had openly disdained, and recollected their last
lively scene in Hunsford Parsonage--the difference, the change was
so great, and struck so forcibly on her mind, that she could hardly
restrain her astonishment from being visible. Never, even in the company
of his dear friends at Netherfield, or his dignified relations
at Rosings, had she seen him so desirous to please, so free from
self-consequence or unbending reserve, as now, when no importance
could result from the success of his endeavours, and when even the
acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw
down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of Netherfield and
Rosings.
Their visitors stayed with them above half-an-hour; and when they arose
to depart, Mr. Darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing
their wish of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, and Miss Bennet, to dinner
at Pemberley, before they left the country. Miss Darcy, though with a
diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations,
readily obeyed. Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece, desirous of knowing
how _she_, whom the invitation most concerned, felt disposed as to its
acceptance, but Elizabeth had turned away her head. Presuming however,
that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment than
any dislike of the proposal, and seeing in her husband, who was fond of
society, a perfect willingness to accept it, she ventured to engage for
her attendance, and the day after the next was fixed on.
Bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing Elizabeth
again, having still a great deal to say to her, and many inquiries to
make after all their Hertfordshire friends. Elizabeth, construing all
this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister, was pleased, and on
this account, as well as some others, found herself, when their
visitors left them, capable of considering the last half-hour with some
satisfaction, though while it was passing, the enjoyment of it had been
little. Eager to be alone, and fearful of inquiries or hints from her
uncle and aunt, she stayed with them only long enough to hear their
favourable opinion of Bingley, and then hurried away to dress.
But she had no reason to fear Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner's curiosity; it was
not their wish to force her communication. It was evident that she was
much better acquainted with Mr. Darcy than they had before any idea of;
it was evident that he was very much in love with her. They saw much to
interest, but nothing to justify inquiry.
Of Mr. Darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well; and, as far
as their acquaintance reached, there was no fault to find. They could
not be untouched by his politeness; and had they drawn his character
from their own feelings and his servant's report, without any reference
to any other account, the circle in Hertfordshire to which he was known
would not have recognized it for Mr. Darcy. There was now an interest,
however, in believing the housekeeper; and they soon became sensible
that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four
years old, and whose own manners indicated respectability, was not to be
hastily rejected. Neither had anything occurred in the intelligence of
their Lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight. They had
nothing to accuse him of but pride; pride he probably had, and if not,
it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small market-town
where the family did not visit. It was acknowledged, however, that he
was a liberal man, and did much good among the poor.
With respect to Wickham, the travellers soon found that he was not held
there in much estimation; for though the chief of his concerns with the
son of his patron were imperfectly understood, it was yet a well-known
fact that, on his quitting Derbyshire, he had left many debts behind
him, which Mr. Darcy afterwards discharged.
As for Elizabeth, her thoughts were at Pemberley this evening more than
the last; and the evening, though as it passed it seemed long, was not
long enough to determine her feelings towards _one_ in that mansion;
and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out. She
certainly did not hate him. No; hatred had vanished long ago, and she
had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him,
that could be so called. The respect created by the conviction of his
valuable qualities, though at first unwillingly admitted, had for some
time ceased to be repugnant to her feeling; and it was now heightened
into somewhat of a friendlier nature, by the testimony so highly in
his favour, and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light,
which yesterday had produced. But above all, above respect and esteem,
there was a motive within her of goodwill which could not be overlooked.
It was gratitude; gratitude, not merely for having once loved her,
but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and
acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations
accompanying her rejection. He who, she had been persuaded, would avoid
her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most
eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display
of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only
were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent
on making her known to his sister. Such a change in a man of so much
pride exciting not only astonishment but gratitude--for to love, ardent
love, it must be attributed; and as such its impression on her was of a
sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be
exactly defined. She respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him,
she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how
far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would
be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her
fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on her the renewal of
his addresses.
It had been settled in the evening between the aunt and the niece, that
such a striking civility as Miss Darcy's in coming to see them on the
very day of her arrival at Pemberley, for she had reached it only to a
late breakfast, ought to be imitated, though it could not be equalled,
by some exertion of politeness on their side; and, consequently, that
it would be highly expedient to wait on her at Pemberley the following
morning. They were, therefore, to go. Elizabeth was pleased; though when
she asked herself the reason, she had very little to say in reply.
Mr. Gardiner left them soon after breakfast. The fishing scheme had been
renewed the day before, and a positive engagement made of his meeting
some of the gentlemen at Pemberley before noon.
Chapter 45
Convinced as Elizabeth now was that Miss Bingley's dislike of her had
originated in jealousy, she could not help feeling how unwelcome her
appearance at Pemberley must be to her, and was curious to know with how
much civility on that lady's side the acquaintance would now be renewed.
On reaching the house, they were shown through the hall into the saloon,
whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer. Its windows
opening to the ground, admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody
hills behind the house, and of the beautiful oaks and Spanish chestnuts
which were scattered over the intermediate lawn.
In this house they were received by Miss Darcy, who was sitting there
with Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley, and the lady with whom she lived in
London. Georgiana's reception of them was very civil, but attended with
all the embarrassment which, though proceeding from shyness and the fear
of doing wrong, would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior
the belief of her being proud and reserved. Mrs. Gardiner and her niece,
however, did her justice, and pitied her.
By Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley they were noticed only by a curtsey; and,
on their being seated, a pause, awkward as such pauses must always be,
succeeded for a few moments. It was first broken by Mrs. Annesley, a
genteel, agreeable-looking woman, whose endeavour to introduce some kind
of discourse proved her to be more truly well-bred than either of the
others; and between her and Mrs. Gardiner, with occasional help from
Elizabeth, the conversation was carried on. Miss Darcy looked as if she
wished for courage enough to join in it; and sometimes did venture a
short sentence when there was least danger of its being heard.
Elizabeth soon saw that she was herself closely watched by Miss Bingley,
and that she could not speak a word, especially to Miss Darcy, without
calling her attention. This observation would not have prevented her
from trying to talk to the latter, had they not been seated at an
inconvenient distance; but she was not sorry to be spared the necessity
of saying much. Her own thoughts were employing her. She expected every
moment that some of the gentlemen would enter the room. She wished, she
feared that the master of the house might be amongst them; and whether
she wished or feared it most, she could scarcely determine. After
sitting in this manner a quarter of an hour without hearing Miss
Bingley's voice, Elizabeth was roused by receiving from her a cold
inquiry after the health of her family. She answered with equal
indifference and brevity, and the other said no more.
The next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the
entrance of servants with cold meat, cake, and a variety of all the
finest fruits in season; but this did not take place till after many
a significant look and smile from Mrs. Annesley to Miss Darcy had been
given, to remind her of her post. There was now employment for the whole
party--for though they could not all talk, they could all eat; and the
beautiful pyramids of grapes, nectarines, and peaches soon collected
them round the table.
While thus engaged, Elizabeth had a fair opportunity of deciding whether
she most feared or wished for the appearance of Mr. Darcy, by the
feelings which prevailed on his entering the room; and then, though but
a moment before she had believed her wishes to predominate, she began to
regret that he came.
He had been some time with Mr. Gardiner, who, with two or three other
gentlemen from the house, was engaged by the river, and had left him
only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to
Georgiana that morning. No sooner did he appear than Elizabeth wisely
resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed; a resolution the more
necessary to be made, but perhaps not the more easily kept, because she
saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them,
and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour
when he first came into the room. In no countenance was attentive
curiosity so strongly marked as in Miss Bingley's, in spite of the
smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its
objects; for jealousy had not yet made her desperate, and her attentions
to Mr. Darcy were by no means over. Miss Darcy, on her brother's
entrance, exerted herself much more to talk, and Elizabeth saw that he
was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted, and forwarded
as much as possible, every attempt at conversation on either side. Miss
Bingley saw all this likewise; and, in the imprudence of anger, took the
first opportunity of saying, with sneering civility:
"Pray, Miss Eliza, are not the ----shire Militia removed from Meryton?
They must be a great loss to _your_ family."
In Darcy's presence she dared not mention Wickham's name; but Elizabeth
instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts; and the
various recollections connected with him gave her a moment's distress;
but exerting herself vigorously to repel the ill-natured attack, she
presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone. While
she spoke, an involuntary glance showed her Darcy, with a heightened
complexion, earnestly looking at her, and his sister overcome with
confusion, and unable to lift up her eyes. Had Miss Bingley known what
pain she was then giving her beloved friend, she undoubtedly would
have refrained from the hint; but she had merely intended to discompose
Elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed
her partial, to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in
Darcy's opinion, and, perhaps, to remind the latter of all the follies
and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected
with that corps. Not a syllable had ever reached her of Miss Darcy's
meditated elopement. To no creature had it been revealed, where secrecy
was possible, except to Elizabeth; and from all Bingley's connections
her brother was particularly anxious to conceal it, from the very
wish which Elizabeth had long ago attributed to him, of their becoming
hereafter her own. He had certainly formed such a plan, and without
meaning that it should affect his endeavour to separate him from Miss
Bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern
for the welfare of his friend.
Elizabeth's collected behaviour, however, soon quieted his emotion; and
as Miss Bingley, vexed and disappointed, dared not approach nearer to
Wickham, Georgiana also recovered in time, though not enough to be able
to speak any more. Her brother, whose eye she feared to meet, scarcely
recollected her interest in the affair, and the very circumstance which
had been designed to turn his thoughts from Elizabeth seemed to have
fixed them on her more and more cheerfully.
Their visit did not continue long after the question and answer above
mentioned; and while Mr. Darcy was attending them to their carriage Miss
Bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on Elizabeth's person,
behaviour, and dress. But Georgiana would not join her. Her brother's
recommendation was enough to ensure her favour; his judgement could not
err. And he had spoken in such terms of Elizabeth as to leave Georgiana
without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable. When
Darcy returned to the saloon, Miss Bingley could not help repeating to
him some part of what she had been saying to his sister.
"How very ill Miss Eliza Bennet looks this morning, Mr. Darcy," she
cried; "I never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is since
the winter. She is grown so brown and coarse! Louisa and I were agreeing
that we should not have known her again."
However little Mr. Darcy might have liked such an address, he contented
himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than
her being rather tanned, no miraculous consequence of travelling in the
summer.
"For my own part," she rejoined, "I must confess that I never could
see any beauty in her. Her face is too thin; her complexion has no
brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. Her nose
wants character--there is nothing marked in its lines. Her teeth are
tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes,
which have sometimes been called so fine, I could never see anything
extraordinary in them. They have a sharp, shrewish look, which I do
not like at all; and in her air altogether there is a self-sufficiency
without fashion, which is intolerable."
Persuaded as Miss Bingley was that Darcy admired Elizabeth, this was not
the best method of recommending herself; but angry people are not always
wise; and in seeing him at last look somewhat nettled, she had all the
success she expected. He was resolutely silent, however, and, from a
determination of making him speak, she continued:
"I remember, when we first knew her in Hertfordshire, how amazed we all
were to find that she was a reputed beauty; and I particularly recollect
your saying one night, after they had been dining at Netherfield, '_She_
a beauty!--I should as soon call her mother a wit.' But afterwards she
seemed to improve on you, and I believe you thought her rather pretty at
one time."
"Yes," replied Darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but _that_
was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have
considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance."
He then went away, and Miss Bingley was left to all the satisfaction of
having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself.
Mrs. Gardiner and Elizabeth talked of all that had occurred during their
visit, as they returned, except what had particularly interested them
both. The look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed,
except of the person who had mostly engaged their attention. They talked
of his sister, his friends, his house, his fruit--of everything but
himself; yet Elizabeth was longing to know what Mrs. Gardiner thought of
him, and Mrs. Gardiner would have been highly gratified by her niece's
beginning the subject.
Chapter 46
Elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from
Jane on their first arrival at Lambton; and this disappointment had been
renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there; but
on the third her repining was over, and her sister justified, by the
receipt of two letters from her at once, on one of which was marked that
it had been missent elsewhere. Elizabeth was not surprised at it, as
Jane had written the direction remarkably ill.
They had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in; and
her uncle and aunt, leaving her to enjoy them in quiet, set off by
themselves. The one missent must first be attended to; it had been
written five days ago. The beginning contained an account of all their
little parties and engagements, with such news as the country afforded;
but the latter half, which was dated a day later, and written in evident
agitation, gave more important intelligence. It was to this effect:
"Since writing the above, dearest Lizzy, something has occurred of a
most unexpected and serious nature; but I am afraid of alarming you--be
assured that we are all well. What I have to say relates to poor Lydia.
An express came at twelve last night, just as we were all gone to bed,
from Colonel Forster, to inform us that she was gone off to Scotland
with one of his officers; to own the truth, with Wickham! Imagine our
surprise. To Kitty, however, it does not seem so wholly unexpected. I am
very, very sorry. So imprudent a match on both sides! But I am willing
to hope the best, and that his character has been misunderstood.
Thoughtless and indiscreet I can easily believe him, but this step
(and let us rejoice over it) marks nothing bad at heart. His choice is
disinterested at least, for he must know my father can give her nothing.
Our poor mother is sadly grieved. My father bears it better. How
thankful am I that we never let them know what has been said against
him; we must forget it ourselves. They were off Saturday night about
twelve, as is conjectured, but were not missed till yesterday morning at
eight. The express was sent off directly. My dear Lizzy, they must have
passed within ten miles of us. Colonel Forster gives us reason to expect
him here soon. Lydia left a few lines for his wife, informing her of
their intention. I must conclude, for I cannot be long from my poor
mother. I am afraid you will not be able to make it out, but I hardly
know what I have written."
Without allowing herself time for consideration, and scarcely knowing
what she felt, Elizabeth on finishing this letter instantly seized the
other, and opening it with the utmost impatience, read as follows: it
had been written a day later than the conclusion of the first.
"By this time, my dearest sister, you have received my hurried letter; I
wish this may be more intelligible, but though not confined for time, my
head is so bewildered that I cannot answer for being coherent. Dearest
Lizzy, I hardly know what I would write, but I have bad news for you,
and it cannot be delayed. Imprudent as the marriage between Mr. Wickham
and our poor Lydia would be, we are now anxious to be assured it has
taken place, for there is but too much reason to fear they are not gone
to Scotland. Colonel Forster came yesterday, having left Brighton the
day before, not many hours after the express. Though Lydia's short
letter to Mrs. F. gave them to understand that they were going to Gretna
Green, something was dropped by Denny expressing his belief that W.
never intended to go there, or to marry Lydia at all, which was
repeated to Colonel F., who, instantly taking the alarm, set off from B.
intending to trace their route. He did trace them easily to Clapham,
but no further; for on entering that place, they removed into a hackney
coach, and dismissed the chaise that brought them from Epsom. All that
is known after this is, that they were seen to continue the London road.
I know not what to think. After making every possible inquiry on that
side London, Colonel F. came on into Hertfordshire, anxiously renewing
them at all the turnpikes, and at the inns in Barnet and Hatfield, but
without any success--no such people had been seen to pass through. With
the kindest concern he came on to Longbourn, and broke his apprehensions
to us in a manner most creditable to his heart. I am sincerely grieved
for him and Mrs. F., but no one can throw any blame on them. Our
distress, my dear Lizzy, is very great. My father and mother believe the
worst, but I cannot think so ill of him. Many circumstances might make
it more eligible for them to be married privately in town than to pursue
their first plan; and even if _he_ could form such a design against a
young woman of Lydia's connections, which is not likely, can I suppose
her so lost to everything? Impossible! I grieve to find, however, that
Colonel F. is not disposed to depend upon their marriage; he shook his
head when I expressed my hopes, and said he feared W. was not a man to
be trusted. My poor mother is really ill, and keeps her room. Could she
exert herself, it would be better; but this is not to be expected. And
as to my father, I never in my life saw him so affected. Poor Kitty has
anger for having concealed their attachment; but as it was a matter of
confidence, one cannot wonder. I am truly glad, dearest Lizzy, that you
have been spared something of these distressing scenes; but now, as the
first shock is over, shall I own that I long for your return? I am not
so selfish, however, as to press for it, if inconvenient. Adieu! I
take up my pen again to do what I have just told you I would not; but
circumstances are such that I cannot help earnestly begging you all to
come here as soon as possible. I know my dear uncle and aunt so well,
that I am not afraid of requesting it, though I have still something
more to ask of the former. My father is going to London with Colonel
Forster instantly, to try to discover her. What he means to do I am sure
I know not; but his excessive distress will not allow him to pursue any
measure in the best and safest way, and Colonel Forster is obliged to
be at Brighton again to-morrow evening. In such an exigence, my
uncle's advice and assistance would be everything in the world; he will
immediately comprehend what I must feel, and I rely upon his goodness."
"Oh! where, where is my uncle?" cried Elizabeth, darting from her seat
as she finished the letter, in eagerness to follow him, without losing
a moment of the time so precious; but as she reached the door it was
opened by a servant, and Mr. Darcy appeared. Her pale face and impetuous
manner made him start, and before he could recover himself to speak,
she, in whose mind every idea was superseded by Lydia's situation,
hastily exclaimed, "I beg your pardon, but I must leave you. I must find
Mr. Gardiner this moment, on business that cannot be delayed; I have not
an instant to lose."
"Good God! what is the matter?" cried he, with more feeling than
politeness; then recollecting himself, "I will not detain you a minute;
but let me, or let the servant go after Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. You are
not well enough; you cannot go yourself."
Elizabeth hesitated, but her knees trembled under her and she felt how
little would be gained by her attempting to pursue them. Calling back
the servant, therefore, she commissioned him, though in so breathless
an accent as made her almost unintelligible, to fetch his master and
mistress home instantly.
On his quitting the room she sat down, unable to support herself, and
looking so miserably ill, that it was impossible for Darcy to leave her,
or to refrain from saying, in a tone of gentleness and commiseration,
"Let me call your maid. Is there nothing you could take to give you
present relief? A glass of wine; shall I get you one? You are very ill."
"No, I thank you," she replied, endeavouring to recover herself. "There
is nothing the matter with me. I am quite well; I am only distressed by
some dreadful news which I have just received from Longbourn."
She burst into tears as she alluded to it, and for a few minutes could
not speak another word. Darcy, in wretched suspense, could only say
something indistinctly of his concern, and observe her in compassionate
silence. At length she spoke again. "I have just had a letter from Jane,
with such dreadful news. It cannot be concealed from anyone. My younger
sister has left all her friends--has eloped; has thrown herself into
the power of--of Mr. Wickham. They are gone off together from Brighton.
_You_ know him too well to doubt the rest. She has no money, no
connections, nothing that can tempt him to--she is lost for ever."
Darcy was fixed in astonishment. "When I consider," she added in a yet
more agitated voice, "that I might have prevented it! I, who knew what
he was. Had I but explained some part of it only--some part of what I
learnt, to my own family! Had his character been known, this could not
have happened. But it is all--all too late now."
"I am grieved indeed," cried Darcy; "grieved--shocked. But is it
certain--absolutely certain?"
"Oh, yes! They left Brighton together on Sunday night, and were traced
almost to London, but not beyond; they are certainly not gone to
Scotland."
"And what has been done, what has been attempted, to recover her?"
"My father is gone to London, and Jane has written to beg my uncle's
immediate assistance; and we shall be off, I hope, in half-an-hour. But
nothing can be done--I know very well that nothing can be done. How is
such a man to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered? I have
not the smallest hope. It is every way horrible!"
Darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence.
"When _my_ eyes were opened to his real character--Oh! had I known what
I ought, what I dared to do! But I knew not--I was afraid of doing too
much. Wretched, wretched mistake!"
Darcy made no answer. He seemed scarcely to hear her, and was walking
up and down the room in earnest meditation, his brow contracted, his air
gloomy. Elizabeth soon observed, and instantly understood it. Her
power was sinking; everything _must_ sink under such a proof of family
weakness, such an assurance of the deepest disgrace. She could neither
wonder nor condemn, but the belief of his self-conquest brought nothing
consolatory to her bosom, afforded no palliation of her distress. It
was, on the contrary, exactly calculated to make her understand her own
wishes; and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved
him, as now, when all love must be vain.
But self, though it would intrude, could not engross her. Lydia--the
humiliation, the misery she was bringing on them all, soon swallowed
up every private care; and covering her face with her handkerchief,
Elizabeth was soon lost to everything else; and, after a pause of
several minutes, was only recalled to a sense of her situation by
the voice of her companion, who, in a manner which, though it spoke
compassion, spoke likewise restraint, said, "I am afraid you have been
long desiring my absence, nor have I anything to plead in excuse of my
stay, but real, though unavailing concern. Would to Heaven that anything
could be either said or done on my part that might offer consolation to
such distress! But I will not torment you with vain wishes, which may
seem purposely to ask for your thanks. This unfortunate affair will, I
fear, prevent my sister's having the pleasure of seeing you at Pemberley
to-day."
"Oh, yes. Be so kind as to apologise for us to Miss Darcy. Say that
urgent business calls us home immediately. Conceal the unhappy truth as
long as it is possible, I know it cannot be long."
He readily assured her of his secrecy; again expressed his sorrow for
her distress, wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present
reason to hope, and leaving his compliments for her relations, with only
one serious, parting look, went away.
As he quitted the room, Elizabeth felt how improbable it was that they
should ever see each other again on such terms of cordiality as
had marked their several meetings in Derbyshire; and as she threw a
retrospective glance over the whole of their acquaintance, so full
of contradictions and varieties, sighed at the perverseness of those
feelings which would now have promoted its continuance, and would
formerly have rejoiced in its termination.
If gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection, Elizabeth's
change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty. But if
otherwise--if regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or
unnatural, in comparison of what is so often described as arising on
a first interview with its object, and even before two words have been
exchanged, nothing can be said in her defence, except that she had given
somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for Wickham,
and that its ill success might, perhaps, authorise her to seek the other
less interesting mode of attachment. Be that as it may, she saw him
go with regret; and in this early example of what Lydia's infamy must
produce, found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched
business. Never, since reading Jane's second letter, had she entertained
a hope of Wickham's meaning to marry her. No one but Jane, she thought,
could flatter herself with such an expectation. Surprise was the least
of her feelings on this development. While the contents of the first
letter remained in her mind, she was all surprise--all astonishment that
Wickham should marry a girl whom it was impossible he could marry
for money; and how Lydia could ever have attached him had appeared
incomprehensible. But now it was all too natural. For such an attachment
as this she might have sufficient charms; and though she did not suppose
Lydia to be deliberately engaging in an elopement without the intention
of marriage, she had no difficulty in believing that neither her virtue
nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy prey.
She had never perceived, while the regiment was in Hertfordshire, that
Lydia had any partiality for him; but she was convinced that Lydia
wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody. Sometimes one
officer, sometimes another, had been her favourite, as their attentions
raised them in her opinion. Her affections had continually been
fluctuating but never without an object. The mischief of neglect and
mistaken indulgence towards such a girl--oh! how acutely did she now
feel it!
She was wild to be at home--to hear, to see, to be upon the spot to
share with Jane in the cares that must now fall wholly upon her, in a
family so deranged, a father absent, a mother incapable of exertion, and
requiring constant attendance; and though almost persuaded that nothing
could be done for Lydia, her uncle's interference seemed of the utmost
importance, and till he entered the room her impatience was severe. Mr.
and Mrs. Gardiner had hurried back in alarm, supposing by the servant's
account that their niece was taken suddenly ill; but satisfying them
instantly on that head, she eagerly communicated the cause of their
summons, reading the two letters aloud, and dwelling on the postscript
of the last with trembling energy.--Though Lydia had never been a
favourite with them, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner could not but be deeply
afflicted. Not Lydia only, but all were concerned in it; and after the
first exclamations of surprise and horror, Mr. Gardiner promised every
assistance in his power. Elizabeth, though expecting no less, thanked
him with tears of gratitude; and all three being actuated by one spirit,
everything relating to their journey was speedily settled. They were to
be off as soon as possible. "But what is to be done about Pemberley?"
cried Mrs. Gardiner. "John told us Mr. Darcy was here when you sent for
us; was it so?"
"Yes; and I told him we should not be able to keep our engagement.
_That_ is all settled."
"What is all settled?" repeated the other, as she ran into her room to
prepare. "And are they upon such terms as for her to disclose the real
truth? Oh, that I knew how it was!"
But wishes were vain, or at least could only serve to amuse her in the
hurry and confusion of the following hour. Had Elizabeth been at leisure
to be idle, she would have remained certain that all employment was
impossible to one so wretched as herself; but she had her share of
business as well as her aunt, and amongst the rest there were notes to
be written to all their friends at Lambton, with false excuses for their
sudden departure. An hour, however, saw the whole completed; and Mr.
Gardiner meanwhile having settled his account at the inn, nothing
remained to be done but to go; and Elizabeth, after all the misery of
the morning, found herself, in a shorter space of time than she could
have supposed, seated in the carriage, and on the road to Longbourn.
Chapter 47
"I have been thinking it over again, Elizabeth," said her uncle, as they
drove from the town; "and really, upon serious consideration, I am much
more inclined than I was to judge as your eldest sister does on the
matter. It appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should
form such a design against a girl who is by no means unprotected or
friendless, and who was actually staying in his colonel's family, that I
am strongly inclined to hope the best. Could he expect that her friends
would not step forward? Could he expect to be noticed again by the
regiment, after such an affront to Colonel Forster? His temptation is
not adequate to the risk!"
"Do you really think so?" cried Elizabeth, brightening up for a moment.
"Upon my word," said Mrs. Gardiner, "I begin to be of your uncle's
opinion. It is really too great a violation of decency, honour, and
interest, for him to be guilty of. I cannot think so very ill of
Wickham. Can you yourself, Lizzy, so wholly give him up, as to believe
him capable of it?"
"Not, perhaps, of neglecting his own interest; but of every other
neglect I can believe him capable. If, indeed, it should be so! But I
dare not hope it. Why should they not go on to Scotland if that had been
the case?"
"In the first place," replied Mr. Gardiner, "there is no absolute proof
that they are not gone to Scotland."
"Oh! but their removing from the chaise into a hackney coach is such
a presumption! And, besides, no traces of them were to be found on the
Barnet road."
"Well, then--supposing them to be in London. They may be there, though
for the purpose of concealment, for no more exceptional purpose. It is
not likely that money should be very abundant on either side; and it
might strike them that they could be more economically, though less
expeditiously, married in London than in Scotland."
"But why all this secrecy? Why any fear of detection? Why must their
marriage be private? Oh, no, no--this is not likely. His most particular
friend, you see by Jane's account, was persuaded of his never intending
to marry her. Wickham will never marry a woman without some money. He
cannot afford it. And what claims has Lydia--what attraction has she
beyond youth, health, and good humour that could make him, for her sake,
forego every chance of benefiting himself by marrying well? As to what
restraint the apprehensions of disgrace in the corps might throw on a
dishonourable elopement with her, I am not able to judge; for I know
nothing of the effects that such a step might produce. But as to your
other objection, I am afraid it will hardly hold good. Lydia has
no brothers to step forward; and he might imagine, from my father's
behaviour, from his indolence and the little attention he has ever
seemed to give to what was going forward in his family, that _he_ would
do as little, and think as little about it, as any father could do, in
such a matter."
"But can you think that Lydia is so lost to everything but love of him
as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage?"
"It does seem, and it is most shocking indeed," replied Elizabeth, with
tears in her eyes, "that a sister's sense of decency and virtue in such
a point should admit of doubt. But, really, I know not what to say.
Perhaps I am not doing her justice. But she is very young; she has never
been taught to think on serious subjects; and for the last half-year,
nay, for a twelvemonth--she has been given up to nothing but amusement
and vanity. She has been allowed to dispose of her time in the most idle
and frivolous manner, and to adopt any opinions that came in her way.
Since the ----shire were first quartered in Meryton, nothing but love,
flirtation, and officers have been in her head. She has been doing
everything in her power by thinking and talking on the subject, to give
greater--what shall I call it? susceptibility to her feelings; which are
naturally lively enough. And we all know that Wickham has every charm of
person and address that can captivate a woman."
"But you see that Jane," said her aunt, "does not think so very ill of
Wickham as to believe him capable of the attempt."
"Of whom does Jane ever think ill? And who is there, whatever might be
their former conduct, that she would think capable of such an attempt,
till it were proved against them? But Jane knows, as well as I do, what
Wickham really is. We both know that he has been profligate in every
sense of the word; that he has neither integrity nor honour; that he is
as false and deceitful as he is insinuating."
"And do you really know all this?" cried Mrs. Gardiner, whose curiosity
as to the mode of her intelligence was all alive.
"I do indeed," replied Elizabeth, colouring. "I told you, the other day,
of his infamous behaviour to Mr. Darcy; and you yourself, when last at
Longbourn, heard in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved
with such forbearance and liberality towards him. And there are other
circumstances which I am not at liberty--which it is not worth while to
relate; but his lies about the whole Pemberley family are endless. From
what he said of Miss Darcy I was thoroughly prepared to see a proud,
reserved, disagreeable girl. Yet he knew to the contrary himself. He
must know that she was as amiable and unpretending as we have found
her."
"But does Lydia know nothing of this? can she be ignorant of what you
and Jane seem so well to understand?"
"Oh, yes!--that, that is the worst of all. Till I was in Kent, and saw
so much both of Mr. Darcy and his relation Colonel Fitzwilliam, I was
ignorant of the truth myself. And when I returned home, the ----shire
was to leave Meryton in a week or fortnight's time. As that was the
case, neither Jane, to whom I related the whole, nor I, thought it
necessary to make our knowledge public; for of what use could
it apparently be to any one, that the good opinion which all the
neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown? And even when it was
settled that Lydia should go with Mrs. Forster, the necessity of opening
her eyes to his character never occurred to me. That _she_ could be
in any danger from the deception never entered my head. That such a
consequence as _this_ could ensue, you may easily believe, was far
enough from my thoughts."
"When they all removed to Brighton, therefore, you had no reason, I
suppose, to believe them fond of each other?"
"Not the slightest. I can remember no symptom of affection on either
side; and had anything of the kind been perceptible, you must be aware
that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown away. When first
he entered the corps, she was ready enough to admire him; but so we all
were. Every girl in or near Meryton was out of her senses about him for
the first two months; but he never distinguished _her_ by any particular
attention; and, consequently, after a moderate period of extravagant and
wild admiration, her fancy for him gave way, and others of the regiment,
who treated her with more distinction, again became her favourites."
                          * * * * *
It may be easily believed, that however little of novelty could be added
to their fears, hopes, and conjectures, on this interesting subject, by
its repeated discussion, no other could detain them from it long, during
the whole of the journey. From Elizabeth's thoughts it was never absent.
Fixed there by the keenest of all anguish, self-reproach, she could find
no interval of ease or forgetfulness.
They travelled as expeditiously as possible, and, sleeping one night
on the road, reached Longbourn by dinner time the next day. It was a
comfort to Elizabeth to consider that Jane could not have been wearied
by long expectations.
The little Gardiners, attracted by the sight of a chaise, were standing
on the steps of the house as they entered the paddock; and, when the
carriage drove up to the door, the joyful surprise that lighted up their
faces, and displayed itself over their whole bodies, in a variety of
capers and frisks, was the first pleasing earnest of their welcome.
Elizabeth jumped out; and, after giving each of them a hasty kiss,
hurried into the vestibule, where Jane, who came running down from her
mother's apartment, immediately met her.
Elizabeth, as she affectionately embraced her, whilst tears filled the
eyes of both, lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been
heard of the fugitives.
"Not yet," replied Jane. "But now that my dear uncle is come, I hope
everything will be well."
"Is my father in town?"
"Yes, he went on Tuesday, as I wrote you word."
"And have you heard from him often?"
"We have heard only twice. He wrote me a few lines on Wednesday to say
that he had arrived in safety, and to give me his directions, which I
particularly begged him to do. He merely added that he should not write
again till he had something of importance to mention."
"And my mother--how is she? How are you all?"
"My mother is tolerably well, I trust; though her spirits are greatly
shaken. She is up stairs and will have great satisfaction in seeing you
all. She does not yet leave her dressing-room. Mary and Kitty, thank
Heaven, are quite well."
"But you--how are you?" cried Elizabeth. "You look pale. How much you
must have gone through!"
Her sister, however, assured her of her being perfectly well; and their
conversation, which had been passing while Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were
engaged with their children, was now put an end to by the approach
of the whole party. Jane ran to her uncle and aunt, and welcomed and
thanked them both, with alternate smiles and tears.
When they were all in the drawing-room, the questions which Elizabeth
had already asked were of course repeated by the others, and they soon
found that Jane had no intelligence to give. The sanguine hope of
good, however, which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet
deserted her; she still expected that it would all end well, and that
every morning would bring some letter, either from Lydia or her father,
to explain their proceedings, and, perhaps, announce their marriage.
Mrs. Bennet, to whose apartment they all repaired, after a few minutes'
conversation together, received them exactly as might be expected; with
tears and lamentations of regret, invectives against the villainous
conduct of Wickham, and complaints of her own sufferings and ill-usage;
blaming everybody but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the
errors of her daughter must principally be owing.
"If I had been able," said she, "to carry my point in going to Brighton,
with all my family, _this_ would not have happened; but poor dear Lydia
had nobody to take care of her. Why did the Forsters ever let her go out
of their sight? I am sure there was some great neglect or other on their
side, for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been
well looked after. I always thought they were very unfit to have the
charge of her; but I was overruled, as I always am. Poor dear child!
And now here's Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham,
wherever he meets him and then he will be killed, and what is to become
of us all? The Collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his
grave, and if you are not kind to us, brother, I do not know what we
shall do."
They all exclaimed against such terrific ideas; and Mr. Gardiner, after
general assurances of his affection for her and all her family, told her
that he meant to be in London the very next day, and would assist Mr.
Bennet in every endeavour for recovering Lydia.
"Do not give way to useless alarm," added he; "though it is right to be
prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain.
It is not quite a week since they left Brighton. In a few days more we
may gain some news of them; and till we know that they are not married,
and have no design of marrying, do not let us give the matter over as
lost. As soon as I get to town I shall go to my brother, and make
him come home with me to Gracechurch Street; and then we may consult
together as to what is to be done."
"Oh! my dear brother," replied Mrs. Bennet, "that is exactly what I
could most wish for. And now do, when you get to town, find them out,
wherever they may be; and if they are not married already, _make_ them
marry. And as for wedding clothes, do not let them wait for that, but
tell Lydia she shall have as much money as she chooses to buy them,
after they are married. And, above all, keep Mr. Bennet from fighting.
Tell him what a dreadful state I am in, that I am frighted out of my
wits--and have such tremblings, such flutterings, all over me--such
spasms in my side and pains in my head, and such beatings at heart, that
I can get no rest by night nor by day. And tell my dear Lydia not to
give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me, for she does
not know which are the best warehouses. Oh, brother, how kind you are! I
know you will contrive it all."
But Mr. Gardiner, though he assured her again of his earnest endeavours
in the cause, could not avoid recommending moderation to her, as well
in her hopes as her fear; and after talking with her in this manner till
dinner was on the table, they all left her to vent all her feelings on
the housekeeper, who attended in the absence of her daughters.
Though her brother and sister were persuaded that there was no real
occasion for such a seclusion from the family, they did not attempt to
oppose it, for they knew that she had not prudence enough to hold her
tongue before the servants, while they waited at table, and judged it
better that _one_ only of the household, and the one whom they could
most trust should comprehend all her fears and solicitude on the
subject.
In the dining-room they were soon joined by Mary and Kitty, who had been
too busily engaged in their separate apartments to make their appearance
before. One came from her books, and the other from her toilette. The
faces of both, however, were tolerably calm; and no change was visible
in either, except that the loss of her favourite sister, or the anger
which she had herself incurred in this business, had given more of
fretfulness than usual to the accents of Kitty. As for Mary, she was
mistress enough of herself to whisper to Elizabeth, with a countenance
of grave reflection, soon after they were seated at table:
"This is a most unfortunate affair, and will probably be much talked of.
But we must stem the tide of malice, and pour into the wounded bosoms of
each other the balm of sisterly consolation."
Then, perceiving in Elizabeth no inclination of replying, she added,
"Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful
lesson: that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable; that one
false step involves her in endless ruin; that her reputation is no less
brittle than it is beautiful; and that she cannot be too much guarded in
her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex."
Elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement, but was too much oppressed
to make any reply. Mary, however, continued to console herself with such
kind of moral extractions from the evil before them.
In the afternoon, the two elder Miss Bennets were able to be for
half-an-hour by themselves; and Elizabeth instantly availed herself of
the opportunity of making any inquiries, which Jane was equally eager to
satisfy. After joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel
of this event, which Elizabeth considered as all but certain, and Miss
Bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible, the former continued
the subject, by saying, "But tell me all and everything about it which
I have not already heard. Give me further particulars. What did Colonel
Forster say? Had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement
took place? They must have seen them together for ever."
"Colonel Forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality,
especially on Lydia's side, but nothing to give him any alarm. I am so
grieved for him! His behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost. He
_was_ coming to us, in order to assure us of his concern, before he had
any idea of their not being gone to Scotland: when that apprehension
first got abroad, it hastened his journey."
"And was Denny convinced that Wickham would not marry? Did he know of
their intending to go off? Had Colonel Forster seen Denny himself?"
"Yes; but, when questioned by _him_, Denny denied knowing anything of
their plans, and would not give his real opinion about it. He did not
repeat his persuasion of their not marrying--and from _that_, I am
inclined to hope, he might have been misunderstood before."
"And till Colonel Forster came himself, not one of you entertained a
doubt, I suppose, of their being really married?"
"How was it possible that such an idea should enter our brains? I felt
a little uneasy--a little fearful of my sister's happiness with him
in marriage, because I knew that his conduct had not been always quite
right. My father and mother knew nothing of that; they only felt how
imprudent a match it must be. Kitty then owned, with a very natural
triumph on knowing more than the rest of us, that in Lydia's last letter
she had prepared her for such a step. She had known, it seems, of their
being in love with each other, many weeks."
"But not before they went to Brighton?"
"No, I believe not."
"And did Colonel Forster appear to think well of Wickham himself? Does
he know his real character?"
"I must confess that he did not speak so well of Wickham as he formerly
did. He believed him to be imprudent and extravagant. And since this sad
affair has taken place, it is said that he left Meryton greatly in debt;
but I hope this may be false."
"Oh, Jane, had we been less secret, had we told what we knew of him,
this could not have happened!"
"Perhaps it would have been better," replied her sister. "But to expose
the former faults of any person without knowing what their present
feelings were, seemed unjustifiable. We acted with the best intentions."
"Could Colonel Forster repeat the particulars of Lydia's note to his
wife?"
"He brought it with him for us to see."
Jane then took it from her pocket-book, and gave it to Elizabeth. These
were the contents:
"MY DEAR HARRIET,
"You will laugh when you know where I am gone, and I cannot help
laughing myself at your surprise to-morrow morning, as soon as I am
missed. I am going to Gretna Green, and if you cannot guess with who,
I shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world I
love, and he is an angel. I should never be happy without him, so think
it no harm to be off. You need not send them word at Longbourn of my
going, if you do not like it, for it will make the surprise the greater,
when I write to them and sign my name 'Lydia Wickham.' What a good joke
it will be! I can hardly write for laughing. Pray make my excuses to
Pratt for not keeping my engagement, and dancing with him to-night.
Tell him I hope he will excuse me when he knows all; and tell him I will
dance with him at the next ball we meet, with great pleasure. I shall
send for my clothes when I get to Longbourn; but I wish you would tell
Sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are
packed up. Good-bye. Give my love to Colonel Forster. I hope you will
drink to our good journey.
"Your affectionate friend,
"LYDIA BENNET."
"Oh! thoughtless, thoughtless Lydia!" cried Elizabeth when she had
finished it. "What a letter is this, to be written at such a moment!
But at least it shows that _she_ was serious on the subject of their
journey. Whatever he might afterwards persuade her to, it was not on her
side a _scheme_ of infamy. My poor father! how he must have felt it!"
"I never saw anyone so shocked. He could not speak a word for full ten
minutes. My mother was taken ill immediately, and the whole house in
such confusion!"
"Oh! Jane," cried Elizabeth, "was there a servant belonging to it who
did not know the whole story before the end of the day?"
"I do not know. I hope there was. But to be guarded at such a time is
very difficult. My mother was in hysterics, and though I endeavoured to
give her every assistance in my power, I am afraid I did not do so
much as I might have done! But the horror of what might possibly happen
almost took from me my faculties."
"Your attendance upon her has been too much for you. You do not look
well. Oh that I had been with you! you have had every care and anxiety
upon yourself alone."
"Mary and Kitty have been very kind, and would have shared in every
fatigue, I am sure; but I did not think it right for either of them.
Kitty is slight and delicate; and Mary studies so much, that her hours
of repose should not be broken in on. My aunt Phillips came to Longbourn
on Tuesday, after my father went away; and was so good as to stay till
Thursday with me. She was of great use and comfort to us all. And
Lady Lucas has been very kind; she walked here on Wednesday morning to
condole with us, and offered her services, or any of her daughters', if
they should be of use to us."
"She had better have stayed at home," cried Elizabeth; "perhaps she
_meant_ well, but, under such a misfortune as this, one cannot see
too little of one's neighbours. Assistance is impossible; condolence
insufferable. Let them triumph over us at a distance, and be satisfied."
She then proceeded to inquire into the measures which her father had
intended to pursue, while in town, for the recovery of his daughter.
"He meant I believe," replied Jane, "to go to Epsom, the place where
they last changed horses, see the postilions and try if anything could
be made out from them. His principal object must be to discover the
number of the hackney coach which took them from Clapham. It had come
with a fare from London; and as he thought that the circumstance of a
gentleman and lady's removing from one carriage into another might
be remarked he meant to make inquiries at Clapham. If he could anyhow
discover at what house the coachman had before set down his fare, he
determined to make inquiries there, and hoped it might not be impossible
to find out the stand and number of the coach. I do not know of any
other designs that he had formed; but he was in such a hurry to be gone,
and his spirits so greatly discomposed, that I had difficulty in finding
out even so much as this."
Chapter 48
The whole party were in hopes of a letter from Mr. Bennet the next
morning, but the post came in without bringing a single line from him.
His family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and
dilatory correspondent; but at such a time they had hoped for exertion.
They were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to
send; but even of _that_ they would have been glad to be certain. Mr.
Gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off.
When he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving constant
information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting,
to prevail on Mr. Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could,
to the great consolation of his sister, who considered it as the only
security for her husband's not being killed in a duel.
Mrs. Gardiner and the children were to remain in Hertfordshire a few
days longer, as the former thought her presence might be serviceable
to her nieces. She shared in their attendance on Mrs. Bennet, and was a
great comfort to them in their hours of freedom. Their other aunt also
visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of
cheering and heartening them up--though, as she never came without
reporting some fresh instance of Wickham's extravagance or irregularity,
she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found
them.
All Meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who, but three months
before, had been almost an angel of light. He was declared to be in debt
to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with
the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman's family.
Everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world;
and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the
appearance of his goodness. Elizabeth, though she did not credit above
half of what was said, believed enough to make her former assurance of
her sister's ruin more certain; and even Jane, who believed still less
of it, became almost hopeless, more especially as the time was now come
when, if they had gone to Scotland, which she had never before entirely
despaired of, they must in all probability have gained some news of
them.
Mr. Gardiner left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his wife received a
letter from him; it told them that, on his arrival, he had immediately
found out his brother, and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street;
that Mr. Bennet had been to Epsom and Clapham, before his arrival,
but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now
determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as Mr. Bennet
thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first
coming to London, before they procured lodgings. Mr. Gardiner himself
did not expect any success from this measure, but as his brother was
eager in it, he meant to assist him in pursuing it. He added that Mr.
Bennet seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave London and promised
to write again very soon. There was also a postscript to this effect:
"I have written to Colonel Forster to desire him to find out, if
possible, from some of the young man's intimates in the regiment,
whether Wickham has any relations or connections who would be likely to
know in what part of town he has now concealed himself. If there were
anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a
clue as that, it might be of essential consequence. At present we have
nothing to guide us. Colonel Forster will, I dare say, do everything in
his power to satisfy us on this head. But, on second thoughts, perhaps,
Lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living, better than any
other person."
Elizabeth was at no loss to understand from whence this deference to her
authority proceeded; but it was not in her power to give any information
of so satisfactory a nature as the compliment deserved. She had never
heard of his having had any relations, except a father and mother, both
of whom had been dead many years. It was possible, however, that some of
his companions in the ----shire might be able to give more information;
and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it, the application
was a something to look forward to.
Every day at Longbourn was now a day of anxiety; but the most anxious
part of each was when the post was expected. The arrival of letters
was the grand object of every morning's impatience. Through letters,
whatever of good or bad was to be told would be communicated, and every
succeeding day was expected to bring some news of importance.
But before they heard again from Mr. Gardiner, a letter arrived for
their father, from a different quarter, from Mr. Collins; which, as Jane
had received directions to open all that came for him in his absence,
she accordingly read; and Elizabeth, who knew what curiosities his
letters always were, looked over her, and read it likewise. It was as
follows:
"MY DEAR SIR,
"I feel myself called upon, by our relationship, and my situation
in life, to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now
suffering under, of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from
Hertfordshire. Be assured, my dear sir, that Mrs. Collins and myself
sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family, in
your present distress, which must be of the bitterest kind, because
proceeding from a cause which no time can remove. No arguments shall be
wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortune--or that
may comfort you, under a circumstance that must be of all others the
most afflicting to a parent's mind. The death of your daughter would
have been a blessing in comparison of this. And it is the more to
be lamented, because there is reason to suppose as my dear Charlotte
informs me, that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter has
proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence; though, at the same time,
for the consolation of yourself and Mrs. Bennet, I am inclined to think
that her own disposition must be naturally bad, or she could not be
guilty of such an enormity, at so early an age. Howsoever that may be,
you are grievously to be pitied; in which opinion I am not only joined
by Mrs. Collins, but likewise by Lady Catherine and her daughter, to
whom I have related the affair. They agree with me in apprehending that
this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of
all the others; for who, as Lady Catherine herself condescendingly says,
will connect themselves with such a family? And this consideration leads
me moreover to reflect, with augmented satisfaction, on a certain event
of last November; for had it been otherwise, I must have been involved
in all your sorrow and disgrace. Let me then advise you, dear sir, to
console yourself as much as possible, to throw off your unworthy child
from your affection for ever, and leave her to reap the fruits of her
own heinous offense.
"I am, dear sir, etc., etc."
Mr. Gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from
Colonel Forster; and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send.
It was not known that Wickham had a single relationship with whom he
kept up any connection, and it was certain that he had no near one
living. His former acquaintances had been numerous; but since he
had been in the militia, it did not appear that he was on terms of
particular friendship with any of them. There was no one, therefore,
who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him. And in the
wretched state of his own finances, there was a very powerful motive for
secrecy, in addition to his fear of discovery by Lydia's relations, for
it had just transpired that he had left gaming debts behind him to a
very considerable amount. Colonel Forster believed that more than a
thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expenses at Brighton.
He owed a good deal in town, but his debts of honour were still more
formidable. Mr. Gardiner did not attempt to conceal these particulars
from the Longbourn family. Jane heard them with horror. "A gamester!"
she cried. "This is wholly unexpected. I had not an idea of it."
Mr. Gardiner added in his letter, that they might expect to see their
father at home on the following day, which was Saturday. Rendered
spiritless by the ill-success of all their endeavours, he had yielded
to his brother-in-law's entreaty that he would return to his family, and
leave it to him to do whatever occasion might suggest to be advisable
for continuing their pursuit. When Mrs. Bennet was told of this, she did
not express so much satisfaction as her children expected, considering
what her anxiety for his life had been before.
"What, is he coming home, and without poor Lydia?" she cried. "Sure he
will not leave London before he has found them. Who is to fight Wickham,
and make him marry her, if he comes away?"
As Mrs. Gardiner began to wish to be at home, it was settled that she
and the children should go to London, at the same time that Mr. Bennet
came from it. The coach, therefore, took them the first stage of their
journey, and brought its master back to Longbourn.
Mrs. Gardiner went away in all the perplexity about Elizabeth and her
Derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world. His
name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece; and
the kind of half-expectation which Mrs. Gardiner had formed, of their
being followed by a letter from him, had ended in nothing. Elizabeth had
received none since her return that could come from Pemberley.
The present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for
the lowness of her spirits unnecessary; nothing, therefore, could be
fairly conjectured from _that_, though Elizabeth, who was by this time
tolerably well acquainted with her own feelings, was perfectly aware
that, had she known nothing of Darcy, she could have borne the dread of
Lydia's infamy somewhat better. It would have spared her, she thought,
one sleepless night out of two.
When Mr. Bennet arrived, he had all the appearance of his usual
philosophic composure. He said as little as he had ever been in the
habit of saying; made no mention of the business that had taken him
away, and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of
it.
It was not till the afternoon, when he had joined them at tea, that
Elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject; and then, on her briefly
expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured, he replied, "Say
nothing of that. Who should suffer but myself? It has been my own doing,
and I ought to feel it."
"You must not be too severe upon yourself," replied Elizabeth.
"You may well warn me against such an evil. Human nature is so prone
to fall into it! No, Lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much I have
been to blame. I am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression.
It will pass away soon enough."
"Do you suppose them to be in London?"
"Yes; where else can they be so well concealed?"
"And Lydia used to want to go to London," added Kitty.
"She is happy then," said her father drily; "and her residence there
will probably be of some duration."
Then after a short silence he continued:
"Lizzy, I bear you no ill-will for being justified in your advice to me
last May, which, considering the event, shows some greatness of mind."
They were interrupted by Miss Bennet, who came to fetch her mother's
tea.
"This is a parade," he cried, "which does one good; it gives such an
elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same; I will sit in my
library, in my nightcap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as
I can; or, perhaps, I may defer it till Kitty runs away."
"I am not going to run away, papa," said Kitty fretfully. "If I should
ever go to Brighton, I would behave better than Lydia."
"_You_ go to Brighton. I would not trust you so near it as Eastbourne
for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at last learnt to be cautious, and
you will feel the effects of it. No officer is ever to enter into
my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be
absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters.
And you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have
spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner."
Kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.
"Well, well," said he, "do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good
girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of
them."
Chapter 49
Two days after Mr. Bennet's return, as Jane and Elizabeth were walking
together in the shrubbery behind the house, they saw the housekeeper
coming towards them, and, concluding that she came to call them to their
mother, went forward to meet her; but, instead of the expected summons,
when they approached her, she said to Miss Bennet, "I beg your pardon,
madam, for interrupting you, but I was in hopes you might have got some
good news from town, so I took the liberty of coming to ask."
"What do you mean, Hill? We have heard nothing from town."
"Dear madam," cried Mrs. Hill, in great astonishment, "don't you know
there is an express come for master from Mr. Gardiner? He has been here
this half-hour, and master has had a letter."
Away ran the girls, too eager to get in to have time for speech. They
ran through the vestibule into the breakfast-room; from thence to the
library; their father was in neither; and they were on the point of
seeking him up stairs with their mother, when they were met by the
butler, who said:
"If you are looking for my master, ma'am, he is walking towards the
little copse."
Upon this information, they instantly passed through the hall once
more, and ran across the lawn after their father, who was deliberately
pursuing his way towards a small wood on one side of the paddock.
Jane, who was not so light nor so much in the habit of running as
Elizabeth, soon lagged behind, while her sister, panting for breath,
came up with him, and eagerly cried out:
"Oh, papa, what news--what news? Have you heard from my uncle?"
"Yes I have had a letter from him by express."
"Well, and what news does it bring--good or bad?"
"What is there of good to be expected?" said he, taking the letter from
his pocket. "But perhaps you would like to read it."
Elizabeth impatiently caught it from his hand. Jane now came up.
"Read it aloud," said their father, "for I hardly know myself what it is
about."
"Gracechurch Street, Monday, August 2.
"MY DEAR BROTHER,
"At last I am able to send you some tidings of my niece, and such as,
upon the whole, I hope it will give you satisfaction. Soon after you
left me on Saturday, I was fortunate enough to find out in what part of
London they were. The particulars I reserve till we meet; it is enough
to know they are discovered. I have seen them both--"
"Then it is as I always hoped," cried Jane; "they are married!"
Elizabeth read on:
"I have seen them both. They are not married, nor can I find there
was any intention of being so; but if you are willing to perform the
engagements which I have ventured to make on your side, I hope it will
not be long before they are. All that is required of you is, to assure
to your daughter, by settlement, her equal share of the five thousand
pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and
my sister; and, moreover, to enter into an engagement of allowing her,
during your life, one hundred pounds per annum. These are conditions
which, considering everything, I had no hesitation in complying with,
as far as I thought myself privileged, for you. I shall send this by
express, that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer. You
will easily comprehend, from these particulars, that Mr. Wickham's
circumstances are not so hopeless as they are generally believed to be.
The world has been deceived in that respect; and I am happy to say there
will be some little money, even when all his debts are discharged, to
settle on my niece, in addition to her own fortune. If, as I conclude
will be the case, you send me full powers to act in your name throughout
the whole of this business, I will immediately give directions to
Haggerston for preparing a proper settlement. There will not be the
smallest occasion for your coming to town again; therefore stay quiet at
Longbourn, and depend on my diligence and care. Send back your answer as
fast as you can, and be careful to write explicitly. We have judged it
best that my niece should be married from this house, of which I hope
you will approve. She comes to us to-day. I shall write again as soon as
anything more is determined on. Yours, etc.,
"EDW. GARDINER."
"Is it possible?" cried Elizabeth, when she had finished. "Can it be
possible that he will marry her?"
"Wickham is not so undeserving, then, as we thought him," said her
sister. "My dear father, I congratulate you."
"And have you answered the letter?" cried Elizabeth.
"No; but it must be done soon."
Most earnestly did she then entreat him to lose no more time before he
wrote.
"Oh! my dear father," she cried, "come back and write immediately.
Consider how important every moment is in such a case."
"Let me write for you," said Jane, "if you dislike the trouble
yourself."
"I dislike it very much," he replied; "but it must be done."
And so saying, he turned back with them, and walked towards the house.
"And may I ask--" said Elizabeth; "but the terms, I suppose, must be
complied with."
"Complied with! I am only ashamed of his asking so little."
"And they _must_ marry! Yet he is _such_ a man!"
"Yes, yes, they must marry. There is nothing else to be done. But there
are two things that I want very much to know; one is, how much money
your uncle has laid down to bring it about; and the other, how am I ever
to pay him."
"Money! My uncle!" cried Jane, "what do you mean, sir?"
"I mean, that no man in his senses would marry Lydia on so slight a
temptation as one hundred a year during my life, and fifty after I am
gone."
"That is very true," said Elizabeth; "though it had not occurred to me
before. His debts to be discharged, and something still to remain! Oh!
it must be my uncle's doings! Generous, good man, I am afraid he has
distressed himself. A small sum could not do all this."
"No," said her father; "Wickham's a fool if he takes her with a farthing
less than ten thousand pounds. I should be sorry to think so ill of him,
in the very beginning of our relationship."
"Ten thousand pounds! Heaven forbid! How is half such a sum to be
repaid?"
Mr. Bennet made no answer, and each of them, deep in thought, continued
silent till they reached the house. Their father then went on to the
library to write, and the girls walked into the breakfast-room.
"And they are really to be married!" cried Elizabeth, as soon as they
were by themselves. "How strange this is! And for _this_ we are to be
thankful. That they should marry, small as is their chance of happiness,
and wretched as is his character, we are forced to rejoice. Oh, Lydia!"
"I comfort myself with thinking," replied Jane, "that he certainly would
not marry Lydia if he had not a real regard for her. Though our kind
uncle has done something towards clearing him, I cannot believe that ten
thousand pounds, or anything like it, has been advanced. He has children
of his own, and may have more. How could he spare half ten thousand
pounds?"
"If he were ever able to learn what Wickham's debts have been," said
Elizabeth, "and how much is settled on his side on our sister, we shall
exactly know what Mr. Gardiner has done for them, because Wickham has
not sixpence of his own. The kindness of my uncle and aunt can never
be requited. Their taking her home, and affording her their personal
protection and countenance, is such a sacrifice to her advantage as
years of gratitude cannot enough acknowledge. By this time she is
actually with them! If such goodness does not make her miserable now,
she will never deserve to be happy! What a meeting for her, when she
first sees my aunt!"
"We must endeavour to forget all that has passed on either side," said
Jane: "I hope and trust they will yet be happy. His consenting to
marry her is a proof, I will believe, that he is come to a right way of
thinking. Their mutual affection will steady them; and I flatter myself
they will settle so quietly, and live in so rational a manner, as may in
time make their past imprudence forgotten."
"Their conduct has been such," replied Elizabeth, "as neither you, nor
I, nor anybody can ever forget. It is useless to talk of it."
It now occurred to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood
perfectly ignorant of what had happened. They went to the library,
therefore, and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make
it known to her. He was writing and, without raising his head, coolly
replied:
"Just as you please."
"May we take my uncle's letter to read to her?"
"Take whatever you like, and get away."
Elizabeth took the letter from his writing-table, and they went up stairs
together. Mary and Kitty were both with Mrs. Bennet: one communication
would, therefore, do for all. After a slight preparation for good news,
the letter was read aloud. Mrs. Bennet could hardly contain herself. As
soon as Jane had read Mr. Gardiner's hope of Lydia's being soon
married, her joy burst forth, and every following sentence added to its
exuberance. She was now in an irritation as violent from delight, as she
had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation. To know that her daughter
would be married was enough. She was disturbed by no fear for her
felicity, nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct.
"My dear, dear Lydia!" she cried. "This is delightful indeed! She will
be married! I shall see her again! She will be married at sixteen!
My good, kind brother! I knew how it would be. I knew he would manage
everything! How I long to see her! and to see dear Wickham too! But the
clothes, the wedding clothes! I will write to my sister Gardiner about
them directly. Lizzy, my dear, run down to your father, and ask him
how much he will give her. Stay, stay, I will go myself. Ring the bell,
Kitty, for Hill. I will put on my things in a moment. My dear, dear
Lydia! How merry we shall be together when we meet!"
Her eldest daughter endeavoured to give some relief to the violence of
these transports, by leading her thoughts to the obligations which Mr.
Gardiner's behaviour laid them all under.
"For we must attribute this happy conclusion," she added, "in a great
measure to his kindness. We are persuaded that he has pledged himself to
assist Mr. Wickham with money."
"Well," cried her mother, "it is all very right; who should do it but
her own uncle? If he had not had a family of his own, I and my children
must have had all his money, you know; and it is the first time we have
ever had anything from him, except a few presents. Well! I am so happy!
In a short time I shall have a daughter married. Mrs. Wickham! How well
it sounds! And she was only sixteen last June. My dear Jane, I am in
such a flutter, that I am sure I can't write; so I will dictate, and
you write for me. We will settle with your father about the money
afterwards; but the things should be ordered immediately."
She was then proceeding to all the particulars of calico, muslin, and
cambric, and would shortly have dictated some very plentiful orders, had
not Jane, though with some difficulty, persuaded her to wait till her
father was at leisure to be consulted. One day's delay, she observed,
would be of small importance; and her mother was too happy to be quite
so obstinate as usual. Other schemes, too, came into her head.
"I will go to Meryton," said she, "as soon as I am dressed, and tell the
good, good news to my sister Philips. And as I come back, I can call
on Lady Lucas and Mrs. Long. Kitty, run down and order the carriage.
An airing would do me a great deal of good, I am sure. Girls, can I do
anything for you in Meryton? Oh! Here comes Hill! My dear Hill, have you
heard the good news? Miss Lydia is going to be married; and you shall
all have a bowl of punch to make merry at her wedding."
Mrs. Hill began instantly to express her joy. Elizabeth received her
congratulations amongst the rest, and then, sick of this folly, took
refuge in her own room, that she might think with freedom.
Poor Lydia's situation must, at best, be bad enough; but that it was
no worse, she had need to be thankful. She felt it so; and though, in
looking forward, neither rational happiness nor worldly prosperity could
be justly expected for her sister, in looking back to what they had
feared, only two hours ago, she felt all the advantages of what they had
gained.
Chapter 50
Mr. Bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that,
instead of spending his whole income, he had laid by an annual sum for
the better provision of his children, and of his wife, if she survived
him. He now wished it more than ever. Had he done his duty in that
respect, Lydia need not have been indebted to her uncle for whatever
of honour or credit could now be purchased for her. The satisfaction of
prevailing on one of the most worthless young men in Great Britain to be
her husband might then have rested in its proper place.
He was seriously concerned that a cause of so little advantage to anyone
should be forwarded at the sole expense of his brother-in-law, and he
was determined, if possible, to find out the extent of his assistance,
and to discharge the obligation as soon as he could.
When first Mr. Bennet had married, economy was held to be perfectly
useless, for, of course, they were to have a son. The son was to join
in cutting off the entail, as soon as he should be of age, and the widow
and younger children would by that means be provided for. Five daughters
successively entered the world, but yet the son was to come; and Mrs.
Bennet, for many years after Lydia's birth, had been certain that he
would. This event had at last been despaired of, but it was then
too late to be saving. Mrs. Bennet had no turn for economy, and her
husband's love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their
income.
Five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on Mrs. Bennet and
the children. But in what proportions it should be divided amongst the
latter depended on the will of the parents. This was one point, with
regard to Lydia, at least, which was now to be settled, and Mr. Bennet
could have no hesitation in acceding to the proposal before him. In
terms of grateful acknowledgment for the kindness of his brother,
though expressed most concisely, he then delivered on paper his perfect
approbation of all that was done, and his willingness to fulfil the
engagements that had been made for him. He had never before supposed
that, could Wickham be prevailed on to marry his daughter, it would
be done with so little inconvenience to himself as by the present
arrangement. He would scarcely be ten pounds a year the loser by the
hundred that was to be paid them; for, what with her board and pocket
allowance, and the continual presents in money which passed to her
through her mother's hands, Lydia's expenses had been very little within
that sum.
That it would be done with such trifling exertion on his side, too, was
another very welcome surprise; for his wish at present was to have as
little trouble in the business as possible. When the first transports
of rage which had produced his activity in seeking her were over, he
naturally returned to all his former indolence. His letter was soon
dispatched; for, though dilatory in undertaking business, he was quick
in its execution. He begged to know further particulars of what he
was indebted to his brother, but was too angry with Lydia to send any
message to her.
The good news spread quickly through the house, and with proportionate
speed through the neighbourhood. It was borne in the latter with decent
philosophy. To be sure, it would have been more for the advantage
of conversation had Miss Lydia Bennet come upon the town; or, as the
happiest alternative, been secluded from the world, in some distant
farmhouse. But there was much to be talked of in marrying her; and the
good-natured wishes for her well-doing which had proceeded before from
all the spiteful old ladies in Meryton lost but a little of their spirit
in this change of circumstances, because with such an husband her misery
was considered certain.
It was a fortnight since Mrs. Bennet had been downstairs; but on this
happy day she again took her seat at the head of her table, and in
spirits oppressively high. No sentiment of shame gave a damp to her
triumph. The marriage of a daughter, which had been the first object
of her wishes since Jane was sixteen, was now on the point of
accomplishment, and her thoughts and her words ran wholly on those
attendants of elegant nuptials, fine muslins, new carriages, and
servants. She was busily searching through the neighbourhood for a
proper situation for her daughter, and, without knowing or considering
what their income might be, rejected many as deficient in size and
importance.
"Haye Park might do," said she, "if the Gouldings could quit it--or the
great house at Stoke, if the drawing-room were larger; but Ashworth is
too far off! I could not bear to have her ten miles from me; and as for
Pulvis Lodge, the attics are dreadful."
Her husband allowed her to talk on without interruption while the
servants remained. But when they had withdrawn, he said to her: "Mrs.
Bennet, before you take any or all of these houses for your son and
daughter, let us come to a right understanding. Into _one_ house in this
neighbourhood they shall never have admittance. I will not encourage the
impudence of either, by receiving them at Longbourn."
A long dispute followed this declaration; but Mr. Bennet was firm. It
soon led to another; and Mrs. Bennet found, with amazement and horror,
that her husband would not advance a guinea to buy clothes for his
daughter. He protested that she should receive from him no mark of
affection whatever on the occasion. Mrs. Bennet could hardly comprehend
it. That his anger could be carried to such a point of inconceivable
resentment as to refuse his daughter a privilege without which her
marriage would scarcely seem valid, exceeded all she could believe
possible. She was more alive to the disgrace which her want of new
clothes must reflect on her daughter's nuptials, than to any sense of
shame at her eloping and living with Wickham a fortnight before they
took place.
Elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had, from the distress of
the moment, been led to make Mr. Darcy acquainted with their fears for
her sister; for since her marriage would so shortly give the
proper termination to the elopement, they might hope to conceal its
unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the
spot.
She had no fear of its spreading farther through his means. There were
few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended;
but, at the same time, there was no one whose knowledge of a sister's
frailty would have mortified her so much--not, however, from any fear
of disadvantage from it individually to herself, for, at any rate,
there seemed a gulf impassable between them. Had Lydia's marriage been
concluded on the most honourable terms, it was not to be supposed that
Mr. Darcy would connect himself with a family where, to every other
objection, would now be added an alliance and relationship of the
nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned.
From such a connection she could not wonder that he would shrink. The
wish of procuring her regard, which she had assured herself of his
feeling in Derbyshire, could not in rational expectation survive such a
blow as this. She was humbled, she was grieved; she repented, though she
hardly knew of what. She became jealous of his esteem, when she could no
longer hope to be benefited by it. She wanted to hear of him, when there
seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence. She was convinced that
she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they
should meet.
What a triumph for him, as she often thought, could he know that the
proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago, would now
have been most gladly and gratefully received! He was as generous, she
doubted not, as the most generous of his sex; but while he was mortal,
there must be a triumph.
She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in
disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and
temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It
was an union that must have been to the advantage of both; by her ease
and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved;
and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she
must have received benefit of greater importance.
But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what
connubial felicity really was. An union of a different tendency, and
precluding the possibility of the other, was soon to be formed in their
family.
How Wickham and Lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence,
she could not imagine. But how little of permanent happiness could
belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions
were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture.
                          * * * * *
Mr. Gardiner soon wrote again to his brother. To Mr. Bennet's
acknowledgments he briefly replied, with assurance of his eagerness to
promote the welfare of any of his family; and concluded with entreaties
that the subject might never be mentioned to him again. The principal
purport of his letter was to inform them that Mr. Wickham had resolved
on quitting the militia.
"It was greatly my wish that he should do so," he added, "as soon as
his marriage was fixed on. And I think you will agree with me, in
considering the removal from that corps as highly advisable, both on
his account and my niece's. It is Mr. Wickham's intention to go into
the regulars; and among his former friends, there are still some who
are able and willing to assist him in the army. He has the promise of an
ensigncy in General ----'s regiment, now quartered in the North. It
is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom. He
promises fairly; and I hope among different people, where they may each
have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent. I have
written to Colonel Forster, to inform him of our present arrangements,
and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of Mr. Wickham
in and near Brighton, with assurances of speedy payment, for which I
have pledged myself. And will you give yourself the trouble of carrying
similar assurances to his creditors in Meryton, of whom I shall subjoin
a list according to his information? He has given in all his debts; I
hope at least he has not deceived us. Haggerston has our directions,
and all will be completed in a week. They will then join his regiment,
unless they are first invited to Longbourn; and I understand from Mrs.
Gardiner, that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she
leaves the South. She is well, and begs to be dutifully remembered to
you and her mother.--Yours, etc.,
"E. GARDINER."
Mr. Bennet and his daughters saw all the advantages of Wickham's removal
from the ----shire as clearly as Mr. Gardiner could do. But Mrs. Bennet
was not so well pleased with it. Lydia's being settled in the North,
just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in her company,
for she had by no means given up her plan of their residing in
Hertfordshire, was a severe disappointment; and, besides, it was such a
pity that Lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted
with everybody, and had so many favourites.
"She is so fond of Mrs. Forster," said she, "it will be quite shocking
to send her away! And there are several of the young men, too, that she
likes very much. The officers may not be so pleasant in General ----'s
regiment."
His daughter's request, for such it might be considered, of being
admitted into her family again before she set off for the North,
received at first an absolute negative. But Jane and Elizabeth,
who agreed in wishing, for the sake of their sister's feelings and
consequence, that she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents,
urged him so earnestly yet so rationally and so mildly, to receive her
and her husband at Longbourn, as soon as they were married, that he was
prevailed on to think as they thought, and act as they wished. And their
mother had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show
her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished to the
North. When Mr. Bennet wrote again to his brother, therefore, he sent
his permission for them to come; and it was settled, that as soon as
the ceremony was over, they should proceed to Longbourn. Elizabeth was
surprised, however, that Wickham should consent to such a scheme, and
had she consulted only her own inclination, any meeting with him would
have been the last object of her wishes.
Chapter 51
Their sister's wedding day arrived; and Jane and Elizabeth felt for her
probably more than she felt for herself. The carriage was sent to
meet them at ----, and they were to return in it by dinner-time. Their
arrival was dreaded by the elder Miss Bennets, and Jane more especially,
who gave Lydia the feelings which would have attended herself, had she
been the culprit, and was wretched in the thought of what her sister
must endure.
They came. The family were assembled in the breakfast room to receive
them. Smiles decked the face of Mrs. Bennet as the carriage drove up to
the door; her husband looked impenetrably grave; her daughters, alarmed,
anxious, uneasy.
Lydia's voice was heard in the vestibule; the door was thrown open, and
she ran into the room. Her mother stepped forwards, embraced her, and
welcomed her with rapture; gave her hand, with an affectionate smile,
to Wickham, who followed his lady; and wished them both joy with an
alacrity which shewed no doubt of their happiness.
Their reception from Mr. Bennet, to whom they then turned, was not quite
so cordial. His countenance rather gained in austerity; and he scarcely
opened his lips. The easy assurance of the young couple, indeed, was
enough to provoke him. Elizabeth was disgusted, and even Miss Bennet
was shocked. Lydia was Lydia still; untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy,
and fearless. She turned from sister to sister, demanding their
congratulations; and when at length they all sat down, looked eagerly
round the room, took notice of some little alteration in it, and
observed, with a laugh, that it was a great while since she had been
there.
Wickham was not at all more distressed than herself, but his manners
were always so pleasing, that had his character and his marriage been
exactly what they ought, his smiles and his easy address, while he
claimed their relationship, would have delighted them all. Elizabeth had
not before believed him quite equal to such assurance; but she sat down,
resolving within herself to draw no limits in future to the impudence
of an impudent man. She blushed, and Jane blushed; but the cheeks of the
two who caused their confusion suffered no variation of colour.
There was no want of discourse. The bride and her mother could neither
of them talk fast enough; and Wickham, who happened to sit near
Elizabeth, began inquiring after his acquaintance in that neighbourhood,
with a good humoured ease which she felt very unable to equal in her
replies. They seemed each of them to have the happiest memories in the
world. Nothing of the past was recollected with pain; and Lydia led
voluntarily to subjects which her sisters would not have alluded to for
the world.
"Only think of its being three months," she cried, "since I went away;
it seems but a fortnight I declare; and yet there have been things
enough happened in the time. Good gracious! when I went away, I am sure
I had no more idea of being married till I came back again! though I
thought it would be very good fun if I was."
Her father lifted up his eyes. Jane was distressed. Elizabeth looked
expressively at Lydia; but she, who never heard nor saw anything of
which she chose to be insensible, gaily continued, "Oh! mamma, do the
people hereabouts know I am married to-day? I was afraid they might not;
and we overtook William Goulding in his curricle, so I was determined he
should know it, and so I let down the side-glass next to him, and took
off my glove, and let my hand just rest upon the window frame, so that
he might see the ring, and then I bowed and smiled like anything."
Elizabeth could bear it no longer. She got up, and ran out of the room;
and returned no more, till she heard them passing through the hall to
the dining parlour. She then joined them soon enough to see Lydia, with
anxious parade, walk up to her mother's right hand, and hear her say
to her eldest sister, "Ah! Jane, I take your place now, and you must go
lower, because I am a married woman."
It was not to be supposed that time would give Lydia that embarrassment
from which she had been so wholly free at first. Her ease and good
spirits increased. She longed to see Mrs. Phillips, the Lucases, and
all their other neighbours, and to hear herself called "Mrs. Wickham"
by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner to show her
ring, and boast of being married, to Mrs. Hill and the two housemaids.
"Well, mamma," said she, when they were all returned to the breakfast
room, "and what do you think of my husband? Is not he a charming man? I
am sure my sisters must all envy me. I only hope they may have half
my good luck. They must all go to Brighton. That is the place to get
husbands. What a pity it is, mamma, we did not all go."
"Very true; and if I had my will, we should. But my dear Lydia, I don't
at all like your going such a way off. Must it be so?"
"Oh, lord! yes;--there is nothing in that. I shall like it of all
things. You and papa, and my sisters, must come down and see us. We
shall be at Newcastle all the winter, and I dare say there will be some
balls, and I will take care to get good partners for them all."
"I should like it beyond anything!" said her mother.
"And then when you go away, you may leave one or two of my sisters
behind you; and I dare say I shall get husbands for them before the
winter is over."
"I thank you for my share of the favour," said Elizabeth; "but I do not
particularly like your way of getting husbands."
Their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them. Mr. Wickham
had received his commission before he left London, and he was to join
his regiment at the end of a fortnight.
No one but Mrs. Bennet regretted that their stay would be so short; and
she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter, and
having very frequent parties at home. These parties were acceptable to
all; to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did
think, than such as did not.
Wickham's affection for Lydia was just what Elizabeth had expected
to find it; not equal to Lydia's for him. She had scarcely needed her
present observation to be satisfied, from the reason of things, that
their elopement had been brought on by the strength of her love, rather
than by his; and she would have wondered why, without violently caring
for her, he chose to elope with her at all, had she not felt certain
that his flight was rendered necessary by distress of circumstances; and
if that were the case, he was not the young man to resist an opportunity
of having a companion.
Lydia was exceedingly fond of him. He was her dear Wickham on every
occasion; no one was to be put in competition with him. He did every
thing best in the world; and she was sure he would kill more birds on
the first of September, than any body else in the country.
One morning, soon after their arrival, as she was sitting with her two
elder sisters, she said to Elizabeth:
"Lizzy, I never gave _you_ an account of my wedding, I believe. You
were not by, when I told mamma and the others all about it. Are not you
curious to hear how it was managed?"
"No really," replied Elizabeth; "I think there cannot be too little said
on the subject."
"La! You are so strange! But I must tell you how it went off. We were
married, you know, at St. Clement's, because Wickham's lodgings were in
that parish. And it was settled that we should all be there by eleven
o'clock. My uncle and aunt and I were to go together; and the others
were to meet us at the church. Well, Monday morning came, and I was in
such a fuss! I was so afraid, you know, that something would happen to
put it off, and then I should have gone quite distracted. And there was
my aunt, all the time I was dressing, preaching and talking away just as
if she was reading a sermon. However, I did not hear above one word in
ten, for I was thinking, you may suppose, of my dear Wickham. I longed
to know whether he would be married in his blue coat."
"Well, and so we breakfasted at ten as usual; I thought it would never
be over; for, by the bye, you are to understand, that my uncle and aunt
were horrid unpleasant all the time I was with them. If you'll believe
me, I did not once put my foot out of doors, though I was there a
fortnight. Not one party, or scheme, or anything. To be sure London was
rather thin, but, however, the Little Theatre was open. Well, and so
just as the carriage came to the door, my uncle was called away upon
business to that horrid man Mr. Stone. And then, you know, when once
they get together, there is no end of it. Well, I was so frightened I
did not know what to do, for my uncle was to give me away; and if we
were beyond the hour, we could not be married all day. But, luckily, he
came back again in ten minutes' time, and then we all set out. However,
I recollected afterwards that if he had been prevented going, the
wedding need not be put off, for Mr. Darcy might have done as well."
"Mr. Darcy!" repeated Elizabeth, in utter amazement.
"Oh, yes!--he was to come there with Wickham, you know. But gracious
me! I quite forgot! I ought not to have said a word about it. I promised
them so faithfully! What will Wickham say? It was to be such a secret!"
"If it was to be secret," said Jane, "say not another word on the
subject. You may depend upon my seeking no further."
"Oh! certainly," said Elizabeth, though burning with curiosity; "we will
ask you no questions."
"Thank you," said Lydia, "for if you did, I should certainly tell you
all, and then Wickham would be angry."
On such encouragement to ask, Elizabeth was forced to put it out of her
power, by running away.
But to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible; or at least
it was impossible not to try for information. Mr. Darcy had been at
her sister's wedding. It was exactly a scene, and exactly among people,
where he had apparently least to do, and least temptation to go.
Conjectures as to the meaning of it, rapid and wild, hurried into her
brain; but she was satisfied with none. Those that best pleased her, as
placing his conduct in the noblest light, seemed most improbable. She
could not bear such suspense; and hastily seizing a sheet of paper,
wrote a short letter to her aunt, to request an explanation of what
Lydia had dropt, if it were compatible with the secrecy which had been
intended.
"You may readily comprehend," she added, "what my curiosity must be
to know how a person unconnected with any of us, and (comparatively
speaking) a stranger to our family, should have been amongst you at such
a time. Pray write instantly, and let me understand it--unless it is,
for very cogent reasons, to remain in the secrecy which Lydia seems
to think necessary; and then I must endeavour to be satisfied with
ignorance."
"Not that I _shall_, though," she added to herself, as she finished
the letter; "and my dear aunt, if you do not tell me in an honourable
manner, I shall certainly be reduced to tricks and stratagems to find it
out."
Jane's delicate sense of honour would not allow her to speak to
Elizabeth privately of what Lydia had let fall; Elizabeth was glad
of it;--till it appeared whether her inquiries would receive any
satisfaction, she had rather be without a confidante.
Chapter 52
Elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as
soon as she possibly could. She was no sooner in possession of it
than, hurrying into the little copse, where she was least likely to
be interrupted, she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to
be happy; for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not
contain a denial.
"Gracechurch street, Sept. 6.
"MY DEAR NIECE,
"I have just received your letter, and shall devote this whole morning
to answering it, as I foresee that a _little_ writing will not comprise
what I have to tell you. I must confess myself surprised by your
application; I did not expect it from _you_. Don't think me angry,
however, for I only mean to let you know that I had not imagined such
inquiries to be necessary on _your_ side. If you do not choose to
understand me, forgive my impertinence. Your uncle is as much surprised
as I am--and nothing but the belief of your being a party concerned
would have allowed him to act as he has done. But if you are really
innocent and ignorant, I must be more explicit.
"On the very day of my coming home from Longbourn, your uncle had a most
unexpected visitor. Mr. Darcy called, and was shut up with him several
hours. It was all over before I arrived; so my curiosity was not so
dreadfully racked as _yours_ seems to have been. He came to tell Mr.
Gardiner that he had found out where your sister and Mr. Wickham were,
and that he had seen and talked with them both; Wickham repeatedly,
Lydia once. From what I can collect, he left Derbyshire only one day
after ourselves, and came to town with the resolution of hunting for
them. The motive professed was his conviction of its being owing to
himself that Wickham's worthlessness had not been so well known as to
make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide
in him. He generously imputed the whole to his mistaken pride, and
confessed that he had before thought it beneath him to lay his private
actions open to the world. His character was to speak for itself. He
called it, therefore, his duty to step forward, and endeavour to remedy
an evil which had been brought on by himself. If he _had another_
motive, I am sure it would never disgrace him. He had been some days
in town, before he was able to discover them; but he had something to
direct his search, which was more than _we_ had; and the consciousness
of this was another reason for his resolving to follow us.
"There is a lady, it seems, a Mrs. Younge, who was some time ago
governess to Miss Darcy, and was dismissed from her charge on some cause
of disapprobation, though he did not say what. She then took a large
house in Edward-street, and has since maintained herself by letting
lodgings. This Mrs. Younge was, he knew, intimately acquainted with
Wickham; and he went to her for intelligence of him as soon as he got to
town. But it was two or three days before he could get from her what he
wanted. She would not betray her trust, I suppose, without bribery and
corruption, for she really did know where her friend was to be found.
Wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival in London, and had
she been able to receive them into her house, they would have taken up
their abode with her. At length, however, our kind friend procured the
wished-for direction. They were in ---- street. He saw Wickham, and
afterwards insisted on seeing Lydia. His first object with her, he
acknowledged, had been to persuade her to quit her present disgraceful
situation, and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed
on to receive her, offering his assistance, as far as it would go. But
he found Lydia absolutely resolved on remaining where she was. She cared
for none of her friends; she wanted no help of his; she would not hear
of leaving Wickham. She was sure they should be married some time or
other, and it did not much signify when. Since such were her feelings,
it only remained, he thought, to secure and expedite a marriage, which,
in his very first conversation with Wickham, he easily learnt had never
been _his_ design. He confessed himself obliged to leave the regiment,
on account of some debts of honour, which were very pressing; and
scrupled not to lay all the ill-consequences of Lydia's flight on her
own folly alone. He meant to resign his commission immediately; and as
to his future situation, he could conjecture very little about it. He
must go somewhere, but he did not know where, and he knew he should have
nothing to live on.
"Mr. Darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once. Though
Mr. Bennet was not imagined to be very rich, he would have been able
to do something for him, and his situation must have been benefited by
marriage. But he found, in reply to this question, that Wickham still
cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in
some other country. Under such circumstances, however, he was not likely
to be proof against the temptation of immediate relief.
"They met several times, for there was much to be discussed. Wickham of
course wanted more than he could get; but at length was reduced to be
reasonable.
"Every thing being settled between _them_, Mr. Darcy's next step was to
make your uncle acquainted with it, and he first called in Gracechurch
street the evening before I came home. But Mr. Gardiner could not be
seen, and Mr. Darcy found, on further inquiry, that your father was
still with him, but would quit town the next morning. He did not judge
your father to be a person whom he could so properly consult as your
uncle, and therefore readily postponed seeing him till after the
departure of the former. He did not leave his name, and till the next
day it was only known that a gentleman had called on business.
"On Saturday he came again. Your father was gone, your uncle at home,
and, as I said before, they had a great deal of talk together.
"They met again on Sunday, and then _I_ saw him too. It was not all
settled before Monday: as soon as it was, the express was sent off to
Longbourn. But our visitor was very obstinate. I fancy, Lizzy, that
obstinacy is the real defect of his character, after all. He has been
accused of many faults at different times, but _this_ is the true one.
Nothing was to be done that he did not do himself; though I am sure (and
I do not speak it to be thanked, therefore say nothing about it), your
uncle would most readily have settled the whole.
"They battled it together for a long time, which was more than either
the gentleman or lady concerned in it deserved. But at last your uncle
was forced to yield, and instead of being allowed to be of use to his
niece, was forced to put up with only having the probable credit of it,
which went sorely against the grain; and I really believe your letter
this morning gave him great pleasure, because it required an explanation
that would rob him of his borrowed feathers, and give the praise where
it was due. But, Lizzy, this must go no farther than yourself, or Jane
at most.
"You know pretty well, I suppose, what has been done for the young
people. His debts are to be paid, amounting, I believe, to considerably
more than a thousand pounds, another thousand in addition to her own
settled upon _her_, and his commission purchased. The reason why all
this was to be done by him alone, was such as I have given above. It
was owing to him, to his reserve and want of proper consideration, that
Wickham's character had been so misunderstood, and consequently that he
had been received and noticed as he was. Perhaps there was some truth
in _this_; though I doubt whether _his_ reserve, or _anybody's_ reserve,
can be answerable for the event. But in spite of all this fine talking,
my dear Lizzy, you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would
never have yielded, if we had not given him credit for _another
interest_ in the affair.
"When all this was resolved on, he returned again to his friends, who
were still staying at Pemberley; but it was agreed that he should be in
London once more when the wedding took place, and all money matters were
then to receive the last finish.
"I believe I have now told you every thing. It is a relation which
you tell me is to give you great surprise; I hope at least it will not
afford you any displeasure. Lydia came to us; and Wickham had constant
admission to the house. _He_ was exactly what he had been, when I
knew him in Hertfordshire; but I would not tell you how little I was
satisfied with her behaviour while she staid with us, if I had not
perceived, by Jane's letter last Wednesday, that her conduct on coming
home was exactly of a piece with it, and therefore what I now tell
you can give you no fresh pain. I talked to her repeatedly in the most
serious manner, representing to her all the wickedness of what she had
done, and all the unhappiness she had brought on her family. If she
heard me, it was by good luck, for I am sure she did not listen. I was
sometimes quite provoked, but then I recollected my dear Elizabeth and
Jane, and for their sakes had patience with her.
"Mr. Darcy was punctual in his return, and as Lydia informed you,
attended the wedding. He dined with us the next day, and was to leave
town again on Wednesday or Thursday. Will you be very angry with me, my
dear Lizzy, if I take this opportunity of saying (what I was never bold
enough to say before) how much I like him. His behaviour to us has,
in every respect, been as pleasing as when we were in Derbyshire. His
understanding and opinions all please me; he wants nothing but a little
more liveliness, and _that_, if he marry _prudently_, his wife may teach
him. I thought him very sly;--he hardly ever mentioned your name. But
slyness seems the fashion.
"Pray forgive me if I have been very presuming, or at least do not
punish me so far as to exclude me from P. I shall never be quite happy
till I have been all round the park. A low phaeton, with a nice little
pair of ponies, would be the very thing.
"But I must write no more. The children have been wanting me this half
hour.
"Yours, very sincerely,
"M. GARDINER."
The contents of this letter threw Elizabeth into a flutter of spirits,
in which it was difficult to determine whether pleasure or pain bore the
greatest share. The vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had
produced of what Mr. Darcy might have been doing to forward her sister's
match, which she had feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too
great to be probable, and at the same time dreaded to be just, from the
pain of obligation, were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true!
He had followed them purposely to town, he had taken on himself all
the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research; in which
supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and
despise, and where he was reduced to meet, frequently meet, reason
with, persuade, and finally bribe, the man whom he always most wished to
avoid, and whose very name it was punishment to him to pronounce. He had
done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem. Her
heart did whisper that he had done it for her. But it was a hope shortly
checked by other considerations, and she soon felt that even her vanity
was insufficient, when required to depend on his affection for her--for
a woman who had already refused him--as able to overcome a sentiment so
natural as abhorrence against relationship with Wickham. Brother-in-law
of Wickham! Every kind of pride must revolt from the connection. He had,
to be sure, done much. She was ashamed to think how much. But he had
given a reason for his interference, which asked no extraordinary
stretch of belief. It was reasonable that he should feel he had been
wrong; he had liberality, and he had the means of exercising it; and
though she would not place herself as his principal inducement, she
could, perhaps, believe that remaining partiality for her might assist
his endeavours in a cause where her peace of mind must be materially
concerned. It was painful, exceedingly painful, to know that they were
under obligations to a person who could never receive a return. They
owed the restoration of Lydia, her character, every thing, to him. Oh!
how heartily did she grieve over every ungracious sensation she had ever
encouraged, every saucy speech she had ever directed towards him. For
herself she was humbled; but she was proud of him. Proud that in a cause
of compassion and honour, he had been able to get the better of himself.
She read over her aunt's commendation of him again and again. It
was hardly enough; but it pleased her. She was even sensible of some
pleasure, though mixed with regret, on finding how steadfastly both she
and her uncle had been persuaded that affection and confidence subsisted
between Mr. Darcy and herself.
She was roused from her seat, and her reflections, by some one's
approach; and before she could strike into another path, she was
overtaken by Wickham.
"I am afraid I interrupt your solitary ramble, my dear sister?" said he,
as he joined her.
"You certainly do," she replied with a smile; "but it does not follow
that the interruption must be unwelcome."
"I should be sorry indeed, if it were. We were always good friends; and
now we are better."
"True. Are the others coming out?"
"I do not know. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are going in the carriage to
Meryton. And so, my dear sister, I find, from our uncle and aunt, that
you have actually seen Pemberley."
She replied in the affirmative.
"I almost envy you the pleasure, and yet I believe it would be too much
for me, or else I could take it in my way to Newcastle. And you saw the
old housekeeper, I suppose? Poor Reynolds, she was always very fond of
me. But of course she did not mention my name to you."
"Yes, she did."
"And what did she say?"
"That you were gone into the army, and she was afraid had--not turned
out well. At such a distance as _that_, you know, things are strangely
misrepresented."
"Certainly," he replied, biting his lips. Elizabeth hoped she had
silenced him; but he soon afterwards said:
"I was surprised to see Darcy in town last month. We passed each other
several times. I wonder what he can be doing there."
"Perhaps preparing for his marriage with Miss de Bourgh," said
Elizabeth. "It must be something particular, to take him there at this
time of year."
"Undoubtedly. Did you see him while you were at Lambton? I thought I
understood from the Gardiners that you had."
"Yes; he introduced us to his sister."
"And do you like her?"
"Very much."
"I have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly improved within this year
or two. When I last saw her, she was not very promising. I am very glad
you liked her. I hope she will turn out well."
"I dare say she will; she has got over the most trying age."
"Did you go by the village of Kympton?"
"I do not recollect that we did."
"I mention it, because it is the living which I ought to have had. A
most delightful place!--Excellent Parsonage House! It would have suited
me in every respect."
"How should you have liked making sermons?"
"Exceedingly well. I should have considered it as part of my duty,
and the exertion would soon have been nothing. One ought not to
repine;--but, to be sure, it would have been such a thing for me! The
quiet, the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas
of happiness! But it was not to be. Did you ever hear Darcy mention the
circumstance, when you were in Kent?"
"I have heard from authority, which I thought _as good_, that it was
left you conditionally only, and at the will of the present patron."
"You have. Yes, there was something in _that_; I told you so from the
first, you may remember."
"I _did_ hear, too, that there was a time, when sermon-making was not
so palatable to you as it seems to be at present; that you actually
declared your resolution of never taking orders, and that the business
had been compromised accordingly."
"You did! and it was not wholly without foundation. You may remember
what I told you on that point, when first we talked of it."
They were now almost at the door of the house, for she had walked fast
to get rid of him; and unwilling, for her sister's sake, to provoke him,
she only said in reply, with a good-humoured smile:
"Come, Mr. Wickham, we are brother and sister, you know. Do not let
us quarrel about the past. In future, I hope we shall be always of one
mind."
She held out her hand; he kissed it with affectionate gallantry, though
he hardly knew how to look, and they entered the house.
Chapter 53
Mr. Wickham was so perfectly satisfied with this conversation that he
never again distressed himself, or provoked his dear sister Elizabeth,
by introducing the subject of it; and she was pleased to find that she
had said enough to keep him quiet.
The day of his and Lydia's departure soon came, and Mrs. Bennet was
forced to submit to a separation, which, as her husband by no means
entered into her scheme of their all going to Newcastle, was likely to
continue at least a twelvemonth.
"Oh! my dear Lydia," she cried, "when shall we meet again?"
"Oh, lord! I don't know. Not these two or three years, perhaps."
"Write to me very often, my dear."
"As often as I can. But you know married women have never much time for
writing. My sisters may write to _me_. They will have nothing else to
do."
Mr. Wickham's adieus were much more affectionate than his wife's. He
smiled, looked handsome, and said many pretty things.
"He is as fine a fellow," said Mr. Bennet, as soon as they were out of
the house, "as ever I saw. He simpers, and smirks, and makes love to
us all. I am prodigiously proud of him. I defy even Sir William Lucas
himself to produce a more valuable son-in-law."
The loss of her daughter made Mrs. Bennet very dull for several days.
"I often think," said she, "that there is nothing so bad as parting with
one's friends. One seems so forlorn without them."
"This is the consequence, you see, Madam, of marrying a daughter," said
Elizabeth. "It must make you better satisfied that your other four are
single."
"It is no such thing. Lydia does not leave me because she is married,
but only because her husband's regiment happens to be so far off. If
that had been nearer, she would not have gone so soon."
But the spiritless condition which this event threw her into was shortly
relieved, and her mind opened again to the agitation of hope, by an
article of news which then began to be in circulation. The housekeeper
at Netherfield had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her
master, who was coming down in a day or two, to shoot there for several
weeks. Mrs. Bennet was quite in the fidgets. She looked at Jane, and
smiled and shook her head by turns.
"Well, well, and so Mr. Bingley is coming down, sister," (for Mrs.
Phillips first brought her the news). "Well, so much the better. Not
that I care about it, though. He is nothing to us, you know, and I am
sure _I_ never want to see him again. But, however, he is very welcome
to come to Netherfield, if he likes it. And who knows what _may_ happen?
But that is nothing to us. You know, sister, we agreed long ago never to
mention a word about it. And so, is it quite certain he is coming?"
"You may depend on it," replied the other, "for Mrs. Nicholls was in
Meryton last night; I saw her passing by, and went out myself on purpose
to know the truth of it; and she told me that it was certain true. He
comes down on Thursday at the latest, very likely on Wednesday. She was
going to the butcher's, she told me, on purpose to order in some meat on
Wednesday, and she has got three couple of ducks just fit to be killed."
Miss Bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing
colour. It was many months since she had mentioned his name to
Elizabeth; but now, as soon as they were alone together, she said:
"I saw you look at me to-day, Lizzy, when my aunt told us of the present
report; and I know I appeared distressed. But don't imagine it was from
any silly cause. I was only confused for the moment, because I felt that
I _should_ be looked at. I do assure you that the news does not affect
me either with pleasure or pain. I am glad of one thing, that he comes
alone; because we shall see the less of him. Not that I am afraid of
_myself_, but I dread other people's remarks."
Elizabeth did not know what to make of it. Had she not seen him in
Derbyshire, she might have supposed him capable of coming there with no
other view than what was acknowledged; but she still thought him partial
to Jane, and she wavered as to the greater probability of his coming
there _with_ his friend's permission, or being bold enough to come
without it.
"Yet it is hard," she sometimes thought, "that this poor man cannot
come to a house which he has legally hired, without raising all this
speculation! I _will_ leave him to himself."
In spite of what her sister declared, and really believed to be her
feelings in the expectation of his arrival, Elizabeth could easily
perceive that her spirits were affected by it. They were more disturbed,
more unequal, than she had often seen them.
The subject which had been so warmly canvassed between their parents,
about a twelvemonth ago, was now brought forward again.
"As soon as ever Mr. Bingley comes, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "you
will wait on him of course."
"No, no. You forced me into visiting him last year, and promised, if I
went to see him, he should marry one of my daughters. But it ended in
nothing, and I will not be sent on a fool's errand again."
His wife represented to him how absolutely necessary such an attention
would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen, on his returning to
Netherfield.
"'Tis an etiquette I despise," said he. "If he wants our society,
let him seek it. He knows where we live. I will not spend my hours
in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back
again."
"Well, all I know is, that it will be abominably rude if you do not wait
on him. But, however, that shan't prevent my asking him to dine here, I
am determined. We must have Mrs. Long and the Gouldings soon. That will
make thirteen with ourselves, so there will be just room at table for
him."
Consoled by this resolution, she was the better able to bear her
husband's incivility; though it was very mortifying to know that her
neighbours might all see Mr. Bingley, in consequence of it, before
_they_ did. As the day of his arrival drew near,--
"I begin to be sorry that he comes at all," said Jane to her sister. "It
would be nothing; I could see him with perfect indifference, but I can
hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of. My mother means well;
but she does not know, no one can know, how much I suffer from what she
says. Happy shall I be, when his stay at Netherfield is over!"
"I wish I could say anything to comfort you," replied Elizabeth; "but it
is wholly out of my power. You must feel it; and the usual satisfaction
of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me, because you have
always so much."
Mr. Bingley arrived. Mrs. Bennet, through the assistance of servants,
contrived to have the earliest tidings of it, that the period of anxiety
and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could. She counted
the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent;
hopeless of seeing him before. But on the third morning after his
arrival in Hertfordshire, she saw him, from her dressing-room window,
enter the paddock and ride towards the house.
Her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy. Jane resolutely
kept her place at the table; but Elizabeth, to satisfy her mother, went
to the window--she looked,--she saw Mr. Darcy with him, and sat down
again by her sister.
"There is a gentleman with him, mamma," said Kitty; "who can it be?"
"Some acquaintance or other, my dear, I suppose; I am sure I do not
know."
"La!" replied Kitty, "it looks just like that man that used to be with
him before. Mr. what's-his-name. That tall, proud man."
"Good gracious! Mr. Darcy!--and so it does, I vow. Well, any friend of
Mr. Bingley's will always be welcome here, to be sure; but else I must
say that I hate the very sight of him."
Jane looked at Elizabeth with surprise and concern. She knew but little
of their meeting in Derbyshire, and therefore felt for the awkwardness
which must attend her sister, in seeing him almost for the first time
after receiving his explanatory letter. Both sisters were uncomfortable
enough. Each felt for the other, and of course for themselves; and their
mother talked on, of her dislike of Mr. Darcy, and her resolution to be
civil to him only as Mr. Bingley's friend, without being heard by either
of them. But Elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be
suspected by Jane, to whom she had never yet had courage to shew Mrs.
Gardiner's letter, or to relate her own change of sentiment towards him.
To Jane, he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused,
and whose merit she had undervalued; but to her own more extensive
information, he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted
for the first of benefits, and whom she regarded herself with an
interest, if not quite so tender, at least as reasonable and just as
what Jane felt for Bingley. Her astonishment at his coming--at his
coming to Netherfield, to Longbourn, and voluntarily seeking her again,
was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered
behaviour in Derbyshire.
The colour which had been driven from her face, returned for half a
minute with an additional glow, and a smile of delight added lustre to
her eyes, as she thought for that space of time that his affection and
wishes must still be unshaken. But she would not be secure.
"Let me first see how he behaves," said she; "it will then be early
enough for expectation."
She sat intently at work, striving to be composed, and without daring to
lift up her eyes, till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of
her sister as the servant was approaching the door. Jane looked a little
paler than usual, but more sedate than Elizabeth had expected. On the
gentlemen's appearing, her colour increased; yet she received them with
tolerable ease, and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any
symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance.
Elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow, and sat down
again to her work, with an eagerness which it did not often command. She
had ventured only one glance at Darcy. He looked serious, as usual; and,
she thought, more as he had been used to look in Hertfordshire, than as
she had seen him at Pemberley. But, perhaps he could not in her mother's
presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt. It was a painful, but
not an improbable, conjecture.
Bingley, she had likewise seen for an instant, and in that short period
saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed. He was received by Mrs.
Bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed,
especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of
her curtsey and address to his friend.
Elizabeth, particularly, who knew that her mother owed to the latter
the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy,
was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill
applied.
Darcy, after inquiring of her how Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner did, a question
which she could not answer without confusion, said scarcely anything. He
was not seated by her; perhaps that was the reason of his silence; but
it had not been so in Derbyshire. There he had talked to her friends,
when he could not to herself. But now several minutes elapsed without
bringing the sound of his voice; and when occasionally, unable to resist
the impulse of curiosity, she raised her eyes to his face, she as often
found him looking at Jane as at herself, and frequently on no object but
the ground. More thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please, than when
they last met, were plainly expressed. She was disappointed, and angry
with herself for being so.
"Could I expect it to be otherwise!" said she. "Yet why did he come?"
She was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself; and to
him she had hardly courage to speak.
She inquired after his sister, but could do no more.
"It is a long time, Mr. Bingley, since you went away," said Mrs. Bennet.
He readily agreed to it.
"I began to be afraid you would never come back again. People _did_ say
you meant to quit the place entirely at Michaelmas; but, however, I hope
it is not true. A great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood,
since you went away. Miss Lucas is married and settled. And one of my
own daughters. I suppose you have heard of it; indeed, you must have
seen it in the papers. It was in The Times and The Courier, I know;
though it was not put in as it ought to be. It was only said, 'Lately,
George Wickham, Esq. to Miss Lydia Bennet,' without there being a
syllable said of her father, or the place where she lived, or anything.
It was my brother Gardiner's drawing up too, and I wonder how he came to
make such an awkward business of it. Did you see it?"
Bingley replied that he did, and made his congratulations. Elizabeth
dared not lift up her eyes. How Mr. Darcy looked, therefore, she could
not tell.
"It is a delightful thing, to be sure, to have a daughter well married,"
continued her mother, "but at the same time, Mr. Bingley, it is very
hard to have her taken such a way from me. They are gone down to
Newcastle, a place quite northward, it seems, and there they are to stay
I do not know how long. His regiment is there; for I suppose you have
heard of his leaving the ----shire, and of his being gone into the
regulars. Thank Heaven! he has _some_ friends, though perhaps not so
many as he deserves."
Elizabeth, who knew this to be levelled at Mr. Darcy, was in such
misery of shame, that she could hardly keep her seat. It drew from her,
however, the exertion of speaking, which nothing else had so effectually
done before; and she asked Bingley whether he meant to make any stay in
the country at present. A few weeks, he believed.
"When you have killed all your own birds, Mr. Bingley," said her mother,
"I beg you will come here, and shoot as many as you please on Mr.
Bennet's manor. I am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you, and
will save all the best of the covies for you."
Elizabeth's misery increased, at such unnecessary, such officious
attention! Were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had
flattered them a year ago, every thing, she was persuaded, would be
hastening to the same vexatious conclusion. At that instant, she felt
that years of happiness could not make Jane or herself amends for
moments of such painful confusion.
"The first wish of my heart," said she to herself, "is never more to
be in company with either of them. Their society can afford no pleasure
that will atone for such wretchedness as this! Let me never see either
one or the other again!"
Yet the misery, for which years of happiness were to offer no
compensation, received soon afterwards material relief, from observing
how much the beauty of her sister re-kindled the admiration of her
former lover. When first he came in, he had spoken to her but little;
but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention. He
found her as handsome as she had been last year; as good natured, and
as unaffected, though not quite so chatty. Jane was anxious that no
difference should be perceived in her at all, and was really persuaded
that she talked as much as ever. But her mind was so busily engaged,
that she did not always know when she was silent.
When the gentlemen rose to go away, Mrs. Bennet was mindful of her
intended civility, and they were invited and engaged to dine at
Longbourn in a few days time.
"You are quite a visit in my debt, Mr. Bingley," she added, "for when
you went to town last winter, you promised to take a family dinner with
us, as soon as you returned. I have not forgot, you see; and I assure
you, I was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep
your engagement."
Bingley looked a little silly at this reflection, and said something of
his concern at having been prevented by business. They then went away.
Mrs. Bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine
there that day; but, though she always kept a very good table, she did
not think anything less than two courses could be good enough for a man
on whom she had such anxious designs, or satisfy the appetite and pride
of one who had ten thousand a year.
Chapter 54
As soon as they were gone, Elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits;
or in other words, to dwell without interruption on those subjects that
must deaden them more. Mr. Darcy's behaviour astonished and vexed her.
"Why, if he came only to be silent, grave, and indifferent," said she,
"did he come at all?"
She could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure.
"He could be still amiable, still pleasing, to my uncle and aunt, when
he was in town; and why not to me? If he fears me, why come hither? If
he no longer cares for me, why silent? Teasing, teasing, man! I will
think no more about him."
Her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach
of her sister, who joined her with a cheerful look, which showed her
better satisfied with their visitors, than Elizabeth.
"Now," said she, "that this first meeting is over, I feel perfectly
easy. I know my own strength, and I shall never be embarrassed again by
his coming. I am glad he dines here on Tuesday. It will then be publicly
seen that, on both sides, we meet only as common and indifferent
acquaintance."
"Yes, very indifferent indeed," said Elizabeth, laughingly. "Oh, Jane,
take care."
"My dear Lizzy, you cannot think me so weak, as to be in danger now?"
"I think you are in very great danger of making him as much in love with
you as ever."
                          * * * * *
They did not see the gentlemen again till Tuesday; and Mrs. Bennet, in
the meanwhile, was giving way to all the happy schemes, which the good
humour and common politeness of Bingley, in half an hour's visit, had
revived.
On Tuesday there was a large party assembled at Longbourn; and the two
who were most anxiously expected, to the credit of their punctuality
as sportsmen, were in very good time. When they repaired to the
dining-room, Elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether Bingley would take
the place, which, in all their former parties, had belonged to him, by
her sister. Her prudent mother, occupied by the same ideas, forbore
to invite him to sit by herself. On entering the room, he seemed to
hesitate; but Jane happened to look round, and happened to smile: it was
decided. He placed himself by her.
Elizabeth, with a triumphant sensation, looked towards his friend.
He bore it with noble indifference, and she would have imagined that
Bingley had received his sanction to be happy, had she not seen his eyes
likewise turned towards Mr. Darcy, with an expression of half-laughing
alarm.
His behaviour to her sister was such, during dinner time, as showed an
admiration of her, which, though more guarded than formerly, persuaded
Elizabeth, that if left wholly to himself, Jane's happiness, and his
own, would be speedily secured. Though she dared not depend upon the
consequence, she yet received pleasure from observing his behaviour. It
gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast; for she was in
no cheerful humour. Mr. Darcy was almost as far from her as the table
could divide them. He was on one side of her mother. She knew how little
such a situation would give pleasure to either, or make either appear to
advantage. She was not near enough to hear any of their discourse, but
she could see how seldom they spoke to each other, and how formal and
cold was their manner whenever they did. Her mother's ungraciousness,
made the sense of what they owed him more painful to Elizabeth's mind;
and she would, at times, have given anything to be privileged to tell
him that his kindness was neither unknown nor unfelt by the whole of the
family.
She was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity of
bringing them together; that the whole of the visit would not pass away
without enabling them to enter into something more of conversation than
the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entrance. Anxious
and uneasy, the period which passed in the drawing-room, before the
gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her
uncivil. She looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all
her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend.
"If he does not come to me, _then_," said she, "I shall give him up for
ever."
The gentlemen came; and she thought he looked as if he would have
answered her hopes; but, alas! the ladies had crowded round the table,
where Miss Bennet was making tea, and Elizabeth pouring out the coffee,
in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her
which would admit of a chair. And on the gentlemen's approaching, one of
the girls moved closer to her than ever, and said, in a whisper:
"The men shan't come and part us, I am determined. We want none of them;
do we?"
Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with
her eyes, envied everyone to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience enough
to help anybody to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for
being so silly!
"A man who has once been refused! How could I ever be foolish enough to
expect a renewal of his love? Is there one among the sex, who would not
protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman?
There is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings!"
She was a little revived, however, by his bringing back his coffee cup
himself; and she seized the opportunity of saying:
"Is your sister at Pemberley still?"
"Yes, she will remain there till Christmas."
"And quite alone? Have all her friends left her?"
"Mrs. Annesley is with her. The others have been gone on to Scarborough,
these three weeks."
She could think of nothing more to say; but if he wished to converse
with her, he might have better success. He stood by her, however, for
some minutes, in silence; and, at last, on the young lady's whispering
to Elizabeth again, he walked away.
When the tea-things were removed, and the card-tables placed, the ladies
all rose, and Elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him,
when all her views were overthrown by seeing him fall a victim to her
mother's rapacity for whist players, and in a few moments after seated
with the rest of the party. She now lost every expectation of pleasure.
They were confined for the evening at different tables, and she had
nothing to hope, but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side
of the room, as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself.
Mrs. Bennet had designed to keep the two Netherfield gentlemen to
supper; but their carriage was unluckily ordered before any of the
others, and she had no opportunity of detaining them.
"Well girls," said she, as soon as they were left to themselves, "What
say you to the day? I think every thing has passed off uncommonly well,
I assure you. The dinner was as well dressed as any I ever saw. The
venison was roasted to a turn--and everybody said they never saw so
fat a haunch. The soup was fifty times better than what we had at the
Lucases' last week; and even Mr. Darcy acknowledged, that the partridges
were remarkably well done; and I suppose he has two or three French
cooks at least. And, my dear Jane, I never saw you look in greater
beauty. Mrs. Long said so too, for I asked her whether you did not. And
what do you think she said besides? 'Ah! Mrs. Bennet, we shall have her
at Netherfield at last.' She did indeed. I do think Mrs. Long is as good
a creature as ever lived--and her nieces are very pretty behaved girls,
and not at all handsome: I like them prodigiously."
Mrs. Bennet, in short, was in very great spirits; she had seen enough of
Bingley's behaviour to Jane, to be convinced that she would get him at
last; and her expectations of advantage to her family, when in a happy
humour, were so far beyond reason, that she was quite disappointed at
not seeing him there again the next day, to make his proposals.
"It has been a very agreeable day," said Miss Bennet to Elizabeth. "The
party seemed so well selected, so suitable one with the other. I hope we
may often meet again."
Elizabeth smiled.
"Lizzy, you must not do so. You must not suspect me. It mortifies me.
I assure you that I have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an
agreeable and sensible young man, without having a wish beyond it. I am
perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had
any design of engaging my affection. It is only that he is blessed
with greater sweetness of address, and a stronger desire of generally
pleasing, than any other man."
"You are very cruel," said her sister, "you will not let me smile, and
are provoking me to it every moment."
"How hard it is in some cases to be believed!"
"And how impossible in others!"
"But why should you wish to persuade me that I feel more than I
acknowledge?"
"That is a question which I hardly know how to answer. We all love to
instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing. Forgive
me; and if you persist in indifference, do not make me your confidante."
Chapter 55
A few days after this visit, Mr. Bingley called again, and alone. His
friend had left him that morning for London, but was to return home in
ten days time. He sat with them above an hour, and was in remarkably
good spirits. Mrs. Bennet invited him to dine with them; but, with many
expressions of concern, he confessed himself engaged elsewhere.
"Next time you call," said she, "I hope we shall be more lucky."
He should be particularly happy at any time, etc. etc.; and if she would
give him leave, would take an early opportunity of waiting on them.
"Can you come to-morrow?"
Yes, he had no engagement at all for to-morrow; and her invitation was
accepted with alacrity.
He came, and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them
dressed. In ran Mrs. Bennet to her daughter's room, in her dressing
gown, and with her hair half finished, crying out:
"My dear Jane, make haste and hurry down. He is come--Mr. Bingley is
come. He is, indeed. Make haste, make haste. Here, Sarah, come to Miss
Bennet this moment, and help her on with her gown. Never mind Miss
Lizzy's hair."
"We will be down as soon as we can," said Jane; "but I dare say Kitty is
forwarder than either of us, for she went up stairs half an hour ago."
"Oh! hang Kitty! what has she to do with it? Come be quick, be quick!
Where is your sash, my dear?"
But when her mother was gone, Jane would not be prevailed on to go down
without one of her sisters.
The same anxiety to get them by themselves was visible again in the
evening. After tea, Mr. Bennet retired to the library, as was his
custom, and Mary went up stairs to her instrument. Two obstacles of
the five being thus removed, Mrs. Bennet sat looking and winking at
Elizabeth and Catherine for a considerable time, without making any
impression on them. Elizabeth would not observe her; and when at last
Kitty did, she very innocently said, "What is the matter mamma? What do
you keep winking at me for? What am I to do?"
"Nothing child, nothing. I did not wink at you." She then sat still
five minutes longer; but unable to waste such a precious occasion, she
suddenly got up, and saying to Kitty, "Come here, my love, I want to
speak to you," took her out of the room. Jane instantly gave a look
at Elizabeth which spoke her distress at such premeditation, and her
entreaty that _she_ would not give in to it. In a few minutes, Mrs.
Bennet half-opened the door and called out:
"Lizzy, my dear, I want to speak with you."
Elizabeth was forced to go.
"We may as well leave them by themselves you know;" said her mother, as
soon as she was in the hall. "Kitty and I are going up stairs to sit in
my dressing-room."
Elizabeth made no attempt to reason with her mother, but remained
quietly in the hall, till she and Kitty were out of sight, then returned
into the drawing-room.
Mrs. Bennet's schemes for this day were ineffectual. Bingley was every
thing that was charming, except the professed lover of her daughter. His
ease and cheerfulness rendered him a most agreeable addition to their
evening party; and he bore with the ill-judged officiousness of the
mother, and heard all her silly remarks with a forbearance and command
of countenance particularly grateful to the daughter.
He scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper; and before he went
away, an engagement was formed, chiefly through his own and Mrs.
Bennet's means, for his coming next morning to shoot with her husband.
After this day, Jane said no more of her indifference. Not a word passed
between the sisters concerning Bingley; but Elizabeth went to bed in
the happy belief that all must speedily be concluded, unless Mr. Darcy
returned within the stated time. Seriously, however, she felt tolerably
persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentleman's
concurrence.
Bingley was punctual to his appointment; and he and Mr. Bennet spent
the morning together, as had been agreed on. The latter was much more
agreeable than his companion expected. There was nothing of presumption
or folly in Bingley that could provoke his ridicule, or disgust him into
silence; and he was more communicative, and less eccentric, than the
other had ever seen him. Bingley of course returned with him to dinner;
and in the evening Mrs. Bennet's invention was again at work to get
every body away from him and her daughter. Elizabeth, who had a letter
to write, went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea;
for as the others were all going to sit down to cards, she could not be
wanted to counteract her mother's schemes.
But on returning to the drawing-room, when her letter was finished, she
saw, to her infinite surprise, there was reason to fear that her mother
had been too ingenious for her. On opening the door, she perceived her
sister and Bingley standing together over the hearth, as if engaged in
earnest conversation; and had this led to no suspicion, the faces of
both, as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other, would
have told it all. Their situation was awkward enough; but _hers_ she
thought was still worse. Not a syllable was uttered by either; and
Elizabeth was on the point of going away again, when Bingley, who as
well as the other had sat down, suddenly rose, and whispering a few
words to her sister, ran out of the room.
Jane could have no reserves from Elizabeth, where confidence would give
pleasure; and instantly embracing her, acknowledged, with the liveliest
emotion, that she was the happiest creature in the world.
"'Tis too much!" she added, "by far too much. I do not deserve it. Oh!
why is not everybody as happy?"
Elizabeth's congratulations were given with a sincerity, a warmth,
a delight, which words could but poorly express. Every sentence of
kindness was a fresh source of happiness to Jane. But she would not
allow herself to stay with her sister, or say half that remained to be
said for the present.
"I must go instantly to my mother;" she cried. "I would not on any
account trifle with her affectionate solicitude; or allow her to hear it
from anyone but myself. He is gone to my father already. Oh! Lizzy, to
know that what I have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear
family! how shall I bear so much happiness!"
She then hastened away to her mother, who had purposely broken up the
card party, and was sitting up stairs with Kitty.
Elizabeth, who was left by herself, now smiled at the rapidity and ease
with which an affair was finally settled, that had given them so many
previous months of suspense and vexation.
"And this," said she, "is the end of all his friend's anxious
circumspection! of all his sister's falsehood and contrivance! the
happiest, wisest, most reasonable end!"
In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference with her
father had been short and to the purpose.
"Where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.
"With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say."
He then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes
and affection of a sister. Elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed
her delight in the prospect of their relationship. They shook hands with
great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen
to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections;
and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his
expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for
basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of
Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and
himself.
It was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of
Miss Bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as
made her look handsomer than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped
her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent or
speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings,
though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when
Mr. Bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly showed
how really happy he was.
Not a word, however, passed his lips in allusion to it, till their
visitor took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he
turned to his daughter, and said:
"Jane, I congratulate you. You will be a very happy woman."
Jane went to him instantly, kissed him, and thanked him for his
goodness.
"You are a good girl;" he replied, "and I have great pleasure in
thinking you will be so happily settled. I have not a doubt of your
doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unlike. You are
each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so
easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will
always exceed your income."
"I hope not so. Imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be
unpardonable in me."
"Exceed their income! My dear Mr. Bennet," cried his wife, "what are you
talking of? Why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely
more." Then addressing her daughter, "Oh! my dear, dear Jane, I am so
happy! I am sure I shan't get a wink of sleep all night. I knew how it
would be. I always said it must be so, at last. I was sure you could not
be so beautiful for nothing! I remember, as soon as ever I saw him, when
he first came into Hertfordshire last year, I thought how likely it was
that you should come together. Oh! he is the handsomest young man that
ever was seen!"
Wickham, Lydia, were all forgotten. Jane was beyond competition her
favourite child. At that moment, she cared for no other. Her younger
sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness
which she might in future be able to dispense.
Mary petitioned for the use of the library at Netherfield; and Kitty
begged very hard for a few balls there every winter.
Bingley, from this time, was of course a daily visitor at Longbourn;
coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after
supper; unless when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough
detested, had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself
obliged to accept.
Elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for
while he was present, Jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else;
but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours
of separation that must sometimes occur. In the absence of Jane, he
always attached himself to Elizabeth, for the pleasure of talking of
her; and when Bingley was gone, Jane constantly sought the same means of
relief.
"He has made me so happy," said she, one evening, "by telling me that he
was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring! I had not believed
it possible."
"I suspected as much," replied Elizabeth. "But how did he account for
it?"
"It must have been his sister's doing. They were certainly no friends to
his acquaintance with me, which I cannot wonder at, since he might have
chosen so much more advantageously in many respects. But when they see,
as I trust they will, that their brother is happy with me, they will
learn to be contented, and we shall be on good terms again; though we
can never be what we once were to each other."
"That is the most unforgiving speech," said Elizabeth, "that I ever
heard you utter. Good girl! It would vex me, indeed, to see you again
the dupe of Miss Bingley's pretended regard."
"Would you believe it, Lizzy, that when he went to town last November,
he really loved me, and nothing but a persuasion of _my_ being
indifferent would have prevented his coming down again!"
"He made a little mistake to be sure; but it is to the credit of his
modesty."
This naturally introduced a panegyric from Jane on his diffidence, and
the little value he put on his own good qualities. Elizabeth was pleased
to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for,
though Jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she
knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.
"I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried
Jane. "Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled from my family, and blessed
above them all! If I could but see _you_ as happy! If there _were_ but
such another man for you!"
"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as
you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your
happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very
good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time."
The situation of affairs in the Longbourn family could not be long a
secret. Mrs. Bennet was privileged to whisper it to Mrs. Phillips,
and she ventured, without any permission, to do the same by all her
neighbours in Meryton.
The Bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the
world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away,
they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.
Chapter 56
One morning, about a week after Bingley's engagement with Jane had been
formed, as he and the females of the family were sitting together in the
dining-room, their attention was suddenly drawn to the window, by the
sound of a carriage; and they perceived a chaise and four driving up
the lawn. It was too early in the morning for visitors, and besides, the
equipage did not answer to that of any of their neighbours. The horses
were post; and neither the carriage, nor the livery of the servant who
preceded it, were familiar to them. As it was certain, however, that
somebody was coming, Bingley instantly prevailed on Miss Bennet to avoid
the confinement of such an intrusion, and walk away with him into the
shrubbery. They both set off, and the conjectures of the remaining three
continued, though with little satisfaction, till the door was thrown
open and their visitor entered. It was Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
They were of course all intending to be surprised; but their
astonishment was beyond their expectation; and on the part of Mrs.
Bennet and Kitty, though she was perfectly unknown to them, even
inferior to what Elizabeth felt.
She entered the room with an air more than usually ungracious, made no
other reply to Elizabeth's salutation than a slight inclination of the
head, and sat down without saying a word. Elizabeth had mentioned her
name to her mother on her ladyship's entrance, though no request of
introduction had been made.
Mrs. Bennet, all amazement, though flattered by having a guest of such
high importance, received her with the utmost politeness. After sitting
for a moment in silence, she said very stiffly to Elizabeth,
"I hope you are well, Miss Bennet. That lady, I suppose, is your
mother."
Elizabeth replied very concisely that she was.
"And _that_ I suppose is one of your sisters."
"Yes, madam," said Mrs. Bennet, delighted to speak to Lady Catherine.
"She is my youngest girl but one. My youngest of all is lately married,
and my eldest is somewhere about the grounds, walking with a young man
who, I believe, will soon become a part of the family."
"You have a very small park here," returned Lady Catherine after a short
silence.
"It is nothing in comparison of Rosings, my lady, I dare say; but I
assure you it is much larger than Sir William Lucas's."
"This must be a most inconvenient sitting room for the evening, in
summer; the windows are full west."
Mrs. Bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner, and then
added:
"May I take the liberty of asking your ladyship whether you left Mr. and
Mrs. Collins well."
"Yes, very well. I saw them the night before last."
Elizabeth now expected that she would produce a letter for her from
Charlotte, as it seemed the only probable motive for her calling. But no
letter appeared, and she was completely puzzled.
Mrs. Bennet, with great civility, begged her ladyship to take some
refreshment; but Lady Catherine very resolutely, and not very politely,
declined eating anything; and then, rising up, said to Elizabeth,
"Miss Bennet, there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness
on one side of your lawn. I should be glad to take a turn in it, if you
will favour me with your company."
"Go, my dear," cried her mother, "and show her ladyship about the
different walks. I think she will be pleased with the hermitage."
Elizabeth obeyed, and running into her own room for her parasol,
attended her noble guest downstairs. As they passed through the
hall, Lady Catherine opened the doors into the dining-parlour and
drawing-room, and pronouncing them, after a short survey, to be decent
looking rooms, walked on.
Her carriage remained at the door, and Elizabeth saw that her
waiting-woman was in it. They proceeded in silence along the gravel walk
that led to the copse; Elizabeth was determined to make no effort for
conversation with a woman who was now more than usually insolent and
disagreeable.
"How could I ever think her like her nephew?" said she, as she looked in
her face.
As soon as they entered the copse, Lady Catherine began in the following
manner:--
"You can be at no loss, Miss Bennet, to understand the reason of my
journey hither. Your own heart, your own conscience, must tell you why I
come."
Elizabeth looked with unaffected astonishment.
"Indeed, you are mistaken, Madam. I have not been at all able to account
for the honour of seeing you here."
"Miss Bennet," replied her ladyship, in an angry tone, "you ought to
know, that I am not to be trifled with. But however insincere _you_ may
choose to be, you shall not find _me_ so. My character has ever been
celebrated for its sincerity and frankness, and in a cause of such
moment as this, I shall certainly not depart from it. A report of a most
alarming nature reached me two days ago. I was told that not only your
sister was on the point of being most advantageously married, but that
you, that Miss Elizabeth Bennet, would, in all likelihood, be soon
afterwards united to my nephew, my own nephew, Mr. Darcy. Though I
_know_ it must be a scandalous falsehood, though I would not injure him
so much as to suppose the truth of it possible, I instantly resolved
on setting off for this place, that I might make my sentiments known to
you."
"If you believed it impossible to be true," said Elizabeth, colouring
with astonishment and disdain, "I wonder you took the trouble of coming
so far. What could your ladyship propose by it?"
"At once to insist upon having such a report universally contradicted."
"Your coming to Longbourn, to see me and my family," said Elizabeth
coolly, "will be rather a confirmation of it; if, indeed, such a report
is in existence."
"If! Do you then pretend to be ignorant of it? Has it not been
industriously circulated by yourselves? Do you not know that such a
report is spread abroad?"
"I never heard that it was."
"And can you likewise declare, that there is no foundation for it?"
"I do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship. You may
ask questions which I shall not choose to answer."
"This is not to be borne. Miss Bennet, I insist on being satisfied. Has
he, has my nephew, made you an offer of marriage?"
"Your ladyship has declared it to be impossible."
"It ought to be so; it must be so, while he retains the use of his
reason. But your arts and allurements may, in a moment of infatuation,
have made him forget what he owes to himself and to all his family. You
may have drawn him in."
"If I have, I shall be the last person to confess it."
"Miss Bennet, do you know who I am? I have not been accustomed to such
language as this. I am almost the nearest relation he has in the world,
and am entitled to know all his dearest concerns."
"But you are not entitled to know mine; nor will such behaviour as this,
ever induce me to be explicit."
"Let me be rightly understood. This match, to which you have the
presumption to aspire, can never take place. No, never. Mr. Darcy is
engaged to my daughter. Now what have you to say?"
"Only this; that if he is so, you can have no reason to suppose he will
make an offer to me."
Lady Catherine hesitated for a moment, and then replied:
"The engagement between them is of a peculiar kind. From their infancy,
they have been intended for each other. It was the favourite wish of
_his_ mother, as well as of hers. While in their cradles, we planned
the union: and now, at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would
be accomplished in their marriage, to be prevented by a young woman of
inferior birth, of no importance in the world, and wholly unallied to
the family! Do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends? To his
tacit engagement with Miss de Bourgh? Are you lost to every feeling of
propriety and delicacy? Have you not heard me say that from his earliest
hours he was destined for his cousin?"
"Yes, and I had heard it before. But what is that to me? If there is
no other objection to my marrying your nephew, I shall certainly not
be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to
marry Miss de Bourgh. You both did as much as you could in planning the
marriage. Its completion depended on others. If Mr. Darcy is neither
by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin, why is not he to make
another choice? And if I am that choice, why may not I accept him?"
"Because honour, decorum, prudence, nay, interest, forbid it. Yes,
Miss Bennet, interest; for do not expect to be noticed by his family or
friends, if you wilfully act against the inclinations of all. You will
be censured, slighted, and despised, by everyone connected with him.
Your alliance will be a disgrace; your name will never even be mentioned
by any of us."
"These are heavy misfortunes," replied Elizabeth. "But the wife of Mr.
Darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily
attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause
to repine."
"Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you! Is this your gratitude
for my attentions to you last spring? Is nothing due to me on that
score? Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came
here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will
I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used to submit to any person's
whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment."
"_That_ will make your ladyship's situation at present more pitiable;
but it will have no effect on me."
"I will not be interrupted. Hear me in silence. My daughter and my
nephew are formed for each other. They are descended, on the maternal
side, from the same noble line; and, on the father's, from respectable,
honourable, and ancient--though untitled--families. Their fortune on
both sides is splendid. They are destined for each other by the voice of
every member of their respective houses; and what is to divide them?
The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections,
or fortune. Is this to be endured! But it must not, shall not be. If you
were sensible of your own good, you would not wish to quit the sphere in
which you have been brought up."
"In marrying your nephew, I should not consider myself as quitting that
sphere. He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are
equal."
"True. You _are_ a gentleman's daughter. But who was your mother?
Who are your uncles and aunts? Do not imagine me ignorant of their
condition."
"Whatever my connections may be," said Elizabeth, "if your nephew does
not object to them, they can be nothing to _you_."
"Tell me once for all, are you engaged to him?"
Though Elizabeth would not, for the mere purpose of obliging Lady
Catherine, have answered this question, she could not but say, after a
moment's deliberation:
"I am not."
Lady Catherine seemed pleased.
"And will you promise me, never to enter into such an engagement?"
"I will make no promise of the kind."
"Miss Bennet I am shocked and astonished. I expected to find a more
reasonable young woman. But do not deceive yourself into a belief that
I will ever recede. I shall not go away till you have given me the
assurance I require."
"And I certainly _never_ shall give it. I am not to be intimidated into
anything so wholly unreasonable. Your ladyship wants Mr. Darcy to marry
your daughter; but would my giving you the wished-for promise make their
marriage at all more probable? Supposing him to be attached to me, would
my refusing to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cousin?
Allow me to say, Lady Catherine, that the arguments with which you have
supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the
application was ill-judged. You have widely mistaken my character, if
you think I can be worked on by such persuasions as these. How far your
nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs, I cannot tell;
but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine. I must beg,
therefore, to be importuned no farther on the subject."
"Not so hasty, if you please. I have by no means done. To all the
objections I have already urged, I have still another to add. I am
no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sister's infamous
elopement. I know it all; that the young man's marrying her was a
patched-up business, at the expence of your father and uncles. And is
such a girl to be my nephew's sister? Is her husband, is the son of his
late father's steward, to be his brother? Heaven and earth!--of what are
you thinking? Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?"
"You can now have nothing further to say," she resentfully answered.
"You have insulted me in every possible method. I must beg to return to
the house."
And she rose as she spoke. Lady Catherine rose also, and they turned
back. Her ladyship was highly incensed.
"You have no regard, then, for the honour and credit of my nephew!
Unfeeling, selfish girl! Do you not consider that a connection with you
must disgrace him in the eyes of everybody?"
"Lady Catherine, I have nothing further to say. You know my sentiments."
"You are then resolved to have him?"
"I have said no such thing. I am only resolved to act in that manner,
which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without
reference to _you_, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me."
"It is well. You refuse, then, to oblige me. You refuse to obey the
claims of duty, honour, and gratitude. You are determined to ruin him in
the opinion of all his friends, and make him the contempt of the world."
"Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude," replied Elizabeth, "have any
possible claim on me, in the present instance. No principle of either
would be violated by my marriage with Mr. Darcy. And with regard to the
resentment of his family, or the indignation of the world, if the former
_were_ excited by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment's
concern--and the world in general would have too much sense to join in
the scorn."
"And this is your real opinion! This is your final resolve! Very well.
I shall now know how to act. Do not imagine, Miss Bennet, that your
ambition will ever be gratified. I came to try you. I hoped to find you
reasonable; but, depend upon it, I will carry my point."
In this manner Lady Catherine talked on, till they were at the door of
the carriage, when, turning hastily round, she added, "I take no leave
of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve
no such attention. I am most seriously displeased."
Elizabeth made no answer; and without attempting to persuade her
ladyship to return into the house, walked quietly into it herself. She
heard the carriage drive away as she proceeded up stairs. Her mother
impatiently met her at the door of the dressing-room, to ask why Lady
Catherine would not come in again and rest herself.
"She did not choose it," said her daughter, "she would go."
"She is a very fine-looking woman! and her calling here was prodigiously
civil! for she only came, I suppose, to tell us the Collinses were
well. She is on her road somewhere, I dare say, and so, passing through
Meryton, thought she might as well call on you. I suppose she had
nothing particular to say to you, Lizzy?"
Elizabeth was forced to give into a little falsehood here; for to
acknowledge the substance of their conversation was impossible.
Chapter 57
The discomposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw
Elizabeth into, could not be easily overcome; nor could she, for many
hours, learn to think of it less than incessantly. Lady Catherine, it
appeared, had actually taken the trouble of this journey from Rosings,
for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed engagement with Mr.
Darcy. It was a rational scheme, to be sure! but from what the report
of their engagement could originate, Elizabeth was at a loss to imagine;
till she recollected that _his_ being the intimate friend of Bingley,
and _her_ being the sister of Jane, was enough, at a time when the
expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another, to supply
the idea. She had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her
sister must bring them more frequently together. And her neighbours
at Lucas Lodge, therefore (for through their communication with the
Collinses, the report, she concluded, had reached Lady Catherine), had
only set that down as almost certain and immediate, which she had looked
forward to as possible at some future time.
In revolving Lady Catherine's expressions, however, she could not help
feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence of her persisting
in this interference. From what she had said of her resolution to
prevent their marriage, it occurred to Elizabeth that she must meditate
an application to her nephew; and how _he_ might take a similar
representation of the evils attached to a connection with her, she dared
not pronounce. She knew not the exact degree of his affection for his
aunt, or his dependence on her judgment, but it was natural to suppose
that he thought much higher of her ladyship than _she_ could do; and it
was certain that, in enumerating the miseries of a marriage with _one_,
whose immediate connections were so unequal to his own, his aunt would
address him on his weakest side. With his notions of dignity, he would
probably feel that the arguments, which to Elizabeth had appeared weak
and ridiculous, contained much good sense and solid reasoning.
If he had been wavering before as to what he should do, which had often
seemed likely, the advice and entreaty of so near a relation might
settle every doubt, and determine him at once to be as happy as dignity
unblemished could make him. In that case he would return no more. Lady
Catherine might see him in her way through town; and his engagement to
Bingley of coming again to Netherfield must give way.
"If, therefore, an excuse for not keeping his promise should come to his
friend within a few days," she added, "I shall know how to understand
it. I shall then give over every expectation, every wish of his
constancy. If he is satisfied with only regretting me, when he might
have obtained my affections and hand, I shall soon cease to regret him
at all."
                          * * * * *
The surprise of the rest of the family, on hearing who their visitor had
been, was very great; but they obligingly satisfied it, with the same
kind of supposition which had appeased Mrs. Bennet's curiosity; and
Elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject.
The next morning, as she was going downstairs, she was met by her
father, who came out of his library with a letter in his hand.
"Lizzy," said he, "I was going to look for you; come into my room."
She followed him thither; and her curiosity to know what he had to
tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner
connected with the letter he held. It suddenly struck her that it
might be from Lady Catherine; and she anticipated with dismay all the
consequent explanations.
She followed her father to the fire place, and they both sat down. He
then said,
"I have received a letter this morning that has astonished me
exceedingly. As it principally concerns yourself, you ought to know its
contents. I did not know before, that I had two daughters on the brink
of matrimony. Let me congratulate you on a very important conquest."
The colour now rushed into Elizabeth's cheeks in the instantaneous
conviction of its being a letter from the nephew, instead of the aunt;
and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained
himself at all, or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to
herself; when her father continued:
"You look conscious. Young ladies have great penetration in such matters
as these; but I think I may defy even _your_ sagacity, to discover the
name of your admirer. This letter is from Mr. Collins."
"From Mr. Collins! and what can _he_ have to say?"
"Something very much to the purpose of course. He begins with
congratulations on the approaching nuptials of my eldest daughter, of
which, it seems, he has been told by some of the good-natured, gossiping
Lucases. I shall not sport with your impatience, by reading what he says
on that point. What relates to yourself, is as follows: 'Having thus
offered you the sincere congratulations of Mrs. Collins and myself on
this happy event, let me now add a short hint on the subject of another;
of which we have been advertised by the same authority. Your daughter
Elizabeth, it is presumed, will not long bear the name of Bennet, after
her elder sister has resigned it, and the chosen partner of her fate may
be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in
this land.'
"Can you possibly guess, Lizzy, who is meant by this? 'This young
gentleman is blessed, in a peculiar way, with every thing the heart of
mortal can most desire,--splendid property, noble kindred, and extensive
patronage. Yet in spite of all these temptations, let me warn my cousin
Elizabeth, and yourself, of what evils you may incur by a precipitate
closure with this gentleman's proposals, which, of course, you will be
inclined to take immediate advantage of.'
"Have you any idea, Lizzy, who this gentleman is? But now it comes out:
"'My motive for cautioning you is as follows. We have reason to imagine
that his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does not look on the match with
a friendly eye.'
"_Mr. Darcy_, you see, is the man! Now, Lizzy, I think I _have_
surprised you. Could he, or the Lucases, have pitched on any man within
the circle of our acquaintance, whose name would have given the lie
more effectually to what they related? Mr. Darcy, who never looks at any
woman but to see a blemish, and who probably never looked at you in his
life! It is admirable!"
Elizabeth tried to join in her father's pleasantry, but could only force
one most reluctant smile. Never had his wit been directed in a manner so
little agreeable to her.
"Are you not diverted?"
"Oh! yes. Pray read on."
"'After mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last
night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she
felt on the occasion; when it became apparent, that on the score of some
family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her
consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. I thought it my duty
to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and
her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run
hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned.' Mr.
Collins moreover adds, 'I am truly rejoiced that my cousin Lydia's sad
business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their
living together before the marriage took place should be so generally
known. I must not, however, neglect the duties of my station, or refrain
from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young
couple into your house as soon as they were married. It was an
encouragement of vice; and had I been the rector of Longbourn, I should
very strenuously have opposed it. You ought certainly to forgive them,
as a Christian, but never to admit them in your sight, or allow their
names to be mentioned in your hearing.' That is his notion of Christian
forgiveness! The rest of his letter is only about his dear Charlotte's
situation, and his expectation of a young olive-branch. But, Lizzy, you
look as if you did not enjoy it. You are not going to be _missish_,
I hope, and pretend to be affronted at an idle report. For what do we
live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our
turn?"
"Oh!" cried Elizabeth, "I am excessively diverted. But it is so
strange!"
"Yes--_that_ is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man
it would have been nothing; but _his_ perfect indifference, and _your_
pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd! Much as I abominate
writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any
consideration. Nay, when I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving
him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and
hypocrisy of my son-in-law. And pray, Lizzy, what said Lady Catherine
about this report? Did she call to refuse her consent?"
To this question his daughter replied only with a laugh; and as it had
been asked without the least suspicion, she was not distressed by
his repeating it. Elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her
feelings appear what they were not. It was necessary to laugh, when she
would rather have cried. Her father had most cruelly mortified her, by
what he said of Mr. Darcy's indifference, and she could do nothing but
wonder at such a want of penetration, or fear that perhaps, instead of
his seeing too little, she might have fancied too much.
Chapter 58
Instead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend, as
Elizabeth half expected Mr. Bingley to do, he was able to bring Darcy
with him to Longbourn before many days had passed after Lady Catherine's
visit. The gentlemen arrived early; and, before Mrs. Bennet had time
to tell him of their having seen his aunt, of which her daughter sat
in momentary dread, Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane, proposed
their all walking out. It was agreed to. Mrs. Bennet was not in the
habit of walking; Mary could never spare time; but the remaining five
set off together. Bingley and Jane, however, soon allowed the others
to outstrip them. They lagged behind, while Elizabeth, Kitty, and Darcy
were to entertain each other. Very little was said by either; Kitty
was too much afraid of him to talk; Elizabeth was secretly forming a
desperate resolution; and perhaps he might be doing the same.
They walked towards the Lucases, because Kitty wished to call upon
Maria; and as Elizabeth saw no occasion for making it a general concern,
when Kitty left them she went boldly on with him alone. Now was the
moment for her resolution to be executed, and, while her courage was
high, she immediately said:
"Mr. Darcy, I am a very selfish creature; and, for the sake of giving
relief to my own feelings, care not how much I may be wounding yours. I
can no longer help thanking you for your unexampled kindness to my
poor sister. Ever since I have known it, I have been most anxious to
acknowledge to you how gratefully I feel it. Were it known to the rest
of my family, I should not have merely my own gratitude to express."
"I am sorry, exceedingly sorry," replied Darcy, in a tone of surprise
and emotion, "that you have ever been informed of what may, in a
mistaken light, have given you uneasiness. I did not think Mrs. Gardiner
was so little to be trusted."
"You must not blame my aunt. Lydia's thoughtlessness first betrayed to
me that you had been concerned in the matter; and, of course, I could
not rest till I knew the particulars. Let me thank you again and again,
in the name of all my family, for that generous compassion which induced
you to take so much trouble, and bear so many mortifications, for the
sake of discovering them."
"If you _will_ thank me," he replied, "let it be for yourself alone.
That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other
inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your
_family_ owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought
only of _you_."
Elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word. After a short pause,
her companion added, "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your
feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. _My_
affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence
me on this subject for ever."
Elizabeth, feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of
his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not
very fluently, gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone
so material a change, since the period to which he alluded, as to make
her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances. The
happiness which this reply produced, was such as he had probably never
felt before; and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly and as
warmly as a man violently in love can be supposed to do. Had Elizabeth
been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the
expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him;
but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of
feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his
affection every moment more valuable.
They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to
be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects. She
soon learnt that they were indebted for their present good understanding
to the efforts of his aunt, who did call on him in her return through
London, and there relate her journey to Longbourn, its motive, and the
substance of her conversation with Elizabeth; dwelling emphatically on
every expression of the latter which, in her ladyship's apprehension,
peculiarly denoted her perverseness and assurance; in the belief that
such a relation must assist her endeavours to obtain that promise
from her nephew which she had refused to give. But, unluckily for her
ladyship, its effect had been exactly contrariwise.
"It taught me to hope," said he, "as I had scarcely ever allowed myself
to hope before. I knew enough of your disposition to be certain that,
had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have
acknowledged it to Lady Catherine, frankly and openly."
Elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied, "Yes, you know enough
of my frankness to believe me capable of _that_. After abusing you so
abominably to your face, I could have no scruple in abusing you to all
your relations."
"What did you say of me, that I did not deserve? For, though your
accusations were ill-founded, formed on mistaken premises, my
behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof. It was
unpardonable. I cannot think of it without abhorrence."
"We will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that
evening," said Elizabeth. "The conduct of neither, if strictly examined,
will be irreproachable; but since then, we have both, I hope, improved
in civility."
"I cannot be so easily reconciled to myself. The recollection of what I
then said, of my conduct, my manners, my expressions during the whole of
it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful to me. Your
reproof, so well applied, I shall never forget: 'had you behaved in a
more gentlemanlike manner.' Those were your words. You know not, you can
scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me;--though it was some time,
I confess, before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice."
"I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an
impression. I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such
a way."
"I can easily believe it. You thought me then devoid of every proper
feeling, I am sure you did. The turn of your countenance I shall never
forget, as you said that I could not have addressed you in any possible
way that would induce you to accept me."
"Oh! do not repeat what I then said. These recollections will not do at
all. I assure you that I have long been most heartily ashamed of it."
Darcy mentioned his letter. "Did it," said he, "did it soon make you
think better of me? Did you, on reading it, give any credit to its
contents?"
She explained what its effect on her had been, and how gradually all her
former prejudices had been removed.
"I knew," said he, "that what I wrote must give you pain, but it was
necessary. I hope you have destroyed the letter. There was one part
especially, the opening of it, which I should dread your having the
power of reading again. I can remember some expressions which might
justly make you hate me."
"The letter shall certainly be burnt, if you believe it essential to the
preservation of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my
opinions not entirely unalterable, they are not, I hope, quite so easily
changed as that implies."
"When I wrote that letter," replied Darcy, "I believed myself perfectly
calm and cool, but I am since convinced that it was written in a
dreadful bitterness of spirit."
"The letter, perhaps, began in bitterness, but it did not end so. The
adieu is charity itself. But think no more of the letter. The feelings
of the person who wrote, and the person who received it, are now
so widely different from what they were then, that every unpleasant
circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten. You must learn some
of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you
pleasure."
"I cannot give you credit for any philosophy of the kind. Your
retrospections must be so totally void of reproach, that the contentment
arising from them is not of philosophy, but, what is much better, of
innocence. But with me, it is not so. Painful recollections will intrude
which cannot, which ought not, to be repelled. I have been a selfish
being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I
was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I
was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.
Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt
by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all
that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught
me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family
circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least
to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I
was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been
but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You
taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you,
I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception.
You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman
worthy of being pleased."
"Had you then persuaded yourself that I should?"
"Indeed I had. What will you think of my vanity? I believed you to be
wishing, expecting my addresses."
"My manners must have been in fault, but not intentionally, I assure
you. I never meant to deceive you, but my spirits might often lead me
wrong. How you must have hated me after _that_ evening?"
"Hate you! I was angry perhaps at first, but my anger soon began to take
a proper direction."
"I am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me, when we met at
Pemberley. You blamed me for coming?"
"No indeed; I felt nothing but surprise."
"Your surprise could not be greater than _mine_ in being noticed by you.
My conscience told me that I deserved no extraordinary politeness, and I
confess that I did not expect to receive _more_ than my due."
"My object then," replied Darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in
my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to
obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you
see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes
introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an
hour after I had seen you."
He then told her of Georgiana's delight in her acquaintance, and of her
disappointment at its sudden interruption; which naturally leading to
the cause of that interruption, she soon learnt that his resolution of
following her from Derbyshire in quest of her sister had been formed
before he quitted the inn, and that his gravity and thoughtfulness
there had arisen from no other struggles than what such a purpose must
comprehend.
She expressed her gratitude again, but it was too painful a subject to
each, to be dwelt on farther.
After walking several miles in a leisurely manner, and too busy to know
anything about it, they found at last, on examining their watches, that
it was time to be at home.
"What could become of Mr. Bingley and Jane!" was a wonder which
introduced the discussion of their affairs. Darcy was delighted with
their engagement; his friend had given him the earliest information of
it.
"I must ask whether you were surprised?" said Elizabeth.
"Not at all. When I went away, I felt that it would soon happen."
"That is to say, you had given your permission. I guessed as much." And
though he exclaimed at the term, she found that it had been pretty much
the case.
"On the evening before my going to London," said he, "I made a
confession to him, which I believe I ought to have made long ago. I
told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference in his
affairs absurd and impertinent. His surprise was great. He had never had
the slightest suspicion. I told him, moreover, that I believed myself
mistaken in supposing, as I had done, that your sister was indifferent
to him; and as I could easily perceive that his attachment to her was
unabated, I felt no doubt of their happiness together."
Elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing his
friend.
"Did you speak from your own observation," said she, "when you told him
that my sister loved him, or merely from my information last spring?"
"From the former. I had narrowly observed her during the two visits
which I had lately made here; and I was convinced of her affection."
"And your assurance of it, I suppose, carried immediate conviction to
him."
"It did. Bingley is most unaffectedly modest. His diffidence had
prevented his depending on his own judgment in so anxious a case, but
his reliance on mine made every thing easy. I was obliged to confess
one thing, which for a time, and not unjustly, offended him. I could not
allow myself to conceal that your sister had been in town three months
last winter, that I had known it, and purposely kept it from him. He was
angry. But his anger, I am persuaded, lasted no longer than he remained
in any doubt of your sister's sentiments. He has heartily forgiven me
now."
Elizabeth longed to observe that Mr. Bingley had been a most delightful
friend; so easily guided that his worth was invaluable; but she checked
herself. She remembered that he had yet to learn to be laughed at,
and it was rather too early to begin. In anticipating the happiness
of Bingley, which of course was to be inferior only to his own, he
continued the conversation till they reached the house. In the hall they
parted.
Chapter 59
"My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?" was a question
which Elizabeth received from Jane as soon as she entered their room,
and from all the others when they sat down to table. She had only to
say in reply, that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her own
knowledge. She coloured as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything
else, awakened a suspicion of the truth.
The evening passed quietly, unmarked by anything extraordinary. The
acknowledged lovers talked and laughed, the unacknowledged were silent.
Darcy was not of a disposition in which happiness overflows in mirth;
and Elizabeth, agitated and confused, rather _knew_ that she was happy
than _felt_ herself to be so; for, besides the immediate embarrassment,
there were other evils before her. She anticipated what would be felt
in the family when her situation became known; she was aware that no
one liked him but Jane; and even feared that with the others it was a
dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away.
At night she opened her heart to Jane. Though suspicion was very far
from Miss Bennet's general habits, she was absolutely incredulous here.
"You are joking, Lizzy. This cannot be!--engaged to Mr. Darcy! No, no,
you shall not deceive me. I know it to be impossible."
"This is a wretched beginning indeed! My sole dependence was on you; and
I am sure nobody else will believe me, if you do not. Yet, indeed, I am
in earnest. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves me, and we are
engaged."
Jane looked at her doubtingly. "Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much
you dislike him."
"You know nothing of the matter. _That_ is all to be forgot. Perhaps I
did not always love him so well as I do now. But in such cases as
these, a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever
remember it myself."
Miss Bennet still looked all amazement. Elizabeth again, and more
seriously assured her of its truth.
"Good Heaven! can it be really so! Yet now I must believe you," cried
Jane. "My dear, dear Lizzy, I would--I do congratulate you--but are you
certain? forgive the question--are you quite certain that you can be
happy with him?"
"There can be no doubt of that. It is settled between us already, that
we are to be the happiest couple in the world. But are you pleased,
Jane? Shall you like to have such a brother?"
"Very, very much. Nothing could give either Bingley or myself more
delight. But we considered it, we talked of it as impossible. And do you
really love him quite well enough? Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than
marry without affection. Are you quite sure that you feel what you ought
to do?"
"Oh, yes! You will only think I feel _more_ than I ought to do, when I
tell you all."
"What do you mean?"
"Why, I must confess that I love him better than I do Bingley. I am
afraid you will be angry."
"My dearest sister, now _be_ serious. I want to talk very seriously. Let
me know every thing that I am to know, without delay. Will you tell me
how long you have loved him?"
"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began.
But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds
at Pemberley."
Another entreaty that she would be serious, however, produced the
desired effect; and she soon satisfied Jane by her solemn assurances
of attachment. When convinced on that article, Miss Bennet had nothing
further to wish.
"Now I am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself.
I always had a value for him. Were it for nothing but his love of you,
I must always have esteemed him; but now, as Bingley's friend and your
husband, there can be only Bingley and yourself more dear to me. But
Lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved with me. How little did you
tell me of what passed at Pemberley and Lambton! I owe all that I know
of it to another, not to you."
Elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy. She had been unwilling
to mention Bingley; and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made
her equally avoid the name of his friend. But now she would no longer
conceal from her his share in Lydia's marriage. All was acknowledged,
and half the night spent in conversation.

"Good gracious!" cried Mrs. Bennet, as she stood at a window the next
morning, "if that disagreeable Mr. Darcy is not coming here again with
our dear Bingley! What can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always
coming here? I had no notion but he would go a-shooting, or something or
other, and not disturb us with his company. What shall we do with him?
Lizzy, you must walk out with him again, that he may not be in Bingley's
way."
Elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal; yet
was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an
epithet.
As soon as they entered, Bingley looked at her so expressively, and
shook hands with such warmth, as left no doubt of his good information;
and he soon afterwards said aloud, "Mrs. Bennet, have you no more lanes
hereabouts in which Lizzy may lose her way again to-day?"
"I advise Mr. Darcy, and Lizzy, and Kitty," said Mrs. Bennet, "to walk
to Oakham Mount this morning. It is a nice long walk, and Mr. Darcy has
never seen the view."
"It may do very well for the others," replied Mr. Bingley; "but I am
sure it will be too much for Kitty. Won't it, Kitty?" Kitty owned that
she had rather stay at home. Darcy professed a great curiosity to see
the view from the Mount, and Elizabeth silently consented. As she went
up stairs to get ready, Mrs. Bennet followed her, saying:
"I am quite sorry, Lizzy, that you should be forced to have that
disagreeable man all to yourself. But I hope you will not mind it: it is
all for Jane's sake, you know; and there is no occasion for talking
to him, except just now and then. So, do not put yourself to
inconvenience."
During their walk, it was resolved that Mr. Bennet's consent should be
asked in the course of the evening. Elizabeth reserved to herself the
application for her mother's. She could not determine how her mother
would take it; sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur
would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man. But whether she
were violently set against the match, or violently delighted with it, it
was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit
to her sense; and she could no more bear that Mr. Darcy should hear
the first raptures of her joy, than the first vehemence of her
disapprobation.
                          * * * * *
In the evening, soon after Mr. Bennet withdrew to the library, she saw
Mr. Darcy rise also and follow him, and her agitation on seeing it was
extreme. She did not fear her father's opposition, but he was going to
be made unhappy; and that it should be through her means--that _she_,
his favourite child, should be distressing him by her choice, should be
filling him with fears and regrets in disposing of her--was a wretched
reflection, and she sat in misery till Mr. Darcy appeared again, when,
looking at him, she was a little relieved by his smile. In a few minutes
he approached the table where she was sitting with Kitty; and, while
pretending to admire her work said in a whisper, "Go to your father, he
wants you in the library." She was gone directly.
Her father was walking about the room, looking grave and anxious.
"Lizzy," said he, "what are you doing? Are you out of your senses, to be
accepting this man? Have not you always hated him?"
How earnestly did she then wish that her former opinions had been more
reasonable, her expressions more moderate! It would have spared her from
explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give;
but they were now necessary, and she assured him, with some confusion,
of her attachment to Mr. Darcy.
"Or, in other words, you are determined to have him. He is rich, to be
sure, and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than Jane.
But will they make you happy?"
"Have you any other objection," said Elizabeth, "than your belief of my
indifference?"
"None at all. We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but
this would be nothing if you really liked him."
"I do, I do like him," she replied, with tears in her eyes, "I love him.
Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not
know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in
such terms."
"Lizzy," said her father, "I have given him my consent. He is the kind
of man, indeed, to whom I should never dare refuse anything, which he
condescended to ask. I now give it to _you_, if you are resolved on
having him. But let me advise you to think better of it. I know
your disposition, Lizzy. I know that you could be neither happy nor
respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband; unless you looked
up to him as a superior. Your lively talents would place you in the
greatest danger in an unequal marriage. You could scarcely escape
discredit and misery. My child, let me not have the grief of seeing
_you_ unable to respect your partner in life. You know not what you are
about."
Elizabeth, still more affected, was earnest and solemn in her reply; and
at length, by repeated assurances that Mr. Darcy was really the object
of her choice, by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of
him had undergone, relating her absolute certainty that his affection
was not the work of a day, but had stood the test of many months'
suspense, and enumerating with energy all his good qualities, she did
conquer her father's incredulity, and reconcile him to the match.
"Well, my dear," said he, when she ceased speaking, "I have no more to
say. If this be the case, he deserves you. I could not have parted with
you, my Lizzy, to anyone less worthy."
To complete the favourable impression, she then told him what Mr. Darcy
had voluntarily done for Lydia. He heard her with astonishment.
"This is an evening of wonders, indeed! And so, Darcy did every thing;
made up the match, gave the money, paid the fellow's debts, and got him
his commission! So much the better. It will save me a world of trouble
and economy. Had it been your uncle's doing, I must and _would_ have
paid him; but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own
way. I shall offer to pay him to-morrow; he will rant and storm about
his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter."
He then recollected her embarrassment a few days before, on his reading
Mr. Collins's letter; and after laughing at her some time, allowed her
at last to go--saying, as she quitted the room, "If any young men come
for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at leisure."
Elizabeth's mind was now relieved from a very heavy weight; and, after
half an hour's quiet reflection in her own room, she was able to join
the others with tolerable composure. Every thing was too recent for
gaiety, but the evening passed tranquilly away; there was no longer
anything material to be dreaded, and the comfort of ease and familiarity
would come in time.
When her mother went up to her dressing-room at night, she followed her,
and made the important communication. Its effect was most extraordinary;
for on first hearing it, Mrs. Bennet sat quite still, and unable to
utter a syllable. Nor was it under many, many minutes that she could
comprehend what she heard; though not in general backward to credit
what was for the advantage of her family, or that came in the shape of a
lover to any of them. She began at length to recover, to fidget about in
her chair, get up, sit down again, wonder, and bless herself.
"Good gracious! Lord bless me! only think! dear me! Mr. Darcy! Who would
have thought it! And is it really true? Oh! my sweetest Lizzy! how rich
and how great you will be! What pin-money, what jewels, what carriages
you will have! Jane's is nothing to it--nothing at all. I am so
pleased--so happy. Such a charming man!--so handsome! so tall!--Oh, my
dear Lizzy! pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before. I
hope he will overlook it. Dear, dear Lizzy. A house in town! Every thing
that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten thousand a year! Oh,
Lord! What will become of me. I shall go distracted."
This was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted: and
Elizabeth, rejoicing that such an effusion was heard only by herself,
soon went away. But before she had been three minutes in her own room,
her mother followed her.
"My dearest child," she cried, "I can think of nothing else! Ten
thousand a year, and very likely more! 'Tis as good as a Lord! And a
special licence. You must and shall be married by a special licence. But
my dearest love, tell me what dish Mr. Darcy is particularly fond of,
that I may have it to-morrow."
This was a sad omen of what her mother's behaviour to the gentleman
himself might be; and Elizabeth found that, though in the certain
possession of his warmest affection, and secure of her relations'
consent, there was still something to be wished for. But the morrow
passed off much better than she expected; for Mrs. Bennet luckily stood
in such awe of her intended son-in-law that she ventured not to speak to
him, unless it was in her power to offer him any attention, or mark her
deference for his opinion.
Elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get
acquainted with him; and Mr. Bennet soon assured her that he was rising
every hour in his esteem.
"I admire all my three sons-in-law highly," said he. "Wickham, perhaps,
is my favourite; but I think I shall like _your_ husband quite as well
as Jane's."
Chapter 60
Elizabeth's spirits soon rising to playfulness again, she wanted Mr.
Darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her. "How could
you begin?" said she. "I can comprehend your going on charmingly, when
you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first
place?"
"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which
laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I
knew that I _had_ begun."
"My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners--my behaviour
to _you_ was at least always bordering on the uncivil, and I never spoke
to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not. Now be sincere;
did you admire me for my impertinence?"
"For the liveliness of your mind, I did."
"You may as well call it impertinence at once. It was very little less.
The fact is, that you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious
attention. You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking,
and looking, and thinking for _your_ approbation alone. I roused, and
interested you, because I was so unlike _them_. Had you not been really
amiable, you would have hated me for it; but in spite of the pains you
took to disguise yourself, your feelings were always noble and just; and
in your heart, you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously
courted you. There--I have saved you the trouble of accounting for
it; and really, all things considered, I begin to think it perfectly
reasonable. To be sure, you knew no actual good of me--but nobody thinks
of _that_ when they fall in love."
"Was there no good in your affectionate behaviour to Jane while she was
ill at Netherfield?"
"Dearest Jane! who could have done less for her? But make a virtue of it
by all means. My good qualities are under your protection, and you are
to exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me
to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may
be; and I shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling
to come to the point at last. What made you so shy of me, when you first
called, and afterwards dined here? Why, especially, when you called, did
you look as if you did not care about me?"
"Because you were grave and silent, and gave me no encouragement."
"But I was embarrassed."
"And so was I."
"You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."
"A man who had felt less, might."
"How unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give, and that
I should be so reasonable as to admit it! But I wonder how long you
_would_ have gone on, if you had been left to yourself. I wonder when
you _would_ have spoken, if I had not asked you! My resolution of
thanking you for your kindness to Lydia had certainly great effect.
_Too much_, I am afraid; for what becomes of the moral, if our comfort
springs from a breach of promise? for I ought not to have mentioned the
subject. This will never do."
"You need not distress yourself. The moral will be perfectly fair. Lady
Catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of
removing all my doubts. I am not indebted for my present happiness to
your eager desire of expressing your gratitude. I was not in a humour
to wait for any opening of yours. My aunt's intelligence had given me
hope, and I was determined at once to know every thing."
"Lady Catherine has been of infinite use, which ought to make her happy,
for she loves to be of use. But tell me, what did you come down to
Netherfield for? Was it merely to ride to Longbourn and be embarrassed?
or had you intended any more serious consequence?"
"My real purpose was to see _you_, and to judge, if I could, whether I
might ever hope to make you love me. My avowed one, or what I avowed to
myself, was to see whether your sister were still partial to Bingley,
and if she were, to make the confession to him which I have since made."
"Shall you ever have courage to announce to Lady Catherine what is to
befall her?"
"I am more likely to want more time than courage, Elizabeth. But it
ought to be done, and if you will give me a sheet of paper, it shall be
done directly."
"And if I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you and
admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But
I have an aunt, too, who must not be longer neglected."
From an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with Mr. Darcy
had been over-rated, Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs. Gardiner's
long letter; but now, having _that_ to communicate which she knew would
be most welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and
aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and immediately wrote as
follows:
"I would have thanked you before, my dear aunt, as I ought to have done,
for your long, kind, satisfactory, detail of particulars; but to say the
truth, I was too cross to write. You supposed more than really existed.
But _now_ suppose as much as you choose; give a loose rein to your
fancy, indulge your imagination in every possible flight which the
subject will afford, and unless you believe me actually married, you
cannot greatly err. You must write again very soon, and praise him a
great deal more than you did in your last. I thank you, again and again,
for not going to the Lakes. How could I be so silly as to wish it! Your
idea of the ponies is delightful. We will go round the Park every day. I
am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so
before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she
only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world that
he can spare from me. You are all to come to Pemberley at Christmas.
Yours, etc."
Mr. Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style; and still
different from either was what Mr. Bennet sent to Mr. Collins, in reply
to his last.
"DEAR SIR,
"I must trouble you once more for congratulations. Elizabeth will soon
be the wife of Mr. Darcy. Console Lady Catherine as well as you can.
But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give.
"Yours sincerely, etc."
Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching
marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere. She wrote even
to Jane on the occasion, to express her delight, and repeat all her
former professions of regard. Jane was not deceived, but she was
affected; and though feeling no reliance on her, could not help writing
her a much kinder answer than she knew was deserved.
The joy which Miss Darcy expressed on receiving similar information,
was as sincere as her brother's in sending it. Four sides of paper were
insufficient to contain all her delight, and all her earnest desire of
being loved by her sister.
Before any answer could arrive from Mr. Collins, or any congratulations
to Elizabeth from his wife, the Longbourn family heard that the
Collinses were come themselves to Lucas Lodge. The reason of this
sudden removal was soon evident. Lady Catherine had been rendered
so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephew's letter, that
Charlotte, really rejoicing in the match, was anxious to get away till
the storm was blown over. At such a moment, the arrival of her friend
was a sincere pleasure to Elizabeth, though in the course of their
meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought, when she
saw Mr. Darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of
her husband. He bore it, however, with admirable calmness. He could even
listen to Sir William Lucas, when he complimented him on carrying away
the brightest jewel of the country, and expressed his hopes of their all
meeting frequently at St. James's, with very decent composure. If he did
shrug his shoulders, it was not till Sir William was out of sight.
Mrs. Phillips's vulgarity was another, and perhaps a greater, tax on his
forbearance; and though Mrs. Phillips, as well as her sister, stood in
too much awe of him to speak with the familiarity which Bingley's good
humour encouraged, yet, whenever she _did_ speak, she must be vulgar.
Nor was her respect for him, though it made her more quiet, at all
likely to make her more elegant. Elizabeth did all she could to shield
him from the frequent notice of either, and was ever anxious to keep
him to herself, and to those of her family with whom he might converse
without mortification; and though the uncomfortable feelings arising
from all this took from the season of courtship much of its pleasure, it
added to the hope of the future; and she looked forward with delight to
the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing
to either, to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at
Pemberley.
Chapter 61
Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got
rid of her two most deserving daughters. With what delighted pride
she afterwards visited Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may
be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, that the
accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many
of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible,
amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it
was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity
in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and
invariably silly.
Mr. Bennet missed his second daughter exceedingly; his affection for her
drew him oftener from home than anything else could do. He delighted in
going to Pemberley, especially when he was least expected.
Mr. Bingley and Jane remained at Netherfield only a twelvemonth. So near
a vicinity to her mother and Meryton relations was not desirable even to
_his_ easy temper, or _her_ affectionate heart. The darling wish of his
sisters was then gratified; he bought an estate in a neighbouring county
to Derbyshire, and Jane and Elizabeth, in addition to every other source
of happiness, were within thirty miles of each other.
Kitty, to her very material advantage, spent the chief of her time with
her two elder sisters. In society so superior to what she had generally
known, her improvement was great. She was not of so ungovernable a
temper as Lydia; and, removed from the influence of Lydia's example,
she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less
ignorant, and less insipid. From the further disadvantage of Lydia's
society she was of course carefully kept, and though Mrs. Wickham
frequently invited her to come and stay with her, with the promise of
balls and young men, her father would never consent to her going.
Mary was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily
drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by Mrs. Bennet's being quite
unable to sit alone. Mary was obliged to mix more with the world, but
she could still moralize over every morning visit; and as she was no
longer mortified by comparisons between her sisters' beauty and her own,
it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without
much reluctance.
As for Wickham and Lydia, their characters suffered no revolution from
the marriage of her sisters. He bore with philosophy the conviction that
Elizabeth must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude
and falsehood had before been unknown to her; and in spite of every
thing, was not wholly without hope that Darcy might yet be prevailed on
to make his fortune. The congratulatory letter which Elizabeth received
from Lydia on her marriage, explained to her that, by his wife at least,
if not by himself, such a hope was cherished. The letter was to this
effect:
"MY DEAR LIZZY,
"I wish you joy. If you love Mr. Darcy half as well as I do my dear
Wickham, you must be very happy. It is a great comfort to have you so
rich, and when you have nothing else to do, I hope you will think of us.
I am sure Wickham would like a place at court very much, and I do not
think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help.
Any place would do, of about three or four hundred a year; but however,
do not speak to Mr. Darcy about it, if you had rather not.
"Yours, etc."
As it happened that Elizabeth had _much_ rather not, she endeavoured in
her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind.
Such relief, however, as it was in her power to afford, by the practice
of what might be called economy in her own private expences, she
frequently sent them. It had always been evident to her that such an
income as theirs, under the direction of two persons so extravagant in
their wants, and heedless of the future, must be very insufficient to
their support; and whenever they changed their quarters, either Jane or
herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance
towards discharging their bills. Their manner of living, even when the
restoration of peace dismissed them to a home, was unsettled in the
extreme. They were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap
situation, and always spending more than they ought. His affection for
her soon sunk into indifference; hers lasted a little longer; and
in spite of her youth and her manners, she retained all the claims to
reputation which her marriage had given her.
Though Darcy could never receive _him_ at Pemberley, yet, for
Elizabeth's sake, he assisted him further in his profession. Lydia was
occasionally a visitor there, when her husband was gone to enjoy himself
in London or Bath; and with the Bingleys they both of them frequently
staid so long, that even Bingley's good humour was overcome, and he
proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.
Miss Bingley was very deeply mortified by Darcy's marriage; but as she
thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at Pemberley, she
dropt all her resentment; was fonder than ever of Georgiana, almost as
attentive to Darcy as heretofore, and paid off every arrear of civility
to Elizabeth.
Pemberley was now Georgiana's home; and the attachment of the sisters
was exactly what Darcy had hoped to see. They were able to love each
other even as well as they intended. Georgiana had the highest opinion
in the world of Elizabeth; though at first she often listened with
an astonishment bordering on alarm at her lively, sportive, manner of
talking to her brother. He, who had always inspired in herself a respect
which almost overcame her affection, she now saw the object of open
pleasantry. Her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen
in her way. By Elizabeth's instructions, she began to comprehend that
a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not
always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself.
Lady Catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew;
and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in
her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement, she sent him
language so very abusive, especially of Elizabeth, that for some time
all intercourse was at an end. But at length, by Elizabeth's persuasion,
he was prevailed on to overlook the offence, and seek a reconciliation;
and, after a little further resistance on the part of his aunt, her
resentment gave way, either to her affection for him, or her curiosity
to see how his wife conducted herself; and she condescended to wait
on them at Pemberley, in spite of that pollution which its woods had
received, not merely from the presence of such a mistress, but the
visits of her uncle and aunt from the city.
With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms.
Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever
sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing
her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.

['reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had', '']
['been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. _Her_ mind', '']
['was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding,', '']
['little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented,', '']
['she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her', '']
['daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.', '']
['Chapter 2', '']
['Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on Mr. Bingley. He', '']
['had always intended to visit him, though to the last always assuring', '']
['his wife that he should not go; and till the evening after the visit was', '']
['paid she had no knowledge of it. It was then disclosed in the following', '']
['manner. Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat, he', '']
['suddenly addressed her with:', '']
['"I hope Mr. Bingley will like it, Lizzy."', '']
['"We are not in a way to know _what_ Mr. Bingley likes," said her mother', '']
['resentfully, "since we are not to visit."', '']
['"But you forget, mamma," said Elizabeth, "that we shall meet him at the', '']
['assemblies, and that Mrs. Long promised to introduce him."', '']
['"I do not believe Mrs. Long will do any such thing. She has two nieces', '']
['of her own. She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion', '']
['of her."', '']
['"No more have I," said Mr. Bennet; "and I am glad to find that you do', '']
['not depend on her serving you."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain', '']
['herself, began scolding one of her daughters.', '']
['"Don\'t keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven\'s sake! Have a little', '']
['compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces."', '']
['"Kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times', '']
['them ill."', '']
['"I do not cough for my own amusement," replied Kitty fretfully. "When is', '']
['your next ball to be, Lizzy?"', '']
['"To-morrow fortnight."', '']
['"Aye, so it is," cried her mother, "and Mrs. Long does not come back', '']
['till the day before; so it will be impossible for her to introduce him,', '']
['for she will not know him herself."', '']
['"Then, my dear, you may have the advantage of your friend, and introduce', '']
['Mr. Bingley to _her_."', '']
['"Impossible, Mr. Bennet, impossible, when I am not acquainted with him', '']
['myself; how can you be so teasing?"', '']
['"I honour your circumspection. A fortnight\'s acquaintance is certainly', '']
['very little. One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a', '']
['fortnight. But if _we_ do not venture somebody else will; and after all,', '']
['Mrs. Long and her neices must stand their chance; and, therefore, as', '']
['she will think it an act of kindness, if you decline the office, I will', '']
['take it on myself."', '']
['The girls stared at their father. Mrs. Bennet said only, "Nonsense,', '']
['nonsense!"', '']
['"What can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation?" cried he. "Do', '']
['you consider the forms of introduction, and the stress that is laid on', '']
['them, as nonsense? I cannot quite agree with you _there_. What say you,', '']
['Mary? For you are a young lady of deep reflection, I know, and read', '']
['great books and make extracts."', '']
['Mary wished to say something sensible, but knew not how.', '']
['"While Mary is adjusting her ideas," he continued, "let us return to Mr.', '']
['Bingley."', '']
['"I am sick of Mr. Bingley," cried his wife.', '']
['"I am sorry to hear _that_; but why did not you tell me that before? If', '']
['I had known as much this morning I certainly would not have called', '']
['on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have actually paid the visit, we', '']
['cannot escape the acquaintance now."', '']
['The astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished; that of Mrs.', '']
['Bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though, when the first tumult of joy', '']
['was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the', '']
['while.', '']
['"How good it was in you, my dear Mr. Bennet! But I knew I should', '']
['persuade you at last. I was sure you loved your girls too well to', '']
['neglect such an acquaintance. Well, how pleased I am! and it is such a', '']
['good joke, too, that you should have gone this morning and never said a', '']
['word about it till now."', '']
['"Now, Kitty, you may cough as much as you choose," said Mr. Bennet; and,', '']
['as he spoke, he left the room, fatigued with the raptures of his wife.', '']
['"What an excellent father you have, girls!" said she, when the door was', '']
['shut. "I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness;', '']
['or me, either, for that matter. At our time of life it is not so', '']
['pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but', '']
['for your sakes, we would do anything. Lydia, my love, though you _are_', '']
['the youngest, I dare say Mr. Bingley will dance with you at the next', '']
['ball."', '']
['"Oh!" said Lydia stoutly, "I am not afraid; for though I _am_ the', '']
['youngest, I\'m the tallest."', '']
['The rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would', '']
["return Mr. Bennet's visit, and determining when they should ask him to", '']
['dinner.', '']
['Chapter 3', '']
['Not all that Mrs. Bennet, however, with the assistance of her five', '']
['daughters, could ask on the subject, was sufficient to draw from her', '']
['husband any satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley. They attacked him', '']
['in various ways--with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and', '']
['distant surmises; but he eluded the skill of them all, and they were at', '']
['last obliged to accept the second-hand intelligence of their neighbour,', '']
['Lady Lucas. Her report was highly favourable. Sir William had been', '']
['delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely', '']
['agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly', '']
['with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of', '']
['dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively', '']
["hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained.", '']
['"If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield,"', '']
['said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well', '']
['married, I shall have nothing to wish for."', '']
["In a few days Mr. Bingley returned Mr. Bennet's visit, and sat about", '']
['ten minutes with him in his library. He had entertained hopes of being', '']
['admitted to a sight of the young ladies, of whose beauty he had', '']
['heard much; but he saw only the father. The ladies were somewhat more', '']
['fortunate, for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper', '']
['window that he wore a blue coat, and rode a black horse.', '']
['An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already', '']
['had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her', '']
['housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all. Mr. Bingley', '']
['was obliged to be in town the following day, and, consequently, unable', '']
['to accept the honour of their invitation, etc. Mrs. Bennet was quite', '']
['disconcerted. She could not imagine what business he could have in town', '']
['so soon after his arrival in Hertfordshire; and she began to fear that', '']
['he might be always flying about from one place to another, and never', '']
['settled at Netherfield as he ought to be. Lady Lucas quieted her fears', '']
['a little by starting the idea of his being gone to London only to get', '']
['a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed that Mr. Bingley', '']
['was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly.', '']
['The girls grieved over such a number of ladies, but were comforted the', '']
['day before the ball by hearing, that instead of twelve he brought only', '']
['six with him from London--his five sisters and a cousin. And when', '']
['the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five', '']
['altogether--Mr. Bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the eldest, and', '']
['another young man.', '']
['Mr. Bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant', '']
['countenance, and easy, unaffected manners. His sisters were fine women,', '']
['with an air of decided fashion. His brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, merely', '']
['looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention', '']
['of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and', '']
['the report which was in general circulation within five minutes', '']
['after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen', '']
['pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he', '']
['was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great', '']
['admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust', '']
['which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be', '']
['proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all', '']
['his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most', '']
['forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared', '']
['with his friend.', '']
['Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal', '']
['people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance,', '']
['was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving', '']
['one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for', '']
['themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced', '']
['only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being', '']
['introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in', '']
['walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party.', '']
['His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man', '']
['in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again.', '']
['Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of', '']
['his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his', '']
['having slighted one of her daughters.', '']
['Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit', '']
['down for two dances; and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been', '']
['standing near enough for her to hear a conversation between him and Mr.', '']
['Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend', '']
['to join it.', '']
['"Come, Darcy," said he, "I must have you dance. I hate to see you', '']
['standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better', '']
['dance."', '']
['"I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it, unless I am', '']
['particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this', '']
['it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not', '']
['another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to', '']
['stand up with."', '']
['"I would not be so fastidious as you are," cried Mr. Bingley, "for a', '']
['kingdom! Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in', '']
['my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see', '']
['uncommonly pretty."', '']
['"_You_ are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room," said Mr.', '']
['Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Bennet.', '']
['"Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one', '']
['of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I', '']
['dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you."', '']
['"Which do you mean?" and turning round he looked for a moment at', '']
['Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said:', '']
['"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt _me_; I am in no', '']
['humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted', '']
['by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her', '']
['smiles, for you are wasting your time with me."', '']
['Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth', '']
['remained with no very cordial feelings toward him. She told the story,', '']
['however, with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively,', '']
['playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous.', '']
['The evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family. Mrs.', '']
['Bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the Netherfield', '']
['party. Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been', '']
['distinguished by his sisters. Jane was as much gratified by this as', '']
["her mother could be, though in a quieter way. Elizabeth felt Jane's", '']
['pleasure. Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most', '']
['accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and Catherine and Lydia had been', '']
['fortunate enough never to be without partners, which was all that they', '']
['had yet learnt to care for at a ball. They returned, therefore, in good', '']
['spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they', '']
['were the principal inhabitants. They found Mr. Bennet still up. With', '']
['a book he was regardless of time; and on the present occasion he had a', '']
['good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised', '']
["such splendid expectations. He had rather hoped that his wife's views on", '']
['the stranger would be disappointed; but he soon found out that he had a', '']
['different story to hear.', '']
['"Oh! my dear Mr. Bennet," as she entered the room, "we have had a most', '']
['delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you had been there.', '']
['Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. Everybody said how well', '']
['she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with', '']
['her twice! Only think of _that_, my dear; he actually danced with her', '']
['twice! and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second', '']
['time. First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. I was so vexed to see him stand', '']
['up with her! But, however, he did not admire her at all; indeed, nobody', '']
['can, you know; and he seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going', '']
['down the dance. So he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and', '']
['asked her for the two next. Then the two third he danced with Miss King,', '']
['and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again,', '']
['and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the _Boulanger_--"', '']
['"If he had had any compassion for _me_," cried her husband impatiently,', '']
['"he would not have danced half so much! For God\'s sake, say no more of', '']
['his partners. Oh that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance!"', '']
['"Oh! my dear, I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively', '']
['handsome! And his sisters are charming women. I never in my life saw', '']
['anything more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs.', '']
['Hurst\'s gown--"', '']
['Here she was interrupted again. Mr. Bennet protested against any', '']
['description of finery. She was therefore obliged to seek another branch', '']
['of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit and some', '']
['exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy.', '']
['"But I can assure you," she added, "that Lizzy does not lose much by not', '']
['suiting _his_ fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at', '']
['all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited that there was no enduring', '']
['him! He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very', '']
['great! Not handsome enough to dance with! I wish you had been there, my', '']
['dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. I quite detest the man."', '']
['Chapter 4', '']
['When Jane and Elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in', '']
['her praise of Mr. Bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very', '']
['much she admired him.', '']
['"He is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible,', '']
['good-humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!--so much', '']
['ease, with such perfect good breeding!"', '']
['"He is also handsome," replied Elizabeth, "which a young man ought', '']
['likewise to be, if he possibly can. His character is thereby complete."', '']
['"I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. I', '']
['did not expect such a compliment."', '']
['"Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between', '']
['us. Compliments always take _you_ by surprise, and _me_ never. What', '']
['could be more natural than his asking you again? He could not help', '']
['seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman', '']
['in the room. No thanks to his gallantry for that. Well, he certainly is', '']
['very agreeable, and I give you leave to like him. You have liked many a', '']
['stupider person."', '']
['"Dear Lizzy!"', '']
['"Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general.', '']
['You never see a fault in anybody. All the world are good and agreeable', '']
['in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in your', '']
['life."', '']
['"I would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak', '']
['what I think."', '']
['"I know you do; and it is _that_ which makes the wonder. With _your_', '']
['good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of', '']
['others! Affectation of candour is common enough--one meets with it', '']
['everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design--to take the', '']
["good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing", '']
["of the bad--belongs to you alone. And so you like this man's sisters,", '']
['too, do you? Their manners are not equal to his."', '']
['"Certainly not--at first. But they are very pleasing women when you', '']
['converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her brother, and keep', '']
['his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming', '']
['neighbour in her."', '']
['Elizabeth listened in silence, but was not convinced; their behaviour at', '']
['the assembly had not been calculated to please in general; and with more', '']
['quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister,', '']
['and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself, she', '']
['was very little disposed to approve them. They were in fact very fine', '']
['ladies; not deficient in good humour when they were pleased, nor in the', '']
['power of making themselves agreeable when they chose it, but proud and', '']
['conceited. They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the', '']
['first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand', '']
['pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of', '']
['associating with people of rank, and were therefore in every respect', '']
['entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. They were of', '']
['a respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more deeply', '']
["impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and their", '']
['own had been acquired by trade.', '']
['Mr. Bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred', '']
['thousand pounds from his father, who had intended to purchase an', '']
['estate, but did not live to do it. Mr. Bingley intended it likewise, and', '']
['sometimes made choice of his county; but as he was now provided with a', '']
['good house and the liberty of a manor, it was doubtful to many of those', '']
['who best knew the easiness of his temper, whether he might not spend the', '']
['remainder of his days at Netherfield, and leave the next generation to', '']
['purchase.', '']
['His sisters were anxious for his having an estate of his own; but,', '']
['though he was now only established as a tenant, Miss Bingley was by no', '']
['means unwilling to preside at his table--nor was Mrs. Hurst, who had', '']
['married a man of more fashion than fortune, less disposed to consider', '']
['his house as her home when it suited her. Mr. Bingley had not been of', '']
['age two years, when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation', '']
['to look at Netherfield House. He did look at it, and into it for', '']
['half-an-hour--was pleased with the situation and the principal', '']
['rooms, satisfied with what the owner said in its praise, and took it', '']
['immediately.', '']
['Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of', '']
['great opposition of character. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the', '']
['easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition', '']
['could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he', '']
["never appeared dissatisfied. On the strength of Darcy's regard, Bingley", '']
['had the firmest reliance, and of his judgement the highest opinion.', '']
['In understanding, Darcy was the superior. Bingley was by no means', '']
['deficient, but Darcy was clever. He was at the same time haughty,', '']
['reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well-bred, were not', '']
['inviting. In that respect his friend had greatly the advantage. Bingley', '']
['was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually', '']
['giving offense.', '']
['The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently', '']
['characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or', '']
['prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive', '']
['to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt', '']
['acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss Bennet, he could not', '']
['conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a', '']
['collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for', '']
['none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received', '']
['either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty,', '']
['but she smiled too much.', '']
['Mrs. Hurst and her sister allowed it to be so--but still they admired', '']
['her and liked her, and pronounced her to be a sweet girl, and one', '']
['whom they would not object to know more of. Miss Bennet was therefore', '']
['established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorized by such', '']
['commendation to think of her as he chose.', '']
['Chapter 5', '']
['Within a short walk of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets', '']
['were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade', '']
['in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the', '']
['honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.', '']
['The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a', '']
['disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town;', '']
['and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house', '']
['about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge,', '']
['where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and,', '']
['unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all', '']
['the world. For, though elated by his rank, it did not render him', '']
['supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By', '']
['nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at St.', '']
["James's had made him courteous.", '']
['Lady Lucas was a very good kind of woman, not too clever to be a', '']
['valuable neighbour to Mrs. Bennet. They had several children. The eldest', '']
['of them, a sensible, intelligent young woman, about twenty-seven, was', '']
["Elizabeth's intimate friend.", '']
['That the Miss Lucases and the Miss Bennets should meet to talk over', '']
['a ball was absolutely necessary; and the morning after the assembly', '']
['brought the former to Longbourn to hear and to communicate.', '']
['"_You_ began the evening well, Charlotte," said Mrs. Bennet with civil', '']
['self-command to Miss Lucas. "_You_ were Mr. Bingley\'s first choice."', '']
['"Yes; but he seemed to like his second better."', '']
['"Oh! you mean Jane, I suppose, because he danced with her twice. To be', '']
['sure that _did_ seem as if he admired her--indeed I rather believe he', '']
['_did_--I heard something about it--but I hardly know what--something', '']
['about Mr. Robinson."', '']
['"Perhaps you mean what I overheard between him and Mr. Robinson; did not', '']
["I mention it to you? Mr. Robinson's asking him how he liked our Meryton", '']
['assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many', '']
['pretty women in the room, and _which_ he thought the prettiest? and his', '']
["answering immediately to the last question: 'Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet,", '']
['beyond a doubt; there cannot be two opinions on that point.\'"', '']
['"Upon my word! Well, that is very decided indeed--that does seem as', '']
['if--but, however, it may all come to nothing, you know."', '']
['"_My_ overhearings were more to the purpose than _yours_, Eliza," said', '']
['Charlotte. "Mr. Darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend,', '']
['is he?--poor Eliza!--to be only just _tolerable_."', '']
['"I beg you would not put it into Lizzy\'s head to be vexed by his', '']
['ill-treatment, for he is such a disagreeable man, that it would be quite', '']
['a misfortune to be liked by him. Mrs. Long told me last night that he', '']
['sat close to her for half-an-hour without once opening his lips."', '']
['"Are you quite sure, ma\'am?--is not there a little mistake?" said Jane.', '']
['"I certainly saw Mr. Darcy speaking to her."', '']
['"Aye--because she asked him at last how he liked Netherfield, and he', '']
['could not help answering her; but she said he seemed quite angry at', '']
['being spoke to."', '']
['"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that he never speaks much,', '']
['unless among his intimate acquaintances. With _them_ he is remarkably', '']
['agreeable."', '']
['"I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very', '']
['agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it', '']
['was; everybody says that he is eat up with pride, and I dare say he had', '']
['heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had come to', '']
['the ball in a hack chaise."', '']
['"I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long," said Miss Lucas, "but I', '']
['wish he had danced with Eliza."', '']
['"Another time, Lizzy," said her mother, "I would not dance with _him_,', '']
['if I were you."', '']
['"I believe, ma\'am, I may safely promise you _never_ to dance with him."', '']
['"His pride," said Miss Lucas, "does not offend _me_ so much as pride', '']
['often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so', '']
['very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour,', '']
['should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a _right_', '']
['to be proud."', '']
['"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive', '']
['_his_ pride, if he had not mortified _mine_."', '']
['"Pride," observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her', '']
['reflections, "is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have', '']
['ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human', '']
['nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us', '']
['who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some', '']
['quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different', '']
['things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may', '']
['be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of', '']
['ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."', '']
['"If I were as rich as Mr. Darcy," cried a young Lucas, who came with', '']
['his sisters, "I should not care how proud I was. I would keep a pack of', '']
['foxhounds, and drink a bottle of wine a day."', '']
['"Then you would drink a great deal more than you ought," said Mrs.', '']
['Bennet; "and if I were to see you at it, I should take away your bottle', '']
['directly."', '']
['The boy protested that she should not; she continued to declare that she', '']
['would, and the argument ended only with the visit.', '']

['The ladies of Longbourn soon waited on those of Netherfield. The visit', '']
["was soon returned in due form. Miss Bennet's pleasing manners grew on", '']
['the goodwill of Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and though the mother was', '']
['found to be intolerable, and the younger sisters not worth speaking to,', '']
['a wish of being better acquainted with _them_ was expressed towards', '']
['the two eldest. By Jane, this attention was received with the greatest', '']
['pleasure, but Elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment', '']
['of everybody, hardly excepting even her sister, and could not like them;', '']
['though their kindness to Jane, such as it was, had a value as arising in', '']
["all probability from the influence of their brother's admiration. It", '']
['was generally evident whenever they met, that he _did_ admire her and', '']
['to _her_ it was equally evident that Jane was yielding to the preference', '']
['which she had begun to entertain for him from the first, and was in a', '']
['way to be very much in love; but she considered with pleasure that it', '']
['was not likely to be discovered by the world in general, since Jane', '']
['united, with great strength of feeling, a composure of temper and a', '']
['uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard her from the suspicions', '']
['of the impertinent. She mentioned this to her friend Miss Lucas.', '']
['"It may perhaps be pleasant," replied Charlotte, "to be able to impose', '']
['on the public in such a case; but it is sometimes a disadvantage to be', '']
['so very guarded. If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill', '']
['from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and', '']
['it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in', '']
['the dark. There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every', '']
['attachment, that it is not safe to leave any to itself. We can all', '']
['_begin_ freely--a slight preference is natural enough; but there are', '']
['very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without', '']
['encouragement. In nine cases out of ten a women had better show _more_', '']
['affection than she feels. Bingley likes your sister undoubtedly; but he', '']
['may never do more than like her, if she does not help him on."', '']
['"But she does help him on, as much as her nature will allow. If I can', '']
['perceive her regard for him, he must be a simpleton, indeed, not to', '']
['discover it too."', '']
['"Remember, Eliza, that he does not know Jane\'s disposition as you do."', '']
['"But if a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal', '']
['it, he must find it out."', '']
['"Perhaps he must, if he sees enough of her. But, though Bingley and Jane', '']
['meet tolerably often, it is never for many hours together; and, as they', '']
['always see each other in large mixed parties, it is impossible that', '']
['every moment should be employed in conversing together. Jane should', '']
['therefore make the most of every half-hour in which she can command his', '']
['attention. When she is secure of him, there will be more leisure for', '']
['falling in love as much as she chooses."', '']
['"Your plan is a good one," replied Elizabeth, "where nothing is in', '']
['question but the desire of being well married, and if I were determined', '']
['to get a rich husband, or any husband, I dare say I should adopt it. But', '']
["these are not Jane's feelings; she is not acting by design. As yet,", '']
['she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its', '']
['reasonableness. She has known him only a fortnight. She danced four', '']
['dances with him at Meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house,', '']
['and has since dined with him in company four times. This is not quite', '']
['enough to make her understand his character."', '']
['"Not as you represent it. Had she merely _dined_ with him, she might', '']
['only have discovered whether he had a good appetite; but you must', '']
['remember that four evenings have also been spent together--and four', '']
['evenings may do a great deal."', '']
['"Yes; these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they', '']
['both like Vingt-un better than Commerce; but with respect to any other', '']
['leading characteristic, I do not imagine that much has been unfolded."', '']
['"Well," said Charlotte, "I wish Jane success with all my heart; and', '']
['if she were married to him to-morrow, I should think she had as good a', '']
['chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a', '']
['twelvemonth. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If', '']
['the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or', '']
['ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the', '']
['least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to', '']
['have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as', '']
['possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your', '']
['life."', '']
['"You make me laugh, Charlotte; but it is not sound. You know it is not', '']
['sound, and that you would never act in this way yourself."', '']
["Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth", '']
['was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some', '']
['interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely', '']
['allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the', '']
['ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no', '']
['sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly', '']
['had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered', '']
['uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To', '']
['this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had', '']
['detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry', '']
['in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and', '']
['pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those', '']
['of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. Of', '']
['this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made', '']
['himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough', '']
['to dance with.', '']
['He began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing', '']
['with her himself, attended to her conversation with others. His doing so', '']
["drew her notice. It was at Sir William Lucas's, where a large party were", '']
['assembled.', '']
['"What does Mr. Darcy mean," said she to Charlotte, "by listening to my', '']
['conversation with Colonel Forster?"', '']
['"That is a question which Mr. Darcy only can answer."', '']
['"But if he does it any more I shall certainly let him know that I see', '']
['what he is about. He has a very satirical eye, and if I do not begin by', '']
['being impertinent myself, I shall soon grow afraid of him."', '']
['On his approaching them soon afterwards, though without seeming to have', '']
['any intention of speaking, Miss Lucas defied her friend to mention such', '']
['a subject to him; which immediately provoking Elizabeth to do it, she', '']
['turned to him and said:', '']
['"Did you not think, Mr. Darcy, that I expressed myself uncommonly', '']
['well just now, when I was teasing Colonel Forster to give us a ball at', '']
['Meryton?"', '']
['"With great energy; but it is always a subject which makes a lady', '']
['energetic."', '']
['"You are severe on us."', '']
['"It will be _her_ turn soon to be teased," said Miss Lucas. "I am going', '']
['to open the instrument, Eliza, and you know what follows."', '']
['"You are a very strange creature by way of a friend!--always wanting me', '']
['to play and sing before anybody and everybody! If my vanity had taken', '']
['a musical turn, you would have been invaluable; but as it is, I would', '']
['really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of', '']
['hearing the very best performers." On Miss Lucas\'s persevering, however,', '']
['she added, "Very well, if it must be so, it must." And gravely glancing', '']
['at Mr. Darcy, "There is a fine old saying, which everybody here is of', '']
["course familiar with: 'Keep your breath to cool your porridge'; and I", '']
['shall keep mine to swell my song."', '']
['Her performance was pleasing, though by no means capital. After a song', '']
['or two, and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that', '']
['she would sing again, she was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her', '']
['sister Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in', '']
['the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always', '']
['impatient for display.', '']
['Mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her', '']
['application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited', '']
['manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she', '']
['had reached. Elizabeth, easy and unaffected, had been listened to with', '']
['much more pleasure, though not playing half so well; and Mary, at the', '']
['end of a long concerto, was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by', '']
['Scotch and Irish airs, at the request of her younger sisters, who,', '']
['with some of the Lucases, and two or three officers, joined eagerly in', '']
['dancing at one end of the room.', '']
['Mr. Darcy stood near them in silent indignation at such a mode of', '']
['passing the evening, to the exclusion of all conversation, and was too', '']
['much engrossed by his thoughts to perceive that Sir William Lucas was', '']
['his neighbour, till Sir William thus began:', '']
['"What a charming amusement for young people this is, Mr. Darcy! There', '']
['is nothing like dancing after all. I consider it as one of the first', '']
['refinements of polished society."', '']
['"Certainly, sir; and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst', '']
['the less polished societies of the world. Every savage can dance."', '']
['Sir William only smiled. "Your friend performs delightfully," he', '']
['continued after a pause, on seeing Bingley join the group; "and I doubt', '']
['not that you are an adept in the science yourself, Mr. Darcy."', '']
['"You saw me dance at Meryton, I believe, sir."', '']
['"Yes, indeed, and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight. Do', '']
['you often dance at St. James\'s?"', '']
['"Never, sir."', '']
['"Do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place?"', '']
['"It is a compliment which I never pay to any place if I can avoid it."', '']
['"You have a house in town, I conclude?"', '']
['Mr. Darcy bowed.', '']
['"I had once had some thought of fixing in town myself--for I am fond', '']
['of superior society; but I did not feel quite certain that the air of', '']
['London would agree with Lady Lucas."', '']
['He paused in hopes of an answer; but his companion was not disposed', '']
['to make any; and Elizabeth at that instant moving towards them, he was', '']
['struck with the action of doing a very gallant thing, and called out to', '']
['her:', '']
['"My dear Miss Eliza, why are you not dancing? Mr. Darcy, you must allow', '']
['me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner. You', '']
['cannot refuse to dance, I am sure when so much beauty is before you."', '']
['And, taking her hand, he would have given it to Mr. Darcy who, though', '']
['extremely surprised, was not unwilling to receive it, when she instantly', '']
['drew back, and said with some discomposure to Sir William:', '']
['"Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of dancing. I entreat you', '']
['not to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner."', '']
['Mr. Darcy, with grave propriety, requested to be allowed the honour of', '']
['her hand, but in vain. Elizabeth was determined; nor did Sir William at', '']
['all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasion.', '']
['"You excel so much in the dance, Miss Eliza, that it is cruel to deny', '']
['me the happiness of seeing you; and though this gentleman dislikes the', '']
['amusement in general, he can have no objection, I am sure, to oblige us', '']
['for one half-hour."', '']
['"Mr. Darcy is all politeness," said Elizabeth, smiling.', '']
['"He is, indeed; but, considering the inducement, my dear Miss Eliza,', '']
['we cannot wonder at his complaisance--for who would object to such a', '']
['partner?"', '']
['Elizabeth looked archly, and turned away. Her resistance had not', '']
['injured her with the gentleman, and he was thinking of her with some', '']
['complacency, when thus accosted by Miss Bingley:', '']
['"I can guess the subject of your reverie."', '']
['"I should imagine not."', '']
['"You are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings', '']
['in this manner--in such society; and indeed I am quite of your opinion.', '']
['I was never more annoyed! The insipidity, and yet the noise--the', '']
['nothingness, and yet the self-importance of all those people! What would', '']
['I give to hear your strictures on them!"', '']
['"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more', '']
['agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure', '']
['which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."', '']
['Miss Bingley immediately fixed her eyes on his face, and desired he', '']
['would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such reflections.', '']
['Mr. Darcy replied with great intrepidity:', '']
['"Miss Elizabeth Bennet."', '']
['"Miss Elizabeth Bennet!" repeated Miss Bingley. "I am all astonishment.', '']
['How long has she been such a favourite?--and pray, when am I to wish you', '']
['joy?"', '']
['"That is exactly the question which I expected you to ask. A lady\'s', '']
['imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love', '']
['to matrimony, in a moment. I knew you would be wishing me joy."', '']
['"Nay, if you are serious about it, I shall consider the matter is', '']
['absolutely settled. You will be having a charming mother-in-law, indeed;', '']
['and, of course, she will always be at Pemberley with you."', '']
['He listened to her with perfect indifference while she chose to', '']
['entertain herself in this manner; and as his composure convinced her', '']
['that all was safe, her wit flowed long.', '']
['Chapter 7', '']
["Mr. Bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two", '']
['thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed,', '']
["in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's", '']
['fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply', '']
['the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and', '']
['had left her four thousand pounds.', '']
['She had a sister married to a Mr. Phillips, who had been a clerk to', '']
['their father and succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in', '']
['London in a respectable line of trade.', '']
['The village of Longbourn was only one mile from Meryton; a most', '']
['convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted', '']
['thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt and', '']
["to a milliner's shop just over the way. The two youngest of the family,", '']
['Catherine and Lydia, were particularly frequent in these attentions;', '']
["their minds were more vacant than their sisters', and when nothing", '']
['better offered, a walk to Meryton was necessary to amuse their morning', '']
['hours and furnish conversation for the evening; and however bare of news', '']
['the country in general might be, they always contrived to learn some', '']
['from their aunt. At present, indeed, they were well supplied both with', '']
['news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the', '']
['neighbourhood; it was to remain the whole winter, and Meryton was the', '']
['headquarters.', '']
['Their visits to Mrs. Phillips were now productive of the most', '']
['interesting intelligence. Every day added something to their knowledge', '']
["of the officers' names and connections. Their lodgings were not long a", '']
['secret, and at length they began to know the officers themselves. Mr.', '']
['Phillips visited them all, and this opened to his nieces a store of', '']
['felicity unknown before. They could talk of nothing but officers; and', '']
["Mr. Bingley's large fortune, the mention of which gave animation", '']
['to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the', '']
['regimentals of an ensign.', '']
['After listening one morning to their effusions on this subject, Mr.', '']
['Bennet coolly observed:', '']
['"From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two', '']
['of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but', '']
['I am now convinced."', '']
['Catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect', '']
['indifference, continued to express her admiration of Captain Carter,', '']
['and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the', '']
['next morning to London.', '']
['"I am astonished, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "that you should be so', '']
['ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly', '']
['of anybody\'s children, it should not be of my own, however."', '']
['"If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it."', '']
['"Yes--but as it happens, they are all of them very clever."', '']
['"This is the only point, I flatter myself, on which we do not agree. I', '']
['had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but I must', '']
['so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly', '']
['foolish."', '']
['"My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of', '']
['their father and mother. When they get to our age, I dare say they will', '']
['not think about officers any more than we do. I remember the time when', '']
['I liked a red coat myself very well--and, indeed, so I do still at my', '']
['heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year,', '']
['should want one of my girls I shall not say nay to him; and I thought', '']
["Colonel Forster looked very becoming the other night at Sir William's in", '']
['his regimentals."', '']
['"Mamma," cried Lydia, "my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain', '']
["Carter do not go so often to Miss Watson's as they did when they first", '']
['came; she sees them now very often standing in Clarke\'s library."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with', '']
['a note for Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and the servant waited', '']
["for an answer. Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was", '']
['eagerly calling out, while her daughter read,', '']
['"Well, Jane, who is it from? What is it about? What does he say? Well,', '']
['Jane, make haste and tell us; make haste, my love."', '']
['"It is from Miss Bingley," said Jane, and then read it aloud.', '']
['"MY DEAR FRIEND,--', '']
['"If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me,', '']
['we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives,', '']
["for a whole day's tete-a-tete between two women can never end without a", '']
['quarrel. Come as soon as you can on receipt of this. My brother and the', '']
['gentlemen are to dine with the officers.--Yours ever,', '']
['"CAROLINE BINGLEY"', '']
['"With the officers!" cried Lydia. "I wonder my aunt did not tell us of', '']
['_that_."', '']
['"Dining out," said Mrs. Bennet, "that is very unlucky."', '']
['"Can I have the carriage?" said Jane.', '']
['"No, my dear, you had better go on horseback, because it seems likely to', '']
['rain; and then you must stay all night."', '']
['"That would be a good scheme," said Elizabeth, "if you were sure that', '']
['they would not offer to send her home."', '']
['"Oh! but the gentlemen will have Mr. Bingley\'s chaise to go to Meryton,', '']
['and the Hursts have no horses to theirs."', '']
['"I had much rather go in the coach."', '']
['"But, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, I am sure. They are', '']
['wanted in the farm, Mr. Bennet, are they not?"', '']
['"They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them."', '']
['"But if you have got them to-day," said Elizabeth, "my mother\'s purpose', '']
['will be answered."', '']
['She did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses', '']
['were engaged. Jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback, and her', '']
['mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a', '']
['bad day. Her hopes were answered; Jane had not been gone long before', '']
['it rained hard. Her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was', '']
['delighted. The rain continued the whole evening without intermission;', '']
['Jane certainly could not come back.', '']
['"This was a lucky idea of mine, indeed!" said Mrs. Bennet more than', '']
['once, as if the credit of making it rain were all her own. Till the', '']
['next morning, however, she was not aware of all the felicity of her', '']
['contrivance. Breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from Netherfield', '']
['brought the following note for Elizabeth:', '']
['"MY DEAREST LIZZY,--', '']
['"I find myself very unwell this morning, which, I suppose, is to be', '']
['imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. My kind friends will not', '']
['hear of my returning till I am better. They insist also on my seeing Mr.', '']
['Jones--therefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been', '']
['to me--and, excepting a sore throat and headache, there is not much the', '']
['matter with me.--Yours, etc."', '']
['"Well, my dear," said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note', '']
['aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness--if she', '']
['should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of', '']
['Mr. Bingley, and under your orders."', '']
['"Oh! I am not afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling', '']
['colds. She will be taken good care of. As long as she stays there, it is', '']
['all very well. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage."', '']
['Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, was determined to go to her, though', '']
['the carriage was not to be had; and as she was no horsewoman, walking', '']
['was her only alternative. She declared her resolution.', '']
['"How can you be so silly," cried her mother, "as to think of such a', '']
['thing, in all this dirt! You will not be fit to be seen when you get', '']
['there."', '']
['"I shall be very fit to see Jane--which is all I want."', '']
['"Is this a hint to me, Lizzy," said her father, "to send for the', '']
['horses?"', '']
['"No, indeed, I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing', '']
['when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner."', '']
['"I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every', '']
['impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion,', '']
['exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."', '']
['"We will go as far as Meryton with you," said Catherine and Lydia.', '']
['Elizabeth accepted their company, and the three young ladies set off', '']
['together.', '']
['"If we make haste," said Lydia, as they walked along, "perhaps we may', '']
['see something of Captain Carter before he goes."', '']
['In Meryton they parted; the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one', '']
["of the officers' wives, and Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing", '']
['field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing', '']
['over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last', '']
['within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face', '']
['glowing with the warmth of exercise.', '']
['She was shown into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were', '']
['assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise.', '']
['That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such', '']
['dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and', '']
['Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt', '']
['for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their', '']
["brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there", '']
['was good humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr.', '']
['Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the', '']
['brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as', '']
["to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was", '']
['thinking only of his breakfast.', '']
['Her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. Miss', '']
['Bennet had slept ill, and though up, was very feverish, and not', '']
['well enough to leave her room. Elizabeth was glad to be taken to her', '']
['immediately; and Jane, who had only been withheld by the fear of giving', '']
['alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed', '']
['for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance. She was not equal,', '']
['however, to much conversation, and when Miss Bingley left them', '']
['together, could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the', '']
['extraordinary kindness she was treated with. Elizabeth silently attended', '']
['her.', '']
['When breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters; and Elizabeth', '']
['began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and', '']
['solicitude they showed for Jane. The apothecary came, and having', '']
['examined his patient, said, as might be supposed, that she had caught', '']
['a violent cold, and that they must endeavour to get the better of it;', '']
['advised her to return to bed, and promised her some draughts. The advice', '']
['was followed readily, for the feverish symptoms increased, and her head', '']
['ached acutely. Elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment; nor were', '']
['the other ladies often absent; the gentlemen being out, they had, in', '']
['fact, nothing to do elsewhere.', '']
['When the clock struck three, Elizabeth felt that she must go, and very', '']
['unwillingly said so. Miss Bingley offered her the carriage, and she only', '']
['wanted a little pressing to accept it, when Jane testified such concern', '']
['in parting with her, that Miss Bingley was obliged to convert the offer', '']
['of the chaise to an invitation to remain at Netherfield for the present.', '']
['Elizabeth most thankfully consented, and a servant was dispatched to', '']
['Longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply', '']
['of clothes.', '']
['Chapter 8', '']
["At five o'clock the two ladies retired to dress, and at half-past six", '']
['Elizabeth was summoned to dinner. To the civil inquiries which then', '']
['poured in, and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the', '']
["much superior solicitude of Mr. Bingley's, she could not make a very", '']
['favourable answer. Jane was by no means better. The sisters, on hearing', '']
['this, repeated three or four times how much they were grieved, how', '']
['shocking it was to have a bad cold, and how excessively they disliked', '']
['being ill themselves; and then thought no more of the matter: and their', '']
['indifference towards Jane when not immediately before them restored', '']
['Elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike.', '']
['Their brother, indeed, was the only one of the party whom she could', '']
['regard with any complacency. His anxiety for Jane was evident, and his', '']
['attentions to herself most pleasing, and they prevented her feeling', '']
['herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the', '']
['others. She had very little notice from any but him. Miss Bingley was', '']
['engrossed by Mr. Darcy, her sister scarcely less so; and as for Mr.', '']
['Hurst, by whom Elizabeth sat, he was an indolent man, who lived only to', '']
['eat, drink, and play at cards; who, when he found her to prefer a plain', '']
['dish to a ragout, had nothing to say to her.', '']
['When dinner was over, she returned directly to Jane, and Miss Bingley', '']
['began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were', '']
['pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence;', '']
['she had no conversation, no style, no beauty. Mrs. Hurst thought the', '']
['same, and added:', '']
['"She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent', '']
['walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really', '']
['looked almost wild."', '']
['"She did, indeed, Louisa. I could hardly keep my countenance. Very', '']
['nonsensical to come at all! Why must _she_ be scampering about the', '']
['country, because her sister had a cold? Her hair, so untidy, so blowsy!"', '']
['"Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep', '']
['in mud, I am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to', '']
['hide it not doing its office."', '']
['"Your picture may be very exact, Louisa," said Bingley; "but this was', '']
['all lost upon me. I thought Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked remarkably', '']
['well when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite', '']
['escaped my notice."', '']
['"_You_ observed it, Mr. Darcy, I am sure," said Miss Bingley; "and I am', '']
['inclined to think that you would not wish to see _your_ sister make such', '']
['an exhibition."', '']
['"Certainly not."', '']
['"To walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles, or whatever it is,', '']
['above her ankles in dirt, and alone, quite alone! What could she mean by', '']
['it? It seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence,', '']
['a most country-town indifference to decorum."', '']
['"It shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing," said', '']
['Bingley.', '']
['"I am afraid, Mr. Darcy," observed Miss Bingley in a half whisper, "that', '']
['this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes."', '']
['"Not at all," he replied; "they were brightened by the exercise." A', '']
['short pause followed this speech, and Mrs. Hurst began again:', '']
['"I have an excessive regard for Miss Jane Bennet, she is really a very', '']
['sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with', '']
['such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is', '']
['no chance of it."', '']
['"I think I have heard you say that their uncle is an attorney in', '']
['Meryton."', '']
['"Yes; and they have another, who lives somewhere near Cheapside."', '']
['"That is capital," added her sister, and they both laughed heartily.', '']
['"If they had uncles enough to fill _all_ Cheapside," cried Bingley, "it', '']
['would not make them one jot less agreeable."', '']
['"But it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any', '']
['consideration in the world," replied Darcy.', '']
['To this speech Bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it their', '']
['hearty assent, and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of', '']
["their dear friend's vulgar relations.", '']
['With a renewal of tenderness, however, they returned to her room on', '']
['leaving the dining-parlour, and sat with her till summoned to coffee.', '']
['She was still very poorly, and Elizabeth would not quit her at all, till', '']
['late in the evening, when she had the comfort of seeing her sleep, and', '']
['when it seemed to her rather right than pleasant that she should go', '']
['downstairs herself. On entering the drawing-room she found the whole', '']
['party at loo, and was immediately invited to join them; but suspecting', '']
['them to be playing high she declined it, and making her sister the', '']
['excuse, said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay', '']
['below, with a book. Mr. Hurst looked at her with astonishment.', '']
['"Do you prefer reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular."', '']
['"Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great', '']
['reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."', '']
['"I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth; "I am', '']
['_not_ a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."', '']
['"In nursing your sister I am sure you have pleasure," said Bingley; "and', '']
['I hope it will be soon increased by seeing her quite well."', '']
['Elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and then walked towards the', '']
['table where a few books were lying. He immediately offered to fetch her', '']
['others--all that his library afforded.', '']
['"And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own', '']
['credit; but I am an idle fellow, and though I have not many, I have more', '']
['than I ever looked into."', '']
['Elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those', '']
['in the room.', '']
['"I am astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have left', '']
['so small a collection of books. What a delightful library you have at', '']
['Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!"', '']
['"It ought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of many', '']
['generations."', '']
['"And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying', '']
['books."', '']
['"I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as', '']
['these."', '']
['"Neglect! I am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of', '']
['that noble place. Charles, when you build _your_ house, I wish it may be', '']
['half as delightful as Pemberley."', '']
['"I wish it may."', '']
['"But I would really advise you to make your purchase in that', '']
['neighbourhood, and take Pemberley for a kind of model. There is not a', '']
['finer county in England than Derbyshire."', '']
['"With all my heart; I will buy Pemberley itself if Darcy will sell it."', '']
['"I am talking of possibilities, Charles."', '']
['"Upon my word, Caroline, I should think it more possible to get', '']
['Pemberley by purchase than by imitation."', '']
['Elizabeth was so much caught with what passed, as to leave her very', '']
['little attention for her book; and soon laying it wholly aside, she drew', '']
['near the card-table, and stationed herself between Mr. Bingley and his', '']
['eldest sister, to observe the game.', '']
['"Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?" said Miss Bingley; "will', '']
['she be as tall as I am?"', '']
['"I think she will. She is now about Miss Elizabeth Bennet\'s height, or', '']
['rather taller."', '']
['"How I long to see her again! I never met with anybody who delighted me', '']
['so much. Such a countenance, such manners! And so extremely accomplished', '']
['for her age! Her performance on the pianoforte is exquisite."', '']
['"It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "how young ladies can have patience', '']
['to be so very accomplished as they all are."', '']
['"All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?"', '']
['"Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover screens, and', '']
['net purses. I scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this, and I am sure', '']
['I never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being', '']
['informed that she was very accomplished."', '']
['"Your list of the common extent of accomplishments," said Darcy, "has', '']
['too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no', '']
['otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen. But I am very', '']
['far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general. I', '']
['cannot boast of knowing more than half-a-dozen, in the whole range of my', '']
['acquaintance, that are really accomplished."', '']
['"Nor I, I am sure," said Miss Bingley.', '']
['"Then," observed Elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great deal in your', '']
['idea of an accomplished woman."', '']
['"Yes, I do comprehend a great deal in it."', '']
['"Oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can be really', '']
['esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met', '']
['with. A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing,', '']
['dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides', '']
['all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of', '']
['walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word', '']
['will be but half-deserved."', '']
['"All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must', '']
['yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by', '']
['extensive reading."', '']
['"I am no longer surprised at your knowing _only_ six accomplished women.', '']
['I rather wonder now at your knowing _any_."', '']
['"Are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all', '']
['this?"', '']
['"I never saw such a woman. I never saw such capacity, and taste, and', '']
['application, and elegance, as you describe united."', '']
['Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley both cried out against the injustice of her', '']
['implied doubt, and were both protesting that they knew many women who', '']
['answered this description, when Mr. Hurst called them to order, with', '']
['bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward. As all', '']
['conversation was thereby at an end, Elizabeth soon afterwards left the', '']
['room.', '']
['"Elizabeth Bennet," said Miss Bingley, when the door was closed on her,', '']
['"is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the', '']
['other sex by undervaluing their own; and with many men, I dare say, it', '']
['succeeds. But, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art."', '']
['"Undoubtedly," replied Darcy, to whom this remark was chiefly addressed,', '']
['"there is a meanness in _all_ the arts which ladies sometimes condescend', '']
['to employ for captivation. Whatever bears affinity to cunning is', '']
['despicable."', '']
['Miss Bingley was not so entirely satisfied with this reply as to', '']
['continue the subject.', '']
['Elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse, and', '']
['that she could not leave her. Bingley urged Mr. Jones being sent for', '']
['immediately; while his sisters, convinced that no country advice could', '']
['be of any service, recommended an express to town for one of the most', '']
['eminent physicians. This she would not hear of; but she was not so', '']
["unwilling to comply with their brother's proposal; and it was settled", '']
['that Mr. Jones should be sent for early in the morning, if Miss Bennet', '']
['were not decidedly better. Bingley was quite uncomfortable; his sisters', '']
['declared that they were miserable. They solaced their wretchedness,', '']
['however, by duets after supper, while he could find no better relief', '']
['to his feelings than by giving his housekeeper directions that every', '']
['attention might be paid to the sick lady and her sister.', '']
['Chapter 9', '']
["Elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sister's room, and in the", '']
['morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the', '']
['inquiries which she very early received from Mr. Bingley by a housemaid,', '']
['and some time afterwards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his', '']
['sisters. In spite of this amendment, however, she requested to have a', '']
['note sent to Longbourn, desiring her mother to visit Jane, and form her', '']
['own judgement of her situation. The note was immediately dispatched, and', '']
['its contents as quickly complied with. Mrs. Bennet, accompanied by her', '']
['two youngest girls, reached Netherfield soon after the family breakfast.', '']
['Had she found Jane in any apparent danger, Mrs. Bennet would have been', '']
['very miserable; but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was', '']
['not alarming, she had no wish of her recovering immediately, as her', '']
['restoration to health would probably remove her from Netherfield. She', '']
["would not listen, therefore, to her daughter's proposal of being carried", '']
['home; neither did the apothecary, who arrived about the same time, think', '']
['it at all advisable. After sitting a little while with Jane, on Miss', '']
["Bingley's appearance and invitation, the mother and three daughters all", '']
['attended her into the breakfast parlour. Bingley met them with hopes', '']
['that Mrs. Bennet had not found Miss Bennet worse than she expected.', '']
['"Indeed I have, sir," was her answer. "She is a great deal too ill to be', '']
['moved. Mr. Jones says we must not think of moving her. We must trespass', '']
['a little longer on your kindness."', '']
['"Removed!" cried Bingley. "It must not be thought of. My sister, I am', '']
['sure, will not hear of her removal."', '']
['"You may depend upon it, Madam," said Miss Bingley, with cold civility,', '']
['"that Miss Bennet will receive every possible attention while she', '']
['remains with us."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was profuse in her acknowledgments.', '']
['"I am sure," she added, "if it was not for such good friends I do not', '']
['know what would become of her, for she is very ill indeed, and suffers', '']
['a vast deal, though with the greatest patience in the world, which is', '']
['always the way with her, for she has, without exception, the sweetest', '']
['temper I have ever met with. I often tell my other girls they are', '']
['nothing to _her_. You have a sweet room here, Mr. Bingley, and a', '']
['charming prospect over the gravel walk. I do not know a place in the', '']
['country that is equal to Netherfield. You will not think of quitting it', '']
['in a hurry, I hope, though you have but a short lease."', '']
['"Whatever I do is done in a hurry," replied he; "and therefore if I', '']
['should resolve to quit Netherfield, I should probably be off in five', '']
['minutes. At present, however, I consider myself as quite fixed here."', '']
['"That is exactly what I should have supposed of you," said Elizabeth.', '']
['"You begin to comprehend me, do you?" cried he, turning towards her.', '']
['"Oh! yes--I understand you perfectly."', '']
['"I wish I might take this for a compliment; but to be so easily seen', '']
['through I am afraid is pitiful."', '']
['"That is as it happens. It does not follow that a deep, intricate', '']
['character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours."', '']
['"Lizzy," cried her mother, "remember where you are, and do not run on in', '']
['the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home."', '']
['"I did not know before," continued Bingley immediately, "that you were a', '']
['studier of character. It must be an amusing study."', '']
['"Yes, but intricate characters are the _most_ amusing. They have at', '']
['least that advantage."', '']
['"The country," said Darcy, "can in general supply but a few subjects for', '']
['such a study. In a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and', '']
['unvarying society."', '']
['"But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be', '']
['observed in them for ever."', '']
['"Yes, indeed," cried Mrs. Bennet, offended by his manner of mentioning', '']
['a country neighbourhood. "I assure you there is quite as much of _that_', '']
['going on in the country as in town."', '']
['Everybody was surprised, and Darcy, after looking at her for a moment,', '']
['turned silently away. Mrs. Bennet, who fancied she had gained a complete', '']
['victory over him, continued her triumph.', '']
['"I cannot see that London has any great advantage over the country, for', '']
['my part, except the shops and public places. The country is a vast deal', '']
['pleasanter, is it not, Mr. Bingley?"', '']
['"When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it;', '']
['and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their', '']
['advantages, and I can be equally happy in either."', '']
['"Aye--that is because you have the right disposition. But that', '']
['gentleman," looking at Darcy, "seemed to think the country was nothing', '']
['at all."', '']
['"Indeed, Mamma, you are mistaken," said Elizabeth, blushing for her', '']
['mother. "You quite mistook Mr. Darcy. He only meant that there was not', '']
['such a variety of people to be met with in the country as in the town,', '']
['which you must acknowledge to be true."', '']
['"Certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting', '']
['with many people in this neighbourhood, I believe there are few', '']
['neighbourhoods larger. I know we dine with four-and-twenty families."', '']
['Nothing but concern for Elizabeth could enable Bingley to keep his', '']
['countenance. His sister was less delicate, and directed her eyes towards', '']
['Mr. Darcy with a very expressive smile. Elizabeth, for the sake of', '']
["saying something that might turn her mother's thoughts, now asked her if", '']
['Charlotte Lucas had been at Longbourn since _her_ coming away.', '']
['"Yes, she called yesterday with her father. What an agreeable man Sir', '']
['William is, Mr. Bingley, is not he? So much the man of fashion! So', '']
['genteel and easy! He has always something to say to everybody. _That_', '']
['is my idea of good breeding; and those persons who fancy themselves very', '']
['important, and never open their mouths, quite mistake the matter."', '']
['"Did Charlotte dine with you?"', '']
['"No, she would go home. I fancy she was wanted about the mince-pies. For', '']
['my part, Mr. Bingley, I always keep servants that can do their own work;', '']
['_my_ daughters are brought up very differently. But everybody is to', '']
['judge for themselves, and the Lucases are a very good sort of girls,', '']
['I assure you. It is a pity they are not handsome! Not that I think', '']
['Charlotte so _very_ plain--but then she is our particular friend."', '']
['"She seems a very pleasant young woman."', '']
['"Oh! dear, yes; but you must own she is very plain. Lady Lucas herself', '']
["has often said so, and envied me Jane's beauty. I do not like to boast", '']
['of my own child, but to be sure, Jane--one does not often see anybody', '']
['better looking. It is what everybody says. I do not trust my own', '']
['partiality. When she was only fifteen, there was a man at my brother', '']
["Gardiner's in town so much in love with her that my sister-in-law was", '']
['sure he would make her an offer before we came away. But, however, he', '']
['did not. Perhaps he thought her too young. However, he wrote some verses', '']
['on her, and very pretty they were."', '']
['"And so ended his affection," said Elizabeth impatiently. "There has', '']
['been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first', '']
['discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!"', '']
['"I have been used to consider poetry as the _food_ of love," said Darcy.', '']
['"Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is', '']
['strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I', '']
['am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."', '']
['Darcy only smiled; and the general pause which ensued made Elizabeth', '']
['tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again. She longed to', '']
['speak, but could think of nothing to say; and after a short silence Mrs.', '']
['Bennet began repeating her thanks to Mr. Bingley for his kindness to', '']
['Jane, with an apology for troubling him also with Lizzy. Mr. Bingley was', '']
['unaffectedly civil in his answer, and forced his younger sister to be', '']
['civil also, and say what the occasion required. She performed her part', '']
['indeed without much graciousness, but Mrs. Bennet was satisfied, and', '']
['soon afterwards ordered her carriage. Upon this signal, the youngest of', '']
['her daughters put herself forward. The two girls had been whispering to', '']
['each other during the whole visit, and the result of it was, that the', '']
['youngest should tax Mr. Bingley with having promised on his first coming', '']
['into the country to give a ball at Netherfield.', '']
['Lydia was a stout, well-grown girl of fifteen, with a fine complexion', '']
['and good-humoured countenance; a favourite with her mother, whose', '']
['affection had brought her into public at an early age. She had high', '']
['animal spirits, and a sort of natural self-consequence, which the', '']
["attention of the officers, to whom her uncle's good dinners, and her own", '']
['easy manners recommended her, had increased into assurance. She was very', '']
['equal, therefore, to address Mr. Bingley on the subject of the ball, and', '']
['abruptly reminded him of his promise; adding, that it would be the most', '']
['shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it. His answer to this', '']
["sudden attack was delightful to their mother's ear:", '']
['"I am perfectly ready, I assure you, to keep my engagement; and when', '']
['your sister is recovered, you shall, if you please, name the very day of', '']
['the ball. But you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill."', '']
['Lydia declared herself satisfied. "Oh! yes--it would be much better to', '']
['wait till Jane was well, and by that time most likely Captain Carter', '']
['would be at Meryton again. And when you have given _your_ ball," she', '']
['added, "I shall insist on their giving one also. I shall tell Colonel', '']
['Forster it will be quite a shame if he does not."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet and her daughters then departed, and Elizabeth returned', '']
["instantly to Jane, leaving her own and her relations' behaviour to the", '']
['remarks of the two ladies and Mr. Darcy; the latter of whom, however,', '']
['could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of _her_, in spite of', '']
["all Miss Bingley's witticisms on _fine eyes_.", '']
['Chapter 10', '']
['The day passed much as the day before had done. Mrs. Hurst and Miss', '']
['Bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who', '']
['continued, though slowly, to mend; and in the evening Elizabeth joined', '']
['their party in the drawing-room. The loo-table, however, did not appear.', '']
['Mr. Darcy was writing, and Miss Bingley, seated near him, was watching', '']
['the progress of his letter and repeatedly calling off his attention by', '']
['messages to his sister. Mr. Hurst and Mr. Bingley were at piquet, and', '']
['Mrs. Hurst was observing their game.', '']
['Elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused in', '']
['attending to what passed between Darcy and his companion. The perpetual', '']
['commendations of the lady, either on his handwriting, or on the evenness', '']
['of his lines, or on the length of his letter, with the perfect unconcern', '']
['with which her praises were received, formed a curious dialogue, and was', '']
['exactly in union with her opinion of each.', '']
['"How delighted Miss Darcy will be to receive such a letter!"', '']
['He made no answer.', '']
['"You write uncommonly fast."', '']
['"You are mistaken. I write rather slowly."', '']
['"How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a', '']
['year! Letters of business, too! How odious I should think them!"', '']
['"It is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of yours."', '']
['"Pray tell your sister that I long to see her."', '']
['"I have already told her so once, by your desire."', '']
['"I am afraid you do not like your pen. Let me mend it for you. I mend', '']
['pens remarkably well."', '']
['"Thank you--but I always mend my own."', '']
['"How can you contrive to write so even?"', '']
['He was silent.', '']
['"Tell your sister I am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp;', '']
['and pray let her know that I am quite in raptures with her beautiful', '']
['little design for a table, and I think it infinitely superior to Miss', '']
['Grantley\'s."', '']
['"Will you give me leave to defer your raptures till I write again? At', '']
['present I have not room to do them justice."', '']
['"Oh! it is of no consequence. I shall see her in January. But do you', '']
['always write such charming long letters to her, Mr. Darcy?"', '']
['"They are generally long; but whether always charming it is not for me', '']
['to determine."', '']
['"It is a rule with me, that a person who can write a long letter with', '']
['ease, cannot write ill."', '']
['"That will not do for a compliment to Darcy, Caroline," cried her', '']
['brother, "because he does _not_ write with ease. He studies too much for', '']
['words of four syllables. Do not you, Darcy?"', '']
['"My style of writing is very different from yours."', '']
['"Oh!" cried Miss Bingley, "Charles writes in the most careless way', '']
['imaginable. He leaves out half his words, and blots the rest."', '']
['"My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them--by which', '']
['means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents."', '']
['"Your humility, Mr. Bingley," said Elizabeth, "must disarm reproof."', '']
['"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of', '']
['humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an', '']
['indirect boast."', '']
['"And which of the two do you call _my_ little recent piece of modesty?"', '']
['"The indirect boast; for you are really proud of your defects in', '']
['writing, because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of', '']
['thought and carelessness of execution, which, if not estimable, you', '']
['think at least highly interesting. The power of doing anything with', '']
['quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any', '']
['attention to the imperfection of the performance. When you told Mrs.', '']
['Bennet this morning that if you ever resolved upon quitting Netherfield', '']
['you should be gone in five minutes, you meant it to be a sort of', '']
['panegyric, of compliment to yourself--and yet what is there so very', '']
['laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business', '']
['undone, and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else?"', '']
['"Nay," cried Bingley, "this is too much, to remember at night all the', '']
['foolish things that were said in the morning. And yet, upon my honour,', '']
['I believe what I said of myself to be true, and I believe it at this', '']
['moment. At least, therefore, I did not assume the character of needless', '']
['precipitance merely to show off before the ladies."', '']
['"I dare say you believed it; but I am by no means convinced that', '']
['you would be gone with such celerity. Your conduct would be quite as', '']
['dependent on chance as that of any man I know; and if, as you were', '']
["mounting your horse, a friend were to say, 'Bingley, you had better", '']
["stay till next week,' you would probably do it, you would probably not", '']
['go--and at another word, might stay a month."', '']
['"You have only proved by this," cried Elizabeth, "that Mr. Bingley did', '']
['not do justice to his own disposition. You have shown him off now much', '']
['more than he did himself."', '']
['"I am exceedingly gratified," said Bingley, "by your converting what my', '']
['friend says into a compliment on the sweetness of my temper. But I am', '']
['afraid you are giving it a turn which that gentleman did by no means', '']
['intend; for he would certainly think better of me, if under such a', '']
['circumstance I were to give a flat denial, and ride off as fast as I', '']
['could."', '']
['"Would Mr. Darcy then consider the rashness of your original intentions', '']
['as atoned for by your obstinacy in adhering to it?"', '']
['"Upon my word, I cannot exactly explain the matter; Darcy must speak for', '']
['himself."', '']
['"You expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine,', '']
['but which I have never acknowledged. Allowing the case, however, to', '']
['stand according to your representation, you must remember, Miss Bennet,', '']
['that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house, and', '']
['the delay of his plan, has merely desired it, asked it without offering', '']
['one argument in favour of its propriety."', '']
['"To yield readily--easily--to the _persuasion_ of a friend is no merit', '']
['with you."', '']
['"To yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of', '']
['either."', '']
['"You appear to me, Mr. Darcy, to allow nothing for the influence of', '']
['friendship and affection. A regard for the requester would often make', '']
['one readily yield to a request, without waiting for arguments to reason', '']
['one into it. I am not particularly speaking of such a case as you have', '']
['supposed about Mr. Bingley. We may as well wait, perhaps, till the', '']
['circumstance occurs before we discuss the discretion of his behaviour', '']
['thereupon. But in general and ordinary cases between friend and friend,', '']
['where one of them is desired by the other to change a resolution of no', '']
['very great moment, should you think ill of that person for complying', '']
['with the desire, without waiting to be argued into it?"', '']
['"Will it not be advisable, before we proceed on this subject, to', '']
['arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to', '']
['appertain to this request, as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting', '']
['between the parties?"', '']
['"By all means," cried Bingley; "let us hear all the particulars, not', '']
['forgetting their comparative height and size; for that will have more', '']
['weight in the argument, Miss Bennet, than you may be aware of. I assure', '']
['you, that if Darcy were not such a great tall fellow, in comparison with', '']
['myself, I should not pay him half so much deference. I declare I do not', '']
['know a more awful object than Darcy, on particular occasions, and in', '']
['particular places; at his own house especially, and of a Sunday evening,', '']
['when he has nothing to do."', '']
['Mr. Darcy smiled; but Elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was', '']
['rather offended, and therefore checked her laugh. Miss Bingley warmly', '']
['resented the indignity he had received, in an expostulation with her', '']
['brother for talking such nonsense.', '']
['"I see your design, Bingley," said his friend. "You dislike an argument,', '']
['and want to silence this."', '']
['"Perhaps I do. Arguments are too much like disputes. If you and Miss', '']
['Bennet will defer yours till I am out of the room, I shall be very', '']
['thankful; and then you may say whatever you like of me."', '']
['"What you ask," said Elizabeth, "is no sacrifice on my side; and Mr.', '']
['Darcy had much better finish his letter."', '']
['Mr. Darcy took her advice, and did finish his letter.', '']
['When that business was over, he applied to Miss Bingley and Elizabeth', '']
['for an indulgence of some music. Miss Bingley moved with some alacrity', '']
['to the pianoforte; and, after a polite request that Elizabeth would lead', '']
['the way which the other as politely and more earnestly negatived, she', '']
['seated herself.', '']
['Mrs. Hurst sang with her sister, and while they were thus employed,', '']
['Elizabeth could not help observing, as she turned over some music-books', '']
["that lay on the instrument, how frequently Mr. Darcy's eyes were fixed", '']
['on her. She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of', '']
['admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her', '']
['because he disliked her, was still more strange. She could only imagine,', '']
['however, at last that she drew his notice because there was something', '']
['more wrong and reprehensible, according to his ideas of right, than in', '']
['any other person present. The supposition did not pain her. She liked', '']
['him too little to care for his approbation.', '']
['After playing some Italian songs, Miss Bingley varied the charm by', '']
['a lively Scotch air; and soon afterwards Mr. Darcy, drawing near', '']
['Elizabeth, said to her:', '']
['"Do not you feel a great inclination, Miss Bennet, to seize such an', '']
['opportunity of dancing a reel?"', '']
['She smiled, but made no answer. He repeated the question, with some', '']
['surprise at her silence.', '']
['"Oh!" said she, "I heard you before, but I could not immediately', '']
["determine what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say 'Yes,'", '']
['that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but I always', '']
['delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of', '']
['their premeditated contempt. I have, therefore, made up my mind to tell', '']
['you, that I do not want to dance a reel at all--and now despise me if', '']
['you dare."', '']
['"Indeed I do not dare."', '']
['Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his', '']
['gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her', '']
['manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy', '']
['had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really', '']
['believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he', '']
['should be in some danger.', '']
['Miss Bingley saw, or suspected enough to be jealous; and her great', '']
['anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend Jane received some', '']
['assistance from her desire of getting rid of Elizabeth.', '']
['She often tried to provoke Darcy into disliking her guest, by talking of', '']
['their supposed marriage, and planning his happiness in such an alliance.', '']
['"I hope," said she, as they were walking together in the shrubbery', '']
['the next day, "you will give your mother-in-law a few hints, when this', '']
['desirable event takes place, as to the advantage of holding her tongue;', '']
['and if you can compass it, do cure the younger girls of running after', '']
['officers. And, if I may mention so delicate a subject, endeavour to', '']
['check that little something, bordering on conceit and impertinence,', '']
['which your lady possesses."', '']
['"Have you anything else to propose for my domestic felicity?"', '']
['"Oh! yes. Do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt Phillips be placed', '']
['in the gallery at Pemberley. Put them next to your great-uncle the', '']
['judge. They are in the same profession, you know, only in different', '']
["lines. As for your Elizabeth's picture, you must not have it taken, for", '']
['what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes?"', '']
['"It would not be easy, indeed, to catch their expression, but their', '']
['colour and shape, and the eyelashes, so remarkably fine, might be', '']
['copied."', '']
['At that moment they were met from another walk by Mrs. Hurst and', '']
['Elizabeth herself.', '']
['"I did not know that you intended to walk," said Miss Bingley, in some', '']
['confusion, lest they had been overheard.', '']
['"You used us abominably ill," answered Mrs. Hurst, "running away without', '']
['telling us that you were coming out."', '']
['Then taking the disengaged arm of Mr. Darcy, she left Elizabeth to walk', '']
['by herself. The path just admitted three. Mr. Darcy felt their rudeness,', '']
['and immediately said:', '']
['"This walk is not wide enough for our party. We had better go into the', '']
['avenue."', '']
['But Elizabeth, who had not the least inclination to remain with them,', '']
['laughingly answered:', '']
['"No, no; stay where you are. You are charmingly grouped, and appear', '']
['to uncommon advantage. The picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a', '']
['fourth. Good-bye."', '']
['She then ran gaily off, rejoicing as she rambled about, in the hope of', '']
['being at home again in a day or two. Jane was already so much recovered', '']
['as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours that evening.', '']
['Chapter 11', '']
['When the ladies removed after dinner, Elizabeth ran up to her', '']
['sister, and seeing her well guarded from cold, attended her into the', '']
['drawing-room, where she was welcomed by her two friends with many', '']
['professions of pleasure; and Elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable', '']
['as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared.', '']
['Their powers of conversation were considerable. They could describe an', '']
['entertainment with accuracy, relate an anecdote with humour, and laugh', '']
['at their acquaintance with spirit.', '']
['But when the gentlemen entered, Jane was no longer the first object;', '']
["Miss Bingley's eyes were instantly turned toward Darcy, and she had", '']
['something to say to him before he had advanced many steps. He addressed', '']
['himself to Miss Bennet, with a polite congratulation; Mr. Hurst also', '']
['made her a slight bow, and said he was "very glad;" but diffuseness', '']
["and warmth remained for Bingley's salutation. He was full of joy and", '']
['attention. The first half-hour was spent in piling up the fire, lest she', '']
['should suffer from the change of room; and she removed at his desire', '']
['to the other side of the fireplace, that she might be further from', '']
['the door. He then sat down by her, and talked scarcely to anyone', '']
['else. Elizabeth, at work in the opposite corner, saw it all with great', '']
['delight.', '']
['When tea was over, Mr. Hurst reminded his sister-in-law of the', '']
['card-table--but in vain. She had obtained private intelligence that Mr.', '']
['Darcy did not wish for cards; and Mr. Hurst soon found even his open', '']
['petition rejected. She assured him that no one intended to play, and', '']
['the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her. Mr.', '']
['Hurst had therefore nothing to do, but to stretch himself on one of the', '']
['sofas and go to sleep. Darcy took up a book; Miss Bingley did the same;', '']
['and Mrs. Hurst, principally occupied in playing with her bracelets', '']
["and rings, joined now and then in her brother's conversation with Miss", '']
['Bennet.', '']
["Miss Bingley's attention was quite as much engaged in watching Mr.", '']
["Darcy's progress through _his_ book, as in reading her own; and she", '']
['was perpetually either making some inquiry, or looking at his page. She', '']
['could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her', '']
['question, and read on. At length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be', '']
['amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the', '']
['second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, "How pleasant', '']
['it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no', '']
['enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a', '']
['book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not', '']
['an excellent library."', '']
['No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and', '']
['cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement; when hearing', '']
['her brother mentioning a ball to Miss Bennet, she turned suddenly', '']
['towards him and said:', '']
['"By the bye, Charles, are you really serious in meditating a dance at', '']
['Netherfield? I would advise you, before you determine on it, to consult', '']
['the wishes of the present party; I am much mistaken if there are', '']
['not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a', '']
['pleasure."', '']
['"If you mean Darcy," cried her brother, "he may go to bed, if he', '']
['chooses, before it begins--but as for the ball, it is quite a settled', '']
['thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough, I shall send', '']
['round my cards."', '']
['"I should like balls infinitely better," she replied, "if they were', '']
['carried on in a different manner; but there is something insufferably', '']
['tedious in the usual process of such a meeting. It would surely be much', '']
['more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of', '']
['the day."', '']
['"Much more rational, my dear Caroline, I dare say, but it would not be', '']
['near so much like a ball."', '']
['Miss Bingley made no answer, and soon afterwards she got up and walked', '']
['about the room. Her figure was elegant, and she walked well; but', '']
['Darcy, at whom it was all aimed, was still inflexibly studious. In', '']
['the desperation of her feelings, she resolved on one effort more, and,', '']
['turning to Elizabeth, said:', '']
['"Miss Eliza Bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a', '']
['turn about the room. I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so', '']
['long in one attitude."', '']
['Elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. Miss Bingley', '']
['succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked', '']
['up. He was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as', '']
['Elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book. He was', '']
['directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that', '']
['he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down', '']
['the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would', '']
['interfere. "What could he mean? She was dying to know what could be his', '']
['meaning?"--and asked Elizabeth whether she could at all understand him?', '']
['"Not at all," was her answer; "but depend upon it, he means to be severe', '']
['on us, and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing', '']
['about it."', '']
['Miss Bingley, however, was incapable of disappointing Mr. Darcy in', '']
['anything, and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his', '']
['two motives.', '']
['"I have not the smallest objection to explaining them," said he, as soon', '']
['as she allowed him to speak. "You either choose this method of passing', '']
["the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret", '']
['affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures', '']
['appear to the greatest advantage in walking; if the first, I would be', '']
['completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better', '']
['as I sit by the fire."', '']
['"Oh! shocking!" cried Miss Bingley. "I never heard anything so', '']
['abominable. How shall we punish him for such a speech?"', '']
['"Nothing so easy, if you have but the inclination," said Elizabeth. "We', '']
['can all plague and punish one another. Tease him--laugh at him. Intimate', '']
['as you are, you must know how it is to be done."', '']
['"But upon my honour, I do _not_. I do assure you that my intimacy has', '']
['not yet taught me _that_. Tease calmness of manner and presence of', '']
['mind! No, no; I feel he may defy us there. And as to laughter, we will', '']
['not expose ourselves, if you please, by attempting to laugh without a', '']
['subject. Mr. Darcy may hug himself."', '']
['"Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at!" cried Elizabeth. "That is an', '']
['uncommon advantage, and uncommon I hope it will continue, for it would', '']
['be a great loss to _me_ to have many such acquaintances. I dearly love a', '']
['laugh."', '']
['"Miss Bingley," said he, "has given me more credit than can be.', '']
['The wisest and the best of men--nay, the wisest and best of their', '']
['actions--may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in', '']
['life is a joke."', '']
['"Certainly," replied Elizabeth--"there are such people, but I hope I', '']
['am not one of _them_. I hope I never ridicule what is wise and good.', '']
['Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies, _do_ divert me, I own,', '']
['and I laugh at them whenever I can. But these, I suppose, are precisely', '']
['what you are without."', '']
['"Perhaps that is not possible for anyone. But it has been the study', '']
['of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong', '']
['understanding to ridicule."', '']
['"Such as vanity and pride."', '']
['"Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride--where there is a real', '']
['superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation."', '']
['Elizabeth turned away to hide a smile.', '']
['"Your examination of Mr. Darcy is over, I presume," said Miss Bingley;', '']
['"and pray what is the result?"', '']
['"I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it', '']
['himself without disguise."', '']
['"No," said Darcy, "I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough,', '']
['but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch', '']
['for. It is, I believe, too little yielding--certainly too little for the', '']
['convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others', '']
['so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings', '']
['are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper', '']
['would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost', '']
['forever."', '']
['"_That_ is a failing indeed!" cried Elizabeth. "Implacable resentment', '']
['_is_ a shade in a character. But you have chosen your fault well. I', '']
['really cannot _laugh_ at it. You are safe from me."', '']
['"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular', '']
['evil--a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome."', '']
['"And _your_ defect is to hate everybody."', '']
['"And yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand', '']
['them."', '']
['"Do let us have a little music," cried Miss Bingley, tired of a', '']
['conversation in which she had no share. "Louisa, you will not mind my', '']
['waking Mr. Hurst?"', '']
['Her sister had not the smallest objection, and the pianoforte was', '']
["opened; and Darcy, after a few moments' recollection, was not sorry for", '']
['it. He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention.', '']
['Chapter 12', '']
['In consequence of an agreement between the sisters, Elizabeth wrote the', '']
['next morning to their mother, to beg that the carriage might be sent for', '']
['them in the course of the day. But Mrs. Bennet, who had calculated on', '']
['her daughters remaining at Netherfield till the following Tuesday, which', '']
["would exactly finish Jane's week, could not bring herself to receive", '']
['them with pleasure before. Her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at', '']
["least not to Elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home. Mrs.", '']
['Bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage', '']
['before Tuesday; and in her postscript it was added, that if Mr. Bingley', '']
['and his sister pressed them to stay longer, she could spare them', '']
['very well. Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively', '']
['resolved--nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the', '']
['contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long,', '']
["she urged Jane to borrow Mr. Bingley's carriage immediately, and at", '']
['length it was settled that their original design of leaving Netherfield', '']
['that morning should be mentioned, and the request made.', '']
['The communication excited many professions of concern; and enough was', '']
['said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work', '']
['on Jane; and till the morrow their going was deferred. Miss Bingley was', '']
['then sorry that she had proposed the delay, for her jealousy and dislike', '']
['of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other.', '']
['The master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so', '']
['soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade Miss Bennet that it would not be', '']
['safe for her--that she was not enough recovered; but Jane was firm where', '']
['she felt herself to be right.', '']
['To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence--Elizabeth had been at', '']
['Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked--and Miss', '']
['Bingley was uncivil to _her_, and more teasing than usual to himself.', '']
['He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration', '']
['should _now_ escape him, nothing that could elevate her with the hope', '']
['of influencing his felicity; sensible that if such an idea had been', '']
['suggested, his behaviour during the last day must have material weight', '']
['in confirming or crushing it. Steady to his purpose, he scarcely spoke', '']
['ten words to her through the whole of Saturday, and though they were', '']
['at one time left by themselves for half-an-hour, he adhered most', '']
['conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her.', '']
['On Sunday, after morning service, the separation, so agreeable to almost', '']
["all, took place. Miss Bingley's civility to Elizabeth increased at last", '']
['very rapidly, as well as her affection for Jane; and when they parted,', '']
['after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her', '']
['to see her either at Longbourn or Netherfield, and embracing her most', '']
['tenderly, she even shook hands with the former. Elizabeth took leave of', '']
['the whole party in the liveliest of spirits.', '']
['They were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother. Mrs. Bennet', '']
['wondered at their coming, and thought them very wrong to give so much', '']
['trouble, and was sure Jane would have caught cold again. But their', '']
['father, though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure, was really', '']
['glad to see them; he had felt their importance in the family circle. The', '']
['evening conversation, when they were all assembled, had lost much of', '']
['its animation, and almost all its sense by the absence of Jane and', '']
['Elizabeth.', '']
['They found Mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough-bass and human', '']
['nature; and had some extracts to admire, and some new observations of', '']
['threadbare morality to listen to. Catherine and Lydia had information', '']
['for them of a different sort. Much had been done and much had been said', '']
['in the regiment since the preceding Wednesday; several of the officers', '']
['had dined lately with their uncle, a private had been flogged, and it', '']
['had actually been hinted that Colonel Forster was going to be married.', '']
['Chapter 13', '']
['"I hope, my dear," said Mr. Bennet to his wife, as they were at', '']
['breakfast the next morning, "that you have ordered a good dinner to-day,', '']
['because I have reason to expect an addition to our family party."', '']
['"Who do you mean, my dear? I know of nobody that is coming, I am sure,', '']
['unless Charlotte Lucas should happen to call in--and I hope _my_ dinners', '']
['are good enough for her. I do not believe she often sees such at home."', '']
['"The person of whom I speak is a gentleman, and a stranger."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet\'s eyes sparkled. "A gentleman and a stranger! It is Mr.', '']
['Bingley, I am sure! Well, I am sure I shall be extremely glad to see Mr.', '']
['Bingley. But--good Lord! how unlucky! There is not a bit of fish to be', '']
['got to-day. Lydia, my love, ring the bell--I must speak to Hill this', '']
['moment."', '']
['"It is _not_ Mr. Bingley," said her husband; "it is a person whom I', '']
['never saw in the whole course of my life."', '']
['This roused a general astonishment; and he had the pleasure of being', '']
['eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once.', '']
['After amusing himself some time with their curiosity, he thus explained:', '']
['"About a month ago I received this letter; and about a fortnight ago', '']
['I answered it, for I thought it a case of some delicacy, and requiring', '']
['early attention. It is from my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I am dead,', '']
['may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases."', '']
['"Oh! my dear," cried his wife, "I cannot bear to hear that mentioned.', '']
['Pray do not talk of that odious man. I do think it is the hardest thing', '']
['in the world, that your estate should be entailed away from your own', '']
['children; and I am sure, if I had been you, I should have tried long ago', '']
['to do something or other about it."', '']
['Jane and Elizabeth tried to explain to her the nature of an entail. They', '']
['had often attempted to do it before, but it was a subject on which', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was beyond the reach of reason, and she continued to rail', '']
['bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of', '']
['five daughters, in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about.', '']
['"It certainly is a most iniquitous affair," said Mr. Bennet, "and', '']
['nothing can clear Mr. Collins from the guilt of inheriting Longbourn.', '']
['But if you will listen to his letter, you may perhaps be a little', '']
['softened by his manner of expressing himself."', '']
['"No, that I am sure I shall not; and I think it is very impertinent of', '']
['him to write to you at all, and very hypocritical. I hate such false', '']
['friends. Why could he not keep on quarreling with you, as his father did', '']
['before him?"', '']
['"Why, indeed; he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that', '']
['head, as you will hear."', '']
['"Hunsford, near Westerham, Kent, 15th October.', '']
['"Dear Sir,--', '']
['"The disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured', '']
['father always gave me much uneasiness, and since I have had the', '']
['misfortune to lose him, I have frequently wished to heal the breach; but', '']
['for some time I was kept back by my own doubts, fearing lest it might', '']
['seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with anyone', '']
["with whom it had always pleased him to be at variance.--'There, Mrs.", '']
["Bennet.'--My mind, however, is now made up on the subject, for having", '']
['received ordination at Easter, I have been so fortunate as to be', '']
['distinguished by the patronage of the Right Honourable Lady Catherine de', '']
['Bourgh, widow of Sir Lewis de Bourgh, whose bounty and beneficence has', '']
['preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish, where it shall be', '']
['my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her', '']
['ladyship, and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which', '']
['are instituted by the Church of England. As a clergyman, moreover, I', '']
['feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in', '']
['all families within the reach of my influence; and on these grounds I', '']
['flatter myself that my present overtures are highly commendable, and', '']
['that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of Longbourn estate', '']
['will be kindly overlooked on your side, and not lead you to reject the', '']
['offered olive-branch. I cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the', '']
['means of injuring your amiable daughters, and beg leave to apologise for', '']
['it, as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible', '']
['amends--but of this hereafter. If you should have no objection to', '']
['receive me into your house, I propose myself the satisfaction of waiting', '']
["on you and your family, Monday, November 18th, by four o'clock, and", '']
["shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the Saturday se'ennight", '']
['following, which I can do without any inconvenience, as Lady Catherine', '']
['is far from objecting to my occasional absence on a Sunday, provided', '']
['that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the day.--I', '']
['remain, dear sir, with respectful compliments to your lady and', '']
['daughters, your well-wisher and friend,', '']
['"WILLIAM COLLINS"', '']
['"At four o\'clock, therefore, we may expect this peace-making gentleman,"', '']
['said Mr. Bennet, as he folded up the letter. "He seems to be a most', '']
['conscientious and polite young man, upon my word, and I doubt not will', '']
['prove a valuable acquaintance, especially if Lady Catherine should be so', '']
['indulgent as to let him come to us again."', '']
['"There is some sense in what he says about the girls, however, and if', '']
['he is disposed to make them any amends, I shall not be the person to', '']
['discourage him."', '']
['"Though it is difficult," said Jane, "to guess in what way he can mean', '']
['to make us the atonement he thinks our due, the wish is certainly to his', '']
['credit."', '']
['Elizabeth was chiefly struck by his extraordinary deference for Lady', '']
['Catherine, and his kind intention of christening, marrying, and burying', '']
['his parishioners whenever it were required.', '']
['"He must be an oddity, I think," said she. "I cannot make him', '']
['out.--There is something very pompous in his style.--And what can he', '']
['mean by apologising for being next in the entail?--We cannot suppose he', '']
['would help it if he could.--Could he be a sensible man, sir?"', '']
['"No, my dear, I think not. I have great hopes of finding him quite the', '']
['reverse. There is a mixture of servility and self-importance in his', '']
['letter, which promises well. I am impatient to see him."', '']
['"In point of composition," said Mary, "the letter does not seem', '']
['defective. The idea of the olive-branch perhaps is not wholly new, yet I', '']
['think it is well expressed."', '']
['To Catherine and Lydia, neither the letter nor its writer were in any', '']
['degree interesting. It was next to impossible that their cousin should', '']
['come in a scarlet coat, and it was now some weeks since they had', '']
['received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour. As for', '']
["their mother, Mr. Collins's letter had done away much of her ill-will,", '']
['and she was preparing to see him with a degree of composure which', '']
['astonished her husband and daughters.', '']
['Mr. Collins was punctual to his time, and was received with great', '']
['politeness by the whole family. Mr. Bennet indeed said little; but the', '']
['ladies were ready enough to talk, and Mr. Collins seemed neither in', '']
['need of encouragement, nor inclined to be silent himself. He was a', '']
['tall, heavy-looking young man of five-and-twenty. His air was grave and', '']
['stately, and his manners were very formal. He had not been long seated', '']
['before he complimented Mrs. Bennet on having so fine a family of', '']
['daughters; said he had heard much of their beauty, but that in this', '']
['instance fame had fallen short of the truth; and added, that he did', '']
['not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage. This', '']
['gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers; but Mrs.', '']
['Bennet, who quarreled with no compliments, answered most readily.', '']
['"You are very kind, I am sure; and I wish with all my heart it may', '']
['prove so, for else they will be destitute enough. Things are settled so', '']
['oddly."', '']
['"You allude, perhaps, to the entail of this estate."', '']
['"Ah! sir, I do indeed. It is a grievous affair to my poor girls, you', '']
['must confess. Not that I mean to find fault with _you_, for such things', '']
['I know are all chance in this world. There is no knowing how estates', '']
['will go when once they come to be entailed."', '']
['"I am very sensible, madam, of the hardship to my fair cousins, and', '']
['could say much on the subject, but that I am cautious of appearing', '']
['forward and precipitate. But I can assure the young ladies that I come', '']
['prepared to admire them. At present I will not say more; but, perhaps,', '']
['when we are better acquainted--"', '']
['He was interrupted by a summons to dinner; and the girls smiled on each', '']
["other. They were not the only objects of Mr. Collins's admiration. The", '']
['hall, the dining-room, and all its furniture, were examined and praised;', '']
["and his commendation of everything would have touched Mrs. Bennet's", '']
['heart, but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his', '']
['own future property. The dinner too in its turn was highly admired; and', '']
['he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its', '']
['cooking was owing. But he was set right there by Mrs. Bennet, who', '']
['assured him with some asperity that they were very well able to keep a', '']
['good cook, and that her daughters had nothing to do in the kitchen. He', '']
['begged pardon for having displeased her. In a softened tone she declared', '']
['herself not at all offended; but he continued to apologise for about a', '']
['quarter of an hour.', '']
['Chapter 14', '']
['During dinner, Mr. Bennet scarcely spoke at all; but when the servants', '']
['were withdrawn, he thought it time to have some conversation with his', '']
['guest, and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to', '']
['shine, by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness. Lady', '']
["Catherine de Bourgh's attention to his wishes, and consideration for", '']
['his comfort, appeared very remarkable. Mr. Bennet could not have chosen', '']
['better. Mr. Collins was eloquent in her praise. The subject elevated him', '']
['to more than usual solemnity of manner, and with a most important aspect', '']
['he protested that "he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in', '']
['a person of rank--such affability and condescension, as he had himself', '']
['experienced from Lady Catherine. She had been graciously pleased to', '']
['approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of', '']
['preaching before her. She had also asked him twice to dine at Rosings,', '']
['and had sent for him only the Saturday before, to make up her pool of', '']
['quadrille in the evening. Lady Catherine was reckoned proud by many', '']
['people he knew, but _he_ had never seen anything but affability in her.', '']
['She had always spoken to him as she would to any other gentleman; she', '']
['made not the smallest objection to his joining in the society of the', '']
['neighbourhood nor to his leaving the parish occasionally for a week or', '']
['two, to visit his relations. She had even condescended to advise him to', '']
['marry as soon as he could, provided he chose with discretion; and had', '']
['once paid him a visit in his humble parsonage, where she had perfectly', '']
['approved all the alterations he had been making, and had even vouchsafed', '']
['to suggest some herself--some shelves in the closet up stairs."', '']
['"That is all very proper and civil, I am sure," said Mrs. Bennet, "and', '']
['I dare say she is a very agreeable woman. It is a pity that great ladies', '']
['in general are not more like her. Does she live near you, sir?"', '']
['"The garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane', '']
['from Rosings Park, her ladyship\'s residence."', '']
['"I think you said she was a widow, sir? Has she any family?"', '']
['"She has only one daughter, the heiress of Rosings, and of very', '']
['extensive property."', '']
['"Ah!" said Mrs. Bennet, shaking her head, "then she is better off than', '']
['many girls. And what sort of young lady is she? Is she handsome?"', '']
['"She is a most charming young lady indeed. Lady Catherine herself says', '']
['that, in point of true beauty, Miss de Bourgh is far superior to the', '']
['handsomest of her sex, because there is that in her features which marks', '']
['the young lady of distinguished birth. She is unfortunately of a sickly', '']
['constitution, which has prevented her from making that progress in many', '']
['accomplishments which she could not have otherwise failed of, as I am', '']
['informed by the lady who superintended her education, and who still', '']
['resides with them. But she is perfectly amiable, and often condescends', '']
['to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies."', '']
['"Has she been presented? I do not remember her name among the ladies at', '']
['court."', '']
['"Her indifferent state of health unhappily prevents her being in town;', '']
['and by that means, as I told Lady Catherine one day, has deprived the', '']
['British court of its brightest ornament. Her ladyship seemed pleased', '']
['with the idea; and you may imagine that I am happy on every occasion to', '']
['offer those little delicate compliments which are always acceptable', '']
['to ladies. I have more than once observed to Lady Catherine, that', '']
['her charming daughter seemed born to be a duchess, and that the most', '']
['elevated rank, instead of giving her consequence, would be adorned by', '']
['her. These are the kind of little things which please her ladyship, and', '']
['it is a sort of attention which I conceive myself peculiarly bound to', '']
['pay."', '']
['"You judge very properly," said Mr. Bennet, "and it is happy for you', '']
['that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask', '']
['whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the', '']
['moment, or are the result of previous study?"', '']
['"They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I', '']
['sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant', '']
['compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to', '']
['give them as unstudied an air as possible."', '']
["Mr. Bennet's expectations were fully answered. His cousin was as absurd", '']
['as he had hoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment,', '']
['maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance,', '']
['and, except in an occasional glance at Elizabeth, requiring no partner', '']
['in his pleasure.', '']
['By tea-time, however, the dose had been enough, and Mr. Bennet was glad', '']
['to take his guest into the drawing-room again, and, when tea was over,', '']
['glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies. Mr. Collins readily', '']
['assented, and a book was produced; but, on beholding it (for everything', '']
['announced it to be from a circulating library), he started back, and', '']
['begging pardon, protested that he never read novels. Kitty stared at', '']
['him, and Lydia exclaimed. Other books were produced, and after some', '']
["deliberation he chose Fordyce's Sermons. Lydia gaped as he opened the", '']
['volume, and before he had, with very monotonous solemnity, read three', '']
['pages, she interrupted him with:', '']
['"Do you know, mamma, that my uncle Phillips talks of turning away', '']
['Richard; and if he does, Colonel Forster will hire him. My aunt told me', '']
['so herself on Saturday. I shall walk to Meryton to-morrow to hear more', '']
['about it, and to ask when Mr. Denny comes back from town."', '']
['Lydia was bid by her two eldest sisters to hold her tongue; but Mr.', '']
['Collins, much offended, laid aside his book, and said:', '']
['"I have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books', '']
['of a serious stamp, though written solely for their benefit. It amazes', '']
['me, I confess; for, certainly, there can be nothing so advantageous to', '']
['them as instruction. But I will no longer importune my young cousin."', '']
['Then turning to Mr. Bennet, he offered himself as his antagonist at', '']
['backgammon. Mr. Bennet accepted the challenge, observing that he acted', '']
['very wisely in leaving the girls to their own trifling amusements.', '']
["Mrs. Bennet and her daughters apologised most civilly for Lydia's", '']
['interruption, and promised that it should not occur again, if he would', '']
['resume his book; but Mr. Collins, after assuring them that he bore his', '']
['young cousin no ill-will, and should never resent her behaviour as any', '']
['affront, seated himself at another table with Mr. Bennet, and prepared', '']
['for backgammon.', '']
['Chapter 15', '']
['Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had', '']
['been but little assisted by education or society; the greatest part', '']
['of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and', '']
['miserly father; and though he belonged to one of the universities, he', '']
['had merely kept the necessary terms, without forming at it any useful', '']
['acquaintance. The subjection in which his father had brought him up had', '']
['given him originally great humility of manner; but it was now a', '']
['good deal counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head, living in', '']
['retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected', '']
['prosperity. A fortunate chance had recommended him to Lady Catherine de', '']
['Bourgh when the living of Hunsford was vacant; and the respect which', '']
['he felt for her high rank, and his veneration for her as his patroness,', '']
['mingling with a very good opinion of himself, of his authority as a', '']
['clergyman, and his right as a rector, made him altogether a mixture of', '']
['pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.', '']
['Having now a good house and a very sufficient income, he intended to', '']
['marry; and in seeking a reconciliation with the Longbourn family he had', '']
['a wife in view, as he meant to choose one of the daughters, if he found', '']
['them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report.', '']
["This was his plan of amends--of atonement--for inheriting their father's", '']
['estate; and he thought it an excellent one, full of eligibility and', '']
['suitableness, and excessively generous and disinterested on his own', '']
['part.', '']
["His plan did not vary on seeing them. Miss Bennet's lovely face", '']
['confirmed his views, and established all his strictest notions of what', '']
['was due to seniority; and for the first evening _she_ was his settled', '']
['choice. The next morning, however, made an alteration; for in a', '']
["quarter of an hour's tete-a-tete with Mrs. Bennet before breakfast, a", '']
['conversation beginning with his parsonage-house, and leading naturally', '']
['to the avowal of his hopes, that a mistress might be found for it at', '']
['Longbourn, produced from her, amid very complaisant smiles and general', '']
['encouragement, a caution against the very Jane he had fixed on. "As to', '']
['her _younger_ daughters, she could not take upon her to say--she could', '']
['not positively answer--but she did not _know_ of any prepossession; her', '']
['_eldest_ daughter, she must just mention--she felt it incumbent on her', '']
['to hint, was likely to be very soon engaged."', '']
['Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth--and it was soon', '']
['done--done while Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire. Elizabeth, equally', '']
['next to Jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of course.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have', '']
['two daughters married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of', '']
['the day before was now high in her good graces.', '']
["Lydia's intention of walking to Meryton was not forgotten; every sister", '']
['except Mary agreed to go with her; and Mr. Collins was to attend them,', '']
['at the request of Mr. Bennet, who was most anxious to get rid of him,', '']
['and have his library to himself; for thither Mr. Collins had followed', '']
['him after breakfast; and there he would continue, nominally engaged with', '']
['one of the largest folios in the collection, but really talking to Mr.', '']
['Bennet, with little cessation, of his house and garden at Hunsford. Such', '']
['doings discomposed Mr. Bennet exceedingly. In his library he had been', '']
['always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told', '']
['Elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the', '']
['house, he was used to be free from them there; his civility, therefore,', '']
['was most prompt in inviting Mr. Collins to join his daughters in their', '']
['walk; and Mr. Collins, being in fact much better fitted for a walker', '']
['than a reader, was extremely pleased to close his large book, and go.', '']
['In pompous nothings on his side, and civil assents on that of his', '']
['cousins, their time passed till they entered Meryton. The attention of', '']
['the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him. Their eyes were', '']
['immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers, and', '']
['nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed, or a really new muslin in', '']
['a shop window, could recall them.', '']
['But the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man, whom', '']
['they had never seen before, of most gentlemanlike appearance, walking', '']
['with another officer on the other side of the way. The officer was', '']
['the very Mr. Denny concerning whose return from London Lydia came', '']
['to inquire, and he bowed as they passed. All were struck with the', '']
["stranger's air, all wondered who he could be; and Kitty and Lydia,", '']
['determined if possible to find out, led the way across the street, under', '']
['pretense of wanting something in an opposite shop, and fortunately', '']
['had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen, turning back, had', '']
['reached the same spot. Mr. Denny addressed them directly, and entreated', '']
['permission to introduce his friend, Mr. Wickham, who had returned with', '']
['him the day before from town, and he was happy to say had accepted a', '']
['commission in their corps. This was exactly as it should be; for the', '']
['young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming.', '']
['His appearance was greatly in his favour; he had all the best part of', '']
['beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure, and very pleasing address.', '']
['The introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness', '']
['of conversation--a readiness at the same time perfectly correct and', '']
['unassuming; and the whole party were still standing and talking together', '']
['very agreeably, when the sound of horses drew their notice, and Darcy', '']
['and Bingley were seen riding down the street. On distinguishing the', '']
['ladies of the group, the two gentlemen came directly towards them, and', '']
['began the usual civilities. Bingley was the principal spokesman, and', '']
['Miss Bennet the principal object. He was then, he said, on his way to', '']
['Longbourn on purpose to inquire after her. Mr. Darcy corroborated', '']
['it with a bow, and was beginning to determine not to fix his eyes', '']
['on Elizabeth, when they were suddenly arrested by the sight of the', '']
['stranger, and Elizabeth happening to see the countenance of both as they', '']
['looked at each other, was all astonishment at the effect of the meeting.', '']
['Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. Mr. Wickham,', '']
['after a few moments, touched his hat--a salutation which Mr. Darcy just', '']
['deigned to return. What could be the meaning of it? It was impossible to', '']
['imagine; it was impossible not to long to know.', '']
['In another minute, Mr. Bingley, but without seeming to have noticed what', '']
['passed, took leave and rode on with his friend.', '']
['Mr. Denny and Mr. Wickham walked with the young ladies to the door of', '']
["Mr. Phillip's house, and then made their bows, in spite of Miss Lydia's", '']
['pressing entreaties that they should come in, and even in spite of', '']
["Mrs. Phillips's throwing up the parlour window and loudly seconding the", '']
['invitation.', '']
['Mrs. Phillips was always glad to see her nieces; and the two eldest,', '']
['from their recent absence, were particularly welcome, and she was', '']
['eagerly expressing her surprise at their sudden return home, which, as', '']
['their own carriage had not fetched them, she should have known nothing', '']
["about, if she had not happened to see Mr. Jones's shop-boy in the", '']
['street, who had told her that they were not to send any more draughts to', '']
['Netherfield because the Miss Bennets were come away, when her civility', '']
["was claimed towards Mr. Collins by Jane's introduction of him. She", '']
['received him with her very best politeness, which he returned with', '']
['as much more, apologising for his intrusion, without any previous', '']
['acquaintance with her, which he could not help flattering himself,', '']
['however, might be justified by his relationship to the young ladies who', '']
['introduced him to her notice. Mrs. Phillips was quite awed by such an', '']
['excess of good breeding; but her contemplation of one stranger was soon', '']
['put to an end by exclamations and inquiries about the other; of whom,', '']
['however, she could only tell her nieces what they already knew, that', '']
['Mr. Denny had brought him from London, and that he was to have a', '']
["lieutenant's commission in the ----shire. She had been watching him the", '']
['last hour, she said, as he walked up and down the street, and had Mr.', '']
['Wickham appeared, Kitty and Lydia would certainly have continued the', '']
['occupation, but unluckily no one passed windows now except a few of the', '']
['officers, who, in comparison with the stranger, were become "stupid,', '']
['disagreeable fellows." Some of them were to dine with the Phillipses', '']
['the next day, and their aunt promised to make her husband call on Mr.', '']
['Wickham, and give him an invitation also, if the family from Longbourn', '']
['would come in the evening. This was agreed to, and Mrs. Phillips', '']
['protested that they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery', '']
['tickets, and a little bit of hot supper afterwards. The prospect of such', '']
['delights was very cheering, and they parted in mutual good spirits. Mr.', '']
['Collins repeated his apologies in quitting the room, and was assured', '']
['with unwearying civility that they were perfectly needless.', '']
['As they walked home, Elizabeth related to Jane what she had seen pass', '']
['between the two gentlemen; but though Jane would have defended either', '']
['or both, had they appeared to be in the wrong, she could no more explain', '']
['such behaviour than her sister.', '']
['Mr. Collins on his return highly gratified Mrs. Bennet by admiring', '']
["Mrs. Phillips's manners and politeness. He protested that, except Lady", '']
['Catherine and her daughter, he had never seen a more elegant woman;', '']
['for she had not only received him with the utmost civility, but even', '']
['pointedly included him in her invitation for the next evening, although', '']
['utterly unknown to her before. Something, he supposed, might be', '']
['attributed to his connection with them, but yet he had never met with so', '']
['much attention in the whole course of his life.', '']
['Chapter 16', '']
["As no objection was made to the young people's engagement with their", '']
["aunt, and all Mr. Collins's scruples of leaving Mr. and Mrs. Bennet for", '']
['a single evening during his visit were most steadily resisted, the coach', '']
['conveyed him and his five cousins at a suitable hour to Meryton; and', '']
['the girls had the pleasure of hearing, as they entered the drawing-room,', '']
["that Mr. Wickham had accepted their uncle's invitation, and was then in", '']
['the house.', '']
['When this information was given, and they had all taken their seats, Mr.', '']
['Collins was at leisure to look around him and admire, and he was so much', '']
['struck with the size and furniture of the apartment, that he declared he', '']
['might almost have supposed himself in the small summer breakfast', '']
['parlour at Rosings; a comparison that did not at first convey much', '']
['gratification; but when Mrs. Phillips understood from him what', '']
['Rosings was, and who was its proprietor--when she had listened to the', '']
["description of only one of Lady Catherine's drawing-rooms, and found", '']
['that the chimney-piece alone had cost eight hundred pounds, she felt all', '']
['the force of the compliment, and would hardly have resented a comparison', '']
["with the housekeeper's room.", '']
['In describing to her all the grandeur of Lady Catherine and her mansion,', '']
['with occasional digressions in praise of his own humble abode, and', '']
['the improvements it was receiving, he was happily employed until the', '']
['gentlemen joined them; and he found in Mrs. Phillips a very attentive', '']
['listener, whose opinion of his consequence increased with what she', '']
['heard, and who was resolving to retail it all among her neighbours as', '']
['soon as she could. To the girls, who could not listen to their cousin,', '']
['and who had nothing to do but to wish for an instrument, and examine', '']
['their own indifferent imitations of china on the mantelpiece, the', '']
['interval of waiting appeared very long. It was over at last, however.', '']
['The gentlemen did approach, and when Mr. Wickham walked into the room,', '']
['Elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before, nor thinking', '']
['of him since, with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration.', '']
['The officers of the ----shire were in general a very creditable,', '']
['gentlemanlike set, and the best of them were of the present party; but', '']
['Mr. Wickham was as far beyond them all in person, countenance, air, and', '']
['walk, as _they_ were superior to the broad-faced, stuffy uncle Phillips,', '']
['breathing port wine, who followed them into the room.', '']
['Mr. Wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was', '']
['turned, and Elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated', '']
['himself; and the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into', '']
['conversation, though it was only on its being a wet night, made her feel', '']
['that the commonest, dullest, most threadbare topic might be rendered', '']
['interesting by the skill of the speaker.', '']
['With such rivals for the notice of the fair as Mr. Wickham and the', '']
['officers, Mr. Collins seemed to sink into insignificance; to the young', '']
['ladies he certainly was nothing; but he had still at intervals a kind', '']
['listener in Mrs. Phillips, and was by her watchfulness, most abundantly', '']
['supplied with coffee and muffin. When the card-tables were placed, he', '']
['had the opportunity of obliging her in turn, by sitting down to whist.', '']
['"I know little of the game at present," said he, "but I shall be glad', '']
['to improve myself, for in my situation in life--" Mrs. Phillips was very', '']
['glad for his compliance, but could not wait for his reason.', '']
['Mr. Wickham did not play at whist, and with ready delight was he', '']
['received at the other table between Elizabeth and Lydia. At first there', '']
["seemed danger of Lydia's engrossing him entirely, for she was a most", '']
['determined talker; but being likewise extremely fond of lottery tickets,', '']
['she soon grew too much interested in the game, too eager in making bets', '']
['and exclaiming after prizes to have attention for anyone in particular.', '']
['Allowing for the common demands of the game, Mr. Wickham was therefore', '']
['at leisure to talk to Elizabeth, and she was very willing to hear', '']
['him, though what she chiefly wished to hear she could not hope to be', '']
['told--the history of his acquaintance with Mr. Darcy. She dared not', '']
['even mention that gentleman. Her curiosity, however, was unexpectedly', '']
['relieved. Mr. Wickham began the subject himself. He inquired how far', '']
['Netherfield was from Meryton; and, after receiving her answer, asked in', '']
['a hesitating manner how long Mr. Darcy had been staying there.', '']
['"About a month," said Elizabeth; and then, unwilling to let the subject', '']
['drop, added, "He is a man of very large property in Derbyshire, I', '']
['understand."', '']
['"Yes," replied Mr. Wickham; "his estate there is a noble one. A clear', '']
['ten thousand per annum. You could not have met with a person more', '']
['capable of giving you certain information on that head than myself, for', '']
['I have been connected with his family in a particular manner from my', '']
['infancy."', '']
['Elizabeth could not but look surprised.', '']
['"You may well be surprised, Miss Bennet, at such an assertion, after', '']
['seeing, as you probably might, the very cold manner of our meeting', '']
['yesterday. Are you much acquainted with Mr. Darcy?"', '']
['"As much as I ever wish to be," cried Elizabeth very warmly. "I have', '']
['spent four days in the same house with him, and I think him very', '']
['disagreeable."', '']
['"I have no right to give _my_ opinion," said Wickham, "as to his being', '']
['agreeable or otherwise. I am not qualified to form one. I have known him', '']
['too long and too well to be a fair judge. It is impossible for _me_', '']
['to be impartial. But I believe your opinion of him would in general', '']
['astonish--and perhaps you would not express it quite so strongly', '']
['anywhere else. Here you are in your own family."', '']
['"Upon my word, I say no more _here_ than I might say in any house in', '']
['the neighbourhood, except Netherfield. He is not at all liked in', '']
['Hertfordshire. Everybody is disgusted with his pride. You will not find', '']
['him more favourably spoken of by anyone."', '']
['"I cannot pretend to be sorry," said Wickham, after a short', '']
['interruption, "that he or that any man should not be estimated beyond', '']
['their deserts; but with _him_ I believe it does not often happen. The', '']
['world is blinded by his fortune and consequence, or frightened by his', '']
['high and imposing manners, and sees him only as he chooses to be seen."', '']
['"I should take him, even on _my_ slight acquaintance, to be an', '']
['ill-tempered man." Wickham only shook his head.', '']
['"I wonder," said he, at the next opportunity of speaking, "whether he is', '']
['likely to be in this country much longer."', '']
['"I do not at all know; but I _heard_ nothing of his going away when I', '']
['was at Netherfield. I hope your plans in favour of the ----shire will', '']
['not be affected by his being in the neighbourhood."', '']
['"Oh! no--it is not for _me_ to be driven away by Mr. Darcy. If _he_', '']
['wishes to avoid seeing _me_, he must go. We are not on friendly terms,', '']
['and it always gives me pain to meet him, but I have no reason for', '']
['avoiding _him_ but what I might proclaim before all the world, a sense', '']
['of very great ill-usage, and most painful regrets at his being what he', '']
['is. His father, Miss Bennet, the late Mr. Darcy, was one of the best men', '']
['that ever breathed, and the truest friend I ever had; and I can never', '']
['be in company with this Mr. Darcy without being grieved to the soul by', '']
['a thousand tender recollections. His behaviour to myself has been', '']
['scandalous; but I verily believe I could forgive him anything and', '']
['everything, rather than his disappointing the hopes and disgracing the', '']
['memory of his father."', '']
['Elizabeth found the interest of the subject increase, and listened with', '']
['all her heart; but the delicacy of it prevented further inquiry.', '']
['Mr. Wickham began to speak on more general topics, Meryton, the', '']
['neighbourhood, the society, appearing highly pleased with all that', '']
['he had yet seen, and speaking of the latter with gentle but very', '']
['intelligible gallantry.', '']
['"It was the prospect of constant society, and good society," he added,', '']
['"which was my chief inducement to enter the ----shire. I knew it to be', '']
['a most respectable, agreeable corps, and my friend Denny tempted me', '']
['further by his account of their present quarters, and the very great', '']
['attentions and excellent acquaintances Meryton had procured them.', '']
['Society, I own, is necessary to me. I have been a disappointed man, and', '']
['my spirits will not bear solitude. I _must_ have employment and society.', '']
['A military life is not what I was intended for, but circumstances have', '']
['now made it eligible. The church _ought_ to have been my profession--I', '']
['was brought up for the church, and I should at this time have been in', '']
['possession of a most valuable living, had it pleased the gentleman we', '']
['were speaking of just now."', '']
['"Indeed!"', '']
['"Yes--the late Mr. Darcy bequeathed me the next presentation of the best', '']
['living in his gift. He was my godfather, and excessively attached to me.', '']
['I cannot do justice to his kindness. He meant to provide for me amply,', '']
['and thought he had done it; but when the living fell, it was given', '']
['elsewhere."', '']
['"Good heavens!" cried Elizabeth; "but how could _that_ be? How could his', '']
['will be disregarded? Why did you not seek legal redress?"', '']
['"There was just such an informality in the terms of the bequest as to', '']
['give me no hope from law. A man of honour could not have doubted the', '']
['intention, but Mr. Darcy chose to doubt it--or to treat it as a merely', '']
['conditional recommendation, and to assert that I had forfeited all claim', '']
['to it by extravagance, imprudence--in short anything or nothing. Certain', '']
['it is, that the living became vacant two years ago, exactly as I was', '']
['of an age to hold it, and that it was given to another man; and no', '']
['less certain is it, that I cannot accuse myself of having really done', '']
['anything to deserve to lose it. I have a warm, unguarded temper, and', '']
['I may have spoken my opinion _of_ him, and _to_ him, too freely. I can', '']
['recall nothing worse. But the fact is, that we are very different sort', '']
['of men, and that he hates me."', '']
['"This is quite shocking! He deserves to be publicly disgraced."', '']
['"Some time or other he _will_ be--but it shall not be by _me_. Till I', '']
['can forget his father, I can never defy or expose _him_."', '']
['Elizabeth honoured him for such feelings, and thought him handsomer than', '']
['ever as he expressed them.', '']
['"But what," said she, after a pause, "can have been his motive? What can', '']
['have induced him to behave so cruelly?"', '']
['"A thorough, determined dislike of me--a dislike which I cannot but', '']
['attribute in some measure to jealousy. Had the late Mr. Darcy liked me', '']
["less, his son might have borne with me better; but his father's uncommon", '']
['attachment to me irritated him, I believe, very early in life. He had', '']
['not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stood--the sort', '']
['of preference which was often given me."', '']
['"I had not thought Mr. Darcy so bad as this--though I have never liked', '']
['him. I had not thought so very ill of him. I had supposed him to be', '']
['despising his fellow-creatures in general, but did not suspect him of', '']
['descending to such malicious revenge, such injustice, such inhumanity as', '']
['this."', '']
['After a few minutes\' reflection, however, she continued, "I _do_', '']
['remember his boasting one day, at Netherfield, of the implacability of', '']
['his resentments, of his having an unforgiving temper. His disposition', '']
['must be dreadful."', '']
['"I will not trust myself on the subject," replied Wickham; "I can hardly', '']
['be just to him."', '']
['Elizabeth was again deep in thought, and after a time exclaimed, "To', '']
['treat in such a manner the godson, the friend, the favourite of his', '']
['father!" She could have added, "A young man, too, like _you_, whose very', '']
['countenance may vouch for your being amiable"--but she contented herself', '']
['with, "and one, too, who had probably been his companion from childhood,', '']
['connected together, as I think you said, in the closest manner!"', '']
['"We were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest', '']
['part of our youth was passed together; inmates of the same house,', '']
['sharing the same amusements, objects of the same parental care. _My_', '']
['father began life in the profession which your uncle, Mr. Phillips,', '']
['appears to do so much credit to--but he gave up everything to be of', '']
['use to the late Mr. Darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the', '']
['Pemberley property. He was most highly esteemed by Mr. Darcy, a most', '']
['intimate, confidential friend. Mr. Darcy often acknowledged himself to', '']
["be under the greatest obligations to my father's active superintendence,", '']
["and when, immediately before my father's death, Mr. Darcy gave him a", '']
['voluntary promise of providing for me, I am convinced that he felt it to', '']
['be as much a debt of gratitude to _him_, as of his affection to myself."', '']
['"How strange!" cried Elizabeth. "How abominable! I wonder that the very', '']
['pride of this Mr. Darcy has not made him just to you! If from no better', '']
['motive, that he should not have been too proud to be dishonest--for', '']
['dishonesty I must call it."', '']
['"It _is_ wonderful," replied Wickham, "for almost all his actions may', '']
['be traced to pride; and pride had often been his best friend. It has', '']
['connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling. But we are', '']
['none of us consistent, and in his behaviour to me there were stronger', '']
['impulses even than pride."', '']
['"Can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good?"', '']
['"Yes. It has often led him to be liberal and generous, to give his money', '']
['freely, to display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the', '']
['poor. Family pride, and _filial_ pride--for he is very proud of what', '']
['his father was--have done this. Not to appear to disgrace his family,', '']
['to degenerate from the popular qualities, or lose the influence of the', '']
['Pemberley House, is a powerful motive. He has also _brotherly_ pride,', '']
['which, with _some_ brotherly affection, makes him a very kind and', '']
['careful guardian of his sister, and you will hear him generally cried up', '']
['as the most attentive and best of brothers."', '']
['"What sort of girl is Miss Darcy?"', '']
['He shook his head. "I wish I could call her amiable. It gives me pain to', '']
['speak ill of a Darcy. But she is too much like her brother--very, very', '']
['proud. As a child, she was affectionate and pleasing, and extremely fond', '']
['of me; and I have devoted hours and hours to her amusement. But she is', '']
['nothing to me now. She is a handsome girl, about fifteen or sixteen,', '']
["and, I understand, highly accomplished. Since her father's death, her", '']
['home has been London, where a lady lives with her, and superintends her', '']
['education."', '']
['After many pauses and many trials of other subjects, Elizabeth could not', '']
['help reverting once more to the first, and saying:', '']
['"I am astonished at his intimacy with Mr. Bingley! How can Mr. Bingley,', '']
['who seems good humour itself, and is, I really believe, truly amiable,', '']
['be in friendship with such a man? How can they suit each other? Do you', '']
['know Mr. Bingley?"', '']
['"Not at all."', '']
['"He is a sweet-tempered, amiable, charming man. He cannot know what Mr.', '']
['Darcy is."', '']
['"Probably not; but Mr. Darcy can please where he chooses. He does not', '']
['want abilities. He can be a conversible companion if he thinks it worth', '']
['his while. Among those who are at all his equals in consequence, he is', '']
['a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous. His', '']
['pride never deserts him; but with the rich he is liberal-minded, just,', '']
['sincere, rational, honourable, and perhaps agreeable--allowing something', '']
['for fortune and figure."', '']
['The whist party soon afterwards breaking up, the players gathered round', '']
['the other table and Mr. Collins took his station between his cousin', '']
['Elizabeth and Mrs. Phillips. The usual inquiries as to his success were', '']
['made by the latter. It had not been very great; he had lost every', '']
['point; but when Mrs. Phillips began to express her concern thereupon,', '']
['he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least', '']
['importance, that he considered the money as a mere trifle, and begged', '']
['that she would not make herself uneasy.', '']
['"I know very well, madam," said he, "that when persons sit down to a', '']
['card-table, they must take their chances of these things, and happily I', '']
['am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object. There', '']
['are undoubtedly many who could not say the same, but thanks to Lady', '']
['Catherine de Bourgh, I am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding', '']
['little matters."', '']
["Mr. Wickham's attention was caught; and after observing Mr. Collins for", '']
['a few moments, he asked Elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation', '']
['was very intimately acquainted with the family of de Bourgh.', '']
['"Lady Catherine de Bourgh," she replied, "has very lately given him', '']
['a living. I hardly know how Mr. Collins was first introduced to her', '']
['notice, but he certainly has not known her long."', '']
['"You know of course that Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Lady Anne Darcy', '']
['were sisters; consequently that she is aunt to the present Mr. Darcy."', '']
['"No, indeed, I did not. I knew nothing at all of Lady Catherine\'s', '']
['connections. I never heard of her existence till the day before', '']
['yesterday."', '']
['"Her daughter, Miss de Bourgh, will have a very large fortune, and it is', '']
['believed that she and her cousin will unite the two estates."', '']
['This information made Elizabeth smile, as she thought of poor Miss', '']
['Bingley. Vain indeed must be all her attentions, vain and useless her', '']
['affection for his sister and her praise of himself, if he were already', '']
['self-destined for another.', '']
['"Mr. Collins," said she, "speaks highly both of Lady Catherine and her', '']
['daughter; but from some particulars that he has related of her ladyship,', '']
['I suspect his gratitude misleads him, and that in spite of her being his', '']
['patroness, she is an arrogant, conceited woman."', '']
['"I believe her to be both in a great degree," replied Wickham; "I have', '']
['not seen her for many years, but I very well remember that I never liked', '']
['her, and that her manners were dictatorial and insolent. She has the', '']
['reputation of being remarkably sensible and clever; but I rather believe', '']
['she derives part of her abilities from her rank and fortune, part from', '']
['her authoritative manner, and the rest from the pride for her', '']
['nephew, who chooses that everyone connected with him should have an', '']
['understanding of the first class."', '']
['Elizabeth allowed that he had given a very rational account of it, and', '']
['they continued talking together, with mutual satisfaction till supper', '']
['put an end to cards, and gave the rest of the ladies their share of Mr.', '']
["Wickham's attentions. There could be no conversation in the noise", '']
["of Mrs. Phillips's supper party, but his manners recommended him to", '']
['everybody. Whatever he said, was said well; and whatever he did, done', '']
['gracefully. Elizabeth went away with her head full of him. She could', '']
['think of nothing but of Mr. Wickham, and of what he had told her, all', '']
['the way home; but there was not time for her even to mention his name', '']
['as they went, for neither Lydia nor Mr. Collins were once silent. Lydia', '']
['talked incessantly of lottery tickets, of the fish she had lost and the', '']
['fish she had won; and Mr. Collins in describing the civility of Mr. and', '']
['Mrs. Phillips, protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses', '']
['at whist, enumerating all the dishes at supper, and repeatedly fearing', '']
['that he crowded his cousins, had more to say than he could well manage', '']
['before the carriage stopped at Longbourn House.', '']
['Chapter 17', '']
['Elizabeth related to Jane the next day what had passed between Mr.', '']
['Wickham and herself. Jane listened with astonishment and concern; she', '']
['knew not how to believe that Mr. Darcy could be so unworthy of Mr.', '']
["Bingley's regard; and yet, it was not in her nature to question the", '']
['veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as Wickham. The', '']
['possibility of his having endured such unkindness, was enough to', '']
['interest all her tender feelings; and nothing remained therefore to be', '']
['done, but to think well of them both, to defend the conduct of each,', '']
['and throw into the account of accident or mistake whatever could not be', '']
['otherwise explained.', '']
['"They have both," said she, "been deceived, I dare say, in some way', '']
['or other, of which we can form no idea. Interested people have perhaps', '']
['misrepresented each to the other. It is, in short, impossible for us to', '']
['conjecture the causes or circumstances which may have alienated them,', '']
['without actual blame on either side."', '']
['"Very true, indeed; and now, my dear Jane, what have you got to say on', '']
['behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the', '']
['business? Do clear _them_ too, or we shall be obliged to think ill of', '']
['somebody."', '']
['"Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my', '']
['opinion. My dearest Lizzy, do but consider in what a disgraceful light', '']
["it places Mr. Darcy, to be treating his father's favourite in such", '']
['a manner, one whom his father had promised to provide for. It is', '']
['impossible. No man of common humanity, no man who had any value for his', '']
['character, could be capable of it. Can his most intimate friends be so', '']
['excessively deceived in him? Oh! no."', '']
['"I can much more easily believe Mr. Bingley\'s being imposed on, than', '']
['that Mr. Wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me', '']
['last night; names, facts, everything mentioned without ceremony. If it', '']
['be not so, let Mr. Darcy contradict it. Besides, there was truth in his', '']
['looks."', '']
['"It is difficult indeed--it is distressing. One does not know what to', '']
['think."', '']
['"I beg your pardon; one knows exactly what to think."', '']
['But Jane could think with certainty on only one point--that Mr. Bingley,', '']
['if he _had_ been imposed on, would have much to suffer when the affair', '']
['became public.', '']
['The two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery, where this', '']
['conversation passed, by the arrival of the very persons of whom they had', '']
['been speaking; Mr. Bingley and his sisters came to give their personal', '']
['invitation for the long-expected ball at Netherfield, which was fixed', '']
['for the following Tuesday. The two ladies were delighted to see their', '']
['dear friend again, called it an age since they had met, and repeatedly', '']
['asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation. To', '']
['the rest of the family they paid little attention; avoiding Mrs. Bennet', '']
['as much as possible, saying not much to Elizabeth, and nothing at all to', '']
['the others. They were soon gone again, rising from their seats with an', '']
['activity which took their brother by surprise, and hurrying off as if', '']
["eager to escape from Mrs. Bennet's civilities.", '']
['The prospect of the Netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every', '']
['female of the family. Mrs. Bennet chose to consider it as given in', '']
['compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered', '']
['by receiving the invitation from Mr. Bingley himself, instead of a', '']
['ceremonious card. Jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the', '']
['society of her two friends, and the attentions of their brother; and', '']
['Elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with Mr.', '']
["Wickham, and of seeing a confirmation of everything in Mr. Darcy's look", '']
['and behaviour. The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia depended', '']
['less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they', '']
['each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham,', '']
['he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball', '']
['was, at any rate, a ball. And even Mary could assure her family that she', '']
['had no disinclination for it.', '']
['"While I can have my mornings to myself," said she, "it is enough--I', '']
['think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements.', '']
['Society has claims on us all; and I profess myself one of those', '']
['who consider intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for', '']
['everybody."', '']
["Elizabeth's spirits were so high on this occasion, that though she did", '']
['not often speak unnecessarily to Mr. Collins, she could not help asking', '']
["him whether he intended to accept Mr. Bingley's invitation, and if", '']
["he did, whether he would think it proper to join in the evening's", '']
['amusement; and she was rather surprised to find that he entertained no', '']
['scruple whatever on that head, and was very far from dreading a rebuke', '']
['either from the Archbishop, or Lady Catherine de Bourgh, by venturing to', '']
['dance.', '']
['"I am by no means of the opinion, I assure you," said he, "that a ball', '']
['of this kind, given by a young man of character, to respectable people,', '']
['can have any evil tendency; and I am so far from objecting to dancing', '']
['myself, that I shall hope to be honoured with the hands of all my fair', '']
['cousins in the course of the evening; and I take this opportunity of', '']
['soliciting yours, Miss Elizabeth, for the two first dances especially,', '']
['a preference which I trust my cousin Jane will attribute to the right', '']
['cause, and not to any disrespect for her."', '']
['Elizabeth felt herself completely taken in. She had fully proposed being', '']
['engaged by Mr. Wickham for those very dances; and to have Mr. Collins', '']
['instead! her liveliness had never been worse timed. There was no help', '']
["for it, however. Mr. Wickham's happiness and her own were perforce", '']
["delayed a little longer, and Mr. Collins's proposal accepted with as", '']
['good a grace as she could. She was not the better pleased with his', '']
['gallantry from the idea it suggested of something more. It now first', '']
['struck her, that _she_ was selected from among her sisters as worthy', '']
['of being mistress of Hunsford Parsonage, and of assisting to form a', '']
['quadrille table at Rosings, in the absence of more eligible visitors.', '']
['The idea soon reached to conviction, as she observed his increasing', '']
['civilities toward herself, and heard his frequent attempt at a', '']
['compliment on her wit and vivacity; and though more astonished than', '']
['gratified herself by this effect of her charms, it was not long before', '']
['her mother gave her to understand that the probability of their marriage', '']
['was extremely agreeable to _her_. Elizabeth, however, did not choose', '']
['to take the hint, being well aware that a serious dispute must be the', '']
['consequence of any reply. Mr. Collins might never make the offer, and', '']
['till he did, it was useless to quarrel about him.', '']
['If there had not been a Netherfield ball to prepare for and talk of, the', '']
['younger Miss Bennets would have been in a very pitiable state at this', '']
['time, for from the day of the invitation, to the day of the ball, there', '']
['was such a succession of rain as prevented their walking to Meryton', '']
['once. No aunt, no officers, no news could be sought after--the very', '']
['shoe-roses for Netherfield were got by proxy. Even Elizabeth might have', '']
['found some trial of her patience in weather which totally suspended the', '']
['improvement of her acquaintance with Mr. Wickham; and nothing less than', '']
['a dance on Tuesday, could have made such a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and', '']
['Monday endurable to Kitty and Lydia.', '']
['Chapter 18', '']
['Till Elizabeth entered the drawing-room at Netherfield, and looked in', '']
['vain for Mr. Wickham among the cluster of red coats there assembled, a', '']
['doubt of his being present had never occurred to her. The certainty', '']
['of meeting him had not been checked by any of those recollections that', '']
['might not unreasonably have alarmed her. She had dressed with more than', '']
['usual care, and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all', '']
['that remained unsubdued of his heart, trusting that it was not more than', '']
['might be won in the course of the evening. But in an instant arose', '']
["the dreadful suspicion of his being purposely omitted for Mr. Darcy's", '']
["pleasure in the Bingleys' invitation to the officers; and though", '']
['this was not exactly the case, the absolute fact of his absence was', '']
['pronounced by his friend Denny, to whom Lydia eagerly applied, and who', '']
['told them that Wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the', '']
['day before, and was not yet returned; adding, with a significant smile,', '']
['"I do not imagine his business would have called him away just now, if', '']
['he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here."', '']
['This part of his intelligence, though unheard by Lydia, was caught by', '']
['Elizabeth, and, as it assured her that Darcy was not less answerable for', '']
["Wickham's absence than if her first surmise had been just, every", '']
['feeling of displeasure against the former was so sharpened by immediate', '']
['disappointment, that she could hardly reply with tolerable civility to', '']
['the polite inquiries which he directly afterwards approached to make.', '']
['Attendance, forbearance, patience with Darcy, was injury to Wickham. She', '']
['was resolved against any sort of conversation with him, and turned away', '']
['with a degree of ill-humour which she could not wholly surmount even in', '']
['speaking to Mr. Bingley, whose blind partiality provoked her.', '']
['But Elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect', '']
['of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her', '']
['spirits; and having told all her griefs to Charlotte Lucas, whom she had', '']
['not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition', '']
['to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular', '']
['notice. The first two dances, however, brought a return of distress;', '']
['they were dances of mortification. Mr. Collins, awkward and solemn,', '']
['apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being', '']
['aware of it, gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable', '']
['partner for a couple of dances can give. The moment of her release from', '']
['him was ecstasy.', '']
['She danced next with an officer, and had the refreshment of talking of', '']
['Wickham, and of hearing that he was universally liked. When those dances', '']
['were over, she returned to Charlotte Lucas, and was in conversation with', '']
['her, when she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr. Darcy who took', '']
['her so much by surprise in his application for her hand, that,', '']
['without knowing what she did, she accepted him. He walked away again', '']
['immediately, and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of', '']
['mind; Charlotte tried to console her:', '']
['"I dare say you will find him very agreeable."', '']
['"Heaven forbid! _That_ would be the greatest misfortune of all! To find', '']
['a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! Do not wish me such an', '']
['evil."', '']
['When the dancing recommenced, however, and Darcy approached to claim her', '']
['hand, Charlotte could not help cautioning her in a whisper, not to be a', '']
['simpleton, and allow her fancy for Wickham to make her appear unpleasant', '']
['in the eyes of a man ten times his consequence. Elizabeth made no', '']
['answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to which', '']
['she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to Mr. Darcy, and', '']
["reading in her neighbours' looks, their equal amazement in beholding", '']
['it. They stood for some time without speaking a word; and she began to', '']
['imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances, and at', '']
['first was resolved not to break it; till suddenly fancying that it would', '']
['be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk, she made', '']
['some slight observation on the dance. He replied, and was again', '']
['silent. After a pause of some minutes, she addressed him a second time', '']
['with:--"It is _your_ turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked', '']
['about the dance, and _you_ ought to make some sort of remark on the size', '']
['of the room, or the number of couples."', '']
['He smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be', '']
['said.', '']
['"Very well. That reply will do for the present. Perhaps by and by I may', '']
['observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. But', '']
['_now_ we may be silent."', '']
['"Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?"', '']
['"Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be', '']
['entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet for the advantage of', '']
['_some_, conversation ought to be so arranged, as that they may have the', '']
['trouble of saying as little as possible."', '']
['"Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you', '']
['imagine that you are gratifying mine?"', '']
['"Both," replied Elizabeth archly; "for I have always seen a great', '']
['similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial,', '']
['taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say', '']
['something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to', '']
['posterity with all the eclat of a proverb."', '']
['"This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,"', '']
['said he. "How near it may be to _mine_, I cannot pretend to say. _You_', '']
['think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly."', '']
['"I must not decide on my own performance."', '']
['He made no answer, and they were again silent till they had gone down', '']
['the dance, when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often', '']
['walk to Meryton. She answered in the affirmative, and, unable to resist', '']
['the temptation, added, "When you met us there the other day, we had just', '']
['been forming a new acquaintance."', '']
['The effect was immediate. A deeper shade of _hauteur_ overspread his', '']
['features, but he said not a word, and Elizabeth, though blaming herself', '']
['for her own weakness, could not go on. At length Darcy spoke, and in a', '']
['constrained manner said, "Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners', '']
['as may ensure his _making_ friends--whether he may be equally capable of', '']
['_retaining_ them, is less certain."', '']
['"He has been so unlucky as to lose _your_ friendship," replied Elizabeth', '']
['with emphasis, "and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all', '']
['his life."', '']
['Darcy made no answer, and seemed desirous of changing the subject. At', '']
['that moment, Sir William Lucas appeared close to them, meaning to pass', '']
['through the set to the other side of the room; but on perceiving Mr.', '']
['Darcy, he stopped with a bow of superior courtesy to compliment him on', '']
['his dancing and his partner.', '']
['"I have been most highly gratified indeed, my dear sir. Such very', '']
['superior dancing is not often seen. It is evident that you belong to the', '']
['first circles. Allow me to say, however, that your fair partner does not', '']
['disgrace you, and that I must hope to have this pleasure often repeated,', '']
['especially when a certain desirable event, my dear Eliza (glancing at', '']
['her sister and Bingley) shall take place. What congratulations will then', '']
['flow in! I appeal to Mr. Darcy:--but let me not interrupt you, sir. You', '']
['will not thank me for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that', '']
['young lady, whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me."', '']
['The latter part of this address was scarcely heard by Darcy; but Sir', '']
["William's allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly, and his", '']
['eyes were directed with a very serious expression towards Bingley and', '']
['Jane, who were dancing together. Recovering himself, however, shortly,', '']
['he turned to his partner, and said, "Sir William\'s interruption has made', '']
['me forget what we were talking of."', '']
['"I do not think we were speaking at all. Sir William could not have', '']
['interrupted two people in the room who had less to say for themselves.', '']
['We have tried two or three subjects already without success, and what we', '']
['are to talk of next I cannot imagine."', '']
['"What think you of books?" said he, smiling.', '']
['"Books--oh! no. I am sure we never read the same, or not with the same', '']
['feelings."', '']
['"I am sorry you think so; but if that be the case, there can at least be', '']
['no want of subject. We may compare our different opinions."', '']
['"No--I cannot talk of books in a ball-room; my head is always full of', '']
['something else."', '']
['"The _present_ always occupies you in such scenes--does it?" said he,', '']
['with a look of doubt.', '']
['"Yes, always," she replied, without knowing what she said, for her', '']
['thoughts had wandered far from the subject, as soon afterwards appeared', '']
['by her suddenly exclaiming, "I remember hearing you once say, Mr. Darcy,', '']
['that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was', '']
['unappeasable. You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its _being', '']
['created_."', '']
['"I am," said he, with a firm voice.', '']
['"And never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice?"', '']
['"I hope not."', '']
['"It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion,', '']
['to be secure of judging properly at first."', '']
['"May I ask to what these questions tend?"', '']
['"Merely to the illustration of _your_ character," said she, endeavouring', '']
['to shake off her gravity. "I am trying to make it out."', '']
['"And what is your success?"', '']
['She shook her head. "I do not get on at all. I hear such different', '']
['accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly."', '']
['"I can readily believe," answered he gravely, "that reports may vary', '']
['greatly with respect to me; and I could wish, Miss Bennet, that you were', '']
['not to sketch my character at the present moment, as there is reason to', '']
['fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either."', '']
['"But if I do not take your likeness now, I may never have another', '']
['opportunity."', '']
['"I would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours," he coldly replied.', '']
['She said no more, and they went down the other dance and parted in', '']
['silence; and on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree,', '']
["for in Darcy's breast there was a tolerably powerful feeling towards", '']
['her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against', '']
['another.', '']
['They had not long separated, when Miss Bingley came towards her, and', '']
['with an expression of civil disdain accosted her:', '']
['"So, Miss Eliza, I hear you are quite delighted with George Wickham!', '']
['Your sister has been talking to me about him, and asking me a thousand', '']
['questions; and I find that the young man quite forgot to tell you, among', '']
['his other communication, that he was the son of old Wickham, the late', '']
["Mr. Darcy's steward. Let me recommend you, however, as a friend, not to", '']
["give implicit confidence to all his assertions; for as to Mr. Darcy's", '']
['using him ill, it is perfectly false; for, on the contrary, he has', '']
['always been remarkably kind to him, though George Wickham has treated', '']
['Mr. Darcy in a most infamous manner. I do not know the particulars, but', '']
['I know very well that Mr. Darcy is not in the least to blame, that he', '']
['cannot bear to hear George Wickham mentioned, and that though my brother', '']
['thought that he could not well avoid including him in his invitation to', '']
['the officers, he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself', '']
['out of the way. His coming into the country at all is a most insolent', '']
['thing, indeed, and I wonder how he could presume to do it. I pity you,', '']
["Miss Eliza, for this discovery of your favourite's guilt; but really,", '']
['considering his descent, one could not expect much better."', '']
['"His guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same," said', '']
['Elizabeth angrily; "for I have heard you accuse him of nothing worse', '']
["than of being the son of Mr. Darcy's steward, and of _that_, I can", '']
['assure you, he informed me himself."', '']
['"I beg your pardon," replied Miss Bingley, turning away with a sneer.', '']
['"Excuse my interference--it was kindly meant."', '']
['"Insolent girl!" said Elizabeth to herself. "You are much mistaken', '']
['if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this. I see', '']
['nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of Mr.', '']
['Darcy." She then sought her eldest sister, who had undertaken to make', '']
['inquiries on the same subject of Bingley. Jane met her with a smile of', '']
['such sweet complacency, a glow of such happy expression, as sufficiently', '']
['marked how well she was satisfied with the occurrences of the evening.', '']
['Elizabeth instantly read her feelings, and at that moment solicitude for', '']
['Wickham, resentment against his enemies, and everything else, gave way', '']
["before the hope of Jane's being in the fairest way for happiness.", '']
['"I want to know," said she, with a countenance no less smiling than her', '']
['sister\'s, "what you have learnt about Mr. Wickham. But perhaps you have', '']
['been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person; in which case', '']
['you may be sure of my pardon."', '']
['"No," replied Jane, "I have not forgotten him; but I have nothing', '']
['satisfactory to tell you. Mr. Bingley does not know the whole of', '']
['his history, and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have', '']
['principally offended Mr. Darcy; but he will vouch for the good conduct,', '']
['the probity, and honour of his friend, and is perfectly convinced that', '']
['Mr. Wickham has deserved much less attention from Mr. Darcy than he has', '']
["received; and I am sorry to say by his account as well as his sister's,", '']
['Mr. Wickham is by no means a respectable young man. I am afraid he has', '']
['been very imprudent, and has deserved to lose Mr. Darcy\'s regard."', '']
['"Mr. Bingley does not know Mr. Wickham himself?"', '']
['"No; he never saw him till the other morning at Meryton."', '']
['"This account then is what he has received from Mr. Darcy. I am', '']
['satisfied. But what does he say of the living?"', '']
['"He does not exactly recollect the circumstances, though he has heard', '']
['them from Mr. Darcy more than once, but he believes that it was left to', '']
['him _conditionally_ only."', '']
['"I have not a doubt of Mr. Bingley\'s sincerity," said Elizabeth warmly;', '']
['"but you must excuse my not being convinced by assurances only. Mr.', '']
["Bingley's defense of his friend was a very able one, I dare say; but", '']
['since he is unacquainted with several parts of the story, and has learnt', '']
['the rest from that friend himself, I shall venture to still think of', '']
['both gentlemen as I did before."', '']
['She then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each, and on', '']
['which there could be no difference of sentiment. Elizabeth listened with', '']
['delight to the happy, though modest hopes which Jane entertained of Mr.', '']
["Bingley's regard, and said all in her power to heighten her confidence", '']
['in it. On their being joined by Mr. Bingley himself, Elizabeth withdrew', '']
['to Miss Lucas; to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last', '']
['partner she had scarcely replied, before Mr. Collins came up to them,', '']
['and told her with great exultation that he had just been so fortunate as', '']
['to make a most important discovery.', '']
['"I have found out," said he, "by a singular accident, that there is now', '']
['in the room a near relation of my patroness. I happened to overhear the', '']
['gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the honours of', '']
['the house the names of his cousin Miss de Bourgh, and of her mother Lady', '']
['Catherine. How wonderfully these sort of things occur! Who would have', '']
['thought of my meeting with, perhaps, a nephew of Lady Catherine de', '']
['Bourgh in this assembly! I am most thankful that the discovery is made', '']
['in time for me to pay my respects to him, which I am now going to', '']
['do, and trust he will excuse my not having done it before. My total', '']
['ignorance of the connection must plead my apology."', '']
['"You are not going to introduce yourself to Mr. Darcy!"', '']
['"Indeed I am. I shall entreat his pardon for not having done it earlier.', '']
["I believe him to be Lady Catherine's _nephew_. It will be in my power to", '']
['assure him that her ladyship was quite well yesterday se\'nnight."', '']
['Elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme, assuring him', '']
['that Mr. Darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction', '']
['as an impertinent freedom, rather than a compliment to his aunt; that', '']
['it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either', '']
['side; and that if it were, it must belong to Mr. Darcy, the superior in', '']
['consequence, to begin the acquaintance. Mr. Collins listened to her', '']
['with the determined air of following his own inclination, and, when she', '']
['ceased speaking, replied thus:', '']
['"My dear Miss Elizabeth, I have the highest opinion in the world in', '']
['your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your', '']
['understanding; but permit me to say, that there must be a wide', '']
['difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity,', '']
['and those which regulate the clergy; for, give me leave to observe that', '']
['I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with', '']
['the highest rank in the kingdom--provided that a proper humility of', '']
['behaviour is at the same time maintained. You must therefore allow me to', '']
['follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion, which leads me to', '']
['perform what I look on as a point of duty. Pardon me for neglecting to', '']
['profit by your advice, which on every other subject shall be my constant', '']
['guide, though in the case before us I consider myself more fitted by', '']
['education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young', '']
['lady like yourself." And with a low bow he left her to attack Mr.', '']
['Darcy, whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched, and whose', '']
['astonishment at being so addressed was very evident. Her cousin prefaced', '']
['his speech with a solemn bow and though she could not hear a word of', '']
['it, she felt as if hearing it all, and saw in the motion of his lips the', '']
['words "apology," "Hunsford," and "Lady Catherine de Bourgh." It vexed', '']
['her to see him expose himself to such a man. Mr. Darcy was eyeing him', '']
['with unrestrained wonder, and when at last Mr. Collins allowed him time', '']
['to speak, replied with an air of distant civility. Mr. Collins, however,', '']
["was not discouraged from speaking again, and Mr. Darcy's contempt seemed", '']
['abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech, and at the', '']
['end of it he only made him a slight bow, and moved another way. Mr.', '']
['Collins then returned to Elizabeth.', '']
['"I have no reason, I assure you," said he, "to be dissatisfied with my', '']
['reception. Mr. Darcy seemed much pleased with the attention. He answered', '']
['me with the utmost civility, and even paid me the compliment of saying', '']
["that he was so well convinced of Lady Catherine's discernment as to be", '']
['certain she could never bestow a favour unworthily. It was really a very', '']
['handsome thought. Upon the whole, I am much pleased with him."', '']
['As Elizabeth had no longer any interest of her own to pursue, she turned', '']
['her attention almost entirely on her sister and Mr. Bingley; and the', '']
['train of agreeable reflections which her observations gave birth to,', '']
['made her perhaps almost as happy as Jane. She saw her in idea settled in', '']
['that very house, in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection', '']
['could bestow; and she felt capable, under such circumstances, of', '']
["endeavouring even to like Bingley's two sisters. Her mother's thoughts", '']
['she plainly saw were bent the same way, and she determined not to', '']
['venture near her, lest she might hear too much. When they sat down to', '']
['supper, therefore, she considered it a most unlucky perverseness which', '']
['placed them within one of each other; and deeply was she vexed to find', '']
['that her mother was talking to that one person (Lady Lucas) freely,', '']
['openly, and of nothing else but her expectation that Jane would soon', '']
['be married to Mr. Bingley. It was an animating subject, and Mrs. Bennet', '']
['seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the', '']
['match. His being such a charming young man, and so rich, and living but', '']
['three miles from them, were the first points of self-gratulation; and', '']
['then it was such a comfort to think how fond the two sisters were of', '']
['Jane, and to be certain that they must desire the connection as much as', '']
['she could do. It was, moreover, such a promising thing for her younger', '']
["daughters, as Jane's marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of", '']
['other rich men; and lastly, it was so pleasant at her time of life to be', '']
['able to consign her single daughters to the care of their sister, that', '']
['she might not be obliged to go into company more than she liked. It was', '']
['necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure, because on', '']
['such occasions it is the etiquette; but no one was less likely than Mrs.', '']
['Bennet to find comfort in staying home at any period of her life. She', '']
['concluded with many good wishes that Lady Lucas might soon be equally', '']
['fortunate, though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no', '']
['chance of it.', '']
["In vain did Elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mother's", '']
['words, or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible', '']
['whisper; for, to her inexpressible vexation, she could perceive that the', '']
['chief of it was overheard by Mr. Darcy, who sat opposite to them. Her', '']
['mother only scolded her for being nonsensical.', '']
['"What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray, that I should be afraid of him? I am', '']
['sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say', '']
['nothing _he_ may not like to hear."', '']
['"For heaven\'s sake, madam, speak lower. What advantage can it be for you', '']
['to offend Mr. Darcy? You will never recommend yourself to his friend by', '']
['so doing!"', '']
['Nothing that she could say, however, had any influence. Her mother would', '']
['talk of her views in the same intelligible tone. Elizabeth blushed and', '']
['blushed again with shame and vexation. She could not help frequently', '']
['glancing her eye at Mr. Darcy, though every glance convinced her of what', '']
['she dreaded; for though he was not always looking at her mother, she was', '']
['convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her. The expression', '']
['of his face changed gradually from indignant contempt to a composed and', '']
['steady gravity.', '']
['At length, however, Mrs. Bennet had no more to say; and Lady Lucas, who', '']
['had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no', '']
['likelihood of sharing, was left to the comforts of cold ham and', '']
['chicken. Elizabeth now began to revive. But not long was the interval of', '']
['tranquillity; for, when supper was over, singing was talked of, and', '']
['she had the mortification of seeing Mary, after very little entreaty,', '']
['preparing to oblige the company. By many significant looks and silent', '']
['entreaties, did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance,', '']
['but in vain; Mary would not understand them; such an opportunity of', '']
["exhibiting was delightful to her, and she began her song. Elizabeth's", '']
['eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations, and she watched her', '']
['progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very', '']
['ill rewarded at their close; for Mary, on receiving, amongst the thanks', '']
['of the table, the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to', '']
['favour them again, after the pause of half a minute began another.', '']
["Mary's powers were by no means fitted for such a display; her voice was", '']
['weak, and her manner affected. Elizabeth was in agonies. She looked at', '']
['Jane, to see how she bore it; but Jane was very composedly talking to', '']
['Bingley. She looked at his two sisters, and saw them making signs', '']
['of derision at each other, and at Darcy, who continued, however,', '']
['imperturbably grave. She looked at her father to entreat his', '']
['interference, lest Mary should be singing all night. He took the hint,', '']
['and when Mary had finished her second song, said aloud, "That will do', '']
['extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other', '']
['young ladies have time to exhibit."', '']
['Mary, though pretending not to hear, was somewhat disconcerted; and', '']
["Elizabeth, sorry for her, and sorry for her father's speech, was afraid", '']
['her anxiety had done no good. Others of the party were now applied to.', '']
['"If I," said Mr. Collins, "were so fortunate as to be able to sing, I', '']
['should have great pleasure, I am sure, in obliging the company with an', '']
['air; for I consider music as a very innocent diversion, and perfectly', '']
['compatible with the profession of a clergyman. I do not mean, however,', '']
['to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time', '']
['to music, for there are certainly other things to be attended to. The', '']
['rector of a parish has much to do. In the first place, he must make', '']
['such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not', '']
['offensive to his patron. He must write his own sermons; and the time', '']
['that remains will not be too much for his parish duties, and the care', '']
['and improvement of his dwelling, which he cannot be excused from making', '']
['as comfortable as possible. And I do not think it of light importance', '']
['that he should have attentive and conciliatory manners towards everybody,', '']
['especially towards those to whom he owes his preferment. I cannot acquit', '']
['him of that duty; nor could I think well of the man who should omit an', '']
['occasion of testifying his respect towards anybody connected with the', '']
['family." And with a bow to Mr. Darcy, he concluded his speech, which had', '']
['been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room. Many stared--many', '']
['smiled; but no one looked more amused than Mr. Bennet himself, while his', '']
['wife seriously commended Mr. Collins for having spoken so sensibly,', '']
['and observed in a half-whisper to Lady Lucas, that he was a remarkably', '']
['clever, good kind of young man.', '']
['To Elizabeth it appeared that, had her family made an agreement to', '']
['expose themselves as much as they could during the evening, it would', '']
['have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit or', '']
['finer success; and happy did she think it for Bingley and her sister', '']
['that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice, and that his', '']
['feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he', '']
['must have witnessed. That his two sisters and Mr. Darcy, however, should', '']
['have such an opportunity of ridiculing her relations, was bad enough,', '']
['and she could not determine whether the silent contempt of the', '']
['gentleman, or the insolent smiles of the ladies, were more intolerable.', '']
['The rest of the evening brought her little amusement. She was teased by', '']
['Mr. Collins, who continued most perseveringly by her side, and though', '']
['he could not prevail on her to dance with him again, put it out of her', '']
['power to dance with others. In vain did she entreat him to stand up with', '']
['somebody else, and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room.', '']
['He assured her, that as to dancing, he was perfectly indifferent to it;', '']
['that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to', '']
['her and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her', '']
['the whole evening. There was no arguing upon such a project. She owed', '']
['her greatest relief to her friend Miss Lucas, who often joined them, and', '']
["good-naturedly engaged Mr. Collins's conversation to herself.", '']
["She was at least free from the offense of Mr. Darcy's further notice;", '']
['though often standing within a very short distance of her, quite', '']
['disengaged, he never came near enough to speak. She felt it to be the', '']
['probable consequence of her allusions to Mr. Wickham, and rejoiced in', '']
['it.', '']
['The Longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart, and, by', '']
['a manoeuvre of Mrs. Bennet, had to wait for their carriage a quarter of', '']
['an hour after everybody else was gone, which gave them time to see how', '']
['heartily they were wished away by some of the family. Mrs. Hurst and her', '']
['sister scarcely opened their mouths, except to complain of fatigue, and', '']
['were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves. They repulsed', '']
['every attempt of Mrs. Bennet at conversation, and by so doing threw a', '']
['languor over the whole party, which was very little relieved by the', '']
['long speeches of Mr. Collins, who was complimenting Mr. Bingley and his', '']
['sisters on the elegance of their entertainment, and the hospitality and', '']
['politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests. Darcy said', '']
['nothing at all. Mr. Bennet, in equal silence, was enjoying the scene.', '']
['Mr. Bingley and Jane were standing together, a little detached from the', '']
['rest, and talked only to each other. Elizabeth preserved as steady a', '']
['silence as either Mrs. Hurst or Miss Bingley; and even Lydia was too', '']
['much fatigued to utter more than the occasional exclamation of "Lord,', '']
['how tired I am!" accompanied by a violent yawn.', '']
['When at length they arose to take leave, Mrs. Bennet was most pressingly', '']
['civil in her hope of seeing the whole family soon at Longbourn, and', '']
['addressed herself especially to Mr. Bingley, to assure him how happy he', '']
['would make them by eating a family dinner with them at any time, without', '']
['the ceremony of a formal invitation. Bingley was all grateful pleasure,', '']
['and he readily engaged for taking the earliest opportunity of waiting on', '']
['her, after his return from London, whither he was obliged to go the next', '']
['day for a short time.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was perfectly satisfied, and quitted the house under the', '']
['delightful persuasion that, allowing for the necessary preparations of', '']
['settlements, new carriages, and wedding clothes, she should undoubtedly', '']
['see her daughter settled at Netherfield in the course of three or four', '']
['months. Of having another daughter married to Mr. Collins, she thought', '']
['with equal certainty, and with considerable, though not equal, pleasure.', '']
['Elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children; and though the', '']
['man and the match were quite good enough for _her_, the worth of each', '']
['was eclipsed by Mr. Bingley and Netherfield.', '']
['Chapter 19', '']
['The next day opened a new scene at Longbourn. Mr. Collins made his', '']
['declaration in form. Having resolved to do it without loss of time, as', '']
['his leave of absence extended only to the following Saturday, and having', '']
['no feelings of diffidence to make it distressing to himself even at', '']
['the moment, he set about it in a very orderly manner, with all the', '']
['observances, which he supposed a regular part of the business. On', '']
['finding Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth, and one of the younger girls together,', '']
['soon after breakfast, he addressed the mother in these words:', '']
['"May I hope, madam, for your interest with your fair daughter Elizabeth,', '']
['when I solicit for the honour of a private audience with her in the', '']
['course of this morning?"', '']
['Before Elizabeth had time for anything but a blush of surprise, Mrs.', '']
['Bennet answered instantly, "Oh dear!--yes--certainly. I am sure Lizzy', '']
['will be very happy--I am sure she can have no objection. Come, Kitty, I', '']
['want you up stairs." And, gathering her work together, she was hastening', '']
['away, when Elizabeth called out:', '']
['"Dear madam, do not go. I beg you will not go. Mr. Collins must excuse', '']
['me. He can have nothing to say to me that anybody need not hear. I am', '']
['going away myself."', '']
['"No, no, nonsense, Lizzy. I desire you to stay where you are." And upon', '']
["Elizabeth's seeming really, with vexed and embarrassed looks, about to", '']
['escape, she added: "Lizzy, I _insist_ upon your staying and hearing Mr.', '']
['Collins."', '']
["Elizabeth would not oppose such an injunction--and a moment's", '']
['consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it', '']
['over as soon and as quietly as possible, she sat down again and tried to', '']
['conceal, by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between', '']
['distress and diversion. Mrs. Bennet and Kitty walked off, and as soon as', '']
['they were gone, Mr. Collins began.', '']
['"Believe me, my dear Miss Elizabeth, that your modesty, so far from', '']
['doing you any disservice, rather adds to your other perfections. You', '']
['would have been less amiable in my eyes had there _not_ been this little', '']
['unwillingness; but allow me to assure you, that I have your respected', '']
["mother's permission for this address. You can hardly doubt the", '']
['purport of my discourse, however your natural delicacy may lead you to', '']
['dissemble; my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken. Almost as', '']
['soon as I entered the house, I singled you out as the companion of', '']
['my future life. But before I am run away with by my feelings on this', '']
['subject, perhaps it would be advisable for me to state my reasons for', '']
['marrying--and, moreover, for coming into Hertfordshire with the design', '']
['of selecting a wife, as I certainly did."', '']
['The idea of Mr. Collins, with all his solemn composure, being run away', '']
['with by his feelings, made Elizabeth so near laughing, that she could', '']
['not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him further,', '']
['and he continued:', '']
['"My reasons for marrying are, first, that I think it a right thing for', '']
['every clergyman in easy circumstances (like myself) to set the example', '']
['of matrimony in his parish; secondly, that I am convinced that it will', '']
['add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly--which perhaps I ought', '']
['to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and', '']
['recommendation of the very noble lady whom I have the honour of calling', '']
['patroness. Twice has she condescended to give me her opinion (unasked', '']
['too!) on this subject; and it was but the very Saturday night before I', '']
['left Hunsford--between our pools at quadrille, while Mrs. Jenkinson was', '']
["arranging Miss de Bourgh's footstool, that she said, 'Mr. Collins, you", '']
['must marry. A clergyman like you must marry. Choose properly, choose', '']
['a gentlewoman for _my_ sake; and for your _own_, let her be an active,', '']
['useful sort of person, not brought up high, but able to make a small', '']
['income go a good way. This is my advice. Find such a woman as soon as', '']
["you can, bring her to Hunsford, and I will visit her.' Allow me, by the", '']
['way, to observe, my fair cousin, that I do not reckon the notice', '']
['and kindness of Lady Catherine de Bourgh as among the least of the', '']
['advantages in my power to offer. You will find her manners beyond', '']
['anything I can describe; and your wit and vivacity, I think, must be', '']
['acceptable to her, especially when tempered with the silence and', '']
['respect which her rank will inevitably excite. Thus much for my general', '']
['intention in favour of matrimony; it remains to be told why my views', '']
['were directed towards Longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood, where I', '']
['can assure you there are many amiable young women. But the fact is, that', '']
['being, as I am, to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured', '']
['father (who, however, may live many years longer), I could not satisfy', '']
['myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters, that', '']
['the loss to them might be as little as possible, when the melancholy', '']
['event takes place--which, however, as I have already said, may not', '']
['be for several years. This has been my motive, my fair cousin, and', '']
['I flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem. And now nothing', '']
['remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the', '']
['violence of my affection. To fortune I am perfectly indifferent, and', '']
['shall make no demand of that nature on your father, since I am well', '']
['aware that it could not be complied with; and that one thousand pounds', '']
["in the four per cents, which will not be yours till after your mother's", '']
['decease, is all that you may ever be entitled to. On that head,', '']
['therefore, I shall be uniformly silent; and you may assure yourself that', '']
['no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married."', '']
['It was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now.', '']
['"You are too hasty, sir," she cried. "You forget that I have made no', '']
['answer. Let me do it without further loss of time. Accept my thanks for', '']
['the compliment you are paying me. I am very sensible of the honour of', '']
['your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to', '']
['decline them."', '']
['"I am not now to learn," replied Mr. Collins, with a formal wave of the', '']
['hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the', '']
['man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their', '']
['favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second, or even a', '']
['third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just', '']
['said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long."', '']
['"Upon my word, sir," cried Elizabeth, "your hope is a rather', '']
['extraordinary one after my declaration. I do assure you that I am not', '']
['one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so', '']
['daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second', '']
['time. I am perfectly serious in my refusal. You could not make _me_', '']
['happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who', '']
['could make you so. Nay, were your friend Lady Catherine to know me, I', '']
['am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the', '']
['situation."', '']
['"Were it certain that Lady Catherine would think so," said Mr. Collins', '']
['very gravely--"but I cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all', '']
['disapprove of you. And you may be certain when I have the honour of', '']
['seeing her again, I shall speak in the very highest terms of your', '']
['modesty, economy, and other amiable qualification."', '']
['"Indeed, Mr. Collins, all praise of me will be unnecessary. You', '']
['must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment', '']
['of believing what I say. I wish you very happy and very rich, and by', '']
['refusing your hand, do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise.', '']
['In making me the offer, you must have satisfied the delicacy of your', '']
['feelings with regard to my family, and may take possession of Longbourn', '']
['estate whenever it falls, without any self-reproach. This matter may', '']
['be considered, therefore, as finally settled." And rising as she', '']
['thus spoke, she would have quitted the room, had Mr. Collins not thus', '']
['addressed her:', '']
['"When I do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject, I', '']
['shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given', '']
['me; though I am far from accusing you of cruelty at present, because I', '']
['know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on', '']
['the first application, and perhaps you have even now said as much to', '']
['encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the', '']
['female character."', '']
['"Really, Mr. Collins," cried Elizabeth with some warmth, "you puzzle me', '']
['exceedingly. If what I have hitherto said can appear to you in the form', '']
['of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as', '']
['to convince you of its being one."', '']
['"You must give me leave to flatter myself, my dear cousin, that your', '']
['refusal of my addresses is merely words of course. My reasons for', '']
['believing it are briefly these: It does not appear to me that my hand is', '']
['unworthy of your acceptance, or that the establishment I can offer would', '']
['be any other than highly desirable. My situation in life, my connections', '']
['with the family of de Bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are', '']
['circumstances highly in my favour; and you should take it into further', '']
['consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no', '']
['means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you. Your', '']
['portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo', '']
['the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications. As I must', '']
['therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me,', '']
['I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by', '']
['suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females."', '']
['"I do assure you, sir, that I have no pretensions whatever to that kind', '']
['of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would', '']
['rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you', '']
['again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but', '']
['to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect', '']
['forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant', '']
['female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking', '']
['the truth from her heart."', '']
['"You are uniformly charming!" cried he, with an air of awkward', '']
['gallantry; "and I am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express', '']
['authority of both your excellent parents, my proposals will not fail of', '']
['being acceptable."', '']
['To such perseverance in wilful self-deception Elizabeth would make', '']
['no reply, and immediately and in silence withdrew; determined, if', '']
['he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering', '']
['encouragement, to apply to her father, whose negative might be uttered', '']
['in such a manner as to be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could', '']
['not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.', '']
['Chapter 20', '']
['Mr. Collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his', '']
['successful love; for Mrs. Bennet, having dawdled about in the vestibule', '']
['to watch for the end of the conference, no sooner saw Elizabeth open', '']
['the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she', '']
['entered the breakfast-room, and congratulated both him and herself in', '']
['warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection. Mr. Collins', '']
['received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure, and then', '']
['proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview, with the result', '']
['of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied, since the', '']
['refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow', '']
['from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character.', '']
['This information, however, startled Mrs. Bennet; she would have been', '']
['glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage', '']
['him by protesting against his proposals, but she dared not believe it,', '']
['and could not help saying so.', '']
['"But, depend upon it, Mr. Collins," she added, "that Lizzy shall be', '']
['brought to reason. I will speak to her about it directly. She is a very', '']
['headstrong, foolish girl, and does not know her own interest but I will', '']
['_make_ her know it."', '']
['"Pardon me for interrupting you, madam," cried Mr. Collins; "but if', '']
['she is really headstrong and foolish, I know not whether she would', '']
['altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation, who', '']
['naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state. If therefore she', '']
['actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not', '']
['to force her into accepting me, because if liable to such defects of', '']
['temper, she could not contribute much to my felicity."', '']
['"Sir, you quite misunderstand me," said Mrs. Bennet, alarmed. "Lizzy is', '']
['only headstrong in such matters as these. In everything else she is as', '']
['good-natured a girl as ever lived. I will go directly to Mr. Bennet, and', '']
['we shall very soon settle it with her, I am sure."', '']
['She would not give him time to reply, but hurrying instantly to her', '']
['husband, called out as she entered the library, "Oh! Mr. Bennet, you', '']
['are wanted immediately; we are all in an uproar. You must come and make', '']
['Lizzy marry Mr. Collins, for she vows she will not have him, and if you', '']
['do not make haste he will change his mind and not have _her_."', '']
['Mr. Bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered, and fixed them', '']
['on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by', '']
['her communication.', '']
['"I have not the pleasure of understanding you," said he, when she had', '']
['finished her speech. "Of what are you talking?"', '']
['"Of Mr. Collins and Lizzy. Lizzy declares she will not have Mr. Collins,', '']
['and Mr. Collins begins to say that he will not have Lizzy."', '']
['"And what am I to do on the occasion? It seems an hopeless business."', '']
['"Speak to Lizzy about it yourself. Tell her that you insist upon her', '']
['marrying him."', '']
['"Let her be called down. She shall hear my opinion."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet rang the bell, and Miss Elizabeth was summoned to the', '']
['library.', '']
['"Come here, child," cried her father as she appeared. "I have sent for', '']
['you on an affair of importance. I understand that Mr. Collins has made', '']
['you an offer of marriage. Is it true?" Elizabeth replied that it was.', '']
['"Very well--and this offer of marriage you have refused?"', '']
['"I have, sir."', '']
['"Very well. We now come to the point. Your mother insists upon your', '']
['accepting it. Is it not so, Mrs. Bennet?"', '']
['"Yes, or I will never see her again."', '']
['"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must', '']
['be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you', '']
['again if you do _not_ marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again', '']
['if you _do_."', '']
['Elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning,', '']
['but Mrs. Bennet, who had persuaded herself that her husband regarded the', '']
['affair as she wished, was excessively disappointed.', '']
['"What do you mean, Mr. Bennet, in talking this way? You promised me to', '']
['_insist_ upon her marrying him."', '']
['"My dear," replied her husband, "I have two small favours to request.', '']
['First, that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the', '']
['present occasion; and secondly, of my room. I shall be glad to have the', '']
['library to myself as soon as may be."', '']
['Not yet, however, in spite of her disappointment in her husband, did', '']
['Mrs. Bennet give up the point. She talked to Elizabeth again and again;', '']
['coaxed and threatened her by turns. She endeavoured to secure Jane', '']
['in her interest; but Jane, with all possible mildness, declined', '']
['interfering; and Elizabeth, sometimes with real earnestness, and', '']
['sometimes with playful gaiety, replied to her attacks. Though her manner', '']
['varied, however, her determination never did.', '']
['Mr. Collins, meanwhile, was meditating in solitude on what had passed.', '']
['He thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin', '']
['could refuse him; and though his pride was hurt, he suffered in no other', '']
['way. His regard for her was quite imaginary; and the possibility of her', '']
["deserving her mother's reproach prevented his feeling any regret.", '']
['While the family were in this confusion, Charlotte Lucas came to spend', '']
['the day with them. She was met in the vestibule by Lydia, who, flying to', '']
['her, cried in a half whisper, "I am glad you are come, for there is such', '']
['fun here! What do you think has happened this morning? Mr. Collins has', '']
['made an offer to Lizzy, and she will not have him."', '']
['Charlotte hardly had time to answer, before they were joined by Kitty,', '']
['who came to tell the same news; and no sooner had they entered the', '']
['breakfast-room, where Mrs. Bennet was alone, than she likewise began on', '']
['the subject, calling on Miss Lucas for her compassion, and entreating', '']
['her to persuade her friend Lizzy to comply with the wishes of all her', '']
['family. "Pray do, my dear Miss Lucas," she added in a melancholy tone,', '']
['"for nobody is on my side, nobody takes part with me. I am cruelly used,', '']
['nobody feels for my poor nerves."', '']
["Charlotte's reply was spared by the entrance of Jane and Elizabeth.", '']
['"Aye, there she comes," continued Mrs. Bennet, "looking as unconcerned', '']
['as may be, and caring no more for us than if we were at York, provided', '']
['she can have her own way. But I tell you, Miss Lizzy--if you take it', '']
['into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way,', '']
['you will never get a husband at all--and I am sure I do not know who is', '']
['to maintain you when your father is dead. I shall not be able to keep', '']
['you--and so I warn you. I have done with you from this very day. I told', '']
['you in the library, you know, that I should never speak to you again,', '']
['and you will find me as good as my word. I have no pleasure in talking', '']
['to undutiful children. Not that I have much pleasure, indeed, in talking', '']
['to anybody. People who suffer as I do from nervous complaints can have', '']
['no great inclination for talking. Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it', '']
['is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied."', '']
['Her daughters listened in silence to this effusion, sensible that', '']
['any attempt to reason with her or soothe her would only increase the', '']
['irritation. She talked on, therefore, without interruption from any of', '']
['them, till they were joined by Mr. Collins, who entered the room with', '']
['an air more stately than usual, and on perceiving whom, she said to', '']
['the girls, "Now, I do insist upon it, that you, all of you, hold', '']
['your tongues, and let me and Mr. Collins have a little conversation', '']
['together."', '']
['Elizabeth passed quietly out of the room, Jane and Kitty followed, but', '']
['Lydia stood her ground, determined to hear all she could; and Charlotte,', '']
['detained first by the civility of Mr. Collins, whose inquiries after', '']
['herself and all her family were very minute, and then by a little', '']
['curiosity, satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending', '']
['not to hear. In a doleful voice Mrs. Bennet began the projected', '']
['conversation: "Oh! Mr. Collins!"', '']
['"My dear madam," replied he, "let us be for ever silent on this point.', '']
['Far be it from me," he presently continued, in a voice that marked his', '']
['displeasure, "to resent the behaviour of your daughter. Resignation', '']
['to inevitable evils is the duty of us all; the peculiar duty of a', '']
['young man who has been so fortunate as I have been in early preferment;', '']
['and I trust I am resigned. Perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt', '']
['of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand;', '']
['for I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as', '']
['when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our', '']
['estimation. You will not, I hope, consider me as showing any disrespect', '']
['to your family, my dear madam, by thus withdrawing my pretensions to', '']
["your daughter's favour, without having paid yourself and Mr. Bennet the", '']
['compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my', '']
['behalf. My conduct may, I fear, be objectionable in having accepted my', '']
["dismission from your daughter's lips instead of your own. But we are all", '']
['liable to error. I have certainly meant well through the whole affair.', '']
['My object has been to secure an amiable companion for myself, with due', '']
['consideration for the advantage of all your family, and if my _manner_', '']
['has been at all reprehensible, I here beg leave to apologise."', '']
['Chapter 21', '']
["The discussion of Mr. Collins's offer was now nearly at an end, and", '']
['Elizabeth had only to suffer from the uncomfortable feelings necessarily', '']
['attending it, and occasionally from some peevish allusions of her', '']
['mother. As for the gentleman himself, _his_ feelings were chiefly', '']
['expressed, not by embarrassment or dejection, or by trying to avoid her,', '']
['but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence. He scarcely ever spoke', '']
['to her, and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of', '']
['himself were transferred for the rest of the day to Miss Lucas, whose', '']
['civility in listening to him was a seasonable relief to them all, and', '']
['especially to her friend.', '']
["The morrow produced no abatement of Mrs. Bennet's ill-humour or ill", '']
['health. Mr. Collins was also in the same state of angry pride. Elizabeth', '']
['had hoped that his resentment might shorten his visit, but his plan did', '']
['not appear in the least affected by it. He was always to have gone on', '']
['Saturday, and to Saturday he meant to stay.', '']
['After breakfast, the girls walked to Meryton to inquire if Mr. Wickham', '']
['were returned, and to lament over his absence from the Netherfield ball.', '']
['He joined them on their entering the town, and attended them to their', '']
["aunt's where his regret and vexation, and the concern of everybody, was", '']
['well talked over. To Elizabeth, however, he voluntarily acknowledged', '']
['that the necessity of his absence _had_ been self-imposed.', '']
['"I found," said he, "as the time drew near that I had better not meet', '']
['Mr. Darcy; that to be in the same room, the same party with him for so', '']
['many hours together, might be more than I could bear, and that scenes', '']
['might arise unpleasant to more than myself."', '']
['She highly approved his forbearance, and they had leisure for a full', '']
['discussion of it, and for all the commendation which they civilly', '']
['bestowed on each other, as Wickham and another officer walked back with', '']
['them to Longbourn, and during the walk he particularly attended to', '']
['her. His accompanying them was a double advantage; she felt all the', '']
['compliment it offered to herself, and it was most acceptable as an', '']
['occasion of introducing him to her father and mother.', '']
['Soon after their return, a letter was delivered to Miss Bennet; it came', '']
['from Netherfield. The envelope contained a sheet of elegant, little,', '']
["hot-pressed paper, well covered with a lady's fair, flowing hand; and", '']
["Elizabeth saw her sister's countenance change as she read it, and saw", '']
['her dwelling intently on some particular passages. Jane recollected', '']
['herself soon, and putting the letter away, tried to join with her usual', '']
['cheerfulness in the general conversation; but Elizabeth felt an anxiety', '']
['on the subject which drew off her attention even from Wickham; and no', '']
['sooner had he and his companion taken leave, than a glance from Jane', '']
['invited her to follow her up stairs. When they had gained their own room,', '']
['Jane, taking out the letter, said:', '']
['"This is from Caroline Bingley; what it contains has surprised me a good', '']
['deal. The whole party have left Netherfield by this time, and are on', '']
['their way to town--and without any intention of coming back again. You', '']
['shall hear what she says."', '']
['She then read the first sentence aloud, which comprised the information', '']
['of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly,', '']
['and of their meaning to dine in Grosvenor Street, where Mr. Hurst had a', '']
['house. The next was in these words: "I do not pretend to regret anything', '']
['I shall leave in Hertfordshire, except your society, my dearest friend;', '']
['but we will hope, at some future period, to enjoy many returns of that', '']
['delightful intercourse we have known, and in the meanwhile may', '']
['lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved', '']
['correspondence. I depend on you for that." To these highflown', '']
['expressions Elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust;', '']
['and though the suddenness of their removal surprised her, she saw', '']
['nothing in it really to lament; it was not to be supposed that their', '']
["absence from Netherfield would prevent Mr. Bingley's being there; and as", '']
['to the loss of their society, she was persuaded that Jane must cease to', '']
['regard it, in the enjoyment of his.', '']
['"It is unlucky," said she, after a short pause, "that you should not be', '']
['able to see your friends before they leave the country. But may we not', '']
['hope that the period of future happiness to which Miss Bingley looks', '']
['forward may arrive earlier than she is aware, and that the delightful', '']
['intercourse you have known as friends will be renewed with yet greater', '']
['satisfaction as sisters? Mr. Bingley will not be detained in London by', '']
['them."', '']
['"Caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into', '']
['Hertfordshire this winter. I will read it to you:"', '']
['"When my brother left us yesterday, he imagined that the business which', '']
['took him to London might be concluded in three or four days; but as we', '']
['are certain it cannot be so, and at the same time convinced that when', '']
['Charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again, we have', '']
['determined on following him thither, that he may not be obliged to spend', '']
['his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel. Many of my acquaintances are', '']
['already there for the winter; I wish that I could hear that you, my', '']
['dearest friend, had any intention of making one of the crowd--but of', '']
['that I despair. I sincerely hope your Christmas in Hertfordshire may', '']
['abound in the gaieties which that season generally brings, and that your', '']
['beaux will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the', '']
['three of whom we shall deprive you."', '']
['"It is evident by this," added Jane, "that he comes back no more this', '']
['winter."', '']
['"It is only evident that Miss Bingley does not mean that he _should_."', '']
['"Why will you think so? It must be his own doing. He is his own', '']
['master. But you do not know _all_. I _will_ read you the passage which', '']
['particularly hurts me. I will have no reserves from _you_."', '']
['"Mr. Darcy is impatient to see his sister; and, to confess the truth,', '']
['_we_ are scarcely less eager to meet her again. I really do not think', '']
['Georgiana Darcy has her equal for beauty, elegance, and accomplishments;', '']
['and the affection she inspires in Louisa and myself is heightened into', '']
['something still more interesting, from the hope we dare entertain of', '']
['her being hereafter our sister. I do not know whether I ever before', '']
['mentioned to you my feelings on this subject; but I will not leave the', '']
['country without confiding them, and I trust you will not esteem them', '']
['unreasonable. My brother admires her greatly already; he will have', '']
['frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing;', '']
["her relations all wish the connection as much as his own; and a sister's", '']
['partiality is not misleading me, I think, when I call Charles most', '']
["capable of engaging any woman's heart. With all these circumstances to", '']
['favour an attachment, and nothing to prevent it, am I wrong, my dearest', '']
['Jane, in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness', '']
['of so many?"', '']
['"What do you think of _this_ sentence, my dear Lizzy?" said Jane as she', '']
['finished it. "Is it not clear enough? Does it not expressly declare that', '']
['Caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister; that she is', '']
["perfectly convinced of her brother's indifference; and that if she", '']
['suspects the nature of my feelings for him, she means (most kindly!) to', '']
['put me on my guard? Can there be any other opinion on the subject?"', '']
['"Yes, there can; for mine is totally different. Will you hear it?"', '']
['"Most willingly."', '']
['"You shall have it in a few words. Miss Bingley sees that her brother is', '']
['in love with you, and wants him to marry Miss Darcy. She follows him', '']
['to town in hope of keeping him there, and tries to persuade you that he', '']
['does not care about you."', '']
['Jane shook her head.', '']
['"Indeed, Jane, you ought to believe me. No one who has ever seen you', '']
['together can doubt his affection. Miss Bingley, I am sure, cannot. She', '']
['is not such a simpleton. Could she have seen half as much love in Mr.', '']
['Darcy for herself, she would have ordered her wedding clothes. But the', '']
['case is this: We are not rich enough or grand enough for them; and she', '']
['is the more anxious to get Miss Darcy for her brother, from the notion', '']
['that when there has been _one_ intermarriage, she may have less trouble', '']
['in achieving a second; in which there is certainly some ingenuity, and', '']
['I dare say it would succeed, if Miss de Bourgh were out of the way. But,', '']
['my dearest Jane, you cannot seriously imagine that because Miss Bingley', '']
['tells you her brother greatly admires Miss Darcy, he is in the smallest', '']
['degree less sensible of _your_ merit than when he took leave of you on', '']
['Tuesday, or that it will be in her power to persuade him that, instead', '']
['of being in love with you, he is very much in love with her friend."', '']
['"If we thought alike of Miss Bingley," replied Jane, "your', '']
['representation of all this might make me quite easy. But I know the', '']
['foundation is unjust. Caroline is incapable of wilfully deceiving', '']
['anyone; and all that I can hope in this case is that she is deceiving', '']
['herself."', '']
['"That is right. You could not have started a more happy idea, since you', '']
['will not take comfort in mine. Believe her to be deceived, by all means.', '']
['You have now done your duty by her, and must fret no longer."', '']
['"But, my dear sister, can I be happy, even supposing the best, in', '']
['accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry', '']
['elsewhere?"', '']
['"You must decide for yourself," said Elizabeth; "and if, upon mature', '']
['deliberation, you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is', '']
['more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife, I advise you by', '']
['all means to refuse him."', '']
['"How can you talk so?" said Jane, faintly smiling. "You must know that', '']
['though I should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, I could', '']
['not hesitate."', '']
['"I did not think you would; and that being the case, I cannot consider', '']
['your situation with much compassion."', '']
['"But if he returns no more this winter, my choice will never be', '']
['required. A thousand things may arise in six months!"', '']
['The idea of his returning no more Elizabeth treated with the utmost', '']
["contempt. It appeared to her merely the suggestion of Caroline's", '']
['interested wishes, and she could not for a moment suppose that those', '']
['wishes, however openly or artfully spoken, could influence a young man', '']
['so totally independent of everyone.', '']
['She represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt', '']
['on the subject, and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect.', '']
["Jane's temper was not desponding, and she was gradually led to hope,", '']
['though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope, that', '']
['Bingley would return to Netherfield and answer every wish of her heart.', '']
['They agreed that Mrs. Bennet should only hear of the departure of the', '']
["family, without being alarmed on the score of the gentleman's conduct;", '']
['but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern,', '']
['and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen', '']
['to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together. After', '']
['lamenting it, however, at some length, she had the consolation that Mr.', '']
['Bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at Longbourn, and the', '']
['conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration, that though he had', '']
['been invited only to a family dinner, she would take care to have two', '']
['full courses.', '']
['Chapter 22', '']
['The Bennets were engaged to dine with the Lucases and again during the', '']
['chief of the day was Miss Lucas so kind as to listen to Mr. Collins.', '']
['Elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her. "It keeps him in good', '']
['humour," said she, "and I am more obliged to you than I can express."', '']
['Charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful, and', '']
['that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time. This was', '']
["very amiable, but Charlotte's kindness extended farther than Elizabeth", '']
['had any conception of; its object was nothing else than to secure her', '']
["from any return of Mr. Collins's addresses, by engaging them towards", '']
["herself. Such was Miss Lucas's scheme; and appearances were so", '']
['favourable, that when they parted at night, she would have felt almost', '']
['secure of success if he had not been to leave Hertfordshire so very', '']
['soon. But here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his', '']
['character, for it led him to escape out of Longbourn House the next', '']
['morning with admirable slyness, and hasten to Lucas Lodge to throw', '']
['himself at her feet. He was anxious to avoid the notice of his cousins,', '']
['from a conviction that if they saw him depart, they could not fail to', '']
['conjecture his design, and he was not willing to have the attempt known', '']
['till its success might be known likewise; for though feeling almost', '']
['secure, and with reason, for Charlotte had been tolerably encouraging,', '']
['he was comparatively diffident since the adventure of Wednesday.', '']
['His reception, however, was of the most flattering kind. Miss Lucas', '']
['perceived him from an upper window as he walked towards the house, and', '']
['instantly set out to meet him accidentally in the lane. But little had', '']
['she dared to hope that so much love and eloquence awaited her there.', '']
["In as short a time as Mr. Collins's long speeches would allow,", '']
['everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both; and as', '']
['they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that', '']
['was to make him the happiest of men; and though such a solicitation must', '']
['be waived for the present, the lady felt no inclination to trifle with', '']
['his happiness. The stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must', '']
['guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its', '']
['continuance; and Miss Lucas, who accepted him solely from the pure', '']
['and disinterested desire of an establishment, cared not how soon that', '']
['establishment were gained.', '']
['Sir William and Lady Lucas were speedily applied to for their consent;', '']
["and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity. Mr. Collins's present", '']
['circumstances made it a most eligible match for their daughter, to whom', '']
['they could give little fortune; and his prospects of future wealth were', '']
['exceedingly fair. Lady Lucas began directly to calculate, with more', '']
['interest than the matter had ever excited before, how many years longer', '']
['Mr. Bennet was likely to live; and Sir William gave it as his decided', '']
['opinion, that whenever Mr. Collins should be in possession of the', '']
['Longbourn estate, it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife', '']
["should make their appearance at St. James's. The whole family, in short,", '']
['were properly overjoyed on the occasion. The younger girls formed hopes', '']
['of _coming out_ a year or two sooner than they might otherwise have', '']
["done; and the boys were relieved from their apprehension of Charlotte's", '']
['dying an old maid. Charlotte herself was tolerably composed. She had', '']
['gained her point, and had time to consider of it. Her reflections were', '']
['in general satisfactory. Mr. Collins, to be sure, was neither sensible', '']
['nor agreeable; his society was irksome, and his attachment to her must', '']
['be imaginary. But still he would be her husband. Without thinking highly', '']
['either of men or matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was', '']
['the only provision for well-educated young women of small fortune,', '']
['and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest', '']
['preservative from want. This preservative she had now obtained; and at', '']
['the age of twenty-seven, without having ever been handsome, she felt all', '']
['the good luck of it. The least agreeable circumstance in the business', '']
['was the surprise it must occasion to Elizabeth Bennet, whose friendship', '']
['she valued beyond that of any other person. Elizabeth would wonder,', '']
['and probably would blame her; and though her resolution was not to be', '']
['shaken, her feelings must be hurt by such a disapprobation. She resolved', '']
['to give her the information herself, and therefore charged Mr. Collins,', '']
['when he returned to Longbourn to dinner, to drop no hint of what had', '']
['passed before any of the family. A promise of secrecy was of course very', '']
['dutifully given, but it could not be kept without difficulty; for the', '']
['curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct', '']
['questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade, and he was', '']
['at the same time exercising great self-denial, for he was longing to', '']
['publish his prosperous love.', '']
['As he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the', '']
['family, the ceremony of leave-taking was performed when the ladies moved', '']
['for the night; and Mrs. Bennet, with great politeness and cordiality,', '']
['said how happy they should be to see him at Longbourn again, whenever', '']
['his engagements might allow him to visit them.', '']
['"My dear madam," he replied, "this invitation is particularly', '']
['gratifying, because it is what I have been hoping to receive; and', '']
['you may be very certain that I shall avail myself of it as soon as', '']
['possible."', '']
['They were all astonished; and Mr. Bennet, who could by no means wish for', '']
['so speedy a return, immediately said:', '']
['"But is there not danger of Lady Catherine\'s disapprobation here, my', '']
['good sir? You had better neglect your relations than run the risk of', '']
['offending your patroness."', '']
['"My dear sir," replied Mr. Collins, "I am particularly obliged to you', '']
['for this friendly caution, and you may depend upon my not taking so', '']
['material a step without her ladyship\'s concurrence."', '']
['"You cannot be too much upon your guard. Risk anything rather than her', '']
['displeasure; and if you find it likely to be raised by your coming to us', '']
['again, which I should think exceedingly probable, stay quietly at home,', '']
['and be satisfied that _we_ shall take no offence."', '']
['"Believe me, my dear sir, my gratitude is warmly excited by such', '']
['affectionate attention; and depend upon it, you will speedily receive', '']
['from me a letter of thanks for this, and for every other mark of your', '']
['regard during my stay in Hertfordshire. As for my fair cousins, though', '']
['my absence may not be long enough to render it necessary, I shall now', '']
['take the liberty of wishing them health and happiness, not excepting my', '']
['cousin Elizabeth."', '']
['With proper civilities the ladies then withdrew; all of them equally', '']
['surprised that he meditated a quick return. Mrs. Bennet wished to', '']
['understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her', '']
['younger girls, and Mary might have been prevailed on to accept him.', '']
['She rated his abilities much higher than any of the others; there was', '']
['a solidity in his reflections which often struck her, and though by no', '']
['means so clever as herself, she thought that if encouraged to read', '']
['and improve himself by such an example as hers, he might become a very', '']
['agreeable companion. But on the following morning, every hope of this', '']
['kind was done away. Miss Lucas called soon after breakfast, and in a', '']
['private conference with Elizabeth related the event of the day before.', '']
["The possibility of Mr. Collins's fancying himself in love with her", '']
['friend had once occurred to Elizabeth within the last day or two; but', '']
['that Charlotte could encourage him seemed almost as far from', '']
['possibility as she could encourage him herself, and her astonishment was', '']
['consequently so great as to overcome at first the bounds of decorum, and', '']
['she could not help crying out:', '']
['"Engaged to Mr. Collins! My dear Charlotte--impossible!"', '']
['The steady countenance which Miss Lucas had commanded in telling her', '']
['story, gave way to a momentary confusion here on receiving so direct a', '']
['reproach; though, as it was no more than she expected, she soon regained', '']
['her composure, and calmly replied:', '']
['"Why should you be surprised, my dear Eliza? Do you think it incredible', '']
["that Mr. Collins should be able to procure any woman's good opinion,", '']
['because he was not so happy as to succeed with you?"', '']
['But Elizabeth had now recollected herself, and making a strong effort', '']
['for it, was able to assure with tolerable firmness that the prospect of', '']
['their relationship was highly grateful to her, and that she wished her', '']
['all imaginable happiness.', '']
['"I see what you are feeling," replied Charlotte. "You must be surprised,', '']
['very much surprised--so lately as Mr. Collins was wishing to marry', '']
['you. But when you have had time to think it over, I hope you will be', '']
['satisfied with what I have done. I am not romantic, you know; I never', '']
["was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins's", '']
['character, connection, and situation in life, I am convinced that my', '']
['chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on', '']
['entering the marriage state."', '']
['Elizabeth quietly answered "Undoubtedly;" and after an awkward pause,', '']
['they returned to the rest of the family. Charlotte did not stay much', '']
['longer, and Elizabeth was then left to reflect on what she had heard.', '']
['It was a long time before she became at all reconciled to the idea of so', '']
["unsuitable a match. The strangeness of Mr. Collins's making two offers", '']
['of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now', '']
["accepted. She had always felt that Charlotte's opinion of matrimony was", '']
['not exactly like her own, but she had not supposed it to be possible', '']
['that, when called into action, she would have sacrificed every better', '']
['feeling to worldly advantage. Charlotte the wife of Mr. Collins was a', '']
['most humiliating picture! And to the pang of a friend disgracing herself', '']
['and sunk in her esteem, was added the distressing conviction that it', '']
['was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had', '']
['chosen.', '']
['Chapter 23', '']
['Elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters, reflecting on what', '']
['she had heard, and doubting whether she was authorised to mention', '']
['it, when Sir William Lucas himself appeared, sent by his daughter, to', '']
['announce her engagement to the family. With many compliments to them,', '']
['and much self-gratulation on the prospect of a connection between the', '']
['houses, he unfolded the matter--to an audience not merely wondering, but', '']
['incredulous; for Mrs. Bennet, with more perseverance than politeness,', '']
['protested he must be entirely mistaken; and Lydia, always unguarded and', '']
['often uncivil, boisterously exclaimed:', '']
['"Good Lord! Sir William, how can you tell such a story? Do not you know', '']
['that Mr. Collins wants to marry Lizzy?"', '']
['Nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne', '']
["without anger such treatment; but Sir William's good breeding carried", '']
['him through it all; and though he begged leave to be positive as to the', '']
['truth of his information, he listened to all their impertinence with the', '']
['most forbearing courtesy.', '']
['Elizabeth, feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant', '']
['a situation, now put herself forward to confirm his account, by', '']
['mentioning her prior knowledge of it from Charlotte herself; and', '']
['endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of her mother and sisters', '']
['by the earnestness of her congratulations to Sir William, in which she', '']
['was readily joined by Jane, and by making a variety of remarks on the', '']
['happiness that might be expected from the match, the excellent character', '']
['of Mr. Collins, and the convenient distance of Hunsford from London.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while', '']
['Sir William remained; but no sooner had he left them than her feelings', '']
['found a rapid vent. In the first place, she persisted in disbelieving', '']
['the whole of the matter; secondly, she was very sure that Mr. Collins', '']
['had been taken in; thirdly, she trusted that they would never be', '']
['happy together; and fourthly, that the match might be broken off. Two', '']
['inferences, however, were plainly deduced from the whole: one, that', '']
['Elizabeth was the real cause of the mischief; and the other that she', '']
['herself had been barbarously misused by them all; and on these two', '']
['points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day. Nothing could', '']
['console and nothing could appease her. Nor did that day wear out her', '']
['resentment. A week elapsed before she could see Elizabeth without', '']
['scolding her, a month passed away before she could speak to Sir William', '']
['or Lady Lucas without being rude, and many months were gone before she', '']
['could at all forgive their daughter.', '']
["Mr. Bennet's emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion, and such", '']
['as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort; for', '']
['it gratified him, he said, to discover that Charlotte Lucas, whom he had', '']
['been used to think tolerably sensible, was as foolish as his wife, and', '']
['more foolish than his daughter!', '']
['Jane confessed herself a little surprised at the match; but she said', '']
['less of her astonishment than of her earnest desire for their happiness;', '']
['nor could Elizabeth persuade her to consider it as improbable. Kitty', '']
['and Lydia were far from envying Miss Lucas, for Mr. Collins was only a', '']
['clergyman; and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news', '']
['to spread at Meryton.', '']
['Lady Lucas could not be insensible of triumph on being able to retort', '']
['on Mrs. Bennet the comfort of having a daughter well married; and she', '']
['called at Longbourn rather oftener than usual to say how happy she was,', '']
["though Mrs. Bennet's sour looks and ill-natured remarks might have been", '']
['enough to drive happiness away.', '']
['Between Elizabeth and Charlotte there was a restraint which kept them', '']
['mutually silent on the subject; and Elizabeth felt persuaded that', '']
['no real confidence could ever subsist between them again. Her', '']
['disappointment in Charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her', '']
['sister, of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could', '']
['never be shaken, and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious,', '']
['as Bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his', '']
['return.', '']
['Jane had sent Caroline an early answer to her letter, and was counting', '']
['the days till she might reasonably hope to hear again. The promised', '']
['letter of thanks from Mr. Collins arrived on Tuesday, addressed to', '']
['their father, and written with all the solemnity of gratitude which a', '']
["twelvemonth's abode in the family might have prompted. After discharging", '']
['his conscience on that head, he proceeded to inform them, with many', '']
['rapturous expressions, of his happiness in having obtained the affection', '']
['of their amiable neighbour, Miss Lucas, and then explained that it was', '']
['merely with the view of enjoying her society that he had been so ready', '']
['to close with their kind wish of seeing him again at Longbourn, whither', '']
['he hoped to be able to return on Monday fortnight; for Lady Catherine,', '']
['he added, so heartily approved his marriage, that she wished it to take', '']
['place as soon as possible, which he trusted would be an unanswerable', '']
['argument with his amiable Charlotte to name an early day for making him', '']
['the happiest of men.', '']
["Mr. Collins's return into Hertfordshire was no longer a matter of", '']
['pleasure to Mrs. Bennet. On the contrary, she was as much disposed to', '']
['complain of it as her husband. It was very strange that he should come', '']
['to Longbourn instead of to Lucas Lodge; it was also very inconvenient', '']
['and exceedingly troublesome. She hated having visitors in the house', '']
['while her health was so indifferent, and lovers were of all people the', '']
['most disagreeable. Such were the gentle murmurs of Mrs. Bennet, and', '']
["they gave way only to the greater distress of Mr. Bingley's continued", '']
['absence.', '']
['Neither Jane nor Elizabeth were comfortable on this subject. Day after', '']
['day passed away without bringing any other tidings of him than the', '']
['report which shortly prevailed in Meryton of his coming no more to', '']
['Netherfield the whole winter; a report which highly incensed Mrs.', '']
['Bennet, and which she never failed to contradict as a most scandalous', '']
['falsehood.', '']
['Even Elizabeth began to fear--not that Bingley was indifferent--but that', '']
['his sisters would be successful in keeping him away. Unwilling as', '']
["she was to admit an idea so destructive of Jane's happiness, and so", '']
['dishonorable to the stability of her lover, she could not prevent its', '']
['frequently occurring. The united efforts of his two unfeeling sisters', '']
['and of his overpowering friend, assisted by the attractions of Miss', '']
['Darcy and the amusements of London might be too much, she feared, for', '']
['the strength of his attachment.', '']
['As for Jane, _her_ anxiety under this suspense was, of course, more', '']
["painful than Elizabeth's, but whatever she felt she was desirous of", '']
['concealing, and between herself and Elizabeth, therefore, the subject', '']
['was never alluded to. But as no such delicacy restrained her mother,', '']
['an hour seldom passed in which she did not talk of Bingley, express her', '']
['impatience for his arrival, or even require Jane to confess that if he', '']
['did not come back she would think herself very ill used. It needed', '']
["all Jane's steady mildness to bear these attacks with tolerable", '']
['tranquillity.', '']
['Mr. Collins returned most punctually on Monday fortnight, but his', '']
['reception at Longbourn was not quite so gracious as it had been on his', '']
['first introduction. He was too happy, however, to need much attention;', '']
['and luckily for the others, the business of love-making relieved them', '']
['from a great deal of his company. The chief of every day was spent by', '']
['him at Lucas Lodge, and he sometimes returned to Longbourn only in time', '']
['to make an apology for his absence before the family went to bed.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet was really in a most pitiable state. The very mention of', '']
['anything concerning the match threw her into an agony of ill-humour,', '']
['and wherever she went she was sure of hearing it talked of. The sight', '']
['of Miss Lucas was odious to her. As her successor in that house, she', '']
['regarded her with jealous abhorrence. Whenever Charlotte came to see', '']
['them, she concluded her to be anticipating the hour of possession; and', '']
['whenever she spoke in a low voice to Mr. Collins, was convinced that', '']
['they were talking of the Longbourn estate, and resolving to turn herself', '']
['and her daughters out of the house, as soon as Mr. Bennet were dead. She', '']
['complained bitterly of all this to her husband.', '']
['"Indeed, Mr. Bennet," said she, "it is very hard to think that Charlotte', '']
['Lucas should ever be mistress of this house, that I should be forced to', '']
['make way for _her_, and live to see her take her place in it!"', '']
['"My dear, do not give way to such gloomy thoughts. Let us hope for', '']
['better things. Let us flatter ourselves that I may be the survivor."', '']
['This was not very consoling to Mrs. Bennet, and therefore, instead of', '']
['making any answer, she went on as before.', '']
['"I cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate. If it was', '']
['not for the entail, I should not mind it."', '']
['"What should not you mind?"', '']
['"I should not mind anything at all."', '']
['"Let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such', '']
['insensibility."', '']
['"I never can be thankful, Mr. Bennet, for anything about the entail. How', '']
["anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from one's own", '']
['daughters, I cannot understand; and all for the sake of Mr. Collins too!', '']
['Why should _he_ have it more than anybody else?"', '']
['"I leave it to yourself to determine," said Mr. Bennet.', '']
['Chapter 24', '']
["Miss Bingley's letter arrived, and put an end to doubt. The very first", '']
['sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in London for', '']
["the winter, and concluded with her brother's regret at not having had", '']
['time to pay his respects to his friends in Hertfordshire before he left', '']
['the country.', '']
['Hope was over, entirely over; and when Jane could attend to the rest', '']
['of the letter, she found little, except the professed affection of the', '']
["writer, that could give her any comfort. Miss Darcy's praise occupied", '']
['the chief of it. Her many attractions were again dwelt on, and Caroline', '']
['boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy, and ventured to predict', '']
['the accomplishment of the wishes which had been unfolded in her former', '']
["letter. She wrote also with great pleasure of her brother's being an", '']
["inmate of Mr. Darcy's house, and mentioned with raptures some plans of", '']
['the latter with regard to new furniture.', '']
['Elizabeth, to whom Jane very soon communicated the chief of all this,', '']
['heard it in silent indignation. Her heart was divided between concern', '']
["for her sister, and resentment against all others. To Caroline's", '']
["assertion of her brother's being partial to Miss Darcy she paid no", '']
['credit. That he was really fond of Jane, she doubted no more than she', '']
['had ever done; and much as she had always been disposed to like him, she', '']
['could not think without anger, hardly without contempt, on that easiness', '']
['of temper, that want of proper resolution, which now made him the slave', '']
['of his designing friends, and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness', '']
['to the caprice of their inclination. Had his own happiness, however,', '']
['been the only sacrifice, he might have been allowed to sport with it in', '']
["whatever manner he thought best, but her sister's was involved in it, as", '']
['she thought he must be sensible himself. It was a subject, in short,', '']
['on which reflection would be long indulged, and must be unavailing. She', '']
["could think of nothing else; and yet whether Bingley's regard had really", '']
["died away, or were suppressed by his friends' interference; whether", '']
["he had been aware of Jane's attachment, or whether it had escaped his", '']
['observation; whatever were the case, though her opinion of him must be', '']
["materially affected by the difference, her sister's situation remained", '']
['the same, her peace equally wounded.', '']
['A day or two passed before Jane had courage to speak of her feelings to', '']
["Elizabeth; but at last, on Mrs. Bennet's leaving them together, after a", '']
['longer irritation than usual about Netherfield and its master, she could', '']
['not help saying:', '']
['"Oh, that my dear mother had more command over herself! She can have no', '']
['idea of the pain she gives me by her continual reflections on him. But', '']
['I will not repine. It cannot last long. He will be forgot, and we shall', '']
['all be as we were before."', '']
['Elizabeth looked at her sister with incredulous solicitude, but said', '']
['nothing.', '']
['"You doubt me," cried Jane, slightly colouring; "indeed, you have', '']
['no reason. He may live in my memory as the most amiable man of my', '']
['acquaintance, but that is all. I have nothing either to hope or fear,', '']
['and nothing to reproach him with. Thank God! I have not _that_ pain. A', '']
['little time, therefore--I shall certainly try to get the better."', '']
['With a stronger voice she soon added, "I have this comfort immediately,', '']
['that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side, and that it', '']
['has done no harm to anyone but myself."', '']
['"My dear Jane!" exclaimed Elizabeth, "you are too good. Your sweetness', '']
['and disinterestedness are really angelic; I do not know what to say', '']
['to you. I feel as if I had never done you justice, or loved you as you', '']
['deserve."', '']
['Miss Bennet eagerly disclaimed all extraordinary merit, and threw back', '']
["the praise on her sister's warm affection.", '']
['"Nay," said Elizabeth, "this is not fair. _You_ wish to think all the', '']
['world respectable, and are hurt if I speak ill of anybody. I only want', '']
['to think _you_ perfect, and you set yourself against it. Do not', '']
['be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your', '']
['privilege of universal good-will. You need not. There are few people', '']
['whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see', '']
['of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms', '']
['my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the', '']
['little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or', '']
['sense. I have met with two instances lately, one I will not mention; the', '']
["other is Charlotte's marriage. It is unaccountable! In every view it is", '']
['unaccountable!"', '']
['"My dear Lizzy, do not give way to such feelings as these. They will', '']
['ruin your happiness. You do not make allowance enough for difference', '']
["of situation and temper. Consider Mr. Collins's respectability, and", '']
["Charlotte's steady, prudent character. Remember that she is one of a", '']
['large family; that as to fortune, it is a most eligible match; and be', '']
["ready to believe, for everybody's sake, that she may feel something like", '']
['regard and esteem for our cousin."', '']
['"To oblige you, I would try to believe almost anything, but no one else', '']
['could be benefited by such a belief as this; for were I persuaded that', '']
['Charlotte had any regard for him, I should only think worse of her', '']
['understanding than I now do of her heart. My dear Jane, Mr. Collins is a', '']
['conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as', '']
['I do; and you must feel, as well as I do, that the woman who married him', '']
['cannot have a proper way of thinking. You shall not defend her, though', '']
['it is Charlotte Lucas. You shall not, for the sake of one individual,', '']
['change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade', '']
['yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of', '']
['danger security for happiness."', '']
['"I must think your language too strong in speaking of both," replied', '']
['Jane; "and I hope you will be convinced of it by seeing them happy', '']
['together. But enough of this. You alluded to something else. You', '']
['mentioned _two_ instances. I cannot misunderstand you, but I entreat', '']
['you, dear Lizzy, not to pain me by thinking _that person_ to blame, and', '']
['saying your opinion of him is sunk. We must not be so ready to fancy', '']
['ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man', '']
['to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but', '']
['our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than', '']
['it does."', '']
['"And men take care that they should."', '']
['"If it is designedly done, they cannot be justified; but I have no idea', '']
['of there being so much design in the world as some persons imagine."', '']
['"I am far from attributing any part of Mr. Bingley\'s conduct to design,"', '']
['said Elizabeth; "but without scheming to do wrong, or to make others', '']
['unhappy, there may be error, and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness,', '']
["want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution,", '']
['will do the business."', '']
['"And do you impute it to either of those?"', '']
['"Yes; to the last. But if I go on, I shall displease you by saying what', '']
['I think of persons you esteem. Stop me whilst you can."', '']
['"You persist, then, in supposing his sisters influence him?"', '']
['"Yes, in conjunction with his friend."', '']
['"I cannot believe it. Why should they try to influence him? They can', '']
['only wish his happiness; and if he is attached to me, no other woman can', '']
['secure it."', '']
['"Your first position is false. They may wish many things besides his', '']
['happiness; they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence; they', '']
['may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money, great', '']
['connections, and pride."', '']
['"Beyond a doubt, they _do_ wish him to choose Miss Darcy," replied Jane;', '']
['"but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing. They have', '']
['known her much longer than they have known me; no wonder if they love', '']
['her better. But, whatever may be their own wishes, it is very unlikely', '']
["they should have opposed their brother's. What sister would think", '']
['herself at liberty to do it, unless there were something very', '']
['objectionable? If they believed him attached to me, they would not try', '']
['to part us; if he were so, they could not succeed. By supposing such an', '']
['affection, you make everybody acting unnaturally and wrong, and me most', '']
['unhappy. Do not distress me by the idea. I am not ashamed of having been', '']
['mistaken--or, at least, it is light, it is nothing in comparison of what', '']
['I should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters. Let me take it in', '']
['the best light, in the light in which it may be understood."', '']
["Elizabeth could not oppose such a wish; and from this time Mr. Bingley's", '']
['name was scarcely ever mentioned between them.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no', '']
['more, and though a day seldom passed in which Elizabeth did not account', '']
['for it clearly, there was little chance of her ever considering it with', '']
['less perplexity. Her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she', '']
['did not believe herself, that his attentions to Jane had been merely the', '']
['effect of a common and transient liking, which ceased when he saw her', '']
['no more; but though the probability of the statement was admitted at', '']
["the time, she had the same story to repeat every day. Mrs. Bennet's best", '']
['comfort was that Mr. Bingley must be down again in the summer.', '']
['Mr. Bennet treated the matter differently. "So, Lizzy," said he one day,', '']
['"your sister is crossed in love, I find. I congratulate her. Next to', '']
['being married, a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then.', '']
['It is something to think of, and it gives her a sort of distinction', '']
['among her companions. When is your turn to come? You will hardly bear to', '']
['be long outdone by Jane. Now is your time. Here are officers enough in', '']
['Meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country. Let Wickham', '']
['be _your_ man. He is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably."', '']
['"Thank you, sir, but a less agreeable man would satisfy me. We must not', '']
['all expect Jane\'s good fortune."', '']
['"True," said Mr. Bennet, "but it is a comfort to think that whatever of', '']
['that kind may befall you, you have an affectionate mother who will make', '']
['the most of it."', '']
["Mr. Wickham's society was of material service in dispelling the gloom", '']
['which the late perverse occurrences had thrown on many of the Longbourn', '']
['family. They saw him often, and to his other recommendations was now', '']
['added that of general unreserve. The whole of what Elizabeth had already', '']
['heard, his claims on Mr. Darcy, and all that he had suffered from him,', '']
['was now openly acknowledged and publicly canvassed; and everybody was', '']
['pleased to know how much they had always disliked Mr. Darcy before they', '']
['had known anything of the matter.', '']
['Miss Bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be', '']
['any extenuating circumstances in the case, unknown to the society', '']
['of Hertfordshire; her mild and steady candour always pleaded for', '']
['allowances, and urged the possibility of mistakes--but by everybody else', '']
['Mr. Darcy was condemned as the worst of men.', '']
['Chapter 25', '']
['After a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity,', '']
['Mr. Collins was called from his amiable Charlotte by the arrival of', '']
['Saturday. The pain of separation, however, might be alleviated on his', '']
['side, by preparations for the reception of his bride; as he had reason', '']
['to hope, that shortly after his return into Hertfordshire, the day would', '']
['be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men. He took leave of his', '']
['relations at Longbourn with as much solemnity as before; wished his fair', '']
['cousins health and happiness again, and promised their father another', '']
['letter of thanks.', '']
['On the following Monday, Mrs. Bennet had the pleasure of receiving', '']
['her brother and his wife, who came as usual to spend the Christmas', '']
['at Longbourn. Mr. Gardiner was a sensible, gentlemanlike man, greatly', '']
['superior to his sister, as well by nature as education. The Netherfield', '']
['ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived', '']
['by trade, and within view of his own warehouses, could have been so', '']
['well-bred and agreeable. Mrs. Gardiner, who was several years younger', '']
['than Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Phillips, was an amiable, intelligent, elegant', '']
['woman, and a great favourite with all her Longbourn nieces. Between the', '']
['two eldest and herself especially, there subsisted a particular regard.', '']
['They had frequently been staying with her in town.', '']
["The first part of Mrs. Gardiner's business on her arrival was to", '']
['distribute her presents and describe the newest fashions. When this was', '']
['done she had a less active part to play. It became her turn to listen.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet had many grievances to relate, and much to complain of. They', '']
['had all been very ill-used since she last saw her sister. Two of her', '']
['girls had been upon the point of marriage, and after all there was', '']
['nothing in it.', '']
['"I do not blame Jane," she continued, "for Jane would have got Mr.', '']
['Bingley if she could. But Lizzy! Oh, sister! It is very hard to think', '']
["that she might have been Mr. Collins's wife by this time, had it not", '']
['been for her own perverseness. He made her an offer in this very room,', '']
['and she refused him. The consequence of it is, that Lady Lucas will have', '']
['a daughter married before I have, and that the Longbourn estate is just', '']
['as much entailed as ever. The Lucases are very artful people indeed,', '']
['sister. They are all for what they can get. I am sorry to say it of', '']
['them, but so it is. It makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted', '']
['so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves', '']
['before anybody else. However, your coming just at this time is the', '']
['greatest of comforts, and I am very glad to hear what you tell us, of', '']
['long sleeves."', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner, to whom the chief of this news had been given before,', '']
["in the course of Jane and Elizabeth's correspondence with her, made her", '']
['sister a slight answer, and, in compassion to her nieces, turned the', '']
['conversation.', '']
['When alone with Elizabeth afterwards, she spoke more on the subject. "It', '']
['seems likely to have been a desirable match for Jane," said she. "I am', '']
['sorry it went off. But these things happen so often! A young man, such', '']
['as you describe Mr. Bingley, so easily falls in love with a pretty girl', '']
['for a few weeks, and when accident separates them, so easily forgets', '']
['her, that these sort of inconsistencies are very frequent."', '']
['"An excellent consolation in its way," said Elizabeth, "but it will not', '']
['do for _us_. We do not suffer by _accident_. It does not often', '']
['happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of', '']
['independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in', '']
['love with only a few days before."', '']
['"But that expression of \'violently in love\' is so hackneyed, so', '']
['doubtful, so indefinite, that it gives me very little idea. It is as', '']
["often applied to feelings which arise from a half-hour's acquaintance,", '']
["as to a real, strong attachment. Pray, how _violent was_ Mr. Bingley's", '']
['love?"', '']
['"I never saw a more promising inclination; he was growing quite', '']
['inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. Every time', '']
['they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he', '']
['offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and I', '']
['spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer. Could there be', '']
['finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"', '']
['"Oh, yes!--of that kind of love which I suppose him to have felt. Poor', '']
['Jane! I am sorry for her, because, with her disposition, she may not get', '']
['over it immediately. It had better have happened to _you_, Lizzy; you', '']
['would have laughed yourself out of it sooner. But do you think she', '']
['would be prevailed upon to go back with us? Change of scene might be', '']
['of service--and perhaps a little relief from home may be as useful as', '']
['anything."', '']
['Elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal, and felt persuaded', '']
["of her sister's ready acquiescence.", '']
['"I hope," added Mrs. Gardiner, "that no consideration with regard to', '']
['this young man will influence her. We live in so different a part of', '']
['town, all our connections are so different, and, as you well know, we go', '']
['out so little, that it is very improbable that they should meet at all,', '']
['unless he really comes to see her."', '']
['"And _that_ is quite impossible; for he is now in the custody of his', '']
['friend, and Mr. Darcy would no more suffer him to call on Jane in such', '']
['a part of London! My dear aunt, how could you think of it? Mr. Darcy may', '']
['perhaps have _heard_ of such a place as Gracechurch Street, but he', '']
["would hardly think a month's ablution enough to cleanse him from its", '']
['impurities, were he once to enter it; and depend upon it, Mr. Bingley', '']
['never stirs without him."', '']
['"So much the better. I hope they will not meet at all. But does not Jane', '']
['correspond with his sister? _She_ will not be able to help calling."', '']
['"She will drop the acquaintance entirely."', '']
['But in spite of the certainty in which Elizabeth affected to place this', '']
["point, as well as the still more interesting one of Bingley's being", '']
['withheld from seeing Jane, she felt a solicitude on the subject which', '']
['convinced her, on examination, that she did not consider it entirely', '']
['hopeless. It was possible, and sometimes she thought it probable, that', '']
['his affection might be reanimated, and the influence of his friends', '']
["successfully combated by the more natural influence of Jane's", '']
['attractions.', '']
["Miss Bennet accepted her aunt's invitation with pleasure; and the", '']
['Bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the same time, than as she', '']
["hoped by Caroline's not living in the same house with her brother,", '']
['she might occasionally spend a morning with her, without any danger of', '']
['seeing him.', '']
['The Gardiners stayed a week at Longbourn; and what with the Phillipses,', '']
['the Lucases, and the officers, there was not a day without its', '']
['engagement. Mrs. Bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment', '']
['of her brother and sister, that they did not once sit down to a family', '']
['dinner. When the engagement was for home, some of the officers always', '']
['made part of it--of which officers Mr. Wickham was sure to be one; and', '']
["on these occasions, Mrs. Gardiner, rendered suspicious by Elizabeth's", '']
['warm commendation, narrowly observed them both. Without supposing them,', '']
['from what she saw, to be very seriously in love, their preference', '']
['of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy; and', '']
['she resolved to speak to Elizabeth on the subject before she left', '']
['Hertfordshire, and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such', '']
['an attachment.', '']
['To Mrs. Gardiner, Wickham had one means of affording pleasure,', '']
['unconnected with his general powers. About ten or a dozen years ago,', '']
['before her marriage, she had spent a considerable time in that very', '']
['part of Derbyshire to which he belonged. They had, therefore, many', '']
['acquaintances in common; and though Wickham had been little there since', '']
["the death of Darcy's father, it was yet in his power to give her fresher", '']
['intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of', '']
['procuring.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner had seen Pemberley, and known the late Mr. Darcy by', '']
['character perfectly well. Here consequently was an inexhaustible subject', '']
['of discourse. In comparing her recollection of Pemberley with the minute', '']
['description which Wickham could give, and in bestowing her tribute of', '']
['praise on the character of its late possessor, she was delighting both', '']
["him and herself. On being made acquainted with the present Mr. Darcy's", '']
["treatment of him, she tried to remember some of that gentleman's", '']
['reputed disposition when quite a lad which might agree with it, and', '']
['was confident at last that she recollected having heard Mr. Fitzwilliam', '']
['Darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud, ill-natured boy.', '']
['Chapter 26', '']
["Mrs. Gardiner's caution to Elizabeth was punctually and kindly given", '']
['on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone; after', '']
['honestly telling her what she thought, she thus went on:', '']
['"You are too sensible a girl, Lizzy, to fall in love merely because', '']
['you are warned against it; and, therefore, I am not afraid of speaking', '']
['openly. Seriously, I would have you be on your guard. Do not involve', '']
['yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want', '']
['of fortune would make so very imprudent. I have nothing to say against', '']
['_him_; he is a most interesting young man; and if he had the fortune he', '']
['ought to have, I should think you could not do better. But as it is, you', '']
['must not let your fancy run away with you. You have sense, and we all', '']
['expect you to use it. Your father would depend on _your_ resolution and', '']
['good conduct, I am sure. You must not disappoint your father."', '']
['"My dear aunt, this is being serious indeed."', '']
['"Yes, and I hope to engage you to be serious likewise."', '']
['"Well, then, you need not be under any alarm. I will take care of', '']
['myself, and of Mr. Wickham too. He shall not be in love with me, if I', '']
['can prevent it."', '']
['"Elizabeth, you are not serious now."', '']
['"I beg your pardon, I will try again. At present I am not in love with', '']
['Mr. Wickham; no, I certainly am not. But he is, beyond all comparison,', '']
['the most agreeable man I ever saw--and if he becomes really attached to', '']
['me--I believe it will be better that he should not. I see the imprudence', '']
["of it. Oh! _that_ abominable Mr. Darcy! My father's opinion of me does", '']
['me the greatest honour, and I should be miserable to forfeit it. My', '']
['father, however, is partial to Mr. Wickham. In short, my dear aunt, I', '']
['should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy; but', '']
['since we see every day that where there is affection, young people', '']
['are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into', '']
['engagements with each other, how can I promise to be wiser than so many', '']
['of my fellow-creatures if I am tempted, or how am I even to know that it', '']
['would be wisdom to resist? All that I can promise you, therefore, is not', '']
['to be in a hurry. I will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first', '']
['object. When I am in company with him, I will not be wishing. In short,', '']
['I will do my best."', '']
['"Perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very', '']
['often. At least, you should not _remind_ your mother of inviting him."', '']
['"As I did the other day," said Elizabeth with a conscious smile: "very', '']
['true, it will be wise in me to refrain from _that_. But do not imagine', '']
['that he is always here so often. It is on your account that he has been', '']
["so frequently invited this week. You know my mother's ideas as to the", '']
['necessity of constant company for her friends. But really, and upon my', '']
['honour, I will try to do what I think to be the wisest; and now I hope', '']
['you are satisfied."', '']
['Her aunt assured her that she was, and Elizabeth having thanked her for', '']
['the kindness of her hints, they parted; a wonderful instance of advice', '']
['being given on such a point, without being resented.', '']
['Mr. Collins returned into Hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted', '']
['by the Gardiners and Jane; but as he took up his abode with the Lucases,', '']
['his arrival was no great inconvenience to Mrs. Bennet. His marriage was', '']
['now fast approaching, and she was at length so far resigned as to think', '']
['it inevitable, and even repeatedly to say, in an ill-natured tone, that', '']
['she "_wished_ they might be happy." Thursday was to be the wedding day,', '']
['and on Wednesday Miss Lucas paid her farewell visit; and when she', '']
["rose to take leave, Elizabeth, ashamed of her mother's ungracious and", '']
['reluctant good wishes, and sincerely affected herself, accompanied her', '']
['out of the room. As they went downstairs together, Charlotte said:', '']
['"I shall depend on hearing from you very often, Eliza."', '']
['"_That_ you certainly shall."', '']
['"And I have another favour to ask you. Will you come and see me?"', '']
['"We shall often meet, I hope, in Hertfordshire."', '']
['"I am not likely to leave Kent for some time. Promise me, therefore, to', '']
['come to Hunsford."', '']
['Elizabeth could not refuse, though she foresaw little pleasure in the', '']
['visit.', '']
['"My father and Maria are coming to me in March," added Charlotte, "and I', '']
['hope you will consent to be of the party. Indeed, Eliza, you will be as', '']
['welcome as either of them."', '']
['The wedding took place; the bride and bridegroom set off for Kent from', '']
['the church door, and everybody had as much to say, or to hear, on', '']
['the subject as usual. Elizabeth soon heard from her friend; and their', '']
['correspondence was as regular and frequent as it had ever been; that', '']
['it should be equally unreserved was impossible. Elizabeth could never', '']
['address her without feeling that all the comfort of intimacy was over,', '']
['and though determined not to slacken as a correspondent, it was for the', '']
["sake of what had been, rather than what was. Charlotte's first letters", '']
['were received with a good deal of eagerness; there could not but be', '']
['curiosity to know how she would speak of her new home, how she would', '']
['like Lady Catherine, and how happy she would dare pronounce herself to', '']
['be; though, when the letters were read, Elizabeth felt that Charlotte', '']
['expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen. She', '']
['wrote cheerfully, seemed surrounded with comforts, and mentioned nothing', '']
['which she could not praise. The house, furniture, neighbourhood, and', '']
["roads, were all to her taste, and Lady Catherine's behaviour was most", '']
["friendly and obliging. It was Mr. Collins's picture of Hunsford and", '']
['Rosings rationally softened; and Elizabeth perceived that she must wait', '']
['for her own visit there to know the rest.', '']
['Jane had already written a few lines to her sister to announce their', '']
['safe arrival in London; and when she wrote again, Elizabeth hoped it', '']
['would be in her power to say something of the Bingleys.', '']
['Her impatience for this second letter was as well rewarded as impatience', '']
['generally is. Jane had been a week in town without either seeing or', '']
['hearing from Caroline. She accounted for it, however, by supposing that', '']
['her last letter to her friend from Longbourn had by some accident been', '']
['lost.', '']
['"My aunt," she continued, "is going to-morrow into that part of the', '']
['town, and I shall take the opportunity of calling in Grosvenor Street."', '']
['She wrote again when the visit was paid, and she had seen Miss Bingley.', '']
['"I did not think Caroline in spirits," were her words, "but she was very', '']
['glad to see me, and reproached me for giving her no notice of my coming', '']
['to London. I was right, therefore, my last letter had never reached', '']
['her. I inquired after their brother, of course. He was well, but so much', '']
['engaged with Mr. Darcy that they scarcely ever saw him. I found that', '']
['Miss Darcy was expected to dinner. I wish I could see her. My visit was', '']
['not long, as Caroline and Mrs. Hurst were going out. I dare say I shall', '']
['see them soon here."', '']
['Elizabeth shook her head over this letter. It convinced her that', '']
["accident only could discover to Mr. Bingley her sister's being in town.", '']
['Four weeks passed away, and Jane saw nothing of him. She endeavoured to', '']
['persuade herself that she did not regret it; but she could no longer be', '']
["blind to Miss Bingley's inattention. After waiting at home every morning", '']
['for a fortnight, and inventing every evening a fresh excuse for her, the', '']
['visitor did at last appear; but the shortness of her stay, and yet more,', '']
['the alteration of her manner would allow Jane to deceive herself no', '']
['longer. The letter which she wrote on this occasion to her sister will', '']
['prove what she felt.', '']
['"My dearest Lizzy will, I am sure, be incapable of triumphing in her', '']
['better judgement, at my expense, when I confess myself to have been', '']
["entirely deceived in Miss Bingley's regard for me. But, my dear sister,", '']
['though the event has proved you right, do not think me obstinate if I', '']
['still assert that, considering what her behaviour was, my confidence was', '']
['as natural as your suspicion. I do not at all comprehend her reason for', '']
['wishing to be intimate with me; but if the same circumstances were to', '']
['happen again, I am sure I should be deceived again. Caroline did not', '']
['return my visit till yesterday; and not a note, not a line, did I', '']
['receive in the meantime. When she did come, it was very evident that', '']
['she had no pleasure in it; she made a slight, formal apology, for not', '']
['calling before, said not a word of wishing to see me again, and was', '']
['in every respect so altered a creature, that when she went away I was', '']
['perfectly resolved to continue the acquaintance no longer. I pity,', '']
['though I cannot help blaming her. She was very wrong in singling me out', '']
['as she did; I can safely say that every advance to intimacy began on', '']
['her side. But I pity her, because she must feel that she has been acting', '']
['wrong, and because I am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the', '']
['cause of it. I need not explain myself farther; and though _we_ know', '']
['this anxiety to be quite needless, yet if she feels it, it will easily', '']
['account for her behaviour to me; and so deservedly dear as he is to', '']
['his sister, whatever anxiety she must feel on his behalf is natural and', '']
['amiable. I cannot but wonder, however, at her having any such fears now,', '']
['because, if he had at all cared about me, we must have met, long ago.', '']
['He knows of my being in town, I am certain, from something she said', '']
['herself; and yet it would seem, by her manner of talking, as if she', '']
['wanted to persuade herself that he is really partial to Miss Darcy. I', '']
['cannot understand it. If I were not afraid of judging harshly, I should', '']
['be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity', '']
['in all this. But I will endeavour to banish every painful thought,', '']
['and think only of what will make me happy--your affection, and the', '']
['invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt. Let me hear from you very', '']
['soon. Miss Bingley said something of his never returning to Netherfield', '']
['again, of giving up the house, but not with any certainty. We had better', '']
['not mention it. I am extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts', '']
['from our friends at Hunsford. Pray go to see them, with Sir William and', '']
['Maria. I am sure you will be very comfortable there.--Yours, etc."', '']
['This letter gave Elizabeth some pain; but her spirits returned as she', '']
['considered that Jane would no longer be duped, by the sister at least.', '']
['All expectation from the brother was now absolutely over. She would not', '']
['even wish for a renewal of his attentions. His character sunk on', '']
['every review of it; and as a punishment for him, as well as a possible', '']
['advantage to Jane, she seriously hoped he might really soon marry Mr.', '']
["Darcy's sister, as by Wickham's account, she would make him abundantly", '']
['regret what he had thrown away.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner about this time reminded Elizabeth of her promise', '']
['concerning that gentleman, and required information; and Elizabeth', '']
['had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to', '']
['herself. His apparent partiality had subsided, his attentions were over,', '']
['he was the admirer of some one else. Elizabeth was watchful enough to', '']
['see it all, but she could see it and write of it without material pain.', '']
['Her heart had been but slightly touched, and her vanity was satisfied', '']
['with believing that _she_ would have been his only choice, had fortune', '']
['permitted it. The sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most', '']
['remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself', '']
['agreeable; but Elizabeth, less clear-sighted perhaps in this case than', '']
["in Charlotte's, did not quarrel with him for his wish of independence.", '']
['Nothing, on the contrary, could be more natural; and while able to', '']
['suppose that it cost him a few struggles to relinquish her, she was', '']
['ready to allow it a wise and desirable measure for both, and could very', '']
['sincerely wish him happy.', '']
['All this was acknowledged to Mrs. Gardiner; and after relating the', '']
['circumstances, she thus went on: "I am now convinced, my dear aunt, that', '']
['I have never been much in love; for had I really experienced that pure', '']
['and elevating passion, I should at present detest his very name, and', '']
['wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial', '']
['towards _him_; they are even impartial towards Miss King. I cannot find', '']
['out that I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling to', '']
['think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all this. My', '']
['watchfulness has been effectual; and though I certainly should be a more', '']
['interesting object to all my acquaintances were I distractedly in love', '']
['with him, I cannot say that I regret my comparative insignificance.', '']
['Importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly. Kitty and Lydia take', '']
['his defection much more to heart than I do. They are young in the', '']
['ways of the world, and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that', '']
['handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain."', '']
['Chapter 27', '']
['With no greater events than these in the Longbourn family, and otherwise', '']
['diversified by little beyond the walks to Meryton, sometimes dirty and', '']
['sometimes cold, did January and February pass away. March was to take', '']
['Elizabeth to Hunsford. She had not at first thought very seriously of', '']
['going thither; but Charlotte, she soon found, was depending on the plan', '']
['and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure', '']
['as well as greater certainty. Absence had increased her desire of seeing', '']
['Charlotte again, and weakened her disgust of Mr. Collins. There', '']
['was novelty in the scheme, and as, with such a mother and such', '']
['uncompanionable sisters, home could not be faultless, a little change', '']
['was not unwelcome for its own sake. The journey would moreover give her', '']
['a peep at Jane; and, in short, as the time drew near, she would have', '']
['been very sorry for any delay. Everything, however, went on smoothly,', '']
["and was finally settled according to Charlotte's first sketch. She was", '']
['to accompany Sir William and his second daughter. The improvement', '']
['of spending a night in London was added in time, and the plan became', '']
['perfect as plan could be.', '']
['The only pain was in leaving her father, who would certainly miss her,', '']
['and who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going, that he', '']
['told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter.', '']
['The farewell between herself and Mr. Wickham was perfectly friendly; on', '']
['his side even more. His present pursuit could not make him forget that', '']
['Elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention, the', '']
['first to listen and to pity, the first to be admired; and in his manner', '']
['of bidding her adieu, wishing her every enjoyment, reminding her of', '']
['what she was to expect in Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and trusting their', '']
['opinion of her--their opinion of everybody--would always coincide, there', '']
['was a solicitude, an interest which she felt must ever attach her to', '']
['him with a most sincere regard; and she parted from him convinced that,', '']
['whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable', '']
['and pleasing.', '']
['Her fellow-travellers the next day were not of a kind to make her', '']
['think him less agreeable. Sir William Lucas, and his daughter Maria, a', '']
['good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say', '']
['that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much', '']
['delight as the rattle of the chaise. Elizabeth loved absurdities, but', '']
["she had known Sir William's too long. He could tell her nothing new of", '']
['the wonders of his presentation and knighthood; and his civilities were', '']
['worn out, like his information.', '']
['It was a journey of only twenty-four miles, and they began it so early', '']
["as to be in Gracechurch Street by noon. As they drove to Mr. Gardiner's", '']
['door, Jane was at a drawing-room window watching their arrival; when', '']
['they entered the passage she was there to welcome them, and Elizabeth,', '']
['looking earnestly in her face, was pleased to see it healthful and', '']
['lovely as ever. On the stairs were a troop of little boys and girls,', '']
["whose eagerness for their cousin's appearance would not allow them to", '']
['wait in the drawing-room, and whose shyness, as they had not seen', '']
['her for a twelvemonth, prevented their coming lower. All was joy and', '']
['kindness. The day passed most pleasantly away; the morning in bustle and', '']
['shopping, and the evening at one of the theatres.', '']
['Elizabeth then contrived to sit by her aunt. Their first object was her', '']
['sister; and she was more grieved than astonished to hear, in reply to', '']
['her minute inquiries, that though Jane always struggled to support her', '']
['spirits, there were periods of dejection. It was reasonable, however,', '']
['to hope that they would not continue long. Mrs. Gardiner gave her the', '']
["particulars also of Miss Bingley's visit in Gracechurch Street, and", '']
['repeated conversations occurring at different times between Jane and', '']
['herself, which proved that the former had, from her heart, given up the', '']
['acquaintance.', '']
["Mrs. Gardiner then rallied her niece on Wickham's desertion, and", '']
['complimented her on bearing it so well.', '']
['"But my dear Elizabeth," she added, "what sort of girl is Miss King? I', '']
['should be sorry to think our friend mercenary."', '']
['"Pray, my dear aunt, what is the difference in matrimonial affairs,', '']
['between the mercenary and the prudent motive? Where does discretion end,', '']
['and avarice begin? Last Christmas you were afraid of his marrying me,', '']
['because it would be imprudent; and now, because he is trying to get', '']
['a girl with only ten thousand pounds, you want to find out that he is', '']
['mercenary."', '']
['"If you will only tell me what sort of girl Miss King is, I shall know', '']
['what to think."', '']
['"She is a very good kind of girl, I believe. I know no harm of her."', '']
['"But he paid her not the smallest attention till her grandfather\'s death', '']
['made her mistress of this fortune."', '']
['"No--why should he? If it were not allowable for him to gain _my_', '']
['affections because I had no money, what occasion could there be for', '']
['making love to a girl whom he did not care about, and who was equally', '']
['poor?"', '']
['"But there seems an indelicacy in directing his attentions towards her', '']
['so soon after this event."', '']
['"A man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant', '']
['decorums which other people may observe. If _she_ does not object to it,', '']
['why should _we_?"', '']
['"_Her_ not objecting does not justify _him_. It only shows her being', '']
['deficient in something herself--sense or feeling."', '']
['"Well," cried Elizabeth, "have it as you choose. _He_ shall be', '']
['mercenary, and _she_ shall be foolish."', '']
['"No, Lizzy, that is what I do _not_ choose. I should be sorry, you know,', '']
['to think ill of a young man who has lived so long in Derbyshire."', '']
['"Oh! if that is all, I have a very poor opinion of young men who live in', '']
['Derbyshire; and their intimate friends who live in Hertfordshire are not', '']
['much better. I am sick of them all. Thank Heaven! I am going to-morrow', '']
['where I shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has', '']
['neither manner nor sense to recommend him. Stupid men are the only ones', '']
['worth knowing, after all."', '']
['"Take care, Lizzy; that speech savours strongly of disappointment."', '']
['Before they were separated by the conclusion of the play, she had the', '']
['unexpected happiness of an invitation to accompany her uncle and aunt in', '']
['a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer.', '']
['"We have not determined how far it shall carry us," said Mrs. Gardiner,', '']
['"but, perhaps, to the Lakes."', '']
['No scheme could have been more agreeable to Elizabeth, and her', '']
['acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful. "Oh, my dear,', '']
['dear aunt," she rapturously cried, "what delight! what felicity! You', '']
['give me fresh life and vigour. Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What', '']
['are young men to rocks and mountains? Oh! what hours of transport', '']
['we shall spend! And when we _do_ return, it shall not be like other', '']
['travellers, without being able to give one accurate idea of anything. We', '']
['_will_ know where we have gone--we _will_ recollect what we have seen.', '']
['Lakes, mountains, and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our', '']
['imaginations; nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene,', '']
['will we begin quarreling about its relative situation. Let _our_', '']
['first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of', '']
['travellers."', '']
['Chapter 28', '']
["Every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to", '']
['Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had', '']
['seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health,', '']
['and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight.', '']
['When they left the high road for the lane to Hunsford, every eye was in', '']
['search of the Parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view.', '']
['The palings of Rosings Park was their boundary on one side. Elizabeth', '']
['smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.', '']
['At length the Parsonage was discernible. The garden sloping to the', '']
['road, the house standing in it, the green pales, and the laurel hedge,', '']
['everything declared they were arriving. Mr. Collins and Charlotte', '']
['appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at the small gate which', '']
['led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of', '']
['the whole party. In a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing', '']
['at the sight of each other. Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the', '']
['liveliest pleasure, and Elizabeth was more and more satisfied with', '']
['coming when she found herself so affectionately received. She saw', '']
["instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage;", '']
['his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some', '']
['minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her', '']
['family. They were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the', '']
['neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they', '']
['were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time, with ostentatious', '']
["formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's", '']
['offers of refreshment.', '']
['Elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory; and she could not help', '']
['in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room, its', '']
['aspect and its furniture, he addressed himself particularly to her,', '']
['as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him. But', '']
['though everything seemed neat and comfortable, she was not able to', '']
['gratify him by any sigh of repentance, and rather looked with wonder at', '']
['her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion.', '']
['When Mr. Collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be', '']
['ashamed, which certainly was not unseldom, she involuntarily turned her', '']
['eye on Charlotte. Once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but', '']
['in general Charlotte wisely did not hear. After sitting long enough to', '']
['admire every article of furniture in the room, from the sideboard to', '']
['the fender, to give an account of their journey, and of all that had', '']
['happened in London, Mr. Collins invited them to take a stroll in the', '']
['garden, which was large and well laid out, and to the cultivation of', '']
['which he attended himself. To work in this garden was one of his most', '']
['respectable pleasures; and Elizabeth admired the command of countenance', '']
['with which Charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise, and', '']
['owned she encouraged it as much as possible. Here, leading the way', '']
['through every walk and cross walk, and scarcely allowing them an', '']
['interval to utter the praises he asked for, every view was pointed out', '']
['with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind. He could number the', '']
['fields in every direction, and could tell how many trees there were in', '']
['the most distant clump. But of all the views which his garden, or which', '']
['the country or kingdom could boast, none were to be compared with the', '']
['prospect of Rosings, afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered', '']
['the park nearly opposite the front of his house. It was a handsome', '']
['modern building, well situated on rising ground.', '']
['From his garden, Mr. Collins would have led them round his two meadows;', '']
['but the ladies, not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white', '']
['frost, turned back; and while Sir William accompanied him, Charlotte', '']
['took her sister and friend over the house, extremely well pleased,', '']
["probably, to have the opportunity of showing it without her husband's", '']
['help. It was rather small, but well built and convenient; and everything', '']
['was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which', '']
['Elizabeth gave Charlotte all the credit. When Mr. Collins could be', '']
['forgotten, there was really an air of great comfort throughout, and by', '']
["Charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, Elizabeth supposed he must be often", '']
['forgotten.', '']
['She had already learnt that Lady Catherine was still in the country. It', '']
['was spoken of again while they were at dinner, when Mr. Collins joining', '']
['in, observed:', '']
['"Yes, Miss Elizabeth, you will have the honour of seeing Lady Catherine', '']
['de Bourgh on the ensuing Sunday at church, and I need not say you will', '']
['be delighted with her. She is all affability and condescension, and I', '']
['doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice', '']
['when service is over. I have scarcely any hesitation in saying she', '']
['will include you and my sister Maria in every invitation with which she', '']
['honours us during your stay here. Her behaviour to my dear Charlotte is', '']
['charming. We dine at Rosings twice every week, and are never allowed', '']
["to walk home. Her ladyship's carriage is regularly ordered for us. I", '']
['_should_ say, one of her ladyship\'s carriages, for she has several."', '']
['"Lady Catherine is a very respectable, sensible woman indeed," added', '']
['Charlotte, "and a most attentive neighbour."', '']
['"Very true, my dear, that is exactly what I say. She is the sort of', '']
['woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference."', '']
['The evening was spent chiefly in talking over Hertfordshire news,', '']
['and telling again what had already been written; and when it closed,', '']
['Elizabeth, in the solitude of her chamber, had to meditate upon', '']
["Charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding,", '']
['and composure in bearing with, her husband, and to acknowledge that it', '']
['was all done very well. She had also to anticipate how her visit', '']
['would pass, the quiet tenor of their usual employments, the vexatious', '']
['interruptions of Mr. Collins, and the gaieties of their intercourse with', '']
['Rosings. A lively imagination soon settled it all.', '']
['About the middle of the next day, as she was in her room getting ready', '']
['for a walk, a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in', '']
['confusion; and, after listening a moment, she heard somebody running', '']
['up stairs in a violent hurry, and calling loudly after her. She opened', '']
['the door and met Maria in the landing place, who, breathless with', '']
['agitation, cried out--', '']
['"Oh, my dear Eliza! pray make haste and come into the dining-room, for', '']
['there is such a sight to be seen! I will not tell you what it is. Make', '']
['haste, and come down this moment."', '']
['Elizabeth asked questions in vain; Maria would tell her nothing more,', '']
['and down they ran into the dining-room, which fronted the lane, in', '']
['quest of this wonder; It was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the', '']
['garden gate.', '']
['"And is this all?" cried Elizabeth. "I expected at least that the pigs', '']
['were got into the garden, and here is nothing but Lady Catherine and her', '']
['daughter."', '']
['"La! my dear," said Maria, quite shocked at the mistake, "it is not', '']
['Lady Catherine. The old lady is Mrs. Jenkinson, who lives with them;', '']
['the other is Miss de Bourgh. Only look at her. She is quite a little', '']
['creature. Who would have thought that she could be so thin and small?"', '']
['"She is abominably rude to keep Charlotte out of doors in all this wind.', '']
['Why does she not come in?"', '']
['"Oh, Charlotte says she hardly ever does. It is the greatest of favours', '']
['when Miss de Bourgh comes in."', '']
['"I like her appearance," said Elizabeth, struck with other ideas. "She', '']
['looks sickly and cross. Yes, she will do for him very well. She will', '']
['make him a very proper wife."', '']
['Mr. Collins and Charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation', '']
["with the ladies; and Sir William, to Elizabeth's high diversion, was", '']
['stationed in the doorway, in earnest contemplation of the greatness', '']
['before him, and constantly bowing whenever Miss de Bourgh looked that', '']
['way.', '']
['At length there was nothing more to be said; the ladies drove on, and', '']
['the others returned into the house. Mr. Collins no sooner saw the two', '']
['girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune, which', '']
['Charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked', '']
['to dine at Rosings the next day.', '']
['Chapter 29', '']
["Mr. Collins's triumph, in consequence of this invitation, was complete.", '']
['The power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering', '']
['visitors, and of letting them see her civility towards himself and his', '']
['wife, was exactly what he had wished for; and that an opportunity', '']
['of doing it should be given so soon, was such an instance of Lady', '']
["Catherine's condescension, as he knew not how to admire enough.", '']
['"I confess," said he, "that I should not have been at all surprised by', '']
["her ladyship's asking us on Sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at", '']
['Rosings. I rather expected, from my knowledge of her affability, that it', '']
['would happen. But who could have foreseen such an attention as this? Who', '']
['could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there', '']
['(an invitation, moreover, including the whole party) so immediately', '']
['after your arrival!"', '']
['"I am the less surprised at what has happened," replied Sir William,', '']
['"from that knowledge of what the manners of the great really are, which', '']
['my situation in life has allowed me to acquire. About the court, such', '']
['instances of elegant breeding are not uncommon."', '']
['Scarcely anything was talked of the whole day or next morning but their', '']
['visit to Rosings. Mr. Collins was carefully instructing them in what', '']
['they were to expect, that the sight of such rooms, so many servants, and', '']
['so splendid a dinner, might not wholly overpower them.', '']
['When the ladies were separating for the toilette, he said to Elizabeth--', '']
['"Do not make yourself uneasy, my dear cousin, about your apparel. Lady', '']
['Catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which', '']
['becomes herself and her daughter. I would advise you merely to put on', '']
['whatever of your clothes is superior to the rest--there is no occasion', '']
['for anything more. Lady Catherine will not think the worse of you', '']
['for being simply dressed. She likes to have the distinction of rank', '']
['preserved."', '']
['While they were dressing, he came two or three times to their different', '']
['doors, to recommend their being quick, as Lady Catherine very much', '']
['objected to be kept waiting for her dinner. Such formidable accounts of', '']
['her ladyship, and her manner of living, quite frightened Maria Lucas', '']
['who had been little used to company, and she looked forward to her', '']
['introduction at Rosings with as much apprehension as her father had done', '']
["to his presentation at St. James's.", '']
['As the weather was fine, they had a pleasant walk of about half a', '']
['mile across the park. Every park has its beauty and its prospects; and', '']
['Elizabeth saw much to be pleased with, though she could not be in such', '']
['raptures as Mr. Collins expected the scene to inspire, and was but', '']
['slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the', '']
['house, and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally', '']
['cost Sir Lewis de Bourgh.', '']
["When they ascended the steps to the hall, Maria's alarm was every", '']
['moment increasing, and even Sir William did not look perfectly calm.', '']
["Elizabeth's courage did not fail her. She had heard nothing of Lady", '']
['Catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or', '']
['miraculous virtue, and the mere stateliness of money or rank she thought', '']
['she could witness without trepidation.', '']
['From the entrance-hall, of which Mr. Collins pointed out, with a', '']
['rapturous air, the fine proportion and the finished ornaments, they', '']
['followed the servants through an ante-chamber, to the room where Lady', '']
['Catherine, her daughter, and Mrs. Jenkinson were sitting. Her ladyship,', '']
['with great condescension, arose to receive them; and as Mrs. Collins had', '']
['settled it with her husband that the office of introduction should', '']
['be hers, it was performed in a proper manner, without any of those', '']
['apologies and thanks which he would have thought necessary.', '']
["In spite of having been at St. James's, Sir William was so completely", '']
['awed by the grandeur surrounding him, that he had but just courage', '']
['enough to make a very low bow, and take his seat without saying a word;', '']
['and his daughter, frightened almost out of her senses, sat on the edge', '']
['of her chair, not knowing which way to look. Elizabeth found herself', '']
['quite equal to the scene, and could observe the three ladies before her', '']
['composedly. Lady Catherine was a tall, large woman, with strongly-marked', '']
['features, which might once have been handsome. Her air was not', '']
['conciliating, nor was her manner of receiving them such as to make her', '']
['visitors forget their inferior rank. She was not rendered formidable by', '']
['silence; but whatever she said was spoken in so authoritative a tone,', '']
['as marked her self-importance, and brought Mr. Wickham immediately to', '']
["Elizabeth's mind; and from the observation of the day altogether, she", '']
['believed Lady Catherine to be exactly what he represented.', '']
['When, after examining the mother, in whose countenance and deportment', '']
['she soon found some resemblance of Mr. Darcy, she turned her eyes on the', '']
["daughter, she could almost have joined in Maria's astonishment at her", '']
['being so thin and so small. There was neither in figure nor face any', '']
['likeness between the ladies. Miss de Bourgh was pale and sickly; her', '']
['features, though not plain, were insignificant; and she spoke very', '']
['little, except in a low voice, to Mrs. Jenkinson, in whose appearance', '']
['there was nothing remarkable, and who was entirely engaged in listening', '']
['to what she said, and placing a screen in the proper direction before', '']
['her eyes.', '']
['After sitting a few minutes, they were all sent to one of the windows to', '']
['admire the view, Mr. Collins attending them to point out its beauties,', '']
['and Lady Catherine kindly informing them that it was much better worth', '']
['looking at in the summer.', '']
['The dinner was exceedingly handsome, and there were all the servants and', '']
['all the articles of plate which Mr. Collins had promised; and, as he had', '']
['likewise foretold, he took his seat at the bottom of the table, by her', '']
["ladyship's desire, and looked as if he felt that life could furnish", '']
['nothing greater. He carved, and ate, and praised with delighted', '']
['alacrity; and every dish was commended, first by him and then by Sir', '']
['William, who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his son-in-law', '']
['said, in a manner which Elizabeth wondered Lady Catherine could bear.', '']
['But Lady Catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration, and', '']
['gave most gracious smiles, especially when any dish on the table proved', '']
['a novelty to them. The party did not supply much conversation. Elizabeth', '']
['was ready to speak whenever there was an opening, but she was seated', '']
['between Charlotte and Miss de Bourgh--the former of whom was engaged in', '']
['listening to Lady Catherine, and the latter said not a word to her all', '']
['dinner-time. Mrs. Jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little', '']
['Miss de Bourgh ate, pressing her to try some other dish, and fearing', '']
['she was indisposed. Maria thought speaking out of the question, and the', '']
['gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire.', '']
['When the ladies returned to the drawing-room, there was little to', '']
['be done but to hear Lady Catherine talk, which she did without any', '']
['intermission till coffee came in, delivering her opinion on every', '']
['subject in so decisive a manner, as proved that she was not used to', '']
["have her judgement controverted. She inquired into Charlotte's domestic", '']
['concerns familiarly and minutely, gave her a great deal of advice as', '']
['to the management of them all; told her how everything ought to be', '']
['regulated in so small a family as hers, and instructed her as to the', '']
['care of her cows and her poultry. Elizabeth found that nothing was', '']
["beneath this great lady's attention, which could furnish her with an", '']
['occasion of dictating to others. In the intervals of her discourse', '']
['with Mrs. Collins, she addressed a variety of questions to Maria and', '']
['Elizabeth, but especially to the latter, of whose connections she knew', '']
['the least, and who she observed to Mrs. Collins was a very genteel,', '']
['pretty kind of girl. She asked her, at different times, how many sisters', '']
['she had, whether they were older or younger than herself, whether any of', '']
['them were likely to be married, whether they were handsome, where they', '']
['had been educated, what carriage her father kept, and what had been', '']
["her mother's maiden name? Elizabeth felt all the impertinence of", '']
['her questions but answered them very composedly. Lady Catherine then', '']
['observed,', '']
['"Your father\'s estate is entailed on Mr. Collins, I think. For your', '']
['sake," turning to Charlotte, "I am glad of it; but otherwise I see no', '']
['occasion for entailing estates from the female line. It was not thought', '']
["necessary in Sir Lewis de Bourgh's family. Do you play and sing, Miss", '']
['Bennet?"', '']
['"A little."', '']
['"Oh! then--some time or other we shall be happy to hear you. Our', '']
['instrument is a capital one, probably superior to----You shall try it', '']
['some day. Do your sisters play and sing?"', '']
['"One of them does."', '']
['"Why did not you all learn? You ought all to have learned. The Miss', '']
['Webbs all play, and their father has not so good an income as yours. Do', '']
['you draw?"', '']
['"No, not at all."', '']
['"What, none of you?"', '']
['"Not one."', '']
['"That is very strange. But I suppose you had no opportunity. Your mother', '']
['should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters."', '']
['"My mother would have had no objection, but my father hates London."', '']
['"Has your governess left you?"', '']
['"We never had any governess."', '']
['"No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home', '']
['without a governess! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must', '']
['have been quite a slave to your education."', '']
['Elizabeth could hardly help smiling as she assured her that had not been', '']
['the case.', '']
['"Then, who taught you? who attended to you? Without a governess, you', '']
['must have been neglected."', '']
['"Compared with some families, I believe we were; but such of us as', '']
['wished to learn never wanted the means. We were always encouraged to', '']
['read, and had all the masters that were necessary. Those who chose to be', '']
['idle, certainly might."', '']
['"Aye, no doubt; but that is what a governess will prevent, and if I had', '']
['known your mother, I should have advised her most strenuously to engage', '']
['one. I always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady', '']
['and regular instruction, and nobody but a governess can give it. It is', '']
['wonderful how many families I have been the means of supplying in that', '']
['way. I am always glad to get a young person well placed out. Four nieces', '']
['of Mrs. Jenkinson are most delightfully situated through my means; and', '']
['it was but the other day that I recommended another young person,', '']
['who was merely accidentally mentioned to me, and the family are quite', '']
["delighted with her. Mrs. Collins, did I tell you of Lady Metcalf's", '']
["calling yesterday to thank me? She finds Miss Pope a treasure. 'Lady", '']
["Catherine,' said she, 'you have given me a treasure.' Are any of your", '']
['younger sisters out, Miss Bennet?"', '']
['"Yes, ma\'am, all."', '']
['"All! What, all five out at once? Very odd! And you only the second. The', '']
['younger ones out before the elder ones are married! Your younger sisters', '']
['must be very young?"', '']
['"Yes, my youngest is not sixteen. Perhaps _she_ is full young to be', '']
["much in company. But really, ma'am, I think it would be very hard upon", '']
['younger sisters, that they should not have their share of society and', '']
['amusement, because the elder may not have the means or inclination to', '']
['marry early. The last-born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth', '']
['as the first. And to be kept back on _such_ a motive! I think it would', '']
['not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind."', '']
['"Upon my word," said her ladyship, "you give your opinion very decidedly', '']
['for so young a person. Pray, what is your age?"', '']
['"With three younger sisters grown up," replied Elizabeth, smiling, "your', '']
['ladyship can hardly expect me to own it."', '']
['Lady Catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer;', '']
['and Elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever', '']
['dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence.', '']
['"You cannot be more than twenty, I am sure, therefore you need not', '']
['conceal your age."', '']
['"I am not one-and-twenty."', '']
['When the gentlemen had joined them, and tea was over, the card-tables', '']
['were placed. Lady Catherine, Sir William, and Mr. and Mrs. Collins sat', '']
['down to quadrille; and as Miss de Bourgh chose to play at cassino, the', '']
['two girls had the honour of assisting Mrs. Jenkinson to make up her', '']
['party. Their table was superlatively stupid. Scarcely a syllable was', '']
['uttered that did not relate to the game, except when Mrs. Jenkinson', '']
["expressed her fears of Miss de Bourgh's being too hot or too cold, or", '']
['having too much or too little light. A great deal more passed at the', '']
['other table. Lady Catherine was generally speaking--stating the mistakes', '']
['of the three others, or relating some anecdote of herself. Mr. Collins', '']
['was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship said, thanking her', '']
['for every fish he won, and apologising if he thought he won too many.', '']
['Sir William did not say much. He was storing his memory with anecdotes', '']
['and noble names.', '']
['When Lady Catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose,', '']
['the tables were broken up, the carriage was offered to Mrs. Collins,', '']
['gratefully accepted and immediately ordered. The party then gathered', '']
['round the fire to hear Lady Catherine determine what weather they were', '']
['to have on the morrow. From these instructions they were summoned by', '']
['the arrival of the coach; and with many speeches of thankfulness on Mr.', '']
["Collins's side and as many bows on Sir William's they departed. As soon", '']
['as they had driven from the door, Elizabeth was called on by her cousin', '']
['to give her opinion of all that she had seen at Rosings, which, for', '']
["Charlotte's sake, she made more favourable than it really was. But her", '']
['commendation, though costing her some trouble, could by no means satisfy', '']
["Mr. Collins, and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyship's praise", '']
['into his own hands.', '']
['Chapter 30', '']
['Sir William stayed only a week at Hunsford, but his visit was long', '']
["enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled,", '']
['and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not', '']
['often met with. While Sir William was with them, Mr. Collins devoted his', '']
['morning to driving him out in his gig, and showing him the country; but', '']
['when he went away, the whole family returned to their usual employments,', '']
['and Elizabeth was thankful to find that they did not see more of her', '']
['cousin by the alteration, for the chief of the time between breakfast', '']
['and dinner was now passed by him either at work in the garden or in', '']
['reading and writing, and looking out of the window in his own book-room,', '']
['which fronted the road. The room in which the ladies sat was backwards.', '']
['Elizabeth had at first rather wondered that Charlotte should not prefer', '']
['the dining-parlour for common use; it was a better sized room, and had a', '']
['more pleasant aspect; but she soon saw that her friend had an excellent', '']
['reason for what she did, for Mr. Collins would undoubtedly have been', '']
['much less in his own apartment, had they sat in one equally lively; and', '']
['she gave Charlotte credit for the arrangement.', '']
['From the drawing-room they could distinguish nothing in the lane, and', '']
['were indebted to Mr. Collins for the knowledge of what carriages went', '']
['along, and how often especially Miss de Bourgh drove by in her phaeton,', '']
['which he never failed coming to inform them of, though it happened', '']
['almost every day. She not unfrequently stopped at the Parsonage, and', '']
["had a few minutes' conversation with Charlotte, but was scarcely ever", '']
['prevailed upon to get out.', '']
['Very few days passed in which Mr. Collins did not walk to Rosings, and', '']
['not many in which his wife did not think it necessary to go likewise;', '']
['and till Elizabeth recollected that there might be other family livings', '']
['to be disposed of, she could not understand the sacrifice of so many', '']
['hours. Now and then they were honoured with a call from her ladyship,', '']
['and nothing escaped her observation that was passing in the room during', '']
['these visits. She examined into their employments, looked at their work,', '']
['and advised them to do it differently; found fault with the arrangement', '']
['of the furniture; or detected the housemaid in negligence; and if she', '']
['accepted any refreshment, seemed to do it only for the sake of finding', '']
["out that Mrs. Collins's joints of meat were too large for her family.", '']
['Elizabeth soon perceived, that though this great lady was not in', '']
['commission of the peace of the county, she was a most active magistrate', '']
['in her own parish, the minutest concerns of which were carried to her', '']
['by Mr. Collins; and whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to', '']
['be quarrelsome, discontented, or too poor, she sallied forth into the', '']
['village to settle their differences, silence their complaints, and scold', '']
['them into harmony and plenty.', '']
['The entertainment of dining at Rosings was repeated about twice a week;', '']
['and, allowing for the loss of Sir William, and there being only one', '']
['card-table in the evening, every such entertainment was the counterpart', '']
['of the first. Their other engagements were few, as the style of living', '']
["in the neighbourhood in general was beyond Mr. Collins's reach. This,", '']
['however, was no evil to Elizabeth, and upon the whole she spent her time', '']
['comfortably enough; there were half-hours of pleasant conversation with', '']
['Charlotte, and the weather was so fine for the time of year that she had', '']
['often great enjoyment out of doors. Her favourite walk, and where she', '']
['frequently went while the others were calling on Lady Catherine, was', '']
['along the open grove which edged that side of the park, where there was', '']
['a nice sheltered path, which no one seemed to value but herself, and', '']
["where she felt beyond the reach of Lady Catherine's curiosity.", '']
['In this quiet way, the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away.', '']
['Easter was approaching, and the week preceding it was to bring an', '']
['addition to the family at Rosings, which in so small a circle must be', '']
['important. Elizabeth had heard soon after her arrival that Mr. Darcy was', '']
['expected there in the course of a few weeks, and though there were not', '']
['many of her acquaintances whom she did not prefer, his coming would', '']
['furnish one comparatively new to look at in their Rosings parties, and', '']
["she might be amused in seeing how hopeless Miss Bingley's designs on him", '']
['were, by his behaviour to his cousin, for whom he was evidently', '']
['destined by Lady Catherine, who talked of his coming with the greatest', '']
['satisfaction, spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration, and', '']
['seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by', '']
['Miss Lucas and herself.', '']
['His arrival was soon known at the Parsonage; for Mr. Collins was walking', '']
['the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into Hunsford Lane,', '']
['in order to have the earliest assurance of it, and after making his', '']
['bow as the carriage turned into the Park, hurried home with the great', '']
['intelligence. On the following morning he hastened to Rosings to pay his', '']
['respects. There were two nephews of Lady Catherine to require them, for', '']
['Mr. Darcy had brought with him a Colonel Fitzwilliam, the younger son of', '']
['his uncle Lord ----, and, to the great surprise of all the party, when', '']
['Mr. Collins returned, the gentlemen accompanied him. Charlotte had seen', '']
["them from her husband's room, crossing the road, and immediately running", '']
['into the other, told the girls what an honour they might expect, adding:', '']
['"I may thank you, Eliza, for this piece of civility. Mr. Darcy would', '']
['never have come so soon to wait upon me."', '']
['Elizabeth had scarcely time to disclaim all right to the compliment,', '']
['before their approach was announced by the door-bell, and shortly', '']
['afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room. Colonel Fitzwilliam,', '']
['who led the way, was about thirty, not handsome, but in person and', '']
['address most truly the gentleman. Mr. Darcy looked just as he had been', '']
['used to look in Hertfordshire--paid his compliments, with his usual', '']
['reserve, to Mrs. Collins, and whatever might be his feelings toward her', '']
['friend, met her with every appearance of composure. Elizabeth merely', '']
['curtseyed to him without saying a word.', '']
['Colonel Fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the', '']
['readiness and ease of a well-bred man, and talked very pleasantly; but', '']
['his cousin, after having addressed a slight observation on the house and', '']
['garden to Mrs. Collins, sat for some time without speaking to anybody.', '']
['At length, however, his civility was so far awakened as to inquire of', '']
['Elizabeth after the health of her family. She answered him in the usual', '']
["way, and after a moment's pause, added:", '']
['"My eldest sister has been in town these three months. Have you never', '']
['happened to see her there?"', '']
['She was perfectly sensible that he never had; but she wished to see', '']
['whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between', '']
['the Bingleys and Jane, and she thought he looked a little confused as he', '']
['answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet Miss Bennet. The', '']
['subject was pursued no farther, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went', '']
['away.', '']
['Chapter 31', '']
["Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the Parsonage,", '']
['and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures', '']
['of their engagements at Rosings. It was some days, however, before they', '']
['received any invitation thither--for while there were visitors in the', '']
['house, they could not be necessary; and it was not till Easter-day,', '']
["almost a week after the gentlemen's arrival, that they were honoured by", '']
['such an attention, and then they were merely asked on leaving church to', '']
['come there in the evening. For the last week they had seen very little', '']
['of Lady Catherine or her daughter. Colonel Fitzwilliam had called at the', '']
['Parsonage more than once during the time, but Mr. Darcy they had seen', '']
['only at church.', '']
['The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined', '']
["the party in Lady Catherine's drawing-room. Her ladyship received", '']
['them civilly, but it was plain that their company was by no means so', '']
['acceptable as when she could get nobody else; and she was, in fact,', '']
['almost engrossed by her nephews, speaking to them, especially to Darcy,', '']
['much more than to any other person in the room.', '']
['Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a', '']
["welcome relief to him at Rosings; and Mrs. Collins's pretty friend had", '']
['moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and', '']
['talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of travelling and staying', '']
['at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so', '']
['well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much', '']
['spirit and flow, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself,', '']
['as well as of Mr. Darcy. _His_ eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned', '']
['towards them with a look of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a', '']
['while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not', '']
['scruple to call out:', '']
['"What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking', '']
['of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is."', '']
['"We are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid', '']
['a reply.', '']
['"Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I', '']
['must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music.', '']
['There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment', '']
['of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt,', '']
['I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health', '']
['had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed', '']
['delightfully. How does Georgiana get on, Darcy?"', '']
["Mr. Darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sister's proficiency.", '']
['"I am very glad to hear such a good account of her," said Lady', '']
['Catherine; "and pray tell her from me, that she cannot expect to excel', '']
['if she does not practice a good deal."', '']
['"I assure you, madam," he replied, "that she does not need such advice.', '']
['She practises very constantly."', '']
['"So much the better. It cannot be done too much; and when I next write', '']
['to her, I shall charge her not to neglect it on any account. I often', '']
['tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without', '']
['constant practice. I have told Miss Bennet several times, that she', '']
['will never play really well unless she practises more; and though Mrs.', '']
['Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told', '']
['her, to come to Rosings every day, and play on the pianoforte in Mrs.', '']
["Jenkinson's room. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part", '']
['of the house."', '']
["Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding, and made", '']
['no answer.', '']
['When coffee was over, Colonel Fitzwilliam reminded Elizabeth of having', '']
['promised to play to him; and she sat down directly to the instrument. He', '']
['drew a chair near her. Lady Catherine listened to half a song, and then', '']
['talked, as before, to her other nephew; till the latter walked away', '']
['from her, and making with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte', '']
["stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performer's", '']
['countenance. Elizabeth saw what he was doing, and at the first', '']
['convenient pause, turned to him with an arch smile, and said:', '']
['"You mean to frighten me, Mr. Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear', '']
['me? I will not be alarmed though your sister _does_ play so well. There', '']
['is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the', '']
['will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate', '']
['me."', '']
['"I shall not say you are mistaken," he replied, "because you could not', '']
['really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have', '']
['had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find', '']
['great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are', '']
['not your own."', '']
['Elizabeth laughed heartily at this picture of herself, and said to', '']
['Colonel Fitzwilliam, "Your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of', '']
['me, and teach you not to believe a word I say. I am particularly unlucky', '']
['in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character, in a part', '']
['of the world where I had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of', '']
['credit. Indeed, Mr. Darcy, it is very ungenerous in you to mention all', '']
['that you knew to my disadvantage in Hertfordshire--and, give me leave to', '']
['say, very impolitic too--for it is provoking me to retaliate, and such', '']
['things may come out as will shock your relations to hear."', '']
['"I am not afraid of you," said he, smilingly.', '']
['"Pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of," cried Colonel', '']
['Fitzwilliam. "I should like to know how he behaves among strangers."', '']
['"You shall hear then--but prepare yourself for something very dreadful.', '']
['The first time of my ever seeing him in Hertfordshire, you must know,', '']
['was at a ball--and at this ball, what do you think he did? He danced', '']
['only four dances, though gentlemen were scarce; and, to my certain', '']
['knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a', '']
['partner. Mr. Darcy, you cannot deny the fact."', '']
['"I had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly', '']
['beyond my own party."', '']
['"True; and nobody can ever be introduced in a ball-room. Well, Colonel', '']
['Fitzwilliam, what do I play next? My fingers wait your orders."', '']
['"Perhaps," said Darcy, "I should have judged better, had I sought an', '']
['introduction; but I am ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers."', '']
['"Shall we ask your cousin the reason of this?" said Elizabeth, still', '']
['addressing Colonel Fitzwilliam. "Shall we ask him why a man of sense and', '']
['education, and who has lived in the world, is ill qualified to recommend', '']
['himself to strangers?"', '']
['"I can answer your question," said Fitzwilliam, "without applying to', '']
['him. It is because he will not give himself the trouble."', '']
['"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy,', '']
['"of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot', '']
['catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their', '']
['concerns, as I often see done."', '']
['"My fingers," said Elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the', '']
["masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same", '']
['force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I', '']
['have always supposed it to be my own fault--because I will not take the', '']
['trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe _my_ fingers as', '']
['capable as any other woman\'s of superior execution."', '']
['Darcy smiled and said, "You are perfectly right. You have employed your', '']
['time much better. No one admitted to the privilege of hearing you can', '']
['think anything wanting. We neither of us perform to strangers."', '']
['Here they were interrupted by Lady Catherine, who called out to know', '']
['what they were talking of. Elizabeth immediately began playing again.', '']
['Lady Catherine approached, and, after listening for a few minutes, said', '']
['to Darcy:', '']
['"Miss Bennet would not play at all amiss if she practised more, and', '']
['could have the advantage of a London master. She has a very good notion', '']
["of fingering, though her taste is not equal to Anne's. Anne would have", '']
['been a delightful performer, had her health allowed her to learn."', '']
['Elizabeth looked at Darcy to see how cordially he assented to his', '']
["cousin's praise; but neither at that moment nor at any other could she", '']
['discern any symptom of love; and from the whole of his behaviour to Miss', '']
['de Bourgh she derived this comfort for Miss Bingley, that he might have', '']
['been just as likely to marry _her_, had she been his relation.', '']
["Lady Catherine continued her remarks on Elizabeth's performance, mixing", '']
['with them many instructions on execution and taste. Elizabeth received', '']
['them with all the forbearance of civility, and, at the request of the', '']
["gentlemen, remained at the instrument till her ladyship's carriage was", '']
['ready to take them all home.', '']
['Chapter 32', '']
['Elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning, and writing to Jane', '']
['while Mrs. Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village,', '']
['when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain signal of a', '']
['visitor. As she had heard no carriage, she thought it not unlikely to', '']
['be Lady Catherine, and under that apprehension was putting away her', '']
['half-finished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions,', '']
['when the door opened, and, to her very great surprise, Mr. Darcy, and', '']
['Mr. Darcy only, entered the room.', '']
['He seemed astonished too on finding her alone, and apologised for his', '']
['intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies were', '']
['to be within.', '']
['They then sat down, and when her inquiries after Rosings were made,', '']
['seemed in danger of sinking into total silence. It was absolutely', '']
['necessary, therefore, to think of something, and in this emergence', '']
['recollecting _when_ she had seen him last in Hertfordshire, and', '']
['feeling curious to know what he would say on the subject of their hasty', '']
['departure, she observed:', '']
['"How very suddenly you all quitted Netherfield last November, Mr. Darcy!', '']
['It must have been a most agreeable surprise to Mr. Bingley to see you', '']
['all after him so soon; for, if I recollect right, he went but the day', '']
['before. He and his sisters were well, I hope, when you left London?"', '']
['"Perfectly so, I thank you."', '']
['She found that she was to receive no other answer, and, after a short', '']
['pause added:', '']
['"I think I have understood that Mr. Bingley has not much idea of ever', '']
['returning to Netherfield again?"', '']
['"I have never heard him say so; but it is probable that he may spend', '']
['very little of his time there in the future. He has many friends, and', '']
['is at a time of life when friends and engagements are continually', '']
['increasing."', '']
['"If he means to be but little at Netherfield, it would be better for', '']
['the neighbourhood that he should give up the place entirely, for then we', '']
['might possibly get a settled family there. But, perhaps, Mr. Bingley did', '']
['not take the house so much for the convenience of the neighbourhood as', '']
['for his own, and we must expect him to keep it or quit it on the same', '']
['principle."', '']
['"I should not be surprised," said Darcy, "if he were to give it up as', '']
['soon as any eligible purchase offers."', '']
['Elizabeth made no answer. She was afraid of talking longer of his', '']
['friend; and, having nothing else to say, was now determined to leave the', '']
['trouble of finding a subject to him.', '']
['He took the hint, and soon began with, "This seems a very comfortable', '']
['house. Lady Catherine, I believe, did a great deal to it when Mr.', '']
['Collins first came to Hunsford."', '']
['"I believe she did--and I am sure she could not have bestowed her', '']
['kindness on a more grateful object."', '']
['"Mr. Collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife."', '']
['"Yes, indeed, his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one', '']
['of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made', '']
['him happy if they had. My friend has an excellent understanding--though', '']
['I am not certain that I consider her marrying Mr. Collins as the', '']
['wisest thing she ever did. She seems perfectly happy, however, and in a', '']
['prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her."', '']
['"It must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a', '']
['distance of her own family and friends."', '']
['"An easy distance, do you call it? It is nearly fifty miles."', '']
['"And what is fifty miles of good road? Little more than half a day\'s', '']
['journey. Yes, I call it a _very_ easy distance."', '']
['"I should never have considered the distance as one of the _advantages_', '']
['of the match," cried Elizabeth. "I should never have said Mrs. Collins', '']
['was settled _near_ her family."', '']
['"It is a proof of your own attachment to Hertfordshire. Anything beyond', '']
['the very neighbourhood of Longbourn, I suppose, would appear far."', '']
['As he spoke there was a sort of smile which Elizabeth fancied she', '']
['understood; he must be supposing her to be thinking of Jane and', '']
['Netherfield, and she blushed as she answered:', '']
['"I do not mean to say that a woman may not be settled too near her', '']
['family. The far and the near must be relative, and depend on many', '']
['varying circumstances. Where there is fortune to make the expenses of', '']
['travelling unimportant, distance becomes no evil. But that is not the', '']
['case _here_. Mr. and Mrs. Collins have a comfortable income, but not', '']
['such a one as will allow of frequent journeys--and I am persuaded my', '']
['friend would not call herself _near_ her family under less than _half_', '']
['the present distance."', '']
['Mr. Darcy drew his chair a little towards her, and said, "_You_ cannot', '']
['have a right to such very strong local attachment. _You_ cannot have', '']
['been always at Longbourn."', '']
['Elizabeth looked surprised. The gentleman experienced some change of', '']
['feeling; he drew back his chair, took a newspaper from the table, and', '']
['glancing over it, said, in a colder voice:', '']
['"Are you pleased with Kent?"', '']
['A short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued, on either side', '']
['calm and concise--and soon put an end to by the entrance of Charlotte', '']
['and her sister, just returned from her walk. The tete-a-tete surprised', '']
['them. Mr. Darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding', '']
['on Miss Bennet, and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying', '']
['much to anybody, went away.', '']
['"What can be the meaning of this?" said Charlotte, as soon as he was', '']
['gone. "My dear, Eliza, he must be in love with you, or he would never', '']
['have called us in this familiar way."', '']
['But when Elizabeth told of his silence, it did not seem very likely,', '']
["even to Charlotte's wishes, to be the case; and after various", '']
['conjectures, they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed from', '']
['the difficulty of finding anything to do, which was the more probable', '']
['from the time of year. All field sports were over. Within doors there', '']
['was Lady Catherine, books, and a billiard-table, but gentlemen cannot', '']
['always be within doors; and in the nearness of the Parsonage, or the', '']
['pleasantness of the walk to it, or of the people who lived in it, the', '']
['two cousins found a temptation from this period of walking thither', '']
['almost every day. They called at various times of the morning, sometimes', '']
['separately, sometimes together, and now and then accompanied by their', '']
['aunt. It was plain to them all that Colonel Fitzwilliam came because he', '']
['had pleasure in their society, a persuasion which of course recommended', '']
['him still more; and Elizabeth was reminded by her own satisfaction in', '']
['being with him, as well as by his evident admiration of her, of her', '']
['former favourite George Wickham; and though, in comparing them, she saw', '']
["there was less captivating softness in Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners,", '']
['she believed he might have the best informed mind.', '']
['But why Mr. Darcy came so often to the Parsonage, it was more difficult', '']
['to understand. It could not be for society, as he frequently sat there', '']
['ten minutes together without opening his lips; and when he did speak,', '']
['it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of choice--a sacrifice', '']
['to propriety, not a pleasure to himself. He seldom appeared really', '']
['animated. Mrs. Collins knew not what to make of him. Colonel', '']
["Fitzwilliam's occasionally laughing at his stupidity, proved that he was", '']
['generally different, which her own knowledge of him could not have told', '']
['her; and as she would liked to have believed this change the effect', '']
['of love, and the object of that love her friend Eliza, she set herself', '']
['seriously to work to find it out. She watched him whenever they were at', '']
['Rosings, and whenever he came to Hunsford; but without much success. He', '']
['certainly looked at her friend a great deal, but the expression of that', '']
['look was disputable. It was an earnest, steadfast gaze, but she often', '']
['doubted whether there were much admiration in it, and sometimes it', '']
['seemed nothing but absence of mind.', '']
['She had once or twice suggested to Elizabeth the possibility of his', '']
['being partial to her, but Elizabeth always laughed at the idea; and Mrs.', '']
['Collins did not think it right to press the subject, from the danger of', '']
['raising expectations which might only end in disappointment; for in her', '']
["opinion it admitted not of a doubt, that all her friend's dislike would", '']
['vanish, if she could suppose him to be in her power.', '']
['In her kind schemes for Elizabeth, she sometimes planned her marrying', '']
['Colonel Fitzwilliam. He was beyond comparison the most pleasant man; he', '']
['certainly admired her, and his situation in life was most eligible; but,', '']
['to counterbalance these advantages, Mr. Darcy had considerable patronage', '']
['in the church, and his cousin could have none at all.', '']
['Chapter 33', '']
['More than once did Elizabeth, in her ramble within the park,', '']
['unexpectedly meet Mr. Darcy. She felt all the perverseness of the', '']
['mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to', '']
['prevent its ever happening again, took care to inform him at first that', '']
['it was a favourite haunt of hers. How it could occur a second time,', '']
['therefore, was very odd! Yet it did, and even a third. It seemed like', '']
['wilful ill-nature, or a voluntary penance, for on these occasions it was', '']
['not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away,', '']
['but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her. He', '']
['never said a great deal, nor did she give herself the trouble of talking', '']
['or of listening much; but it struck her in the course of their third', '']
['rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected questions--about', '']
['her pleasure in being at Hunsford, her love of solitary walks, and her', '']
["opinion of Mr. and Mrs. Collins's happiness; and that in speaking of", '']
['Rosings and her not perfectly understanding the house, he seemed to', '']
['expect that whenever she came into Kent again she would be staying', '']
['_there_ too. His words seemed to imply it. Could he have Colonel', '']
['Fitzwilliam in his thoughts? She supposed, if he meant anything, he must', '']
['mean an allusion to what might arise in that quarter. It distressed', '']
['her a little, and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the', '']
['pales opposite the Parsonage.', '']
["She was engaged one day as she walked, in perusing Jane's last letter,", '']
['and dwelling on some passages which proved that Jane had not written in', '']
['spirits, when, instead of being again surprised by Mr. Darcy, she saw', '']
['on looking up that Colonel Fitzwilliam was meeting her. Putting away the', '']
['letter immediately and forcing a smile, she said:', '']
['"I did not know before that you ever walked this way."', '']
['"I have been making the tour of the park," he replied, "as I generally', '']
['do every year, and intend to close it with a call at the Parsonage. Are', '']
['you going much farther?"', '']
['"No, I should have turned in a moment."', '']
['And accordingly she did turn, and they walked towards the Parsonage', '']
['together.', '']
['"Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday?" said she.', '']
['"Yes--if Darcy does not put it off again. But I am at his disposal. He', '']
['arranges the business just as he pleases."', '']
['"And if not able to please himself in the arrangement, he has at least', '']
['pleasure in the great power of choice. I do not know anybody who seems', '']
['more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy."', '']
['"He likes to have his own way very well," replied Colonel Fitzwilliam.', '']
['"But so we all do. It is only that he has better means of having it', '']
['than many others, because he is rich, and many others are poor. I speak', '']
['feelingly. A younger son, you know, must be inured to self-denial and', '']
['dependence."', '']
['"In my opinion, the younger son of an earl can know very little of', '']
['either. Now seriously, what have you ever known of self-denial and', '']
['dependence? When have you been prevented by want of money from going', '']
['wherever you chose, or procuring anything you had a fancy for?"', '']
['"These are home questions--and perhaps I cannot say that I have', '']
['experienced many hardships of that nature. But in matters of greater', '']
['weight, I may suffer from want of money. Younger sons cannot marry where', '']
['they like."', '']
['"Unless where they like women of fortune, which I think they very often', '']
['do."', '']
['"Our habits of expense make us too dependent, and there are not many', '']
['in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to', '']
['money."', '']
['"Is this," thought Elizabeth, "meant for me?" and she coloured at the', '']
['idea; but, recovering herself, said in a lively tone, "And pray, what', '']
["is the usual price of an earl's younger son? Unless the elder brother is", '']
['very sickly, I suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds."', '']
['He answered her in the same style, and the subject dropped. To interrupt', '']
['a silence which might make him fancy her affected with what had passed,', '']
['she soon afterwards said:', '']
['"I imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of', '']
['having someone at his disposal. I wonder he does not marry, to secure a', '']
['lasting convenience of that kind. But, perhaps, his sister does as well', '']
['for the present, and, as she is under his sole care, he may do what he', '']
['likes with her."', '']
['"No," said Colonel Fitzwilliam, "that is an advantage which he must', '']
['divide with me. I am joined with him in the guardianship of Miss Darcy."', '']
['"Are you indeed? And pray what sort of guardians do you make? Does your', '']
['charge give you much trouble? Young ladies of her age are sometimes a', '']
['little difficult to manage, and if she has the true Darcy spirit, she', '']
['may like to have her own way."', '']
['As she spoke she observed him looking at her earnestly; and the manner', '']
['in which he immediately asked her why she supposed Miss Darcy likely to', '']
['give them any uneasiness, convinced her that she had somehow or other', '']
['got pretty near the truth. She directly replied:', '']
['"You need not be frightened. I never heard any harm of her; and I dare', '']
['say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world. She is a', '']
['very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance, Mrs. Hurst and', '']
['Miss Bingley. I think I have heard you say that you know them."', '']
['"I know them a little. Their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike man--he', '']
['is a great friend of Darcy\'s."', '']
['"Oh! yes," said Elizabeth drily; "Mr. Darcy is uncommonly kind to Mr.', '']
['Bingley, and takes a prodigious deal of care of him."', '']
['"Care of him! Yes, I really believe Darcy _does_ take care of him in', '']
['those points where he most wants care. From something that he told me in', '']
['our journey hither, I have reason to think Bingley very much indebted to', '']
['him. But I ought to beg his pardon, for I have no right to suppose that', '']
['Bingley was the person meant. It was all conjecture."', '']
['"What is it you mean?"', '']
['"It is a circumstance which Darcy could not wish to be generally known,', '']
["because if it were to get round to the lady's family, it would be an", '']
['unpleasant thing."', '']
['"You may depend upon my not mentioning it."', '']
['"And remember that I have not much reason for supposing it to be', '']
['Bingley. What he told me was merely this: that he congratulated himself', '']
['on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most', '']
['imprudent marriage, but without mentioning names or any other', '']
['particulars, and I only suspected it to be Bingley from believing', '']
['him the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort, and from', '']
['knowing them to have been together the whole of last summer."', '']
['"Did Mr. Darcy give you reasons for this interference?"', '']
['"I understood that there were some very strong objections against the', '']
['lady."', '']
['"And what arts did he use to separate them?"', '']
['"He did not talk to me of his own arts," said Fitzwilliam, smiling. "He', '']
['only told me what I have now told you."', '']
['Elizabeth made no answer, and walked on, her heart swelling with', '']
['indignation. After watching her a little, Fitzwilliam asked her why she', '']
['was so thoughtful.', '']
['"I am thinking of what you have been telling me," said she. "Your', '']
['cousin\'s conduct does not suit my feelings. Why was he to be the judge?"', '']
['"You are rather disposed to call his interference officious?"', '']
['"I do not see what right Mr. Darcy had to decide on the propriety of his', '']
["friend's inclination, or why, upon his own judgement alone, he was to", '']
['determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy.', '']
['But," she continued, recollecting herself, "as we know none of the', '']
['particulars, it is not fair to condemn him. It is not to be supposed', '']
['that there was much affection in the case."', '']
['"That is not an unnatural surmise," said Fitzwilliam, "but it is a', '']
['lessening of the honour of my cousin\'s triumph very sadly."', '']
['This was spoken jestingly; but it appeared to her so just a picture', '']
['of Mr. Darcy, that she would not trust herself with an answer, and', '']
['therefore, abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent', '']
['matters until they reached the Parsonage. There, shut into her own room,', '']
['as soon as their visitor left them, she could think without interruption', '']
['of all that she had heard. It was not to be supposed that any other', '']
['people could be meant than those with whom she was connected. There', '']
['could not exist in the world _two_ men over whom Mr. Darcy could have', '']
['such boundless influence. That he had been concerned in the measures', '']
['taken to separate Bingley and Jane she had never doubted; but she had', '']
['always attributed to Miss Bingley the principal design and arrangement', '']
['of them. If his own vanity, however, did not mislead him, _he_ was', '']
['the cause, his pride and caprice were the cause, of all that Jane had', '']
['suffered, and still continued to suffer. He had ruined for a while', '']
['every hope of happiness for the most affectionate, generous heart in the', '']
['world; and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted.', '']
['"There were some very strong objections against the lady," were Colonel', '']
["Fitzwilliam's words; and those strong objections probably were, her", '']
['having one uncle who was a country attorney, and another who was in', '']
['business in London.', '']
['"To Jane herself," she exclaimed, "there could be no possibility of', '']
['objection; all loveliness and goodness as she is!--her understanding', '']
['excellent, her mind improved, and her manners captivating. Neither', '']
['could anything be urged against my father, who, though with some', '']
['peculiarities, has abilities Mr. Darcy himself need not disdain, and', '']
['respectability which he will probably never reach." When she thought of', '']
['her mother, her confidence gave way a little; but she would not allow', '']
['that any objections _there_ had material weight with Mr. Darcy, whose', '']
['pride, she was convinced, would receive a deeper wound from the want of', '']
["importance in his friend's connections, than from their want of sense;", '']
['and she was quite decided, at last, that he had been partly governed', '']
['by this worst kind of pride, and partly by the wish of retaining Mr.', '']
['Bingley for his sister.', '']
['The agitation and tears which the subject occasioned, brought on a', '']
['headache; and it grew so much worse towards the evening, that, added to', '']
['her unwillingness to see Mr. Darcy, it determined her not to attend her', '']
['cousins to Rosings, where they were engaged to drink tea. Mrs. Collins,', '']
['seeing that she was really unwell, did not press her to go and as much', '']
['as possible prevented her husband from pressing her; but Mr. Collins', '']
["could not conceal his apprehension of Lady Catherine's being rather", '']
['displeased by her staying at home.', '']
['Chapter 34', '']
['When they were gone, Elizabeth, as if intending to exasperate herself', '']
['as much as possible against Mr. Darcy, chose for her employment the', '']
['examination of all the letters which Jane had written to her since her', '']
['being in Kent. They contained no actual complaint, nor was there any', '']
['revival of past occurrences, or any communication of present suffering.', '']
['But in all, and in almost every line of each, there was a want of that', '']
['cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style, and which,', '']
['proceeding from the serenity of a mind at ease with itself and kindly', '']
['disposed towards everyone, had been scarcely ever clouded. Elizabeth', '']
['noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness, with an', '']
["attention which it had hardly received on the first perusal. Mr. Darcy's", '']
['shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict, gave her', '']
["a keener sense of her sister's sufferings. It was some consolation", '']
['to think that his visit to Rosings was to end on the day after the', '']
['next--and, a still greater, that in less than a fortnight she should', '']
['herself be with Jane again, and enabled to contribute to the recovery of', '']
['her spirits, by all that affection could do.', '']
["She could not think of Darcy's leaving Kent without remembering that", '']
['his cousin was to go with him; but Colonel Fitzwilliam had made it clear', '']
['that he had no intentions at all, and agreeable as he was, she did not', '']
['mean to be unhappy about him.', '']
['While settling this point, she was suddenly roused by the sound of the', '']
['door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its', '']
['being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in', '']
['the evening, and might now come to inquire particularly after her.', '']
['But this idea was soon banished, and her spirits were very differently', '']
['affected, when, to her utter amazement, she saw Mr. Darcy walk into the', '']
['room. In an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her', '']
['health, imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better.', '']
['She answered him with cold civility. He sat down for a few moments, and', '']
['then getting up, walked about the room. Elizabeth was surprised, but', '']
['said not a word. After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her', '']
['in an agitated manner, and thus began:', '']
['"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be', '']
['repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love', '']
['you."', '']
["Elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured,", '']
['doubted, and was silent. This he considered sufficient encouragement;', '']
['and the avowal of all that he felt, and had long felt for her,', '']
['immediately followed. He spoke well; but there were feelings besides', '']
['those of the heart to be detailed; and he was not more eloquent on the', '']
['subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority--of', '']
['its being a degradation--of the family obstacles which had always', '']
['opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to', '']
['the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his', '']
['suit.', '']
['In spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to', '']
["the compliment of such a man's affection, and though her intentions did", '']
['not vary for an instant, she was at first sorry for the pain he was to', '']
['receive; till, roused to resentment by his subsequent language, she', '']
['lost all compassion in anger. She tried, however, to compose herself to', '']
['answer him with patience, when he should have done. He concluded with', '']
['representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite', '']
['of all his endeavours, he had found impossible to conquer; and with', '']
['expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of', '']
['his hand. As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt', '']
['of a favourable answer. He _spoke_ of apprehension and anxiety, but', '']
['his countenance expressed real security. Such a circumstance could', '']
['only exasperate farther, and, when he ceased, the colour rose into her', '']
['cheeks, and she said:', '']
['"In such cases as this, it is, I believe, the established mode to', '']
['express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed, however', '']
['unequally they may be returned. It is natural that obligation should', '']
['be felt, and if I could _feel_ gratitude, I would now thank you. But I', '']
['cannot--I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly', '']
['bestowed it most unwillingly. I am sorry to have occasioned pain to', '']
['anyone. It has been most unconsciously done, however, and I hope will be', '']
['of short duration. The feelings which, you tell me, have long prevented', '']
['the acknowledgment of your regard, can have little difficulty in', '']
['overcoming it after this explanation."', '']
['Mr. Darcy, who was leaning against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed', '']
['on her face, seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than', '']
['surprise. His complexion became pale with anger, and the disturbance', '']
['of his mind was visible in every feature. He was struggling for the', '']
['appearance of composure, and would not open his lips till he believed', '']
["himself to have attained it. The pause was to Elizabeth's feelings", '']
['dreadful. At length, with a voice of forced calmness, he said:', '']
['"And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting!', '']
['I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little _endeavour_ at', '']
['civility, I am thus rejected. But it is of small importance."', '']
['"I might as well inquire," replied she, "why with so evident a desire', '']
['of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me', '']
['against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?', '']
['Was not this some excuse for incivility, if I _was_ uncivil? But I have', '']
['other provocations. You know I have. Had not my feelings decided against', '']
['you--had they been indifferent, or had they even been favourable, do you', '']
['think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has', '']
['been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most', '']
['beloved sister?"', '']
['As she pronounced these words, Mr. Darcy changed colour; but the emotion', '']
['was short, and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she', '']
['continued:', '']
['"I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. No motive can', '']
['excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted _there_. You dare not,', '']
['you cannot deny, that you have been the principal, if not the only means', '']
['of dividing them from each other--of exposing one to the censure of the', '']
['world for caprice and instability, and the other to its derision for', '']
['disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest', '']
['kind."', '']
['She paused, and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening', '']
['with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse.', '']
['He even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity.', '']
['"Can you deny that you have done it?" she repeated.', '']
['With assumed tranquillity he then replied: "I have no wish of denying', '']
['that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your', '']
['sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards _him_ I have been', '']
['kinder than towards myself."', '']
['Elizabeth disdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection,', '']
['but its meaning did not escape, nor was it likely to conciliate her.', '']
['"But it is not merely this affair," she continued, "on which my dislike', '']
['is founded. Long before it had taken place my opinion of you was', '']
['decided. Your character was unfolded in the recital which I received', '']
['many months ago from Mr. Wickham. On this subject, what can you have to', '']
['say? In what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself?', '']
['or under what misrepresentation can you here impose upon others?"', '']
['"You take an eager interest in that gentleman\'s concerns," said Darcy,', '']
['in a less tranquil tone, and with a heightened colour.', '']
['"Who that knows what his misfortunes have been, can help feeling an', '']
['interest in him?"', '']
['"His misfortunes!" repeated Darcy contemptuously; "yes, his misfortunes', '']
['have been great indeed."', '']
['"And of your infliction," cried Elizabeth with energy. "You have reduced', '']
['him to his present state of poverty--comparative poverty. You have', '']
['withheld the advantages which you must know to have been designed for', '']
['him. You have deprived the best years of his life of that independence', '']
['which was no less his due than his desert. You have done all this!', '']
['and yet you can treat the mention of his misfortune with contempt and', '']
['ridicule."', '']
['"And this," cried Darcy, as he walked with quick steps across the room,', '']
['"is your opinion of me! This is the estimation in which you hold me!', '']
['I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this', '']
['calculation, are heavy indeed! But perhaps," added he, stopping in', '']
['his walk, and turning towards her, "these offenses might have been', '']
['overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the', '']
['scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design. These', '']
['bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had I, with greater', '']
['policy, concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of', '']
['my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination; by reason, by', '']
['reflection, by everything. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence.', '']
['Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and', '']
['just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your', '']
['connections?--to congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose', '']
['condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"', '']
['Elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment; yet she tried to', '']
['the utmost to speak with composure when she said:', '']
['"You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your', '']
['declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern', '']
['which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more', '']
['gentlemanlike manner."', '']
['She saw him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued:', '']
['"You could not have made the offer of your hand in any possible way that', '']
['would have tempted me to accept it."', '']
['Again his astonishment was obvious; and he looked at her with an', '']
['expression of mingled incredulity and mortification. She went on:', '']
['"From the very beginning--from the first moment, I may almost say--of', '']
['my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest', '']
['belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of', '']
['the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of', '']
['disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a', '']
['dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the', '']
['last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."', '']
['"You have said quite enough, madam. I perfectly comprehend your', '']
['feelings, and have now only to be ashamed of what my own have been.', '']
['Forgive me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept my best', '']
['wishes for your health and happiness."', '']
['And with these words he hastily left the room, and Elizabeth heard him', '']
['the next moment open the front door and quit the house.', '']
['The tumult of her mind, was now painfully great. She knew not how', '']
['to support herself, and from actual weakness sat down and cried for', '']
['half-an-hour. Her astonishment, as she reflected on what had passed,', '']
['was increased by every review of it. That she should receive an offer of', '']
['marriage from Mr. Darcy! That he should have been in love with her for', '']
['so many months! So much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of', '']
["all the objections which had made him prevent his friend's marrying", '']
['her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his', '']
['own case--was almost incredible! It was gratifying to have inspired', '']
['unconsciously so strong an affection. But his pride, his abominable', '']
['pride--his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to', '']
['Jane--his unpardonable assurance in acknowledging, though he could', '']
['not justify it, and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned Mr.', '']
['Wickham, his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon', '']
['overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for', '']
['a moment excited. She continued in very agitated reflections till the', '']
["sound of Lady Catherine's carriage made her feel how unequal she was to", '']
["encounter Charlotte's observation, and hurried her away to her room.", '']
['Chapter 35', '']
['Elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations', '']
['which had at length closed her eyes. She could not yet recover from the', '']
['surprise of what had happened; it was impossible to think of anything', '']
['else; and, totally indisposed for employment, she resolved, soon after', '']
['breakfast, to indulge herself in air and exercise. She was proceeding', '']
["directly to her favourite walk, when the recollection of Mr. Darcy's", '']
['sometimes coming there stopped her, and instead of entering the park,', '']
['she turned up the lane, which led farther from the turnpike-road. The', '']
['park paling was still the boundary on one side, and she soon passed one', '']
['of the gates into the ground.', '']
['After walking two or three times along that part of the lane, she was', '']
['tempted, by the pleasantness of the morning, to stop at the gates and', '']
['look into the park. The five weeks which she had now passed in Kent had', '']
['made a great difference in the country, and every day was adding to the', '']
['verdure of the early trees. She was on the point of continuing her walk,', '']
['when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which', '']
['edged the park; he was moving that way; and, fearful of its being Mr.', '']
['Darcy, she was directly retreating. But the person who advanced was now', '']
['near enough to see her, and stepping forward with eagerness, pronounced', '']
['her name. She had turned away; but on hearing herself called, though', '']
['in a voice which proved it to be Mr. Darcy, she moved again towards the', '']
['gate. He had by that time reached it also, and, holding out a letter,', '']
['which she instinctively took, said, with a look of haughty composure,', '']
['"I have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you.', '']
['Will you do me the honour of reading that letter?" And then, with a', '']
['slight bow, turned again into the plantation, and was soon out of sight.', '']
['With no expectation of pleasure, but with the strongest curiosity,', '']
['Elizabeth opened the letter, and, to her still increasing wonder,', '']
['perceived an envelope containing two sheets of letter-paper, written', '']
['quite through, in a very close hand. The envelope itself was likewise', '']
['full. Pursuing her way along the lane, she then began it. It was dated', '']
["from Rosings, at eight o'clock in the morning, and was as follows:--", '']
['"Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension', '']
['of its containing any repetition of those sentiments or renewal of those', '']
['offers which were last night so disgusting to you. I write without any', '']
['intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes', '']
['which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon forgotten; and the', '']
['effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion,', '']
['should have been spared, had not my character required it to be written', '']
['and read. You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I demand', '']
['your attention; your feelings, I know, will bestow it unwillingly, but I', '']
['demand it of your justice.', '']
['"Two offenses of a very different nature, and by no means of equal', '']
['magnitude, you last night laid to my charge. The first mentioned was,', '']
['that, regardless of the sentiments of either, I had detached Mr. Bingley', '']
['from your sister, and the other, that I had, in defiance of various', '']
['claims, in defiance of honour and humanity, ruined the immediate', '']
['prosperity and blasted the prospects of Mr. Wickham. Wilfully and', '']
['wantonly to have thrown off the companion of my youth, the acknowledged', '']
['favourite of my father, a young man who had scarcely any other', '']
['dependence than on our patronage, and who had been brought up to expect', '']
['its exertion, would be a depravity, to which the separation of two young', '']
['persons, whose affection could be the growth of only a few weeks, could', '']
['bear no comparison. But from the severity of that blame which was last', '']
['night so liberally bestowed, respecting each circumstance, I shall hope', '']
['to be in the future secured, when the following account of my actions', '']
['and their motives has been read. If, in the explanation of them, which', '']
['is due to myself, I am under the necessity of relating feelings which', '']
['may be offensive to yours, I can only say that I am sorry. The necessity', '']
['must be obeyed, and further apology would be absurd.', '']
['"I had not been long in Hertfordshire, before I saw, in common with', '']
['others, that Bingley preferred your elder sister to any other young', '']
['woman in the country. But it was not till the evening of the dance', '']
['at Netherfield that I had any apprehension of his feeling a serious', '']
['attachment. I had often seen him in love before. At that ball, while I', '']
['had the honour of dancing with you, I was first made acquainted, by Sir', '']
["William Lucas's accidental information, that Bingley's attentions to", '']
['your sister had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage.', '']
['He spoke of it as a certain event, of which the time alone could', '']
["be undecided. From that moment I observed my friend's behaviour", '']
['attentively; and I could then perceive that his partiality for Miss', '']
['Bennet was beyond what I had ever witnessed in him. Your sister I also', '']
['watched. Her look and manners were open, cheerful, and engaging as ever,', '']
['but without any symptom of peculiar regard, and I remained convinced', '']
["from the evening's scrutiny, that though she received his attentions", '']
['with pleasure, she did not invite them by any participation of', '']
['sentiment. If _you_ have not been mistaken here, _I_ must have been', '']
['in error. Your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter', '']
['probable. If it be so, if I have been misled by such error to inflict', '']
['pain on her, your resentment has not been unreasonable. But I shall not', '']
["scruple to assert, that the serenity of your sister's countenance and", '']
['air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction', '']
['that, however amiable her temper, her heart was not likely to be', '']
['easily touched. That I was desirous of believing her indifferent is', '']
['certain--but I will venture to say that my investigation and decisions', '']
['are not usually influenced by my hopes or fears. I did not believe', '']
['her to be indifferent because I wished it; I believed it on impartial', '']
['conviction, as truly as I wished it in reason. My objections to the', '']
['marriage were not merely those which I last night acknowledged to have', '']
['the utmost force of passion to put aside, in my own case; the want of', '']
['connection could not be so great an evil to my friend as to me. But', '']
['there were other causes of repugnance; causes which, though still', '']
['existing, and existing to an equal degree in both instances, I had', '']
['myself endeavoured to forget, because they were not immediately before', '']
['me. These causes must be stated, though briefly. The situation of your', '']
["mother's family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison to that", '']
['total want of propriety so frequently, so almost uniformly betrayed by', '']
['herself, by your three younger sisters, and occasionally even by your', '']
['father. Pardon me. It pains me to offend you. But amidst your concern', '']
['for the defects of your nearest relations, and your displeasure at this', '']
['representation of them, let it give you consolation to consider that, to', '']
['have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure,', '']
['is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your elder sister, than', '']
['it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both. I will only say', '']
['farther that from what passed that evening, my opinion of all parties', '']
['was confirmed, and every inducement heightened which could have led', '']
['me before, to preserve my friend from what I esteemed a most unhappy', '']
['connection. He left Netherfield for London, on the day following, as', '']
['you, I am certain, remember, with the design of soon returning.', '']
['"The part which I acted is now to be explained. His sisters\' uneasiness', '']
['had been equally excited with my own; our coincidence of feeling was', '']
['soon discovered, and, alike sensible that no time was to be lost in', '']
['detaching their brother, we shortly resolved on joining him directly in', '']
['London. We accordingly went--and there I readily engaged in the office', '']
['of pointing out to my friend the certain evils of such a choice. I', '']
['described, and enforced them earnestly. But, however this remonstrance', '']
['might have staggered or delayed his determination, I do not suppose', '']
['that it would ultimately have prevented the marriage, had it not been', '']
['seconded by the assurance that I hesitated not in giving, of your', '']
["sister's indifference. He had before believed her to return his", '']
['affection with sincere, if not with equal regard. But Bingley has great', '']
['natural modesty, with a stronger dependence on my judgement than on his', '']
['own. To convince him, therefore, that he had deceived himself, was', '']
['no very difficult point. To persuade him against returning into', '']
['Hertfordshire, when that conviction had been given, was scarcely the', '']
['work of a moment. I cannot blame myself for having done thus much. There', '']
['is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which I do not', '']
['reflect with satisfaction; it is that I condescended to adopt the', '']
["measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sister's being in", '']
['town. I knew it myself, as it was known to Miss Bingley; but her', '']
['brother is even yet ignorant of it. That they might have met without', '']
['ill consequence is perhaps probable; but his regard did not appear to me', '']
['enough extinguished for him to see her without some danger. Perhaps this', '']
['concealment, this disguise was beneath me; it is done, however, and it', '']
['was done for the best. On this subject I have nothing more to say, no', '']
["other apology to offer. If I have wounded your sister's feelings, it", '']
['was unknowingly done and though the motives which governed me may to', '']
['you very naturally appear insufficient, I have not yet learnt to condemn', '']
['them.', '']
['"With respect to that other, more weighty accusation, of having injured', '']
['Mr. Wickham, I can only refute it by laying before you the whole of his', '']
['connection with my family. Of what he has _particularly_ accused me I', '']
['am ignorant; but of the truth of what I shall relate, I can summon more', '']
['than one witness of undoubted veracity.', '']
['"Mr. Wickham is the son of a very respectable man, who had for many', '']
['years the management of all the Pemberley estates, and whose good', '']
['conduct in the discharge of his trust naturally inclined my father to', '']
['be of service to him; and on George Wickham, who was his godson, his', '']
['kindness was therefore liberally bestowed. My father supported him at', '']
['school, and afterwards at Cambridge--most important assistance, as his', '']
['own father, always poor from the extravagance of his wife, would have', '']
["been unable to give him a gentleman's education. My father was not only", '']
["fond of this young man's society, whose manners were always engaging; he", '']
['had also the highest opinion of him, and hoping the church would be', '']
['his profession, intended to provide for him in it. As for myself, it is', '']
['many, many years since I first began to think of him in a very different', '']
['manner. The vicious propensities--the want of principle, which he was', '']
['careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend, could not escape', '']
['the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself,', '']
['and who had opportunities of seeing him in unguarded moments, which Mr.', '']
['Darcy could not have. Here again I shall give you pain--to what degree', '']
['you only can tell. But whatever may be the sentiments which Mr. Wickham', '']
['has created, a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from', '']
['unfolding his real character--it adds even another motive.', '']
['"My excellent father died about five years ago; and his attachment to', '']
['Mr. Wickham was to the last so steady, that in his will he particularly', '']
['recommended it to me, to promote his advancement in the best manner', '']
['that his profession might allow--and if he took orders, desired that a', '']
['valuable family living might be his as soon as it became vacant. There', '']
['was also a legacy of one thousand pounds. His own father did not long', '']
['survive mine, and within half a year from these events, Mr. Wickham', '']
['wrote to inform me that, having finally resolved against taking orders,', '']
['he hoped I should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more', '']
['immediate pecuniary advantage, in lieu of the preferment, by which he', '']
['could not be benefited. He had some intention, he added, of studying', '']
['law, and I must be aware that the interest of one thousand pounds would', '']
['be a very insufficient support therein. I rather wished, than believed', '']
['him to be sincere; but, at any rate, was perfectly ready to accede to', '']
['his proposal. I knew that Mr. Wickham ought not to be a clergyman; the', '']
['business was therefore soon settled--he resigned all claim to assistance', '']
['in the church, were it possible that he could ever be in a situation to', '']
['receive it, and accepted in return three thousand pounds. All connection', '']
['between us seemed now dissolved. I thought too ill of him to invite him', '']
['to Pemberley, or admit his society in town. In town I believe he chiefly', '']
['lived, but his studying the law was a mere pretence, and being now free', '']
['from all restraint, his life was a life of idleness and dissipation.', '']
['For about three years I heard little of him; but on the decease of the', '']
['incumbent of the living which had been designed for him, he applied to', '']
['me again by letter for the presentation. His circumstances, he assured', '']
['me, and I had no difficulty in believing it, were exceedingly bad. He', '']
['had found the law a most unprofitable study, and was now absolutely', '']
['resolved on being ordained, if I would present him to the living in', '']
['question--of which he trusted there could be little doubt, as he was', '']
['well assured that I had no other person to provide for, and I could not', '']
["have forgotten my revered father's intentions. You will hardly blame", '']
['me for refusing to comply with this entreaty, or for resisting every', '']
['repetition to it. His resentment was in proportion to the distress of', '']
['his circumstances--and he was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me', '']
['to others as in his reproaches to myself. After this period every', '']
['appearance of acquaintance was dropped. How he lived I know not. But', '']
['last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice.', '']
['"I must now mention a circumstance which I would wish to forget myself,', '']
['and which no obligation less than the present should induce me to unfold', '']
['to any human being. Having said thus much, I feel no doubt of your', '']
['secrecy. My sister, who is more than ten years my junior, was left to', '']
["the guardianship of my mother's nephew, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and myself.", '']
['About a year ago, she was taken from school, and an establishment formed', '']
['for her in London; and last summer she went with the lady who presided', '']
['over it, to Ramsgate; and thither also went Mr. Wickham, undoubtedly by', '']
['design; for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him', '']
['and Mrs. Younge, in whose character we were most unhappily deceived; and', '']
['by her connivance and aid, he so far recommended himself to Georgiana,', '']
['whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to', '']
['her as a child, that she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and', '']
['to consent to an elopement. She was then but fifteen, which must be her', '']
['excuse; and after stating her imprudence, I am happy to add, that I owed', '']
['the knowledge of it to herself. I joined them unexpectedly a day or two', '']
['before the intended elopement, and then Georgiana, unable to support the', '']
['idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as', '']
['a father, acknowledged the whole to me. You may imagine what I felt and', '']
["how I acted. Regard for my sister's credit and feelings prevented", '']
['any public exposure; but I wrote to Mr. Wickham, who left the place', '']
['immediately, and Mrs. Younge was of course removed from her charge. Mr.', '']
["Wickham's chief object was unquestionably my sister's fortune, which", '']
['is thirty thousand pounds; but I cannot help supposing that the hope of', '']
['revenging himself on me was a strong inducement. His revenge would have', '']
['been complete indeed.', '']
['"This, madam, is a faithful narrative of every event in which we have', '']
['been concerned together; and if you do not absolutely reject it as', '']
['false, you will, I hope, acquit me henceforth of cruelty towards Mr.', '']
['Wickham. I know not in what manner, under what form of falsehood he', '']
['had imposed on you; but his success is not perhaps to be wondered', '']
['at. Ignorant as you previously were of everything concerning either,', '']
['detection could not be in your power, and suspicion certainly not in', '']
['your inclination.', '']
['"You may possibly wonder why all this was not told you last night; but', '']
['I was not then master enough of myself to know what could or ought to', '']
['be revealed. For the truth of everything here related, I can appeal more', '']
['particularly to the testimony of Colonel Fitzwilliam, who, from our', '']
['near relationship and constant intimacy, and, still more, as one of', '']
["the executors of my father's will, has been unavoidably acquainted", '']
['with every particular of these transactions. If your abhorrence of _me_', '']
['should make _my_ assertions valueless, you cannot be prevented by', '']
['the same cause from confiding in my cousin; and that there may be', '']
['the possibility of consulting him, I shall endeavour to find some', '']
['opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the', '']
['morning. I will only add, God bless you.', '']
['"FITZWILLIAM DARCY"', '']
['Chapter 36', '']
['If Elizabeth, when Mr. Darcy gave her the letter, did not expect it to', '']
['contain a renewal of his offers, she had formed no expectation at all of', '']
['its contents. But such as they were, it may well be supposed how eagerly', '']
['she went through them, and what a contrariety of emotion they excited.', '']
['Her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined. With amazement did', '']
['she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power;', '']
['and steadfastly was she persuaded, that he could have no explanation', '']
['to give, which a just sense of shame would not conceal. With a strong', '']
['prejudice against everything he might say, she began his account of what', '']
['had happened at Netherfield. She read with an eagerness which hardly', '']
['left her power of comprehension, and from impatience of knowing what the', '']
['next sentence might bring, was incapable of attending to the sense of', '']
["the one before her eyes. His belief of her sister's insensibility she", '']
['instantly resolved to be false; and his account of the real, the worst', '']
['objections to the match, made her too angry to have any wish of doing', '']
['him justice. He expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied', '']
['her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride and', '']
['insolence.', '']
['But when this subject was succeeded by his account of Mr. Wickham--when', '']
['she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which,', '']
['if true, must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth, and which', '']
['bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himself--her', '']
['feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition.', '']
['Astonishment, apprehension, and even horror, oppressed her. She wished', '']
['to discredit it entirely, repeatedly exclaiming, "This must be false!', '']
['This cannot be! This must be the grossest falsehood!"--and when she had', '']
['gone through the whole letter, though scarcely knowing anything of the', '']
['last page or two, put it hastily away, protesting that she would not', '']
['regard it, that she would never look in it again.', '']
['In this perturbed state of mind, with thoughts that could rest on', '']
['nothing, she walked on; but it would not do; in half a minute the letter', '']
['was unfolded again, and collecting herself as well as she could, she', '']
['again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to Wickham, and', '']
['commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence.', '']
['The account of his connection with the Pemberley family was exactly what', '']
['he had related himself; and the kindness of the late Mr. Darcy, though', '']
['she had not before known its extent, agreed equally well with his own', '']
['words. So far each recital confirmed the other; but when she came to the', '']
['will, the difference was great. What Wickham had said of the living', '']
['was fresh in her memory, and as she recalled his very words, it was', '']
['impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the', '']
['other; and, for a few moments, she flattered herself that her wishes did', '']
['not err. But when she read and re-read with the closest attention, the', '']
["particulars immediately following of Wickham's resigning all pretensions", '']
['to the living, of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three', '']
['thousand pounds, again was she forced to hesitate. She put down', '']
['the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be', '']
['impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with', '']
['little success. On both sides it was only assertion. Again she read', '']
['on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had', '']
['believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to', '']
["render Mr. Darcy's conduct in it less than infamous, was capable of a", '']
['turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.', '']
['The extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at', '']
["Mr. Wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her; the more so, as she could", '']
['bring no proof of its injustice. She had never heard of him before his', '']
['entrance into the ----shire Militia, in which he had engaged at the', '']
['persuasion of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally in town,', '']
['had there renewed a slight acquaintance. Of his former way of life', '']
['nothing had been known in Hertfordshire but what he told himself. As', '']
['to his real character, had information been in her power, she had', '']
['never felt a wish of inquiring. His countenance, voice, and manner had', '']
['established him at once in the possession of every virtue. She tried', '']
['to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of', '']
['integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of', '']
['Mr. Darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those', '']
['casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what Mr. Darcy', '']
["had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance. But", '']
['no such recollection befriended her. She could see him instantly before', '']
['her, in every charm of air and address; but she could remember no more', '']
['substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood, and', '']
['the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess. After', '']
['pausing on this point a considerable while, she once more continued to', '']
['read. But, alas! the story which followed, of his designs on Miss', '']
['Darcy, received some confirmation from what had passed between Colonel', '']
['Fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before; and at last she was', '']
['referred for the truth of every particular to Colonel Fitzwilliam', '']
['himself--from whom she had previously received the information of his', '']
["near concern in all his cousin's affairs, and whose character she had no", '']
['reason to question. At one time she had almost resolved on applying to', '']
['him, but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application, and', '']
['at length wholly banished by the conviction that Mr. Darcy would never', '']
['have hazarded such a proposal, if he had not been well assured of his', '']
["cousin's corroboration.", '']
['She perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation', '']
["between Wickham and herself, in their first evening at Mr. Phillips's.", '']
['Many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory. She was _now_', '']
['struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger, and', '']
['wondered it had escaped her before. She saw the indelicacy of putting', '']
['himself forward as he had done, and the inconsistency of his professions', '']
['with his conduct. She remembered that he had boasted of having no fear', '']
['of seeing Mr. Darcy--that Mr. Darcy might leave the country, but that', '']
['_he_ should stand his ground; yet he had avoided the Netherfield ball', '']
['the very next week. She remembered also that, till the Netherfield', '']
['family had quitted the country, he had told his story to no one but', '']
['herself; but that after their removal it had been everywhere discussed;', '']
["that he had then no reserves, no scruples in sinking Mr. Darcy's", '']
['character, though he had assured her that respect for the father would', '']
['always prevent his exposing the son.', '']
['How differently did everything now appear in which he was concerned!', '']
['His attentions to Miss King were now the consequence of views solely and', '']
['hatefully mercenary; and the mediocrity of her fortune proved no longer', '']
['the moderation of his wishes, but his eagerness to grasp at anything.', '']
['His behaviour to herself could now have had no tolerable motive; he had', '']
['either been deceived with regard to her fortune, or had been gratifying', '']
['his vanity by encouraging the preference which she believed she had most', '']
['incautiously shown. Every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter', '']
['and fainter; and in farther justification of Mr. Darcy, she could not', '']
['but allow that Mr. Bingley, when questioned by Jane, had long ago', '']
['asserted his blamelessness in the affair; that proud and repulsive as', '']
['were his manners, she had never, in the whole course of their', '']
['acquaintance--an acquaintance which had latterly brought them much', '']
['together, and given her a sort of intimacy with his ways--seen anything', '']
['that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjust--anything that spoke him', '']
['of irreligious or immoral habits; that among his own connections he was', '']
['esteemed and valued--that even Wickham had allowed him merit as a', '']
['brother, and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his', '']
['sister as to prove him capable of _some_ amiable feeling; that had his', '']
['actions been what Mr. Wickham represented them, so gross a violation of', '']
['everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world; and', '']
['that friendship between a person capable of it, and such an amiable man', '']
['as Mr. Bingley, was incomprehensible.', '']
['She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. Of neither Darcy nor Wickham', '']
['could she think without feeling she had been blind, partial, prejudiced,', '']
['absurd.', '']
['"How despicably I have acted!" she cried; "I, who have prided myself', '']
['on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have', '']
['often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified', '']
['my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! How humiliating is this', '']
['discovery! Yet, how just a humiliation! Had I been in love, I could', '']
['not have been more wretchedly blind! But vanity, not love, has been my', '']
['folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect', '']
['of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted', '']
['prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were', '']
['concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself."', '']
['From herself to Jane--from Jane to Bingley, her thoughts were in a line', '']
["which soon brought to her recollection that Mr. Darcy's explanation", '']
['_there_ had appeared very insufficient, and she read it again. Widely', '']
['different was the effect of a second perusal. How could she deny that', '']
['credit to his assertions in one instance, which she had been obliged to', '']
['give in the other? He declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her', '']
["sister's attachment; and she could not help remembering what Charlotte's", '']
['opinion had always been. Neither could she deny the justice of his', '']
["description of Jane. She felt that Jane's feelings, though fervent, were", '']
['little displayed, and that there was a constant complacency in her air', '']
['and manner not often united with great sensibility.', '']
['When she came to that part of the letter in which her family were', '']
['mentioned in terms of such mortifying, yet merited reproach, her sense', '']
['of shame was severe. The justice of the charge struck her too forcibly', '']
['for denial, and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as', '']
['having passed at the Netherfield ball, and as confirming all his first', '']
['disapprobation, could not have made a stronger impression on his mind', '']
['than on hers.', '']
['The compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt. It soothed,', '']
['but it could not console her for the contempt which had thus been', '']
['self-attracted by the rest of her family; and as she considered', '']
["that Jane's disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest", '']
['relations, and reflected how materially the credit of both must be hurt', '']
['by such impropriety of conduct, she felt depressed beyond anything she', '']
['had ever known before.', '']
['After wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every', '']
['variety of thought--re-considering events, determining probabilities,', '']
['and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a change so sudden and', '']
['so important, fatigue, and a recollection of her long absence, made', '']
['her at length return home; and she entered the house with the wish', '']
['of appearing cheerful as usual, and the resolution of repressing such', '']
['reflections as must make her unfit for conversation.', '']
['She was immediately told that the two gentlemen from Rosings had each', '']
['called during her absence; Mr. Darcy, only for a few minutes, to take', '']
['leave--but that Colonel Fitzwilliam had been sitting with them at least', '']
['an hour, hoping for her return, and almost resolving to walk after her', '']
['till she could be found. Elizabeth could but just _affect_ concern', '']
['in missing him; she really rejoiced at it. Colonel Fitzwilliam was no', '']
['longer an object; she could think only of her letter.', '']
['Chapter 37', '']
['The two gentlemen left Rosings the next morning, and Mr. Collins having', '']
['been in waiting near the lodges, to make them his parting obeisance, was', '']
['able to bring home the pleasing intelligence, of their appearing in very', '']
['good health, and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected, after the', '']
['melancholy scene so lately gone through at Rosings. To Rosings he then', '']
['hastened, to console Lady Catherine and her daughter; and on his return', '']
['brought back, with great satisfaction, a message from her ladyship,', '']
['importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of', '']
['having them all to dine with her.', '']
['Elizabeth could not see Lady Catherine without recollecting that, had', '']
['she chosen it, she might by this time have been presented to her as', '']
['her future niece; nor could she think, without a smile, of what her', '']
['ladyship\'s indignation would have been. "What would she have said? how', '']
['would she have behaved?" were questions with which she amused herself.', '']
['Their first subject was the diminution of the Rosings party. "I assure', '']
['you, I feel it exceedingly," said Lady Catherine; "I believe no one', '']
['feels the loss of friends so much as I do. But I am particularly', '']
['attached to these young men, and know them to be so much attached to', '']
['me! They were excessively sorry to go! But so they always are. The', '']
['dear Colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last; but Darcy', '']
['seemed to feel it most acutely, more, I think, than last year. His', '']
['attachment to Rosings certainly increases."', '']
['Mr. Collins had a compliment, and an allusion to throw in here, which', '']
['were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter.', '']
['Lady Catherine observed, after dinner, that Miss Bennet seemed out of', '']
['spirits, and immediately accounting for it by herself, by supposing that', '']
['she did not like to go home again so soon, she added:', '']
['"But if that is the case, you must write to your mother and beg that', '']
['you may stay a little longer. Mrs. Collins will be very glad of your', '']
['company, I am sure."', '']
['"I am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation," replied', '']
['Elizabeth, "but it is not in my power to accept it. I must be in town', '']
['next Saturday."', '']
['"Why, at that rate, you will have been here only six weeks. I expected', '']
['you to stay two months. I told Mrs. Collins so before you came. There', '']
['can be no occasion for your going so soon. Mrs. Bennet could certainly', '']
['spare you for another fortnight."', '']
['"But my father cannot. He wrote last week to hurry my return."', '']
['"Oh! your father of course may spare you, if your mother can. Daughters', '']
['are never of so much consequence to a father. And if you will stay', '']
['another _month_ complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as', '']
['far as London, for I am going there early in June, for a week; and as', '']
['Dawson does not object to the barouche-box, there will be very good room', '']
['for one of you--and indeed, if the weather should happen to be cool, I', '']
['should not object to taking you both, as you are neither of you large."', '']
['"You are all kindness, madam; but I believe we must abide by our', '']
['original plan."', '']
['Lady Catherine seemed resigned. "Mrs. Collins, you must send a servant', '']
['with them. You know I always speak my mind, and I cannot bear the idea', '']
['of two young women travelling post by themselves. It is highly improper.', '']
['You must contrive to send somebody. I have the greatest dislike in', '']
['the world to that sort of thing. Young women should always be properly', '']
['guarded and attended, according to their situation in life. When my', '']
['niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer, I made a point of her', '']
['having two men-servants go with her. Miss Darcy, the daughter of', '']
['Mr. Darcy, of Pemberley, and Lady Anne, could not have appeared with', '']
['propriety in a different manner. I am excessively attentive to all those', '']
['things. You must send John with the young ladies, Mrs. Collins. I', '']
['am glad it occurred to me to mention it; for it would really be', '']
['discreditable to _you_ to let them go alone."', '']
['"My uncle is to send a servant for us."', '']
['"Oh! Your uncle! He keeps a man-servant, does he? I am very glad you', '']
['have somebody who thinks of these things. Where shall you change horses?', '']
['Oh! Bromley, of course. If you mention my name at the Bell, you will be', '']
['attended to."', '']
['Lady Catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey,', '']
['and as she did not answer them all herself, attention was necessary,', '']
['which Elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a mind so', '']
['occupied, she might have forgotten where she was. Reflection must be', '']
['reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it', '']
['as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary', '']
['walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant', '']
['recollections.', '']
["Mr. Darcy's letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. She", '']
['studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at', '']
['times widely different. When she remembered the style of his address,', '']
['she was still full of indignation; but when she considered how unjustly', '']
['she had condemned and upbraided him, her anger was turned against', '']
['herself; and his disappointed feelings became the object of compassion.', '']
['His attachment excited gratitude, his general character respect; but she', '']
['could not approve him; nor could she for a moment repent her refusal,', '']
['or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again. In her own past', '']
['behaviour, there was a constant source of vexation and regret; and in', '']
['the unhappy defects of her family, a subject of yet heavier chagrin.', '']
['They were hopeless of remedy. Her father, contented with laughing at', '']
['them, would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his', '']
['youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right', '']
['herself, was entirely insensible of the evil. Elizabeth had frequently', '']
['united with Jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of Catherine', '']
["and Lydia; but while they were supported by their mother's indulgence,", '']
['what chance could there be of improvement? Catherine, weak-spirited,', '']
["irritable, and completely under Lydia's guidance, had been always", '']
['affronted by their advice; and Lydia, self-willed and careless, would', '']
['scarcely give them a hearing. They were ignorant, idle, and vain. While', '']
['there was an officer in Meryton, they would flirt with him; and while', '']
['Meryton was within a walk of Longbourn, they would be going there', '']
['forever.', '']
["Anxiety on Jane's behalf was another prevailing concern; and Mr. Darcy's", '']
['explanation, by restoring Bingley to all her former good opinion,', '']
['heightened the sense of what Jane had lost. His affection was proved', '']
['to have been sincere, and his conduct cleared of all blame, unless any', '']
['could attach to the implicitness of his confidence in his friend. How', '']
['grievous then was the thought that, of a situation so desirable in every', '']
['respect, so replete with advantage, so promising for happiness, Jane had', '']
['been deprived, by the folly and indecorum of her own family!', '']
["When to these recollections was added the development of Wickham's", '']
['character, it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had', '']
['seldom been depressed before, were now so much affected as to make it', '']
['almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful.', '']
['Their engagements at Rosings were as frequent during the last week of', '']
['her stay as they had been at first. The very last evening was spent', '']
['there; and her ladyship again inquired minutely into the particulars of', '']
['their journey, gave them directions as to the best method of packing,', '']
['and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right', '']
['way, that Maria thought herself obliged, on her return, to undo all the', '']
['work of the morning, and pack her trunk afresh.', '']
['When they parted, Lady Catherine, with great condescension, wished them', '']
['a good journey, and invited them to come to Hunsford again next year;', '']
['and Miss de Bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her', '']
['hand to both.', '']
['Chapter 38', '']
['On Saturday morning Elizabeth and Mr. Collins met for breakfast a few', '']
['minutes before the others appeared; and he took the opportunity of', '']
['paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably necessary.', '']
['"I know not, Miss Elizabeth," said he, "whether Mrs. Collins has yet', '']
['expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us; but I am very', '']
['certain you will not leave the house without receiving her thanks for', '']
['it. The favour of your company has been much felt, I assure you. We', '']
['know how little there is to tempt anyone to our humble abode. Our plain', '']
['manner of living, our small rooms and few domestics, and the little we', '']
['see of the world, must make Hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like', '']
['yourself; but I hope you will believe us grateful for the condescension,', '']
['and that we have done everything in our power to prevent your spending', '']
['your time unpleasantly."', '']
['Elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness. She', '']
['had spent six weeks with great enjoyment; and the pleasure of being with', '']
['Charlotte, and the kind attentions she had received, must make _her_', '']
['feel the obliged. Mr. Collins was gratified, and with a more smiling', '']
['solemnity replied:', '']
['"It gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not', '']
['disagreeably. We have certainly done our best; and most fortunately', '']
['having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society, and,', '']
['from our connection with Rosings, the frequent means of varying the', '']
['humble home scene, I think we may flatter ourselves that your Hunsford', '']
['visit cannot have been entirely irksome. Our situation with regard to', '']
["Lady Catherine's family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage", '']
['and blessing which few can boast. You see on what a footing we are. You', '']
['see how continually we are engaged there. In truth I must acknowledge', '']
['that, with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage, I should', '']
['not think anyone abiding in it an object of compassion, while they are', '']
['sharers of our intimacy at Rosings."', '']
['Words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings; and he was', '']
['obliged to walk about the room, while Elizabeth tried to unite civility', '']
['and truth in a few short sentences.', '']
['"You may, in fact, carry a very favourable report of us into', '']
['Hertfordshire, my dear cousin. I flatter myself at least that you will', '']
["be able to do so. Lady Catherine's great attentions to Mrs. Collins you", '']
['have been a daily witness of; and altogether I trust it does not appear', '']
['that your friend has drawn an unfortunate--but on this point it will be', '']
['as well to be silent. Only let me assure you, my dear Miss Elizabeth,', '']
['that I can from my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in', '']
['marriage. My dear Charlotte and I have but one mind and one way of', '']
['thinking. There is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of', '']
['character and ideas between us. We seem to have been designed for each', '']
['other."', '']
['Elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was', '']
['the case, and with equal sincerity could add, that she firmly believed', '']
['and rejoiced in his domestic comforts. She was not sorry, however, to', '']
['have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang.', '']
['Poor Charlotte! it was melancholy to leave her to such society! But she', '']
['had chosen it with her eyes open; and though evidently regretting that', '']
['her visitors were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion. Her', '']
['home and her housekeeping, her parish and her poultry, and all their', '']
['dependent concerns, had not yet lost their charms.', '']
['At length the chaise arrived, the trunks were fastened on, the parcels', '']
['placed within, and it was pronounced to be ready. After an affectionate', '']
['parting between the friends, Elizabeth was attended to the carriage by', '']
['Mr. Collins, and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her', '']
['with his best respects to all her family, not forgetting his thanks', '']
['for the kindness he had received at Longbourn in the winter, and his', '']
['compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, though unknown. He then handed her', '']
['in, Maria followed, and the door was on the point of being closed,', '']
['when he suddenly reminded them, with some consternation, that they had', '']
['hitherto forgotten to leave any message for the ladies at Rosings.', '']
['"But," he added, "you will of course wish to have your humble respects', '']
['delivered to them, with your grateful thanks for their kindness to you', '']
['while you have been here."', '']
['Elizabeth made no objection; the door was then allowed to be shut, and', '']
['the carriage drove off.', '']
['"Good gracious!" cried Maria, after a few minutes\' silence, "it seems', '']
['but a day or two since we first came! and yet how many things have', '']
['happened!"', '']
['"A great many indeed," said her companion with a sigh.', '']
['"We have dined nine times at Rosings, besides drinking tea there twice!', '']
['How much I shall have to tell!"', '']
['Elizabeth added privately, "And how much I shall have to conceal!"', '']
['Their journey was performed without much conversation, or any alarm; and', '']
["within four hours of their leaving Hunsford they reached Mr. Gardiner's", '']
['house, where they were to remain a few days.', '']
['Jane looked well, and Elizabeth had little opportunity of studying her', '']
['spirits, amidst the various engagements which the kindness of her', '']
['aunt had reserved for them. But Jane was to go home with her, and at', '']
['Longbourn there would be leisure enough for observation.', '']
['It was not without an effort, meanwhile, that she could wait even for', '']
["Longbourn, before she told her sister of Mr. Darcy's proposals. To know", '']
['that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish', '']
['Jane, and must, at the same time, so highly gratify whatever of her own', '']
['vanity she had not yet been able to reason away, was such a temptation', '']
['to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision', '']
['in which she remained as to the extent of what she should communicate;', '']
['and her fear, if she once entered on the subject, of being hurried', '']
['into repeating something of Bingley which might only grieve her sister', '']
['further.', '']
['Chapter 39', '']
['It was the second week in May, in which the three young ladies set out', '']
['together from Gracechurch Street for the town of ----, in Hertfordshire;', '']
["and, as they drew near the appointed inn where Mr. Bennet's carriage", '']
["was to meet them, they quickly perceived, in token of the coachman's", '']
['punctuality, both Kitty and Lydia looking out of a dining-room up stairs.', '']
['These two girls had been above an hour in the place, happily employed', '']
['in visiting an opposite milliner, watching the sentinel on guard, and', '']
['dressing a salad and cucumber.', '']
['After welcoming their sisters, they triumphantly displayed a table set', '']
['out with such cold meat as an inn larder usually affords, exclaiming,', '']
['"Is not this nice? Is not this an agreeable surprise?"', '']
['"And we mean to treat you all," added Lydia, "but you must lend us the', '']
['money, for we have just spent ours at the shop out there." Then, showing', '']
['her purchases--"Look here, I have bought this bonnet. I do not think', '']
['it is very pretty; but I thought I might as well buy it as not. I shall', '']
['pull it to pieces as soon as I get home, and see if I can make it up any', '']
['better."', '']
['And when her sisters abused it as ugly, she added, with perfect', '']
['unconcern, "Oh! but there were two or three much uglier in the shop; and', '']
['when I have bought some prettier-coloured satin to trim it with fresh, I', '']
['think it will be very tolerable. Besides, it will not much signify what', '']
['one wears this summer, after the ----shire have left Meryton, and they', '']
['are going in a fortnight."', '']
['"Are they indeed!" cried Elizabeth, with the greatest satisfaction.', '']
['"They are going to be encamped near Brighton; and I do so want papa to', '']
['take us all there for the summer! It would be such a delicious scheme;', '']
['and I dare say would hardly cost anything at all. Mamma would like to', '']
['go too of all things! Only think what a miserable summer else we shall', '']
['have!"', '']
['"Yes," thought Elizabeth, "_that_ would be a delightful scheme indeed,', '']
['and completely do for us at once. Good Heaven! Brighton, and a whole', '']
['campful of soldiers, to us, who have been overset already by one poor', '']
['regiment of militia, and the monthly balls of Meryton!"', '']
['"Now I have got some news for you," said Lydia, as they sat down at', '']
['table. "What do you think? It is excellent news--capital news--and about', '']
['a certain person we all like!"', '']
['Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and the waiter was told he need', '']
['not stay. Lydia laughed, and said:', '']
['"Aye, that is just like your formality and discretion. You thought the', '']
['waiter must not hear, as if he cared! I dare say he often hears worse', '']
['things said than I am going to say. But he is an ugly fellow! I am glad', '']
['he is gone. I never saw such a long chin in my life. Well, but now for', '']
['my news; it is about dear Wickham; too good for the waiter, is it not?', '']
["There is no danger of Wickham's marrying Mary King. There's for you! She", '']
['is gone down to her uncle at Liverpool: gone to stay. Wickham is safe."', '']
['"And Mary King is safe!" added Elizabeth; "safe from a connection', '']
['imprudent as to fortune."', '']
['"She is a great fool for going away, if she liked him."', '']
['"But I hope there is no strong attachment on either side," said Jane.', '']
['"I am sure there is not on _his_. I will answer for it, he never cared', '']
['three straws about her--who could about such a nasty little freckled', '']
['thing?"', '']
['Elizabeth was shocked to think that, however incapable of such', '']
['coarseness of _expression_ herself, the coarseness of the _sentiment_', '']
['was little other than her own breast had harboured and fancied liberal!', '']
['As soon as all had ate, and the elder ones paid, the carriage was', '']
['ordered; and after some contrivance, the whole party, with all their', '']
["boxes, work-bags, and parcels, and the unwelcome addition of Kitty's and", '']
["Lydia's purchases, were seated in it.", '']
['"How nicely we are all crammed in," cried Lydia. "I am glad I bought my', '']
['bonnet, if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox! Well, now', '']
['let us be quite comfortable and snug, and talk and laugh all the way', '']
['home. And in the first place, let us hear what has happened to you all', '']
['since you went away. Have you seen any pleasant men? Have you had any', '']
['flirting? I was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband', '']
['before you came back. Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare.', '']
['She is almost three-and-twenty! Lord, how ashamed I should be of not', '']
['being married before three-and-twenty! My aunt Phillips wants you so to', '']
["get husbands, you can't think. She says Lizzy had better have taken Mr.", '']
['Collins; but _I_ do not think there would have been any fun in it. Lord!', '']
['how I should like to be married before any of you; and then I would', '']
['chaperon you about to all the balls. Dear me! we had such a good piece', '']
["of fun the other day at Colonel Forster's. Kitty and me were to spend", '']
['the day there, and Mrs. Forster promised to have a little dance in the', '']
['evening; (by the bye, Mrs. Forster and me are _such_ friends!) and so', '']
['she asked the two Harringtons to come, but Harriet was ill, and so Pen', '']
['was forced to come by herself; and then, what do you think we did? We', '']
["dressed up Chamberlayne in woman's clothes on purpose to pass for a", '']
['lady, only think what fun! Not a soul knew of it, but Colonel and Mrs.', '']
['Forster, and Kitty and me, except my aunt, for we were forced to borrow', '']
['one of her gowns; and you cannot imagine how well he looked! When Denny,', '']
['and Wickham, and Pratt, and two or three more of the men came in, they', '']
['did not know him in the least. Lord! how I laughed! and so did Mrs.', '']
['Forster. I thought I should have died. And _that_ made the men suspect', '']
['something, and then they soon found out what was the matter."', '']
['With such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes, did', '']
["Lydia, assisted by Kitty's hints and additions, endeavour to amuse her", '']
['companions all the way to Longbourn. Elizabeth listened as little as she', '']
["could, but there was no escaping the frequent mention of Wickham's name.", '']
['Their reception at home was most kind. Mrs. Bennet rejoiced to see Jane', '']
['in undiminished beauty; and more than once during dinner did Mr. Bennet', '']
['say voluntarily to Elizabeth:', '']
['"I am glad you are come back, Lizzy."', '']
['Their party in the dining-room was large, for almost all the Lucases', '']
['came to meet Maria and hear the news; and various were the subjects that', '']
['occupied them: Lady Lucas was inquiring of Maria, after the welfare and', '']
['poultry of her eldest daughter; Mrs. Bennet was doubly engaged, on one', '']
['hand collecting an account of the present fashions from Jane, who sat', '']
['some way below her, and, on the other, retailing them all to the younger', '']
["Lucases; and Lydia, in a voice rather louder than any other person's,", '']
['was enumerating the various pleasures of the morning to anybody who', '']
['would hear her.', '']
['"Oh! Mary," said she, "I wish you had gone with us, for we had such fun!', '']
['As we went along, Kitty and I drew up the blinds, and pretended there', '']
['was nobody in the coach; and I should have gone so all the way, if Kitty', '']
['had not been sick; and when we got to the George, I do think we behaved', '']
['very handsomely, for we treated the other three with the nicest cold', '']
['luncheon in the world, and if you would have gone, we would have treated', '']
['you too. And then when we came away it was such fun! I thought we never', '']
['should have got into the coach. I was ready to die of laughter. And then', '']
['we were so merry all the way home! we talked and laughed so loud, that', '']
['anybody might have heard us ten miles off!"', '']
['To this Mary very gravely replied, "Far be it from me, my dear sister,', '']
['to depreciate such pleasures! They would doubtless be congenial with the', '']
['generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for', '']
['_me_--I should infinitely prefer a book."', '']
['But of this answer Lydia heard not a word. She seldom listened to', '']
['anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to Mary at all.', '']
['In the afternoon Lydia was urgent with the rest of the girls to walk', '']
['to Meryton, and to see how everybody went on; but Elizabeth steadily', '']
['opposed the scheme. It should not be said that the Miss Bennets could', '']
['not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers.', '']
['There was another reason too for her opposition. She dreaded seeing Mr.', '']
['Wickham again, and was resolved to avoid it as long as possible. The', '']
["comfort to _her_ of the regiment's approaching removal was indeed beyond", '']
['expression. In a fortnight they were to go--and once gone, she hoped', '']
['there could be nothing more to plague her on his account.', '']
['She had not been many hours at home before she found that the Brighton', '']
['scheme, of which Lydia had given them a hint at the inn, was under', '']
['frequent discussion between her parents. Elizabeth saw directly that her', '']
['father had not the smallest intention of yielding; but his answers were', '']
['at the same time so vague and equivocal, that her mother, though often', '']
['disheartened, had never yet despaired of succeeding at last.', '']
['Chapter 40', '']
["Elizabeth's impatience to acquaint Jane with what had happened could", '']
['no longer be overcome; and at length, resolving to suppress every', '']
['particular in which her sister was concerned, and preparing her to be', '']
['surprised, she related to her the next morning the chief of the scene', '']
['between Mr. Darcy and herself.', '']
["Miss Bennet's astonishment was soon lessened by the strong sisterly", '']
['partiality which made any admiration of Elizabeth appear perfectly', '']
['natural; and all surprise was shortly lost in other feelings. She was', '']
['sorry that Mr. Darcy should have delivered his sentiments in a manner so', '']
['little suited to recommend them; but still more was she grieved for the', '']
["unhappiness which her sister's refusal must have given him.", '']
['"His being so sure of succeeding was wrong," said she, "and certainly', '']
['ought not to have appeared; but consider how much it must increase his', '']
['disappointment!"', '']
['"Indeed," replied Elizabeth, "I am heartily sorry for him; but he has', '']
['other feelings, which will probably soon drive away his regard for me.', '']
['You do not blame me, however, for refusing him?"', '']
['"Blame you! Oh, no."', '']
['"But you blame me for having spoken so warmly of Wickham?"', '']
['"No--I do not know that you were wrong in saying what you did."', '']
['"But you _will_ know it, when I tell you what happened the very next', '']
['day."', '']
['She then spoke of the letter, repeating the whole of its contents as far', '']
['as they concerned George Wickham. What a stroke was this for poor Jane!', '']
['who would willingly have gone through the world without believing that', '']
['so much wickedness existed in the whole race of mankind, as was here', '']
["collected in one individual. Nor was Darcy's vindication, though", '']
['grateful to her feelings, capable of consoling her for such discovery.', '']
['Most earnestly did she labour to prove the probability of error, and', '']
['seek to clear the one without involving the other.', '']
['"This will not do," said Elizabeth; "you never will be able to make both', '']
['of them good for anything. Take your choice, but you must be satisfied', '']
['with only one. There is but such a quantity of merit between them; just', '']
['enough to make one good sort of man; and of late it has been shifting', '']
["about pretty much. For my part, I am inclined to believe it all Darcy's;", '']
['but you shall do as you choose."', '']
['It was some time, however, before a smile could be extorted from Jane.', '']
['"I do not know when I have been more shocked," said she. "Wickham so', '']
['very bad! It is almost past belief. And poor Mr. Darcy! Dear Lizzy, only', '']
['consider what he must have suffered. Such a disappointment! and with the', '']
['knowledge of your ill opinion, too! and having to relate such a thing', '']
['of his sister! It is really too distressing. I am sure you must feel it', '']
['so."', '']
['"Oh! no, my regret and compassion are all done away by seeing you so', '']
['full of both. I know you will do him such ample justice, that I am', '']
['growing every moment more unconcerned and indifferent. Your profusion', '']
['makes me saving; and if you lament over him much longer, my heart will', '']
['be as light as a feather."', '']
['"Poor Wickham! there is such an expression of goodness in his', '']
['countenance! such an openness and gentleness in his manner!"', '']
['"There certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those', '']
['two young men. One has got all the goodness, and the other all the', '']
['appearance of it."', '']
['"I never thought Mr. Darcy so deficient in the _appearance_ of it as you', '']
['used to do."', '']
['"And yet I meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike', '']
["to him, without any reason. It is such a spur to one's genius, such an", '']
['opening for wit, to have a dislike of that kind. One may be continually', '']
['abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot always be laughing', '']
['at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty."', '']
['"Lizzy, when you first read that letter, I am sure you could not treat', '']
['the matter as you do now."', '']
['"Indeed, I could not. I was uncomfortable enough, I may say unhappy. And', '']
['with no one to speak to about what I felt, no Jane to comfort me and say', '']
['that I had not been so very weak and vain and nonsensical as I knew I', '']
['had! Oh! how I wanted you!"', '']
['"How unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions', '']
['in speaking of Wickham to Mr. Darcy, for now they _do_ appear wholly', '']
['undeserved."', '']
['"Certainly. But the misfortune of speaking with bitterness is a most', '']
['natural consequence of the prejudices I had been encouraging. There', '']
['is one point on which I want your advice. I want to be told whether I', '']
['ought, or ought not, to make our acquaintances in general understand', '']
['Wickham\'s character."', '']
['Miss Bennet paused a little, and then replied, "Surely there can be no', '']
['occasion for exposing him so dreadfully. What is your opinion?"', '']
['"That it ought not to be attempted. Mr. Darcy has not authorised me', '']
['to make his communication public. On the contrary, every particular', '']
['relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to', '']
['myself; and if I endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his', '']
['conduct, who will believe me? The general prejudice against Mr. Darcy', '']
['is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people in', '']
['Meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light. I am not equal', '']
['to it. Wickham will soon be gone; and therefore it will not signify to', '']
['anyone here what he really is. Some time hence it will be all found out,', '']
['and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before. At', '']
['present I will say nothing about it."', '']
['"You are quite right. To have his errors made public might ruin him for', '']
['ever. He is now, perhaps, sorry for what he has done, and anxious to', '']
['re-establish a character. We must not make him desperate."', '']
["The tumult of Elizabeth's mind was allayed by this conversation. She had", '']
['got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fortnight,', '']
['and was certain of a willing listener in Jane, whenever she might wish', '']
['to talk again of either. But there was still something lurking behind,', '']
['of which prudence forbade the disclosure. She dared not relate the other', '']
["half of Mr. Darcy's letter, nor explain to her sister how sincerely she", '']
['had been valued by her friend. Here was knowledge in which no one', '']
['could partake; and she was sensible that nothing less than a perfect', '']
['understanding between the parties could justify her in throwing off', '']
['this last encumbrance of mystery. "And then," said she, "if that very', '']
['improbable event should ever take place, I shall merely be able to', '']
['tell what Bingley may tell in a much more agreeable manner himself. The', '']
['liberty of communication cannot be mine till it has lost all its value!"', '']
['She was now, on being settled at home, at leisure to observe the real', '']
["state of her sister's spirits. Jane was not happy. She still cherished a", '']
['very tender affection for Bingley. Having never even fancied herself', '']
['in love before, her regard had all the warmth of first attachment,', '']
['and, from her age and disposition, greater steadiness than most first', '']
['attachments often boast; and so fervently did she value his remembrance,', '']
['and prefer him to every other man, that all her good sense, and all her', '']
['attention to the feelings of her friends, were requisite to check the', '']
['indulgence of those regrets which must have been injurious to her own', '']
['health and their tranquillity.', '']
['"Well, Lizzy," said Mrs. Bennet one day, "what is your opinion _now_ of', '']
["this sad business of Jane's? For my part, I am determined never to speak", '']
['of it again to anybody. I told my sister Phillips so the other day. But', '']
['I cannot find out that Jane saw anything of him in London. Well, he is', '']
["a very undeserving young man--and I do not suppose there's the least", '']
['chance in the world of her ever getting him now. There is no talk of', '']
['his coming to Netherfield again in the summer; and I have inquired of', '']
['everybody, too, who is likely to know."', '']
['"I do not believe he will ever live at Netherfield any more."', '']
['"Oh well! it is just as he chooses. Nobody wants him to come. Though I', '']
['shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill; and if I was her, I', '']
['would not have put up with it. Well, my comfort is, I am sure Jane will', '']
['die of a broken heart; and then he will be sorry for what he has done."', '']
['But as Elizabeth could not receive comfort from any such expectation,', '']
['she made no answer.', '']
['"Well, Lizzy," continued her mother, soon afterwards, "and so the', '']
['Collinses live very comfortable, do they? Well, well, I only hope', '']
['it will last. And what sort of table do they keep? Charlotte is an', '']
['excellent manager, I dare say. If she is half as sharp as her', '']
['mother, she is saving enough. There is nothing extravagant in _their_', '']
['housekeeping, I dare say."', '']
['"No, nothing at all."', '']
['"A great deal of good management, depend upon it. Yes, yes, _they_ will', '']
['take care not to outrun their income. _They_ will never be distressed', '']
['for money. Well, much good may it do them! And so, I suppose, they often', '']
['talk of having Longbourn when your father is dead. They look upon it as', '']
['quite their own, I dare say, whenever that happens."', '']
['"It was a subject which they could not mention before me."', '']
['"No; it would have been strange if they had; but I make no doubt they', '']
['often talk of it between themselves. Well, if they can be easy with an', '']
['estate that is not lawfully their own, so much the better. I should be', '']
['ashamed of having one that was only entailed on me."', '']
['Chapter 41', '']
['The first week of their return was soon gone. The second began. It was', '']
["the last of the regiment's stay in Meryton, and all the young ladies", '']
['in the neighbourhood were drooping apace. The dejection was almost', '']
['universal. The elder Miss Bennets alone were still able to eat, drink,', '']
['and sleep, and pursue the usual course of their employments. Very', '']
['frequently were they reproached for this insensibility by Kitty and', '']
['Lydia, whose own misery was extreme, and who could not comprehend such', '']
['hard-heartedness in any of the family.', '']
['"Good Heaven! what is to become of us? What are we to do?" would they', '']
['often exclaim in the bitterness of woe. "How can you be smiling so,', '']
['Lizzy?"', '']
['Their affectionate mother shared all their grief; she remembered what', '']
['she had herself endured on a similar occasion, five-and-twenty years', '']
['ago.', '']
['"I am sure," said she, "I cried for two days together when Colonel', '']
['Miller\'s regiment went away. I thought I should have broken my heart."', '']
['"I am sure I shall break _mine_," said Lydia.', '']
['"If one could but go to Brighton!" observed Mrs. Bennet.', '']
['"Oh, yes!--if one could but go to Brighton! But papa is so', '']
['disagreeable."', '']
['"A little sea-bathing would set me up forever."', '']
['"And my aunt Phillips is sure it would do _me_ a great deal of good,"', '']
['added Kitty.', '']
['Such were the kind of lamentations resounding perpetually through', '']
['Longbourn House. Elizabeth tried to be diverted by them; but all sense', '']
["of pleasure was lost in shame. She felt anew the justice of Mr. Darcy's", '']
['objections; and never had she been so much disposed to pardon his', '']
['interference in the views of his friend.', '']
["But the gloom of Lydia's prospect was shortly cleared away; for she", '']
['received an invitation from Mrs. Forster, the wife of the colonel of', '']
['the regiment, to accompany her to Brighton. This invaluable friend was a', '']
['very young woman, and very lately married. A resemblance in good humour', '']
['and good spirits had recommended her and Lydia to each other, and out of', '']
["their _three_ months' acquaintance they had been intimate _two_.", '']
['The rapture of Lydia on this occasion, her adoration of Mrs. Forster,', '']
['the delight of Mrs. Bennet, and the mortification of Kitty, are scarcely', '']
["to be described. Wholly inattentive to her sister's feelings, Lydia", '']
["flew about the house in restless ecstasy, calling for everyone's", '']
['congratulations, and laughing and talking with more violence than ever;', '']
['whilst the luckless Kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate', '']
['in terms as unreasonable as her accent was peevish.', '']
['"I cannot see why Mrs. Forster should not ask _me_ as well as Lydia,"', '']
['said she, "Though I am _not_ her particular friend. I have just as much', '']
['right to be asked as she has, and more too, for I am two years older."', '']
['In vain did Elizabeth attempt to make her reasonable, and Jane to make', '']
['her resigned. As for Elizabeth herself, this invitation was so far from', '']
['exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and Lydia, that she', '']
['considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense', '']
['for the latter; and detestable as such a step must make her were it', '']
['known, she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her', '']
["go. She represented to him all the improprieties of Lydia's general", '']
['behaviour, the little advantage she could derive from the friendship of', '']
['such a woman as Mrs. Forster, and the probability of her being yet more', '']
['imprudent with such a companion at Brighton, where the temptations must', '']
['be greater than at home. He heard her attentively, and then said:', '']
['"Lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public', '']
['place or other, and we can never expect her to do it with so', '']
['little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present', '']
['circumstances."', '']
['"If you were aware," said Elizabeth, "of the very great disadvantage to', '']
["us all which must arise from the public notice of Lydia's unguarded and", '']
['imprudent manner--nay, which has already arisen from it, I am sure you', '']
['would judge differently in the affair."', '']
['"Already arisen?" repeated Mr. Bennet. "What, has she frightened away', '']
['some of your lovers? Poor little Lizzy! But do not be cast down. Such', '']
['squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity', '']
['are not worth a regret. Come, let me see the list of pitiful fellows who', '']
['have been kept aloof by Lydia\'s folly."', '']
['"Indeed you are mistaken. I have no such injuries to resent. It is not', '']
['of particular, but of general evils, which I am now complaining. Our', '']
['importance, our respectability in the world must be affected by the', '']
['wild volatility, the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark', '']
["Lydia's character. Excuse me, for I must speak plainly. If you, my dear", '']
['father, will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits, and', '']
['of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of', '']
['her life, she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment. Her character', '']
['will be fixed, and she will, at sixteen, be the most determined flirt', '']
['that ever made herself or her family ridiculous; a flirt, too, in the', '']
['worst and meanest degree of flirtation; without any attraction beyond', '']
['youth and a tolerable person; and, from the ignorance and emptiness', '']
['of her mind, wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal', '']
['contempt which her rage for admiration will excite. In this danger', '']
['Kitty also is comprehended. She will follow wherever Lydia leads. Vain,', '']
['ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled! Oh! my dear father, can you', '']
['suppose it possible that they will not be censured and despised wherever', '']
['they are known, and that their sisters will not be often involved in the', '']
['disgrace?"', '']
['Mr. Bennet saw that her whole heart was in the subject, and', '']
['affectionately taking her hand said in reply:', '']
['"Do not make yourself uneasy, my love. Wherever you and Jane are known', '']
['you must be respected and valued; and you will not appear to less', '']
['advantage for having a couple of--or I may say, three--very silly', '']
['sisters. We shall have no peace at Longbourn if Lydia does not go to', '']
['Brighton. Let her go, then. Colonel Forster is a sensible man, and will', '']
['keep her out of any real mischief; and she is luckily too poor to be an', '']
['object of prey to anybody. At Brighton she will be of less importance', '']
['even as a common flirt than she has been here. The officers will find', '']
['women better worth their notice. Let us hope, therefore, that her being', '']
['there may teach her her own insignificance. At any rate, she cannot grow', '']
['many degrees worse, without authorising us to lock her up for the rest', '']
['of her life."', '']
['With this answer Elizabeth was forced to be content; but her own opinion', '']
['continued the same, and she left him disappointed and sorry. It was not', '']
['in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling on', '']
['them. She was confident of having performed her duty, and to fret', '']
['over unavoidable evils, or augment them by anxiety, was no part of her', '']
['disposition.', '']
['Had Lydia and her mother known the substance of her conference with her', '']
['father, their indignation would hardly have found expression in their', '']
["united volubility. In Lydia's imagination, a visit to Brighton comprised", '']
['every possibility of earthly happiness. She saw, with the creative eye', '']
['of fancy, the streets of that gay bathing-place covered with officers.', '']
['She saw herself the object of attention, to tens and to scores of them', '']
['at present unknown. She saw all the glories of the camp--its tents', '']
['stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines, crowded with the young', '']
['and the gay, and dazzling with scarlet; and, to complete the view, she', '']
['saw herself seated beneath a tent, tenderly flirting with at least six', '']
['officers at once.', '']
['Had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such', '']
['realities as these, what would have been her sensations? They could have', '']
['been understood only by her mother, who might have felt nearly the same.', '']
["Lydia's going to Brighton was all that consoled her for her melancholy", '']
["conviction of her husband's never intending to go there himself.", '']
['But they were entirely ignorant of what had passed; and their raptures', '']
["continued, with little intermission, to the very day of Lydia's leaving", '']
['home.', '']
['Elizabeth was now to see Mr. Wickham for the last time. Having been', '']
['frequently in company with him since her return, agitation was pretty', '']
['well over; the agitations of former partiality entirely so. She had even', '']
['learnt to detect, in the very gentleness which had first delighted', '']
['her, an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary. In his present', '']
['behaviour to herself, moreover, she had a fresh source of displeasure,', '']
['for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which', '']
['had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve, after', '']
['what had since passed, to provoke her. She lost all concern for him in', '']
['finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous', '']
['gallantry; and while she steadily repressed it, could not but feel the', '']
['reproof contained in his believing, that however long, and for whatever', '']
['cause, his attentions had been withdrawn, her vanity would be gratified,', '']
['and her preference secured at any time by their renewal.', '']
["On the very last day of the regiment's remaining at Meryton, he dined,", '']
['with other of the officers, at Longbourn; and so little was Elizabeth', '']
['disposed to part from him in good humour, that on his making some', '']
['inquiry as to the manner in which her time had passed at Hunsford, she', '']
["mentioned Colonel Fitzwilliam's and Mr. Darcy's having both spent three", '']
['weeks at Rosings, and asked him, if he was acquainted with the former.', '']
["He looked surprised, displeased, alarmed; but with a moment's", '']
['recollection and a returning smile, replied, that he had formerly seen', '']
['him often; and, after observing that he was a very gentlemanlike man,', '']
['asked her how she had liked him. Her answer was warmly in his favour.', '']
['With an air of indifference he soon afterwards added:', '']
['"How long did you say he was at Rosings?"', '']
['"Nearly three weeks."', '']
['"And you saw him frequently?"', '']
['"Yes, almost every day."', '']
['"His manners are very different from his cousin\'s."', '']
['"Yes, very different. But I think Mr. Darcy improves upon acquaintance."', '']
['"Indeed!" cried Mr. Wickham with a look which did not escape her. "And', '']
['pray, may I ask?--" But checking himself, he added, in a gayer tone, "Is', '']
['it in address that he improves? Has he deigned to add aught of civility', '']
['to his ordinary style?--for I dare not hope," he continued in a lower', '']
['and more serious tone, "that he is improved in essentials."', '']
['"Oh, no!" said Elizabeth. "In essentials, I believe, he is very much', '']
['what he ever was."', '']
['While she spoke, Wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to', '']
['rejoice over her words, or to distrust their meaning. There was a', '']
['something in her countenance which made him listen with an apprehensive', '']
['and anxious attention, while she added:', '']
['"When I said that he improved on acquaintance, I did not mean that', '']
['his mind or his manners were in a state of improvement, but that, from', '']
['knowing him better, his disposition was better understood."', '']
["Wickham's alarm now appeared in a heightened complexion and agitated", '']
['look; for a few minutes he was silent, till, shaking off his', '']
['embarrassment, he turned to her again, and said in the gentlest of', '']
['accents:', '']
['"You, who so well know my feeling towards Mr. Darcy, will readily', '']
['comprehend how sincerely I must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume', '']
['even the _appearance_ of what is right. His pride, in that direction,', '']
['may be of service, if not to himself, to many others, for it must only', '']
['deter him from such foul misconduct as I have suffered by. I only', '']
['fear that the sort of cautiousness to which you, I imagine, have been', '']
['alluding, is merely adopted on his visits to his aunt, of whose good', '']
['opinion and judgement he stands much in awe. His fear of her has always', '']
['operated, I know, when they were together; and a good deal is to be', '']
['imputed to his wish of forwarding the match with Miss de Bourgh, which I', '']
['am certain he has very much at heart."', '']
['Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a', '']
['slight inclination of the head. She saw that he wanted to engage her on', '']
['the old subject of his grievances, and she was in no humour to indulge', '']
['him. The rest of the evening passed with the _appearance_, on his', '']
['side, of usual cheerfulness, but with no further attempt to distinguish', '']
['Elizabeth; and they parted at last with mutual civility, and possibly a', '']
['mutual desire of never meeting again.', '']
['When the party broke up, Lydia returned with Mrs. Forster to Meryton,', '']
['from whence they were to set out early the next morning. The separation', '']
['between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic. Kitty was the', '']
['only one who shed tears; but she did weep from vexation and envy. Mrs.', '']
['Bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter,', '']
['and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the', '']
['opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possible--advice which', '']
['there was every reason to believe would be well attended to; and in', '']
['the clamorous happiness of Lydia herself in bidding farewell, the more', '']
['gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard.', '']
['Chapter 42', '']
["Had Elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family, she could", '']
['not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic', '']
['comfort. Her father, captivated by youth and beauty, and that appearance', '']
['of good humour which youth and beauty generally give, had married a', '']
['woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in', '']
['their marriage put an end to all real affection for her. Respect,', '']
['esteem, and confidence had vanished for ever; and all his views', '']
['of domestic happiness were overthrown. But Mr. Bennet was not of', '']
['a disposition to seek comfort for the disappointment which his own', '']
['imprudence had brought on, in any of those pleasures which too often', '']
['console the unfortunate for their folly or their vice. He was fond of', '']
['the country and of books; and from these tastes had arisen his principal', '']
['enjoyments. To his wife he was very little otherwise indebted, than as', '']
['her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement. This is not', '']
['the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his', '']
['wife; but where other powers of entertainment are wanting, the true', '']
['philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given.', '']
['Elizabeth, however, had never been blind to the impropriety of her', '']
["father's behaviour as a husband. She had always seen it with pain; but", '']
['respecting his abilities, and grateful for his affectionate treatment of', '']
['herself, she endeavoured to forget what she could not overlook, and to', '']
['banish from her thoughts that continual breach of conjugal obligation', '']
['and decorum which, in exposing his wife to the contempt of her own', '']
['children, was so highly reprehensible. But she had never felt so', '']
['strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so', '']
['unsuitable a marriage, nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising', '']
['from so ill-judged a direction of talents; talents, which, rightly used,', '']
['might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters, even', '']
['if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife.', '']
["When Elizabeth had rejoiced over Wickham's departure she found little", '']
['other cause for satisfaction in the loss of the regiment. Their parties', '']
['abroad were less varied than before, and at home she had a mother and', '']
['sister whose constant repinings at the dullness of everything around', '']
['them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle; and, though Kitty', '']
['might in time regain her natural degree of sense, since the disturbers', '']
['of her brain were removed, her other sister, from whose disposition', '']
['greater evil might be apprehended, was likely to be hardened in all', '']
['her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a', '']
['watering-place and a camp. Upon the whole, therefore, she found, what', '']
['has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had been', '']
['looking with impatient desire did not, in taking place, bring all the', '']
['satisfaction she had promised herself. It was consequently necessary to', '']
['name some other period for the commencement of actual felicity--to have', '']
['some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed, and by', '']
['again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation, console herself for the', '']
['present, and prepare for another disappointment. Her tour to the Lakes', '']
['was now the object of her happiest thoughts; it was her best consolation', '']
['for all the uncomfortable hours which the discontentedness of her mother', '']
['and Kitty made inevitable; and could she have included Jane in the', '']
['scheme, every part of it would have been perfect.', '']
['"But it is fortunate," thought she, "that I have something to wish for.', '']
['Were the whole arrangement complete, my disappointment would be certain.', '']
['But here, by carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my', '']
["sister's absence, I may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of", '']
['pleasure realised. A scheme of which every part promises delight can', '']
['never be successful; and general disappointment is only warded off by', '']
['the defence of some little peculiar vexation."', '']
['When Lydia went away she promised to write very often and very minutely', '']
['to her mother and Kitty; but her letters were always long expected, and', '']
['always very short. Those to her mother contained little else than that', '']
['they were just returned from the library, where such and such officers', '']
['had attended them, and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as', '']
['made her quite wild; that she had a new gown, or a new parasol, which', '']
['she would have described more fully, but was obliged to leave off in a', '']
['violent hurry, as Mrs. Forster called her, and they were going off to', '']
['the camp; and from her correspondence with her sister, there was still', '']
['less to be learnt--for her letters to Kitty, though rather longer, were', '']
['much too full of lines under the words to be made public.', '']
['After the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence, health, good', '']
['humour, and cheerfulness began to reappear at Longbourn. Everything wore', '']
['a happier aspect. The families who had been in town for the winter came', '']
['back again, and summer finery and summer engagements arose. Mrs. Bennet', '']
['was restored to her usual querulous serenity; and, by the middle of', '']
['June, Kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter Meryton without', '']
['tears; an event of such happy promise as to make Elizabeth hope that by', '']
['the following Christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to', '']
['mention an officer above once a day, unless, by some cruel and malicious', '']
['arrangement at the War Office, another regiment should be quartered in', '']
['Meryton.', '']
['The time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast', '']
['approaching, and a fortnight only was wanting of it, when a letter', '']
['arrived from Mrs. Gardiner, which at once delayed its commencement and', '']
['curtailed its extent. Mr. Gardiner would be prevented by business from', '']
['setting out till a fortnight later in July, and must be in London again', '']
['within a month, and as that left too short a period for them to go so', '']
['far, and see so much as they had proposed, or at least to see it with', '']
['the leisure and comfort they had built on, they were obliged to give up', '']
['the Lakes, and substitute a more contracted tour, and, according to the', '']
['present plan, were to go no farther northwards than Derbyshire. In that', '']
['county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three', '']
['weeks; and to Mrs. Gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction. The', '']
['town where she had formerly passed some years of her life, and where', '']
['they were now to spend a few days, was probably as great an object of', '']
['her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of Matlock, Chatsworth,', '']
['Dovedale, or the Peak.', '']
['Elizabeth was excessively disappointed; she had set her heart on seeing', '']
['the Lakes, and still thought there might have been time enough. But it', '']
['was her business to be satisfied--and certainly her temper to be happy;', '']
['and all was soon right again.', '']
['With the mention of Derbyshire there were many ideas connected. It was', '']
['impossible for her to see the word without thinking of Pemberley and its', '']
['owner. "But surely," said she, "I may enter his county with impunity,', '']
['and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me."', '']
['The period of expectation was now doubled. Four weeks were to pass away', '']
["before her uncle and aunt's arrival. But they did pass away, and Mr.", '']
['and Mrs. Gardiner, with their four children, did at length appear at', '']
['Longbourn. The children, two girls of six and eight years old, and two', '']
['younger boys, were to be left under the particular care of their', '']
['cousin Jane, who was the general favourite, and whose steady sense and', '']
['sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every', '']
['way--teaching them, playing with them, and loving them.', '']
['The Gardiners stayed only one night at Longbourn, and set off the', '']
['next morning with Elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement.', '']
['One enjoyment was certain--that of suitableness of companions;', '']
['a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear', '']
['inconveniences--cheerfulness to enhance every pleasure--and affection', '']
['and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were', '']
['disappointments abroad.', '']
['It is not the object of this work to give a description of Derbyshire,', '']
['nor of any of the remarkable places through which their route thither', '']
['lay; Oxford, Blenheim, Warwick, Kenilworth, Birmingham, etc. are', '']
['sufficiently known. A small part of Derbyshire is all the present', '']
["concern. To the little town of Lambton, the scene of Mrs. Gardiner's", '']
['former residence, and where she had lately learned some acquaintance', '']
['still remained, they bent their steps, after having seen all the', '']
['principal wonders of the country; and within five miles of Lambton,', '']
['Elizabeth found from her aunt that Pemberley was situated. It was not', '']
['in their direct road, nor more than a mile or two out of it. In', '']
['talking over their route the evening before, Mrs. Gardiner expressed', '']
['an inclination to see the place again. Mr. Gardiner declared his', '']
['willingness, and Elizabeth was applied to for her approbation.', '']
['"My love, should not you like to see a place of which you have heard', '']
['so much?" said her aunt; "a place, too, with which so many of your', '']
['acquaintances are connected. Wickham passed all his youth there, you', '']
['know."', '']
['Elizabeth was distressed. She felt that she had no business at', '']
['Pemberley, and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it. She', '']
['must own that she was tired of seeing great houses; after going over so', '']
['many, she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner abused her stupidity. "If it were merely a fine house', '']
['richly furnished," said she, "I should not care about it myself; but', '']
['the grounds are delightful. They have some of the finest woods in the', '']
['country."', '']
['Elizabeth said no more--but her mind could not acquiesce. The', '']
['possibility of meeting Mr. Darcy, while viewing the place, instantly', '']
['occurred. It would be dreadful! She blushed at the very idea, and', '']
['thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such', '']
['a risk. But against this there were objections; and she finally resolved', '']
['that it could be the last resource, if her private inquiries to the', '']
['absence of the family were unfavourably answered.', '']
['Accordingly, when she retired at night, she asked the chambermaid', '']
['whether Pemberley were not a very fine place? what was the name of its', '']
['proprietor? and, with no little alarm, whether the family were down for', '']
['the summer? A most welcome negative followed the last question--and her', '']
['alarms now being removed, she was at leisure to feel a great deal of', '']
['curiosity to see the house herself; and when the subject was revived the', '']
['next morning, and she was again applied to, could readily answer, and', '']
['with a proper air of indifference, that she had not really any dislike', '']
['to the scheme. To Pemberley, therefore, they were to go.', '']
['Chapter 43', '']
['Elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of', '']
['Pemberley Woods with some perturbation; and when at length they turned', '']
['in at the lodge, her spirits were in a high flutter.', '']
['The park was very large, and contained great variety of ground. They', '']
['entered it in one of its lowest points, and drove for some time through', '']
['a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent.', '']
["Elizabeth's mind was too full for conversation, but she saw and admired", '']
['every remarkable spot and point of view. They gradually ascended for', '']
['half-a-mile, and then found themselves at the top of a considerable', '']
['eminence, where the wood ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by', '']
['Pemberley House, situated on the opposite side of a valley, into which', '']
['the road with some abruptness wound. It was a large, handsome stone', '']
['building, standing well on rising ground, and backed by a ridge of', '']
['high woody hills; and in front, a stream of some natural importance was', '']
['swelled into greater, but without any artificial appearance. Its banks', '']
['were neither formal nor falsely adorned. Elizabeth was delighted. She', '']
['had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural', '']
['beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste. They were', '']
['all of them warm in their admiration; and at that moment she felt that', '']
['to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!', '']
['They descended the hill, crossed the bridge, and drove to the door; and,', '']
['while examining the nearer aspect of the house, all her apprehension of', '']
['meeting its owner returned. She dreaded lest the chambermaid had been', '']
['mistaken. On applying to see the place, they were admitted into the', '']
['hall; and Elizabeth, as they waited for the housekeeper, had leisure to', '']
['wonder at her being where she was.', '']
['The housekeeper came; a respectable-looking elderly woman, much less', '']
['fine, and more civil, than she had any notion of finding her. They', '']
['followed her into the dining-parlour. It was a large, well proportioned', '']
['room, handsomely fitted up. Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went', '']
['to a window to enjoy its prospect. The hill, crowned with wood, which', '']
['they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance,', '']
['was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and', '']
['she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its', '']
['banks and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it,', '']
['with delight. As they passed into other rooms these objects were taking', '']
['different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be', '']
['seen. The rooms were lofty and handsome, and their furniture suitable to', '']
['the fortune of its proprietor; but Elizabeth saw, with admiration of', '']
['his taste, that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine; with less of', '']
['splendour, and more real elegance, than the furniture of Rosings.', '']
['"And of this place," thought she, "I might have been mistress! With', '']
['these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted! Instead of', '']
['viewing them as a stranger, I might have rejoiced in them as my own, and', '']
['welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt. But no,"--recollecting', '']
['herself--"that could never be; my uncle and aunt would have been lost to', '']
['me; I should not have been allowed to invite them."', '']
['This was a lucky recollection--it saved her from something very like', '']
['regret.', '']
['She longed to inquire of the housekeeper whether her master was really', '']
['absent, but had not the courage for it. At length however, the question', '']
['was asked by her uncle; and she turned away with alarm, while Mrs.', '']
['Reynolds replied that he was, adding, "But we expect him to-morrow, with', '']
['a large party of friends." How rejoiced was Elizabeth that their own', '']
['journey had not by any circumstance been delayed a day!', '']
['Her aunt now called her to look at a picture. She approached and saw the', '']
['likeness of Mr. Wickham, suspended, amongst several other miniatures,', '']
['over the mantelpiece. Her aunt asked her, smilingly, how she liked it.', '']
['The housekeeper came forward, and told them it was a picture of a young', '']
["gentleman, the son of her late master's steward, who had been brought", '']
['up by him at his own expense. "He is now gone into the army," she added;', '']
['"but I am afraid he has turned out very wild."', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece with a smile, but Elizabeth could not', '']
['return it.', '']
['"And that," said Mrs. Reynolds, pointing to another of the miniatures,', '']
['"is my master--and very like him. It was drawn at the same time as the', '']
['other--about eight years ago."', '']
['"I have heard much of your master\'s fine person," said Mrs. Gardiner,', '']
['looking at the picture; "it is a handsome face. But, Lizzy, you can tell', '']
['us whether it is like or not."', '']
['Mrs. Reynolds respect for Elizabeth seemed to increase on this', '']
['intimation of her knowing her master.', '']
['"Does that young lady know Mr. Darcy?"', '']
['Elizabeth coloured, and said: "A little."', '']
['"And do not you think him a very handsome gentleman, ma\'am?"', '']
['"Yes, very handsome."', '']
['"I am sure I know none so handsome; but in the gallery up stairs you', '']
['will see a finer, larger picture of him than this. This room was my late', '']
["master's favourite room, and these miniatures are just as they used to", '']
['be then. He was very fond of them."', '']
["This accounted to Elizabeth for Mr. Wickham's being among them.", '']
['Mrs. Reynolds then directed their attention to one of Miss Darcy, drawn', '']
['when she was only eight years old.', '']
['"And is Miss Darcy as handsome as her brother?" said Mrs. Gardiner.', '']
['"Oh! yes--the handsomest young lady that ever was seen; and so', '']
['accomplished!--She plays and sings all day long. In the next room is', '']
['a new instrument just come down for her--a present from my master; she', '']
['comes here to-morrow with him."', '']
['Mr. Gardiner, whose manners were very easy and pleasant, encouraged her', '']
['communicativeness by his questions and remarks; Mrs. Reynolds, either', '']
['by pride or attachment, had evidently great pleasure in talking of her', '']
['master and his sister.', '']
['"Is your master much at Pemberley in the course of the year?"', '']
['"Not so much as I could wish, sir; but I dare say he may spend half his', '']
['time here; and Miss Darcy is always down for the summer months."', '']
['"Except," thought Elizabeth, "when she goes to Ramsgate."', '']
['"If your master would marry, you might see more of him."', '']
['"Yes, sir; but I do not know when _that_ will be. I do not know who is', '']
['good enough for him."', '']
['Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner smiled. Elizabeth could not help saying, "It is', '']
['very much to his credit, I am sure, that you should think so."', '']
['"I say no more than the truth, and everybody will say that knows him,"', '']
['replied the other. Elizabeth thought this was going pretty far; and she', '']
['listened with increasing astonishment as the housekeeper added, "I have', '']
['never known a cross word from him in my life, and I have known him ever', '']
['since he was four years old."', '']
['This was praise, of all others most extraordinary, most opposite to her', '']
['ideas. That he was not a good-tempered man had been her firmest opinion.', '']
['Her keenest attention was awakened; she longed to hear more, and was', '']
['grateful to her uncle for saying:', '']
['"There are very few people of whom so much can be said. You are lucky in', '']
['having such a master."', '']
['"Yes, sir, I know I am. If I were to go through the world, I could', '']
['not meet with a better. But I have always observed, that they who are', '']
['good-natured when children, are good-natured when they grow up; and', '']
['he was always the sweetest-tempered, most generous-hearted boy in the', '']
['world."', '']
['Elizabeth almost stared at her. "Can this be Mr. Darcy?" thought she.', '']
['"His father was an excellent man," said Mrs. Gardiner.', '']
['"Yes, ma\'am, that he was indeed; and his son will be just like him--just', '']
['as affable to the poor."', '']
['Elizabeth listened, wondered, doubted, and was impatient for more. Mrs.', '']
['Reynolds could interest her on no other point. She related the subjects', '']
['of the pictures, the dimensions of the rooms, and the price of the', '']
['furniture, in vain. Mr. Gardiner, highly amused by the kind of family', '']
['prejudice to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her', '']
['master, soon led again to the subject; and she dwelt with energy on his', '']
['many merits as they proceeded together up the great staircase.', '']
['"He is the best landlord, and the best master," said she, "that ever', '']
['lived; not like the wild young men nowadays, who think of nothing but', '']
['themselves. There is not one of his tenants or servants but will give', '']
['him a good name. Some people call him proud; but I am sure I never saw', '']
['anything of it. To my fancy, it is only because he does not rattle away', '']
['like other young men."', '']
['"In what an amiable light does this place him!" thought Elizabeth.', '']
['"This fine account of him," whispered her aunt as they walked, "is not', '']
['quite consistent with his behaviour to our poor friend."', '']
['"Perhaps we might be deceived."', '']
['"That is not very likely; our authority was too good."', '']
['On reaching the spacious lobby above they were shown into a very pretty', '']
['sitting-room, lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than', '']
['the apartments below; and were informed that it was but just done to', '']
['give pleasure to Miss Darcy, who had taken a liking to the room when', '']
['last at Pemberley.', '']
['"He is certainly a good brother," said Elizabeth, as she walked towards', '']
['one of the windows.', '']
["Mrs. Reynolds anticipated Miss Darcy's delight, when she should enter", '']
['the room. "And this is always the way with him," she added. "Whatever', '']
['can give his sister any pleasure is sure to be done in a moment. There', '']
['is nothing he would not do for her."', '']
['The picture-gallery, and two or three of the principal bedrooms, were', '']
['all that remained to be shown. In the former were many good paintings;', '']
['but Elizabeth knew nothing of the art; and from such as had been already', '']
['visible below, she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of Miss', '']
["Darcy's, in crayons, whose subjects were usually more interesting, and", '']
['also more intelligible.', '']
['In the gallery there were many family portraits, but they could have', '']
['little to fix the attention of a stranger. Elizabeth walked in quest of', '']
['the only face whose features would be known to her. At last it arrested', '']
['her--and she beheld a striking resemblance to Mr. Darcy, with such a', '']
['smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he', '']
['looked at her. She stood several minutes before the picture, in earnest', '']
['contemplation, and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery.', '']
["Mrs. Reynolds informed them that it had been taken in his father's", '']
['lifetime.', '']
["There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth's mind, a more gentle", '']
['sensation towards the original than she had ever felt at the height of', '']
['their acquaintance. The commendation bestowed on him by Mrs. Reynolds', '']
['was of no trifling nature. What praise is more valuable than the praise', '']
['of an intelligent servant? As a brother, a landlord, a master, she', '']
["considered how many people's happiness were in his guardianship!--how", '']
['much of pleasure or pain was it in his power to bestow!--how much of', '']
['good or evil must be done by him! Every idea that had been brought', '']
['forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character, and as she', '']
['stood before the canvas on which he was represented, and fixed his', '']
['eyes upon herself, she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of', '']
['gratitude than it had ever raised before; she remembered its warmth, and', '']
['softened its impropriety of expression.', '']
['When all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen,', '']
['they returned downstairs, and, taking leave of the housekeeper, were', '']
['consigned over to the gardener, who met them at the hall-door.', '']
['As they walked across the hall towards the river, Elizabeth turned back', '']
['to look again; her uncle and aunt stopped also, and while the former', '']
['was conjecturing as to the date of the building, the owner of it himself', '']
['suddenly came forward from the road, which led behind it to the stables.', '']
['They were within twenty yards of each other, and so abrupt was his', '']
['appearance, that it was impossible to avoid his sight. Their eyes', '']
['instantly met, and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest', '']
['blush. He absolutely started, and for a moment seemed immovable from', '']
['surprise; but shortly recovering himself, advanced towards the party,', '']
['and spoke to Elizabeth, if not in terms of perfect composure, at least', '']
['of perfect civility.', '']
['She had instinctively turned away; but stopping on his approach,', '']
['received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be', '']
['overcome. Had his first appearance, or his resemblance to the picture', '']
['they had just been examining, been insufficient to assure the other two', '']
["that they now saw Mr. Darcy, the gardener's expression of surprise, on", '']
['beholding his master, must immediately have told it. They stood a little', '']
['aloof while he was talking to their niece, who, astonished and confused,', '']
['scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face, and knew not what answer', '']
['she returned to his civil inquiries after her family. Amazed at the', '']
['alteration of his manner since they last parted, every sentence that', '']
['he uttered was increasing her embarrassment; and every idea of the', '']
['impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind, the few', '']
['minutes in which they continued were some of the most uncomfortable in', '']
['her life. Nor did he seem much more at ease; when he spoke, his accent', '']
['had none of its usual sedateness; and he repeated his inquiries as', '']
['to the time of her having left Longbourn, and of her having stayed in', '']
['Derbyshire, so often, and in so hurried a way, as plainly spoke the', '']
['distraction of his thoughts.', '']
['At length every idea seemed to fail him; and, after standing a few', '']
['moments without saying a word, he suddenly recollected himself, and took', '']
['leave.', '']
['The others then joined her, and expressed admiration of his figure; but', '']
['Elizabeth heard not a word, and wholly engrossed by her own feelings,', '']
['followed them in silence. She was overpowered by shame and vexation. Her', '']
['coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the', '']
['world! How strange it must appear to him! In what a disgraceful light', '']
['might it not strike so vain a man! It might seem as if she had purposely', '']
['thrown herself in his way again! Oh! why did she come? Or, why did he', '']
['thus come a day before he was expected? Had they been only ten minutes', '']
['sooner, they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination;', '']
['for it was plain that he was that moment arrived--that moment alighted', '']
['from his horse or his carriage. She blushed again and again over', '']
['the perverseness of the meeting. And his behaviour, so strikingly', '']
['altered--what could it mean? That he should even speak to her was', '']
['amazing!--but to speak with such civility, to inquire after her family!', '']
['Never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified, never', '']
['had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting. What', '']
['a contrast did it offer to his last address in Rosings Park, when he put', '']
['his letter into her hand! She knew not what to think, or how to account', '']
['for it.', '']
['They had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water, and', '']
['every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground, or a finer', '']
['reach of the woods to which they were approaching; but it was some time', '']
['before Elizabeth was sensible of any of it; and, though she answered', '']
['mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt, and', '']
['seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out, she', '']
['distinguished no part of the scene. Her thoughts were all fixed on that', '']
['one spot of Pemberley House, whichever it might be, where Mr. Darcy then', '']
['was. She longed to know what at the moment was passing in his mind--in', '']
['what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of everything,', '']
['she was still dear to him. Perhaps he had been civil only because he', '']
['felt himself at ease; yet there had been _that_ in his voice which was', '']
['not like ease. Whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in', '']
['seeing her she could not tell, but he certainly had not seen her with', '']
['composure.', '']
['At length, however, the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind', '']
['aroused her, and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself.', '']
['They entered the woods, and bidding adieu to the river for a while,', '']
['ascended some of the higher grounds; when, in spots where the opening of', '']
['the trees gave the eye power to wander, were many charming views of the', '']
['valley, the opposite hills, with the long range of woods overspreading', '']
['many, and occasionally part of the stream. Mr. Gardiner expressed a wish', '']
['of going round the whole park, but feared it might be beyond a walk.', '']
['With a triumphant smile they were told that it was ten miles round.', '']
['It settled the matter; and they pursued the accustomed circuit; which', '']
['brought them again, after some time, in a descent among hanging woods,', '']
['to the edge of the water, and one of its narrowest parts. They crossed', '']
['it by a simple bridge, in character with the general air of the scene;', '']
['it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited; and the', '']
['valley, here contracted into a glen, allowed room only for the stream,', '']
['and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppice-wood which bordered it.', '']
['Elizabeth longed to explore its windings; but when they had crossed the', '']
['bridge, and perceived their distance from the house, Mrs. Gardiner,', '']
['who was not a great walker, could go no farther, and thought only', '']
['of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible. Her niece was,', '']
['therefore, obliged to submit, and they took their way towards the house', '']
['on the opposite side of the river, in the nearest direction; but their', '']
['progress was slow, for Mr. Gardiner, though seldom able to indulge the', '']
['taste, was very fond of fishing, and was so much engaged in watching the', '']
['occasional appearance of some trout in the water, and talking to the', '']
['man about them, that he advanced but little. Whilst wandering on in this', '']
["slow manner, they were again surprised, and Elizabeth's astonishment", '']
['was quite equal to what it had been at first, by the sight of Mr. Darcy', '']
['approaching them, and at no great distance. The walk being here', '']
['less sheltered than on the other side, allowed them to see him before', '']
['they met. Elizabeth, however astonished, was at least more prepared', '']
['for an interview than before, and resolved to appear and to speak with', '']
['calmness, if he really intended to meet them. For a few moments, indeed,', '']
['she felt that he would probably strike into some other path. The idea', '']
['lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view; the', '']
['turning past, he was immediately before them. With a glance, she saw', '']
['that he had lost none of his recent civility; and, to imitate his', '']
['politeness, she began, as they met, to admire the beauty of the place;', '']
['but she had not got beyond the words "delightful," and "charming," when', '']
['some unlucky recollections obtruded, and she fancied that praise of', '']
['Pemberley from her might be mischievously construed. Her colour changed,', '']
['and she said no more.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner was standing a little behind; and on her pausing, he asked', '']
['her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends.', '']
['This was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared;', '']
['and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the', '']
['acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had', '']
['revolted in his offer to herself. "What will be his surprise," thought', '']
['she, "when he knows who they are? He takes them now for people of', '']
['fashion."', '']
['The introduction, however, was immediately made; and as she named their', '']
['relationship to herself, she stole a sly look at him, to see how he bore', '']
['it, and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he', '']
['could from such disgraceful companions. That he was _surprised_ by the', '']
['connection was evident; he sustained it, however, with fortitude, and', '']
['so far from going away, turned back with them, and entered into', '']
['conversation with Mr. Gardiner. Elizabeth could not but be pleased,', '']
['could not but triumph. It was consoling that he should know she had', '']
['some relations for whom there was no need to blush. She listened most', '']
['attentively to all that passed between them, and gloried in every', '']
['expression, every sentence of her uncle, which marked his intelligence,', '']
['his taste, or his good manners.', '']
['The conversation soon turned upon fishing; and she heard Mr. Darcy', '']
['invite him, with the greatest civility, to fish there as often as he', '']
['chose while he continued in the neighbourhood, offering at the same time', '']
['to supply him with fishing tackle, and pointing out those parts of', '']
['the stream where there was usually most sport. Mrs. Gardiner, who was', '']
['walking arm-in-arm with Elizabeth, gave her a look expressive of wonder.', '']
['Elizabeth said nothing, but it gratified her exceedingly; the compliment', '']
['must be all for herself. Her astonishment, however, was extreme, and', '']
['continually was she repeating, "Why is he so altered? From what can', '']
['it proceed? It cannot be for _me_--it cannot be for _my_ sake that his', '']
['manners are thus softened. My reproofs at Hunsford could not work such a', '']
['change as this. It is impossible that he should still love me."', '']
['After walking some time in this way, the two ladies in front, the two', '']
['gentlemen behind, on resuming their places, after descending to', '']
['the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious', '']
['water-plant, there chanced to be a little alteration. It originated', '']
['in Mrs. Gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found', '']
["Elizabeth's arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred", '']
["her husband's. Mr. Darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on", '']
['together. After a short silence, the lady first spoke. She wished him', '']
['to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the', '']
['place, and accordingly began by observing, that his arrival had been', '']
['very unexpected--"for your housekeeper," she added, "informed us that', '']
['you would certainly not be here till to-morrow; and indeed, before we', '']
['left Bakewell, we understood that you were not immediately expected', '']
['in the country." He acknowledged the truth of it all, and said that', '']
['business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours', '']
['before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling. "They', '']
['will join me early to-morrow," he continued, "and among them are some', '']
['who will claim an acquaintance with you--Mr. Bingley and his sisters."', '']
['Elizabeth answered only by a slight bow. Her thoughts were instantly', '']
["driven back to the time when Mr. Bingley's name had been the last", '']
['mentioned between them; and, if she might judge by his complexion, _his_', '']
['mind was not very differently engaged.', '']
['"There is also one other person in the party," he continued after a', '']
['pause, "who more particularly wishes to be known to you. Will you allow', '']
['me, or do I ask too much, to introduce my sister to your acquaintance', '']
['during your stay at Lambton?"', '']
['The surprise of such an application was great indeed; it was too great', '']
['for her to know in what manner she acceded to it. She immediately felt', '']
['that whatever desire Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted with her', '']
['must be the work of her brother, and, without looking farther, it was', '']
['satisfactory; it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made', '']
['him think really ill of her.', '']
['They now walked on in silence, each of them deep in thought. Elizabeth', '']
['was not comfortable; that was impossible; but she was flattered and', '']
['pleased. His wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of', '']
['the highest kind. They soon outstripped the others, and when they had', '']
['reached the carriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were half a quarter of a', '']
['mile behind.', '']
['He then asked her to walk into the house--but she declared herself not', '']
['tired, and they stood together on the lawn. At such a time much might', '']
['have been said, and silence was very awkward. She wanted to talk, but', '']
['there seemed to be an embargo on every subject. At last she recollected', '']
['that she had been travelling, and they talked of Matlock and Dove Dale', '']
['with great perseverance. Yet time and her aunt moved slowly--and her', '']
['patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the tete-a-tete was', '']
["over. On Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner's coming up they were all pressed to go", '']
['into the house and take some refreshment; but this was declined, and', '']
['they parted on each side with utmost politeness. Mr. Darcy handed the', '']
['ladies into the carriage; and when it drove off, Elizabeth saw him', '']
['walking slowly towards the house.', '']
['The observations of her uncle and aunt now began; and each of them', '']
['pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected.', '']
['"He is perfectly well behaved, polite, and unassuming," said her uncle.', '']
['"There _is_ something a little stately in him, to be sure," replied her', '']
['aunt, "but it is confined to his air, and is not unbecoming. I can now', '']
['say with the housekeeper, that though some people may call him proud, I', '']
['have seen nothing of it."', '']
['"I was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us. It was more', '']
['than civil; it was really attentive; and there was no necessity for such', '']
['attention. His acquaintance with Elizabeth was very trifling."', '']
['"To be sure, Lizzy," said her aunt, "he is not so handsome as Wickham;', '']
["or, rather, he has not Wickham's countenance, for his features", '']
['are perfectly good. But how came you to tell me that he was so', '']
['disagreeable?"', '']
['Elizabeth excused herself as well as she could; said that she had liked', '']
['him better when they had met in Kent than before, and that she had never', '']
['seen him so pleasant as this morning.', '']
['"But perhaps he may be a little whimsical in his civilities," replied', '']
['her uncle. "Your great men often are; and therefore I shall not take him', '']
['at his word, as he might change his mind another day, and warn me off', '']
['his grounds."', '']
['Elizabeth felt that they had entirely misunderstood his character, but', '']
['said nothing.', '']
['"From what we have seen of him," continued Mrs. Gardiner, "I really', '']
['should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by', '']
['anybody as he has done by poor Wickham. He has not an ill-natured look.', '']
['On the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he', '']
['speaks. And there is something of dignity in his countenance that would', '']
['not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart. But, to be sure, the', '']
['good lady who showed us his house did give him a most flaming character!', '']
['I could hardly help laughing aloud sometimes. But he is a liberal', '']
['master, I suppose, and _that_ in the eye of a servant comprehends every', '']
['virtue."', '']
['Elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of', '']
['his behaviour to Wickham; and therefore gave them to understand, in', '']
['as guarded a manner as she could, that by what she had heard from', '']
['his relations in Kent, his actions were capable of a very different', '']
['construction; and that his character was by no means so faulty, nor', '']
["Wickham's so amiable, as they had been considered in Hertfordshire. In", '']
['confirmation of this, she related the particulars of all the pecuniary', '']
['transactions in which they had been connected, without actually naming', '']
['her authority, but stating it to be such as might be relied on.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner was surprised and concerned; but as they were now', '']
['approaching the scene of her former pleasures, every idea gave way to', '']
['the charm of recollection; and she was too much engaged in pointing out', '']
['to her husband all the interesting spots in its environs to think of', '']
["anything else. Fatigued as she had been by the morning's walk they", '']
['had no sooner dined than she set off again in quest of her former', '']
['acquaintance, and the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a', '']
["intercourse renewed after many years' discontinuance.", '']
['The occurrences of the day were too full of interest to leave Elizabeth', '']
['much attention for any of these new friends; and she could do nothing', '']
["but think, and think with wonder, of Mr. Darcy's civility, and, above", '']
['all, of his wishing her to be acquainted with his sister.', '']
['Chapter 44', '']
['Elizabeth had settled it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit', '']
['her the very day after her reaching Pemberley; and was consequently', '']
['resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning.', '']
['But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their', '']
['arrival at Lambton, these visitors came. They had been walking about the', '']
['place with some of their new friends, and were just returning to the inn', '']
['to dress themselves for dining with the same family, when the sound of a', '']
['carriage drew them to a window, and they saw a gentleman and a lady in', '']
['a curricle driving up the street. Elizabeth immediately recognizing', '']
['the livery, guessed what it meant, and imparted no small degree of her', '']
['surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she', '']
['expected. Her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment', '']
['of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many', '']
['of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on', '']
['the business. Nothing had ever suggested it before, but they felt that', '']
['there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a', '']
['quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece. While these', '']
['newly-born notions were passing in their heads, the perturbation of', '']
["Elizabeth's feelings was at every moment increasing. She was quite", '']
['amazed at her own discomposure; but amongst other causes of disquiet,', '']
['she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much', '']
['in her favour; and, more than commonly anxious to please, she naturally', '']
['suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her.', '']
['She retreated from the window, fearful of being seen; and as she walked', '']
['up and down the room, endeavouring to compose herself, saw such looks of', '']
['inquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse.', '']
['Miss Darcy and her brother appeared, and this formidable introduction', '']
['took place. With astonishment did Elizabeth see that her new', '']
['acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself. Since her', '']
['being at Lambton, she had heard that Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud;', '']
['but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was', '']
['only exceedingly shy. She found it difficult to obtain even a word from', '']
['her beyond a monosyllable.', '']
['Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though', '']
['little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance', '']
['womanly and graceful. She was less handsome than her brother; but there', '']
['was sense and good humour in her face, and her manners were perfectly', '']
['unassuming and gentle. Elizabeth, who had expected to find in her as', '']
['acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever Mr. Darcy had been, was much', '']
['relieved by discerning such different feelings.', '']
['They had not long been together before Mr. Darcy told her that Bingley', '']
['was also coming to wait on her; and she had barely time to express her', '']
["satisfaction, and prepare for such a visitor, when Bingley's quick", '']
['step was heard on the stairs, and in a moment he entered the room. All', '']
["Elizabeth's anger against him had been long done away; but had she still", '']
['felt any, it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected', '']
['cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again. He', '']
['inquired in a friendly, though general way, after her family, and looked', '']
['and spoke with the same good-humoured ease that he had ever done.', '']
['To Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage', '']
['than to herself. They had long wished to see him. The whole party before', '']
['them, indeed, excited a lively attention. The suspicions which had just', '']
['arisen of Mr. Darcy and their niece directed their observation towards', '']
['each with an earnest though guarded inquiry; and they soon drew from', '']
['those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew', '']
["what it was to love. Of the lady's sensations they remained a little", '']
['in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was', '']
['evident enough.', '']
['Elizabeth, on her side, had much to do. She wanted to ascertain the', '']
['feelings of each of her visitors; she wanted to compose her own, and', '']
['to make herself agreeable to all; and in the latter object, where she', '']
['feared most to fail, she was most sure of success, for those to whom she', '']
['endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour. Bingley', '']
['was ready, Georgiana was eager, and Darcy determined, to be pleased.', '']
['In seeing Bingley, her thoughts naturally flew to her sister; and, oh!', '']
['how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in', '']
['a like manner. Sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on', '']
['former occasions, and once or twice pleased herself with the notion', '']
['that, as he looked at her, he was trying to trace a resemblance. But,', '']
['though this might be imaginary, she could not be deceived as to his', '']
['behaviour to Miss Darcy, who had been set up as a rival to Jane. No look', '']
['appeared on either side that spoke particular regard. Nothing occurred', '']
['between them that could justify the hopes of his sister. On this point', '']
['she was soon satisfied; and two or three little circumstances occurred', '']
['ere they parted, which, in her anxious interpretation, denoted a', '']
['recollection of Jane not untinctured by tenderness, and a wish of saying', '']
['more that might lead to the mention of her, had he dared. He observed', '']
['to her, at a moment when the others were talking together, and in a tone', '']
['which had something of real regret, that it "was a very long time since', '']
['he had had the pleasure of seeing her;" and, before she could reply,', '']
['he added, "It is above eight months. We have not met since the 26th of', '']
['November, when we were all dancing together at Netherfield."', '']
['Elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact; and he afterwards', '']
['took occasion to ask her, when unattended to by any of the rest, whether', '']
['_all_ her sisters were at Longbourn. There was not much in the question,', '']
['nor in the preceding remark; but there was a look and a manner which', '']
['gave them meaning.', '']
['It was not often that she could turn her eyes on Mr. Darcy himself;', '']
['but, whenever she did catch a glimpse, she saw an expression of general', '']
['complaisance, and in all that he said she heard an accent so removed', '']
['from _hauteur_ or disdain of his companions, as convinced her that', '']
['the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed however', '']
['temporary its existence might prove, had at least outlived one day. When', '']
['she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion', '']
['of people with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a', '']
['disgrace--when she saw him thus civil, not only to herself, but to the', '']
['very relations whom he had openly disdained, and recollected their last', '']
['lively scene in Hunsford Parsonage--the difference, the change was', '']
['so great, and struck so forcibly on her mind, that she could hardly', '']
['restrain her astonishment from being visible. Never, even in the company', '']
['of his dear friends at Netherfield, or his dignified relations', '']
['at Rosings, had she seen him so desirous to please, so free from', '']
['self-consequence or unbending reserve, as now, when no importance', '']
['could result from the success of his endeavours, and when even the', '']
['acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw', '']
['down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of Netherfield and', '']
['Rosings.', '']
['Their visitors stayed with them above half-an-hour; and when they arose', '']
['to depart, Mr. Darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing', '']
['their wish of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, and Miss Bennet, to dinner', '']
['at Pemberley, before they left the country. Miss Darcy, though with a', '']
['diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations,', '']
['readily obeyed. Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece, desirous of knowing', '']
['how _she_, whom the invitation most concerned, felt disposed as to its', '']
['acceptance, but Elizabeth had turned away her head. Presuming however,', '']
['that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment than', '']
['any dislike of the proposal, and seeing in her husband, who was fond of', '']
['society, a perfect willingness to accept it, she ventured to engage for', '']
['her attendance, and the day after the next was fixed on.', '']
['Bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing Elizabeth', '']
['again, having still a great deal to say to her, and many inquiries to', '']
['make after all their Hertfordshire friends. Elizabeth, construing all', '']
['this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister, was pleased, and on', '']
['this account, as well as some others, found herself, when their', '']
['visitors left them, capable of considering the last half-hour with some', '']
['satisfaction, though while it was passing, the enjoyment of it had been', '']
['little. Eager to be alone, and fearful of inquiries or hints from her', '']
['uncle and aunt, she stayed with them only long enough to hear their', '']
['favourable opinion of Bingley, and then hurried away to dress.', '']
["But she had no reason to fear Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner's curiosity; it was", '']
['not their wish to force her communication. It was evident that she was', '']
['much better acquainted with Mr. Darcy than they had before any idea of;', '']
['it was evident that he was very much in love with her. They saw much to', '']
['interest, but nothing to justify inquiry.', '']
['Of Mr. Darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well; and, as far', '']
['as their acquaintance reached, there was no fault to find. They could', '']
['not be untouched by his politeness; and had they drawn his character', '']
["from their own feelings and his servant's report, without any reference", '']
['to any other account, the circle in Hertfordshire to which he was known', '']
['would not have recognized it for Mr. Darcy. There was now an interest,', '']
['however, in believing the housekeeper; and they soon became sensible', '']
['that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four', '']
['years old, and whose own manners indicated respectability, was not to be', '']
['hastily rejected. Neither had anything occurred in the intelligence of', '']
['their Lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight. They had', '']
['nothing to accuse him of but pride; pride he probably had, and if not,', '']
['it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small market-town', '']
['where the family did not visit. It was acknowledged, however, that he', '']
['was a liberal man, and did much good among the poor.', '']
['With respect to Wickham, the travellers soon found that he was not held', '']
['there in much estimation; for though the chief of his concerns with the', '']
['son of his patron were imperfectly understood, it was yet a well-known', '']
['fact that, on his quitting Derbyshire, he had left many debts behind', '']
['him, which Mr. Darcy afterwards discharged.', '']
['As for Elizabeth, her thoughts were at Pemberley this evening more than', '']
['the last; and the evening, though as it passed it seemed long, was not', '']
['long enough to determine her feelings towards _one_ in that mansion;', '']
['and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out. She', '']
['certainly did not hate him. No; hatred had vanished long ago, and she', '']
['had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him,', '']
['that could be so called. The respect created by the conviction of his', '']
['valuable qualities, though at first unwillingly admitted, had for some', '']
['time ceased to be repugnant to her feeling; and it was now heightened', '']
['into somewhat of a friendlier nature, by the testimony so highly in', '']
['his favour, and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light,', '']
['which yesterday had produced. But above all, above respect and esteem,', '']
['there was a motive within her of goodwill which could not be overlooked.', '']
['It was gratitude; gratitude, not merely for having once loved her,', '']
['but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and', '']
['acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations', '']
['accompanying her rejection. He who, she had been persuaded, would avoid', '']
['her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most', '']
['eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display', '']
['of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only', '']
['were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent', '']
['on making her known to his sister. Such a change in a man of so much', '']
['pride exciting not only astonishment but gratitude--for to love, ardent', '']
['love, it must be attributed; and as such its impression on her was of a', '']
['sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be', '']
['exactly defined. She respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him,', '']
['she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how', '']
['far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would', '']
['be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her', '']
['fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on her the renewal of', '']
['his addresses.', '']
['It had been settled in the evening between the aunt and the niece, that', '']
["such a striking civility as Miss Darcy's in coming to see them on the", '']
['very day of her arrival at Pemberley, for she had reached it only to a', '']
['late breakfast, ought to be imitated, though it could not be equalled,', '']
['by some exertion of politeness on their side; and, consequently, that', '']
['it would be highly expedient to wait on her at Pemberley the following', '']
['morning. They were, therefore, to go. Elizabeth was pleased; though when', '']
['she asked herself the reason, she had very little to say in reply.', '']
['Mr. Gardiner left them soon after breakfast. The fishing scheme had been', '']
['renewed the day before, and a positive engagement made of his meeting', '']
['some of the gentlemen at Pemberley before noon.', '']
['Chapter 45', '']
["Convinced as Elizabeth now was that Miss Bingley's dislike of her had", '']
['originated in jealousy, she could not help feeling how unwelcome her', '']
['appearance at Pemberley must be to her, and was curious to know with how', '']
["much civility on that lady's side the acquaintance would now be renewed.", '']
['On reaching the house, they were shown through the hall into the saloon,', '']
['whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer. Its windows', '']
['opening to the ground, admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody', '']
['hills behind the house, and of the beautiful oaks and Spanish chestnuts', '']
['which were scattered over the intermediate lawn.', '']
['In this house they were received by Miss Darcy, who was sitting there', '']
['with Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley, and the lady with whom she lived in', '']
["London. Georgiana's reception of them was very civil, but attended with", '']
['all the embarrassment which, though proceeding from shyness and the fear', '']
['of doing wrong, would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior', '']
['the belief of her being proud and reserved. Mrs. Gardiner and her niece,', '']
['however, did her justice, and pitied her.', '']
['By Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley they were noticed only by a curtsey; and,', '']
['on their being seated, a pause, awkward as such pauses must always be,', '']
['succeeded for a few moments. It was first broken by Mrs. Annesley, a', '']
['genteel, agreeable-looking woman, whose endeavour to introduce some kind', '']
['of discourse proved her to be more truly well-bred than either of the', '']
['others; and between her and Mrs. Gardiner, with occasional help from', '']
['Elizabeth, the conversation was carried on. Miss Darcy looked as if she', '']
['wished for courage enough to join in it; and sometimes did venture a', '']
['short sentence when there was least danger of its being heard.', '']
['Elizabeth soon saw that she was herself closely watched by Miss Bingley,', '']
['and that she could not speak a word, especially to Miss Darcy, without', '']
['calling her attention. This observation would not have prevented her', '']
['from trying to talk to the latter, had they not been seated at an', '']
['inconvenient distance; but she was not sorry to be spared the necessity', '']
['of saying much. Her own thoughts were employing her. She expected every', '']
['moment that some of the gentlemen would enter the room. She wished, she', '']
['feared that the master of the house might be amongst them; and whether', '']
['she wished or feared it most, she could scarcely determine. After', '']
['sitting in this manner a quarter of an hour without hearing Miss', '']
["Bingley's voice, Elizabeth was roused by receiving from her a cold", '']
['inquiry after the health of her family. She answered with equal', '']
['indifference and brevity, and the other said no more.', '']
['The next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the', '']
['entrance of servants with cold meat, cake, and a variety of all the', '']
['finest fruits in season; but this did not take place till after many', '']
['a significant look and smile from Mrs. Annesley to Miss Darcy had been', '']
['given, to remind her of her post. There was now employment for the whole', '']
['party--for though they could not all talk, they could all eat; and the', '']
['beautiful pyramids of grapes, nectarines, and peaches soon collected', '']
['them round the table.', '']
['While thus engaged, Elizabeth had a fair opportunity of deciding whether', '']
['she most feared or wished for the appearance of Mr. Darcy, by the', '']
['feelings which prevailed on his entering the room; and then, though but', '']
['a moment before she had believed her wishes to predominate, she began to', '']
['regret that he came.', '']
['He had been some time with Mr. Gardiner, who, with two or three other', '']
['gentlemen from the house, was engaged by the river, and had left him', '']
['only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to', '']
['Georgiana that morning. No sooner did he appear than Elizabeth wisely', '']
['resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed; a resolution the more', '']
['necessary to be made, but perhaps not the more easily kept, because she', '']
['saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them,', '']
['and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour', '']
['when he first came into the room. In no countenance was attentive', '']
["curiosity so strongly marked as in Miss Bingley's, in spite of the", '']
['smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its', '']
['objects; for jealousy had not yet made her desperate, and her attentions', '']
["to Mr. Darcy were by no means over. Miss Darcy, on her brother's", '']
['entrance, exerted herself much more to talk, and Elizabeth saw that he', '']
['was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted, and forwarded', '']
['as much as possible, every attempt at conversation on either side. Miss', '']
['Bingley saw all this likewise; and, in the imprudence of anger, took the', '']
['first opportunity of saying, with sneering civility:', '']
['"Pray, Miss Eliza, are not the ----shire Militia removed from Meryton?', '']
['They must be a great loss to _your_ family."', '']
["In Darcy's presence she dared not mention Wickham's name; but Elizabeth", '']
['instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts; and the', '']
["various recollections connected with him gave her a moment's distress;", '']
['but exerting herself vigorously to repel the ill-natured attack, she', '']
['presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone. While', '']
['she spoke, an involuntary glance showed her Darcy, with a heightened', '']
['complexion, earnestly looking at her, and his sister overcome with', '']
['confusion, and unable to lift up her eyes. Had Miss Bingley known what', '']
['pain she was then giving her beloved friend, she undoubtedly would', '']
['have refrained from the hint; but she had merely intended to discompose', '']
['Elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed', '']
['her partial, to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in', '']
["Darcy's opinion, and, perhaps, to remind the latter of all the follies", '']
['and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected', '']
["with that corps. Not a syllable had ever reached her of Miss Darcy's", '']
['meditated elopement. To no creature had it been revealed, where secrecy', '']
["was possible, except to Elizabeth; and from all Bingley's connections", '']
['her brother was particularly anxious to conceal it, from the very', '']
['wish which Elizabeth had long ago attributed to him, of their becoming', '']
['hereafter her own. He had certainly formed such a plan, and without', '']
['meaning that it should affect his endeavour to separate him from Miss', '']
['Bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern', '']
['for the welfare of his friend.', '']
["Elizabeth's collected behaviour, however, soon quieted his emotion; and", '']
['as Miss Bingley, vexed and disappointed, dared not approach nearer to', '']
['Wickham, Georgiana also recovered in time, though not enough to be able', '']
['to speak any more. Her brother, whose eye she feared to meet, scarcely', '']
['recollected her interest in the affair, and the very circumstance which', '']
['had been designed to turn his thoughts from Elizabeth seemed to have', '']
['fixed them on her more and more cheerfully.', '']
['Their visit did not continue long after the question and answer above', '']
['mentioned; and while Mr. Darcy was attending them to their carriage Miss', '']
["Bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on Elizabeth's person,", '']
["behaviour, and dress. But Georgiana would not join her. Her brother's", '']
['recommendation was enough to ensure her favour; his judgement could not', '']
['err. And he had spoken in such terms of Elizabeth as to leave Georgiana', '']
['without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable. When', '']
['Darcy returned to the saloon, Miss Bingley could not help repeating to', '']
['him some part of what she had been saying to his sister.', '']
['"How very ill Miss Eliza Bennet looks this morning, Mr. Darcy," she', '']
['cried; "I never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is since', '']
['the winter. She is grown so brown and coarse! Louisa and I were agreeing', '']
['that we should not have known her again."', '']
['However little Mr. Darcy might have liked such an address, he contented', '']
['himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than', '']
['her being rather tanned, no miraculous consequence of travelling in the', '']
['summer.', '']
['"For my own part," she rejoined, "I must confess that I never could', '']
['see any beauty in her. Her face is too thin; her complexion has no', '']
['brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. Her nose', '']
['wants character--there is nothing marked in its lines. Her teeth are', '']
['tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes,', '']
['which have sometimes been called so fine, I could never see anything', '']
['extraordinary in them. They have a sharp, shrewish look, which I do', '']
['not like at all; and in her air altogether there is a self-sufficiency', '']
['without fashion, which is intolerable."', '']
['Persuaded as Miss Bingley was that Darcy admired Elizabeth, this was not', '']
['the best method of recommending herself; but angry people are not always', '']
['wise; and in seeing him at last look somewhat nettled, she had all the', '']
['success she expected. He was resolutely silent, however, and, from a', '']
['determination of making him speak, she continued:', '']
['"I remember, when we first knew her in Hertfordshire, how amazed we all', '']
['were to find that she was a reputed beauty; and I particularly recollect', '']
["your saying one night, after they had been dining at Netherfield, '_She_", '']
["a beauty!--I should as soon call her mother a wit.' But afterwards she", '']
['seemed to improve on you, and I believe you thought her rather pretty at', '']
['one time."', '']
['"Yes," replied Darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but _that_', '']
['was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have', '']
['considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance."', '']
['He then went away, and Miss Bingley was left to all the satisfaction of', '']
['having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner and Elizabeth talked of all that had occurred during their', '']
['visit, as they returned, except what had particularly interested them', '']
['both. The look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed,', '']
['except of the person who had mostly engaged their attention. They talked', '']
['of his sister, his friends, his house, his fruit--of everything but', '']
['himself; yet Elizabeth was longing to know what Mrs. Gardiner thought of', '']
["him, and Mrs. Gardiner would have been highly gratified by her niece's", '']
['beginning the subject.', '']
['Chapter 46', '']
['Elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from', '']
['Jane on their first arrival at Lambton; and this disappointment had been', '']
['renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there; but', '']
['on the third her repining was over, and her sister justified, by the', '']
['receipt of two letters from her at once, on one of which was marked that', '']
['it had been missent elsewhere. Elizabeth was not surprised at it, as', '']
['Jane had written the direction remarkably ill.', '']
['They had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in; and', '']
['her uncle and aunt, leaving her to enjoy them in quiet, set off by', '']
['themselves. The one missent must first be attended to; it had been', '']
['written five days ago. The beginning contained an account of all their', '']
['little parties and engagements, with such news as the country afforded;', '']
['but the latter half, which was dated a day later, and written in evident', '']
['agitation, gave more important intelligence. It was to this effect:', '']
['"Since writing the above, dearest Lizzy, something has occurred of a', '']
['most unexpected and serious nature; but I am afraid of alarming you--be', '']
['assured that we are all well. What I have to say relates to poor Lydia.', '']
['An express came at twelve last night, just as we were all gone to bed,', '']
['from Colonel Forster, to inform us that she was gone off to Scotland', '']
['with one of his officers; to own the truth, with Wickham! Imagine our', '']
['surprise. To Kitty, however, it does not seem so wholly unexpected. I am', '']
['very, very sorry. So imprudent a match on both sides! But I am willing', '']
['to hope the best, and that his character has been misunderstood.', '']
['Thoughtless and indiscreet I can easily believe him, but this step', '']
['(and let us rejoice over it) marks nothing bad at heart. His choice is', '']
['disinterested at least, for he must know my father can give her nothing.', '']
['Our poor mother is sadly grieved. My father bears it better. How', '']
['thankful am I that we never let them know what has been said against', '']
['him; we must forget it ourselves. They were off Saturday night about', '']
['twelve, as is conjectured, but were not missed till yesterday morning at', '']
['eight. The express was sent off directly. My dear Lizzy, they must have', '']
['passed within ten miles of us. Colonel Forster gives us reason to expect', '']
['him here soon. Lydia left a few lines for his wife, informing her of', '']
['their intention. I must conclude, for I cannot be long from my poor', '']
['mother. I am afraid you will not be able to make it out, but I hardly', '']
['know what I have written."', '']
['Without allowing herself time for consideration, and scarcely knowing', '']
['what she felt, Elizabeth on finishing this letter instantly seized the', '']
['other, and opening it with the utmost impatience, read as follows: it', '']
['had been written a day later than the conclusion of the first.', '']
['"By this time, my dearest sister, you have received my hurried letter; I', '']
['wish this may be more intelligible, but though not confined for time, my', '']
['head is so bewildered that I cannot answer for being coherent. Dearest', '']
['Lizzy, I hardly know what I would write, but I have bad news for you,', '']
['and it cannot be delayed. Imprudent as the marriage between Mr. Wickham', '']
['and our poor Lydia would be, we are now anxious to be assured it has', '']
['taken place, for there is but too much reason to fear they are not gone', '']
['to Scotland. Colonel Forster came yesterday, having left Brighton the', '']
["day before, not many hours after the express. Though Lydia's short", '']
['letter to Mrs. F. gave them to understand that they were going to Gretna', '']
['Green, something was dropped by Denny expressing his belief that W.', '']
['never intended to go there, or to marry Lydia at all, which was', '']
['repeated to Colonel F., who, instantly taking the alarm, set off from B.', '']
['intending to trace their route. He did trace them easily to Clapham,', '']
['but no further; for on entering that place, they removed into a hackney', '']
['coach, and dismissed the chaise that brought them from Epsom. All that', '']
['is known after this is, that they were seen to continue the London road.', '']
['I know not what to think. After making every possible inquiry on that', '']
['side London, Colonel F. came on into Hertfordshire, anxiously renewing', '']
['them at all the turnpikes, and at the inns in Barnet and Hatfield, but', '']
['without any success--no such people had been seen to pass through. With', '']
['the kindest concern he came on to Longbourn, and broke his apprehensions', '']
['to us in a manner most creditable to his heart. I am sincerely grieved', '']
['for him and Mrs. F., but no one can throw any blame on them. Our', '']
['distress, my dear Lizzy, is very great. My father and mother believe the', '']
['worst, but I cannot think so ill of him. Many circumstances might make', '']
['it more eligible for them to be married privately in town than to pursue', '']
['their first plan; and even if _he_ could form such a design against a', '']
["young woman of Lydia's connections, which is not likely, can I suppose", '']
['her so lost to everything? Impossible! I grieve to find, however, that', '']
['Colonel F. is not disposed to depend upon their marriage; he shook his', '']
['head when I expressed my hopes, and said he feared W. was not a man to', '']
['be trusted. My poor mother is really ill, and keeps her room. Could she', '']
['exert herself, it would be better; but this is not to be expected. And', '']
['as to my father, I never in my life saw him so affected. Poor Kitty has', '']
['anger for having concealed their attachment; but as it was a matter of', '']
['confidence, one cannot wonder. I am truly glad, dearest Lizzy, that you', '']
['have been spared something of these distressing scenes; but now, as the', '']
['first shock is over, shall I own that I long for your return? I am not', '']
['so selfish, however, as to press for it, if inconvenient. Adieu! I', '']
['take up my pen again to do what I have just told you I would not; but', '']
['circumstances are such that I cannot help earnestly begging you all to', '']
['come here as soon as possible. I know my dear uncle and aunt so well,', '']
['that I am not afraid of requesting it, though I have still something', '']
['more to ask of the former. My father is going to London with Colonel', '']
['Forster instantly, to try to discover her. What he means to do I am sure', '']
['I know not; but his excessive distress will not allow him to pursue any', '']
['measure in the best and safest way, and Colonel Forster is obliged to', '']
['be at Brighton again to-morrow evening. In such an exigence, my', '']
["uncle's advice and assistance would be everything in the world; he will", '']
['immediately comprehend what I must feel, and I rely upon his goodness."', '']
['"Oh! where, where is my uncle?" cried Elizabeth, darting from her seat', '']
['as she finished the letter, in eagerness to follow him, without losing', '']
['a moment of the time so precious; but as she reached the door it was', '']
['opened by a servant, and Mr. Darcy appeared. Her pale face and impetuous', '']
['manner made him start, and before he could recover himself to speak,', '']
["she, in whose mind every idea was superseded by Lydia's situation,", '']
['hastily exclaimed, "I beg your pardon, but I must leave you. I must find', '']
['Mr. Gardiner this moment, on business that cannot be delayed; I have not', '']
['an instant to lose."', '']
['"Good God! what is the matter?" cried he, with more feeling than', '']
['politeness; then recollecting himself, "I will not detain you a minute;', '']
['but let me, or let the servant go after Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. You are', '']
['not well enough; you cannot go yourself."', '']
['Elizabeth hesitated, but her knees trembled under her and she felt how', '']
['little would be gained by her attempting to pursue them. Calling back', '']
['the servant, therefore, she commissioned him, though in so breathless', '']
['an accent as made her almost unintelligible, to fetch his master and', '']
['mistress home instantly.', '']
['On his quitting the room she sat down, unable to support herself, and', '']
['looking so miserably ill, that it was impossible for Darcy to leave her,', '']
['or to refrain from saying, in a tone of gentleness and commiseration,', '']
['"Let me call your maid. Is there nothing you could take to give you', '']
['present relief? A glass of wine; shall I get you one? You are very ill."', '']
['"No, I thank you," she replied, endeavouring to recover herself. "There', '']
['is nothing the matter with me. I am quite well; I am only distressed by', '']
['some dreadful news which I have just received from Longbourn."', '']
['She burst into tears as she alluded to it, and for a few minutes could', '']
['not speak another word. Darcy, in wretched suspense, could only say', '']
['something indistinctly of his concern, and observe her in compassionate', '']
['silence. At length she spoke again. "I have just had a letter from Jane,', '']
['with such dreadful news. It cannot be concealed from anyone. My younger', '']
['sister has left all her friends--has eloped; has thrown herself into', '']
['the power of--of Mr. Wickham. They are gone off together from Brighton.', '']
['_You_ know him too well to doubt the rest. She has no money, no', '']
['connections, nothing that can tempt him to--she is lost for ever."', '']
['Darcy was fixed in astonishment. "When I consider," she added in a yet', '']
['more agitated voice, "that I might have prevented it! I, who knew what', '']
['he was. Had I but explained some part of it only--some part of what I', '']
['learnt, to my own family! Had his character been known, this could not', '']
['have happened. But it is all--all too late now."', '']
['"I am grieved indeed," cried Darcy; "grieved--shocked. But is it', '']
['certain--absolutely certain?"', '']
['"Oh, yes! They left Brighton together on Sunday night, and were traced', '']
['almost to London, but not beyond; they are certainly not gone to', '']
['Scotland."', '']
['"And what has been done, what has been attempted, to recover her?"', '']
['"My father is gone to London, and Jane has written to beg my uncle\'s', '']
['immediate assistance; and we shall be off, I hope, in half-an-hour. But', '']
['nothing can be done--I know very well that nothing can be done. How is', '']
['such a man to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered? I have', '']
['not the smallest hope. It is every way horrible!"', '']
['Darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence.', '']
['"When _my_ eyes were opened to his real character--Oh! had I known what', '']
['I ought, what I dared to do! But I knew not--I was afraid of doing too', '']
['much. Wretched, wretched mistake!"', '']
['Darcy made no answer. He seemed scarcely to hear her, and was walking', '']
['up and down the room in earnest meditation, his brow contracted, his air', '']
['gloomy. Elizabeth soon observed, and instantly understood it. Her', '']
['power was sinking; everything _must_ sink under such a proof of family', '']
['weakness, such an assurance of the deepest disgrace. She could neither', '']
['wonder nor condemn, but the belief of his self-conquest brought nothing', '']
['consolatory to her bosom, afforded no palliation of her distress. It', '']
['was, on the contrary, exactly calculated to make her understand her own', '']
['wishes; and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved', '']
['him, as now, when all love must be vain.', '']
['But self, though it would intrude, could not engross her. Lydia--the', '']
['humiliation, the misery she was bringing on them all, soon swallowed', '']
['up every private care; and covering her face with her handkerchief,', '']
['Elizabeth was soon lost to everything else; and, after a pause of', '']
['several minutes, was only recalled to a sense of her situation by', '']
['the voice of her companion, who, in a manner which, though it spoke', '']
['compassion, spoke likewise restraint, said, "I am afraid you have been', '']
['long desiring my absence, nor have I anything to plead in excuse of my', '']
['stay, but real, though unavailing concern. Would to Heaven that anything', '']
['could be either said or done on my part that might offer consolation to', '']
['such distress! But I will not torment you with vain wishes, which may', '']
['seem purposely to ask for your thanks. This unfortunate affair will, I', '']
["fear, prevent my sister's having the pleasure of seeing you at Pemberley", '']
['to-day."', '']
['"Oh, yes. Be so kind as to apologise for us to Miss Darcy. Say that', '']
['urgent business calls us home immediately. Conceal the unhappy truth as', '']
['long as it is possible, I know it cannot be long."', '']
['He readily assured her of his secrecy; again expressed his sorrow for', '']
['her distress, wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present', '']
['reason to hope, and leaving his compliments for her relations, with only', '']
['one serious, parting look, went away.', '']
['As he quitted the room, Elizabeth felt how improbable it was that they', '']
['should ever see each other again on such terms of cordiality as', '']
['had marked their several meetings in Derbyshire; and as she threw a', '']
['retrospective glance over the whole of their acquaintance, so full', '']
['of contradictions and varieties, sighed at the perverseness of those', '']
['feelings which would now have promoted its continuance, and would', '']
['formerly have rejoiced in its termination.', '']
["If gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection, Elizabeth's", '']
['change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty. But if', '']
['otherwise--if regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or', '']
['unnatural, in comparison of what is so often described as arising on', '']
['a first interview with its object, and even before two words have been', '']
['exchanged, nothing can be said in her defence, except that she had given', '']
['somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for Wickham,', '']
['and that its ill success might, perhaps, authorise her to seek the other', '']
['less interesting mode of attachment. Be that as it may, she saw him', '']
["go with regret; and in this early example of what Lydia's infamy must", '']
['produce, found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched', '']
["business. Never, since reading Jane's second letter, had she entertained", '']
["a hope of Wickham's meaning to marry her. No one but Jane, she thought,", '']
['could flatter herself with such an expectation. Surprise was the least', '']
['of her feelings on this development. While the contents of the first', '']
['letter remained in her mind, she was all surprise--all astonishment that', '']
['Wickham should marry a girl whom it was impossible he could marry', '']
['for money; and how Lydia could ever have attached him had appeared', '']
['incomprehensible. But now it was all too natural. For such an attachment', '']
['as this she might have sufficient charms; and though she did not suppose', '']
['Lydia to be deliberately engaging in an elopement without the intention', '']
['of marriage, she had no difficulty in believing that neither her virtue', '']
['nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy prey.', '']
['She had never perceived, while the regiment was in Hertfordshire, that', '']
['Lydia had any partiality for him; but she was convinced that Lydia', '']
['wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody. Sometimes one', '']
['officer, sometimes another, had been her favourite, as their attentions', '']
['raised them in her opinion. Her affections had continually been', '']
['fluctuating but never without an object. The mischief of neglect and', '']
['mistaken indulgence towards such a girl--oh! how acutely did she now', '']
['feel it!', '']
['She was wild to be at home--to hear, to see, to be upon the spot to', '']
['share with Jane in the cares that must now fall wholly upon her, in a', '']
['family so deranged, a father absent, a mother incapable of exertion, and', '']
['requiring constant attendance; and though almost persuaded that nothing', '']
["could be done for Lydia, her uncle's interference seemed of the utmost", '']
['importance, and till he entered the room her impatience was severe. Mr.', '']
["and Mrs. Gardiner had hurried back in alarm, supposing by the servant's", '']
['account that their niece was taken suddenly ill; but satisfying them', '']
['instantly on that head, she eagerly communicated the cause of their', '']
['summons, reading the two letters aloud, and dwelling on the postscript', '']
['of the last with trembling energy.--Though Lydia had never been a', '']
['favourite with them, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner could not but be deeply', '']
['afflicted. Not Lydia only, but all were concerned in it; and after the', '']
['first exclamations of surprise and horror, Mr. Gardiner promised every', '']
['assistance in his power. Elizabeth, though expecting no less, thanked', '']
['him with tears of gratitude; and all three being actuated by one spirit,', '']
['everything relating to their journey was speedily settled. They were to', '']
['be off as soon as possible. "But what is to be done about Pemberley?"', '']
['cried Mrs. Gardiner. "John told us Mr. Darcy was here when you sent for', '']
['us; was it so?"', '']
['"Yes; and I told him we should not be able to keep our engagement.', '']
['_That_ is all settled."', '']
['"What is all settled?" repeated the other, as she ran into her room to', '']
['prepare. "And are they upon such terms as for her to disclose the real', '']
['truth? Oh, that I knew how it was!"', '']
['But wishes were vain, or at least could only serve to amuse her in the', '']
['hurry and confusion of the following hour. Had Elizabeth been at leisure', '']
['to be idle, she would have remained certain that all employment was', '']
['impossible to one so wretched as herself; but she had her share of', '']
['business as well as her aunt, and amongst the rest there were notes to', '']
['be written to all their friends at Lambton, with false excuses for their', '']
['sudden departure. An hour, however, saw the whole completed; and Mr.', '']
['Gardiner meanwhile having settled his account at the inn, nothing', '']
['remained to be done but to go; and Elizabeth, after all the misery of', '']
['the morning, found herself, in a shorter space of time than she could', '']
['have supposed, seated in the carriage, and on the road to Longbourn.', '']
['Chapter 47', '']
['"I have been thinking it over again, Elizabeth," said her uncle, as they', '']
['drove from the town; "and really, upon serious consideration, I am much', '']
['more inclined than I was to judge as your eldest sister does on the', '']
['matter. It appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should', '']
['form such a design against a girl who is by no means unprotected or', '']
["friendless, and who was actually staying in his colonel's family, that I", '']
['am strongly inclined to hope the best. Could he expect that her friends', '']
['would not step forward? Could he expect to be noticed again by the', '']
['regiment, after such an affront to Colonel Forster? His temptation is', '']
['not adequate to the risk!"', '']
['"Do you really think so?" cried Elizabeth, brightening up for a moment.', '']
['"Upon my word," said Mrs. Gardiner, "I begin to be of your uncle\'s', '']
['opinion. It is really too great a violation of decency, honour, and', '']
['interest, for him to be guilty of. I cannot think so very ill of', '']
['Wickham. Can you yourself, Lizzy, so wholly give him up, as to believe', '']
['him capable of it?"', '']
['"Not, perhaps, of neglecting his own interest; but of every other', '']
['neglect I can believe him capable. If, indeed, it should be so! But I', '']
['dare not hope it. Why should they not go on to Scotland if that had been', '']
['the case?"', '']
['"In the first place," replied Mr. Gardiner, "there is no absolute proof', '']
['that they are not gone to Scotland."', '']
['"Oh! but their removing from the chaise into a hackney coach is such', '']
['a presumption! And, besides, no traces of them were to be found on the', '']
['Barnet road."', '']
['"Well, then--supposing them to be in London. They may be there, though', '']
['for the purpose of concealment, for no more exceptional purpose. It is', '']
['not likely that money should be very abundant on either side; and it', '']
['might strike them that they could be more economically, though less', '']
['expeditiously, married in London than in Scotland."', '']
['"But why all this secrecy? Why any fear of detection? Why must their', '']
['marriage be private? Oh, no, no--this is not likely. His most particular', '']
["friend, you see by Jane's account, was persuaded of his never intending", '']
['to marry her. Wickham will never marry a woman without some money. He', '']
['cannot afford it. And what claims has Lydia--what attraction has she', '']
['beyond youth, health, and good humour that could make him, for her sake,', '']
['forego every chance of benefiting himself by marrying well? As to what', '']
['restraint the apprehensions of disgrace in the corps might throw on a', '']
['dishonourable elopement with her, I am not able to judge; for I know', '']
['nothing of the effects that such a step might produce. But as to your', '']
['other objection, I am afraid it will hardly hold good. Lydia has', '']
["no brothers to step forward; and he might imagine, from my father's", '']
['behaviour, from his indolence and the little attention he has ever', '']
['seemed to give to what was going forward in his family, that _he_ would', '']
['do as little, and think as little about it, as any father could do, in', '']
['such a matter."', '']
['"But can you think that Lydia is so lost to everything but love of him', '']
['as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage?"', '']
['"It does seem, and it is most shocking indeed," replied Elizabeth, with', '']
['tears in her eyes, "that a sister\'s sense of decency and virtue in such', '']
['a point should admit of doubt. But, really, I know not what to say.', '']
['Perhaps I am not doing her justice. But she is very young; she has never', '']
['been taught to think on serious subjects; and for the last half-year,', '']
['nay, for a twelvemonth--she has been given up to nothing but amusement', '']
['and vanity. She has been allowed to dispose of her time in the most idle', '']
['and frivolous manner, and to adopt any opinions that came in her way.', '']
['Since the ----shire were first quartered in Meryton, nothing but love,', '']
['flirtation, and officers have been in her head. She has been doing', '']
['everything in her power by thinking and talking on the subject, to give', '']
['greater--what shall I call it? susceptibility to her feelings; which are', '']
['naturally lively enough. And we all know that Wickham has every charm of', '']
['person and address that can captivate a woman."', '']
['"But you see that Jane," said her aunt, "does not think so very ill of', '']
['Wickham as to believe him capable of the attempt."', '']
['"Of whom does Jane ever think ill? And who is there, whatever might be', '']
['their former conduct, that she would think capable of such an attempt,', '']
['till it were proved against them? But Jane knows, as well as I do, what', '']
['Wickham really is. We both know that he has been profligate in every', '']
['sense of the word; that he has neither integrity nor honour; that he is', '']
['as false and deceitful as he is insinuating."', '']
['"And do you really know all this?" cried Mrs. Gardiner, whose curiosity', '']
['as to the mode of her intelligence was all alive.', '']
['"I do indeed," replied Elizabeth, colouring. "I told you, the other day,', '']
['of his infamous behaviour to Mr. Darcy; and you yourself, when last at', '']
['Longbourn, heard in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved', '']
['with such forbearance and liberality towards him. And there are other', '']
['circumstances which I am not at liberty--which it is not worth while to', '']
['relate; but his lies about the whole Pemberley family are endless. From', '']
['what he said of Miss Darcy I was thoroughly prepared to see a proud,', '']
['reserved, disagreeable girl. Yet he knew to the contrary himself. He', '']
['must know that she was as amiable and unpretending as we have found', '']
['her."', '']
['"But does Lydia know nothing of this? can she be ignorant of what you', '']
['and Jane seem so well to understand?"', '']
['"Oh, yes!--that, that is the worst of all. Till I was in Kent, and saw', '']
['so much both of Mr. Darcy and his relation Colonel Fitzwilliam, I was', '']
['ignorant of the truth myself. And when I returned home, the ----shire', '']
["was to leave Meryton in a week or fortnight's time. As that was the", '']
['case, neither Jane, to whom I related the whole, nor I, thought it', '']
['necessary to make our knowledge public; for of what use could', '']
['it apparently be to any one, that the good opinion which all the', '']
['neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown? And even when it was', '']
['settled that Lydia should go with Mrs. Forster, the necessity of opening', '']
['her eyes to his character never occurred to me. That _she_ could be', '']
['in any danger from the deception never entered my head. That such a', '']
['consequence as _this_ could ensue, you may easily believe, was far', '']
['enough from my thoughts."', '']
['"When they all removed to Brighton, therefore, you had no reason, I', '']
['suppose, to believe them fond of each other?"', '']
['"Not the slightest. I can remember no symptom of affection on either', '']
['side; and had anything of the kind been perceptible, you must be aware', '']
['that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown away. When first', '']
['he entered the corps, she was ready enough to admire him; but so we all', '']
['were. Every girl in or near Meryton was out of her senses about him for', '']
['the first two months; but he never distinguished _her_ by any particular', '']
['attention; and, consequently, after a moderate period of extravagant and', '']
['wild admiration, her fancy for him gave way, and others of the regiment,', '']
['who treated her with more distinction, again became her favourites."', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
['It may be easily believed, that however little of novelty could be added', '']
['to their fears, hopes, and conjectures, on this interesting subject, by', '']
['its repeated discussion, no other could detain them from it long, during', '']
["the whole of the journey. From Elizabeth's thoughts it was never absent.", '']
['Fixed there by the keenest of all anguish, self-reproach, she could find', '']
['no interval of ease or forgetfulness.', '']
['They travelled as expeditiously as possible, and, sleeping one night', '']
['on the road, reached Longbourn by dinner time the next day. It was a', '']
['comfort to Elizabeth to consider that Jane could not have been wearied', '']
['by long expectations.', '']
['The little Gardiners, attracted by the sight of a chaise, were standing', '']
['on the steps of the house as they entered the paddock; and, when the', '']
['carriage drove up to the door, the joyful surprise that lighted up their', '']
['faces, and displayed itself over their whole bodies, in a variety of', '']
['capers and frisks, was the first pleasing earnest of their welcome.', '']
['Elizabeth jumped out; and, after giving each of them a hasty kiss,', '']
['hurried into the vestibule, where Jane, who came running down from her', '']
["mother's apartment, immediately met her.", '']
['Elizabeth, as she affectionately embraced her, whilst tears filled the', '']
['eyes of both, lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been', '']
['heard of the fugitives.', '']
['"Not yet," replied Jane. "But now that my dear uncle is come, I hope', '']
['everything will be well."', '']
['"Is my father in town?"', '']
['"Yes, he went on Tuesday, as I wrote you word."', '']
['"And have you heard from him often?"', '']
['"We have heard only twice. He wrote me a few lines on Wednesday to say', '']
['that he had arrived in safety, and to give me his directions, which I', '']
['particularly begged him to do. He merely added that he should not write', '']
['again till he had something of importance to mention."', '']
['"And my mother--how is she? How are you all?"', '']
['"My mother is tolerably well, I trust; though her spirits are greatly', '']
['shaken. She is up stairs and will have great satisfaction in seeing you', '']
['all. She does not yet leave her dressing-room. Mary and Kitty, thank', '']
['Heaven, are quite well."', '']
['"But you--how are you?" cried Elizabeth. "You look pale. How much you', '']
['must have gone through!"', '']
['Her sister, however, assured her of her being perfectly well; and their', '']
['conversation, which had been passing while Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were', '']
['engaged with their children, was now put an end to by the approach', '']
['of the whole party. Jane ran to her uncle and aunt, and welcomed and', '']
['thanked them both, with alternate smiles and tears.', '']
['When they were all in the drawing-room, the questions which Elizabeth', '']
['had already asked were of course repeated by the others, and they soon', '']
['found that Jane had no intelligence to give. The sanguine hope of', '']
['good, however, which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet', '']
['deserted her; she still expected that it would all end well, and that', '']
['every morning would bring some letter, either from Lydia or her father,', '']
['to explain their proceedings, and, perhaps, announce their marriage.', '']
["Mrs. Bennet, to whose apartment they all repaired, after a few minutes'", '']
['conversation together, received them exactly as might be expected; with', '']
['tears and lamentations of regret, invectives against the villainous', '']
['conduct of Wickham, and complaints of her own sufferings and ill-usage;', '']
['blaming everybody but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the', '']
['errors of her daughter must principally be owing.', '']
['"If I had been able," said she, "to carry my point in going to Brighton,', '']
['with all my family, _this_ would not have happened; but poor dear Lydia', '']
['had nobody to take care of her. Why did the Forsters ever let her go out', '']
['of their sight? I am sure there was some great neglect or other on their', '']
['side, for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been', '']
['well looked after. I always thought they were very unfit to have the', '']
['charge of her; but I was overruled, as I always am. Poor dear child!', '']
["And now here's Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham,", '']
['wherever he meets him and then he will be killed, and what is to become', '']
['of us all? The Collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his', '']
['grave, and if you are not kind to us, brother, I do not know what we', '']
['shall do."', '']
['They all exclaimed against such terrific ideas; and Mr. Gardiner, after', '']
['general assurances of his affection for her and all her family, told her', '']
['that he meant to be in London the very next day, and would assist Mr.', '']
['Bennet in every endeavour for recovering Lydia.', '']
['"Do not give way to useless alarm," added he; "though it is right to be', '']
['prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain.', '']
['It is not quite a week since they left Brighton. In a few days more we', '']
['may gain some news of them; and till we know that they are not married,', '']
['and have no design of marrying, do not let us give the matter over as', '']
['lost. As soon as I get to town I shall go to my brother, and make', '']
['him come home with me to Gracechurch Street; and then we may consult', '']
['together as to what is to be done."', '']
['"Oh! my dear brother," replied Mrs. Bennet, "that is exactly what I', '']
['could most wish for. And now do, when you get to town, find them out,', '']
['wherever they may be; and if they are not married already, _make_ them', '']
['marry. And as for wedding clothes, do not let them wait for that, but', '']
['tell Lydia she shall have as much money as she chooses to buy them,', '']
['after they are married. And, above all, keep Mr. Bennet from fighting.', '']
['Tell him what a dreadful state I am in, that I am frighted out of my', '']
['wits--and have such tremblings, such flutterings, all over me--such', '']
['spasms in my side and pains in my head, and such beatings at heart, that', '']
['I can get no rest by night nor by day. And tell my dear Lydia not to', '']
['give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me, for she does', '']
['not know which are the best warehouses. Oh, brother, how kind you are! I', '']
['know you will contrive it all."', '']
['But Mr. Gardiner, though he assured her again of his earnest endeavours', '']
['in the cause, could not avoid recommending moderation to her, as well', '']
['in her hopes as her fear; and after talking with her in this manner till', '']
['dinner was on the table, they all left her to vent all her feelings on', '']
['the housekeeper, who attended in the absence of her daughters.', '']
['Though her brother and sister were persuaded that there was no real', '']
['occasion for such a seclusion from the family, they did not attempt to', '']
['oppose it, for they knew that she had not prudence enough to hold her', '']
['tongue before the servants, while they waited at table, and judged it', '']
['better that _one_ only of the household, and the one whom they could', '']
['most trust should comprehend all her fears and solicitude on the', '']
['subject.', '']
['In the dining-room they were soon joined by Mary and Kitty, who had been', '']
['too busily engaged in their separate apartments to make their appearance', '']
['before. One came from her books, and the other from her toilette. The', '']
['faces of both, however, were tolerably calm; and no change was visible', '']
['in either, except that the loss of her favourite sister, or the anger', '']
['which she had herself incurred in this business, had given more of', '']
['fretfulness than usual to the accents of Kitty. As for Mary, she was', '']
['mistress enough of herself to whisper to Elizabeth, with a countenance', '']
['of grave reflection, soon after they were seated at table:', '']
['"This is a most unfortunate affair, and will probably be much talked of.', '']
['But we must stem the tide of malice, and pour into the wounded bosoms of', '']
['each other the balm of sisterly consolation."', '']
['Then, perceiving in Elizabeth no inclination of replying, she added,', '']
['"Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful', '']
['lesson: that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable; that one', '']
['false step involves her in endless ruin; that her reputation is no less', '']
['brittle than it is beautiful; and that she cannot be too much guarded in', '']
['her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex."', '']
['Elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement, but was too much oppressed', '']
['to make any reply. Mary, however, continued to console herself with such', '']
['kind of moral extractions from the evil before them.', '']
['In the afternoon, the two elder Miss Bennets were able to be for', '']
['half-an-hour by themselves; and Elizabeth instantly availed herself of', '']
['the opportunity of making any inquiries, which Jane was equally eager to', '']
['satisfy. After joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel', '']
['of this event, which Elizabeth considered as all but certain, and Miss', '']
['Bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible, the former continued', '']
['the subject, by saying, "But tell me all and everything about it which', '']
['I have not already heard. Give me further particulars. What did Colonel', '']
['Forster say? Had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement', '']
['took place? They must have seen them together for ever."', '']
['"Colonel Forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality,', '']
["especially on Lydia's side, but nothing to give him any alarm. I am so", '']
['grieved for him! His behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost. He', '']
['_was_ coming to us, in order to assure us of his concern, before he had', '']
['any idea of their not being gone to Scotland: when that apprehension', '']
['first got abroad, it hastened his journey."', '']
['"And was Denny convinced that Wickham would not marry? Did he know of', '']
['their intending to go off? Had Colonel Forster seen Denny himself?"', '']
['"Yes; but, when questioned by _him_, Denny denied knowing anything of', '']
['their plans, and would not give his real opinion about it. He did not', '']
['repeat his persuasion of their not marrying--and from _that_, I am', '']
['inclined to hope, he might have been misunderstood before."', '']
['"And till Colonel Forster came himself, not one of you entertained a', '']
['doubt, I suppose, of their being really married?"', '']
['"How was it possible that such an idea should enter our brains? I felt', '']
["a little uneasy--a little fearful of my sister's happiness with him", '']
['in marriage, because I knew that his conduct had not been always quite', '']
['right. My father and mother knew nothing of that; they only felt how', '']
['imprudent a match it must be. Kitty then owned, with a very natural', '']
["triumph on knowing more than the rest of us, that in Lydia's last letter", '']
['she had prepared her for such a step. She had known, it seems, of their', '']
['being in love with each other, many weeks."', '']
['"But not before they went to Brighton?"', '']
['"No, I believe not."', '']
['"And did Colonel Forster appear to think well of Wickham himself? Does', '']
['he know his real character?"', '']
['"I must confess that he did not speak so well of Wickham as he formerly', '']
['did. He believed him to be imprudent and extravagant. And since this sad', '']
['affair has taken place, it is said that he left Meryton greatly in debt;', '']
['but I hope this may be false."', '']
['"Oh, Jane, had we been less secret, had we told what we knew of him,', '']
['this could not have happened!"', '']
['"Perhaps it would have been better," replied her sister. "But to expose', '']
['the former faults of any person without knowing what their present', '']
['feelings were, seemed unjustifiable. We acted with the best intentions."', '']
['"Could Colonel Forster repeat the particulars of Lydia\'s note to his', '']
['wife?"', '']
['"He brought it with him for us to see."', '']
['Jane then took it from her pocket-book, and gave it to Elizabeth. These', '']
['were the contents:', '']
['"MY DEAR HARRIET,', '']
['"You will laugh when you know where I am gone, and I cannot help', '']
['laughing myself at your surprise to-morrow morning, as soon as I am', '']
['missed. I am going to Gretna Green, and if you cannot guess with who,', '']
['I shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world I', '']
['love, and he is an angel. I should never be happy without him, so think', '']
['it no harm to be off. You need not send them word at Longbourn of my', '']
['going, if you do not like it, for it will make the surprise the greater,', '']
["when I write to them and sign my name 'Lydia Wickham.' What a good joke", '']
['it will be! I can hardly write for laughing. Pray make my excuses to', '']
['Pratt for not keeping my engagement, and dancing with him to-night.', '']
['Tell him I hope he will excuse me when he knows all; and tell him I will', '']
['dance with him at the next ball we meet, with great pleasure. I shall', '']
['send for my clothes when I get to Longbourn; but I wish you would tell', '']
['Sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are', '']
['packed up. Good-bye. Give my love to Colonel Forster. I hope you will', '']
['drink to our good journey.', '']
['"Your affectionate friend,', '']
['"LYDIA BENNET."', '']
['"Oh! thoughtless, thoughtless Lydia!" cried Elizabeth when she had', '']
['finished it. "What a letter is this, to be written at such a moment!', '']
['But at least it shows that _she_ was serious on the subject of their', '']
['journey. Whatever he might afterwards persuade her to, it was not on her', '']
['side a _scheme_ of infamy. My poor father! how he must have felt it!"', '']
['"I never saw anyone so shocked. He could not speak a word for full ten', '']
['minutes. My mother was taken ill immediately, and the whole house in', '']
['such confusion!"', '']
['"Oh! Jane," cried Elizabeth, "was there a servant belonging to it who', '']
['did not know the whole story before the end of the day?"', '']
['"I do not know. I hope there was. But to be guarded at such a time is', '']
['very difficult. My mother was in hysterics, and though I endeavoured to', '']
['give her every assistance in my power, I am afraid I did not do so', '']
['much as I might have done! But the horror of what might possibly happen', '']
['almost took from me my faculties."', '']
['"Your attendance upon her has been too much for you. You do not look', '']
['well. Oh that I had been with you! you have had every care and anxiety', '']
['upon yourself alone."', '']
['"Mary and Kitty have been very kind, and would have shared in every', '']
['fatigue, I am sure; but I did not think it right for either of them.', '']
['Kitty is slight and delicate; and Mary studies so much, that her hours', '']
['of repose should not be broken in on. My aunt Phillips came to Longbourn', '']
['on Tuesday, after my father went away; and was so good as to stay till', '']
['Thursday with me. She was of great use and comfort to us all. And', '']
['Lady Lucas has been very kind; she walked here on Wednesday morning to', '']
["condole with us, and offered her services, or any of her daughters', if", '']
['they should be of use to us."', '']
['"She had better have stayed at home," cried Elizabeth; "perhaps she', '']
['_meant_ well, but, under such a misfortune as this, one cannot see', '']
["too little of one's neighbours. Assistance is impossible; condolence", '']
['insufferable. Let them triumph over us at a distance, and be satisfied."', '']
['She then proceeded to inquire into the measures which her father had', '']
['intended to pursue, while in town, for the recovery of his daughter.', '']
['"He meant I believe," replied Jane, "to go to Epsom, the place where', '']
['they last changed horses, see the postilions and try if anything could', '']
['be made out from them. His principal object must be to discover the', '']
['number of the hackney coach which took them from Clapham. It had come', '']
['with a fare from London; and as he thought that the circumstance of a', '']
["gentleman and lady's removing from one carriage into another might", '']
['be remarked he meant to make inquiries at Clapham. If he could anyhow', '']
['discover at what house the coachman had before set down his fare, he', '']
['determined to make inquiries there, and hoped it might not be impossible', '']
['to find out the stand and number of the coach. I do not know of any', '']
['other designs that he had formed; but he was in such a hurry to be gone,', '']
['and his spirits so greatly discomposed, that I had difficulty in finding', '']
['out even so much as this."', '']
['Chapter 48', '']
['The whole party were in hopes of a letter from Mr. Bennet the next', '']
['morning, but the post came in without bringing a single line from him.', '']
['His family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and', '']
['dilatory correspondent; but at such a time they had hoped for exertion.', '']
['They were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to', '']
['send; but even of _that_ they would have been glad to be certain. Mr.', '']
['Gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off.', '']
['When he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving constant', '']
['information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting,', '']
['to prevail on Mr. Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could,', '']
['to the great consolation of his sister, who considered it as the only', '']
["security for her husband's not being killed in a duel.", '']
['Mrs. Gardiner and the children were to remain in Hertfordshire a few', '']
['days longer, as the former thought her presence might be serviceable', '']
['to her nieces. She shared in their attendance on Mrs. Bennet, and was a', '']
['great comfort to them in their hours of freedom. Their other aunt also', '']
['visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of', '']
['cheering and heartening them up--though, as she never came without', '']
["reporting some fresh instance of Wickham's extravagance or irregularity,", '']
['she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found', '']
['them.', '']
['All Meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who, but three months', '']
['before, had been almost an angel of light. He was declared to be in debt', '']
['to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with', '']
["the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman's family.", '']
['Everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world;', '']
['and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the', '']
['appearance of his goodness. Elizabeth, though she did not credit above', '']
['half of what was said, believed enough to make her former assurance of', '']
["her sister's ruin more certain; and even Jane, who believed still less", '']
['of it, became almost hopeless, more especially as the time was now come', '']
['when, if they had gone to Scotland, which she had never before entirely', '']
['despaired of, they must in all probability have gained some news of', '']
['them.', '']
['Mr. Gardiner left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his wife received a', '']
['letter from him; it told them that, on his arrival, he had immediately', '']
['found out his brother, and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street;', '']
['that Mr. Bennet had been to Epsom and Clapham, before his arrival,', '']
['but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now', '']
['determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as Mr. Bennet', '']
['thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first', '']
['coming to London, before they procured lodgings. Mr. Gardiner himself', '']
['did not expect any success from this measure, but as his brother was', '']
['eager in it, he meant to assist him in pursuing it. He added that Mr.', '']
['Bennet seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave London and promised', '']
['to write again very soon. There was also a postscript to this effect:', '']
['"I have written to Colonel Forster to desire him to find out, if', '']
["possible, from some of the young man's intimates in the regiment,", '']
['whether Wickham has any relations or connections who would be likely to', '']
['know in what part of town he has now concealed himself. If there were', '']
['anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a', '']
['clue as that, it might be of essential consequence. At present we have', '']
['nothing to guide us. Colonel Forster will, I dare say, do everything in', '']
['his power to satisfy us on this head. But, on second thoughts, perhaps,', '']
['Lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living, better than any', '']
['other person."', '']
['Elizabeth was at no loss to understand from whence this deference to her', '']
['authority proceeded; but it was not in her power to give any information', '']
['of so satisfactory a nature as the compliment deserved. She had never', '']
['heard of his having had any relations, except a father and mother, both', '']
['of whom had been dead many years. It was possible, however, that some of', '']
['his companions in the ----shire might be able to give more information;', '']
['and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it, the application', '']
['was a something to look forward to.', '']
['Every day at Longbourn was now a day of anxiety; but the most anxious', '']
['part of each was when the post was expected. The arrival of letters', '']
["was the grand object of every morning's impatience. Through letters,", '']
['whatever of good or bad was to be told would be communicated, and every', '']
['succeeding day was expected to bring some news of importance.', '']
['But before they heard again from Mr. Gardiner, a letter arrived for', '']
['their father, from a different quarter, from Mr. Collins; which, as Jane', '']
['had received directions to open all that came for him in his absence,', '']
['she accordingly read; and Elizabeth, who knew what curiosities his', '']
['letters always were, looked over her, and read it likewise. It was as', '']
['follows:', '']
['"MY DEAR SIR,', '']
['"I feel myself called upon, by our relationship, and my situation', '']
['in life, to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now', '']
['suffering under, of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from', '']
['Hertfordshire. Be assured, my dear sir, that Mrs. Collins and myself', '']
['sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family, in', '']
['your present distress, which must be of the bitterest kind, because', '']
['proceeding from a cause which no time can remove. No arguments shall be', '']
['wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortune--or that', '']
['may comfort you, under a circumstance that must be of all others the', '']
["most afflicting to a parent's mind. The death of your daughter would", '']
['have been a blessing in comparison of this. And it is the more to', '']
['be lamented, because there is reason to suppose as my dear Charlotte', '']
['informs me, that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter has', '']
['proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence; though, at the same time,', '']
['for the consolation of yourself and Mrs. Bennet, I am inclined to think', '']
['that her own disposition must be naturally bad, or she could not be', '']
['guilty of such an enormity, at so early an age. Howsoever that may be,', '']
['you are grievously to be pitied; in which opinion I am not only joined', '']
['by Mrs. Collins, but likewise by Lady Catherine and her daughter, to', '']
['whom I have related the affair. They agree with me in apprehending that', '']
['this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of', '']
['all the others; for who, as Lady Catherine herself condescendingly says,', '']
['will connect themselves with such a family? And this consideration leads', '']
['me moreover to reflect, with augmented satisfaction, on a certain event', '']
['of last November; for had it been otherwise, I must have been involved', '']
['in all your sorrow and disgrace. Let me then advise you, dear sir, to', '']
['console yourself as much as possible, to throw off your unworthy child', '']
['from your affection for ever, and leave her to reap the fruits of her', '']
['own heinous offense.', '']
['"I am, dear sir, etc., etc."', '']
['Mr. Gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from', '']
['Colonel Forster; and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send.', '']
['It was not known that Wickham had a single relationship with whom he', '']
['kept up any connection, and it was certain that he had no near one', '']
['living. His former acquaintances had been numerous; but since he', '']
['had been in the militia, it did not appear that he was on terms of', '']
['particular friendship with any of them. There was no one, therefore,', '']
['who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him. And in the', '']
['wretched state of his own finances, there was a very powerful motive for', '']
["secrecy, in addition to his fear of discovery by Lydia's relations, for", '']
['it had just transpired that he had left gaming debts behind him to a', '']
['very considerable amount. Colonel Forster believed that more than a', '']
['thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expenses at Brighton.', '']
['He owed a good deal in town, but his debts of honour were still more', '']
['formidable. Mr. Gardiner did not attempt to conceal these particulars', '']
['from the Longbourn family. Jane heard them with horror. "A gamester!"', '']
['she cried. "This is wholly unexpected. I had not an idea of it."', '']
['Mr. Gardiner added in his letter, that they might expect to see their', '']
['father at home on the following day, which was Saturday. Rendered', '']
['spiritless by the ill-success of all their endeavours, he had yielded', '']
["to his brother-in-law's entreaty that he would return to his family, and", '']
['leave it to him to do whatever occasion might suggest to be advisable', '']
['for continuing their pursuit. When Mrs. Bennet was told of this, she did', '']
['not express so much satisfaction as her children expected, considering', '']
['what her anxiety for his life had been before.', '']
['"What, is he coming home, and without poor Lydia?" she cried. "Sure he', '']
['will not leave London before he has found them. Who is to fight Wickham,', '']
['and make him marry her, if he comes away?"', '']
['As Mrs. Gardiner began to wish to be at home, it was settled that she', '']
['and the children should go to London, at the same time that Mr. Bennet', '']
['came from it. The coach, therefore, took them the first stage of their', '']
['journey, and brought its master back to Longbourn.', '']
['Mrs. Gardiner went away in all the perplexity about Elizabeth and her', '']
['Derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world. His', '']
['name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece; and', '']
['the kind of half-expectation which Mrs. Gardiner had formed, of their', '']
['being followed by a letter from him, had ended in nothing. Elizabeth had', '']
['received none since her return that could come from Pemberley.', '']
['The present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for', '']
['the lowness of her spirits unnecessary; nothing, therefore, could be', '']
['fairly conjectured from _that_, though Elizabeth, who was by this time', '']
['tolerably well acquainted with her own feelings, was perfectly aware', '']
['that, had she known nothing of Darcy, she could have borne the dread of', '']
["Lydia's infamy somewhat better. It would have spared her, she thought,", '']
['one sleepless night out of two.', '']
['When Mr. Bennet arrived, he had all the appearance of his usual', '']
['philosophic composure. He said as little as he had ever been in the', '']
['habit of saying; made no mention of the business that had taken him', '']
['away, and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of', '']
['it.', '']
['It was not till the afternoon, when he had joined them at tea, that', '']
['Elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject; and then, on her briefly', '']
['expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured, he replied, "Say', '']
['nothing of that. Who should suffer but myself? It has been my own doing,', '']
['and I ought to feel it."', '']
['"You must not be too severe upon yourself," replied Elizabeth.', '']
['"You may well warn me against such an evil. Human nature is so prone', '']
['to fall into it! No, Lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much I have', '']
['been to blame. I am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression.', '']
['It will pass away soon enough."', '']
['"Do you suppose them to be in London?"', '']
['"Yes; where else can they be so well concealed?"', '']
['"And Lydia used to want to go to London," added Kitty.', '']
['"She is happy then," said her father drily; "and her residence there', '']
['will probably be of some duration."', '']
['Then after a short silence he continued:', '']
['"Lizzy, I bear you no ill-will for being justified in your advice to me', '']
['last May, which, considering the event, shows some greatness of mind."', '']
["They were interrupted by Miss Bennet, who came to fetch her mother's", '']
['tea.', '']
['"This is a parade," he cried, "which does one good; it gives such an', '']
['elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same; I will sit in my', '']
['library, in my nightcap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as', '']
['I can; or, perhaps, I may defer it till Kitty runs away."', '']
['"I am not going to run away, papa," said Kitty fretfully. "If I should', '']
['ever go to Brighton, I would behave better than Lydia."', '']
['"_You_ go to Brighton. I would not trust you so near it as Eastbourne', '']
['for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at last learnt to be cautious, and', '']
['you will feel the effects of it. No officer is ever to enter into', '']
['my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be', '']
['absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters.', '']
['And you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have', '']
['spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner."', '']
['Kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.', '']
['"Well, well," said he, "do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good', '']
['girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of', '']
['them."', '']
['Chapter 49', '']
["Two days after Mr. Bennet's return, as Jane and Elizabeth were walking", '']
['together in the shrubbery behind the house, they saw the housekeeper', '']
['coming towards them, and, concluding that she came to call them to their', '']
['mother, went forward to meet her; but, instead of the expected summons,', '']
['when they approached her, she said to Miss Bennet, "I beg your pardon,', '']
['madam, for interrupting you, but I was in hopes you might have got some', '']
['good news from town, so I took the liberty of coming to ask."', '']
['"What do you mean, Hill? We have heard nothing from town."', '']
['"Dear madam," cried Mrs. Hill, in great astonishment, "don\'t you know', '']
['there is an express come for master from Mr. Gardiner? He has been here', '']
['this half-hour, and master has had a letter."', '']
['Away ran the girls, too eager to get in to have time for speech. They', '']
['ran through the vestibule into the breakfast-room; from thence to the', '']
['library; their father was in neither; and they were on the point of', '']
['seeking him up stairs with their mother, when they were met by the', '']
['butler, who said:', '']
['"If you are looking for my master, ma\'am, he is walking towards the', '']
['little copse."', '']
['Upon this information, they instantly passed through the hall once', '']
['more, and ran across the lawn after their father, who was deliberately', '']
['pursuing his way towards a small wood on one side of the paddock.', '']
['Jane, who was not so light nor so much in the habit of running as', '']
['Elizabeth, soon lagged behind, while her sister, panting for breath,', '']
['came up with him, and eagerly cried out:', '']
['"Oh, papa, what news--what news? Have you heard from my uncle?"', '']
['"Yes I have had a letter from him by express."', '']
['"Well, and what news does it bring--good or bad?"', '']
['"What is there of good to be expected?" said he, taking the letter from', '']
['his pocket. "But perhaps you would like to read it."', '']
['Elizabeth impatiently caught it from his hand. Jane now came up.', '']
['"Read it aloud," said their father, "for I hardly know myself what it is', '']
['about."', '']
['"Gracechurch Street, Monday, August 2.', '']
['"MY DEAR BROTHER,', '']
['"At last I am able to send you some tidings of my niece, and such as,', '']
['upon the whole, I hope it will give you satisfaction. Soon after you', '']
['left me on Saturday, I was fortunate enough to find out in what part of', '']
['London they were. The particulars I reserve till we meet; it is enough', '']
['to know they are discovered. I have seen them both--"', '']
['"Then it is as I always hoped," cried Jane; "they are married!"', '']
['Elizabeth read on:', '']
['"I have seen them both. They are not married, nor can I find there', '']
['was any intention of being so; but if you are willing to perform the', '']
['engagements which I have ventured to make on your side, I hope it will', '']
['not be long before they are. All that is required of you is, to assure', '']
['to your daughter, by settlement, her equal share of the five thousand', '']
['pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and', '']
['my sister; and, moreover, to enter into an engagement of allowing her,', '']
['during your life, one hundred pounds per annum. These are conditions', '']
['which, considering everything, I had no hesitation in complying with,', '']
['as far as I thought myself privileged, for you. I shall send this by', '']
['express, that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer. You', '']
["will easily comprehend, from these particulars, that Mr. Wickham's", '']
['circumstances are not so hopeless as they are generally believed to be.', '']
['The world has been deceived in that respect; and I am happy to say there', '']
['will be some little money, even when all his debts are discharged, to', '']
['settle on my niece, in addition to her own fortune. If, as I conclude', '']
['will be the case, you send me full powers to act in your name throughout', '']
['the whole of this business, I will immediately give directions to', '']
['Haggerston for preparing a proper settlement. There will not be the', '']
['smallest occasion for your coming to town again; therefore stay quiet at', '']
['Longbourn, and depend on my diligence and care. Send back your answer as', '']
['fast as you can, and be careful to write explicitly. We have judged it', '']
['best that my niece should be married from this house, of which I hope', '']
['you will approve. She comes to us to-day. I shall write again as soon as', '']
['anything more is determined on. Yours, etc.,', '']
['"EDW. GARDINER."', '']
['"Is it possible?" cried Elizabeth, when she had finished. "Can it be', '']
['possible that he will marry her?"', '']
['"Wickham is not so undeserving, then, as we thought him," said her', '']
['sister. "My dear father, I congratulate you."', '']
['"And have you answered the letter?" cried Elizabeth.', '']
['"No; but it must be done soon."', '']
['Most earnestly did she then entreat him to lose no more time before he', '']
['wrote.', '']
['"Oh! my dear father," she cried, "come back and write immediately.', '']
['Consider how important every moment is in such a case."', '']
['"Let me write for you," said Jane, "if you dislike the trouble', '']
['yourself."', '']
['"I dislike it very much," he replied; "but it must be done."', '']
['And so saying, he turned back with them, and walked towards the house.', '']
['"And may I ask--" said Elizabeth; "but the terms, I suppose, must be', '']
['complied with."', '']
['"Complied with! I am only ashamed of his asking so little."', '']
['"And they _must_ marry! Yet he is _such_ a man!"', '']
['"Yes, yes, they must marry. There is nothing else to be done. But there', '']
['are two things that I want very much to know; one is, how much money', '']
['your uncle has laid down to bring it about; and the other, how am I ever', '']
['to pay him."', '']
['"Money! My uncle!" cried Jane, "what do you mean, sir?"', '']
['"I mean, that no man in his senses would marry Lydia on so slight a', '']
['temptation as one hundred a year during my life, and fifty after I am', '']
['gone."', '']
['"That is very true," said Elizabeth; "though it had not occurred to me', '']
['before. His debts to be discharged, and something still to remain! Oh!', '']
["it must be my uncle's doings! Generous, good man, I am afraid he has", '']
['distressed himself. A small sum could not do all this."', '']
['"No," said her father; "Wickham\'s a fool if he takes her with a farthing', '']
['less than ten thousand pounds. I should be sorry to think so ill of him,', '']
['in the very beginning of our relationship."', '']
['"Ten thousand pounds! Heaven forbid! How is half such a sum to be', '']
['repaid?"', '']
['Mr. Bennet made no answer, and each of them, deep in thought, continued', '']
['silent till they reached the house. Their father then went on to the', '']
['library to write, and the girls walked into the breakfast-room.', '']
['"And they are really to be married!" cried Elizabeth, as soon as they', '']
['were by themselves. "How strange this is! And for _this_ we are to be', '']
['thankful. That they should marry, small as is their chance of happiness,', '']
['and wretched as is his character, we are forced to rejoice. Oh, Lydia!"', '']
['"I comfort myself with thinking," replied Jane, "that he certainly would', '']
['not marry Lydia if he had not a real regard for her. Though our kind', '']
['uncle has done something towards clearing him, I cannot believe that ten', '']
['thousand pounds, or anything like it, has been advanced. He has children', '']
['of his own, and may have more. How could he spare half ten thousand', '']
['pounds?"', '']
['"If he were ever able to learn what Wickham\'s debts have been," said', '']
['Elizabeth, "and how much is settled on his side on our sister, we shall', '']
['exactly know what Mr. Gardiner has done for them, because Wickham has', '']
['not sixpence of his own. The kindness of my uncle and aunt can never', '']
['be requited. Their taking her home, and affording her their personal', '']
['protection and countenance, is such a sacrifice to her advantage as', '']
['years of gratitude cannot enough acknowledge. By this time she is', '']
['actually with them! If such goodness does not make her miserable now,', '']
['she will never deserve to be happy! What a meeting for her, when she', '']
['first sees my aunt!"', '']
['"We must endeavour to forget all that has passed on either side," said', '']
['Jane: "I hope and trust they will yet be happy. His consenting to', '']
['marry her is a proof, I will believe, that he is come to a right way of', '']
['thinking. Their mutual affection will steady them; and I flatter myself', '']
['they will settle so quietly, and live in so rational a manner, as may in', '']
['time make their past imprudence forgotten."', '']
['"Their conduct has been such," replied Elizabeth, "as neither you, nor', '']
['I, nor anybody can ever forget. It is useless to talk of it."', '']
['It now occurred to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood', '']
['perfectly ignorant of what had happened. They went to the library,', '']
['therefore, and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make', '']
['it known to her. He was writing and, without raising his head, coolly', '']
['replied:', '']
['"Just as you please."', '']
['"May we take my uncle\'s letter to read to her?"', '']
['"Take whatever you like, and get away."', '']
['Elizabeth took the letter from his writing-table, and they went up stairs', '']
['together. Mary and Kitty were both with Mrs. Bennet: one communication', '']
['would, therefore, do for all. After a slight preparation for good news,', '']
['the letter was read aloud. Mrs. Bennet could hardly contain herself. As', '']
["soon as Jane had read Mr. Gardiner's hope of Lydia's being soon", '']
['married, her joy burst forth, and every following sentence added to its', '']
['exuberance. She was now in an irritation as violent from delight, as she', '']
['had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation. To know that her daughter', '']
['would be married was enough. She was disturbed by no fear for her', '']
['felicity, nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct.', '']
['"My dear, dear Lydia!" she cried. "This is delightful indeed! She will', '']
['be married! I shall see her again! She will be married at sixteen!', '']
['My good, kind brother! I knew how it would be. I knew he would manage', '']
['everything! How I long to see her! and to see dear Wickham too! But the', '']
['clothes, the wedding clothes! I will write to my sister Gardiner about', '']
['them directly. Lizzy, my dear, run down to your father, and ask him', '']
['how much he will give her. Stay, stay, I will go myself. Ring the bell,', '']
['Kitty, for Hill. I will put on my things in a moment. My dear, dear', '']
['Lydia! How merry we shall be together when we meet!"', '']
['Her eldest daughter endeavoured to give some relief to the violence of', '']
['these transports, by leading her thoughts to the obligations which Mr.', '']
["Gardiner's behaviour laid them all under.", '']
['"For we must attribute this happy conclusion," she added, "in a great', '']
['measure to his kindness. We are persuaded that he has pledged himself to', '']
['assist Mr. Wickham with money."', '']
['"Well," cried her mother, "it is all very right; who should do it but', '']
['her own uncle? If he had not had a family of his own, I and my children', '']
['must have had all his money, you know; and it is the first time we have', '']
['ever had anything from him, except a few presents. Well! I am so happy!', '']
['In a short time I shall have a daughter married. Mrs. Wickham! How well', '']
['it sounds! And she was only sixteen last June. My dear Jane, I am in', '']
["such a flutter, that I am sure I can't write; so I will dictate, and", '']
['you write for me. We will settle with your father about the money', '']
['afterwards; but the things should be ordered immediately."', '']
['She was then proceeding to all the particulars of calico, muslin, and', '']
['cambric, and would shortly have dictated some very plentiful orders, had', '']
['not Jane, though with some difficulty, persuaded her to wait till her', '']
["father was at leisure to be consulted. One day's delay, she observed,", '']
['would be of small importance; and her mother was too happy to be quite', '']
['so obstinate as usual. Other schemes, too, came into her head.', '']
['"I will go to Meryton," said she, "as soon as I am dressed, and tell the', '']
['good, good news to my sister Philips. And as I come back, I can call', '']
['on Lady Lucas and Mrs. Long. Kitty, run down and order the carriage.', '']
['An airing would do me a great deal of good, I am sure. Girls, can I do', '']
['anything for you in Meryton? Oh! Here comes Hill! My dear Hill, have you', '']
['heard the good news? Miss Lydia is going to be married; and you shall', '']
['all have a bowl of punch to make merry at her wedding."', '']
['Mrs. Hill began instantly to express her joy. Elizabeth received her', '']
['congratulations amongst the rest, and then, sick of this folly, took', '']
['refuge in her own room, that she might think with freedom.', '']
["Poor Lydia's situation must, at best, be bad enough; but that it was", '']
['no worse, she had need to be thankful. She felt it so; and though, in', '']
['looking forward, neither rational happiness nor worldly prosperity could', '']
['be justly expected for her sister, in looking back to what they had', '']
['feared, only two hours ago, she felt all the advantages of what they had', '']
['gained.', '']
['Chapter 50', '']
['Mr. Bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that,', '']
['instead of spending his whole income, he had laid by an annual sum for', '']
['the better provision of his children, and of his wife, if she survived', '']
['him. He now wished it more than ever. Had he done his duty in that', '']
['respect, Lydia need not have been indebted to her uncle for whatever', '']
['of honour or credit could now be purchased for her. The satisfaction of', '']
['prevailing on one of the most worthless young men in Great Britain to be', '']
['her husband might then have rested in its proper place.', '']
['He was seriously concerned that a cause of so little advantage to anyone', '']
['should be forwarded at the sole expense of his brother-in-law, and he', '']
['was determined, if possible, to find out the extent of his assistance,', '']
['and to discharge the obligation as soon as he could.', '']
['When first Mr. Bennet had married, economy was held to be perfectly', '']
['useless, for, of course, they were to have a son. The son was to join', '']
['in cutting off the entail, as soon as he should be of age, and the widow', '']
['and younger children would by that means be provided for. Five daughters', '']
['successively entered the world, but yet the son was to come; and Mrs.', '']
["Bennet, for many years after Lydia's birth, had been certain that he", '']
['would. This event had at last been despaired of, but it was then', '']
['too late to be saving. Mrs. Bennet had no turn for economy, and her', '']
["husband's love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their", '']
['income.', '']
['Five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on Mrs. Bennet and', '']
['the children. But in what proportions it should be divided amongst the', '']
['latter depended on the will of the parents. This was one point, with', '']
['regard to Lydia, at least, which was now to be settled, and Mr. Bennet', '']
['could have no hesitation in acceding to the proposal before him. In', '']
['terms of grateful acknowledgment for the kindness of his brother,', '']
['though expressed most concisely, he then delivered on paper his perfect', '']
['approbation of all that was done, and his willingness to fulfil the', '']
['engagements that had been made for him. He had never before supposed', '']
['that, could Wickham be prevailed on to marry his daughter, it would', '']
['be done with so little inconvenience to himself as by the present', '']
['arrangement. He would scarcely be ten pounds a year the loser by the', '']
['hundred that was to be paid them; for, what with her board and pocket', '']
['allowance, and the continual presents in money which passed to her', '']
["through her mother's hands, Lydia's expenses had been very little within", '']
['that sum.', '']
['That it would be done with such trifling exertion on his side, too, was', '']
['another very welcome surprise; for his wish at present was to have as', '']
['little trouble in the business as possible. When the first transports', '']
['of rage which had produced his activity in seeking her were over, he', '']
['naturally returned to all his former indolence. His letter was soon', '']
['dispatched; for, though dilatory in undertaking business, he was quick', '']
['in its execution. He begged to know further particulars of what he', '']
['was indebted to his brother, but was too angry with Lydia to send any', '']
['message to her.', '']
['The good news spread quickly through the house, and with proportionate', '']
['speed through the neighbourhood. It was borne in the latter with decent', '']
['philosophy. To be sure, it would have been more for the advantage', '']
['of conversation had Miss Lydia Bennet come upon the town; or, as the', '']
['happiest alternative, been secluded from the world, in some distant', '']
['farmhouse. But there was much to be talked of in marrying her; and the', '']
['good-natured wishes for her well-doing which had proceeded before from', '']
['all the spiteful old ladies in Meryton lost but a little of their spirit', '']
['in this change of circumstances, because with such an husband her misery', '']
['was considered certain.', '']
['It was a fortnight since Mrs. Bennet had been downstairs; but on this', '']
['happy day she again took her seat at the head of her table, and in', '']
['spirits oppressively high. No sentiment of shame gave a damp to her', '']
['triumph. The marriage of a daughter, which had been the first object', '']
['of her wishes since Jane was sixteen, was now on the point of', '']
['accomplishment, and her thoughts and her words ran wholly on those', '']
['attendants of elegant nuptials, fine muslins, new carriages, and', '']
['servants. She was busily searching through the neighbourhood for a', '']
['proper situation for her daughter, and, without knowing or considering', '']
['what their income might be, rejected many as deficient in size and', '']
['importance.', '']
['"Haye Park might do," said she, "if the Gouldings could quit it--or the', '']
['great house at Stoke, if the drawing-room were larger; but Ashworth is', '']
['too far off! I could not bear to have her ten miles from me; and as for', '']
['Pulvis Lodge, the attics are dreadful."', '']
['Her husband allowed her to talk on without interruption while the', '']
['servants remained. But when they had withdrawn, he said to her: "Mrs.', '']
['Bennet, before you take any or all of these houses for your son and', '']
['daughter, let us come to a right understanding. Into _one_ house in this', '']
['neighbourhood they shall never have admittance. I will not encourage the', '']
['impudence of either, by receiving them at Longbourn."', '']
['A long dispute followed this declaration; but Mr. Bennet was firm. It', '']
['soon led to another; and Mrs. Bennet found, with amazement and horror,', '']
['that her husband would not advance a guinea to buy clothes for his', '']
['daughter. He protested that she should receive from him no mark of', '']
['affection whatever on the occasion. Mrs. Bennet could hardly comprehend', '']
['it. That his anger could be carried to such a point of inconceivable', '']
['resentment as to refuse his daughter a privilege without which her', '']
['marriage would scarcely seem valid, exceeded all she could believe', '']
['possible. She was more alive to the disgrace which her want of new', '']
["clothes must reflect on her daughter's nuptials, than to any sense of", '']
['shame at her eloping and living with Wickham a fortnight before they', '']
['took place.', '']
['Elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had, from the distress of', '']
['the moment, been led to make Mr. Darcy acquainted with their fears for', '']
['her sister; for since her marriage would so shortly give the', '']
['proper termination to the elopement, they might hope to conceal its', '']
['unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the', '']
['spot.', '']
['She had no fear of its spreading farther through his means. There were', '']
['few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended;', '']
["but, at the same time, there was no one whose knowledge of a sister's", '']
['frailty would have mortified her so much--not, however, from any fear', '']
['of disadvantage from it individually to herself, for, at any rate,', '']
["there seemed a gulf impassable between them. Had Lydia's marriage been", '']
['concluded on the most honourable terms, it was not to be supposed that', '']
['Mr. Darcy would connect himself with a family where, to every other', '']
['objection, would now be added an alliance and relationship of the', '']
['nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned.', '']
['From such a connection she could not wonder that he would shrink. The', '']
['wish of procuring her regard, which she had assured herself of his', '']
['feeling in Derbyshire, could not in rational expectation survive such a', '']
['blow as this. She was humbled, she was grieved; she repented, though she', '']
['hardly knew of what. She became jealous of his esteem, when she could no', '']
['longer hope to be benefited by it. She wanted to hear of him, when there', '']
['seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence. She was convinced that', '']
['she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they', '']
['should meet.', '']
['What a triumph for him, as she often thought, could he know that the', '']
['proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago, would now', '']
['have been most gladly and gratefully received! He was as generous, she', '']
['doubted not, as the most generous of his sex; but while he was mortal,', '']
['there must be a triumph.', '']
['She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in', '']
['disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and', '']
['temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It', '']
['was an union that must have been to the advantage of both; by her ease', '']
['and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved;', '']
['and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she', '']
['must have received benefit of greater importance.', '']
['But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what', '']
['connubial felicity really was. An union of a different tendency, and', '']
['precluding the possibility of the other, was soon to be formed in their', '']
['family.', '']
['How Wickham and Lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence,', '']
['she could not imagine. But how little of permanent happiness could', '']
['belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions', '']
['were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture.', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
["Mr. Gardiner soon wrote again to his brother. To Mr. Bennet's", '']
['acknowledgments he briefly replied, with assurance of his eagerness to', '']
['promote the welfare of any of his family; and concluded with entreaties', '']
['that the subject might never be mentioned to him again. The principal', '']
['purport of his letter was to inform them that Mr. Wickham had resolved', '']
['on quitting the militia.', '']
['"It was greatly my wish that he should do so," he added, "as soon as', '']
['his marriage was fixed on. And I think you will agree with me, in', '']
['considering the removal from that corps as highly advisable, both on', '']
["his account and my niece's. It is Mr. Wickham's intention to go into", '']
['the regulars; and among his former friends, there are still some who', '']
['are able and willing to assist him in the army. He has the promise of an', '']
["ensigncy in General ----'s regiment, now quartered in the North. It", '']
['is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom. He', '']
['promises fairly; and I hope among different people, where they may each', '']
['have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent. I have', '']
['written to Colonel Forster, to inform him of our present arrangements,', '']
['and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of Mr. Wickham', '']
['in and near Brighton, with assurances of speedy payment, for which I', '']
['have pledged myself. And will you give yourself the trouble of carrying', '']
['similar assurances to his creditors in Meryton, of whom I shall subjoin', '']
['a list according to his information? He has given in all his debts; I', '']
['hope at least he has not deceived us. Haggerston has our directions,', '']
['and all will be completed in a week. They will then join his regiment,', '']
['unless they are first invited to Longbourn; and I understand from Mrs.', '']
['Gardiner, that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she', '']
['leaves the South. She is well, and begs to be dutifully remembered to', '']
['you and her mother.--Yours, etc.,', '']
['"E. GARDINER."', '']
["Mr. Bennet and his daughters saw all the advantages of Wickham's removal", '']
['from the ----shire as clearly as Mr. Gardiner could do. But Mrs. Bennet', '']
["was not so well pleased with it. Lydia's being settled in the North,", '']
['just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in her company,', '']
['for she had by no means given up her plan of their residing in', '']
['Hertfordshire, was a severe disappointment; and, besides, it was such a', '']
['pity that Lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted', '']
['with everybody, and had so many favourites.', '']
['"She is so fond of Mrs. Forster," said she, "it will be quite shocking', '']
['to send her away! And there are several of the young men, too, that she', '']
["likes very much. The officers may not be so pleasant in General ----'s", '']
['regiment."', '']
["His daughter's request, for such it might be considered, of being", '']
['admitted into her family again before she set off for the North,', '']
['received at first an absolute negative. But Jane and Elizabeth,', '']
["who agreed in wishing, for the sake of their sister's feelings and", '']
['consequence, that she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents,', '']
['urged him so earnestly yet so rationally and so mildly, to receive her', '']
['and her husband at Longbourn, as soon as they were married, that he was', '']
['prevailed on to think as they thought, and act as they wished. And their', '']
['mother had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show', '']
['her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished to the', '']
['North. When Mr. Bennet wrote again to his brother, therefore, he sent', '']
['his permission for them to come; and it was settled, that as soon as', '']
['the ceremony was over, they should proceed to Longbourn. Elizabeth was', '']
['surprised, however, that Wickham should consent to such a scheme, and', '']
['had she consulted only her own inclination, any meeting with him would', '']
['have been the last object of her wishes.', '']
['Chapter 51', '']
["Their sister's wedding day arrived; and Jane and Elizabeth felt for her", '']
['probably more than she felt for herself. The carriage was sent to', '']
['meet them at ----, and they were to return in it by dinner-time. Their', '']
['arrival was dreaded by the elder Miss Bennets, and Jane more especially,', '']
['who gave Lydia the feelings which would have attended herself, had she', '']
['been the culprit, and was wretched in the thought of what her sister', '']
['must endure.', '']
['They came. The family were assembled in the breakfast room to receive', '']
['them. Smiles decked the face of Mrs. Bennet as the carriage drove up to', '']
['the door; her husband looked impenetrably grave; her daughters, alarmed,', '']
['anxious, uneasy.', '']
["Lydia's voice was heard in the vestibule; the door was thrown open, and", '']
['she ran into the room. Her mother stepped forwards, embraced her, and', '']
['welcomed her with rapture; gave her hand, with an affectionate smile,', '']
['to Wickham, who followed his lady; and wished them both joy with an', '']
['alacrity which shewed no doubt of their happiness.', '']
['Their reception from Mr. Bennet, to whom they then turned, was not quite', '']
['so cordial. His countenance rather gained in austerity; and he scarcely', '']
['opened his lips. The easy assurance of the young couple, indeed, was', '']
['enough to provoke him. Elizabeth was disgusted, and even Miss Bennet', '']
['was shocked. Lydia was Lydia still; untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy,', '']
['and fearless. She turned from sister to sister, demanding their', '']
['congratulations; and when at length they all sat down, looked eagerly', '']
['round the room, took notice of some little alteration in it, and', '']
['observed, with a laugh, that it was a great while since she had been', '']
['there.', '']
['Wickham was not at all more distressed than herself, but his manners', '']
['were always so pleasing, that had his character and his marriage been', '']
['exactly what they ought, his smiles and his easy address, while he', '']
['claimed their relationship, would have delighted them all. Elizabeth had', '']
['not before believed him quite equal to such assurance; but she sat down,', '']
['resolving within herself to draw no limits in future to the impudence', '']
['of an impudent man. She blushed, and Jane blushed; but the cheeks of the', '']
['two who caused their confusion suffered no variation of colour.', '']
['There was no want of discourse. The bride and her mother could neither', '']
['of them talk fast enough; and Wickham, who happened to sit near', '']
['Elizabeth, began inquiring after his acquaintance in that neighbourhood,', '']
['with a good humoured ease which she felt very unable to equal in her', '']
['replies. They seemed each of them to have the happiest memories in the', '']
['world. Nothing of the past was recollected with pain; and Lydia led', '']
['voluntarily to subjects which her sisters would not have alluded to for', '']
['the world.', '']
['"Only think of its being three months," she cried, "since I went away;', '']
['it seems but a fortnight I declare; and yet there have been things', '']
['enough happened in the time. Good gracious! when I went away, I am sure', '']
['I had no more idea of being married till I came back again! though I', '']
['thought it would be very good fun if I was."', '']
['Her father lifted up his eyes. Jane was distressed. Elizabeth looked', '']
['expressively at Lydia; but she, who never heard nor saw anything of', '']
['which she chose to be insensible, gaily continued, "Oh! mamma, do the', '']
['people hereabouts know I am married to-day? I was afraid they might not;', '']
['and we overtook William Goulding in his curricle, so I was determined he', '']
['should know it, and so I let down the side-glass next to him, and took', '']
['off my glove, and let my hand just rest upon the window frame, so that', '']
['he might see the ring, and then I bowed and smiled like anything."', '']
['Elizabeth could bear it no longer. She got up, and ran out of the room;', '']
['and returned no more, till she heard them passing through the hall to', '']
['the dining parlour. She then joined them soon enough to see Lydia, with', '']
["anxious parade, walk up to her mother's right hand, and hear her say", '']
['to her eldest sister, "Ah! Jane, I take your place now, and you must go', '']
['lower, because I am a married woman."', '']
['It was not to be supposed that time would give Lydia that embarrassment', '']
['from which she had been so wholly free at first. Her ease and good', '']
['spirits increased. She longed to see Mrs. Phillips, the Lucases, and', '']
['all their other neighbours, and to hear herself called "Mrs. Wickham"', '']
['by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner to show her', '']
['ring, and boast of being married, to Mrs. Hill and the two housemaids.', '']
['"Well, mamma," said she, when they were all returned to the breakfast', '']
['room, "and what do you think of my husband? Is not he a charming man? I', '']
['am sure my sisters must all envy me. I only hope they may have half', '']
['my good luck. They must all go to Brighton. That is the place to get', '']
['husbands. What a pity it is, mamma, we did not all go."', '']
['"Very true; and if I had my will, we should. But my dear Lydia, I don\'t', '']
['at all like your going such a way off. Must it be so?"', '']
['"Oh, lord! yes;--there is nothing in that. I shall like it of all', '']
['things. You and papa, and my sisters, must come down and see us. We', '']
['shall be at Newcastle all the winter, and I dare say there will be some', '']
['balls, and I will take care to get good partners for them all."', '']
['"I should like it beyond anything!" said her mother.', '']
['"And then when you go away, you may leave one or two of my sisters', '']
['behind you; and I dare say I shall get husbands for them before the', '']
['winter is over."', '']
['"I thank you for my share of the favour," said Elizabeth; "but I do not', '']
['particularly like your way of getting husbands."', '']
['Their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them. Mr. Wickham', '']
['had received his commission before he left London, and he was to join', '']
['his regiment at the end of a fortnight.', '']
['No one but Mrs. Bennet regretted that their stay would be so short; and', '']
['she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter, and', '']
['having very frequent parties at home. These parties were acceptable to', '']
['all; to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did', '']
['think, than such as did not.', '']
["Wickham's affection for Lydia was just what Elizabeth had expected", '']
["to find it; not equal to Lydia's for him. She had scarcely needed her", '']
['present observation to be satisfied, from the reason of things, that', '']
['their elopement had been brought on by the strength of her love, rather', '']
['than by his; and she would have wondered why, without violently caring', '']
['for her, he chose to elope with her at all, had she not felt certain', '']
['that his flight was rendered necessary by distress of circumstances; and', '']
['if that were the case, he was not the young man to resist an opportunity', '']
['of having a companion.', '']
['Lydia was exceedingly fond of him. He was her dear Wickham on every', '']
['occasion; no one was to be put in competition with him. He did every', '']
['thing best in the world; and she was sure he would kill more birds on', '']
['the first of September, than any body else in the country.', '']
['One morning, soon after their arrival, as she was sitting with her two', '']
['elder sisters, she said to Elizabeth:', '']
['"Lizzy, I never gave _you_ an account of my wedding, I believe. You', '']
['were not by, when I told mamma and the others all about it. Are not you', '']
['curious to hear how it was managed?"', '']
['"No really," replied Elizabeth; "I think there cannot be too little said', '']
['on the subject."', '']
['"La! You are so strange! But I must tell you how it went off. We were', '']
["married, you know, at St. Clement's, because Wickham's lodgings were in", '']
['that parish. And it was settled that we should all be there by eleven', '']
["o'clock. My uncle and aunt and I were to go together; and the others", '']
['were to meet us at the church. Well, Monday morning came, and I was in', '']
['such a fuss! I was so afraid, you know, that something would happen to', '']
['put it off, and then I should have gone quite distracted. And there was', '']
['my aunt, all the time I was dressing, preaching and talking away just as', '']
['if she was reading a sermon. However, I did not hear above one word in', '']
['ten, for I was thinking, you may suppose, of my dear Wickham. I longed', '']
['to know whether he would be married in his blue coat."', '']
['"Well, and so we breakfasted at ten as usual; I thought it would never', '']
['be over; for, by the bye, you are to understand, that my uncle and aunt', '']
["were horrid unpleasant all the time I was with them. If you'll believe", '']
['me, I did not once put my foot out of doors, though I was there a', '']
['fortnight. Not one party, or scheme, or anything. To be sure London was', '']
['rather thin, but, however, the Little Theatre was open. Well, and so', '']
['just as the carriage came to the door, my uncle was called away upon', '']
['business to that horrid man Mr. Stone. And then, you know, when once', '']
['they get together, there is no end of it. Well, I was so frightened I', '']
['did not know what to do, for my uncle was to give me away; and if we', '']
['were beyond the hour, we could not be married all day. But, luckily, he', '']
["came back again in ten minutes' time, and then we all set out. However,", '']
['I recollected afterwards that if he had been prevented going, the', '']
['wedding need not be put off, for Mr. Darcy might have done as well."', '']
['"Mr. Darcy!" repeated Elizabeth, in utter amazement.', '']
['"Oh, yes!--he was to come there with Wickham, you know. But gracious', '']
['me! I quite forgot! I ought not to have said a word about it. I promised', '']
['them so faithfully! What will Wickham say? It was to be such a secret!"', '']
['"If it was to be secret," said Jane, "say not another word on the', '']
['subject. You may depend upon my seeking no further."', '']
['"Oh! certainly," said Elizabeth, though burning with curiosity; "we will', '']
['ask you no questions."', '']
['"Thank you," said Lydia, "for if you did, I should certainly tell you', '']
['all, and then Wickham would be angry."', '']
['On such encouragement to ask, Elizabeth was forced to put it out of her', '']
['power, by running away.', '']
['But to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible; or at least', '']
['it was impossible not to try for information. Mr. Darcy had been at', '']
["her sister's wedding. It was exactly a scene, and exactly among people,", '']
['where he had apparently least to do, and least temptation to go.', '']
['Conjectures as to the meaning of it, rapid and wild, hurried into her', '']
['brain; but she was satisfied with none. Those that best pleased her, as', '']
['placing his conduct in the noblest light, seemed most improbable. She', '']
['could not bear such suspense; and hastily seizing a sheet of paper,', '']
['wrote a short letter to her aunt, to request an explanation of what', '']
['Lydia had dropt, if it were compatible with the secrecy which had been', '']
['intended.', '']
['"You may readily comprehend," she added, "what my curiosity must be', '']
['to know how a person unconnected with any of us, and (comparatively', '']
['speaking) a stranger to our family, should have been amongst you at such', '']
['a time. Pray write instantly, and let me understand it--unless it is,', '']
['for very cogent reasons, to remain in the secrecy which Lydia seems', '']
['to think necessary; and then I must endeavour to be satisfied with', '']
['ignorance."', '']
['"Not that I _shall_, though," she added to herself, as she finished', '']
['the letter; "and my dear aunt, if you do not tell me in an honourable', '']
['manner, I shall certainly be reduced to tricks and stratagems to find it', '']
['out."', '']
["Jane's delicate sense of honour would not allow her to speak to", '']
['Elizabeth privately of what Lydia had let fall; Elizabeth was glad', '']
['of it;--till it appeared whether her inquiries would receive any', '']
['satisfaction, she had rather be without a confidante.', '']
['Chapter 52', '']
['Elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as', '']
['soon as she possibly could. She was no sooner in possession of it', '']
['than, hurrying into the little copse, where she was least likely to', '']
['be interrupted, she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to', '']
['be happy; for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not', '']
['contain a denial.', '']
['"Gracechurch street, Sept. 6.', '']
['"MY DEAR NIECE,', '']
['"I have just received your letter, and shall devote this whole morning', '']
['to answering it, as I foresee that a _little_ writing will not comprise', '']
['what I have to tell you. I must confess myself surprised by your', '']
["application; I did not expect it from _you_. Don't think me angry,", '']
['however, for I only mean to let you know that I had not imagined such', '']
['inquiries to be necessary on _your_ side. If you do not choose to', '']
['understand me, forgive my impertinence. Your uncle is as much surprised', '']
['as I am--and nothing but the belief of your being a party concerned', '']
['would have allowed him to act as he has done. But if you are really', '']
['innocent and ignorant, I must be more explicit.', '']
['"On the very day of my coming home from Longbourn, your uncle had a most', '']
['unexpected visitor. Mr. Darcy called, and was shut up with him several', '']
['hours. It was all over before I arrived; so my curiosity was not so', '']
['dreadfully racked as _yours_ seems to have been. He came to tell Mr.', '']
['Gardiner that he had found out where your sister and Mr. Wickham were,', '']
['and that he had seen and talked with them both; Wickham repeatedly,', '']
['Lydia once. From what I can collect, he left Derbyshire only one day', '']
['after ourselves, and came to town with the resolution of hunting for', '']
['them. The motive professed was his conviction of its being owing to', '']
["himself that Wickham's worthlessness had not been so well known as to", '']
['make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide', '']
['in him. He generously imputed the whole to his mistaken pride, and', '']
['confessed that he had before thought it beneath him to lay his private', '']
['actions open to the world. His character was to speak for itself. He', '']
['called it, therefore, his duty to step forward, and endeavour to remedy', '']
['an evil which had been brought on by himself. If he _had another_', '']
['motive, I am sure it would never disgrace him. He had been some days', '']
['in town, before he was able to discover them; but he had something to', '']
['direct his search, which was more than _we_ had; and the consciousness', '']
['of this was another reason for his resolving to follow us.', '']
['"There is a lady, it seems, a Mrs. Younge, who was some time ago', '']
['governess to Miss Darcy, and was dismissed from her charge on some cause', '']
['of disapprobation, though he did not say what. She then took a large', '']
['house in Edward-street, and has since maintained herself by letting', '']
['lodgings. This Mrs. Younge was, he knew, intimately acquainted with', '']
['Wickham; and he went to her for intelligence of him as soon as he got to', '']
['town. But it was two or three days before he could get from her what he', '']
['wanted. She would not betray her trust, I suppose, without bribery and', '']
['corruption, for she really did know where her friend was to be found.', '']
['Wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival in London, and had', '']
['she been able to receive them into her house, they would have taken up', '']
['their abode with her. At length, however, our kind friend procured the', '']
['wished-for direction. They were in ---- street. He saw Wickham, and', '']
['afterwards insisted on seeing Lydia. His first object with her, he', '']
['acknowledged, had been to persuade her to quit her present disgraceful', '']
['situation, and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed', '']
['on to receive her, offering his assistance, as far as it would go. But', '']
['he found Lydia absolutely resolved on remaining where she was. She cared', '']
['for none of her friends; she wanted no help of his; she would not hear', '']
['of leaving Wickham. She was sure they should be married some time or', '']
['other, and it did not much signify when. Since such were her feelings,', '']
['it only remained, he thought, to secure and expedite a marriage, which,', '']
['in his very first conversation with Wickham, he easily learnt had never', '']
['been _his_ design. He confessed himself obliged to leave the regiment,', '']
['on account of some debts of honour, which were very pressing; and', '']
["scrupled not to lay all the ill-consequences of Lydia's flight on her", '']
['own folly alone. He meant to resign his commission immediately; and as', '']
['to his future situation, he could conjecture very little about it. He', '']
['must go somewhere, but he did not know where, and he knew he should have', '']
['nothing to live on.', '']
['"Mr. Darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once. Though', '']
['Mr. Bennet was not imagined to be very rich, he would have been able', '']
['to do something for him, and his situation must have been benefited by', '']
['marriage. But he found, in reply to this question, that Wickham still', '']
['cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in', '']
['some other country. Under such circumstances, however, he was not likely', '']
['to be proof against the temptation of immediate relief.', '']
['"They met several times, for there was much to be discussed. Wickham of', '']
['course wanted more than he could get; but at length was reduced to be', '']
['reasonable.', '']
['"Every thing being settled between _them_, Mr. Darcy\'s next step was to', '']
['make your uncle acquainted with it, and he first called in Gracechurch', '']
['street the evening before I came home. But Mr. Gardiner could not be', '']
['seen, and Mr. Darcy found, on further inquiry, that your father was', '']
['still with him, but would quit town the next morning. He did not judge', '']
['your father to be a person whom he could so properly consult as your', '']
['uncle, and therefore readily postponed seeing him till after the', '']
['departure of the former. He did not leave his name, and till the next', '']
['day it was only known that a gentleman had called on business.', '']
['"On Saturday he came again. Your father was gone, your uncle at home,', '']
['and, as I said before, they had a great deal of talk together.', '']
['"They met again on Sunday, and then _I_ saw him too. It was not all', '']
['settled before Monday: as soon as it was, the express was sent off to', '']
['Longbourn. But our visitor was very obstinate. I fancy, Lizzy, that', '']
['obstinacy is the real defect of his character, after all. He has been', '']
['accused of many faults at different times, but _this_ is the true one.', '']
['Nothing was to be done that he did not do himself; though I am sure (and', '']
['I do not speak it to be thanked, therefore say nothing about it), your', '']
['uncle would most readily have settled the whole.', '']
['"They battled it together for a long time, which was more than either', '']
['the gentleman or lady concerned in it deserved. But at last your uncle', '']
['was forced to yield, and instead of being allowed to be of use to his', '']
['niece, was forced to put up with only having the probable credit of it,', '']
['which went sorely against the grain; and I really believe your letter', '']
['this morning gave him great pleasure, because it required an explanation', '']
['that would rob him of his borrowed feathers, and give the praise where', '']
['it was due. But, Lizzy, this must go no farther than yourself, or Jane', '']
['at most.', '']
['"You know pretty well, I suppose, what has been done for the young', '']
['people. His debts are to be paid, amounting, I believe, to considerably', '']
['more than a thousand pounds, another thousand in addition to her own', '']
['settled upon _her_, and his commission purchased. The reason why all', '']
['this was to be done by him alone, was such as I have given above. It', '']
['was owing to him, to his reserve and want of proper consideration, that', '']
["Wickham's character had been so misunderstood, and consequently that he", '']
['had been received and noticed as he was. Perhaps there was some truth', '']
["in _this_; though I doubt whether _his_ reserve, or _anybody's_ reserve,", '']
['can be answerable for the event. But in spite of all this fine talking,', '']
['my dear Lizzy, you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would', '']
['never have yielded, if we had not given him credit for _another', '']
['interest_ in the affair.', '']
['"When all this was resolved on, he returned again to his friends, who', '']
['were still staying at Pemberley; but it was agreed that he should be in', '']
['London once more when the wedding took place, and all money matters were', '']
['then to receive the last finish.', '']
['"I believe I have now told you every thing. It is a relation which', '']
['you tell me is to give you great surprise; I hope at least it will not', '']
['afford you any displeasure. Lydia came to us; and Wickham had constant', '']
['admission to the house. _He_ was exactly what he had been, when I', '']
['knew him in Hertfordshire; but I would not tell you how little I was', '']
['satisfied with her behaviour while she staid with us, if I had not', '']
["perceived, by Jane's letter last Wednesday, that her conduct on coming", '']
['home was exactly of a piece with it, and therefore what I now tell', '']
['you can give you no fresh pain. I talked to her repeatedly in the most', '']
['serious manner, representing to her all the wickedness of what she had', '']
['done, and all the unhappiness she had brought on her family. If she', '']
['heard me, it was by good luck, for I am sure she did not listen. I was', '']
['sometimes quite provoked, but then I recollected my dear Elizabeth and', '']
['Jane, and for their sakes had patience with her.', '']
['"Mr. Darcy was punctual in his return, and as Lydia informed you,', '']
['attended the wedding. He dined with us the next day, and was to leave', '']
['town again on Wednesday or Thursday. Will you be very angry with me, my', '']
['dear Lizzy, if I take this opportunity of saying (what I was never bold', '']
['enough to say before) how much I like him. His behaviour to us has,', '']
['in every respect, been as pleasing as when we were in Derbyshire. His', '']
['understanding and opinions all please me; he wants nothing but a little', '']
['more liveliness, and _that_, if he marry _prudently_, his wife may teach', '']
['him. I thought him very sly;--he hardly ever mentioned your name. But', '']
['slyness seems the fashion.', '']
['"Pray forgive me if I have been very presuming, or at least do not', '']
['punish me so far as to exclude me from P. I shall never be quite happy', '']
['till I have been all round the park. A low phaeton, with a nice little', '']
['pair of ponies, would be the very thing.', '']
['"But I must write no more. The children have been wanting me this half', '']
['hour.', '']
['"Yours, very sincerely,', '']
['"M. GARDINER."', '']
['The contents of this letter threw Elizabeth into a flutter of spirits,', '']
['in which it was difficult to determine whether pleasure or pain bore the', '']
['greatest share. The vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had', '']
["produced of what Mr. Darcy might have been doing to forward her sister's", '']
['match, which she had feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too', '']
['great to be probable, and at the same time dreaded to be just, from the', '']
['pain of obligation, were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true!', '']
['He had followed them purposely to town, he had taken on himself all', '']
['the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research; in which', '']
['supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and', '']
['despise, and where he was reduced to meet, frequently meet, reason', '']
['with, persuade, and finally bribe, the man whom he always most wished to', '']
['avoid, and whose very name it was punishment to him to pronounce. He had', '']
['done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem. Her', '']
['heart did whisper that he had done it for her. But it was a hope shortly', '']
['checked by other considerations, and she soon felt that even her vanity', '']
['was insufficient, when required to depend on his affection for her--for', '']
['a woman who had already refused him--as able to overcome a sentiment so', '']
['natural as abhorrence against relationship with Wickham. Brother-in-law', '']
['of Wickham! Every kind of pride must revolt from the connection. He had,', '']
['to be sure, done much. She was ashamed to think how much. But he had', '']
['given a reason for his interference, which asked no extraordinary', '']
['stretch of belief. It was reasonable that he should feel he had been', '']
['wrong; he had liberality, and he had the means of exercising it; and', '']
['though she would not place herself as his principal inducement, she', '']
['could, perhaps, believe that remaining partiality for her might assist', '']
['his endeavours in a cause where her peace of mind must be materially', '']
['concerned. It was painful, exceedingly painful, to know that they were', '']
['under obligations to a person who could never receive a return. They', '']
['owed the restoration of Lydia, her character, every thing, to him. Oh!', '']
['how heartily did she grieve over every ungracious sensation she had ever', '']
['encouraged, every saucy speech she had ever directed towards him. For', '']
['herself she was humbled; but she was proud of him. Proud that in a cause', '']
['of compassion and honour, he had been able to get the better of himself.', '']
["She read over her aunt's commendation of him again and again. It", '']
['was hardly enough; but it pleased her. She was even sensible of some', '']
['pleasure, though mixed with regret, on finding how steadfastly both she', '']
['and her uncle had been persuaded that affection and confidence subsisted', '']
['between Mr. Darcy and herself.', '']
["She was roused from her seat, and her reflections, by some one's", '']
['approach; and before she could strike into another path, she was', '']
['overtaken by Wickham.', '']
['"I am afraid I interrupt your solitary ramble, my dear sister?" said he,', '']
['as he joined her.', '']
['"You certainly do," she replied with a smile; "but it does not follow', '']
['that the interruption must be unwelcome."', '']
['"I should be sorry indeed, if it were. We were always good friends; and', '']
['now we are better."', '']
['"True. Are the others coming out?"', '']
['"I do not know. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are going in the carriage to', '']
['Meryton. And so, my dear sister, I find, from our uncle and aunt, that', '']
['you have actually seen Pemberley."', '']
['She replied in the affirmative.', '']
['"I almost envy you the pleasure, and yet I believe it would be too much', '']
['for me, or else I could take it in my way to Newcastle. And you saw the', '']
['old housekeeper, I suppose? Poor Reynolds, she was always very fond of', '']
['me. But of course she did not mention my name to you."', '']
['"Yes, she did."', '']
['"And what did she say?"', '']
['"That you were gone into the army, and she was afraid had--not turned', '']
['out well. At such a distance as _that_, you know, things are strangely', '']
['misrepresented."', '']
['"Certainly," he replied, biting his lips. Elizabeth hoped she had', '']
['silenced him; but he soon afterwards said:', '']
['"I was surprised to see Darcy in town last month. We passed each other', '']
['several times. I wonder what he can be doing there."', '']
['"Perhaps preparing for his marriage with Miss de Bourgh," said', '']
['Elizabeth. "It must be something particular, to take him there at this', '']
['time of year."', '']
['"Undoubtedly. Did you see him while you were at Lambton? I thought I', '']
['understood from the Gardiners that you had."', '']
['"Yes; he introduced us to his sister."', '']
['"And do you like her?"', '']
['"Very much."', '']
['"I have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly improved within this year', '']
['or two. When I last saw her, she was not very promising. I am very glad', '']
['you liked her. I hope she will turn out well."', '']
['"I dare say she will; she has got over the most trying age."', '']
['"Did you go by the village of Kympton?"', '']
['"I do not recollect that we did."', '']
['"I mention it, because it is the living which I ought to have had. A', '']
['most delightful place!--Excellent Parsonage House! It would have suited', '']
['me in every respect."', '']
['"How should you have liked making sermons?"', '']
['"Exceedingly well. I should have considered it as part of my duty,', '']
['and the exertion would soon have been nothing. One ought not to', '']
['repine;--but, to be sure, it would have been such a thing for me! The', '']
['quiet, the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas', '']
['of happiness! But it was not to be. Did you ever hear Darcy mention the', '']
['circumstance, when you were in Kent?"', '']
['"I have heard from authority, which I thought _as good_, that it was', '']
['left you conditionally only, and at the will of the present patron."', '']
['"You have. Yes, there was something in _that_; I told you so from the', '']
['first, you may remember."', '']
['"I _did_ hear, too, that there was a time, when sermon-making was not', '']
['so palatable to you as it seems to be at present; that you actually', '']
['declared your resolution of never taking orders, and that the business', '']
['had been compromised accordingly."', '']
['"You did! and it was not wholly without foundation. You may remember', '']
['what I told you on that point, when first we talked of it."', '']
['They were now almost at the door of the house, for she had walked fast', '']
["to get rid of him; and unwilling, for her sister's sake, to provoke him,", '']
['she only said in reply, with a good-humoured smile:', '']
['"Come, Mr. Wickham, we are brother and sister, you know. Do not let', '']
['us quarrel about the past. In future, I hope we shall be always of one', '']
['mind."', '']
['She held out her hand; he kissed it with affectionate gallantry, though', '']
['he hardly knew how to look, and they entered the house.', '']
['Chapter 53', '']
['Mr. Wickham was so perfectly satisfied with this conversation that he', '']
['never again distressed himself, or provoked his dear sister Elizabeth,', '']
['by introducing the subject of it; and she was pleased to find that she', '']
['had said enough to keep him quiet.', '']
["The day of his and Lydia's departure soon came, and Mrs. Bennet was", '']
['forced to submit to a separation, which, as her husband by no means', '']
['entered into her scheme of their all going to Newcastle, was likely to', '']
['continue at least a twelvemonth.', '']
['"Oh! my dear Lydia," she cried, "when shall we meet again?"', '']
['"Oh, lord! I don\'t know. Not these two or three years, perhaps."', '']
['"Write to me very often, my dear."', '']
['"As often as I can. But you know married women have never much time for', '']
['writing. My sisters may write to _me_. They will have nothing else to', '']
['do."', '']
["Mr. Wickham's adieus were much more affectionate than his wife's. He", '']
['smiled, looked handsome, and said many pretty things.', '']
['"He is as fine a fellow," said Mr. Bennet, as soon as they were out of', '']
['the house, "as ever I saw. He simpers, and smirks, and makes love to', '']
['us all. I am prodigiously proud of him. I defy even Sir William Lucas', '']
['himself to produce a more valuable son-in-law."', '']
['The loss of her daughter made Mrs. Bennet very dull for several days.', '']
['"I often think," said she, "that there is nothing so bad as parting with', '']
['one\'s friends. One seems so forlorn without them."', '']
['"This is the consequence, you see, Madam, of marrying a daughter," said', '']
['Elizabeth. "It must make you better satisfied that your other four are', '']
['single."', '']
['"It is no such thing. Lydia does not leave me because she is married,', '']
["but only because her husband's regiment happens to be so far off. If", '']
['that had been nearer, she would not have gone so soon."', '']
['But the spiritless condition which this event threw her into was shortly', '']
['relieved, and her mind opened again to the agitation of hope, by an', '']
['article of news which then began to be in circulation. The housekeeper', '']
['at Netherfield had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her', '']
['master, who was coming down in a day or two, to shoot there for several', '']
['weeks. Mrs. Bennet was quite in the fidgets. She looked at Jane, and', '']
['smiled and shook her head by turns.', '']
['"Well, well, and so Mr. Bingley is coming down, sister," (for Mrs.', '']
['Phillips first brought her the news). "Well, so much the better. Not', '']
['that I care about it, though. He is nothing to us, you know, and I am', '']
['sure _I_ never want to see him again. But, however, he is very welcome', '']
['to come to Netherfield, if he likes it. And who knows what _may_ happen?', '']
['But that is nothing to us. You know, sister, we agreed long ago never to', '']
['mention a word about it. And so, is it quite certain he is coming?"', '']
['"You may depend on it," replied the other, "for Mrs. Nicholls was in', '']
['Meryton last night; I saw her passing by, and went out myself on purpose', '']
['to know the truth of it; and she told me that it was certain true. He', '']
['comes down on Thursday at the latest, very likely on Wednesday. She was', '']
["going to the butcher's, she told me, on purpose to order in some meat on", '']
['Wednesday, and she has got three couple of ducks just fit to be killed."', '']
['Miss Bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing', '']
['colour. It was many months since she had mentioned his name to', '']
['Elizabeth; but now, as soon as they were alone together, she said:', '']
['"I saw you look at me to-day, Lizzy, when my aunt told us of the present', '']
["report; and I know I appeared distressed. But don't imagine it was from", '']
['any silly cause. I was only confused for the moment, because I felt that', '']
['I _should_ be looked at. I do assure you that the news does not affect', '']
['me either with pleasure or pain. I am glad of one thing, that he comes', '']
['alone; because we shall see the less of him. Not that I am afraid of', '']
['_myself_, but I dread other people\'s remarks."', '']
['Elizabeth did not know what to make of it. Had she not seen him in', '']
['Derbyshire, she might have supposed him capable of coming there with no', '']
['other view than what was acknowledged; but she still thought him partial', '']
['to Jane, and she wavered as to the greater probability of his coming', '']
["there _with_ his friend's permission, or being bold enough to come", '']
['without it.', '']
['"Yet it is hard," she sometimes thought, "that this poor man cannot', '']
['come to a house which he has legally hired, without raising all this', '']
['speculation! I _will_ leave him to himself."', '']
['In spite of what her sister declared, and really believed to be her', '']
['feelings in the expectation of his arrival, Elizabeth could easily', '']
['perceive that her spirits were affected by it. They were more disturbed,', '']
['more unequal, than she had often seen them.', '']
['The subject which had been so warmly canvassed between their parents,', '']
['about a twelvemonth ago, was now brought forward again.', '']
['"As soon as ever Mr. Bingley comes, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "you', '']
['will wait on him of course."', '']
['"No, no. You forced me into visiting him last year, and promised, if I', '']
['went to see him, he should marry one of my daughters. But it ended in', '']
['nothing, and I will not be sent on a fool\'s errand again."', '']
['His wife represented to him how absolutely necessary such an attention', '']
['would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen, on his returning to', '']
['Netherfield.', '']
['"\'Tis an etiquette I despise," said he. "If he wants our society,', '']
['let him seek it. He knows where we live. I will not spend my hours', '']
['in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back', '']
['again."', '']
['"Well, all I know is, that it will be abominably rude if you do not wait', '']
["on him. But, however, that shan't prevent my asking him to dine here, I", '']
['am determined. We must have Mrs. Long and the Gouldings soon. That will', '']
['make thirteen with ourselves, so there will be just room at table for', '']
['him."', '']
['Consoled by this resolution, she was the better able to bear her', '']
["husband's incivility; though it was very mortifying to know that her", '']
['neighbours might all see Mr. Bingley, in consequence of it, before', '']
['_they_ did. As the day of his arrival drew near,--', '']
['"I begin to be sorry that he comes at all," said Jane to her sister. "It', '']
['would be nothing; I could see him with perfect indifference, but I can', '']
['hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of. My mother means well;', '']
['but she does not know, no one can know, how much I suffer from what she', '']
['says. Happy shall I be, when his stay at Netherfield is over!"', '']
['"I wish I could say anything to comfort you," replied Elizabeth; "but it', '']
['is wholly out of my power. You must feel it; and the usual satisfaction', '']
['of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me, because you have', '']
['always so much."', '']
['Mr. Bingley arrived. Mrs. Bennet, through the assistance of servants,', '']
['contrived to have the earliest tidings of it, that the period of anxiety', '']
['and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could. She counted', '']
['the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent;', '']
['hopeless of seeing him before. But on the third morning after his', '']
['arrival in Hertfordshire, she saw him, from her dressing-room window,', '']
['enter the paddock and ride towards the house.', '']
['Her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy. Jane resolutely', '']
['kept her place at the table; but Elizabeth, to satisfy her mother, went', '']
['to the window--she looked,--she saw Mr. Darcy with him, and sat down', '']
['again by her sister.', '']
['"There is a gentleman with him, mamma," said Kitty; "who can it be?"', '']
['"Some acquaintance or other, my dear, I suppose; I am sure I do not', '']
['know."', '']
['"La!" replied Kitty, "it looks just like that man that used to be with', '']
['him before. Mr. what\'s-his-name. That tall, proud man."', '']
['"Good gracious! Mr. Darcy!--and so it does, I vow. Well, any friend of', '']
["Mr. Bingley's will always be welcome here, to be sure; but else I must", '']
['say that I hate the very sight of him."', '']
['Jane looked at Elizabeth with surprise and concern. She knew but little', '']
['of their meeting in Derbyshire, and therefore felt for the awkwardness', '']
['which must attend her sister, in seeing him almost for the first time', '']
['after receiving his explanatory letter. Both sisters were uncomfortable', '']
['enough. Each felt for the other, and of course for themselves; and their', '']
['mother talked on, of her dislike of Mr. Darcy, and her resolution to be', '']
["civil to him only as Mr. Bingley's friend, without being heard by either", '']
['of them. But Elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be', '']
['suspected by Jane, to whom she had never yet had courage to shew Mrs.', '']
["Gardiner's letter, or to relate her own change of sentiment towards him.", '']
['To Jane, he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused,', '']
['and whose merit she had undervalued; but to her own more extensive', '']
['information, he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted', '']
['for the first of benefits, and whom she regarded herself with an', '']
['interest, if not quite so tender, at least as reasonable and just as', '']
['what Jane felt for Bingley. Her astonishment at his coming--at his', '']
['coming to Netherfield, to Longbourn, and voluntarily seeking her again,', '']
['was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered', '']
['behaviour in Derbyshire.', '']
['The colour which had been driven from her face, returned for half a', '']
['minute with an additional glow, and a smile of delight added lustre to', '']
['her eyes, as she thought for that space of time that his affection and', '']
['wishes must still be unshaken. But she would not be secure.', '']
['"Let me first see how he behaves," said she; "it will then be early', '']
['enough for expectation."', '']
['She sat intently at work, striving to be composed, and without daring to', '']
['lift up her eyes, till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of', '']
['her sister as the servant was approaching the door. Jane looked a little', '']
['paler than usual, but more sedate than Elizabeth had expected. On the', '']
["gentlemen's appearing, her colour increased; yet she received them with", '']
['tolerable ease, and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any', '']
['symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance.', '']
['Elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow, and sat down', '']
['again to her work, with an eagerness which it did not often command. She', '']
['had ventured only one glance at Darcy. He looked serious, as usual; and,', '']
['she thought, more as he had been used to look in Hertfordshire, than as', '']
["she had seen him at Pemberley. But, perhaps he could not in her mother's", '']
['presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt. It was a painful, but', '']
['not an improbable, conjecture.', '']
['Bingley, she had likewise seen for an instant, and in that short period', '']
['saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed. He was received by Mrs.', '']
['Bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed,', '']
['especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of', '']
['her curtsey and address to his friend.', '']
['Elizabeth, particularly, who knew that her mother owed to the latter', '']
['the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy,', '']
['was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill', '']
['applied.', '']
['Darcy, after inquiring of her how Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner did, a question', '']
['which she could not answer without confusion, said scarcely anything. He', '']
['was not seated by her; perhaps that was the reason of his silence; but', '']
['it had not been so in Derbyshire. There he had talked to her friends,', '']
['when he could not to herself. But now several minutes elapsed without', '']
['bringing the sound of his voice; and when occasionally, unable to resist', '']
['the impulse of curiosity, she raised her eyes to his face, she as often', '']
['found him looking at Jane as at herself, and frequently on no object but', '']
['the ground. More thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please, than when', '']
['they last met, were plainly expressed. She was disappointed, and angry', '']
['with herself for being so.', '']
['"Could I expect it to be otherwise!" said she. "Yet why did he come?"', '']
['She was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself; and to', '']
['him she had hardly courage to speak.', '']
['She inquired after his sister, but could do no more.', '']
['"It is a long time, Mr. Bingley, since you went away," said Mrs. Bennet.', '']
['He readily agreed to it.', '']
['"I began to be afraid you would never come back again. People _did_ say', '']
['you meant to quit the place entirely at Michaelmas; but, however, I hope', '']
['it is not true. A great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood,', '']
['since you went away. Miss Lucas is married and settled. And one of my', '']
['own daughters. I suppose you have heard of it; indeed, you must have', '']
['seen it in the papers. It was in The Times and The Courier, I know;', '']
["though it was not put in as it ought to be. It was only said, 'Lately,", '']
["George Wickham, Esq. to Miss Lydia Bennet,' without there being a", '']
['syllable said of her father, or the place where she lived, or anything.', '']
["It was my brother Gardiner's drawing up too, and I wonder how he came to", '']
['make such an awkward business of it. Did you see it?"', '']
['Bingley replied that he did, and made his congratulations. Elizabeth', '']
['dared not lift up her eyes. How Mr. Darcy looked, therefore, she could', '']
['not tell.', '']
['"It is a delightful thing, to be sure, to have a daughter well married,"', '']
['continued her mother, "but at the same time, Mr. Bingley, it is very', '']
['hard to have her taken such a way from me. They are gone down to', '']
['Newcastle, a place quite northward, it seems, and there they are to stay', '']
['I do not know how long. His regiment is there; for I suppose you have', '']
['heard of his leaving the ----shire, and of his being gone into the', '']
['regulars. Thank Heaven! he has _some_ friends, though perhaps not so', '']
['many as he deserves."', '']
['Elizabeth, who knew this to be levelled at Mr. Darcy, was in such', '']
['misery of shame, that she could hardly keep her seat. It drew from her,', '']
['however, the exertion of speaking, which nothing else had so effectually', '']
['done before; and she asked Bingley whether he meant to make any stay in', '']
['the country at present. A few weeks, he believed.', '']
['"When you have killed all your own birds, Mr. Bingley," said her mother,', '']
['"I beg you will come here, and shoot as many as you please on Mr.', '']
["Bennet's manor. I am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you, and", '']
['will save all the best of the covies for you."', '']
["Elizabeth's misery increased, at such unnecessary, such officious", '']
['attention! Were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had', '']
['flattered them a year ago, every thing, she was persuaded, would be', '']
['hastening to the same vexatious conclusion. At that instant, she felt', '']
['that years of happiness could not make Jane or herself amends for', '']
['moments of such painful confusion.', '']
['"The first wish of my heart," said she to herself, "is never more to', '']
['be in company with either of them. Their society can afford no pleasure', '']
['that will atone for such wretchedness as this! Let me never see either', '']
['one or the other again!"', '']
['Yet the misery, for which years of happiness were to offer no', '']
['compensation, received soon afterwards material relief, from observing', '']
['how much the beauty of her sister re-kindled the admiration of her', '']
['former lover. When first he came in, he had spoken to her but little;', '']
['but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention. He', '']
['found her as handsome as she had been last year; as good natured, and', '']
['as unaffected, though not quite so chatty. Jane was anxious that no', '']
['difference should be perceived in her at all, and was really persuaded', '']
['that she talked as much as ever. But her mind was so busily engaged,', '']
['that she did not always know when she was silent.', '']
['When the gentlemen rose to go away, Mrs. Bennet was mindful of her', '']
['intended civility, and they were invited and engaged to dine at', '']
['Longbourn in a few days time.', '']
['"You are quite a visit in my debt, Mr. Bingley," she added, "for when', '']
['you went to town last winter, you promised to take a family dinner with', '']
['us, as soon as you returned. I have not forgot, you see; and I assure', '']
['you, I was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep', '']
['your engagement."', '']
['Bingley looked a little silly at this reflection, and said something of', '']
['his concern at having been prevented by business. They then went away.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine', '']
['there that day; but, though she always kept a very good table, she did', '']
['not think anything less than two courses could be good enough for a man', '']
['on whom she had such anxious designs, or satisfy the appetite and pride', '']
['of one who had ten thousand a year.', '']
['Chapter 54', '']
['As soon as they were gone, Elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits;', '']
['or in other words, to dwell without interruption on those subjects that', '']
["must deaden them more. Mr. Darcy's behaviour astonished and vexed her.", '']
['"Why, if he came only to be silent, grave, and indifferent," said she,', '']
['"did he come at all?"', '']
['She could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure.', '']
['"He could be still amiable, still pleasing, to my uncle and aunt, when', '']
['he was in town; and why not to me? If he fears me, why come hither? If', '']
['he no longer cares for me, why silent? Teasing, teasing, man! I will', '']
['think no more about him."', '']
['Her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach', '']
['of her sister, who joined her with a cheerful look, which showed her', '']
['better satisfied with their visitors, than Elizabeth.', '']
['"Now," said she, "that this first meeting is over, I feel perfectly', '']
['easy. I know my own strength, and I shall never be embarrassed again by', '']
['his coming. I am glad he dines here on Tuesday. It will then be publicly', '']
['seen that, on both sides, we meet only as common and indifferent', '']
['acquaintance."', '']
['"Yes, very indifferent indeed," said Elizabeth, laughingly. "Oh, Jane,', '']
['take care."', '']
['"My dear Lizzy, you cannot think me so weak, as to be in danger now?"', '']
['"I think you are in very great danger of making him as much in love with', '']
['you as ever."', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
['They did not see the gentlemen again till Tuesday; and Mrs. Bennet, in', '']
['the meanwhile, was giving way to all the happy schemes, which the good', '']
["humour and common politeness of Bingley, in half an hour's visit, had", '']
['revived.', '']
['On Tuesday there was a large party assembled at Longbourn; and the two', '']
['who were most anxiously expected, to the credit of their punctuality', '']
['as sportsmen, were in very good time. When they repaired to the', '']
['dining-room, Elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether Bingley would take', '']
['the place, which, in all their former parties, had belonged to him, by', '']
['her sister. Her prudent mother, occupied by the same ideas, forbore', '']
['to invite him to sit by herself. On entering the room, he seemed to', '']
['hesitate; but Jane happened to look round, and happened to smile: it was', '']
['decided. He placed himself by her.', '']
['Elizabeth, with a triumphant sensation, looked towards his friend.', '']
['He bore it with noble indifference, and she would have imagined that', '']
['Bingley had received his sanction to be happy, had she not seen his eyes', '']
['likewise turned towards Mr. Darcy, with an expression of half-laughing', '']
['alarm.', '']
['His behaviour to her sister was such, during dinner time, as showed an', '']
['admiration of her, which, though more guarded than formerly, persuaded', '']
["Elizabeth, that if left wholly to himself, Jane's happiness, and his", '']
['own, would be speedily secured. Though she dared not depend upon the', '']
['consequence, she yet received pleasure from observing his behaviour. It', '']
['gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast; for she was in', '']
['no cheerful humour. Mr. Darcy was almost as far from her as the table', '']
['could divide them. He was on one side of her mother. She knew how little', '']
['such a situation would give pleasure to either, or make either appear to', '']
['advantage. She was not near enough to hear any of their discourse, but', '']
['she could see how seldom they spoke to each other, and how formal and', '']
["cold was their manner whenever they did. Her mother's ungraciousness,", '']
["made the sense of what they owed him more painful to Elizabeth's mind;", '']
['and she would, at times, have given anything to be privileged to tell', '']
['him that his kindness was neither unknown nor unfelt by the whole of the', '']
['family.', '']
['She was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity of', '']
['bringing them together; that the whole of the visit would not pass away', '']
['without enabling them to enter into something more of conversation than', '']
['the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entrance. Anxious', '']
['and uneasy, the period which passed in the drawing-room, before the', '']
['gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her', '']
['uncivil. She looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all', '']
['her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend.', '']
['"If he does not come to me, _then_," said she, "I shall give him up for', '']
['ever."', '']
['The gentlemen came; and she thought he looked as if he would have', '']
['answered her hopes; but, alas! the ladies had crowded round the table,', '']
['where Miss Bennet was making tea, and Elizabeth pouring out the coffee,', '']
['in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her', '']
["which would admit of a chair. And on the gentlemen's approaching, one of", '']
['the girls moved closer to her than ever, and said, in a whisper:', '']
['"The men shan\'t come and part us, I am determined. We want none of them;', '']
['do we?"', '']
['Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with', '']
['her eyes, envied everyone to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience enough', '']
['to help anybody to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for', '']
['being so silly!', '']
['"A man who has once been refused! How could I ever be foolish enough to', '']
['expect a renewal of his love? Is there one among the sex, who would not', '']
['protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman?', '']
['There is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings!"', '']
['She was a little revived, however, by his bringing back his coffee cup', '']
['himself; and she seized the opportunity of saying:', '']
['"Is your sister at Pemberley still?"', '']
['"Yes, she will remain there till Christmas."', '']
['"And quite alone? Have all her friends left her?"', '']
['"Mrs. Annesley is with her. The others have been gone on to Scarborough,', '']
['these three weeks."', '']
['She could think of nothing more to say; but if he wished to converse', '']
['with her, he might have better success. He stood by her, however, for', '']
["some minutes, in silence; and, at last, on the young lady's whispering", '']
['to Elizabeth again, he walked away.', '']
['When the tea-things were removed, and the card-tables placed, the ladies', '']
['all rose, and Elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him,', '']
['when all her views were overthrown by seeing him fall a victim to her', '']
["mother's rapacity for whist players, and in a few moments after seated", '']
['with the rest of the party. She now lost every expectation of pleasure.', '']
['They were confined for the evening at different tables, and she had', '']
['nothing to hope, but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side', '']
['of the room, as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet had designed to keep the two Netherfield gentlemen to', '']
['supper; but their carriage was unluckily ordered before any of the', '']
['others, and she had no opportunity of detaining them.', '']
['"Well girls," said she, as soon as they were left to themselves, "What', '']
['say you to the day? I think every thing has passed off uncommonly well,', '']
['I assure you. The dinner was as well dressed as any I ever saw. The', '']
['venison was roasted to a turn--and everybody said they never saw so', '']
['fat a haunch. The soup was fifty times better than what we had at the', '']
["Lucases' last week; and even Mr. Darcy acknowledged, that the partridges", '']
['were remarkably well done; and I suppose he has two or three French', '']
['cooks at least. And, my dear Jane, I never saw you look in greater', '']
['beauty. Mrs. Long said so too, for I asked her whether you did not. And', '']
["what do you think she said besides? 'Ah! Mrs. Bennet, we shall have her", '']
["at Netherfield at last.' She did indeed. I do think Mrs. Long is as good", '']
['a creature as ever lived--and her nieces are very pretty behaved girls,', '']
['and not at all handsome: I like them prodigiously."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet, in short, was in very great spirits; she had seen enough of', '']
["Bingley's behaviour to Jane, to be convinced that she would get him at", '']
['last; and her expectations of advantage to her family, when in a happy', '']
['humour, were so far beyond reason, that she was quite disappointed at', '']
['not seeing him there again the next day, to make his proposals.', '']
['"It has been a very agreeable day," said Miss Bennet to Elizabeth. "The', '']
['party seemed so well selected, so suitable one with the other. I hope we', '']
['may often meet again."', '']
['Elizabeth smiled.', '']
['"Lizzy, you must not do so. You must not suspect me. It mortifies me.', '']
['I assure you that I have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an', '']
['agreeable and sensible young man, without having a wish beyond it. I am', '']
['perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had', '']
['any design of engaging my affection. It is only that he is blessed', '']
['with greater sweetness of address, and a stronger desire of generally', '']
['pleasing, than any other man."', '']
['"You are very cruel," said her sister, "you will not let me smile, and', '']
['are provoking me to it every moment."', '']
['"How hard it is in some cases to be believed!"', '']
['"And how impossible in others!"', '']
['"But why should you wish to persuade me that I feel more than I', '']
['acknowledge?"', '']
['"That is a question which I hardly know how to answer. We all love to', '']
['instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing. Forgive', '']
['me; and if you persist in indifference, do not make me your confidante."', '']
['Chapter 55', '']
['A few days after this visit, Mr. Bingley called again, and alone. His', '']
['friend had left him that morning for London, but was to return home in', '']
['ten days time. He sat with them above an hour, and was in remarkably', '']
['good spirits. Mrs. Bennet invited him to dine with them; but, with many', '']
['expressions of concern, he confessed himself engaged elsewhere.', '']
['"Next time you call," said she, "I hope we shall be more lucky."', '']
['He should be particularly happy at any time, etc. etc.; and if she would', '']
['give him leave, would take an early opportunity of waiting on them.', '']
['"Can you come to-morrow?"', '']
['Yes, he had no engagement at all for to-morrow; and her invitation was', '']
['accepted with alacrity.', '']
['He came, and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them', '']
["dressed. In ran Mrs. Bennet to her daughter's room, in her dressing", '']
['gown, and with her hair half finished, crying out:', '']
['"My dear Jane, make haste and hurry down. He is come--Mr. Bingley is', '']
['come. He is, indeed. Make haste, make haste. Here, Sarah, come to Miss', '']
['Bennet this moment, and help her on with her gown. Never mind Miss', '']
['Lizzy\'s hair."', '']
['"We will be down as soon as we can," said Jane; "but I dare say Kitty is', '']
['forwarder than either of us, for she went up stairs half an hour ago."', '']
['"Oh! hang Kitty! what has she to do with it? Come be quick, be quick!', '']
['Where is your sash, my dear?"', '']
['But when her mother was gone, Jane would not be prevailed on to go down', '']
['without one of her sisters.', '']
['The same anxiety to get them by themselves was visible again in the', '']
['evening. After tea, Mr. Bennet retired to the library, as was his', '']
['custom, and Mary went up stairs to her instrument. Two obstacles of', '']
['the five being thus removed, Mrs. Bennet sat looking and winking at', '']
['Elizabeth and Catherine for a considerable time, without making any', '']
['impression on them. Elizabeth would not observe her; and when at last', '']
['Kitty did, she very innocently said, "What is the matter mamma? What do', '']
['you keep winking at me for? What am I to do?"', '']
['"Nothing child, nothing. I did not wink at you." She then sat still', '']
['five minutes longer; but unable to waste such a precious occasion, she', '']
['suddenly got up, and saying to Kitty, "Come here, my love, I want to', '']
['speak to you," took her out of the room. Jane instantly gave a look', '']
['at Elizabeth which spoke her distress at such premeditation, and her', '']
['entreaty that _she_ would not give in to it. In a few minutes, Mrs.', '']
['Bennet half-opened the door and called out:', '']
['"Lizzy, my dear, I want to speak with you."', '']
['Elizabeth was forced to go.', '']
['"We may as well leave them by themselves you know;" said her mother, as', '']
['soon as she was in the hall. "Kitty and I are going up stairs to sit in', '']
['my dressing-room."', '']
['Elizabeth made no attempt to reason with her mother, but remained', '']
['quietly in the hall, till she and Kitty were out of sight, then returned', '']
['into the drawing-room.', '']
["Mrs. Bennet's schemes for this day were ineffectual. Bingley was every", '']
['thing that was charming, except the professed lover of her daughter. His', '']
['ease and cheerfulness rendered him a most agreeable addition to their', '']
['evening party; and he bore with the ill-judged officiousness of the', '']
['mother, and heard all her silly remarks with a forbearance and command', '']
['of countenance particularly grateful to the daughter.', '']
['He scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper; and before he went', '']
['away, an engagement was formed, chiefly through his own and Mrs.', '']
["Bennet's means, for his coming next morning to shoot with her husband.", '']
['After this day, Jane said no more of her indifference. Not a word passed', '']
['between the sisters concerning Bingley; but Elizabeth went to bed in', '']
['the happy belief that all must speedily be concluded, unless Mr. Darcy', '']
['returned within the stated time. Seriously, however, she felt tolerably', '']
["persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentleman's", '']
['concurrence.', '']
['Bingley was punctual to his appointment; and he and Mr. Bennet spent', '']
['the morning together, as had been agreed on. The latter was much more', '']
['agreeable than his companion expected. There was nothing of presumption', '']
['or folly in Bingley that could provoke his ridicule, or disgust him into', '']
['silence; and he was more communicative, and less eccentric, than the', '']
['other had ever seen him. Bingley of course returned with him to dinner;', '']
["and in the evening Mrs. Bennet's invention was again at work to get", '']
['every body away from him and her daughter. Elizabeth, who had a letter', '']
['to write, went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea;', '']
['for as the others were all going to sit down to cards, she could not be', '']
["wanted to counteract her mother's schemes.", '']
['But on returning to the drawing-room, when her letter was finished, she', '']
['saw, to her infinite surprise, there was reason to fear that her mother', '']
['had been too ingenious for her. On opening the door, she perceived her', '']
['sister and Bingley standing together over the hearth, as if engaged in', '']
['earnest conversation; and had this led to no suspicion, the faces of', '']
['both, as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other, would', '']
['have told it all. Their situation was awkward enough; but _hers_ she', '']
['thought was still worse. Not a syllable was uttered by either; and', '']
['Elizabeth was on the point of going away again, when Bingley, who as', '']
['well as the other had sat down, suddenly rose, and whispering a few', '']
['words to her sister, ran out of the room.', '']
['Jane could have no reserves from Elizabeth, where confidence would give', '']
['pleasure; and instantly embracing her, acknowledged, with the liveliest', '']
['emotion, that she was the happiest creature in the world.', '']
['"\'Tis too much!" she added, "by far too much. I do not deserve it. Oh!', '']
['why is not everybody as happy?"', '']
["Elizabeth's congratulations were given with a sincerity, a warmth,", '']
['a delight, which words could but poorly express. Every sentence of', '']
['kindness was a fresh source of happiness to Jane. But she would not', '']
['allow herself to stay with her sister, or say half that remained to be', '']
['said for the present.', '']
['"I must go instantly to my mother;" she cried. "I would not on any', '']
['account trifle with her affectionate solicitude; or allow her to hear it', '']
['from anyone but myself. He is gone to my father already. Oh! Lizzy, to', '']
['know that what I have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear', '']
['family! how shall I bear so much happiness!"', '']
['She then hastened away to her mother, who had purposely broken up the', '']
['card party, and was sitting up stairs with Kitty.', '']
['Elizabeth, who was left by herself, now smiled at the rapidity and ease', '']
['with which an affair was finally settled, that had given them so many', '']
['previous months of suspense and vexation.', '']
['"And this," said she, "is the end of all his friend\'s anxious', '']
["circumspection! of all his sister's falsehood and contrivance! the", '']
['happiest, wisest, most reasonable end!"', '']
['In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference with her', '']
['father had been short and to the purpose.', '']
['"Where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.', '']
['"With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say."', '']
['He then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes', '']
['and affection of a sister. Elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed', '']
['her delight in the prospect of their relationship. They shook hands with', '']
['great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen', '']
["to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections;", '']
['and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his', '']
['expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for', '']
['basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of', '']
['Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and', '']
['himself.', '']
['It was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of', '']
["Miss Bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as", '']
['made her look handsomer than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped', '']
['her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent or', '']
['speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings,', '']
['though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when', '']
['Mr. Bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly showed', '']
['how really happy he was.', '']
['Not a word, however, passed his lips in allusion to it, till their', '']
['visitor took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he', '']
['turned to his daughter, and said:', '']
['"Jane, I congratulate you. You will be a very happy woman."', '']
['Jane went to him instantly, kissed him, and thanked him for his', '']
['goodness.', '']
['"You are a good girl;" he replied, "and I have great pleasure in', '']
['thinking you will be so happily settled. I have not a doubt of your', '']
['doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unlike. You are', '']
['each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so', '']
['easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will', '']
['always exceed your income."', '']
['"I hope not so. Imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be', '']
['unpardonable in me."', '']
['"Exceed their income! My dear Mr. Bennet," cried his wife, "what are you', '']
['talking of? Why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely', '']
['more." Then addressing her daughter, "Oh! my dear, dear Jane, I am so', '']
["happy! I am sure I shan't get a wink of sleep all night. I knew how it", '']
['would be. I always said it must be so, at last. I was sure you could not', '']
['be so beautiful for nothing! I remember, as soon as ever I saw him, when', '']
['he first came into Hertfordshire last year, I thought how likely it was', '']
['that you should come together. Oh! he is the handsomest young man that', '']
['ever was seen!"', '']
['Wickham, Lydia, were all forgotten. Jane was beyond competition her', '']
['favourite child. At that moment, she cared for no other. Her younger', '']
['sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness', '']
['which she might in future be able to dispense.', '']
['Mary petitioned for the use of the library at Netherfield; and Kitty', '']
['begged very hard for a few balls there every winter.', '']
['Bingley, from this time, was of course a daily visitor at Longbourn;', '']
['coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after', '']
['supper; unless when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough', '']
['detested, had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself', '']
['obliged to accept.', '']
['Elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for', '']
['while he was present, Jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else;', '']
['but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours', '']
['of separation that must sometimes occur. In the absence of Jane, he', '']
['always attached himself to Elizabeth, for the pleasure of talking of', '']
['her; and when Bingley was gone, Jane constantly sought the same means of', '']
['relief.', '']
['"He has made me so happy," said she, one evening, "by telling me that he', '']
['was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring! I had not believed', '']
['it possible."', '']
['"I suspected as much," replied Elizabeth. "But how did he account for', '']
['it?"', '']
['"It must have been his sister\'s doing. They were certainly no friends to', '']
['his acquaintance with me, which I cannot wonder at, since he might have', '']
['chosen so much more advantageously in many respects. But when they see,', '']
['as I trust they will, that their brother is happy with me, they will', '']
['learn to be contented, and we shall be on good terms again; though we', '']
['can never be what we once were to each other."', '']
['"That is the most unforgiving speech," said Elizabeth, "that I ever', '']
['heard you utter. Good girl! It would vex me, indeed, to see you again', '']
['the dupe of Miss Bingley\'s pretended regard."', '']
['"Would you believe it, Lizzy, that when he went to town last November,', '']
['he really loved me, and nothing but a persuasion of _my_ being', '']
['indifferent would have prevented his coming down again!"', '']
['"He made a little mistake to be sure; but it is to the credit of his', '']
['modesty."', '']
['This naturally introduced a panegyric from Jane on his diffidence, and', '']
['the little value he put on his own good qualities. Elizabeth was pleased', '']
['to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for,', '']
['though Jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she', '']
['knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.', '']
['"I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried', '']
['Jane. "Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled from my family, and blessed', '']
['above them all! If I could but see _you_ as happy! If there _were_ but', '']
['such another man for you!"', '']
['"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as', '']
['you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your', '']
['happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very', '']
['good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time."', '']
['The situation of affairs in the Longbourn family could not be long a', '']
['secret. Mrs. Bennet was privileged to whisper it to Mrs. Phillips,', '']
['and she ventured, without any permission, to do the same by all her', '']
['neighbours in Meryton.', '']
['The Bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the', '']
['world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away,', '']
['they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.', '']
['Chapter 56', '']
["One morning, about a week after Bingley's engagement with Jane had been", '']
['formed, as he and the females of the family were sitting together in the', '']
['dining-room, their attention was suddenly drawn to the window, by the', '']
['sound of a carriage; and they perceived a chaise and four driving up', '']
['the lawn. It was too early in the morning for visitors, and besides, the', '']
['equipage did not answer to that of any of their neighbours. The horses', '']
['were post; and neither the carriage, nor the livery of the servant who', '']
['preceded it, were familiar to them. As it was certain, however, that', '']
['somebody was coming, Bingley instantly prevailed on Miss Bennet to avoid', '']
['the confinement of such an intrusion, and walk away with him into the', '']
['shrubbery. They both set off, and the conjectures of the remaining three', '']
['continued, though with little satisfaction, till the door was thrown', '']
['open and their visitor entered. It was Lady Catherine de Bourgh.', '']
['They were of course all intending to be surprised; but their', '']
['astonishment was beyond their expectation; and on the part of Mrs.', '']
['Bennet and Kitty, though she was perfectly unknown to them, even', '']
['inferior to what Elizabeth felt.', '']
['She entered the room with an air more than usually ungracious, made no', '']
["other reply to Elizabeth's salutation than a slight inclination of the", '']
['head, and sat down without saying a word. Elizabeth had mentioned her', '']
["name to her mother on her ladyship's entrance, though no request of", '']
['introduction had been made.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet, all amazement, though flattered by having a guest of such', '']
['high importance, received her with the utmost politeness. After sitting', '']
['for a moment in silence, she said very stiffly to Elizabeth,', '']
['"I hope you are well, Miss Bennet. That lady, I suppose, is your', '']
['mother."', '']
['Elizabeth replied very concisely that she was.', '']
['"And _that_ I suppose is one of your sisters."', '']
['"Yes, madam," said Mrs. Bennet, delighted to speak to Lady Catherine.', '']
['"She is my youngest girl but one. My youngest of all is lately married,', '']
['and my eldest is somewhere about the grounds, walking with a young man', '']
['who, I believe, will soon become a part of the family."', '']
['"You have a very small park here," returned Lady Catherine after a short', '']
['silence.', '']
['"It is nothing in comparison of Rosings, my lady, I dare say; but I', '']
['assure you it is much larger than Sir William Lucas\'s."', '']
['"This must be a most inconvenient sitting room for the evening, in', '']
['summer; the windows are full west."', '']
['Mrs. Bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner, and then', '']
['added:', '']
['"May I take the liberty of asking your ladyship whether you left Mr. and', '']
['Mrs. Collins well."', '']
['"Yes, very well. I saw them the night before last."', '']
['Elizabeth now expected that she would produce a letter for her from', '']
['Charlotte, as it seemed the only probable motive for her calling. But no', '']
['letter appeared, and she was completely puzzled.', '']
['Mrs. Bennet, with great civility, begged her ladyship to take some', '']
['refreshment; but Lady Catherine very resolutely, and not very politely,', '']
['declined eating anything; and then, rising up, said to Elizabeth,', '']
['"Miss Bennet, there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness', '']
['on one side of your lawn. I should be glad to take a turn in it, if you', '']
['will favour me with your company."', '']
['"Go, my dear," cried her mother, "and show her ladyship about the', '']
['different walks. I think she will be pleased with the hermitage."', '']
['Elizabeth obeyed, and running into her own room for her parasol,', '']
['attended her noble guest downstairs. As they passed through the', '']
['hall, Lady Catherine opened the doors into the dining-parlour and', '']
['drawing-room, and pronouncing them, after a short survey, to be decent', '']
['looking rooms, walked on.', '']
['Her carriage remained at the door, and Elizabeth saw that her', '']
['waiting-woman was in it. They proceeded in silence along the gravel walk', '']
['that led to the copse; Elizabeth was determined to make no effort for', '']
['conversation with a woman who was now more than usually insolent and', '']
['disagreeable.', '']
['"How could I ever think her like her nephew?" said she, as she looked in', '']
['her face.', '']
['As soon as they entered the copse, Lady Catherine began in the following', '']
['manner:--', '']
['"You can be at no loss, Miss Bennet, to understand the reason of my', '']
['journey hither. Your own heart, your own conscience, must tell you why I', '']
['come."', '']
['Elizabeth looked with unaffected astonishment.', '']
['"Indeed, you are mistaken, Madam. I have not been at all able to account', '']
['for the honour of seeing you here."', '']
['"Miss Bennet," replied her ladyship, in an angry tone, "you ought to', '']
['know, that I am not to be trifled with. But however insincere _you_ may', '']
['choose to be, you shall not find _me_ so. My character has ever been', '']
['celebrated for its sincerity and frankness, and in a cause of such', '']
['moment as this, I shall certainly not depart from it. A report of a most', '']
['alarming nature reached me two days ago. I was told that not only your', '']
['sister was on the point of being most advantageously married, but that', '']
['you, that Miss Elizabeth Bennet, would, in all likelihood, be soon', '']
['afterwards united to my nephew, my own nephew, Mr. Darcy. Though I', '']
['_know_ it must be a scandalous falsehood, though I would not injure him', '']
['so much as to suppose the truth of it possible, I instantly resolved', '']
['on setting off for this place, that I might make my sentiments known to', '']
['you."', '']
['"If you believed it impossible to be true," said Elizabeth, colouring', '']
['with astonishment and disdain, "I wonder you took the trouble of coming', '']
['so far. What could your ladyship propose by it?"', '']
['"At once to insist upon having such a report universally contradicted."', '']
['"Your coming to Longbourn, to see me and my family," said Elizabeth', '']
['coolly, "will be rather a confirmation of it; if, indeed, such a report', '']
['is in existence."', '']
['"If! Do you then pretend to be ignorant of it? Has it not been', '']
['industriously circulated by yourselves? Do you not know that such a', '']
['report is spread abroad?"', '']
['"I never heard that it was."', '']
['"And can you likewise declare, that there is no foundation for it?"', '']
['"I do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship. You may', '']
['ask questions which I shall not choose to answer."', '']
['"This is not to be borne. Miss Bennet, I insist on being satisfied. Has', '']
['he, has my nephew, made you an offer of marriage?"', '']
['"Your ladyship has declared it to be impossible."', '']
['"It ought to be so; it must be so, while he retains the use of his', '']
['reason. But your arts and allurements may, in a moment of infatuation,', '']
['have made him forget what he owes to himself and to all his family. You', '']
['may have drawn him in."', '']
['"If I have, I shall be the last person to confess it."', '']
['"Miss Bennet, do you know who I am? I have not been accustomed to such', '']
['language as this. I am almost the nearest relation he has in the world,', '']
['and am entitled to know all his dearest concerns."', '']
['"But you are not entitled to know mine; nor will such behaviour as this,', '']
['ever induce me to be explicit."', '']
['"Let me be rightly understood. This match, to which you have the', '']
['presumption to aspire, can never take place. No, never. Mr. Darcy is', '']
['engaged to my daughter. Now what have you to say?"', '']
['"Only this; that if he is so, you can have no reason to suppose he will', '']
['make an offer to me."', '']
['Lady Catherine hesitated for a moment, and then replied:', '']
['"The engagement between them is of a peculiar kind. From their infancy,', '']
['they have been intended for each other. It was the favourite wish of', '']
['_his_ mother, as well as of hers. While in their cradles, we planned', '']
['the union: and now, at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would', '']
['be accomplished in their marriage, to be prevented by a young woman of', '']
['inferior birth, of no importance in the world, and wholly unallied to', '']
['the family! Do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends? To his', '']
['tacit engagement with Miss de Bourgh? Are you lost to every feeling of', '']
['propriety and delicacy? Have you not heard me say that from his earliest', '']
['hours he was destined for his cousin?"', '']
['"Yes, and I had heard it before. But what is that to me? If there is', '']
['no other objection to my marrying your nephew, I shall certainly not', '']
['be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to', '']
['marry Miss de Bourgh. You both did as much as you could in planning the', '']
['marriage. Its completion depended on others. If Mr. Darcy is neither', '']
['by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin, why is not he to make', '']
['another choice? And if I am that choice, why may not I accept him?"', '']
['"Because honour, decorum, prudence, nay, interest, forbid it. Yes,', '']
['Miss Bennet, interest; for do not expect to be noticed by his family or', '']
['friends, if you wilfully act against the inclinations of all. You will', '']
['be censured, slighted, and despised, by everyone connected with him.', '']
['Your alliance will be a disgrace; your name will never even be mentioned', '']
['by any of us."', '']
['"These are heavy misfortunes," replied Elizabeth. "But the wife of Mr.', '']
['Darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily', '']
['attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause', '']
['to repine."', '']
['"Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you! Is this your gratitude', '']
['for my attentions to you last spring? Is nothing due to me on that', '']
['score? Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came', '']
['here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will', '']
["I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used to submit to any person's", '']
['whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment."', '']
['"_That_ will make your ladyship\'s situation at present more pitiable;', '']
['but it will have no effect on me."', '']
['"I will not be interrupted. Hear me in silence. My daughter and my', '']
['nephew are formed for each other. They are descended, on the maternal', '']
["side, from the same noble line; and, on the father's, from respectable,", '']
['honourable, and ancient--though untitled--families. Their fortune on', '']
['both sides is splendid. They are destined for each other by the voice of', '']
['every member of their respective houses; and what is to divide them?', '']
['The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections,', '']
['or fortune. Is this to be endured! But it must not, shall not be. If you', '']
['were sensible of your own good, you would not wish to quit the sphere in', '']
['which you have been brought up."', '']
['"In marrying your nephew, I should not consider myself as quitting that', '']
["sphere. He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are", '']
['equal."', '']
['"True. You _are_ a gentleman\'s daughter. But who was your mother?', '']
['Who are your uncles and aunts? Do not imagine me ignorant of their', '']
['condition."', '']
['"Whatever my connections may be," said Elizabeth, "if your nephew does', '']
['not object to them, they can be nothing to _you_."', '']
['"Tell me once for all, are you engaged to him?"', '']
['Though Elizabeth would not, for the mere purpose of obliging Lady', '']
['Catherine, have answered this question, she could not but say, after a', '']
["moment's deliberation:", '']
['"I am not."', '']
['Lady Catherine seemed pleased.', '']
['"And will you promise me, never to enter into such an engagement?"', '']
['"I will make no promise of the kind."', '']
['"Miss Bennet I am shocked and astonished. I expected to find a more', '']
['reasonable young woman. But do not deceive yourself into a belief that', '']
['I will ever recede. I shall not go away till you have given me the', '']
['assurance I require."', '']
['"And I certainly _never_ shall give it. I am not to be intimidated into', '']
['anything so wholly unreasonable. Your ladyship wants Mr. Darcy to marry', '']
['your daughter; but would my giving you the wished-for promise make their', '']
['marriage at all more probable? Supposing him to be attached to me, would', '']
['my refusing to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cousin?', '']
['Allow me to say, Lady Catherine, that the arguments with which you have', '']
['supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the', '']
['application was ill-judged. You have widely mistaken my character, if', '']
['you think I can be worked on by such persuasions as these. How far your', '']
['nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs, I cannot tell;', '']
['but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine. I must beg,', '']
['therefore, to be importuned no farther on the subject."', '']
['"Not so hasty, if you please. I have by no means done. To all the', '']
['objections I have already urged, I have still another to add. I am', '']
["no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sister's infamous", '']
["elopement. I know it all; that the young man's marrying her was a", '']
['patched-up business, at the expence of your father and uncles. And is', '']
["such a girl to be my nephew's sister? Is her husband, is the son of his", '']
["late father's steward, to be his brother? Heaven and earth!--of what are", '']
['you thinking? Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?"', '']
['"You can now have nothing further to say," she resentfully answered.', '']
['"You have insulted me in every possible method. I must beg to return to', '']
['the house."', '']
['And she rose as she spoke. Lady Catherine rose also, and they turned', '']
['back. Her ladyship was highly incensed.', '']
['"You have no regard, then, for the honour and credit of my nephew!', '']
['Unfeeling, selfish girl! Do you not consider that a connection with you', '']
['must disgrace him in the eyes of everybody?"', '']
['"Lady Catherine, I have nothing further to say. You know my sentiments."', '']
['"You are then resolved to have him?"', '']
['"I have said no such thing. I am only resolved to act in that manner,', '']
['which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without', '']
['reference to _you_, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me."', '']
['"It is well. You refuse, then, to oblige me. You refuse to obey the', '']
['claims of duty, honour, and gratitude. You are determined to ruin him in', '']
['the opinion of all his friends, and make him the contempt of the world."', '']
['"Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude," replied Elizabeth, "have any', '']
['possible claim on me, in the present instance. No principle of either', '']
['would be violated by my marriage with Mr. Darcy. And with regard to the', '']
['resentment of his family, or the indignation of the world, if the former', '']
["_were_ excited by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment's", '']
['concern--and the world in general would have too much sense to join in', '']
['the scorn."', '']
['"And this is your real opinion! This is your final resolve! Very well.', '']
['I shall now know how to act. Do not imagine, Miss Bennet, that your', '']
['ambition will ever be gratified. I came to try you. I hoped to find you', '']
['reasonable; but, depend upon it, I will carry my point."', '']
['In this manner Lady Catherine talked on, till they were at the door of', '']
['the carriage, when, turning hastily round, she added, "I take no leave', '']
['of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve', '']
['no such attention. I am most seriously displeased."', '']
['Elizabeth made no answer; and without attempting to persuade her', '']
['ladyship to return into the house, walked quietly into it herself. She', '']
['heard the carriage drive away as she proceeded up stairs. Her mother', '']
['impatiently met her at the door of the dressing-room, to ask why Lady', '']
['Catherine would not come in again and rest herself.', '']
['"She did not choose it," said her daughter, "she would go."', '']
['"She is a very fine-looking woman! and her calling here was prodigiously', '']
['civil! for she only came, I suppose, to tell us the Collinses were', '']
['well. She is on her road somewhere, I dare say, and so, passing through', '']
['Meryton, thought she might as well call on you. I suppose she had', '']
['nothing particular to say to you, Lizzy?"', '']
['Elizabeth was forced to give into a little falsehood here; for to', '']
['acknowledge the substance of their conversation was impossible.', '']
['Chapter 57', '']
['The discomposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw', '']
['Elizabeth into, could not be easily overcome; nor could she, for many', '']
['hours, learn to think of it less than incessantly. Lady Catherine, it', '']
['appeared, had actually taken the trouble of this journey from Rosings,', '']
['for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed engagement with Mr.', '']
['Darcy. It was a rational scheme, to be sure! but from what the report', '']
['of their engagement could originate, Elizabeth was at a loss to imagine;', '']
['till she recollected that _his_ being the intimate friend of Bingley,', '']
['and _her_ being the sister of Jane, was enough, at a time when the', '']
['expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another, to supply', '']
['the idea. She had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her', '']
['sister must bring them more frequently together. And her neighbours', '']
['at Lucas Lodge, therefore (for through their communication with the', '']
['Collinses, the report, she concluded, had reached Lady Catherine), had', '']
['only set that down as almost certain and immediate, which she had looked', '']
['forward to as possible at some future time.', '']
["In revolving Lady Catherine's expressions, however, she could not help", '']
['feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence of her persisting', '']
['in this interference. From what she had said of her resolution to', '']
['prevent their marriage, it occurred to Elizabeth that she must meditate', '']
['an application to her nephew; and how _he_ might take a similar', '']
['representation of the evils attached to a connection with her, she dared', '']
['not pronounce. She knew not the exact degree of his affection for his', '']
['aunt, or his dependence on her judgment, but it was natural to suppose', '']
['that he thought much higher of her ladyship than _she_ could do; and it', '']
['was certain that, in enumerating the miseries of a marriage with _one_,', '']
['whose immediate connections were so unequal to his own, his aunt would', '']
['address him on his weakest side. With his notions of dignity, he would', '']
['probably feel that the arguments, which to Elizabeth had appeared weak', '']
['and ridiculous, contained much good sense and solid reasoning.', '']
['If he had been wavering before as to what he should do, which had often', '']
['seemed likely, the advice and entreaty of so near a relation might', '']
['settle every doubt, and determine him at once to be as happy as dignity', '']
['unblemished could make him. In that case he would return no more. Lady', '']
['Catherine might see him in her way through town; and his engagement to', '']
['Bingley of coming again to Netherfield must give way.', '']
['"If, therefore, an excuse for not keeping his promise should come to his', '']
['friend within a few days," she added, "I shall know how to understand', '']
['it. I shall then give over every expectation, every wish of his', '']
['constancy. If he is satisfied with only regretting me, when he might', '']
['have obtained my affections and hand, I shall soon cease to regret him', '']
['at all."', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
['The surprise of the rest of the family, on hearing who their visitor had', '']
['been, was very great; but they obligingly satisfied it, with the same', '']
["kind of supposition which had appeased Mrs. Bennet's curiosity; and", '']
['Elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject.', '']
['The next morning, as she was going downstairs, she was met by her', '']
['father, who came out of his library with a letter in his hand.', '']
['"Lizzy," said he, "I was going to look for you; come into my room."', '']
['She followed him thither; and her curiosity to know what he had to', '']
['tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner', '']
['connected with the letter he held. It suddenly struck her that it', '']
['might be from Lady Catherine; and she anticipated with dismay all the', '']
['consequent explanations.', '']
['She followed her father to the fire place, and they both sat down. He', '']
['then said,', '']
['"I have received a letter this morning that has astonished me', '']
['exceedingly. As it principally concerns yourself, you ought to know its', '']
['contents. I did not know before, that I had two daughters on the brink', '']
['of matrimony. Let me congratulate you on a very important conquest."', '']
["The colour now rushed into Elizabeth's cheeks in the instantaneous", '']
['conviction of its being a letter from the nephew, instead of the aunt;', '']
['and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained', '']
['himself at all, or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to', '']
['herself; when her father continued:', '']
['"You look conscious. Young ladies have great penetration in such matters', '']
['as these; but I think I may defy even _your_ sagacity, to discover the', '']
['name of your admirer. This letter is from Mr. Collins."', '']
['"From Mr. Collins! and what can _he_ have to say?"', '']
['"Something very much to the purpose of course. He begins with', '']
['congratulations on the approaching nuptials of my eldest daughter, of', '']
['which, it seems, he has been told by some of the good-natured, gossiping', '']
['Lucases. I shall not sport with your impatience, by reading what he says', '']
["on that point. What relates to yourself, is as follows: 'Having thus", '']
['offered you the sincere congratulations of Mrs. Collins and myself on', '']
['this happy event, let me now add a short hint on the subject of another;', '']
['of which we have been advertised by the same authority. Your daughter', '']
['Elizabeth, it is presumed, will not long bear the name of Bennet, after', '']
['her elder sister has resigned it, and the chosen partner of her fate may', '']
['be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in', '']

['"Can you possibly guess, Lizzy, who is meant by this? \'This young', '']
['gentleman is blessed, in a peculiar way, with every thing the heart of', '']
['mortal can most desire,--splendid property, noble kindred, and extensive', '']
['patronage. Yet in spite of all these temptations, let me warn my cousin', '']
['Elizabeth, and yourself, of what evils you may incur by a precipitate', '']
["closure with this gentleman's proposals, which, of course, you will be", '']
["inclined to take immediate advantage of.'", '']
['"Have you any idea, Lizzy, who this gentleman is? But now it comes out:', '']
['"\'My motive for cautioning you is as follows. We have reason to imagine', '']
['that his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does not look on the match with', '']
["a friendly eye.'", '']
['"_Mr. Darcy_, you see, is the man! Now, Lizzy, I think I _have_', '']
['surprised you. Could he, or the Lucases, have pitched on any man within', '']
['the circle of our acquaintance, whose name would have given the lie', '']
['more effectually to what they related? Mr. Darcy, who never looks at any', '']
['woman but to see a blemish, and who probably never looked at you in his', '']
['life! It is admirable!"', '']
["Elizabeth tried to join in her father's pleasantry, but could only force", '']
['one most reluctant smile. Never had his wit been directed in a manner so', '']
['little agreeable to her.', '']

['"Oh! yes. Pray read on."', '']
['"\'After mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last', '']
['night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she', '']
['felt on the occasion; when it became apparent, that on the score of some', '']
['family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her', '']
['consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. I thought it my duty', '']
['to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and', '']
['her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run', '']
["hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned.' Mr.", '']
["Collins moreover adds, 'I am truly rejoiced that my cousin Lydia's sad", '']
['business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their', '']
['living together before the marriage took place should be so generally', '']
['known. I must not, however, neglect the duties of my station, or refrain', '']
['from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young', '']
['couple into your house as soon as they were married. It was an', '']
['encouragement of vice; and had I been the rector of Longbourn, I should', '']
['very strenuously have opposed it. You ought certainly to forgive them,', '']
['as a Christian, but never to admit them in your sight, or allow their', '']
["names to be mentioned in your hearing.' That is his notion of Christian", '']
["forgiveness! The rest of his letter is only about his dear Charlotte's", '']
['situation, and his expectation of a young olive-branch. But, Lizzy, you', '']
['look as if you did not enjoy it. You are not going to be _missish_,', '']
['I hope, and pretend to be affronted at an idle report. For what do we', '']
['live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our', '']
['turn?"', '']
['"Oh!" cried Elizabeth, "I am excessively diverted. But it is so', '']
['strange!"', '']
['"Yes--_that_ is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man', '']
['it would have been nothing; but _his_ perfect indifference, and _your_', '']
['pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd! Much as I abominate', '']
["writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any", '']
['consideration. Nay, when I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving', '']
['him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and', '']
['hypocrisy of my son-in-law. And pray, Lizzy, what said Lady Catherine', '']
['about this report? Did she call to refuse her consent?"', '']
['To this question his daughter replied only with a laugh; and as it had', '']
['been asked without the least suspicion, she was not distressed by', '']
['his repeating it. Elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her', '']
['feelings appear what they were not. It was necessary to laugh, when she', '']
['would rather have cried. Her father had most cruelly mortified her, by', '']
["what he said of Mr. Darcy's indifference, and she could do nothing but", '']
['wonder at such a want of penetration, or fear that perhaps, instead of', '']
['his seeing too little, she might have fancied too much.', '']
['Chapter 58', '']
['Instead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend, as', '']
['Elizabeth half expected Mr. Bingley to do, he was able to bring Darcy', '']
["with him to Longbourn before many days had passed after Lady Catherine's", '']
['visit. The gentlemen arrived early; and, before Mrs. Bennet had time', '']
['to tell him of their having seen his aunt, of which her daughter sat', '']
['in momentary dread, Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane, proposed', '']
['their all walking out. It was agreed to. Mrs. Bennet was not in the', '']
['habit of walking; Mary could never spare time; but the remaining five', '']
['set off together. Bingley and Jane, however, soon allowed the others', '']
['to outstrip them. They lagged behind, while Elizabeth, Kitty, and Darcy', '']
['were to entertain each other. Very little was said by either; Kitty', '']
['was too much afraid of him to talk; Elizabeth was secretly forming a', '']
['desperate resolution; and perhaps he might be doing the same.', '']
['They walked towards the Lucases, because Kitty wished to call upon', '']
['Maria; and as Elizabeth saw no occasion for making it a general concern,', '']
['when Kitty left them she went boldly on with him alone. Now was the', '']
['moment for her resolution to be executed, and, while her courage was', '']
['high, she immediately said:', '']
['"Mr. Darcy, I am a very selfish creature; and, for the sake of giving', '']
['relief to my own feelings, care not how much I may be wounding yours. I', '']
['can no longer help thanking you for your unexampled kindness to my', '']
['poor sister. Ever since I have known it, I have been most anxious to', '']
['acknowledge to you how gratefully I feel it. Were it known to the rest', '']
['of my family, I should not have merely my own gratitude to express."', '']
['"I am sorry, exceedingly sorry," replied Darcy, in a tone of surprise', '']
['and emotion, "that you have ever been informed of what may, in a', '']
['mistaken light, have given you uneasiness. I did not think Mrs. Gardiner', '']
['was so little to be trusted."', '']
['"You must not blame my aunt. Lydia\'s thoughtlessness first betrayed to', '']
['me that you had been concerned in the matter; and, of course, I could', '']
['not rest till I knew the particulars. Let me thank you again and again,', '']
['in the name of all my family, for that generous compassion which induced', '']
['you to take so much trouble, and bear so many mortifications, for the', '']
['sake of discovering them."', '']
['"If you _will_ thank me," he replied, "let it be for yourself alone.', '']
['That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other', '']
['inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your', '']
['_family_ owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought', '']
['only of _you_."', '']
['Elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word. After a short pause,', '']
['her companion added, "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your', '']
['feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. _My_', '']
['affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence', '']
['me on this subject for ever."', '']
['Elizabeth, feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of', '']
['his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not', '']
['very fluently, gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone', '']
['so material a change, since the period to which he alluded, as to make', '']
['her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances. The', '']
['happiness which this reply produced, was such as he had probably never', '']
['felt before; and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly and as', '']
['warmly as a man violently in love can be supposed to do. Had Elizabeth', '']
['been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the', '']
['expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him;', '']
['but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of', '']
['feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his', '']
['affection every moment more valuable.', '']
['They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to', '']
['be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects. She', '']
['soon learnt that they were indebted for their present good understanding', '']
['to the efforts of his aunt, who did call on him in her return through', '']
['London, and there relate her journey to Longbourn, its motive, and the', '']
['substance of her conversation with Elizabeth; dwelling emphatically on', '']
["every expression of the latter which, in her ladyship's apprehension,", '']
['peculiarly denoted her perverseness and assurance; in the belief that', '']
['such a relation must assist her endeavours to obtain that promise', '']
['from her nephew which she had refused to give. But, unluckily for her', '']
['ladyship, its effect had been exactly contrariwise.', '']
['"It taught me to hope," said he, "as I had scarcely ever allowed myself', '']
['to hope before. I knew enough of your disposition to be certain that,', '']
['had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have', '']
['acknowledged it to Lady Catherine, frankly and openly."', '']
['Elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied, "Yes, you know enough', '']
['of my frankness to believe me capable of _that_. After abusing you so', '']
['abominably to your face, I could have no scruple in abusing you to all', '']
['your relations."', '']
['"What did you say of me, that I did not deserve? For, though your', '']
['accusations were ill-founded, formed on mistaken premises, my', '']
['behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof. It was', '']
['unpardonable. I cannot think of it without abhorrence."', '']
['"We will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that', '']
['evening," said Elizabeth. "The conduct of neither, if strictly examined,', '']
['will be irreproachable; but since then, we have both, I hope, improved', '']
['in civility."', '']
['"I cannot be so easily reconciled to myself. The recollection of what I', '']
['then said, of my conduct, my manners, my expressions during the whole of', '']
['it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful to me. Your', '']
["reproof, so well applied, I shall never forget: 'had you behaved in a", '']
["more gentlemanlike manner.' Those were your words. You know not, you can", '']
['scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me;--though it was some time,', '']
['I confess, before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice."', '']
['"I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an', '']
['impression. I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such', '']
['a way."', '']
['"I can easily believe it. You thought me then devoid of every proper', '']
['feeling, I am sure you did. The turn of your countenance I shall never', '']
['forget, as you said that I could not have addressed you in any possible', '']
['way that would induce you to accept me."', '']
['"Oh! do not repeat what I then said. These recollections will not do at', '']
['all. I assure you that I have long been most heartily ashamed of it."', '']
['Darcy mentioned his letter. "Did it," said he, "did it soon make you', '']
['think better of me? Did you, on reading it, give any credit to its', '']
['contents?"', '']
['She explained what its effect on her had been, and how gradually all her', '']
['former prejudices had been removed.', '']
['"I knew," said he, "that what I wrote must give you pain, but it was', '']
['necessary. I hope you have destroyed the letter. There was one part', '']
['especially, the opening of it, which I should dread your having the', '']
['power of reading again. I can remember some expressions which might', '']
['justly make you hate me."', '']
['"The letter shall certainly be burnt, if you believe it essential to the', '']
['preservation of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my', '']
['opinions not entirely unalterable, they are not, I hope, quite so easily', '']
['changed as that implies."', '']
['"When I wrote that letter," replied Darcy, "I believed myself perfectly', '']
['calm and cool, but I am since convinced that it was written in a', '']
['dreadful bitterness of spirit."', '']
['"The letter, perhaps, began in bitterness, but it did not end so. The', '']
['adieu is charity itself. But think no more of the letter. The feelings', '']
['of the person who wrote, and the person who received it, are now', '']
['so widely different from what they were then, that every unpleasant', '']
['circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten. You must learn some', '']
['of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you', '']
['pleasure."', '']
['"I cannot give you credit for any philosophy of the kind. Your', '']
['retrospections must be so totally void of reproach, that the contentment', '']
['arising from them is not of philosophy, but, what is much better, of', '']
['innocence. But with me, it is not so. Painful recollections will intrude', '']
['which cannot, which ought not, to be repelled. I have been a selfish', '']
['being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I', '']
['was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I', '']
['was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.', '']
['Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt', '']
['by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all', '']
['that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught', '']
['me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family', '']
['circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least', '']
['to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I', '']
['was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been', '']
['but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You', '']
['taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you,', '']
['I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception.', '']
['You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman', '']
['worthy of being pleased."', '']
['"Had you then persuaded yourself that I should?"', '']
['"Indeed I had. What will you think of my vanity? I believed you to be', '']
['wishing, expecting my addresses."', '']
['"My manners must have been in fault, but not intentionally, I assure', '']
['you. I never meant to deceive you, but my spirits might often lead me', '']
['wrong. How you must have hated me after _that_ evening?"', '']
['"Hate you! I was angry perhaps at first, but my anger soon began to take', '']
['a proper direction."', '']
['"I am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me, when we met at', '']
['Pemberley. You blamed me for coming?"', '']
['"No indeed; I felt nothing but surprise."', '']
['"Your surprise could not be greater than _mine_ in being noticed by you.', '']
['My conscience told me that I deserved no extraordinary politeness, and I', '']
['confess that I did not expect to receive _more_ than my due."', '']
['"My object then," replied Darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in', '']
['my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to', '']
['obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you', '']
['see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes', '']
['introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an', '']
['hour after I had seen you."', '']
["He then told her of Georgiana's delight in her acquaintance, and of her", '']
['disappointment at its sudden interruption; which naturally leading to', '']
['the cause of that interruption, she soon learnt that his resolution of', '']
['following her from Derbyshire in quest of her sister had been formed', '']
['before he quitted the inn, and that his gravity and thoughtfulness', '']
['there had arisen from no other struggles than what such a purpose must', '']
['comprehend.', '']
['She expressed her gratitude again, but it was too painful a subject to', '']
['each, to be dwelt on farther.', '']
['After walking several miles in a leisurely manner, and too busy to know', '']
['anything about it, they found at last, on examining their watches, that', '']
['it was time to be at home.', '']
['"What could become of Mr. Bingley and Jane!" was a wonder which', '']
['introduced the discussion of their affairs. Darcy was delighted with', '']
['their engagement; his friend had given him the earliest information of', '']
['it.', '']
['"I must ask whether you were surprised?" said Elizabeth.', '']
['"Not at all. When I went away, I felt that it would soon happen."', '']
['"That is to say, you had given your permission. I guessed as much." And', '']
['though he exclaimed at the term, she found that it had been pretty much', '']
['the case.', '']
['"On the evening before my going to London," said he, "I made a', '']
['confession to him, which I believe I ought to have made long ago. I', '']
['told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference in his', '']
['affairs absurd and impertinent. His surprise was great. He had never had', '']
['the slightest suspicion. I told him, moreover, that I believed myself', '']
['mistaken in supposing, as I had done, that your sister was indifferent', '']
['to him; and as I could easily perceive that his attachment to her was', '']
['unabated, I felt no doubt of their happiness together."', '']
['Elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing his', '']
['friend.', '']
['"Did you speak from your own observation," said she, "when you told him', '']
['that my sister loved him, or merely from my information last spring?"', '']
['"From the former. I had narrowly observed her during the two visits', '']
['which I had lately made here; and I was convinced of her affection."', '']
['"And your assurance of it, I suppose, carried immediate conviction to', '']
['him."', '']
['"It did. Bingley is most unaffectedly modest. His diffidence had', '']
['prevented his depending on his own judgment in so anxious a case, but', '']
['his reliance on mine made every thing easy. I was obliged to confess', '']
['one thing, which for a time, and not unjustly, offended him. I could not', '']
['allow myself to conceal that your sister had been in town three months', '']
['last winter, that I had known it, and purposely kept it from him. He was', '']
['angry. But his anger, I am persuaded, lasted no longer than he remained', '']
["in any doubt of your sister's sentiments. He has heartily forgiven me", '']
['now."', '']
['Elizabeth longed to observe that Mr. Bingley had been a most delightful', '']
['friend; so easily guided that his worth was invaluable; but she checked', '']
['herself. She remembered that he had yet to learn to be laughed at,', '']
['and it was rather too early to begin. In anticipating the happiness', '']
['of Bingley, which of course was to be inferior only to his own, he', '']
['continued the conversation till they reached the house. In the hall they', '']
['parted.', '']
['Chapter 59', '']
['"My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?" was a question', '']
['which Elizabeth received from Jane as soon as she entered their room,', '']
['and from all the others when they sat down to table. She had only to', '']
['say in reply, that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her own', '']
['knowledge. She coloured as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything', '']
['else, awakened a suspicion of the truth.', '']
['The evening passed quietly, unmarked by anything extraordinary. The', '']
['acknowledged lovers talked and laughed, the unacknowledged were silent.', '']
['Darcy was not of a disposition in which happiness overflows in mirth;', '']
['and Elizabeth, agitated and confused, rather _knew_ that she was happy', '']
['than _felt_ herself to be so; for, besides the immediate embarrassment,', '']
['there were other evils before her. She anticipated what would be felt', '']
['in the family when her situation became known; she was aware that no', '']
['one liked him but Jane; and even feared that with the others it was a', '']
['dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away.', '']
['At night she opened her heart to Jane. Though suspicion was very far', '']
["from Miss Bennet's general habits, she was absolutely incredulous here.", '']
['"You are joking, Lizzy. This cannot be!--engaged to Mr. Darcy! No, no,', '']
['you shall not deceive me. I know it to be impossible."', '']
['"This is a wretched beginning indeed! My sole dependence was on you; and', '']
['I am sure nobody else will believe me, if you do not. Yet, indeed, I am', '']
['in earnest. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves me, and we are', '']
['engaged."', '']
['Jane looked at her doubtingly. "Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much', '']
['you dislike him."', '']
['"You know nothing of the matter. _That_ is all to be forgot. Perhaps I', '']
['did not always love him so well as I do now. But in such cases as', '']
['these, a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever', '']
['remember it myself."', '']
['Miss Bennet still looked all amazement. Elizabeth again, and more', '']
['seriously assured her of its truth.', '']
['"Good Heaven! can it be really so! Yet now I must believe you," cried', '']
['Jane. "My dear, dear Lizzy, I would--I do congratulate you--but are you', '']
['certain? forgive the question--are you quite certain that you can be', '']
['happy with him?"', '']
['"There can be no doubt of that. It is settled between us already, that', '']
['we are to be the happiest couple in the world. But are you pleased,', '']
['Jane? Shall you like to have such a brother?"', '']
['"Very, very much. Nothing could give either Bingley or myself more', '']
['delight. But we considered it, we talked of it as impossible. And do you', '']
['really love him quite well enough? Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than', '']
['marry without affection. Are you quite sure that you feel what you ought', '']
['to do?"', '']
['"Oh, yes! You will only think I feel _more_ than I ought to do, when I', '']
['tell you all."', '']
['"What do you mean?"', '']
['"Why, I must confess that I love him better than I do Bingley. I am', '']
['afraid you will be angry."', '']
['"My dearest sister, now _be_ serious. I want to talk very seriously. Let', '']
['me know every thing that I am to know, without delay. Will you tell me', '']
['how long you have loved him?"', '']
['"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began.', '']
['But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds', '']
['at Pemberley."', '']
['Another entreaty that she would be serious, however, produced the', '']
['desired effect; and she soon satisfied Jane by her solemn assurances', '']
['of attachment. When convinced on that article, Miss Bennet had nothing', '']
['further to wish.', '']
['"Now I am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself.', '']
['I always had a value for him. Were it for nothing but his love of you,', '']
["I must always have esteemed him; but now, as Bingley's friend and your", '']
['husband, there can be only Bingley and yourself more dear to me. But', '']
['Lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved with me. How little did you', '']
['tell me of what passed at Pemberley and Lambton! I owe all that I know', '']
['of it to another, not to you."', '']
['Elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy. She had been unwilling', '']
['to mention Bingley; and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made', '']
['her equally avoid the name of his friend. But now she would no longer', '']
["conceal from her his share in Lydia's marriage. All was acknowledged,", '']
['and half the night spent in conversation.', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
['"Good gracious!" cried Mrs. Bennet, as she stood at a window the next', '']
['morning, "if that disagreeable Mr. Darcy is not coming here again with', '']
['our dear Bingley! What can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always', '']
['coming here? I had no notion but he would go a-shooting, or something or', '']
['other, and not disturb us with his company. What shall we do with him?', '']
["Lizzy, you must walk out with him again, that he may not be in Bingley's", '']
['way."', '']
['Elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal; yet', '']
['was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an', '']
['epithet.', '']
['As soon as they entered, Bingley looked at her so expressively, and', '']
['shook hands with such warmth, as left no doubt of his good information;', '']
['and he soon afterwards said aloud, "Mrs. Bennet, have you no more lanes', '']
['hereabouts in which Lizzy may lose her way again to-day?"', '']
['"I advise Mr. Darcy, and Lizzy, and Kitty," said Mrs. Bennet, "to walk', '']
['to Oakham Mount this morning. It is a nice long walk, and Mr. Darcy has', '']
['never seen the view."', '']
['"It may do very well for the others," replied Mr. Bingley; "but I am', '']
['sure it will be too much for Kitty. Won\'t it, Kitty?" Kitty owned that', '']
['she had rather stay at home. Darcy professed a great curiosity to see', '']
['the view from the Mount, and Elizabeth silently consented. As she went', '']
['up stairs to get ready, Mrs. Bennet followed her, saying:', '']
['"I am quite sorry, Lizzy, that you should be forced to have that', '']
['disagreeable man all to yourself. But I hope you will not mind it: it is', '']
["all for Jane's sake, you know; and there is no occasion for talking", '']
['to him, except just now and then. So, do not put yourself to', '']
['inconvenience."', '']
["During their walk, it was resolved that Mr. Bennet's consent should be", '']
['asked in the course of the evening. Elizabeth reserved to herself the', '']
["application for her mother's. She could not determine how her mother", '']
['would take it; sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur', '']
['would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man. But whether she', '']
['were violently set against the match, or violently delighted with it, it', '']
['was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit', '']
['to her sense; and she could no more bear that Mr. Darcy should hear', '']
['the first raptures of her joy, than the first vehemence of her', '']
['disapprobation.', '']
['                          * * * * *', '']
['In the evening, soon after Mr. Bennet withdrew to the library, she saw', '']
['Mr. Darcy rise also and follow him, and her agitation on seeing it was', '']
["extreme. She did not fear her father's opposition, but he was going to", '']
['be made unhappy; and that it should be through her means--that _she_,', '']
['his favourite child, should be distressing him by her choice, should be', '']
['filling him with fears and regrets in disposing of her--was a wretched', '']
['reflection, and she sat in misery till Mr. Darcy appeared again, when,', '']
['looking at him, she was a little relieved by his smile. In a few minutes', '']
['he approached the table where she was sitting with Kitty; and, while', '']
['pretending to admire her work said in a whisper, "Go to your father, he', '']
['wants you in the library." She was gone directly.', '']
['Her father was walking about the room, looking grave and anxious.', '']
['"Lizzy," said he, "what are you doing? Are you out of your senses, to be', '']
['accepting this man? Have not you always hated him?"', '']
['How earnestly did she then wish that her former opinions had been more', '']
['reasonable, her expressions more moderate! It would have spared her from', '']
['explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give;', '']
['but they were now necessary, and she assured him, with some confusion,', '']
['of her attachment to Mr. Darcy.', '']
['"Or, in other words, you are determined to have him. He is rich, to be', '']
['sure, and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than Jane.', '']
['But will they make you happy?"', '']
['"Have you any other objection," said Elizabeth, "than your belief of my', '']
['indifference?"', '']
['"None at all. We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but', '']
['this would be nothing if you really liked him."', '']
['"I do, I do like him," she replied, with tears in her eyes, "I love him.', '']
['Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not', '']
['know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in', '']
['such terms."', '']
['"Lizzy," said her father, "I have given him my consent. He is the kind', '']
['of man, indeed, to whom I should never dare refuse anything, which he', '']
['condescended to ask. I now give it to _you_, if you are resolved on', '']
['having him. But let me advise you to think better of it. I know', '']
['your disposition, Lizzy. I know that you could be neither happy nor', '']
['respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband; unless you looked', '']
['up to him as a superior. Your lively talents would place you in the', '']
['greatest danger in an unequal marriage. You could scarcely escape', '']
['discredit and misery. My child, let me not have the grief of seeing', '']
['_you_ unable to respect your partner in life. You know not what you are', '']
['about."', '']
['Elizabeth, still more affected, was earnest and solemn in her reply; and', '']
['at length, by repeated assurances that Mr. Darcy was really the object', '']
['of her choice, by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of', '']
['him had undergone, relating her absolute certainty that his affection', '']
["was not the work of a day, but had stood the test of many months'", '']
['suspense, and enumerating with energy all his good qualities, she did', '']
["conquer her father's incredulity, and reconcile him to the match.", '']
['"Well, my dear," said he, when she ceased speaking, "I have no more to', '']
['say. If this be the case, he deserves you. I could not have parted with', '']
['you, my Lizzy, to anyone less worthy."', '']
['To complete the favourable impression, she then told him what Mr. Darcy', '']
['had voluntarily done for Lydia. He heard her with astonishment.', '']
['"This is an evening of wonders, indeed! And so, Darcy did every thing;', '']
["made up the match, gave the money, paid the fellow's debts, and got him", '']
['his commission! So much the better. It will save me a world of trouble', '']
["and economy. Had it been your uncle's doing, I must and _would_ have", '']
['paid him; but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own', '']
['way. I shall offer to pay him to-morrow; he will rant and storm about', '']
['his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter."', '']
['He then recollected her embarrassment a few days before, on his reading', '']
["Mr. Collins's letter; and after laughing at her some time, allowed her", '']
['at last to go--saying, as she quitted the room, "If any young men come', '']
['for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at leisure."', '']
["Elizabeth's mind was now relieved from a very heavy weight; and, after", '']
["half an hour's quiet reflection in her own room, she was able to join", '']
['the others with tolerable composure. Every thing was too recent for', '']
['gaiety, but the evening passed tranquilly away; there was no longer', '']
['anything material to be dreaded, and the comfort of ease and familiarity', '']
['would come in time.', '']
['When her mother went up to her dressing-room at night, she followed her,', '']
['and made the important communication. Its effect was most extraordinary;', '']
['for on first hearing it, Mrs. Bennet sat quite still, and unable to', '']
['utter a syllable. Nor was it under many, many minutes that she could', '']
['comprehend what she heard; though not in general backward to credit', '']
['what was for the advantage of her family, or that came in the shape of a', '']
['lover to any of them. She began at length to recover, to fidget about in', '']
['her chair, get up, sit down again, wonder, and bless herself.', '']
['"Good gracious! Lord bless me! only think! dear me! Mr. Darcy! Who would', '']
['have thought it! And is it really true? Oh! my sweetest Lizzy! how rich', '']
['and how great you will be! What pin-money, what jewels, what carriages', '']
["you will have! Jane's is nothing to it--nothing at all. I am so", '']
['pleased--so happy. Such a charming man!--so handsome! so tall!--Oh, my', '']
['dear Lizzy! pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before. I', '']
['hope he will overlook it. Dear, dear Lizzy. A house in town! Every thing', '']
['that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten thousand a year! Oh,', '']
['Lord! What will become of me. I shall go distracted."', '']
['This was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted: and', '']
['Elizabeth, rejoicing that such an effusion was heard only by herself,', '']
['soon went away. But before she had been three minutes in her own room,', '']
['her mother followed her.', '']
['"My dearest child," she cried, "I can think of nothing else! Ten', '']
["thousand a year, and very likely more! 'Tis as good as a Lord! And a", '']
['special licence. You must and shall be married by a special licence. But', '']
['my dearest love, tell me what dish Mr. Darcy is particularly fond of,', '']
['that I may have it to-morrow."', '']
["This was a sad omen of what her mother's behaviour to the gentleman", '']
['himself might be; and Elizabeth found that, though in the certain', '']
["possession of his warmest affection, and secure of her relations'", '']
['consent, there was still something to be wished for. But the morrow', '']
['passed off much better than she expected; for Mrs. Bennet luckily stood', '']
['in such awe of her intended son-in-law that she ventured not to speak to', '']
['him, unless it was in her power to offer him any attention, or mark her', '']
['deference for his opinion.', '']
['Elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get', '']
['acquainted with him; and Mr. Bennet soon assured her that he was rising', '']
['every hour in his esteem.', '']
['"I admire all my three sons-in-law highly," said he. "Wickham, perhaps,', '']
['is my favourite; but I think I shall like _your_ husband quite as well', '']
['as Jane\'s."', '']
['Chapter 60', '']
["Elizabeth's spirits soon rising to playfulness again, she wanted Mr.", '']
['Darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her. "How could', '']
['you begin?" said she. "I can comprehend your going on charmingly, when', '']
['you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first', '']
['place?"', '']
['"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which', '']
['laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I', '']
['knew that I _had_ begun."', '']
['"My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners--my behaviour', '']
['to _you_ was at least always bordering on the uncivil, and I never spoke', '']
['to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not. Now be sincere;', '']
['did you admire me for my impertinence?"', '']
['"For the liveliness of your mind, I did."', '']
['"You may as well call it impertinence at once. It was very little less.', '']
['The fact is, that you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious', '']
['attention. You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking,', '']
['and looking, and thinking for _your_ approbation alone. I roused, and', '']
['interested you, because I was so unlike _them_. Had you not been really', '']
['amiable, you would have hated me for it; but in spite of the pains you', '']
['took to disguise yourself, your feelings were always noble and just; and', '']
['in your heart, you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously', '']
['courted you. There--I have saved you the trouble of accounting for', '']
['it; and really, all things considered, I begin to think it perfectly', '']
['reasonable. To be sure, you knew no actual good of me--but nobody thinks', '']
['of _that_ when they fall in love."', '']
['"Was there no good in your affectionate behaviour to Jane while she was', '']
['ill at Netherfield?"', '']
['"Dearest Jane! who could have done less for her? But make a virtue of it', '']
['by all means. My good qualities are under your protection, and you are', '']
['to exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me', '']
['to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may', '']
['be; and I shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling', '']
['to come to the point at last. What made you so shy of me, when you first', '']
['called, and afterwards dined here? Why, especially, when you called, did', '']
['you look as if you did not care about me?"', '']
['"Because you were grave and silent, and gave me no encouragement."', '']
['"But I was embarrassed."', '']
['"And so was I."', '']
['"You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."', '']
['"A man who had felt less, might."', '']
['"How unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give, and that', '']
['I should be so reasonable as to admit it! But I wonder how long you', '']
['_would_ have gone on, if you had been left to yourself. I wonder when', '']
['you _would_ have spoken, if I had not asked you! My resolution of', '']
['thanking you for your kindness to Lydia had certainly great effect.', '']
['_Too much_, I am afraid; for what becomes of the moral, if our comfort', '']
['springs from a breach of promise? for I ought not to have mentioned the', '']
['subject. This will never do."', '']
['"You need not distress yourself. The moral will be perfectly fair. Lady', '']
["Catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of", '']
['removing all my doubts. I am not indebted for my present happiness to', '']
['your eager desire of expressing your gratitude. I was not in a humour', '']
["to wait for any opening of yours. My aunt's intelligence had given me", '']
['hope, and I was determined at once to know every thing."', '']
['"Lady Catherine has been of infinite use, which ought to make her happy,', '']
['for she loves to be of use. But tell me, what did you come down to', '']
['Netherfield for? Was it merely to ride to Longbourn and be embarrassed?', '']
['or had you intended any more serious consequence?"', '']
['"My real purpose was to see _you_, and to judge, if I could, whether I', '']
['might ever hope to make you love me. My avowed one, or what I avowed to', '']
['myself, was to see whether your sister were still partial to Bingley,', '']
['and if she were, to make the confession to him which I have since made."', '']
['"Shall you ever have courage to announce to Lady Catherine what is to', '']
['befall her?"', '']
['"I am more likely to want more time than courage, Elizabeth. But it', '']
['ought to be done, and if you will give me a sheet of paper, it shall be', '']
['done directly."', '']
['"And if I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you and', '']
['admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But', '']
['I have an aunt, too, who must not be longer neglected."', '']
['From an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with Mr. Darcy', '']
["had been over-rated, Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs. Gardiner's", '']
['long letter; but now, having _that_ to communicate which she knew would', '']
['be most welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and', '']
['aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and immediately wrote as', '']
['follows:', '']
['"I would have thanked you before, my dear aunt, as I ought to have done,', '']
['for your long, kind, satisfactory, detail of particulars; but to say the', '']
['truth, I was too cross to write. You supposed more than really existed.', '']
['But _now_ suppose as much as you choose; give a loose rein to your', '']
['fancy, indulge your imagination in every possible flight which the', '']
['subject will afford, and unless you believe me actually married, you', '']
['cannot greatly err. You must write again very soon, and praise him a', '']
['great deal more than you did in your last. I thank you, again and again,', '']
['for not going to the Lakes. How could I be so silly as to wish it! Your', '']
['idea of the ponies is delightful. We will go round the Park every day. I', '']
['am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so', '']
['before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she', '']
['only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world that', '']
['he can spare from me. You are all to come to Pemberley at Christmas.', '']
['Yours, etc."', '']
["Mr. Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style; and still", '']
['different from either was what Mr. Bennet sent to Mr. Collins, in reply', '']
['to his last.', '']
['"DEAR SIR,', '']
['"I must trouble you once more for congratulations. Elizabeth will soon', '']
['be the wife of Mr. Darcy. Console Lady Catherine as well as you can.', '']
['But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give.', '']
['"Yours sincerely, etc."', '']
["Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching", '']
['marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere. She wrote even', '']
['to Jane on the occasion, to express her delight, and repeat all her', '']
['former professions of regard. Jane was not deceived, but she was', '']
['affected; and though feeling no reliance on her, could not help writing', '']
['her a much kinder answer than she knew was deserved.', '']
['The joy which Miss Darcy expressed on receiving similar information,', '']
["was as sincere as her brother's in sending it. Four sides of paper were", '']
['insufficient to contain all her delight, and all her earnest desire of', '']
['being loved by her sister.', '']
['Before any answer could arrive from Mr. Collins, or any congratulations', '']
['to Elizabeth from his wife, the Longbourn family heard that the', '']
['Collinses were come themselves to Lucas Lodge. The reason of this', '']
['sudden removal was soon evident. Lady Catherine had been rendered', '']
["so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephew's letter, that", '']
['Charlotte, really rejoicing in the match, was anxious to get away till', '']
['the storm was blown over. At such a moment, the arrival of her friend', '']
['was a sincere pleasure to Elizabeth, though in the course of their', '']
['meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought, when she', '']
['saw Mr. Darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of', '']
['her husband. He bore it, however, with admirable calmness. He could even', '']
['listen to Sir William Lucas, when he complimented him on carrying away', '']
['the brightest jewel of the country, and expressed his hopes of their all', '']
["meeting frequently at St. James's, with very decent composure. If he did", '']
['shrug his shoulders, it was not till Sir William was out of sight.', '']
["Mrs. Phillips's vulgarity was another, and perhaps a greater, tax on his", '']
['forbearance; and though Mrs. Phillips, as well as her sister, stood in', '']
["too much awe of him to speak with the familiarity which Bingley's good", '']
['humour encouraged, yet, whenever she _did_ speak, she must be vulgar.', '']
['Nor was her respect for him, though it made her more quiet, at all', '']
['likely to make her more elegant. Elizabeth did all she could to shield', '']
['him from the frequent notice of either, and was ever anxious to keep', '']
['him to herself, and to those of her family with whom he might converse', '']
['without mortification; and though the uncomfortable feelings arising', '']
['from all this took from the season of courtship much of its pleasure, it', '']
['added to the hope of the future; and she looked forward with delight to', '']
['the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing', '']
['to either, to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at', '']
['Pemberley.', '']
['Chapter 61', '']
['Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got', '']
['rid of her two most deserving daughters. With what delighted pride', '']
['she afterwards visited Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may', '']
['be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, that the', '']
['accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many', '']
['of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible,', '']
['amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it', '']
['was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity', '']
['in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and', '']
['invariably silly.', '']
['Mr. Bennet missed his second daughter exceedingly; his affection for her', '']
['drew him oftener from home than anything else could do. He delighted in', '']
['going to Pemberley, especially when he was least expected.', '']
['Mr. Bingley and Jane remained at Netherfield only a twelvemonth. So near', '']
['a vicinity to her mother and Meryton relations was not desirable even to', '']
['_his_ easy temper, or _her_ affectionate heart. The darling wish of his', '']
['sisters was then gratified; he bought an estate in a neighbouring county', '']
['to Derbyshire, and Jane and Elizabeth, in addition to every other source', '']
['of happiness, were within thirty miles of each other.', '']
['Kitty, to her very material advantage, spent the chief of her time with', '']
['her two elder sisters. In society so superior to what she had generally', '']
['known, her improvement was great. She was not of so ungovernable a', '']
["temper as Lydia; and, removed from the influence of Lydia's example,", '']
['she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less', '']
["ignorant, and less insipid. From the further disadvantage of Lydia's", '']
['society she was of course carefully kept, and though Mrs. Wickham', '']
['frequently invited her to come and stay with her, with the promise of', '']
['balls and young men, her father would never consent to her going.', '']
['Mary was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily', '']
["drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by Mrs. Bennet's being quite", '']
['unable to sit alone. Mary was obliged to mix more with the world, but', '']
['she could still moralize over every morning visit; and as she was no', '']
["longer mortified by comparisons between her sisters' beauty and her own,", '']
['it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without', '']
['much reluctance.', '']
['As for Wickham and Lydia, their characters suffered no revolution from', '']
['the marriage of her sisters. He bore with philosophy the conviction that', '']
['Elizabeth must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude', '']
['and falsehood had before been unknown to her; and in spite of every', '']
['thing, was not wholly without hope that Darcy might yet be prevailed on', '']
['to make his fortune. The congratulatory letter which Elizabeth received', '']
['from Lydia on her marriage, explained to her that, by his wife at least,', '']
['if not by himself, such a hope was cherished. The letter was to this', '']
['effect:', '']
['"MY DEAR LIZZY,', '']
['"I wish you joy. If you love Mr. Darcy half as well as I do my dear', '']
['Wickham, you must be very happy. It is a great comfort to have you so', '']
['rich, and when you have nothing else to do, I hope you will think of us.', '']
['I am sure Wickham would like a place at court very much, and I do not', '']
['think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help.', '']
['Any place would do, of about three or four hundred a year; but however,', '']
['do not speak to Mr. Darcy about it, if you had rather not.', '']
['"Yours, etc."', '']
['As it happened that Elizabeth had _much_ rather not, she endeavoured in', '']
['her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind.', '']
['Such relief, however, as it was in her power to afford, by the practice', '']
['of what might be called economy in her own private expences, she', '']
['frequently sent them. It had always been evident to her that such an', '']
['income as theirs, under the direction of two persons so extravagant in', '']
['their wants, and heedless of the future, must be very insufficient to', '']
['their support; and whenever they changed their quarters, either Jane or', '']
['herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance', '']
['towards discharging their bills. Their manner of living, even when the', '']
['restoration of peace dismissed them to a home, was unsettled in the', '']
['extreme. They were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap', '']
['situation, and always spending more than they ought. His affection for', '']
['her soon sunk into indifference; hers lasted a little longer; and', '']
['in spite of her youth and her manners, she retained all the claims to', '']
['reputation which her marriage had given her.', '']
['Though Darcy could never receive _him_ at Pemberley, yet, for', '']
["Elizabeth's sake, he assisted him further in his profession. Lydia was", '']
['occasionally a visitor there, when her husband was gone to enjoy himself', '']
['in London or Bath; and with the Bingleys they both of them frequently', '']
["staid so long, that even Bingley's good humour was overcome, and he", '']
['proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.', '']
["Miss Bingley was very deeply mortified by Darcy's marriage; but as she", '']
['thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at Pemberley, she', '']
['dropt all her resentment; was fonder than ever of Georgiana, almost as', '']
['attentive to Darcy as heretofore, and paid off every arrear of civility', '']
['to Elizabeth.', '']
["Pemberley was now Georgiana's home; and the attachment of the sisters", '']
['was exactly what Darcy had hoped to see. They were able to love each', '']
['other even as well as they intended. Georgiana had the highest opinion', '']
['in the world of Elizabeth; though at first she often listened with', '']
['an astonishment bordering on alarm at her lively, sportive, manner of', '']
['talking to her brother. He, who had always inspired in herself a respect', '']
['which almost overcame her affection, she now saw the object of open', '']
['pleasantry. Her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen', '']
["in her way. By Elizabeth's instructions, she began to comprehend that", '']
['a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not', '']
['always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself.', '']
['Lady Catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew;', '']
['and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in', '']
['her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement, she sent him', '']
['language so very abusive, especially of Elizabeth, that for some time', '']
["all intercourse was at an end. But at length, by Elizabeth's persuasion,", '']
['he was prevailed on to overlook the offence, and seek a reconciliation;', '']

pride and prejudice

by jane austen

chapter 1

it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession

of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

however little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his

first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds

of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property

of some one or other of their daughters.

"my dear mr. bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that

netherfield park is let at last?"

mr. bennet replied that he had not.

"but it is," returned she; "for mrs. long has just been here, and she

told me all about it."

mr. bennet made no answer.

"do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.

"_you_ want to tell me, and i have no objection to hearing it."

this was invitation enough.

"why, my dear, you must know, mrs. long says that netherfield is taken

by a young man of large fortune from the north of england; that he came

down on monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much

delighted with it, that he agreed with mr. morris immediately; that he

is to take possession before michaelmas, and some of his servants are to

be in the house by the end of next week."

"what is his name?"

"bingley."

"is he married or single?"

"oh! single, my dear, to be sure! a single man of large fortune; four or

five thousand a year. what a fine thing for our girls!"

"how so? how can it affect them?"

"my dear mr. bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! you

must know that i am thinking of his marrying one of them."

"is that his design in settling here?"

"design! nonsense, how can you talk so! but it is very likely that he

_may_ fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as

soon as he comes."

"i see no occasion for that. you and the girls may go, or you may send

them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are

as handsome as any of them, mr. bingley may like you the best of the

party."

"my dear, you flatter me. i certainly _have_ had my share of beauty, but

i do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. when a woman has five

grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty."

"in such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of."

"but, my dear, you must indeed go and see mr. bingley when he comes into

the neighbourhood."

"it is more than i engage for, i assure you."

"but consider your daughters. only think what an establishment it would

be for one of them. sir william and lady lucas are determined to

go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no

newcomers. indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for _us_ to

visit him if you do not."

"you are over-scrupulous, surely. i dare say mr. bingley will be very

glad to see you; and i will send a few lines by you to assure him of my

hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though

i must throw in a good word for my little lizzy."

"i desire you will do no such thing. lizzy is not a bit better than the

others; and i am sure she is not half so handsome as jane, nor half so

good-humoured as lydia. but you are always giving _her_ the preference."

"they have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are

all silly and ignorant like other girls; but lizzy has something more of

quickness than her sisters."

"mr. bennet, how _can_ you abuse your own children in such a way? you

take delight in vexing me. you have no compassion for my poor nerves."

"you mistake me, my dear. i have a high respect for your nerves. they

are my old friends. i have heard you mention them with consideration

these last twenty years at least."

"ah, you do not know what i suffer."

"but i hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four

thousand a year come into the neighbourhood."

"it will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not

visit them."

"depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, i will visit them

all."

mr. bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour,

reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had

been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. _her_ mind

was less difficult to develop. she was a woman of mean understanding,

little information, and uncertain temper. when she was discontented,

she fancied herself nervous. the business of her life was to get her

daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

chapter 2

mr. bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on mr. bingley. he

had always intended to visit him, though to the last always assuring

his wife that he should not go; and till the evening after the visit was

paid she had no knowledge of it. it was then disclosed in the following

manner. observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat, he

suddenly addressed her with:

"i hope mr. bingley will like it, lizzy."

"we are not in a way to know _what_ mr. bingley likes," said her mother

resentfully, "since we are not to visit."

"but you forget, mamma," said elizabeth, "that we shall meet him at the

assemblies, and that mrs. long promised to introduce him."

"i do not believe mrs. long will do any such thing. she has two nieces

of her own. she is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and i have no opinion

of her."

"no more have i," said mr. bennet; "and i am glad to find that you do

not depend on her serving you."

mrs. bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain

herself, began scolding one of her daughters.

"don't keep coughing so, kitty, for heaven's sake! have a little

compassion on my nerves. you tear them to pieces."

"kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times

them ill."

"i do not cough for my own amusement," replied kitty fretfully. "when is

your next ball to be, lizzy?"

"to-morrow fortnight."

"aye, so it is," cried her mother, "and mrs. long does not come back

till the day before; so it will be impossible for her to introduce him,

for she will not know him herself."

"then, my dear, you may have the advantage of your friend, and introduce

mr. bingley to _her_."

"impossible, mr. bennet, impossible, when i am not acquainted with him

myself; how can you be so teasing?"

"i honour your circumspection. a fortnight's acquaintance is certainly

very little. one cannot know what a man really is by the end of a

fortnight. but if _we_ do not venture somebody else will; and after all,

mrs. long and her neices must stand their chance; and, therefore, as

she will think it an act of kindness, if you decline the office, i will

take it on myself."

the girls stared at their father. mrs. bennet said only, "nonsense,

nonsense!"

"what can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation?" cried he. "do

you consider the forms of introduction, and the stress that is laid on

them, as nonsense? i cannot quite agree with you _there_. what say you,

mary? for you are a young lady of deep reflection, i know, and read

great books and make extracts."

mary wished to say something sensible, but knew not how.

"while mary is adjusting her ideas," he continued, "let us return to mr.

bingley."

"i am sick of mr. bingley," cried his wife.

"i am sorry to hear _that_; but why did not you tell me that before? if

i had known as much this morning i certainly would not have called

on him. it is very unlucky; but as i have actually paid the visit, we

cannot escape the acquaintance now."

the astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished; that of mrs.

bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though, when the first tumult of joy

was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the

while.

"how good it was in you, my dear mr. bennet! but i knew i should

persuade you at last. i was sure you loved your girls too well to

neglect such an acquaintance. well, how pleased i am! and it is such a

good joke, too, that you should have gone this morning and never said a

word about it till now."

"now, kitty, you may cough as much as you choose," said mr. bennet; and,

as he spoke, he left the room, fatigued with the raptures of his wife.

"what an excellent father you have, girls!" said she, when the door was

shut. "i do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness;

or me, either, for that matter. at our time of life it is not so

pleasant, i can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but

for your sakes, we would do anything. lydia, my love, though you _are_

the youngest, i dare say mr. bingley will dance with you at the next

ball."

"oh!" said lydia stoutly, "i am not afraid; for though i _am_ the

youngest, i'm the tallest."

the rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would

return mr. bennet's visit, and determining when they should ask him to

dinner.

chapter 3

not all that mrs. bennet, however, with the assistance of her five

daughters, could ask on the subject, was sufficient to draw from her

husband any satisfactory description of mr. bingley. they attacked him

in various ways--with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and

distant surmises; but he eluded the skill of them all, and they were at

last obliged to accept the second-hand intelligence of their neighbour,

lady lucas. her report was highly favourable. sir william had been

delighted with him. he was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely

agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly

with a large party. nothing could be more delightful! to be fond of

dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively

hopes of mr. bingley's heart were entertained.

"if i can but see one of my daughters happily settled at netherfield,"

said mrs. bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well

married, i shall have nothing to wish for."

in a few days mr. bingley returned mr. bennet's visit, and sat about

ten minutes with him in his library. he had entertained hopes of being

admitted to a sight of the young ladies, of whose beauty he had

heard much; but he saw only the father. the ladies were somewhat more

fortunate, for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper

window that he wore a blue coat, and rode a black horse.

an invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already

had mrs. bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her

housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all. mr. bingley

was obliged to be in town the following day, and, consequently, unable

to accept the honour of their invitation, etc. mrs. bennet was quite

disconcerted. she could not imagine what business he could have in town

so soon after his arrival in hertfordshire; and she began to fear that

he might be always flying about from one place to another, and never

settled at netherfield as he ought to be. lady lucas quieted her fears

a little by starting the idea of his being gone to london only to get

a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed that mr. bingley

was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly.

the girls grieved over such a number of ladies, but were comforted the

day before the ball by hearing, that instead of twelve he brought only

six with him from london--his five sisters and a cousin. and when

the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five

altogether--mr. bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the eldest, and

another young man.

mr. bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant

countenance, and easy, unaffected manners. his sisters were fine women,

with an air of decided fashion. his brother-in-law, mr. hurst, merely

looked the gentleman; but his friend mr. darcy soon drew the attention

of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and

the report which was in general circulation within five minutes

after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. the gentlemen

pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he

was much handsomer than mr. bingley, and he was looked at with great

admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust

which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be

proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all

his large estate in derbyshire could then save him from having a most

forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared

with his friend.

mr. bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal

people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance,

was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving

one himself at netherfield. such amiable qualities must speak for

themselves. what a contrast between him and his friend! mr. darcy danced

only once with mrs. hurst and once with miss bingley, declined being

introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in

walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party.

his character was decided. he was the proudest, most disagreeable man

in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again.

amongst the most violent against him was mrs. bennet, whose dislike of

his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his

having slighted one of her daughters.

elizabeth bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit

down for two dances; and during part of that time, mr. darcy had been

standing near enough for her to hear a conversation between him and mr.

bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend

to join it.

"come, darcy," said he, "i must have you dance. i hate to see you

standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. you had much better

dance."

"i certainly shall not. you know how i detest it, unless i am

particularly acquainted with my partner. at such an assembly as this

it would be insupportable. your sisters are engaged, and there is not

another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to

stand up with."

"i would not be so fastidious as you are," cried mr. bingley, "for a

kingdom! upon my honour, i never met with so many pleasant girls in

my life as i have this evening; and there are several of them you see

uncommonly pretty."

"_you_ are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room," said mr.

darcy, looking at the eldest miss bennet.

"oh! she is the most beautiful creature i ever beheld! but there is one

of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and i

dare say very agreeable. do let me ask my partner to introduce you."

"which do you mean?" and turning round he looked for a moment at

elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said:

"she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt _me_; i am in no

humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted

by other men. you had better return to your partner and enjoy her

smiles, for you are wasting your time with me."

mr. bingley followed his advice. mr. darcy walked off; and elizabeth

remained with no very cordial feelings toward him. she told the story,

however, with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively,

playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous.

the evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family. mrs.

bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the netherfield

party. mr. bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been

distinguished by his sisters. jane was as much gratified by this as

her mother could be, though in a quieter way. elizabeth felt jane's

pleasure. mary had heard herself mentioned to miss bingley as the most

accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and catherine and lydia had been

fortunate enough never to be without partners, which was all that they

had yet learnt to care for at a ball. they returned, therefore, in good

spirits to longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they

were the principal inhabitants. they found mr. bennet still up. with

a book he was regardless of time; and on the present occasion he had a

good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised

such splendid expectations. he had rather hoped that his wife's views on

the stranger would be disappointed; but he soon found out that he had a

different story to hear.

"oh! my dear mr. bennet," as she entered the room, "we have had a most

delightful evening, a most excellent ball. i wish you had been there.

jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. everybody said how well

she looked; and mr. bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with

her twice! only think of _that_, my dear; he actually danced with her

twice! and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second

time. first of all, he asked miss lucas. i was so vexed to see him stand

up with her! but, however, he did not admire her at all; indeed, nobody

can, you know; and he seemed quite struck with jane as she was going

down the dance. so he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and

asked her for the two next. then the two third he danced with miss king,

and the two fourth with maria lucas, and the two fifth with jane again,

and the two sixth with lizzy, and the _boulanger_--"

"if he had had any compassion for _me_," cried her husband impatiently,

"he would not have danced half so much! for god's sake, say no more of

his partners. oh that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance!"

"oh! my dear, i am quite delighted with him. he is so excessively

handsome! and his sisters are charming women. i never in my life saw

anything more elegant than their dresses. i dare say the lace upon mrs.

hurst's gown--"

here she was interrupted again. mr. bennet protested against any

description of finery. she was therefore obliged to seek another branch

of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit and some

exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of mr. darcy.

"but i can assure you," she added, "that lizzy does not lose much by not

suiting _his_ fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at

all worth pleasing. so high and so conceited that there was no enduring

him! he walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very

great! not handsome enough to dance with! i wish you had been there, my

dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. i quite detest the man."

chapter 4

when jane and elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in

her praise of mr. bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very

much she admired him.

"he is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible,

good-humoured, lively; and i never saw such happy manners!--so much

ease, with such perfect good breeding!"

"he is also handsome," replied elizabeth, "which a young man ought

likewise to be, if he possibly can. his character is thereby complete."

"i was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. i

did not expect such a compliment."

"did not you? i did for you. but that is one great difference between

us. compliments always take _you_ by surprise, and _me_ never. what

could be more natural than his asking you again? he could not help

seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman

in the room. no thanks to his gallantry for that. well, he certainly is

very agreeable, and i give you leave to like him. you have liked many a

stupider person."

"dear lizzy!"

"oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general.

you never see a fault in anybody. all the world are good and agreeable

in your eyes. i never heard you speak ill of a human being in your

life."

"i would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone; but i always speak

what i think."

"i know you do; and it is _that_ which makes the wonder. with _your_

good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of

others! affectation of candour is common enough--one meets with it

everywhere. but to be candid without ostentation or design--to take the

good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing

of the bad--belongs to you alone. and so you like this man's sisters,

too, do you? their manners are not equal to his."

"certainly not--at first. but they are very pleasing women when you

converse with them. miss bingley is to live with her brother, and keep

his house; and i am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming

neighbour in her."

elizabeth listened in silence, but was not convinced; their behaviour at

the assembly had not been calculated to please in general; and with more

quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister,

and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself, she

was very little disposed to approve them. they were in fact very fine

ladies; not deficient in good humour when they were pleased, nor in the

power of making themselves agreeable when they chose it, but proud and

conceited. they were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the

first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand

pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of

associating with people of rank, and were therefore in every respect

entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. they were of

a respectable family in the north of england; a circumstance more deeply

impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and their

own had been acquired by trade.

mr. bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred

thousand pounds from his father, who had intended to purchase an

estate, but did not live to do it. mr. bingley intended it likewise, and

sometimes made choice of his county; but as he was now provided with a

good house and the liberty of a manor, it was doubtful to many of those

who best knew the easiness of his temper, whether he might not spend the

remainder of his days at netherfield, and leave the next generation to

purchase.

his sisters were anxious for his having an estate of his own; but,

though he was now only established as a tenant, miss bingley was by no

means unwilling to preside at his table--nor was mrs. hurst, who had

married a man of more fashion than fortune, less disposed to consider

his house as her home when it suited her. mr. bingley had not been of

age two years, when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation

to look at netherfield house. he did look at it, and into it for

half-an-hour--was pleased with the situation and the principal

rooms, satisfied with what the owner said in its praise, and took it

immediately.

between him and darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of

great opposition of character. bingley was endeared to darcy by the

easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition

could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he

never appeared dissatisfied. on the strength of darcy's regard, bingley

had the firmest reliance, and of his judgement the highest opinion.

in understanding, darcy was the superior. bingley was by no means

deficient, but darcy was clever. he was at the same time haughty,

reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well-bred, were not

inviting. in that respect his friend had greatly the advantage. bingley

was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, darcy was continually

giving offense.

the manner in which they spoke of the meryton assembly was sufficiently

characteristic. bingley had never met with more pleasant people or

prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive

to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt

acquainted with all the room; and, as to miss bennet, he could not

conceive an angel more beautiful. darcy, on the contrary, had seen a

collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for

none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received

either attention or pleasure. miss bennet he acknowledged to be pretty,

but she smiled too much.

mrs. hurst and her sister allowed it to be so--but still they admired

her and liked her, and pronounced her to be a sweet girl, and one

whom they would not object to know more of. miss bennet was therefore

established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorized by such

commendation to think of her as he chose.

chapter 5

within a short walk of longbourn lived a family with whom the bennets

were particularly intimate. sir william lucas had been formerly in trade

in meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the

honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.

the distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. it had given him a

disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town;

and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house

about a mile from meryton, denominated from that period lucas lodge,

where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and,

unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all

the world. for, though elated by his rank, it did not render him

supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. by

nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at st.

james's had made him courteous.

lady lucas was a very good kind of woman, not too clever to be a

valuable neighbour to mrs. bennet. they had several children. the eldest

of them, a sensible, intelligent young woman, about twenty-seven, was

elizabeth's intimate friend.

that the miss lucases and the miss bennets should meet to talk over

a ball was absolutely necessary; and the morning after the assembly

brought the former to longbourn to hear and to communicate.

"_you_ began the evening well, charlotte," said mrs. bennet with civil

self-command to miss lucas. "_you_ were mr. bingley's first choice."

"yes; but he seemed to like his second better."

"oh! you mean jane, i suppose, because he danced with her twice. to be

sure that _did_ seem as if he admired her--indeed i rather believe he

_did_--i heard something about it--but i hardly know what--something

about mr. robinson."

"perhaps you mean what i overheard between him and mr. robinson; did not

i mention it to you? mr. robinson's asking him how he liked our meryton

assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many

pretty women in the room, and _which_ he thought the prettiest? and his

answering immediately to the last question: 'oh! the eldest miss bennet,

beyond a doubt; there cannot be two opinions on that point.'"

"upon my word! well, that is very decided indeed--that does seem as

if--but, however, it may all come to nothing, you know."

"_my_ overhearings were more to the purpose than _yours_, eliza," said

charlotte. "mr. darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend,

is he?--poor eliza!--to be only just _tolerable_."

"i beg you would not put it into lizzy's head to be vexed by his

ill-treatment, for he is such a disagreeable man, that it would be quite

a misfortune to be liked by him. mrs. long told me last night that he

sat close to her for half-an-hour without once opening his lips."

"are you quite sure, ma'am?--is not there a little mistake?" said jane.

"i certainly saw mr. darcy speaking to her."

"aye--because she asked him at last how he liked netherfield, and he

could not help answering her; but she said he seemed quite angry at

being spoke to."

"miss bingley told me," said jane, "that he never speaks much,

unless among his intimate acquaintances. with _them_ he is remarkably

agreeable."

"i do not believe a word of it, my dear. if he had been so very

agreeable, he would have talked to mrs. long. but i can guess how it

was; everybody says that he is eat up with pride, and i dare say he had

heard somehow that mrs. long does not keep a carriage, and had come to

the ball in a hack chaise."

"i do not mind his not talking to mrs. long," said miss lucas, "but i

wish he had danced with eliza."

"another time, lizzy," said her mother, "i would not dance with _him_,

if i were you."

"i believe, ma'am, i may safely promise you _never_ to dance with him."

"his pride," said miss lucas, "does not offend _me_ so much as pride

often does, because there is an excuse for it. one cannot wonder that so

very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour,

should think highly of himself. if i may so express it, he has a _right_

to be proud."

"that is very true," replied elizabeth, "and i could easily forgive

_his_ pride, if he had not mortified _mine_."

"pride," observed mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her

reflections, "is a very common failing, i believe. by all that i have

ever read, i am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human

nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us

who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some

quality or other, real or imaginary. vanity and pride are different

things, though the words are often used synonymously. a person may

be proud without being vain. pride relates more to our opinion of

ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

"if i were as rich as mr. darcy," cried a young lucas, who came with

his sisters, "i should not care how proud i was. i would keep a pack of

foxhounds, and drink a bottle of wine a day."

"then you would drink a great deal more than you ought," said mrs.

bennet; "and if i were to see you at it, i should take away your bottle

directly."

the boy protested that she should not; she continued to declare that she

would, and the argument ended only with the visit.

chapter 6

the ladies of longbourn soon waited on those of netherfield. the visit

was soon returned in due form. miss bennet's pleasing manners grew on

the goodwill of mrs. hurst and miss bingley; and though the mother was

found to be intolerable, and the younger sisters not worth speaking to,

a wish of being better acquainted with _them_ was expressed towards

the two eldest. by jane, this attention was received with the greatest

pleasure, but elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment

of everybody, hardly excepting even her sister, and could not like them;

though their kindness to jane, such as it was, had a value as arising in

all probability from the influence of their brother's admiration. it

was generally evident whenever they met, that he _did_ admire her and

to _her_ it was equally evident that jane was yielding to the preference

which she had begun to entertain for him from the first, and was in a

way to be very much in love; but she considered with pleasure that it

was not likely to be discovered by the world in general, since jane

united, with great strength of feeling, a composure of temper and a

uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard her from the suspicions

of the impertinent. she mentioned this to her friend miss lucas.

"it may perhaps be pleasant," replied charlotte, "to be able to impose

on the public in such a case; but it is sometimes a disadvantage to be

so very guarded. if a woman conceals her affection with the same skill

from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and

it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in

the dark. there is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every

attachment, that it is not safe to leave any to itself. we can all

_begin_ freely--a slight preference is natural enough; but there are

very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without

encouragement. in nine cases out of ten a women had better show _more_

affection than she feels. bingley likes your sister undoubtedly; but he

may never do more than like her, if she does not help him on."

"but she does help him on, as much as her nature will allow. if i can

perceive her regard for him, he must be a simpleton, indeed, not to

discover it too."

"remember, eliza, that he does not know jane's disposition as you do."

"but if a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal

it, he must find it out."

"perhaps he must, if he sees enough of her. but, though bingley and jane

meet tolerably often, it is never for many hours together; and, as they

always see each other in large mixed parties, it is impossible that

every moment should be employed in conversing together. jane should

therefore make the most of every half-hour in which she can command his

attention. when she is secure of him, there will be more leisure for

falling in love as much as she chooses."

"your plan is a good one," replied elizabeth, "where nothing is in

question but the desire of being well married, and if i were determined

to get a rich husband, or any husband, i dare say i should adopt it. but

these are not jane's feelings; she is not acting by design. as yet,

she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its

reasonableness. she has known him only a fortnight. she danced four

dances with him at meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house,

and has since dined with him in company four times. this is not quite

enough to make her understand his character."

"not as you represent it. had she merely _dined_ with him, she might

only have discovered whether he had a good appetite; but you must

remember that four evenings have also been spent together--and four

evenings may do a great deal."

"yes; these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they

both like vingt-un better than commerce; but with respect to any other

leading characteristic, i do not imagine that much has been unfolded."

"well," said charlotte, "i wish jane success with all my heart; and

if she were married to him to-morrow, i should think she had as good a

chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a

twelvemonth. happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. if

the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or

ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the

least. they always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to

have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as

possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your

life."

"you make me laugh, charlotte; but it is not sound. you know it is not

sound, and that you would never act in this way yourself."

occupied in observing mr. bingley's attentions to her sister, elizabeth

was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some

interest in the eyes of his friend. mr. darcy had at first scarcely

allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the

ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. but no

sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly

had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered

uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. to

this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. though he had

detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry

in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and

pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those

of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. of

this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made

himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough

to dance with.

he began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing

with her himself, attended to her conversation with others. his doing so

drew her notice. it was at sir william lucas's, where a large party were

assembled.

"what does mr. darcy mean," said she to charlotte, "by listening to my

conversation with colonel forster?"

"that is a question which mr. darcy only can answer."

"but if he does it any more i shall certainly let him know that i see

what he is about. he has a very satirical eye, and if i do not begin by

being impertinent myself, i shall soon grow afraid of him."

on his approaching them soon afterwards, though without seeming to have

any intention of speaking, miss lucas defied her friend to mention such

a subject to him; which immediately provoking elizabeth to do it, she

turned to him and said:

"did you not think, mr. darcy, that i expressed myself uncommonly

well just now, when i was teasing colonel forster to give us a ball at

meryton?"

"with great energy; but it is always a subject which makes a lady

energetic."

"you are severe on us."

"it will be _her_ turn soon to be teased," said miss lucas. "i am going

to open the instrument, eliza, and you know what follows."

"you are a very strange creature by way of a friend!--always wanting me

to play and sing before anybody and everybody! if my vanity had taken

a musical turn, you would have been invaluable; but as it is, i would

really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of

hearing the very best performers." on miss lucas's persevering, however,

she added, "very well, if it must be so, it must." and gravely glancing

at mr. darcy, "there is a fine old saying, which everybody here is of

course familiar with: 'keep your breath to cool your porridge'; and i

shall keep mine to swell my song."

her performance was pleasing, though by no means capital. after a song

or two, and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that

she would sing again, she was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her

sister mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in

the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always

impatient for display.

mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her

application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited

manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she

had reached. elizabeth, easy and unaffected, had been listened to with

much more pleasure, though not playing half so well; and mary, at the

end of a long concerto, was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by

scotch and irish airs, at the request of her younger sisters, who,

with some of the lucases, and two or three officers, joined eagerly in

dancing at one end of the room.

mr. darcy stood near them in silent indignation at such a mode of

passing the evening, to the exclusion of all conversation, and was too

much engrossed by his thoughts to perceive that sir william lucas was

his neighbour, till sir william thus began:

"what a charming amusement for young people this is, mr. darcy! there

is nothing like dancing after all. i consider it as one of the first

refinements of polished society."

"certainly, sir; and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst

the less polished societies of the world. every savage can dance."

sir william only smiled. "your friend performs delightfully," he

continued after a pause, on seeing bingley join the group; "and i doubt

not that you are an adept in the science yourself, mr. darcy."

"you saw me dance at meryton, i believe, sir."

"yes, indeed, and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight. do

you often dance at st. james's?"

"never, sir."

"do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place?"

"it is a compliment which i never pay to any place if i can avoid it."

"you have a house in town, i conclude?"

mr. darcy bowed.

"i had once had some thought of fixing in town myself--for i am fond

of superior society; but i did not feel quite certain that the air of

london would agree with lady lucas."

he paused in hopes of an answer; but his companion was not disposed

to make any; and elizabeth at that instant moving towards them, he was

struck with the action of doing a very gallant thing, and called out to

her:

"my dear miss eliza, why are you not dancing? mr. darcy, you must allow

me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner. you

cannot refuse to dance, i am sure when so much beauty is before you."

and, taking her hand, he would have given it to mr. darcy who, though

extremely surprised, was not unwilling to receive it, when she instantly

drew back, and said with some discomposure to sir william:

"indeed, sir, i have not the least intention of dancing. i entreat you

not to suppose that i moved this way in order to beg for a partner."

mr. darcy, with grave propriety, requested to be allowed the honour of

her hand, but in vain. elizabeth was determined; nor did sir william at

all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasion.

"you excel so much in the dance, miss eliza, that it is cruel to deny

me the happiness of seeing you; and though this gentleman dislikes the

amusement in general, he can have no objection, i am sure, to oblige us

for one half-hour."

"mr. darcy is all politeness," said elizabeth, smiling.

"he is, indeed; but, considering the inducement, my dear miss eliza,

we cannot wonder at his complaisance--for who would object to such a

partner?"

elizabeth looked archly, and turned away. her resistance had not

injured her with the gentleman, and he was thinking of her with some

complacency, when thus accosted by miss bingley:

"i can guess the subject of your reverie."

"i should imagine not."

"you are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings

in this manner--in such society; and indeed i am quite of your opinion.

i was never more annoyed! the insipidity, and yet the noise--the

nothingness, and yet the self-importance of all those people! what would

i give to hear your strictures on them!"

"your conjecture is totally wrong, i assure you. my mind was more

agreeably engaged. i have been meditating on the very great pleasure

which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."

miss bingley immediately fixed her eyes on his face, and desired he

would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such reflections.

mr. darcy replied with great intrepidity:

"miss elizabeth bennet."

"miss elizabeth bennet!" repeated miss bingley. "i am all astonishment.

how long has she been such a favourite?--and pray, when am i to wish you

joy?"

"that is exactly the question which i expected you to ask. a lady's

imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love

to matrimony, in a moment. i knew you would be wishing me joy."

"nay, if you are serious about it, i shall consider the matter is

absolutely settled. you will be having a charming mother-in-law, indeed;

and, of course, she will always be at pemberley with you."

he listened to her with perfect indifference while she chose to

entertain herself in this manner; and as his composure convinced her

that all was safe, her wit flowed long.

chapter 7

mr. bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two

thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed,

in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's

fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply

the deficiency of his. her father had been an attorney in meryton, and

had left her four thousand pounds.

she had a sister married to a mr. phillips, who had been a clerk to

their father and succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in

london in a respectable line of trade.

the village of longbourn was only one mile from meryton; a most

convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted

thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt and

to a milliner's shop just over the way. the two youngest of the family,

catherine and lydia, were particularly frequent in these attentions;

their minds were more vacant than their sisters', and when nothing

better offered, a walk to meryton was necessary to amuse their morning

hours and furnish conversation for the evening; and however bare of news

the country in general might be, they always contrived to learn some

from their aunt. at present, indeed, they were well supplied both with

news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the

neighbourhood; it was to remain the whole winter, and meryton was the

headquarters.

their visits to mrs. phillips were now productive of the most

interesting intelligence. every day added something to their knowledge

of the officers' names and connections. their lodgings were not long a

secret, and at length they began to know the officers themselves. mr.

phillips visited them all, and this opened to his nieces a store of

felicity unknown before. they could talk of nothing but officers; and

mr. bingley's large fortune, the mention of which gave animation

to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the

regimentals of an ensign.

after listening one morning to their effusions on this subject, mr.

bennet coolly observed:

"from all that i can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two

of the silliest girls in the country. i have suspected it some time, but

i am now convinced."

catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but lydia, with perfect

indifference, continued to express her admiration of captain carter,

and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the

next morning to london.

"i am astonished, my dear," said mrs. bennet, "that you should be so

ready to think your own children silly. if i wished to think slightingly

of anybody's children, it should not be of my own, however."

"if my children are silly, i must hope to be always sensible of it."

"yes--but as it happens, they are all of them very clever."

"this is the only point, i flatter myself, on which we do not agree. i

had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but i must

so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly

foolish."

"my dear mr. bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of

their father and mother. when they get to our age, i dare say they will

not think about officers any more than we do. i remember the time when

i liked a red coat myself very well--and, indeed, so i do still at my

heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year,

should want one of my girls i shall not say nay to him; and i thought

colonel forster looked very becoming the other night at sir william's in

his regimentals."

"mamma," cried lydia, "my aunt says that colonel forster and captain

carter do not go so often to miss watson's as they did when they first

came; she sees them now very often standing in clarke's library."

mrs. bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with

a note for miss bennet; it came from netherfield, and the servant waited

for an answer. mrs. bennet's eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was

eagerly calling out, while her daughter read,

"well, jane, who is it from? what is it about? what does he say? well,

jane, make haste and tell us; make haste, my love."

"it is from miss bingley," said jane, and then read it aloud.

"my dear friend,--

"if you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with louisa and me,

we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives,

for a whole day's tete-a-tete between two women can never end without a

quarrel. come as soon as you can on receipt of this. my brother and the

gentlemen are to dine with the officers.--yours ever,

"caroline bingley"

"with the officers!" cried lydia. "i wonder my aunt did not tell us of

_that_."

"dining out," said mrs. bennet, "that is very unlucky."

"can i have the carriage?" said jane.

"no, my dear, you had better go on horseback, because it seems likely to

rain; and then you must stay all night."

"that would be a good scheme," said elizabeth, "if you were sure that

they would not offer to send her home."

"oh! but the gentlemen will have mr. bingley's chaise to go to meryton,

and the hursts have no horses to theirs."

"i had much rather go in the coach."

"but, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, i am sure. they are

wanted in the farm, mr. bennet, are they not?"

"they are wanted in the farm much oftener than i can get them."

"but if you have got them to-day," said elizabeth, "my mother's purpose

will be answered."

she did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses

were engaged. jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback, and her

mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a

bad day. her hopes were answered; jane had not been gone long before

it rained hard. her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was

delighted. the rain continued the whole evening without intermission;

jane certainly could not come back.

"this was a lucky idea of mine, indeed!" said mrs. bennet more than

once, as if the credit of making it rain were all her own. till the

next morning, however, she was not aware of all the felicity of her

contrivance. breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from netherfield

brought the following note for elizabeth:

"my dearest lizzy,--

"i find myself very unwell this morning, which, i suppose, is to be

imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. my kind friends will not

hear of my returning till i am better. they insist also on my seeing mr.

jones--therefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been

to me--and, excepting a sore throat and headache, there is not much the

matter with me.--yours, etc."

"well, my dear," said mr. bennet, when elizabeth had read the note

aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness--if she

should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of

mr. bingley, and under your orders."

"oh! i am not afraid of her dying. people do not die of little trifling

colds. she will be taken good care of. as long as she stays there, it is

all very well. i would go and see her if i could have the carriage."

elizabeth, feeling really anxious, was determined to go to her, though

the carriage was not to be had; and as she was no horsewoman, walking

was her only alternative. she declared her resolution.

"how can you be so silly," cried her mother, "as to think of such a

thing, in all this dirt! you will not be fit to be seen when you get

there."

"i shall be very fit to see jane--which is all i want."

"is this a hint to me, lizzy," said her father, "to send for the

horses?"

"no, indeed, i do not wish to avoid the walk. the distance is nothing

when one has a motive; only three miles. i shall be back by dinner."

"i admire the activity of your benevolence," observed mary, "but every

impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion,

exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."

"we will go as far as meryton with you," said catherine and lydia.

elizabeth accepted their company, and the three young ladies set off

together.

"if we make haste," said lydia, as they walked along, "perhaps we may

see something of captain carter before he goes."

in meryton they parted; the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one

of the officers' wives, and elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing

field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing

over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last

within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face

glowing with the warmth of exercise.

she was shown into the breakfast-parlour, where all but jane were

assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise.

that she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such

dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to mrs. hurst and

miss bingley; and elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt

for it. she was received, however, very politely by them; and in their

brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there

was good humour and kindness. mr. darcy said very little, and mr.

hurst nothing at all. the former was divided between admiration of the

brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as

to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. the latter was

thinking only of his breakfast.

her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. miss

bennet had slept ill, and though up, was very feverish, and not

well enough to leave her room. elizabeth was glad to be taken to her

immediately; and jane, who had only been withheld by the fear of giving

alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed

for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance. she was not equal,

however, to much conversation, and when miss bingley left them

together, could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the

extraordinary kindness she was treated with. elizabeth silently attended

her.

when breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters; and elizabeth

began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and

solicitude they showed for jane. the apothecary came, and having

examined his patient, said, as might be supposed, that she had caught

a violent cold, and that they must endeavour to get the better of it;

advised her to return to bed, and promised her some draughts. the advice

was followed readily, for the feverish symptoms increased, and her head

ached acutely. elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment; nor were

the other ladies often absent; the gentlemen being out, they had, in

fact, nothing to do elsewhere.

when the clock struck three, elizabeth felt that she must go, and very

unwillingly said so. miss bingley offered her the carriage, and she only

wanted a little pressing to accept it, when jane testified such concern

in parting with her, that miss bingley was obliged to convert the offer

of the chaise to an invitation to remain at netherfield for the present.

elizabeth most thankfully consented, and a servant was dispatched to

longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply

of clothes.

chapter 8

at five o'clock the two ladies retired to dress, and at half-past six

elizabeth was summoned to dinner. to the civil inquiries which then

poured in, and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the

much superior solicitude of mr. bingley's, she could not make a very

favourable answer. jane was by no means better. the sisters, on hearing

this, repeated three or four times how much they were grieved, how

shocking it was to have a bad cold, and how excessively they disliked

being ill themselves; and then thought no more of the matter: and their

indifference towards jane when not immediately before them restored

elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike.

their brother, indeed, was the only one of the party whom she could

regard with any complacency. his anxiety for jane was evident, and his

attentions to herself most pleasing, and they prevented her feeling

herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the

others. she had very little notice from any but him. miss bingley was

engrossed by mr. darcy, her sister scarcely less so; and as for mr.

hurst, by whom elizabeth sat, he was an indolent man, who lived only to

eat, drink, and play at cards; who, when he found her to prefer a plain

dish to a ragout, had nothing to say to her.

when dinner was over, she returned directly to jane, and miss bingley

began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. her manners were

pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence;

she had no conversation, no style, no beauty. mrs. hurst thought the

same, and added:

"she has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent

walker. i shall never forget her appearance this morning. she really

looked almost wild."

"she did, indeed, louisa. i could hardly keep my countenance. very

nonsensical to come at all! why must _she_ be scampering about the

country, because her sister had a cold? her hair, so untidy, so blowsy!"

"yes, and her petticoat; i hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep

in mud, i am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to

hide it not doing its office."

"your picture may be very exact, louisa," said bingley; "but this was

all lost upon me. i thought miss elizabeth bennet looked remarkably

well when she came into the room this morning. her dirty petticoat quite

escaped my notice."

"_you_ observed it, mr. darcy, i am sure," said miss bingley; "and i am

inclined to think that you would not wish to see _your_ sister make such

an exhibition."

"certainly not."

"to walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles, or whatever it is,

above her ankles in dirt, and alone, quite alone! what could she mean by

it? it seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence,

a most country-town indifference to decorum."

"it shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing," said

bingley.

"i am afraid, mr. darcy," observed miss bingley in a half whisper, "that

this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes."

"not at all," he replied; "they were brightened by the exercise." a

short pause followed this speech, and mrs. hurst began again:

"i have an excessive regard for miss jane bennet, she is really a very

sweet girl, and i wish with all my heart she were well settled. but with

such a father and mother, and such low connections, i am afraid there is

no chance of it."

"i think i have heard you say that their uncle is an attorney in

meryton."

"yes; and they have another, who lives somewhere near cheapside."

"that is capital," added her sister, and they both laughed heartily.

"if they had uncles enough to fill _all_ cheapside," cried bingley, "it

would not make them one jot less agreeable."

"but it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any

consideration in the world," replied darcy.

to this speech bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it their

hearty assent, and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of

their dear friend's vulgar relations.

with a renewal of tenderness, however, they returned to her room on

leaving the dining-parlour, and sat with her till summoned to coffee.

she was still very poorly, and elizabeth would not quit her at all, till

late in the evening, when she had the comfort of seeing her sleep, and

when it seemed to her rather right than pleasant that she should go

downstairs herself. on entering the drawing-room she found the whole

party at loo, and was immediately invited to join them; but suspecting

them to be playing high she declined it, and making her sister the

excuse, said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay

below, with a book. mr. hurst looked at her with astonishment.

"do you prefer reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular."

"miss eliza bennet," said miss bingley, "despises cards. she is a great

reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."

"i deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried elizabeth; "i am

_not_ a great reader, and i have pleasure in many things."

"in nursing your sister i am sure you have pleasure," said bingley; "and

i hope it will be soon increased by seeing her quite well."

elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and then walked towards the

table where a few books were lying. he immediately offered to fetch her

others--all that his library afforded.

"and i wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own

credit; but i am an idle fellow, and though i have not many, i have more

than i ever looked into."

elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those

in the room.

"i am astonished," said miss bingley, "that my father should have left

so small a collection of books. what a delightful library you have at

pemberley, mr. darcy!"

"it ought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of many

generations."

"and then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying

books."

"i cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as

these."

"neglect! i am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of

that noble place. charles, when you build _your_ house, i wish it may be

half as delightful as pemberley."

"i wish it may."

"but i would really advise you to make your purchase in that

neighbourhood, and take pemberley for a kind of model. there is not a

finer county in england than derbyshire."

"with all my heart; i will buy pemberley itself if darcy will sell it."

"i am talking of possibilities, charles."

"upon my word, caroline, i should think it more possible to get

pemberley by purchase than by imitation."

elizabeth was so much caught with what passed, as to leave her very

little attention for her book; and soon laying it wholly aside, she drew

near the card-table, and stationed herself between mr. bingley and his

eldest sister, to observe the game.

"is miss darcy much grown since the spring?" said miss bingley; "will

she be as tall as i am?"

"i think she will. she is now about miss elizabeth bennet's height, or

rather taller."

"how i long to see her again! i never met with anybody who delighted me

so much. such a countenance, such manners! and so extremely accomplished

for her age! her performance on the pianoforte is exquisite."

"it is amazing to me," said bingley, "how young ladies can have patience

to be so very accomplished as they all are."

"all young ladies accomplished! my dear charles, what do you mean?"

"yes, all of them, i think. they all paint tables, cover screens, and

net purses. i scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this, and i am sure

i never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being

informed that she was very accomplished."

"your list of the common extent of accomplishments," said darcy, "has

too much truth. the word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no

otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen. but i am very

far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general. i

cannot boast of knowing more than half-a-dozen, in the whole range of my

acquaintance, that are really accomplished."

"nor i, i am sure," said miss bingley.

"then," observed elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great deal in your

idea of an accomplished woman."

"yes, i do comprehend a great deal in it."

"oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can be really

esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met

with. a woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing,

dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides

all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of

walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word

will be but half-deserved."

"all this she must possess," added darcy, "and to all this she must

yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by

extensive reading."

"i am no longer surprised at your knowing _only_ six accomplished women.

i rather wonder now at your knowing _any_."

"are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all

this?"

"i never saw such a woman. i never saw such capacity, and taste, and

application, and elegance, as you describe united."

mrs. hurst and miss bingley both cried out against the injustice of her

implied doubt, and were both protesting that they knew many women who

answered this description, when mr. hurst called them to order, with

bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward. as all

conversation was thereby at an end, elizabeth soon afterwards left the

room.

"elizabeth bennet," said miss bingley, when the door was closed on her,

"is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the

other sex by undervaluing their own; and with many men, i dare say, it

succeeds. but, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art."

"undoubtedly," replied darcy, to whom this remark was chiefly addressed,

"there is a meanness in _all_ the arts which ladies sometimes condescend

to employ for captivation. whatever bears affinity to cunning is

despicable."

miss bingley was not so entirely satisfied with this reply as to

continue the subject.

elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse, and

that she could not leave her. bingley urged mr. jones being sent for

immediately; while his sisters, convinced that no country advice could

be of any service, recommended an express to town for one of the most

eminent physicians. this she would not hear of; but she was not so

unwilling to comply with their brother's proposal; and it was settled

that mr. jones should be sent for early in the morning, if miss bennet

were not decidedly better. bingley was quite uncomfortable; his sisters

declared that they were miserable. they solaced their wretchedness,

however, by duets after supper, while he could find no better relief

to his feelings than by giving his housekeeper directions that every

attention might be paid to the sick lady and her sister.

chapter 9

elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sister's room, and in the

morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the

inquiries which she very early received from mr. bingley by a housemaid,

and some time afterwards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his

sisters. in spite of this amendment, however, she requested to have a

note sent to longbourn, desiring her mother to visit jane, and form her

own judgement of her situation. the note was immediately dispatched, and

its contents as quickly complied with. mrs. bennet, accompanied by her

two youngest girls, reached netherfield soon after the family breakfast.

had she found jane in any apparent danger, mrs. bennet would have been

very miserable; but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was

not alarming, she had no wish of her recovering immediately, as her

restoration to health would probably remove her from netherfield. she

would not listen, therefore, to her daughter's proposal of being carried

home; neither did the apothecary, who arrived about the same time, think

it at all advisable. after sitting a little while with jane, on miss

bingley's appearance and invitation, the mother and three daughters all

attended her into the breakfast parlour. bingley met them with hopes

that mrs. bennet had not found miss bennet worse than she expected.

"indeed i have, sir," was her answer. "she is a great deal too ill to be

moved. mr. jones says we must not think of moving her. we must trespass

a little longer on your kindness."

"removed!" cried bingley. "it must not be thought of. my sister, i am

sure, will not hear of her removal."

"you may depend upon it, madam," said miss bingley, with cold civility,

"that miss bennet will receive every possible attention while she

remains with us."

mrs. bennet was profuse in her acknowledgments.

"i am sure," she added, "if it was not for such good friends i do not

know what would become of her, for she is very ill indeed, and suffers

a vast deal, though with the greatest patience in the world, which is

always the way with her, for she has, without exception, the sweetest

temper i have ever met with. i often tell my other girls they are

nothing to _her_. you have a sweet room here, mr. bingley, and a

charming prospect over the gravel walk. i do not know a place in the

country that is equal to netherfield. you will not think of quitting it

in a hurry, i hope, though you have but a short lease."

"whatever i do is done in a hurry," replied he; "and therefore if i

should resolve to quit netherfield, i should probably be off in five

minutes. at present, however, i consider myself as quite fixed here."

"that is exactly what i should have supposed of you," said elizabeth.

"you begin to comprehend me, do you?" cried he, turning towards her.

"oh! yes--i understand you perfectly."

"i wish i might take this for a compliment; but to be so easily seen

through i am afraid is pitiful."

"that is as it happens. it does not follow that a deep, intricate

character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours."

"lizzy," cried her mother, "remember where you are, and do not run on in

the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home."

"i did not know before," continued bingley immediately, "that you were a

studier of character. it must be an amusing study."

"yes, but intricate characters are the _most_ amusing. they have at

least that advantage."

"the country," said darcy, "can in general supply but a few subjects for

such a study. in a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and

unvarying society."

"but people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be

observed in them for ever."

"yes, indeed," cried mrs. bennet, offended by his manner of mentioning

a country neighbourhood. "i assure you there is quite as much of _that_

going on in the country as in town."

everybody was surprised, and darcy, after looking at her for a moment,

turned silently away. mrs. bennet, who fancied she had gained a complete

victory over him, continued her triumph.

"i cannot see that london has any great advantage over the country, for

my part, except the shops and public places. the country is a vast deal

pleasanter, is it not, mr. bingley?"

"when i am in the country," he replied, "i never wish to leave it;

and when i am in town it is pretty much the same. they have each their

advantages, and i can be equally happy in either."

"aye--that is because you have the right disposition. but that

gentleman," looking at darcy, "seemed to think the country was nothing

at all."

"indeed, mamma, you are mistaken," said elizabeth, blushing for her

mother. "you quite mistook mr. darcy. he only meant that there was not

such a variety of people to be met with in the country as in the town,

which you must acknowledge to be true."

"certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting

with many people in this neighbourhood, i believe there are few

neighbourhoods larger. i know we dine with four-and-twenty families."

nothing but concern for elizabeth could enable bingley to keep his

countenance. his sister was less delicate, and directed her eyes towards

mr. darcy with a very expressive smile. elizabeth, for the sake of

saying something that might turn her mother's thoughts, now asked her if

charlotte lucas had been at longbourn since _her_ coming away.

"yes, she called yesterday with her father. what an agreeable man sir

william is, mr. bingley, is not he? so much the man of fashion! so

genteel and easy! he has always something to say to everybody. _that_

is my idea of good breeding; and those persons who fancy themselves very

important, and never open their mouths, quite mistake the matter."

"did charlotte dine with you?"

"no, she would go home. i fancy she was wanted about the mince-pies. for

my part, mr. bingley, i always keep servants that can do their own work;

_my_ daughters are brought up very differently. but everybody is to

judge for themselves, and the lucases are a very good sort of girls,

i assure you. it is a pity they are not handsome! not that i think

charlotte so _very_ plain--but then she is our particular friend."

"she seems a very pleasant young woman."

"oh! dear, yes; but you must own she is very plain. lady lucas herself

has often said so, and envied me jane's beauty. i do not like to boast

of my own child, but to be sure, jane--one does not often see anybody

better looking. it is what everybody says. i do not trust my own

partiality. when she was only fifteen, there was a man at my brother

gardiner's in town so much in love with her that my sister-in-law was

sure he would make her an offer before we came away. but, however, he

did not. perhaps he thought her too young. however, he wrote some verses

on her, and very pretty they were."

"and so ended his affection," said elizabeth impatiently. "there has

been many a one, i fancy, overcome in the same way. i wonder who first

discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!"

"i have been used to consider poetry as the _food_ of love," said darcy.

"of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. everything nourishes what is

strong already. but if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, i

am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."

darcy only smiled; and the general pause which ensued made elizabeth

tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again. she longed to

speak, but could think of nothing to say; and after a short silence mrs.

bennet began repeating her thanks to mr. bingley for his kindness to

jane, with an apology for troubling him also with lizzy. mr. bingley was

unaffectedly civil in his answer, and forced his younger sister to be

civil also, and say what the occasion required. she performed her part

indeed without much graciousness, but mrs. bennet was satisfied, and

soon afterwards ordered her carriage. upon this signal, the youngest of

her daughters put herself forward. the two girls had been whispering to

each other during the whole visit, and the result of it was, that the

youngest should tax mr. bingley with having promised on his first coming

into the country to give a ball at netherfield.

lydia was a stout, well-grown girl of fifteen, with a fine complexion

and good-humoured countenance; a favourite with her mother, whose

affection had brought her into public at an early age. she had high

animal spirits, and a sort of natural self-consequence, which the

attention of the officers, to whom her uncle's good dinners, and her own

easy manners recommended her, had increased into assurance. she was very

equal, therefore, to address mr. bingley on the subject of the ball, and

abruptly reminded him of his promise; adding, that it would be the most

shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it. his answer to this

sudden attack was delightful to their mother's ear:

"i am perfectly ready, i assure you, to keep my engagement; and when

your sister is recovered, you shall, if you please, name the very day of

the ball. but you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill."

lydia declared herself satisfied. "oh! yes--it would be much better to

wait till jane was well, and by that time most likely captain carter

would be at meryton again. and when you have given _your_ ball," she

added, "i shall insist on their giving one also. i shall tell colonel

forster it will be quite a shame if he does not."

mrs. bennet and her daughters then departed, and elizabeth returned

instantly to jane, leaving her own and her relations' behaviour to the

remarks of the two ladies and mr. darcy; the latter of whom, however,

could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of _her_, in spite of

all miss bingley's witticisms on _fine eyes_.

chapter 10

the day passed much as the day before had done. mrs. hurst and miss

bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who

continued, though slowly, to mend; and in the evening elizabeth joined

their party in the drawing-room. the loo-table, however, did not appear.

mr. darcy was writing, and miss bingley, seated near him, was watching

the progress of his letter and repeatedly calling off his attention by

messages to his sister. mr. hurst and mr. bingley were at piquet, and

mrs. hurst was observing their game.

elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused in

attending to what passed between darcy and his companion. the perpetual

commendations of the lady, either on his handwriting, or on the evenness

of his lines, or on the length of his letter, with the perfect unconcern

with which her praises were received, formed a curious dialogue, and was

exactly in union with her opinion of each.

"how delighted miss darcy will be to receive such a letter!"

he made no answer.

"you write uncommonly fast."

"you are mistaken. i write rather slowly."

"how many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a

year! letters of business, too! how odious i should think them!"

"it is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of yours."

"pray tell your sister that i long to see her."

"i have already told her so once, by your desire."

"i am afraid you do not like your pen. let me mend it for you. i mend

pens remarkably well."

"thank you--but i always mend my own."

"how can you contrive to write so even?"

he was silent.

"tell your sister i am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp;

and pray let her know that i am quite in raptures with her beautiful

little design for a table, and i think it infinitely superior to miss

grantley's."

"will you give me leave to defer your raptures till i write again? at

present i have not room to do them justice."

"oh! it is of no consequence. i shall see her in january. but do you

always write such charming long letters to her, mr. darcy?"

"they are generally long; but whether always charming it is not for me

to determine."

"it is a rule with me, that a person who can write a long letter with

ease, cannot write ill."

"that will not do for a compliment to darcy, caroline," cried her

brother, "because he does _not_ write with ease. he studies too much for

words of four syllables. do not you, darcy?"

"my style of writing is very different from yours."

"oh!" cried miss bingley, "charles writes in the most careless way

imaginable. he leaves out half his words, and blots the rest."

"my ideas flow so rapidly that i have not time to express them--by which

means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents."

"your humility, mr. bingley," said elizabeth, "must disarm reproof."

"nothing is more deceitful," said darcy, "than the appearance of

humility. it is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an

indirect boast."

"and which of the two do you call _my_ little recent piece of modesty?"

"the indirect boast; for you are really proud of your defects in

writing, because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of

thought and carelessness of execution, which, if not estimable, you

think at least highly interesting. the power of doing anything with

quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any

attention to the imperfection of the performance. when you told mrs.

bennet this morning that if you ever resolved upon quitting netherfield

you should be gone in five minutes, you meant it to be a sort of

panegyric, of compliment to yourself--and yet what is there so very

laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business

undone, and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else?"

"nay," cried bingley, "this is too much, to remember at night all the

foolish things that were said in the morning. and yet, upon my honour,

i believe what i said of myself to be true, and i believe it at this

moment. at least, therefore, i did not assume the character of needless

precipitance merely to show off before the ladies."

"i dare say you believed it; but i am by no means convinced that

you would be gone with such celerity. your conduct would be quite as

dependent on chance as that of any man i know; and if, as you were

mounting your horse, a friend were to say, 'bingley, you had better

stay till next week,' you would probably do it, you would probably not

go--and at another word, might stay a month."

"you have only proved by this," cried elizabeth, "that mr. bingley did

not do justice to his own disposition. you have shown him off now much

more than he did himself."

"i am exceedingly gratified," said bingley, "by your converting what my

friend says into a compliment on the sweetness of my temper. but i am

afraid you are giving it a turn which that gentleman did by no means

intend; for he would certainly think better of me, if under such a

circumstance i were to give a flat denial, and ride off as fast as i

could."

"would mr. darcy then consider the rashness of your original intentions

as atoned for by your obstinacy in adhering to it?"

"upon my word, i cannot exactly explain the matter; darcy must speak for

himself."

"you expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine,

but which i have never acknowledged. allowing the case, however, to

stand according to your representation, you must remember, miss bennet,

that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house, and

the delay of his plan, has merely desired it, asked it without offering

one argument in favour of its propriety."

"to yield readily--easily--to the _persuasion_ of a friend is no merit

with you."

"to yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of

either."

"you appear to me, mr. darcy, to allow nothing for the influence of

friendship and affection. a regard for the requester would often make

one readily yield to a request, without waiting for arguments to reason

one into it. i am not particularly speaking of such a case as you have

supposed about mr. bingley. we may as well wait, perhaps, till the

circumstance occurs before we discuss the discretion of his behaviour

thereupon. but in general and ordinary cases between friend and friend,

where one of them is desired by the other to change a resolution of no

very great moment, should you think ill of that person for complying

with the desire, without waiting to be argued into it?"

"will it not be advisable, before we proceed on this subject, to

arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to

appertain to this request, as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting

between the parties?"

"by all means," cried bingley; "let us hear all the particulars, not

forgetting their comparative height and size; for that will have more

weight in the argument, miss bennet, than you may be aware of. i assure

you, that if darcy were not such a great tall fellow, in comparison with

myself, i should not pay him half so much deference. i declare i do not

know a more awful object than darcy, on particular occasions, and in

particular places; at his own house especially, and of a sunday evening,

when he has nothing to do."

mr. darcy smiled; but elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was

rather offended, and therefore checked her laugh. miss bingley warmly

resented the indignity he had received, in an expostulation with her

brother for talking such nonsense.

"i see your design, bingley," said his friend. "you dislike an argument,

and want to silence this."

"perhaps i do. arguments are too much like disputes. if you and miss

bennet will defer yours till i am out of the room, i shall be very

thankful; and then you may say whatever you like of me."

"what you ask," said elizabeth, "is no sacrifice on my side; and mr.

darcy had much better finish his letter."

mr. darcy took her advice, and did finish his letter.

when that business was over, he applied to miss bingley and elizabeth

for an indulgence of some music. miss bingley moved with some alacrity

to the pianoforte; and, after a polite request that elizabeth would lead

the way which the other as politely and more earnestly negatived, she

seated herself.

mrs. hurst sang with her sister, and while they were thus employed,

elizabeth could not help observing, as she turned over some music-books

that lay on the instrument, how frequently mr. darcy's eyes were fixed

on her. she hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of

admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her

because he disliked her, was still more strange. she could only imagine,

however, at last that she drew his notice because there was something

more wrong and reprehensible, according to his ideas of right, than in

any other person present. the supposition did not pain her. she liked

him too little to care for his approbation.

after playing some italian songs, miss bingley varied the charm by

a lively scotch air; and soon afterwards mr. darcy, drawing near

elizabeth, said to her:

"do not you feel a great inclination, miss bennet, to seize such an

opportunity of dancing a reel?"

she smiled, but made no answer. he repeated the question, with some

surprise at her silence.

"oh!" said she, "i heard you before, but i could not immediately

determine what to say in reply. you wanted me, i know, to say 'yes,'

that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but i always

delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of

their premeditated contempt. i have, therefore, made up my mind to tell

you, that i do not want to dance a reel at all--and now despise me if

you dare."

"indeed i do not dare."

elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his

gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her

manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and darcy

had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. he really

believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he

should be in some danger.

miss bingley saw, or suspected enough to be jealous; and her great

anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend jane received some

assistance from her desire of getting rid of elizabeth.

she often tried to provoke darcy into disliking her guest, by talking of

their supposed marriage, and planning his happiness in such an alliance.

"i hope," said she, as they were walking together in the shrubbery

the next day, "you will give your mother-in-law a few hints, when this

desirable event takes place, as to the advantage of holding her tongue;

and if you can compass it, do cure the younger girls of running after

officers. and, if i may mention so delicate a subject, endeavour to

check that little something, bordering on conceit and impertinence,

which your lady possesses."

"have you anything else to propose for my domestic felicity?"

"oh! yes. do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt phillips be placed

in the gallery at pemberley. put them next to your great-uncle the

judge. they are in the same profession, you know, only in different

lines. as for your elizabeth's picture, you must not have it taken, for

what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes?"

"it would not be easy, indeed, to catch their expression, but their

colour and shape, and the eyelashes, so remarkably fine, might be

copied."

at that moment they were met from another walk by mrs. hurst and

elizabeth herself.

"i did not know that you intended to walk," said miss bingley, in some

confusion, lest they had been overheard.

"you used us abominably ill," answered mrs. hurst, "running away without

telling us that you were coming out."

then taking the disengaged arm of mr. darcy, she left elizabeth to walk

by herself. the path just admitted three. mr. darcy felt their rudeness,

and immediately said:

"this walk is not wide enough for our party. we had better go into the

avenue."

but elizabeth, who had not the least inclination to remain with them,

laughingly answered:

"no, no; stay where you are. you are charmingly grouped, and appear

to uncommon advantage. the picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a

fourth. good-bye."

she then ran gaily off, rejoicing as she rambled about, in the hope of

being at home again in a day or two. jane was already so much recovered

as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours that evening.

chapter 11

when the ladies removed after dinner, elizabeth ran up to her

sister, and seeing her well guarded from cold, attended her into the

drawing-room, where she was welcomed by her two friends with many

professions of pleasure; and elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable

as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared.

their powers of conversation were considerable. they could describe an

entertainment with accuracy, relate an anecdote with humour, and laugh

at their acquaintance with spirit.

but when the gentlemen entered, jane was no longer the first object;

miss bingley's eyes were instantly turned toward darcy, and she had

something to say to him before he had advanced many steps. he addressed

himself to miss bennet, with a polite congratulation; mr. hurst also

made her a slight bow, and said he was "very glad;" but diffuseness

and warmth remained for bingley's salutation. he was full of joy and

attention. the first half-hour was spent in piling up the fire, lest she

should suffer from the change of room; and she removed at his desire

to the other side of the fireplace, that she might be further from

the door. he then sat down by her, and talked scarcely to anyone

else. elizabeth, at work in the opposite corner, saw it all with great

delight.

when tea was over, mr. hurst reminded his sister-in-law of the

card-table--but in vain. she had obtained private intelligence that mr.

darcy did not wish for cards; and mr. hurst soon found even his open

petition rejected. she assured him that no one intended to play, and

the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her. mr.

hurst had therefore nothing to do, but to stretch himself on one of the

sofas and go to sleep. darcy took up a book; miss bingley did the same;

and mrs. hurst, principally occupied in playing with her bracelets

and rings, joined now and then in her brother's conversation with miss

bennet.

miss bingley's attention was quite as much engaged in watching mr.

darcy's progress through _his_ book, as in reading her own; and she

was perpetually either making some inquiry, or looking at his page. she

could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her

question, and read on. at length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be

amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the

second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, "how pleasant

it is to spend an evening in this way! i declare after all there is no

enjoyment like reading! how much sooner one tires of anything than of a

book! when i have a house of my own, i shall be miserable if i have not

an excellent library."

no one made any reply. she then yawned again, threw aside her book, and

cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement; when hearing

her brother mentioning a ball to miss bennet, she turned suddenly

towards him and said:

"by the bye, charles, are you really serious in meditating a dance at

netherfield? i would advise you, before you determine on it, to consult

the wishes of the present party; i am much mistaken if there are

not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a

pleasure."

"if you mean darcy," cried her brother, "he may go to bed, if he

chooses, before it begins--but as for the ball, it is quite a settled

thing; and as soon as nicholls has made white soup enough, i shall send

round my cards."

"i should like balls infinitely better," she replied, "if they were

carried on in a different manner; but there is something insufferably

tedious in the usual process of such a meeting. it would surely be much

more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of

the day."

"much more rational, my dear caroline, i dare say, but it would not be

near so much like a ball."

miss bingley made no answer, and soon afterwards she got up and walked

about the room. her figure was elegant, and she walked well; but

darcy, at whom it was all aimed, was still inflexibly studious. in

the desperation of her feelings, she resolved on one effort more, and,

turning to elizabeth, said:

"miss eliza bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a

turn about the room. i assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so

long in one attitude."

elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. miss bingley

succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; mr. darcy looked

up. he was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as

elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book. he was

directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that

he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down

the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would

interfere. "what could he mean? she was dying to know what could be his

meaning?"--and asked elizabeth whether she could at all understand him?

"not at all," was her answer; "but depend upon it, he means to be severe

on us, and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing

about it."

miss bingley, however, was incapable of disappointing mr. darcy in

anything, and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his

two motives.

"i have not the smallest objection to explaining them," said he, as soon

as she allowed him to speak. "you either choose this method of passing

the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret

affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures

appear to the greatest advantage in walking; if the first, i would be

completely in your way, and if the second, i can admire you much better

as i sit by the fire."

"oh! shocking!" cried miss bingley. "i never heard anything so

abominable. how shall we punish him for such a speech?"

"nothing so easy, if you have but the inclination," said elizabeth. "we

can all plague and punish one another. tease him--laugh at him. intimate

as you are, you must know how it is to be done."

"but upon my honour, i do _not_. i do assure you that my intimacy has

not yet taught me _that_. tease calmness of manner and presence of

mind! no, no; i feel he may defy us there. and as to laughter, we will

not expose ourselves, if you please, by attempting to laugh without a

subject. mr. darcy may hug himself."

"mr. darcy is not to be laughed at!" cried elizabeth. "that is an

uncommon advantage, and uncommon i hope it will continue, for it would

be a great loss to _me_ to have many such acquaintances. i dearly love a

laugh."

"miss bingley," said he, "has given me more credit than can be.

the wisest and the best of men--nay, the wisest and best of their

actions--may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in

life is a joke."

"certainly," replied elizabeth--"there are such people, but i hope i

am not one of _them_. i hope i never ridicule what is wise and good.

follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies, _do_ divert me, i own,

and i laugh at them whenever i can. but these, i suppose, are precisely

what you are without."

"perhaps that is not possible for anyone. but it has been the study

of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong

understanding to ridicule."

"such as vanity and pride."

"yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. but pride--where there is a real

superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation."

elizabeth turned away to hide a smile.

"your examination of mr. darcy is over, i presume," said miss bingley;

"and pray what is the result?"

"i am perfectly convinced by it that mr. darcy has no defect. he owns it

himself without disguise."

"no," said darcy, "i have made no such pretension. i have faults enough,

but they are not, i hope, of understanding. my temper i dare not vouch

for. it is, i believe, too little yielding--certainly too little for the

convenience of the world. i cannot forget the follies and vices of others

so soon as i ought, nor their offenses against myself. my feelings

are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. my temper

would perhaps be called resentful. my good opinion once lost, is lost

forever."

"_that_ is a failing indeed!" cried elizabeth. "implacable resentment

_is_ a shade in a character. but you have chosen your fault well. i

really cannot _laugh_ at it. you are safe from me."

"there is, i believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular

evil--a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome."

"and _your_ defect is to hate everybody."

"and yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand

them."

"do let us have a little music," cried miss bingley, tired of a

conversation in which she had no share. "louisa, you will not mind my

waking mr. hurst?"

her sister had not the smallest objection, and the pianoforte was

opened; and darcy, after a few moments' recollection, was not sorry for

it. he began to feel the danger of paying elizabeth too much attention.

chapter 12

in consequence of an agreement between the sisters, elizabeth wrote the

next morning to their mother, to beg that the carriage might be sent for

them in the course of the day. but mrs. bennet, who had calculated on

her daughters remaining at netherfield till the following tuesday, which

would exactly finish jane's week, could not bring herself to receive

them with pleasure before. her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at

least not to elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home. mrs.

bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage

before tuesday; and in her postscript it was added, that if mr. bingley

and his sister pressed them to stay longer, she could spare them

very well. against staying longer, however, elizabeth was positively

resolved--nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the

contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long,

she urged jane to borrow mr. bingley's carriage immediately, and at

length it was settled that their original design of leaving netherfield

that morning should be mentioned, and the request made.

the communication excited many professions of concern; and enough was

said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work

on jane; and till the morrow their going was deferred. miss bingley was

then sorry that she had proposed the delay, for her jealousy and dislike

of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other.

the master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so

soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade miss bennet that it would not be

safe for her--that she was not enough recovered; but jane was firm where

she felt herself to be right.

to mr. darcy it was welcome intelligence--elizabeth had been at

netherfield long enough. she attracted him more than he liked--and miss

bingley was uncivil to _her_, and more teasing than usual to himself.

he wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration

should _now_ escape him, nothing that could elevate her with the hope

of influencing his felicity; sensible that if such an idea had been

suggested, his behaviour during the last day must have material weight

in confirming or crushing it. steady to his purpose, he scarcely spoke

ten words to her through the whole of saturday, and though they were

at one time left by themselves for half-an-hour, he adhered most

conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her.

on sunday, after morning service, the separation, so agreeable to almost

all, took place. miss bingley's civility to elizabeth increased at last

very rapidly, as well as her affection for jane; and when they parted,

after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her

to see her either at longbourn or netherfield, and embracing her most

tenderly, she even shook hands with the former. elizabeth took leave of

the whole party in the liveliest of spirits.

they were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother. mrs. bennet

wondered at their coming, and thought them very wrong to give so much

trouble, and was sure jane would have caught cold again. but their

father, though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure, was really

glad to see them; he had felt their importance in the family circle. the

evening conversation, when they were all assembled, had lost much of

its animation, and almost all its sense by the absence of jane and

elizabeth.

they found mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough-bass and human

nature; and had some extracts to admire, and some new observations of

threadbare morality to listen to. catherine and lydia had information

for them of a different sort. much had been done and much had been said

in the regiment since the preceding wednesday; several of the officers

had dined lately with their uncle, a private had been flogged, and it

had actually been hinted that colonel forster was going to be married.

chapter 13

"i hope, my dear," said mr. bennet to his wife, as they were at

breakfast the next morning, "that you have ordered a good dinner to-day,

because i have reason to expect an addition to our family party."

"who do you mean, my dear? i know of nobody that is coming, i am sure,

unless charlotte lucas should happen to call in--and i hope _my_ dinners

are good enough for her. i do not believe she often sees such at home."

"the person of whom i speak is a gentleman, and a stranger."

mrs. bennet's eyes sparkled. "a gentleman and a stranger! it is mr.

bingley, i am sure! well, i am sure i shall be extremely glad to see mr.

bingley. but--good lord! how unlucky! there is not a bit of fish to be

got to-day. lydia, my love, ring the bell--i must speak to hill this

moment."

"it is _not_ mr. bingley," said her husband; "it is a person whom i

never saw in the whole course of my life."

this roused a general astonishment; and he had the pleasure of being

eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once.

after amusing himself some time with their curiosity, he thus explained:

"about a month ago i received this letter; and about a fortnight ago

i answered it, for i thought it a case of some delicacy, and requiring

early attention. it is from my cousin, mr. collins, who, when i am dead,

may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases."

"oh! my dear," cried his wife, "i cannot bear to hear that mentioned.

pray do not talk of that odious man. i do think it is the hardest thing

in the world, that your estate should be entailed away from your own

children; and i am sure, if i had been you, i should have tried long ago

to do something or other about it."

jane and elizabeth tried to explain to her the nature of an entail. they

had often attempted to do it before, but it was a subject on which

mrs. bennet was beyond the reach of reason, and she continued to rail

bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of

five daughters, in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about.

"it certainly is a most iniquitous affair," said mr. bennet, "and

nothing can clear mr. collins from the guilt of inheriting longbourn.

but if you will listen to his letter, you may perhaps be a little

softened by his manner of expressing himself."

"no, that i am sure i shall not; and i think it is very impertinent of

him to write to you at all, and very hypocritical. i hate such false

friends. why could he not keep on quarreling with you, as his father did

before him?"

"why, indeed; he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that

head, as you will hear."

"hunsford, near westerham, kent, 15th october.

"dear sir,--

"the disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured

father always gave me much uneasiness, and since i have had the

misfortune to lose him, i have frequently wished to heal the breach; but

for some time i was kept back by my own doubts, fearing lest it might

seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with anyone

with whom it had always pleased him to be at variance.--'there, mrs.

bennet.'--my mind, however, is now made up on the subject, for having

received ordination at easter, i have been so fortunate as to be

distinguished by the patronage of the right honourable lady catherine de

bourgh, widow of sir lewis de bourgh, whose bounty and beneficence has

preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish, where it shall be

my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her

ladyship, and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which

are instituted by the church of england. as a clergyman, moreover, i

feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in

all families within the reach of my influence; and on these grounds i

flatter myself that my present overtures are highly commendable, and

that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of longbourn estate

will be kindly overlooked on your side, and not lead you to reject the

offered olive-branch. i cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the

means of injuring your amiable daughters, and beg leave to apologise for

it, as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible

amends--but of this hereafter. if you should have no objection to

receive me into your house, i propose myself the satisfaction of waiting

on you and your family, monday, november 18th, by four o'clock, and

shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the saturday se'ennight

following, which i can do without any inconvenience, as lady catherine

is far from objecting to my occasional absence on a sunday, provided

that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the day.--i

remain, dear sir, with respectful compliments to your lady and

daughters, your well-wisher and friend,

"william collins"

"at four o'clock, therefore, we may expect this peace-making gentleman,"

said mr. bennet, as he folded up the letter. "he seems to be a most

conscientious and polite young man, upon my word, and i doubt not will

prove a valuable acquaintance, especially if lady catherine should be so

indulgent as to let him come to us again."

"there is some sense in what he says about the girls, however, and if

he is disposed to make them any amends, i shall not be the person to

discourage him."

"though it is difficult," said jane, "to guess in what way he can mean

to make us the atonement he thinks our due, the wish is certainly to his

credit."

elizabeth was chiefly struck by his extraordinary deference for lady

catherine, and his kind intention of christening, marrying, and burying

his parishioners whenever it were required.

"he must be an oddity, i think," said she. "i cannot make him

out.--there is something very pompous in his style.--and what can he

mean by apologising for being next in the entail?--we cannot suppose he

would help it if he could.--could he be a sensible man, sir?"

"no, my dear, i think not. i have great hopes of finding him quite the

reverse. there is a mixture of servility and self-importance in his

letter, which promises well. i am impatient to see him."

"in point of composition," said mary, "the letter does not seem

defective. the idea of the olive-branch perhaps is not wholly new, yet i

think it is well expressed."

to catherine and lydia, neither the letter nor its writer were in any

degree interesting. it was next to impossible that their cousin should

come in a scarlet coat, and it was now some weeks since they had

received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour. as for

their mother, mr. collins's letter had done away much of her ill-will,

and she was preparing to see him with a degree of composure which

astonished her husband and daughters.

mr. collins was punctual to his time, and was received with great

politeness by the whole family. mr. bennet indeed said little; but the

ladies were ready enough to talk, and mr. collins seemed neither in

need of encouragement, nor inclined to be silent himself. he was a

tall, heavy-looking young man of five-and-twenty. his air was grave and

stately, and his manners were very formal. he had not been long seated

before he complimented mrs. bennet on having so fine a family of

daughters; said he had heard much of their beauty, but that in this

instance fame had fallen short of the truth; and added, that he did

not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage. this

gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers; but mrs.

bennet, who quarreled with no compliments, answered most readily.

"you are very kind, i am sure; and i wish with all my heart it may

prove so, for else they will be destitute enough. things are settled so

oddly."

"you allude, perhaps, to the entail of this estate."

"ah! sir, i do indeed. it is a grievous affair to my poor girls, you

must confess. not that i mean to find fault with _you_, for such things

i know are all chance in this world. there is no knowing how estates

will go when once they come to be entailed."

"i am very sensible, madam, of the hardship to my fair cousins, and

could say much on the subject, but that i am cautious of appearing

forward and precipitate. but i can assure the young ladies that i come

prepared to admire them. at present i will not say more; but, perhaps,

when we are better acquainted--"

he was interrupted by a summons to dinner; and the girls smiled on each

other. they were not the only objects of mr. collins's admiration. the

hall, the dining-room, and all its furniture, were examined and praised;

and his commendation of everything would have touched mrs. bennet's

heart, but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his

own future property. the dinner too in its turn was highly admired; and

he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its

cooking was owing. but he was set right there by mrs. bennet, who

assured him with some asperity that they were very well able to keep a

good cook, and that her daughters had nothing to do in the kitchen. he

begged pardon for having displeased her. in a softened tone she declared

herself not at all offended; but he continued to apologise for about a

quarter of an hour.

chapter 14

during dinner, mr. bennet scarcely spoke at all; but when the servants

were withdrawn, he thought it time to have some conversation with his

guest, and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to

shine, by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness. lady

catherine de bourgh's attention to his wishes, and consideration for

his comfort, appeared very remarkable. mr. bennet could not have chosen

better. mr. collins was eloquent in her praise. the subject elevated him

to more than usual solemnity of manner, and with a most important aspect

he protested that "he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in

a person of rank--such affability and condescension, as he had himself

experienced from lady catherine. she had been graciously pleased to

approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of

preaching before her. she had also asked him twice to dine at rosings,

and had sent for him only the saturday before, to make up her pool of

quadrille in the evening. lady catherine was reckoned proud by many

people he knew, but _he_ had never seen anything but affability in her.

she had always spoken to him as she would to any other gentleman; she

made not the smallest objection to his joining in the society of the

neighbourhood nor to his leaving the parish occasionally for a week or

two, to visit his relations. she had even condescended to advise him to

marry as soon as he could, provided he chose with discretion; and had

once paid him a visit in his humble parsonage, where she had perfectly

approved all the alterations he had been making, and had even vouchsafed

to suggest some herself--some shelves in the closet up stairs."

"that is all very proper and civil, i am sure," said mrs. bennet, "and

i dare say she is a very agreeable woman. it is a pity that great ladies

in general are not more like her. does she live near you, sir?"

"the garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane

from rosings park, her ladyship's residence."

"i think you said she was a widow, sir? has she any family?"

"she has only one daughter, the heiress of rosings, and of very

extensive property."

"ah!" said mrs. bennet, shaking her head, "then she is better off than

many girls. and what sort of young lady is she? is she handsome?"

"she is a most charming young lady indeed. lady catherine herself says

that, in point of true beauty, miss de bourgh is far superior to the

handsomest of her sex, because there is that in her features which marks

the young lady of distinguished birth. she is unfortunately of a sickly

constitution, which has prevented her from making that progress in many

accomplishments which she could not have otherwise failed of, as i am

informed by the lady who superintended her education, and who still

resides with them. but she is perfectly amiable, and often condescends

to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies."

"has she been presented? i do not remember her name among the ladies at

court."

"her indifferent state of health unhappily prevents her being in town;

and by that means, as i told lady catherine one day, has deprived the

british court of its brightest ornament. her ladyship seemed pleased

with the idea; and you may imagine that i am happy on every occasion to

offer those little delicate compliments which are always acceptable

to ladies. i have more than once observed to lady catherine, that

her charming daughter seemed born to be a duchess, and that the most

elevated rank, instead of giving her consequence, would be adorned by

her. these are the kind of little things which please her ladyship, and

it is a sort of attention which i conceive myself peculiarly bound to

pay."

"you judge very properly," said mr. bennet, "and it is happy for you

that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. may i ask

whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the

moment, or are the result of previous study?"

"they arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though i

sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant

compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, i always wish to

give them as unstudied an air as possible."

mr. bennet's expectations were fully answered. his cousin was as absurd

as he had hoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment,

maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance,

and, except in an occasional glance at elizabeth, requiring no partner

in his pleasure.

by tea-time, however, the dose had been enough, and mr. bennet was glad

to take his guest into the drawing-room again, and, when tea was over,

glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies. mr. collins readily

assented, and a book was produced; but, on beholding it (for everything

announced it to be from a circulating library), he started back, and

begging pardon, protested that he never read novels. kitty stared at

him, and lydia exclaimed. other books were produced, and after some

deliberation he chose fordyce's sermons. lydia gaped as he opened the

volume, and before he had, with very monotonous solemnity, read three

pages, she interrupted him with:

"do you know, mamma, that my uncle phillips talks of turning away

richard; and if he does, colonel forster will hire him. my aunt told me

so herself on saturday. i shall walk to meryton to-morrow to hear more

about it, and to ask when mr. denny comes back from town."

lydia was bid by her two eldest sisters to hold her tongue; but mr.

collins, much offended, laid aside his book, and said:

"i have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books

of a serious stamp, though written solely for their benefit. it amazes

me, i confess; for, certainly, there can be nothing so advantageous to

them as instruction. but i will no longer importune my young cousin."

then turning to mr. bennet, he offered himself as his antagonist at

backgammon. mr. bennet accepted the challenge, observing that he acted

very wisely in leaving the girls to their own trifling amusements.

mrs. bennet and her daughters apologised most civilly for lydia's

interruption, and promised that it should not occur again, if he would

resume his book; but mr. collins, after assuring them that he bore his

young cousin no ill-will, and should never resent her behaviour as any

affront, seated himself at another table with mr. bennet, and prepared

for backgammon.

chapter 15

mr. collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had

been but little assisted by education or society; the greatest part

of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and

miserly father; and though he belonged to one of the universities, he

had merely kept the necessary terms, without forming at it any useful

acquaintance. the subjection in which his father had brought him up had

given him originally great humility of manner; but it was now a

good deal counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head, living in

retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected

prosperity. a fortunate chance had recommended him to lady catherine de

bourgh when the living of hunsford was vacant; and the respect which

he felt for her high rank, and his veneration for her as his patroness,

mingling with a very good opinion of himself, of his authority as a

clergyman, and his right as a rector, made him altogether a mixture of

pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.

having now a good house and a very sufficient income, he intended to

marry; and in seeking a reconciliation with the longbourn family he had

a wife in view, as he meant to choose one of the daughters, if he found

them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report.

this was his plan of amends--of atonement--for inheriting their father's

estate; and he thought it an excellent one, full of eligibility and

suitableness, and excessively generous and disinterested on his own

part.

his plan did not vary on seeing them. miss bennet's lovely face

confirmed his views, and established all his strictest notions of what

was due to seniority; and for the first evening _she_ was his settled

choice. the next morning, however, made an alteration; for in a

quarter of an hour's tete-a-tete with mrs. bennet before breakfast, a

conversation beginning with his parsonage-house, and leading naturally

to the avowal of his hopes, that a mistress might be found for it at

longbourn, produced from her, amid very complaisant smiles and general

encouragement, a caution against the very jane he had fixed on. "as to

her _younger_ daughters, she could not take upon her to say--she could

not positively answer--but she did not _know_ of any prepossession; her

_eldest_ daughter, she must just mention--she felt it incumbent on her

to hint, was likely to be very soon engaged."

mr. collins had only to change from jane to elizabeth--and it was soon

done--done while mrs. bennet was stirring the fire. elizabeth, equally

next to jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of course.

mrs. bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have

two daughters married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of

the day before was now high in her good graces.

lydia's intention of walking to meryton was not forgotten; every sister

except mary agreed to go with her; and mr. collins was to attend them,

at the request of mr. bennet, who was most anxious to get rid of him,

and have his library to himself; for thither mr. collins had followed

him after breakfast; and there he would continue, nominally engaged with

one of the largest folios in the collection, but really talking to mr.

bennet, with little cessation, of his house and garden at hunsford. such

doings discomposed mr. bennet exceedingly. in his library he had been

always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told

elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the

house, he was used to be free from them there; his civility, therefore,

was most prompt in inviting mr. collins to join his daughters in their

walk; and mr. collins, being in fact much better fitted for a walker

than a reader, was extremely pleased to close his large book, and go.

in pompous nothings on his side, and civil assents on that of his

cousins, their time passed till they entered meryton. the attention of

the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him. their eyes were

immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers, and

nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed, or a really new muslin in

a shop window, could recall them.

but the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man, whom

they had never seen before, of most gentlemanlike appearance, walking

with another officer on the other side of the way. the officer was

the very mr. denny concerning whose return from london lydia came

to inquire, and he bowed as they passed. all were struck with the

stranger's air, all wondered who he could be; and kitty and lydia,

determined if possible to find out, led the way across the street, under

pretense of wanting something in an opposite shop, and fortunately

had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen, turning back, had

reached the same spot. mr. denny addressed them directly, and entreated

permission to introduce his friend, mr. wickham, who had returned with

him the day before from town, and he was happy to say had accepted a

commission in their corps. this was exactly as it should be; for the

young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming.

his appearance was greatly in his favour; he had all the best part of

beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure, and very pleasing address.

the introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness

of conversation--a readiness at the same time perfectly correct and

unassuming; and the whole party were still standing and talking together

very agreeably, when the sound of horses drew their notice, and darcy

and bingley were seen riding down the street. on distinguishing the

ladies of the group, the two gentlemen came directly towards them, and

began the usual civilities. bingley was the principal spokesman, and

miss bennet the principal object. he was then, he said, on his way to

longbourn on purpose to inquire after her. mr. darcy corroborated

it with a bow, and was beginning to determine not to fix his eyes

on elizabeth, when they were suddenly arrested by the sight of the

stranger, and elizabeth happening to see the countenance of both as they

looked at each other, was all astonishment at the effect of the meeting.

both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. mr. wickham,

after a few moments, touched his hat--a salutation which mr. darcy just

deigned to return. what could be the meaning of it? it was impossible to

imagine; it was impossible not to long to know.

in another minute, mr. bingley, but without seeming to have noticed what

passed, took leave and rode on with his friend.

mr. denny and mr. wickham walked with the young ladies to the door of

mr. phillip's house, and then made their bows, in spite of miss lydia's

pressing entreaties that they should come in, and even in spite of

mrs. phillips's throwing up the parlour window and loudly seconding the

invitation.

mrs. phillips was always glad to see her nieces; and the two eldest,

from their recent absence, were particularly welcome, and she was

eagerly expressing her surprise at their sudden return home, which, as

their own carriage had not fetched them, she should have known nothing

about, if she had not happened to see mr. jones's shop-boy in the

street, who had told her that they were not to send any more draughts to

netherfield because the miss bennets were come away, when her civility

was claimed towards mr. collins by jane's introduction of him. she

received him with her very best politeness, which he returned with

as much more, apologising for his intrusion, without any previous

acquaintance with her, which he could not help flattering himself,

however, might be justified by his relationship to the young ladies who

introduced him to her notice. mrs. phillips was quite awed by such an

excess of good breeding; but her contemplation of one stranger was soon

put to an end by exclamations and inquiries about the other; of whom,

however, she could only tell her nieces what they already knew, that

mr. denny had brought him from london, and that he was to have a

lieutenant's commission in the ----shire. she had been watching him the

last hour, she said, as he walked up and down the street, and had mr.

wickham appeared, kitty and lydia would certainly have continued the

occupation, but unluckily no one passed windows now except a few of the

officers, who, in comparison with the stranger, were become "stupid,

disagreeable fellows." some of them were to dine with the phillipses

the next day, and their aunt promised to make her husband call on mr.

wickham, and give him an invitation also, if the family from longbourn

would come in the evening. this was agreed to, and mrs. phillips

protested that they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery

tickets, and a little bit of hot supper afterwards. the prospect of such

delights was very cheering, and they parted in mutual good spirits. mr.

collins repeated his apologies in quitting the room, and was assured

with unwearying civility that they were perfectly needless.

as they walked home, elizabeth related to jane what she had seen pass

between the two gentlemen; but though jane would have defended either

or both, had they appeared to be in the wrong, she could no more explain

such behaviour than her sister.

mr. collins on his return highly gratified mrs. bennet by admiring

mrs. phillips's manners and politeness. he protested that, except lady

catherine and her daughter, he had never seen a more elegant woman;

for she had not only received him with the utmost civility, but even

pointedly included him in her invitation for the next evening, although

utterly unknown to her before. something, he supposed, might be

attributed to his connection with them, but yet he had never met with so

much attention in the whole course of his life.

chapter 16

as no objection was made to the young people's engagement with their

aunt, and all mr. collins's scruples of leaving mr. and mrs. bennet for

a single evening during his visit were most steadily resisted, the coach

conveyed him and his five cousins at a suitable hour to meryton; and

the girls had the pleasure of hearing, as they entered the drawing-room,

that mr. wickham had accepted their uncle's invitation, and was then in

the house.

when this information was given, and they had all taken their seats, mr.

collins was at leisure to look around him and admire, and he was so much

struck with the size and furniture of the apartment, that he declared he

might almost have supposed himself in the small summer breakfast

parlour at rosings; a comparison that did not at first convey much

gratification; but when mrs. phillips understood from him what

rosings was, and who was its proprietor--when she had listened to the

description of only one of lady catherine's drawing-rooms, and found

that the chimney-piece alone had cost eight hundred pounds, she felt all

the force of the compliment, and would hardly have resented a comparison

with the housekeeper's room.

in describing to her all the grandeur of lady catherine and her mansion,

with occasional digressions in praise of his own humble abode, and

the improvements it was receiving, he was happily employed until the

gentlemen joined them; and he found in mrs. phillips a very attentive

listener, whose opinion of his consequence increased with what she

heard, and who was resolving to retail it all among her neighbours as

soon as she could. to the girls, who could not listen to their cousin,

and who had nothing to do but to wish for an instrument, and examine

their own indifferent imitations of china on the mantelpiece, the

interval of waiting appeared very long. it was over at last, however.

the gentlemen did approach, and when mr. wickham walked into the room,

elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before, nor thinking

of him since, with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration.

the officers of the ----shire were in general a very creditable,

gentlemanlike set, and the best of them were of the present party; but

mr. wickham was as far beyond them all in person, countenance, air, and

walk, as _they_ were superior to the broad-faced, stuffy uncle phillips,

breathing port wine, who followed them into the room.

mr. wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was

turned, and elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated

himself; and the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into

conversation, though it was only on its being a wet night, made her feel

that the commonest, dullest, most threadbare topic might be rendered

interesting by the skill of the speaker.

with such rivals for the notice of the fair as mr. wickham and the

officers, mr. collins seemed to sink into insignificance; to the young

ladies he certainly was nothing; but he had still at intervals a kind

listener in mrs. phillips, and was by her watchfulness, most abundantly

supplied with coffee and muffin. when the card-tables were placed, he

had the opportunity of obliging her in turn, by sitting down to whist.

"i know little of the game at present," said he, "but i shall be glad

to improve myself, for in my situation in life--" mrs. phillips was very

glad for his compliance, but could not wait for his reason.

mr. wickham did not play at whist, and with ready delight was he

received at the other table between elizabeth and lydia. at first there

seemed danger of lydia's engrossing him entirely, for she was a most

determined talker; but being likewise extremely fond of lottery tickets,

she soon grew too much interested in the game, too eager in making bets

and exclaiming after prizes to have attention for anyone in particular.

allowing for the common demands of the game, mr. wickham was therefore

at leisure to talk to elizabeth, and she was very willing to hear

him, though what she chiefly wished to hear she could not hope to be

told--the history of his acquaintance with mr. darcy. she dared not

even mention that gentleman. her curiosity, however, was unexpectedly

relieved. mr. wickham began the subject himself. he inquired how far

netherfield was from meryton; and, after receiving her answer, asked in

a hesitating manner how long mr. darcy had been staying there.

"about a month," said elizabeth; and then, unwilling to let the subject

drop, added, "he is a man of very large property in derbyshire, i

understand."

"yes," replied mr. wickham; "his estate there is a noble one. a clear

ten thousand per annum. you could not have met with a person more

capable of giving you certain information on that head than myself, for

i have been connected with his family in a particular manner from my

infancy."

elizabeth could not but look surprised.

"you may well be surprised, miss bennet, at such an assertion, after

seeing, as you probably might, the very cold manner of our meeting

yesterday. are you much acquainted with mr. darcy?"

"as much as i ever wish to be," cried elizabeth very warmly. "i have

spent four days in the same house with him, and i think him very

disagreeable."

"i have no right to give _my_ opinion," said wickham, "as to his being

agreeable or otherwise. i am not qualified to form one. i have known him

too long and too well to be a fair judge. it is impossible for _me_

to be impartial. but i believe your opinion of him would in general

astonish--and perhaps you would not express it quite so strongly

anywhere else. here you are in your own family."

"upon my word, i say no more _here_ than i might say in any house in

the neighbourhood, except netherfield. he is not at all liked in

hertfordshire. everybody is disgusted with his pride. you will not find

him more favourably spoken of by anyone."

"i cannot pretend to be sorry," said wickham, after a short

interruption, "that he or that any man should not be estimated beyond

their deserts; but with _him_ i believe it does not often happen. the

world is blinded by his fortune and consequence, or frightened by his

high and imposing manners, and sees him only as he chooses to be seen."

"i should take him, even on _my_ slight acquaintance, to be an

ill-tempered man." wickham only shook his head.

"i wonder," said he, at the next opportunity of speaking, "whether he is

likely to be in this country much longer."

"i do not at all know; but i _heard_ nothing of his going away when i

was at netherfield. i hope your plans in favour of the ----shire will

not be affected by his being in the neighbourhood."

"oh! no--it is not for _me_ to be driven away by mr. darcy. if _he_

wishes to avoid seeing _me_, he must go. we are not on friendly terms,

and it always gives me pain to meet him, but i have no reason for

avoiding _him_ but what i might proclaim before all the world, a sense

of very great ill-usage, and most painful regrets at his being what he

is. his father, miss bennet, the late mr. darcy, was one of the best men

that ever breathed, and the truest friend i ever had; and i can never

be in company with this mr. darcy without being grieved to the soul by

a thousand tender recollections. his behaviour to myself has been

scandalous; but i verily believe i could forgive him anything and

everything, rather than his disappointing the hopes and disgracing the

memory of his father."

elizabeth found the interest of the subject increase, and listened with

all her heart; but the delicacy of it prevented further inquiry.

mr. wickham began to speak on more general topics, meryton, the

neighbourhood, the society, appearing highly pleased with all that

he had yet seen, and speaking of the latter with gentle but very

intelligible gallantry.

"it was the prospect of constant society, and good society," he added,

"which was my chief inducement to enter the ----shire. i knew it to be

a most respectable, agreeable corps, and my friend denny tempted me

further by his account of their present quarters, and the very great

attentions and excellent acquaintances meryton had procured them.

society, i own, is necessary to me. i have been a disappointed man, and

my spirits will not bear solitude. i _must_ have employment and society.

a military life is not what i was intended for, but circumstances have

now made it eligible. the church _ought_ to have been my profession--i

was brought up for the church, and i should at this time have been in

possession of a most valuable living, had it pleased the gentleman we

were speaking of just now."

"indeed!"

"yes--the late mr. darcy bequeathed me the next presentation of the best

living in his gift. he was my godfather, and excessively attached to me.

i cannot do justice to his kindness. he meant to provide for me amply,

and thought he had done it; but when the living fell, it was given

elsewhere."

"good heavens!" cried elizabeth; "but how could _that_ be? how could his

will be disregarded? why did you not seek legal redress?"

"there was just such an informality in the terms of the bequest as to

give me no hope from law. a man of honour could not have doubted the

intention, but mr. darcy chose to doubt it--or to treat it as a merely

conditional recommendation, and to assert that i had forfeited all claim

to it by extravagance, imprudence--in short anything or nothing. certain

it is, that the living became vacant two years ago, exactly as i was

of an age to hold it, and that it was given to another man; and no

less certain is it, that i cannot accuse myself of having really done

anything to deserve to lose it. i have a warm, unguarded temper, and

i may have spoken my opinion _of_ him, and _to_ him, too freely. i can

recall nothing worse. but the fact is, that we are very different sort

of men, and that he hates me."

"this is quite shocking! he deserves to be publicly disgraced."

"some time or other he _will_ be--but it shall not be by _me_. till i

can forget his father, i can never defy or expose _him_."

elizabeth honoured him for such feelings, and thought him handsomer than

ever as he expressed them.

"but what," said she, after a pause, "can have been his motive? what can

have induced him to behave so cruelly?"

"a thorough, determined dislike of me--a dislike which i cannot but

attribute in some measure to jealousy. had the late mr. darcy liked me

less, his son might have borne with me better; but his father's uncommon

attachment to me irritated him, i believe, very early in life. he had

not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stood--the sort

of preference which was often given me."

"i had not thought mr. darcy so bad as this--though i have never liked

him. i had not thought so very ill of him. i had supposed him to be

despising his fellow-creatures in general, but did not suspect him of

descending to such malicious revenge, such injustice, such inhumanity as

this."

after a few minutes' reflection, however, she continued, "i _do_

remember his boasting one day, at netherfield, of the implacability of

his resentments, of his having an unforgiving temper. his disposition

must be dreadful."

"i will not trust myself on the subject," replied wickham; "i can hardly

be just to him."

elizabeth was again deep in thought, and after a time exclaimed, "to

treat in such a manner the godson, the friend, the favourite of his

father!" she could have added, "a young man, too, like _you_, whose very

countenance may vouch for your being amiable"--but she contented herself

with, "and one, too, who had probably been his companion from childhood,

connected together, as i think you said, in the closest manner!"

"we were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest

part of our youth was passed together; inmates of the same house,

sharing the same amusements, objects of the same parental care. _my_

father began life in the profession which your uncle, mr. phillips,

appears to do so much credit to--but he gave up everything to be of

use to the late mr. darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the

pemberley property. he was most highly esteemed by mr. darcy, a most

intimate, confidential friend. mr. darcy often acknowledged himself to

be under the greatest obligations to my father's active superintendence,

and when, immediately before my father's death, mr. darcy gave him a

voluntary promise of providing for me, i am convinced that he felt it to

be as much a debt of gratitude to _him_, as of his affection to myself."

"how strange!" cried elizabeth. "how abominable! i wonder that the very

pride of this mr. darcy has not made him just to you! if from no better

motive, that he should not have been too proud to be dishonest--for

dishonesty i must call it."

"it _is_ wonderful," replied wickham, "for almost all his actions may

be traced to pride; and pride had often been his best friend. it has

connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling. but we are

none of us consistent, and in his behaviour to me there were stronger

impulses even than pride."

"can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good?"

"yes. it has often led him to be liberal and generous, to give his money

freely, to display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the

poor. family pride, and _filial_ pride--for he is very proud of what

his father was--have done this. not to appear to disgrace his family,

to degenerate from the popular qualities, or lose the influence of the

pemberley house, is a powerful motive. he has also _brotherly_ pride,

which, with _some_ brotherly affection, makes him a very kind and

careful guardian of his sister, and you will hear him generally cried up

as the most attentive and best of brothers."

"what sort of girl is miss darcy?"

he shook his head. "i wish i could call her amiable. it gives me pain to

speak ill of a darcy. but she is too much like her brother--very, very

proud. as a child, she was affectionate and pleasing, and extremely fond

of me; and i have devoted hours and hours to her amusement. but she is

nothing to me now. she is a handsome girl, about fifteen or sixteen,

and, i understand, highly accomplished. since her father's death, her

home has been london, where a lady lives with her, and superintends her

education."

after many pauses and many trials of other subjects, elizabeth could not

help reverting once more to the first, and saying:

"i am astonished at his intimacy with mr. bingley! how can mr. bingley,

who seems good humour itself, and is, i really believe, truly amiable,

be in friendship with such a man? how can they suit each other? do you

know mr. bingley?"

"not at all."

"he is a sweet-tempered, amiable, charming man. he cannot know what mr.

darcy is."

"probably not; but mr. darcy can please where he chooses. he does not

want abilities. he can be a conversible companion if he thinks it worth

his while. among those who are at all his equals in consequence, he is

a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous. his

pride never deserts him; but with the rich he is liberal-minded, just,

sincere, rational, honourable, and perhaps agreeable--allowing something

for fortune and figure."

the whist party soon afterwards breaking up, the players gathered round

the other table and mr. collins took his station between his cousin

elizabeth and mrs. phillips. the usual inquiries as to his success were

made by the latter. it had not been very great; he had lost every

point; but when mrs. phillips began to express her concern thereupon,

he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least

importance, that he considered the money as a mere trifle, and begged

that she would not make herself uneasy.

"i know very well, madam," said he, "that when persons sit down to a

card-table, they must take their chances of these things, and happily i

am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object. there

are undoubtedly many who could not say the same, but thanks to lady

catherine de bourgh, i am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding

little matters."

mr. wickham's attention was caught; and after observing mr. collins for

a few moments, he asked elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation

was very intimately acquainted with the family of de bourgh.

"lady catherine de bourgh," she replied, "has very lately given him

a living. i hardly know how mr. collins was first introduced to her

notice, but he certainly has not known her long."

"you know of course that lady catherine de bourgh and lady anne darcy

were sisters; consequently that she is aunt to the present mr. darcy."

"no, indeed, i did not. i knew nothing at all of lady catherine's

connections. i never heard of her existence till the day before

yesterday."

"her daughter, miss de bourgh, will have a very large fortune, and it is

believed that she and her cousin will unite the two estates."

this information made elizabeth smile, as she thought of poor miss

bingley. vain indeed must be all her attentions, vain and useless her

affection for his sister and her praise of himself, if he were already

self-destined for another.

"mr. collins," said she, "speaks highly both of lady catherine and her

daughter; but from some particulars that he has related of her ladyship,

i suspect his gratitude misleads him, and that in spite of her being his

patroness, she is an arrogant, conceited woman."

"i believe her to be both in a great degree," replied wickham; "i have

not seen her for many years, but i very well remember that i never liked

her, and that her manners were dictatorial and insolent. she has the

reputation of being remarkably sensible and clever; but i rather believe

she derives part of her abilities from her rank and fortune, part from

her authoritative manner, and the rest from the pride for her

nephew, who chooses that everyone connected with him should have an

understanding of the first class."

elizabeth allowed that he had given a very rational account of it, and

they continued talking together, with mutual satisfaction till supper

put an end to cards, and gave the rest of the ladies their share of mr.

wickham's attentions. there could be no conversation in the noise

of mrs. phillips's supper party, but his manners recommended him to

everybody. whatever he said, was said well; and whatever he did, done

gracefully. elizabeth went away with her head full of him. she could

think of nothing but of mr. wickham, and of what he had told her, all

the way home; but there was not time for her even to mention his name

as they went, for neither lydia nor mr. collins were once silent. lydia

talked incessantly of lottery tickets, of the fish she had lost and the

fish she had won; and mr. collins in describing the civility of mr. and

mrs. phillips, protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses

at whist, enumerating all the dishes at supper, and repeatedly fearing

that he crowded his cousins, had more to say than he could well manage

before the carriage stopped at longbourn house.

chapter 17

elizabeth related to jane the next day what had passed between mr.

wickham and herself. jane listened with astonishment and concern; she

knew not how to believe that mr. darcy could be so unworthy of mr.

bingley's regard; and yet, it was not in her nature to question the

veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as wickham. the

possibility of his having endured such unkindness, was enough to

interest all her tender feelings; and nothing remained therefore to be

done, but to think well of them both, to defend the conduct of each,

and throw into the account of accident or mistake whatever could not be

otherwise explained.

"they have both," said she, "been deceived, i dare say, in some way

or other, of which we can form no idea. interested people have perhaps

misrepresented each to the other. it is, in short, impossible for us to

conjecture the causes or circumstances which may have alienated them,

without actual blame on either side."

"very true, indeed; and now, my dear jane, what have you got to say on

behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the

business? do clear _them_ too, or we shall be obliged to think ill of

somebody."

"laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my

opinion. my dearest lizzy, do but consider in what a disgraceful light

it places mr. darcy, to be treating his father's favourite in such

a manner, one whom his father had promised to provide for. it is

impossible. no man of common humanity, no man who had any value for his

character, could be capable of it. can his most intimate friends be so

excessively deceived in him? oh! no."

"i can much more easily believe mr. bingley's being imposed on, than

that mr. wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me

last night; names, facts, everything mentioned without ceremony. if it

be not so, let mr. darcy contradict it. besides, there was truth in his

looks."

"it is difficult indeed--it is distressing. one does not know what to

think."

"i beg your pardon; one knows exactly what to think."

but jane could think with certainty on only one point--that mr. bingley,

if he _had_ been imposed on, would have much to suffer when the affair

became public.

the two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery, where this

conversation passed, by the arrival of the very persons of whom they had

been speaking; mr. bingley and his sisters came to give their personal

invitation for the long-expected ball at netherfield, which was fixed

for the following tuesday. the two ladies were delighted to see their

dear friend again, called it an age since they had met, and repeatedly

asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation. to

the rest of the family they paid little attention; avoiding mrs. bennet

as much as possible, saying not much to elizabeth, and nothing at all to

the others. they were soon gone again, rising from their seats with an

activity which took their brother by surprise, and hurrying off as if

eager to escape from mrs. bennet's civilities.

the prospect of the netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every

female of the family. mrs. bennet chose to consider it as given in

compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered

by receiving the invitation from mr. bingley himself, instead of a

ceremonious card. jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the

society of her two friends, and the attentions of their brother; and

elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with mr.

wickham, and of seeing a confirmation of everything in mr. darcy's look

and behaviour. the happiness anticipated by catherine and lydia depended

less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they

each, like elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with mr. wickham,

he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball

was, at any rate, a ball. and even mary could assure her family that she

had no disinclination for it.

"while i can have my mornings to myself," said she, "it is enough--i

think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements.

society has claims on us all; and i profess myself one of those

who consider intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for

everybody."

elizabeth's spirits were so high on this occasion, that though she did

not often speak unnecessarily to mr. collins, she could not help asking

him whether he intended to accept mr. bingley's invitation, and if

he did, whether he would think it proper to join in the evening's

amusement; and she was rather surprised to find that he entertained no

scruple whatever on that head, and was very far from dreading a rebuke

either from the archbishop, or lady catherine de bourgh, by venturing to

dance.

"i am by no means of the opinion, i assure you," said he, "that a ball

of this kind, given by a young man of character, to respectable people,

can have any evil tendency; and i am so far from objecting to dancing

myself, that i shall hope to be honoured with the hands of all my fair

cousins in the course of the evening; and i take this opportunity of

soliciting yours, miss elizabeth, for the two first dances especially,

a preference which i trust my cousin jane will attribute to the right

cause, and not to any disrespect for her."

elizabeth felt herself completely taken in. she had fully proposed being

engaged by mr. wickham for those very dances; and to have mr. collins

instead! her liveliness had never been worse timed. there was no help

for it, however. mr. wickham's happiness and her own were perforce

delayed a little longer, and mr. collins's proposal accepted with as

good a grace as she could. she was not the better pleased with his

gallantry from the idea it suggested of something more. it now first

struck her, that _she_ was selected from among her sisters as worthy

of being mistress of hunsford parsonage, and of assisting to form a

quadrille table at rosings, in the absence of more eligible visitors.

the idea soon reached to conviction, as she observed his increasing

civilities toward herself, and heard his frequent attempt at a

compliment on her wit and vivacity; and though more astonished than

gratified herself by this effect of her charms, it was not long before

her mother gave her to understand that the probability of their marriage

was extremely agreeable to _her_. elizabeth, however, did not choose

to take the hint, being well aware that a serious dispute must be the

consequence of any reply. mr. collins might never make the offer, and

till he did, it was useless to quarrel about him.

if there had not been a netherfield ball to prepare for and talk of, the

younger miss bennets would have been in a very pitiable state at this

time, for from the day of the invitation, to the day of the ball, there

was such a succession of rain as prevented their walking to meryton

once. no aunt, no officers, no news could be sought after--the very

shoe-roses for netherfield were got by proxy. even elizabeth might have

found some trial of her patience in weather which totally suspended the

improvement of her acquaintance with mr. wickham; and nothing less than

a dance on tuesday, could have made such a friday, saturday, sunday, and

monday endurable to kitty and lydia.

chapter 18

till elizabeth entered the drawing-room at netherfield, and looked in

vain for mr. wickham among the cluster of red coats there assembled, a

doubt of his being present had never occurred to her. the certainty

of meeting him had not been checked by any of those recollections that

might not unreasonably have alarmed her. she had dressed with more than

usual care, and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all

that remained unsubdued of his heart, trusting that it was not more than

might be won in the course of the evening. but in an instant arose

the dreadful suspicion of his being purposely omitted for mr. darcy's

pleasure in the bingleys' invitation to the officers; and though

this was not exactly the case, the absolute fact of his absence was

pronounced by his friend denny, to whom lydia eagerly applied, and who

told them that wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the

day before, and was not yet returned; adding, with a significant smile,

"i do not imagine his business would have called him away just now, if

he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here."

this part of his intelligence, though unheard by lydia, was caught by

elizabeth, and, as it assured her that darcy was not less answerable for

wickham's absence than if her first surmise had been just, every

feeling of displeasure against the former was so sharpened by immediate

disappointment, that she could hardly reply with tolerable civility to

the polite inquiries which he directly afterwards approached to make.

attendance, forbearance, patience with darcy, was injury to wickham. she

was resolved against any sort of conversation with him, and turned away

with a degree of ill-humour which she could not wholly surmount even in

speaking to mr. bingley, whose blind partiality provoked her.

but elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect

of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her

spirits; and having told all her griefs to charlotte lucas, whom she had

not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition

to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular

notice. the first two dances, however, brought a return of distress;

they were dances of mortification. mr. collins, awkward and solemn,

apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being

aware of it, gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable

partner for a couple of dances can give. the moment of her release from

him was ecstasy.

she danced next with an officer, and had the refreshment of talking of

wickham, and of hearing that he was universally liked. when those dances

were over, she returned to charlotte lucas, and was in conversation with

her, when she found herself suddenly addressed by mr. darcy who took

her so much by surprise in his application for her hand, that,

without knowing what she did, she accepted him. he walked away again

immediately, and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of

mind; charlotte tried to console her:

"i dare say you will find him very agreeable."

"heaven forbid! _that_ would be the greatest misfortune of all! to find

a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! do not wish me such an

evil."

when the dancing recommenced, however, and darcy approached to claim her

hand, charlotte could not help cautioning her in a whisper, not to be a

simpleton, and allow her fancy for wickham to make her appear unpleasant

in the eyes of a man ten times his consequence. elizabeth made no

answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to which

she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to mr. darcy, and

reading in her neighbours' looks, their equal amazement in beholding

it. they stood for some time without speaking a word; and she began to

imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances, and at

first was resolved not to break it; till suddenly fancying that it would

be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk, she made

some slight observation on the dance. he replied, and was again

silent. after a pause of some minutes, she addressed him a second time

with:--"it is _your_ turn to say something now, mr. darcy. i talked

about the dance, and _you_ ought to make some sort of remark on the size

of the room, or the number of couples."

he smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be

said.

"very well. that reply will do for the present. perhaps by and by i may

observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. but

_now_ we may be silent."

"do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?"

"sometimes. one must speak a little, you know. it would look odd to be

entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet for the advantage of

_some_, conversation ought to be so arranged, as that they may have the

trouble of saying as little as possible."

"are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you

imagine that you are gratifying mine?"

"both," replied elizabeth archly; "for i have always seen a great

similarity in the turn of our minds. we are each of an unsocial,

taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say

something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to

posterity with all the eclat of a proverb."

"this is no very striking resemblance of your own character, i am sure,"

said he. "how near it may be to _mine_, i cannot pretend to say. _you_

think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly."

"i must not decide on my own performance."

he made no answer, and they were again silent till they had gone down

the dance, when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often

walk to meryton. she answered in the affirmative, and, unable to resist

the temptation, added, "when you met us there the other day, we had just

been forming a new acquaintance."

the effect was immediate. a deeper shade of _hauteur_ overspread his

features, but he said not a word, and elizabeth, though blaming herself

for her own weakness, could not go on. at length darcy spoke, and in a

constrained manner said, "mr. wickham is blessed with such happy manners

as may ensure his _making_ friends--whether he may be equally capable of

_retaining_ them, is less certain."

"he has been so unlucky as to lose _your_ friendship," replied elizabeth

with emphasis, "and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all

his life."

darcy made no answer, and seemed desirous of changing the subject. at

that moment, sir william lucas appeared close to them, meaning to pass

through the set to the other side of the room; but on perceiving mr.

darcy, he stopped with a bow of superior courtesy to compliment him on

his dancing and his partner.

"i have been most highly gratified indeed, my dear sir. such very

superior dancing is not often seen. it is evident that you belong to the

first circles. allow me to say, however, that your fair partner does not

disgrace you, and that i must hope to have this pleasure often repeated,

especially when a certain desirable event, my dear eliza (glancing at

her sister and bingley) shall take place. what congratulations will then

flow in! i appeal to mr. darcy:--but let me not interrupt you, sir. you

will not thank me for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that

young lady, whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me."

the latter part of this address was scarcely heard by darcy; but sir

william's allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly, and his

eyes were directed with a very serious expression towards bingley and

jane, who were dancing together. recovering himself, however, shortly,

he turned to his partner, and said, "sir william's interruption has made

me forget what we were talking of."

"i do not think we were speaking at all. sir william could not have

interrupted two people in the room who had less to say for themselves.

we have tried two or three subjects already without success, and what we

are to talk of next i cannot imagine."

"what think you of books?" said he, smiling.

"books--oh! no. i am sure we never read the same, or not with the same

feelings."

"i am sorry you think so; but if that be the case, there can at least be

no want of subject. we may compare our different opinions."

"no--i cannot talk of books in a ball-room; my head is always full of

something else."

"the _present_ always occupies you in such scenes--does it?" said he,

with a look of doubt.

"yes, always," she replied, without knowing what she said, for her

thoughts had wandered far from the subject, as soon afterwards appeared

by her suddenly exclaiming, "i remember hearing you once say, mr. darcy,

that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was

unappeasable. you are very cautious, i suppose, as to its _being

created_."

"i am," said he, with a firm voice.

"and never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice?"

"i hope not."

"it is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion,

to be secure of judging properly at first."

"may i ask to what these questions tend?"

"merely to the illustration of _your_ character," said she, endeavouring

to shake off her gravity. "i am trying to make it out."

"and what is your success?"

she shook her head. "i do not get on at all. i hear such different

accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly."

"i can readily believe," answered he gravely, "that reports may vary

greatly with respect to me; and i could wish, miss bennet, that you were

not to sketch my character at the present moment, as there is reason to

fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either."

"but if i do not take your likeness now, i may never have another

opportunity."

"i would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours," he coldly replied.

she said no more, and they went down the other dance and parted in

silence; and on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree,

for in darcy's breast there was a tolerably powerful feeling towards

her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against

another.

they had not long separated, when miss bingley came towards her, and

with an expression of civil disdain accosted her:

"so, miss eliza, i hear you are quite delighted with george wickham!

your sister has been talking to me about him, and asking me a thousand

questions; and i find that the young man quite forgot to tell you, among

his other communication, that he was the son of old wickham, the late

mr. darcy's steward. let me recommend you, however, as a friend, not to

give implicit confidence to all his assertions; for as to mr. darcy's

using him ill, it is perfectly false; for, on the contrary, he has

always been remarkably kind to him, though george wickham has treated

mr. darcy in a most infamous manner. i do not know the particulars, but

i know very well that mr. darcy is not in the least to blame, that he

cannot bear to hear george wickham mentioned, and that though my brother

thought that he could not well avoid including him in his invitation to

the officers, he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself

out of the way. his coming into the country at all is a most insolent

thing, indeed, and i wonder how he could presume to do it. i pity you,

miss eliza, for this discovery of your favourite's guilt; but really,

considering his descent, one could not expect much better."

"his guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same," said

elizabeth angrily; "for i have heard you accuse him of nothing worse

than of being the son of mr. darcy's steward, and of _that_, i can

assure you, he informed me himself."

"i beg your pardon," replied miss bingley, turning away with a sneer.

"excuse my interference--it was kindly meant."

"insolent girl!" said elizabeth to herself. "you are much mistaken

if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this. i see

nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of mr.

darcy." she then sought her eldest sister, who had undertaken to make

inquiries on the same subject of bingley. jane met her with a smile of

such sweet complacency, a glow of such happy expression, as sufficiently

marked how well she was satisfied with the occurrences of the evening.

elizabeth instantly read her feelings, and at that moment solicitude for

wickham, resentment against his enemies, and everything else, gave way

before the hope of jane's being in the fairest way for happiness.

"i want to know," said she, with a countenance no less smiling than her

sister's, "what you have learnt about mr. wickham. but perhaps you have

been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person; in which case

you may be sure of my pardon."

"no," replied jane, "i have not forgotten him; but i have nothing

satisfactory to tell you. mr. bingley does not know the whole of

his history, and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have

principally offended mr. darcy; but he will vouch for the good conduct,

the probity, and honour of his friend, and is perfectly convinced that

mr. wickham has deserved much less attention from mr. darcy than he has

received; and i am sorry to say by his account as well as his sister's,

mr. wickham is by no means a respectable young man. i am afraid he has

been very imprudent, and has deserved to lose mr. darcy's regard."

"mr. bingley does not know mr. wickham himself?"

"no; he never saw him till the other morning at meryton."

"this account then is what he has received from mr. darcy. i am

satisfied. but what does he say of the living?"

"he does not exactly recollect the circumstances, though he has heard

them from mr. darcy more than once, but he believes that it was left to

him _conditionally_ only."

"i have not a doubt of mr. bingley's sincerity," said elizabeth warmly;

"but you must excuse my not being convinced by assurances only. mr.

bingley's defense of his friend was a very able one, i dare say; but

since he is unacquainted with several parts of the story, and has learnt

the rest from that friend himself, i shall venture to still think of

both gentlemen as i did before."

she then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each, and on

which there could be no difference of sentiment. elizabeth listened with

delight to the happy, though modest hopes which jane entertained of mr.

bingley's regard, and said all in her power to heighten her confidence

in it. on their being joined by mr. bingley himself, elizabeth withdrew

to miss lucas; to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last

partner she had scarcely replied, before mr. collins came up to them,

and told her with great exultation that he had just been so fortunate as

to make a most important discovery.

"i have found out," said he, "by a singular accident, that there is now

in the room a near relation of my patroness. i happened to overhear the

gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the honours of

the house the names of his cousin miss de bourgh, and of her mother lady

catherine. how wonderfully these sort of things occur! who would have

thought of my meeting with, perhaps, a nephew of lady catherine de

bourgh in this assembly! i am most thankful that the discovery is made

in time for me to pay my respects to him, which i am now going to

do, and trust he will excuse my not having done it before. my total

ignorance of the connection must plead my apology."

"you are not going to introduce yourself to mr. darcy!"

"indeed i am. i shall entreat his pardon for not having done it earlier.

i believe him to be lady catherine's _nephew_. it will be in my power to

assure him that her ladyship was quite well yesterday se'nnight."

elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme, assuring him

that mr. darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction

as an impertinent freedom, rather than a compliment to his aunt; that

it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either

side; and that if it were, it must belong to mr. darcy, the superior in

consequence, to begin the acquaintance. mr. collins listened to her

with the determined air of following his own inclination, and, when she

ceased speaking, replied thus:

"my dear miss elizabeth, i have the highest opinion in the world in

your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your

understanding; but permit me to say, that there must be a wide

difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity,

and those which regulate the clergy; for, give me leave to observe that

i consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with

the highest rank in the kingdom--provided that a proper humility of

behaviour is at the same time maintained. you must therefore allow me to

follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion, which leads me to

perform what i look on as a point of duty. pardon me for neglecting to

profit by your advice, which on every other subject shall be my constant

guide, though in the case before us i consider myself more fitted by

education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young

lady like yourself." and with a low bow he left her to attack mr.

darcy, whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched, and whose

astonishment at being so addressed was very evident. her cousin prefaced

his speech with a solemn bow and though she could not hear a word of

it, she felt as if hearing it all, and saw in the motion of his lips the

words "apology," "hunsford," and "lady catherine de bourgh." it vexed

her to see him expose himself to such a man. mr. darcy was eyeing him

with unrestrained wonder, and when at last mr. collins allowed him time

to speak, replied with an air of distant civility. mr. collins, however,

was not discouraged from speaking again, and mr. darcy's contempt seemed

abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech, and at the

end of it he only made him a slight bow, and moved another way. mr.

collins then returned to elizabeth.

"i have no reason, i assure you," said he, "to be dissatisfied with my

reception. mr. darcy seemed much pleased with the attention. he answered

me with the utmost civility, and even paid me the compliment of saying

that he was so well convinced of lady catherine's discernment as to be

certain she could never bestow a favour unworthily. it was really a very

handsome thought. upon the whole, i am much pleased with him."

as elizabeth had no longer any interest of her own to pursue, she turned

her attention almost entirely on her sister and mr. bingley; and the

train of agreeable reflections which her observations gave birth to,

made her perhaps almost as happy as jane. she saw her in idea settled in

that very house, in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection

could bestow; and she felt capable, under such circumstances, of

endeavouring even to like bingley's two sisters. her mother's thoughts

she plainly saw were bent the same way, and she determined not to

venture near her, lest she might hear too much. when they sat down to

supper, therefore, she considered it a most unlucky perverseness which

placed them within one of each other; and deeply was she vexed to find

that her mother was talking to that one person (lady lucas) freely,

openly, and of nothing else but her expectation that jane would soon

be married to mr. bingley. it was an animating subject, and mrs. bennet

seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the

match. his being such a charming young man, and so rich, and living but

three miles from them, were the first points of self-gratulation; and

then it was such a comfort to think how fond the two sisters were of

jane, and to be certain that they must desire the connection as much as

she could do. it was, moreover, such a promising thing for her younger

daughters, as jane's marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of

other rich men; and lastly, it was so pleasant at her time of life to be

able to consign her single daughters to the care of their sister, that

she might not be obliged to go into company more than she liked. it was

necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure, because on

such occasions it is the etiquette; but no one was less likely than mrs.

bennet to find comfort in staying home at any period of her life. she

concluded with many good wishes that lady lucas might soon be equally

fortunate, though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no

chance of it.

in vain did elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mother's

words, or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible

whisper; for, to her inexpressible vexation, she could perceive that the

chief of it was overheard by mr. darcy, who sat opposite to them. her

mother only scolded her for being nonsensical.

"what is mr. darcy to me, pray, that i should be afraid of him? i am

sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say

nothing _he_ may not like to hear."

"for heaven's sake, madam, speak lower. what advantage can it be for you

to offend mr. darcy? you will never recommend yourself to his friend by

so doing!"

nothing that she could say, however, had any influence. her mother would

talk of her views in the same intelligible tone. elizabeth blushed and

blushed again with shame and vexation. she could not help frequently

glancing her eye at mr. darcy, though every glance convinced her of what

she dreaded; for though he was not always looking at her mother, she was

convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her. the expression

of his face changed gradually from indignant contempt to a composed and

steady gravity.

at length, however, mrs. bennet had no more to say; and lady lucas, who

had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no

likelihood of sharing, was left to the comforts of cold ham and

chicken. elizabeth now began to revive. but not long was the interval of

tranquillity; for, when supper was over, singing was talked of, and

she had the mortification of seeing mary, after very little entreaty,

preparing to oblige the company. by many significant looks and silent

entreaties, did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance,

but in vain; mary would not understand them; such an opportunity of

exhibiting was delightful to her, and she began her song. elizabeth's

eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations, and she watched her

progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very

ill rewarded at their close; for mary, on receiving, amongst the thanks

of the table, the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to

favour them again, after the pause of half a minute began another.

mary's powers were by no means fitted for such a display; her voice was

weak, and her manner affected. elizabeth was in agonies. she looked at

jane, to see how she bore it; but jane was very composedly talking to

bingley. she looked at his two sisters, and saw them making signs

of derision at each other, and at darcy, who continued, however,

imperturbably grave. she looked at her father to entreat his

interference, lest mary should be singing all night. he took the hint,

and when mary had finished her second song, said aloud, "that will do

extremely well, child. you have delighted us long enough. let the other

young ladies have time to exhibit."

mary, though pretending not to hear, was somewhat disconcerted; and

elizabeth, sorry for her, and sorry for her father's speech, was afraid

her anxiety had done no good. others of the party were now applied to.

"if i," said mr. collins, "were so fortunate as to be able to sing, i

should have great pleasure, i am sure, in obliging the company with an

air; for i consider music as a very innocent diversion, and perfectly

compatible with the profession of a clergyman. i do not mean, however,

to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time

to music, for there are certainly other things to be attended to. the

rector of a parish has much to do. in the first place, he must make

such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not

offensive to his patron. he must write his own sermons; and the time

that remains will not be too much for his parish duties, and the care

and improvement of his dwelling, which he cannot be excused from making

as comfortable as possible. and i do not think it of light importance

that he should have attentive and conciliatory manners towards everybody,

especially towards those to whom he owes his preferment. i cannot acquit

him of that duty; nor could i think well of the man who should omit an

occasion of testifying his respect towards anybody connected with the

family." and with a bow to mr. darcy, he concluded his speech, which had

been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room. many stared--many

smiled; but no one looked more amused than mr. bennet himself, while his

wife seriously commended mr. collins for having spoken so sensibly,

and observed in a half-whisper to lady lucas, that he was a remarkably

clever, good kind of young man.

to elizabeth it appeared that, had her family made an agreement to

expose themselves as much as they could during the evening, it would

have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit or

finer success; and happy did she think it for bingley and her sister

that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice, and that his

feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he

must have witnessed. that his two sisters and mr. darcy, however, should

have such an opportunity of ridiculing her relations, was bad enough,

and she could not determine whether the silent contempt of the

gentleman, or the insolent smiles of the ladies, were more intolerable.

the rest of the evening brought her little amusement. she was teased by

mr. collins, who continued most perseveringly by her side, and though

he could not prevail on her to dance with him again, put it out of her

power to dance with others. in vain did she entreat him to stand up with

somebody else, and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room.

he assured her, that as to dancing, he was perfectly indifferent to it;

that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to

her and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her

the whole evening. there was no arguing upon such a project. she owed

her greatest relief to her friend miss lucas, who often joined them, and

good-naturedly engaged mr. collins's conversation to herself.

she was at least free from the offense of mr. darcy's further notice;

though often standing within a very short distance of her, quite

disengaged, he never came near enough to speak. she felt it to be the

probable consequence of her allusions to mr. wickham, and rejoiced in

it.

the longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart, and, by

a manoeuvre of mrs. bennet, had to wait for their carriage a quarter of

an hour after everybody else was gone, which gave them time to see how

heartily they were wished away by some of the family. mrs. hurst and her

sister scarcely opened their mouths, except to complain of fatigue, and

were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves. they repulsed

every attempt of mrs. bennet at conversation, and by so doing threw a

languor over the whole party, which was very little relieved by the

long speeches of mr. collins, who was complimenting mr. bingley and his

sisters on the elegance of their entertainment, and the hospitality and

politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests. darcy said

nothing at all. mr. bennet, in equal silence, was enjoying the scene.

mr. bingley and jane were standing together, a little detached from the

rest, and talked only to each other. elizabeth preserved as steady a

silence as either mrs. hurst or miss bingley; and even lydia was too

much fatigued to utter more than the occasional exclamation of "lord,

how tired i am!" accompanied by a violent yawn.

when at length they arose to take leave, mrs. bennet was most pressingly

civil in her hope of seeing the whole family soon at longbourn, and

addressed herself especially to mr. bingley, to assure him how happy he

would make them by eating a family dinner with them at any time, without

the ceremony of a formal invitation. bingley was all grateful pleasure,

and he readily engaged for taking the earliest opportunity of waiting on

her, after his return from london, whither he was obliged to go the next

day for a short time.

mrs. bennet was perfectly satisfied, and quitted the house under the

delightful persuasion that, allowing for the necessary preparations of

settlements, new carriages, and wedding clothes, she should undoubtedly

see her daughter settled at netherfield in the course of three or four

months. of having another daughter married to mr. collins, she thought

with equal certainty, and with considerable, though not equal, pleasure.

elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children; and though the

man and the match were quite good enough for _her_, the worth of each

was eclipsed by mr. bingley and netherfield.

chapter 19

the next day opened a new scene at longbourn. mr. collins made his

declaration in form. having resolved to do it without loss of time, as

his leave of absence extended only to the following saturday, and having

no feelings of diffidence to make it distressing to himself even at

the moment, he set about it in a very orderly manner, with all the

observances, which he supposed a regular part of the business. on

finding mrs. bennet, elizabeth, and one of the younger girls together,

soon after breakfast, he addressed the mother in these words:

"may i hope, madam, for your interest with your fair daughter elizabeth,

when i solicit for the honour of a private audience with her in the

course of this morning?"

before elizabeth had time for anything but a blush of surprise, mrs.

bennet answered instantly, "oh dear!--yes--certainly. i am sure lizzy

will be very happy--i am sure she can have no objection. come, kitty, i

want you up stairs." and, gathering her work together, she was hastening

away, when elizabeth called out:

"dear madam, do not go. i beg you will not go. mr. collins must excuse

me. he can have nothing to say to me that anybody need not hear. i am

going away myself."

"no, no, nonsense, lizzy. i desire you to stay where you are." and upon

elizabeth's seeming really, with vexed and embarrassed looks, about to

escape, she added: "lizzy, i _insist_ upon your staying and hearing mr.

collins."

elizabeth would not oppose such an injunction--and a moment's

consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it

over as soon and as quietly as possible, she sat down again and tried to

conceal, by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between

distress and diversion. mrs. bennet and kitty walked off, and as soon as

they were gone, mr. collins began.

"believe me, my dear miss elizabeth, that your modesty, so far from

doing you any disservice, rather adds to your other perfections. you

would have been less amiable in my eyes had there _not_ been this little

unwillingness; but allow me to assure you, that i have your respected

mother's permission for this address. you can hardly doubt the

purport of my discourse, however your natural delicacy may lead you to

dissemble; my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken. almost as

soon as i entered the house, i singled you out as the companion of

my future life. but before i am run away with by my feelings on this

subject, perhaps it would be advisable for me to state my reasons for

marrying--and, moreover, for coming into hertfordshire with the design

of selecting a wife, as i certainly did."

the idea of mr. collins, with all his solemn composure, being run away

with by his feelings, made elizabeth so near laughing, that she could

not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him further,

and he continued:

"my reasons for marrying are, first, that i think it a right thing for

every clergyman in easy circumstances (like myself) to set the example

of matrimony in his parish; secondly, that i am convinced that it will

add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly--which perhaps i ought

to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and

recommendation of the very noble lady whom i have the honour of calling

patroness. twice has she condescended to give me her opinion (unasked

too!) on this subject; and it was but the very saturday night before i

left hunsford--between our pools at quadrille, while mrs. jenkinson was

arranging miss de bourgh's footstool, that she said, 'mr. collins, you

must marry. a clergyman like you must marry. choose properly, choose

a gentlewoman for _my_ sake; and for your _own_, let her be an active,

useful sort of person, not brought up high, but able to make a small

income go a good way. this is my advice. find such a woman as soon as

you can, bring her to hunsford, and i will visit her.' allow me, by the

way, to observe, my fair cousin, that i do not reckon the notice

and kindness of lady catherine de bourgh as among the least of the

advantages in my power to offer. you will find her manners beyond

anything i can describe; and your wit and vivacity, i think, must be

acceptable to her, especially when tempered with the silence and

respect which her rank will inevitably excite. thus much for my general

intention in favour of matrimony; it remains to be told why my views

were directed towards longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood, where i

can assure you there are many amiable young women. but the fact is, that

being, as i am, to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured

father (who, however, may live many years longer), i could not satisfy

myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters, that

the loss to them might be as little as possible, when the melancholy

event takes place--which, however, as i have already said, may not

be for several years. this has been my motive, my fair cousin, and

i flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem. and now nothing

remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the

violence of my affection. to fortune i am perfectly indifferent, and

shall make no demand of that nature on your father, since i am well

aware that it could not be complied with; and that one thousand pounds

in the four per cents, which will not be yours till after your mother's

decease, is all that you may ever be entitled to. on that head,

therefore, i shall be uniformly silent; and you may assure yourself that

no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married."

it was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now.

"you are too hasty, sir," she cried. "you forget that i have made no

answer. let me do it without further loss of time. accept my thanks for

the compliment you are paying me. i am very sensible of the honour of

your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to

decline them."

"i am not now to learn," replied mr. collins, with a formal wave of the

hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the

man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their

favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second, or even a

third time. i am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just

said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long."

"upon my word, sir," cried elizabeth, "your hope is a rather

extraordinary one after my declaration. i do assure you that i am not

one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so

daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second

time. i am perfectly serious in my refusal. you could not make _me_

happy, and i am convinced that i am the last woman in the world who

could make you so. nay, were your friend lady catherine to know me, i

am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the

situation."

"were it certain that lady catherine would think so," said mr. collins

very gravely--"but i cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all

disapprove of you. and you may be certain when i have the honour of

seeing her again, i shall speak in the very highest terms of your

modesty, economy, and other amiable qualification."

"indeed, mr. collins, all praise of me will be unnecessary. you

must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment

of believing what i say. i wish you very happy and very rich, and by

refusing your hand, do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise.

in making me the offer, you must have satisfied the delicacy of your

feelings with regard to my family, and may take possession of longbourn

estate whenever it falls, without any self-reproach. this matter may

be considered, therefore, as finally settled." and rising as she

thus spoke, she would have quitted the room, had mr. collins not thus

addressed her:

"when i do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject, i

shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given

me; though i am far from accusing you of cruelty at present, because i

know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on

the first application, and perhaps you have even now said as much to

encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the

female character."

"really, mr. collins," cried elizabeth with some warmth, "you puzzle me

exceedingly. if what i have hitherto said can appear to you in the form

of encouragement, i know not how to express my refusal in such a way as

to convince you of its being one."

"you must give me leave to flatter myself, my dear cousin, that your

refusal of my addresses is merely words of course. my reasons for

believing it are briefly these: it does not appear to me that my hand is

unworthy of your acceptance, or that the establishment i can offer would

be any other than highly desirable. my situation in life, my connections

with the family of de bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are

circumstances highly in my favour; and you should take it into further

consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no

means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you. your

portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo

the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications. as i must

therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me,

i shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by

suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females."

"i do assure you, sir, that i have no pretensions whatever to that kind

of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. i would

rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. i thank you

again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but

to accept them is absolutely impossible. my feelings in every respect

forbid it. can i speak plainer? do not consider me now as an elegant

female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking

the truth from her heart."

"you are uniformly charming!" cried he, with an air of awkward

gallantry; "and i am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express

authority of both your excellent parents, my proposals will not fail of

being acceptable."

to such perseverance in wilful self-deception elizabeth would make

no reply, and immediately and in silence withdrew; determined, if

he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering

encouragement, to apply to her father, whose negative might be uttered

in such a manner as to be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could

not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.

chapter 20

mr. collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his

successful love; for mrs. bennet, having dawdled about in the vestibule

to watch for the end of the conference, no sooner saw elizabeth open

the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she

entered the breakfast-room, and congratulated both him and herself in

warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection. mr. collins

received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure, and then

proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview, with the result

of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied, since the

refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow

from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character.

this information, however, startled mrs. bennet; she would have been

glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage

him by protesting against his proposals, but she dared not believe it,

and could not help saying so.

"but, depend upon it, mr. collins," she added, "that lizzy shall be

brought to reason. i will speak to her about it directly. she is a very

headstrong, foolish girl, and does not know her own interest but i will

_make_ her know it."

"pardon me for interrupting you, madam," cried mr. collins; "but if

she is really headstrong and foolish, i know not whether she would

altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation, who

naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state. if therefore she

actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not

to force her into accepting me, because if liable to such defects of

temper, she could not contribute much to my felicity."

"sir, you quite misunderstand me," said mrs. bennet, alarmed. "lizzy is

only headstrong in such matters as these. in everything else she is as

good-natured a girl as ever lived. i will go directly to mr. bennet, and

we shall very soon settle it with her, i am sure."

she would not give him time to reply, but hurrying instantly to her

husband, called out as she entered the library, "oh! mr. bennet, you

are wanted immediately; we are all in an uproar. you must come and make

lizzy marry mr. collins, for she vows she will not have him, and if you

do not make haste he will change his mind and not have _her_."

mr. bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered, and fixed them

on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by

her communication.

"i have not the pleasure of understanding you," said he, when she had

finished her speech. "of what are you talking?"

"of mr. collins and lizzy. lizzy declares she will not have mr. collins,

and mr. collins begins to say that he will not have lizzy."

"and what am i to do on the occasion? it seems an hopeless business."

"speak to lizzy about it yourself. tell her that you insist upon her

marrying him."

"let her be called down. she shall hear my opinion."

mrs. bennet rang the bell, and miss elizabeth was summoned to the

library.

"come here, child," cried her father as she appeared. "i have sent for

you on an affair of importance. i understand that mr. collins has made

you an offer of marriage. is it true?" elizabeth replied that it was.

"very well--and this offer of marriage you have refused?"

"i have, sir."

"very well. we now come to the point. your mother insists upon your

accepting it. is it not so, mrs. bennet?"

"yes, or i will never see her again."

"an unhappy alternative is before you, elizabeth. from this day you must

be a stranger to one of your parents. your mother will never see you

again if you do _not_ marry mr. collins, and i will never see you again

if you _do_."

elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning,

but mrs. bennet, who had persuaded herself that her husband regarded the

affair as she wished, was excessively disappointed.

"what do you mean, mr. bennet, in talking this way? you promised me to

_insist_ upon her marrying him."

"my dear," replied her husband, "i have two small favours to request.

first, that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the

present occasion; and secondly, of my room. i shall be glad to have the

library to myself as soon as may be."

not yet, however, in spite of her disappointment in her husband, did

mrs. bennet give up the point. she talked to elizabeth again and again;

coaxed and threatened her by turns. she endeavoured to secure jane

in her interest; but jane, with all possible mildness, declined

interfering; and elizabeth, sometimes with real earnestness, and

sometimes with playful gaiety, replied to her attacks. though her manner

varied, however, her determination never did.

mr. collins, meanwhile, was meditating in solitude on what had passed.

he thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin

could refuse him; and though his pride was hurt, he suffered in no other

way. his regard for her was quite imaginary; and the possibility of her

deserving her mother's reproach prevented his feeling any regret.

while the family were in this confusion, charlotte lucas came to spend

the day with them. she was met in the vestibule by lydia, who, flying to

her, cried in a half whisper, "i am glad you are come, for there is such

fun here! what do you think has happened this morning? mr. collins has

made an offer to lizzy, and she will not have him."

charlotte hardly had time to answer, before they were joined by kitty,

who came to tell the same news; and no sooner had they entered the

breakfast-room, where mrs. bennet was alone, than she likewise began on

the subject, calling on miss lucas for her compassion, and entreating

her to persuade her friend lizzy to comply with the wishes of all her

family. "pray do, my dear miss lucas," she added in a melancholy tone,

"for nobody is on my side, nobody takes part with me. i am cruelly used,

nobody feels for my poor nerves."

charlotte's reply was spared by the entrance of jane and elizabeth.

"aye, there she comes," continued mrs. bennet, "looking as unconcerned

as may be, and caring no more for us than if we were at york, provided

she can have her own way. but i tell you, miss lizzy--if you take it

into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way,

you will never get a husband at all--and i am sure i do not know who is

to maintain you when your father is dead. i shall not be able to keep

you--and so i warn you. i have done with you from this very day. i told

you in the library, you know, that i should never speak to you again,

and you will find me as good as my word. i have no pleasure in talking

to undutiful children. not that i have much pleasure, indeed, in talking

to anybody. people who suffer as i do from nervous complaints can have

no great inclination for talking. nobody can tell what i suffer! but it

is always so. those who do not complain are never pitied."

her daughters listened in silence to this effusion, sensible that

any attempt to reason with her or soothe her would only increase the

irritation. she talked on, therefore, without interruption from any of

them, till they were joined by mr. collins, who entered the room with

an air more stately than usual, and on perceiving whom, she said to

the girls, "now, i do insist upon it, that you, all of you, hold

your tongues, and let me and mr. collins have a little conversation

together."

elizabeth passed quietly out of the room, jane and kitty followed, but

lydia stood her ground, determined to hear all she could; and charlotte,

detained first by the civility of mr. collins, whose inquiries after

herself and all her family were very minute, and then by a little

curiosity, satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending

not to hear. in a doleful voice mrs. bennet began the projected

conversation: "oh! mr. collins!"

"my dear madam," replied he, "let us be for ever silent on this point.

far be it from me," he presently continued, in a voice that marked his

displeasure, "to resent the behaviour of your daughter. resignation

to inevitable evils is the duty of us all; the peculiar duty of a

young man who has been so fortunate as i have been in early preferment;

and i trust i am resigned. perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt

of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand;

for i have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as

when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our

estimation. you will not, i hope, consider me as showing any disrespect

to your family, my dear madam, by thus withdrawing my pretensions to

your daughter's favour, without having paid yourself and mr. bennet the

compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my

behalf. my conduct may, i fear, be objectionable in having accepted my

dismission from your daughter's lips instead of your own. but we are all

liable to error. i have certainly meant well through the whole affair.

my object has been to secure an amiable companion for myself, with due

consideration for the advantage of all your family, and if my _manner_

has been at all reprehensible, i here beg leave to apologise."

chapter 21

the discussion of mr. collins's offer was now nearly at an end, and

elizabeth had only to suffer from the uncomfortable feelings necessarily

attending it, and occasionally from some peevish allusions of her

mother. as for the gentleman himself, _his_ feelings were chiefly

expressed, not by embarrassment or dejection, or by trying to avoid her,

but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence. he scarcely ever spoke

to her, and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of

himself were transferred for the rest of the day to miss lucas, whose

civility in listening to him was a seasonable relief to them all, and

especially to her friend.

the morrow produced no abatement of mrs. bennet's ill-humour or ill

health. mr. collins was also in the same state of angry pride. elizabeth

had hoped that his resentment might shorten his visit, but his plan did

not appear in the least affected by it. he was always to have gone on

saturday, and to saturday he meant to stay.

after breakfast, the girls walked to meryton to inquire if mr. wickham

were returned, and to lament over his absence from the netherfield ball.

he joined them on their entering the town, and attended them to their

aunt's where his regret and vexation, and the concern of everybody, was

well talked over. to elizabeth, however, he voluntarily acknowledged

that the necessity of his absence _had_ been self-imposed.

"i found," said he, "as the time drew near that i had better not meet

mr. darcy; that to be in the same room, the same party with him for so

many hours together, might be more than i could bear, and that scenes

might arise unpleasant to more than myself."

she highly approved his forbearance, and they had leisure for a full

discussion of it, and for all the commendation which they civilly

bestowed on each other, as wickham and another officer walked back with

them to longbourn, and during the walk he particularly attended to

her. his accompanying them was a double advantage; she felt all the

compliment it offered to herself, and it was most acceptable as an

occasion of introducing him to her father and mother.

soon after their return, a letter was delivered to miss bennet; it came

from netherfield. the envelope contained a sheet of elegant, little,

hot-pressed paper, well covered with a lady's fair, flowing hand; and

elizabeth saw her sister's countenance change as she read it, and saw

her dwelling intently on some particular passages. jane recollected

herself soon, and putting the letter away, tried to join with her usual

cheerfulness in the general conversation; but elizabeth felt an anxiety

on the subject which drew off her attention even from wickham; and no

sooner had he and his companion taken leave, than a glance from jane

invited her to follow her up stairs. when they had gained their own room,

jane, taking out the letter, said:

"this is from caroline bingley; what it contains has surprised me a good

deal. the whole party have left netherfield by this time, and are on

their way to town--and without any intention of coming back again. you

shall hear what she says."

she then read the first sentence aloud, which comprised the information

of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly,

and of their meaning to dine in grosvenor street, where mr. hurst had a

house. the next was in these words: "i do not pretend to regret anything

i shall leave in hertfordshire, except your society, my dearest friend;

but we will hope, at some future period, to enjoy many returns of that

delightful intercourse we have known, and in the meanwhile may

lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved

correspondence. i depend on you for that." to these highflown

expressions elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust;

and though the suddenness of their removal surprised her, she saw

nothing in it really to lament; it was not to be supposed that their

absence from netherfield would prevent mr. bingley's being there; and as

to the loss of their society, she was persuaded that jane must cease to

regard it, in the enjoyment of his.

"it is unlucky," said she, after a short pause, "that you should not be

able to see your friends before they leave the country. but may we not

hope that the period of future happiness to which miss bingley looks

forward may arrive earlier than she is aware, and that the delightful

intercourse you have known as friends will be renewed with yet greater

satisfaction as sisters? mr. bingley will not be detained in london by

them."

"caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into

hertfordshire this winter. i will read it to you:"

"when my brother left us yesterday, he imagined that the business which

took him to london might be concluded in three or four days; but as we

are certain it cannot be so, and at the same time convinced that when

charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again, we have

determined on following him thither, that he may not be obliged to spend

his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel. many of my acquaintances are

already there for the winter; i wish that i could hear that you, my

dearest friend, had any intention of making one of the crowd--but of

that i despair. i sincerely hope your christmas in hertfordshire may

abound in the gaieties which that season generally brings, and that your

beaux will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the

three of whom we shall deprive you."

"it is evident by this," added jane, "that he comes back no more this

winter."

"it is only evident that miss bingley does not mean that he _should_."

"why will you think so? it must be his own doing. he is his own

master. but you do not know _all_. i _will_ read you the passage which

particularly hurts me. i will have no reserves from _you_."

"mr. darcy is impatient to see his sister; and, to confess the truth,

_we_ are scarcely less eager to meet her again. i really do not think

georgiana darcy has her equal for beauty, elegance, and accomplishments;

and the affection she inspires in louisa and myself is heightened into

something still more interesting, from the hope we dare entertain of

her being hereafter our sister. i do not know whether i ever before

mentioned to you my feelings on this subject; but i will not leave the

country without confiding them, and i trust you will not esteem them

unreasonable. my brother admires her greatly already; he will have

frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing;

her relations all wish the connection as much as his own; and a sister's

partiality is not misleading me, i think, when i call charles most

capable of engaging any woman's heart. with all these circumstances to

favour an attachment, and nothing to prevent it, am i wrong, my dearest

jane, in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness

of so many?"

"what do you think of _this_ sentence, my dear lizzy?" said jane as she

finished it. "is it not clear enough? does it not expressly declare that

caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister; that she is

perfectly convinced of her brother's indifference; and that if she

suspects the nature of my feelings for him, she means (most kindly!) to

put me on my guard? can there be any other opinion on the subject?"

"yes, there can; for mine is totally different. will you hear it?"

"most willingly."

"you shall have it in a few words. miss bingley sees that her brother is

in love with you, and wants him to marry miss darcy. she follows him

to town in hope of keeping him there, and tries to persuade you that he

does not care about you."

jane shook her head.

"indeed, jane, you ought to believe me. no one who has ever seen you

together can doubt his affection. miss bingley, i am sure, cannot. she

is not such a simpleton. could she have seen half as much love in mr.

darcy for herself, she would have ordered her wedding clothes. but the

case is this: we are not rich enough or grand enough for them; and she

is the more anxious to get miss darcy for her brother, from the notion

that when there has been _one_ intermarriage, she may have less trouble

in achieving a second; in which there is certainly some ingenuity, and

i dare say it would succeed, if miss de bourgh were out of the way. but,

my dearest jane, you cannot seriously imagine that because miss bingley

tells you her brother greatly admires miss darcy, he is in the smallest

degree less sensible of _your_ merit than when he took leave of you on

tuesday, or that it will be in her power to persuade him that, instead

of being in love with you, he is very much in love with her friend."

"if we thought alike of miss bingley," replied jane, "your

representation of all this might make me quite easy. but i know the

foundation is unjust. caroline is incapable of wilfully deceiving

anyone; and all that i can hope in this case is that she is deceiving

herself."

"that is right. you could not have started a more happy idea, since you

will not take comfort in mine. believe her to be deceived, by all means.

you have now done your duty by her, and must fret no longer."

"but, my dear sister, can i be happy, even supposing the best, in

accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry

elsewhere?"

"you must decide for yourself," said elizabeth; "and if, upon mature

deliberation, you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is

more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife, i advise you by

all means to refuse him."

"how can you talk so?" said jane, faintly smiling. "you must know that

though i should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, i could

not hesitate."

"i did not think you would; and that being the case, i cannot consider

your situation with much compassion."

"but if he returns no more this winter, my choice will never be

required. a thousand things may arise in six months!"

the idea of his returning no more elizabeth treated with the utmost

contempt. it appeared to her merely the suggestion of caroline's

interested wishes, and she could not for a moment suppose that those

wishes, however openly or artfully spoken, could influence a young man

so totally independent of everyone.

she represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt

on the subject, and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect.

jane's temper was not desponding, and she was gradually led to hope,

though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope, that

bingley would return to netherfield and answer every wish of her heart.

they agreed that mrs. bennet should only hear of the departure of the

family, without being alarmed on the score of the gentleman's conduct;

but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern,

and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen

to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together. after

lamenting it, however, at some length, she had the consolation that mr.

bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at longbourn, and the

conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration, that though he had

been invited only to a family dinner, she would take care to have two

full courses.

chapter 22

the bennets were engaged to dine with the lucases and again during the

chief of the day was miss lucas so kind as to listen to mr. collins.

elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her. "it keeps him in good

humour," said she, "and i am more obliged to you than i can express."

charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful, and

that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time. this was

very amiable, but charlotte's kindness extended farther than elizabeth

had any conception of; its object was nothing else than to secure her

from any return of mr. collins's addresses, by engaging them towards

herself. such was miss lucas's scheme; and appearances were so

favourable, that when they parted at night, she would have felt almost

secure of success if he had not been to leave hertfordshire so very

soon. but here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his

character, for it led him to escape out of longbourn house the next

morning with admirable slyness, and hasten to lucas lodge to throw

himself at her feet. he was anxious to avoid the notice of his cousins,

from a conviction that if they saw him depart, they could not fail to

conjecture his design, and he was not willing to have the attempt known

till its success might be known likewise; for though feeling almost

secure, and with reason, for charlotte had been tolerably encouraging,

he was comparatively diffident since the adventure of wednesday.

his reception, however, was of the most flattering kind. miss lucas

perceived him from an upper window as he walked towards the house, and

instantly set out to meet him accidentally in the lane. but little had

she dared to hope that so much love and eloquence awaited her there.

in as short a time as mr. collins's long speeches would allow,

everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both; and as

they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that

was to make him the happiest of men; and though such a solicitation must

be waived for the present, the lady felt no inclination to trifle with

his happiness. the stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must

guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its

continuance; and miss lucas, who accepted him solely from the pure

and disinterested desire of an establishment, cared not how soon that

establishment were gained.

sir william and lady lucas were speedily applied to for their consent;

and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity. mr. collins's present

circumstances made it a most eligible match for their daughter, to whom

they could give little fortune; and his prospects of future wealth were

exceedingly fair. lady lucas began directly to calculate, with more

interest than the matter had ever excited before, how many years longer

mr. bennet was likely to live; and sir william gave it as his decided

opinion, that whenever mr. collins should be in possession of the

longbourn estate, it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife

should make their appearance at st. james's. the whole family, in short,

were properly overjoyed on the occasion. the younger girls formed hopes

of _coming out_ a year or two sooner than they might otherwise have

done; and the boys were relieved from their apprehension of charlotte's

dying an old maid. charlotte herself was tolerably composed. she had

gained her point, and had time to consider of it. her reflections were

in general satisfactory. mr. collins, to be sure, was neither sensible

nor agreeable; his society was irksome, and his attachment to her must

be imaginary. but still he would be her husband. without thinking highly

either of men or matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was

the only provision for well-educated young women of small fortune,

and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest

preservative from want. this preservative she had now obtained; and at

the age of twenty-seven, without having ever been handsome, she felt all

the good luck of it. the least agreeable circumstance in the business

was the surprise it must occasion to elizabeth bennet, whose friendship

she valued beyond that of any other person. elizabeth would wonder,

and probably would blame her; and though her resolution was not to be

shaken, her feelings must be hurt by such a disapprobation. she resolved

to give her the information herself, and therefore charged mr. collins,

when he returned to longbourn to dinner, to drop no hint of what had

passed before any of the family. a promise of secrecy was of course very

dutifully given, but it could not be kept without difficulty; for the

curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct

questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade, and he was

at the same time exercising great self-denial, for he was longing to

publish his prosperous love.

as he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the

family, the ceremony of leave-taking was performed when the ladies moved

for the night; and mrs. bennet, with great politeness and cordiality,

said how happy they should be to see him at longbourn again, whenever

his engagements might allow him to visit them.

"my dear madam," he replied, "this invitation is particularly

gratifying, because it is what i have been hoping to receive; and

you may be very certain that i shall avail myself of it as soon as

possible."

they were all astonished; and mr. bennet, who could by no means wish for

so speedy a return, immediately said:

"but is there not danger of lady catherine's disapprobation here, my

good sir? you had better neglect your relations than run the risk of

offending your patroness."

"my dear sir," replied mr. collins, "i am particularly obliged to you

for this friendly caution, and you may depend upon my not taking so

material a step without her ladyship's concurrence."

"you cannot be too much upon your guard. risk anything rather than her

displeasure; and if you find it likely to be raised by your coming to us

again, which i should think exceedingly probable, stay quietly at home,

and be satisfied that _we_ shall take no offence."

"believe me, my dear sir, my gratitude is warmly excited by such

affectionate attention; and depend upon it, you will speedily receive

from me a letter of thanks for this, and for every other mark of your

regard during my stay in hertfordshire. as for my fair cousins, though

my absence may not be long enough to render it necessary, i shall now

take the liberty of wishing them health and happiness, not excepting my

cousin elizabeth."

with proper civilities the ladies then withdrew; all of them equally

surprised that he meditated a quick return. mrs. bennet wished to

understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her

younger girls, and mary might have been prevailed on to accept him.

she rated his abilities much higher than any of the others; there was

a solidity in his reflections which often struck her, and though by no

means so clever as herself, she thought that if encouraged to read

and improve himself by such an example as hers, he might become a very

agreeable companion. but on the following morning, every hope of this

kind was done away. miss lucas called soon after breakfast, and in a

private conference with elizabeth related the event of the day before.

the possibility of mr. collins's fancying himself in love with her

friend had once occurred to elizabeth within the last day or two; but

that charlotte could encourage him seemed almost as far from

possibility as she could encourage him herself, and her astonishment was

consequently so great as to overcome at first the bounds of decorum, and

she could not help crying out:

"engaged to mr. collins! my dear charlotte--impossible!"

the steady countenance which miss lucas had commanded in telling her

story, gave way to a momentary confusion here on receiving so direct a

reproach; though, as it was no more than she expected, she soon regained

her composure, and calmly replied:

"why should you be surprised, my dear eliza? do you think it incredible

that mr. collins should be able to procure any woman's good opinion,

because he was not so happy as to succeed with you?"

but elizabeth had now recollected herself, and making a strong effort

for it, was able to assure with tolerable firmness that the prospect of

their relationship was highly grateful to her, and that she wished her

all imaginable happiness.

"i see what you are feeling," replied charlotte. "you must be surprised,

very much surprised--so lately as mr. collins was wishing to marry

you. but when you have had time to think it over, i hope you will be

satisfied with what i have done. i am not romantic, you know; i never

was. i ask only a comfortable home; and considering mr. collins's

character, connection, and situation in life, i am convinced that my

chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on

entering the marriage state."

elizabeth quietly answered "undoubtedly;" and after an awkward pause,

they returned to the rest of the family. charlotte did not stay much

longer, and elizabeth was then left to reflect on what she had heard.

it was a long time before she became at all reconciled to the idea of so

unsuitable a match. the strangeness of mr. collins's making two offers

of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now

accepted. she had always felt that charlotte's opinion of matrimony was

not exactly like her own, but she had not supposed it to be possible

that, when called into action, she would have sacrificed every better

feeling to worldly advantage. charlotte the wife of mr. collins was a

most humiliating picture! and to the pang of a friend disgracing herself

and sunk in her esteem, was added the distressing conviction that it

was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had

chosen.

chapter 23

elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters, reflecting on what

she had heard, and doubting whether she was authorised to mention

it, when sir william lucas himself appeared, sent by his daughter, to

announce her engagement to the family. with many compliments to them,

and much self-gratulation on the prospect of a connection between the

houses, he unfolded the matter--to an audience not merely wondering, but

incredulous; for mrs. bennet, with more perseverance than politeness,

protested he must be entirely mistaken; and lydia, always unguarded and

often uncivil, boisterously exclaimed:

"good lord! sir william, how can you tell such a story? do not you know

that mr. collins wants to marry lizzy?"

nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne

without anger such treatment; but sir william's good breeding carried

him through it all; and though he begged leave to be positive as to the

truth of his information, he listened to all their impertinence with the

most forbearing courtesy.

elizabeth, feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant

a situation, now put herself forward to confirm his account, by

mentioning her prior knowledge of it from charlotte herself; and

endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of her mother and sisters

by the earnestness of her congratulations to sir william, in which she

was readily joined by jane, and by making a variety of remarks on the

happiness that might be expected from the match, the excellent character

of mr. collins, and the convenient distance of hunsford from london.

mrs. bennet was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while

sir william remained; but no sooner had he left them than her feelings

found a rapid vent. in the first place, she persisted in disbelieving

the whole of the matter; secondly, she was very sure that mr. collins

had been taken in; thirdly, she trusted that they would never be

happy together; and fourthly, that the match might be broken off. two

inferences, however, were plainly deduced from the whole: one, that

elizabeth was the real cause of the mischief; and the other that she

herself had been barbarously misused by them all; and on these two

points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day. nothing could

console and nothing could appease her. nor did that day wear out her

resentment. a week elapsed before she could see elizabeth without

scolding her, a month passed away before she could speak to sir william

or lady lucas without being rude, and many months were gone before she

could at all forgive their daughter.

mr. bennet's emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion, and such

as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort; for

it gratified him, he said, to discover that charlotte lucas, whom he had

been used to think tolerably sensible, was as foolish as his wife, and

more foolish than his daughter!

jane confessed herself a little surprised at the match; but she said

less of her astonishment than of her earnest desire for their happiness;

nor could elizabeth persuade her to consider it as improbable. kitty

and lydia were far from envying miss lucas, for mr. collins was only a

clergyman; and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news

to spread at meryton.

lady lucas could not be insensible of triumph on being able to retort

on mrs. bennet the comfort of having a daughter well married; and she

called at longbourn rather oftener than usual to say how happy she was,

though mrs. bennet's sour looks and ill-natured remarks might have been

enough to drive happiness away.

between elizabeth and charlotte there was a restraint which kept them

mutually silent on the subject; and elizabeth felt persuaded that

no real confidence could ever subsist between them again. her

disappointment in charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her

sister, of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could

never be shaken, and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious,

as bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his

return.

jane had sent caroline an early answer to her letter, and was counting

the days till she might reasonably hope to hear again. the promised

letter of thanks from mr. collins arrived on tuesday, addressed to

their father, and written with all the solemnity of gratitude which a

twelvemonth's abode in the family might have prompted. after discharging

his conscience on that head, he proceeded to inform them, with many

rapturous expressions, of his happiness in having obtained the affection

of their amiable neighbour, miss lucas, and then explained that it was

merely with the view of enjoying her society that he had been so ready

to close with their kind wish of seeing him again at longbourn, whither

he hoped to be able to return on monday fortnight; for lady catherine,

he added, so heartily approved his marriage, that she wished it to take

place as soon as possible, which he trusted would be an unanswerable

argument with his amiable charlotte to name an early day for making him

the happiest of men.

mr. collins's return into hertfordshire was no longer a matter of

pleasure to mrs. bennet. on the contrary, she was as much disposed to

complain of it as her husband. it was very strange that he should come

to longbourn instead of to lucas lodge; it was also very inconvenient

and exceedingly troublesome. she hated having visitors in the house

while her health was so indifferent, and lovers were of all people the

most disagreeable. such were the gentle murmurs of mrs. bennet, and

they gave way only to the greater distress of mr. bingley's continued

absence.

neither jane nor elizabeth were comfortable on this subject. day after

day passed away without bringing any other tidings of him than the

report which shortly prevailed in meryton of his coming no more to

netherfield the whole winter; a report which highly incensed mrs.

bennet, and which she never failed to contradict as a most scandalous

falsehood.

even elizabeth began to fear--not that bingley was indifferent--but that

his sisters would be successful in keeping him away. unwilling as

she was to admit an idea so destructive of jane's happiness, and so

dishonorable to the stability of her lover, she could not prevent its

frequently occurring. the united efforts of his two unfeeling sisters

and of his overpowering friend, assisted by the attractions of miss

darcy and the amusements of london might be too much, she feared, for

the strength of his attachment.

as for jane, _her_ anxiety under this suspense was, of course, more

painful than elizabeth's, but whatever she felt she was desirous of

concealing, and between herself and elizabeth, therefore, the subject

was never alluded to. but as no such delicacy restrained her mother,

an hour seldom passed in which she did not talk of bingley, express her

impatience for his arrival, or even require jane to confess that if he

did not come back she would think herself very ill used. it needed

all jane's steady mildness to bear these attacks with tolerable

tranquillity.

mr. collins returned most punctually on monday fortnight, but his

reception at longbourn was not quite so gracious as it had been on his

first introduction. he was too happy, however, to need much attention;

and luckily for the others, the business of love-making relieved them

from a great deal of his company. the chief of every day was spent by

him at lucas lodge, and he sometimes returned to longbourn only in time

to make an apology for his absence before the family went to bed.

mrs. bennet was really in a most pitiable state. the very mention of

anything concerning the match threw her into an agony of ill-humour,

and wherever she went she was sure of hearing it talked of. the sight

of miss lucas was odious to her. as her successor in that house, she

regarded her with jealous abhorrence. whenever charlotte came to see

them, she concluded her to be anticipating the hour of possession; and

whenever she spoke in a low voice to mr. collins, was convinced that

they were talking of the longbourn estate, and resolving to turn herself

and her daughters out of the house, as soon as mr. bennet were dead. she

complained bitterly of all this to her husband.

"indeed, mr. bennet," said she, "it is very hard to think that charlotte

lucas should ever be mistress of this house, that i should be forced to

make way for _her_, and live to see her take her place in it!"

"my dear, do not give way to such gloomy thoughts. let us hope for

better things. let us flatter ourselves that i may be the survivor."

this was not very consoling to mrs. bennet, and therefore, instead of

making any answer, she went on as before.

"i cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate. if it was

not for the entail, i should not mind it."

"what should not you mind?"

"i should not mind anything at all."

"let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such

insensibility."

"i never can be thankful, mr. bennet, for anything about the entail. how

anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from one's own

daughters, i cannot understand; and all for the sake of mr. collins too!

why should _he_ have it more than anybody else?"

"i leave it to yourself to determine," said mr. bennet.

chapter 24

miss bingley's letter arrived, and put an end to doubt. the very first

sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in london for

the winter, and concluded with her brother's regret at not having had

time to pay his respects to his friends in hertfordshire before he left

the country.

hope was over, entirely over; and when jane could attend to the rest

of the letter, she found little, except the professed affection of the

writer, that could give her any comfort. miss darcy's praise occupied

the chief of it. her many attractions were again dwelt on, and caroline

boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy, and ventured to predict

the accomplishment of the wishes which had been unfolded in her former

letter. she wrote also with great pleasure of her brother's being an

inmate of mr. darcy's house, and mentioned with raptures some plans of

the latter with regard to new furniture.

elizabeth, to whom jane very soon communicated the chief of all this,

heard it in silent indignation. her heart was divided between concern

for her sister, and resentment against all others. to caroline's

assertion of her brother's being partial to miss darcy she paid no

credit. that he was really fond of jane, she doubted no more than she

had ever done; and much as she had always been disposed to like him, she

could not think without anger, hardly without contempt, on that easiness

of temper, that want of proper resolution, which now made him the slave

of his designing friends, and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness

to the caprice of their inclination. had his own happiness, however,

been the only sacrifice, he might have been allowed to sport with it in

whatever manner he thought best, but her sister's was involved in it, as

she thought he must be sensible himself. it was a subject, in short,

on which reflection would be long indulged, and must be unavailing. she

could think of nothing else; and yet whether bingley's regard had really

died away, or were suppressed by his friends' interference; whether

he had been aware of jane's attachment, or whether it had escaped his

observation; whatever were the case, though her opinion of him must be

materially affected by the difference, her sister's situation remained

the same, her peace equally wounded.

a day or two passed before jane had courage to speak of her feelings to

elizabeth; but at last, on mrs. bennet's leaving them together, after a

longer irritation than usual about netherfield and its master, she could

not help saying:

"oh, that my dear mother had more command over herself! she can have no

idea of the pain she gives me by her continual reflections on him. but

i will not repine. it cannot last long. he will be forgot, and we shall

all be as we were before."

elizabeth looked at her sister with incredulous solicitude, but said

nothing.

"you doubt me," cried jane, slightly colouring; "indeed, you have

no reason. he may live in my memory as the most amiable man of my

acquaintance, but that is all. i have nothing either to hope or fear,

and nothing to reproach him with. thank god! i have not _that_ pain. a

little time, therefore--i shall certainly try to get the better."

with a stronger voice she soon added, "i have this comfort immediately,

that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side, and that it

has done no harm to anyone but myself."

"my dear jane!" exclaimed elizabeth, "you are too good. your sweetness

and disinterestedness are really angelic; i do not know what to say

to you. i feel as if i had never done you justice, or loved you as you

deserve."

miss bennet eagerly disclaimed all extraordinary merit, and threw back

the praise on her sister's warm affection.

"nay," said elizabeth, "this is not fair. _you_ wish to think all the

world respectable, and are hurt if i speak ill of anybody. i only want

to think _you_ perfect, and you set yourself against it. do not

be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your

privilege of universal good-will. you need not. there are few people

whom i really love, and still fewer of whom i think well. the more i see

of the world, the more am i dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms

my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the

little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or

sense. i have met with two instances lately, one i will not mention; the

other is charlotte's marriage. it is unaccountable! in every view it is

unaccountable!"

"my dear lizzy, do not give way to such feelings as these. they will

ruin your happiness. you do not make allowance enough for difference

of situation and temper. consider mr. collins's respectability, and

charlotte's steady, prudent character. remember that she is one of a

large family; that as to fortune, it is a most eligible match; and be

ready to believe, for everybody's sake, that she may feel something like

regard and esteem for our cousin."

"to oblige you, i would try to believe almost anything, but no one else

could be benefited by such a belief as this; for were i persuaded that

charlotte had any regard for him, i should only think worse of her

understanding than i now do of her heart. my dear jane, mr. collins is a

conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as

i do; and you must feel, as well as i do, that the woman who married him

cannot have a proper way of thinking. you shall not defend her, though

it is charlotte lucas. you shall not, for the sake of one individual,

change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade

yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of

danger security for happiness."

"i must think your language too strong in speaking of both," replied

jane; "and i hope you will be convinced of it by seeing them happy

together. but enough of this. you alluded to something else. you

mentioned _two_ instances. i cannot misunderstand you, but i entreat

you, dear lizzy, not to pain me by thinking _that person_ to blame, and

saying your opinion of him is sunk. we must not be so ready to fancy

ourselves intentionally injured. we must not expect a lively young man

to be always so guarded and circumspect. it is very often nothing but

our own vanity that deceives us. women fancy admiration means more than

it does."

"and men take care that they should."

"if it is designedly done, they cannot be justified; but i have no idea

of there being so much design in the world as some persons imagine."

"i am far from attributing any part of mr. bingley's conduct to design,"

said elizabeth; "but without scheming to do wrong, or to make others

unhappy, there may be error, and there may be misery. thoughtlessness,

want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution,

will do the business."

"and do you impute it to either of those?"

"yes; to the last. but if i go on, i shall displease you by saying what

i think of persons you esteem. stop me whilst you can."

"you persist, then, in supposing his sisters influence him?"

"yes, in conjunction with his friend."

"i cannot believe it. why should they try to influence him? they can

only wish his happiness; and if he is attached to me, no other woman can

secure it."

"your first position is false. they may wish many things besides his

happiness; they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence; they

may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money, great

connections, and pride."

"beyond a doubt, they _do_ wish him to choose miss darcy," replied jane;

"but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing. they have

known her much longer than they have known me; no wonder if they love

her better. but, whatever may be their own wishes, it is very unlikely

they should have opposed their brother's. what sister would think

herself at liberty to do it, unless there were something very

objectionable? if they believed him attached to me, they would not try

to part us; if he were so, they could not succeed. by supposing such an

affection, you make everybody acting unnaturally and wrong, and me most

unhappy. do not distress me by the idea. i am not ashamed of having been

mistaken--or, at least, it is light, it is nothing in comparison of what

i should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters. let me take it in

the best light, in the light in which it may be understood."

elizabeth could not oppose such a wish; and from this time mr. bingley's

name was scarcely ever mentioned between them.

mrs. bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no

more, and though a day seldom passed in which elizabeth did not account

for it clearly, there was little chance of her ever considering it with

less perplexity. her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she

did not believe herself, that his attentions to jane had been merely the

effect of a common and transient liking, which ceased when he saw her

no more; but though the probability of the statement was admitted at

the time, she had the same story to repeat every day. mrs. bennet's best

comfort was that mr. bingley must be down again in the summer.

mr. bennet treated the matter differently. "so, lizzy," said he one day,

"your sister is crossed in love, i find. i congratulate her. next to

being married, a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then.

it is something to think of, and it gives her a sort of distinction

among her companions. when is your turn to come? you will hardly bear to

be long outdone by jane. now is your time. here are officers enough in

meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country. let wickham

be _your_ man. he is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably."

"thank you, sir, but a less agreeable man would satisfy me. we must not

all expect jane's good fortune."

"true," said mr. bennet, "but it is a comfort to think that whatever of

that kind may befall you, you have an affectionate mother who will make

the most of it."

mr. wickham's society was of material service in dispelling the gloom

which the late perverse occurrences had thrown on many of the longbourn

family. they saw him often, and to his other recommendations was now

added that of general unreserve. the whole of what elizabeth had already

heard, his claims on mr. darcy, and all that he had suffered from him,

was now openly acknowledged and publicly canvassed; and everybody was

pleased to know how much they had always disliked mr. darcy before they

had known anything of the matter.

miss bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be

any extenuating circumstances in the case, unknown to the society

of hertfordshire; her mild and steady candour always pleaded for

allowances, and urged the possibility of mistakes--but by everybody else

mr. darcy was condemned as the worst of men.

chapter 25

after a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity,

mr. collins was called from his amiable charlotte by the arrival of

saturday. the pain of separation, however, might be alleviated on his

side, by preparations for the reception of his bride; as he had reason

to hope, that shortly after his return into hertfordshire, the day would

be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men. he took leave of his

relations at longbourn with as much solemnity as before; wished his fair

cousins health and happiness again, and promised their father another

letter of thanks.

on the following monday, mrs. bennet had the pleasure of receiving

her brother and his wife, who came as usual to spend the christmas

at longbourn. mr. gardiner was a sensible, gentlemanlike man, greatly

superior to his sister, as well by nature as education. the netherfield

ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived

by trade, and within view of his own warehouses, could have been so

well-bred and agreeable. mrs. gardiner, who was several years younger

than mrs. bennet and mrs. phillips, was an amiable, intelligent, elegant

woman, and a great favourite with all her longbourn nieces. between the

two eldest and herself especially, there subsisted a particular regard.

they had frequently been staying with her in town.

the first part of mrs. gardiner's business on her arrival was to

distribute her presents and describe the newest fashions. when this was

done she had a less active part to play. it became her turn to listen.

mrs. bennet had many grievances to relate, and much to complain of. they

had all been very ill-used since she last saw her sister. two of her

girls had been upon the point of marriage, and after all there was

nothing in it.

"i do not blame jane," she continued, "for jane would have got mr.

bingley if she could. but lizzy! oh, sister! it is very hard to think

that she might have been mr. collins's wife by this time, had it not

been for her own perverseness. he made her an offer in this very room,

and she refused him. the consequence of it is, that lady lucas will have

a daughter married before i have, and that the longbourn estate is just

as much entailed as ever. the lucases are very artful people indeed,

sister. they are all for what they can get. i am sorry to say it of

them, but so it is. it makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted

so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves

before anybody else. however, your coming just at this time is the

greatest of comforts, and i am very glad to hear what you tell us, of

long sleeves."

mrs. gardiner, to whom the chief of this news had been given before,

in the course of jane and elizabeth's correspondence with her, made her

sister a slight answer, and, in compassion to her nieces, turned the

conversation.

when alone with elizabeth afterwards, she spoke more on the subject. "it

seems likely to have been a desirable match for jane," said she. "i am

sorry it went off. but these things happen so often! a young man, such

as you describe mr. bingley, so easily falls in love with a pretty girl

for a few weeks, and when accident separates them, so easily forgets

her, that these sort of inconsistencies are very frequent."

"an excellent consolation in its way," said elizabeth, "but it will not

do for _us_. we do not suffer by _accident_. it does not often

happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of

independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in

love with only a few days before."

"but that expression of 'violently in love' is so hackneyed, so

doubtful, so indefinite, that it gives me very little idea. it is as

often applied to feelings which arise from a half-hour's acquaintance,

as to a real, strong attachment. pray, how _violent was_ mr. bingley's

love?"

"i never saw a more promising inclination; he was growing quite

inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. every time

they met, it was more decided and remarkable. at his own ball he

offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and i

spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer. could there be

finer symptoms? is not general incivility the very essence of love?"

"oh, yes!--of that kind of love which i suppose him to have felt. poor

jane! i am sorry for her, because, with her disposition, she may not get

over it immediately. it had better have happened to _you_, lizzy; you

would have laughed yourself out of it sooner. but do you think she

would be prevailed upon to go back with us? change of scene might be

of service--and perhaps a little relief from home may be as useful as

anything."

elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal, and felt persuaded

of her sister's ready acquiescence.

"i hope," added mrs. gardiner, "that no consideration with regard to

this young man will influence her. we live in so different a part of

town, all our connections are so different, and, as you well know, we go

out so little, that it is very improbable that they should meet at all,

unless he really comes to see her."

"and _that_ is quite impossible; for he is now in the custody of his

friend, and mr. darcy would no more suffer him to call on jane in such

a part of london! my dear aunt, how could you think of it? mr. darcy may

perhaps have _heard_ of such a place as gracechurch street, but he

would hardly think a month's ablution enough to cleanse him from its

impurities, were he once to enter it; and depend upon it, mr. bingley

never stirs without him."

"so much the better. i hope they will not meet at all. but does not jane

correspond with his sister? _she_ will not be able to help calling."

"she will drop the acquaintance entirely."

but in spite of the certainty in which elizabeth affected to place this

point, as well as the still more interesting one of bingley's being

withheld from seeing jane, she felt a solicitude on the subject which

convinced her, on examination, that she did not consider it entirely

hopeless. it was possible, and sometimes she thought it probable, that

his affection might be reanimated, and the influence of his friends

successfully combated by the more natural influence of jane's

attractions.

miss bennet accepted her aunt's invitation with pleasure; and the

bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the same time, than as she

hoped by caroline's not living in the same house with her brother,

she might occasionally spend a morning with her, without any danger of

seeing him.

the gardiners stayed a week at longbourn; and what with the phillipses,

the lucases, and the officers, there was not a day without its

engagement. mrs. bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment

of her brother and sister, that they did not once sit down to a family

dinner. when the engagement was for home, some of the officers always

made part of it--of which officers mr. wickham was sure to be one; and

on these occasions, mrs. gardiner, rendered suspicious by elizabeth's

warm commendation, narrowly observed them both. without supposing them,

from what she saw, to be very seriously in love, their preference

of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy; and

she resolved to speak to elizabeth on the subject before she left

hertfordshire, and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such

an attachment.

to mrs. gardiner, wickham had one means of affording pleasure,

unconnected with his general powers. about ten or a dozen years ago,

before her marriage, she had spent a considerable time in that very

part of derbyshire to which he belonged. they had, therefore, many

acquaintances in common; and though wickham had been little there since

the death of darcy's father, it was yet in his power to give her fresher

intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of

procuring.

mrs. gardiner had seen pemberley, and known the late mr. darcy by

character perfectly well. here consequently was an inexhaustible subject

of discourse. in comparing her recollection of pemberley with the minute

description which wickham could give, and in bestowing her tribute of

praise on the character of its late possessor, she was delighting both

him and herself. on being made acquainted with the present mr. darcy's

treatment of him, she tried to remember some of that gentleman's

reputed disposition when quite a lad which might agree with it, and

was confident at last that she recollected having heard mr. fitzwilliam

darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud, ill-natured boy.

chapter 26

mrs. gardiner's caution to elizabeth was punctually and kindly given

on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone; after

honestly telling her what she thought, she thus went on:

"you are too sensible a girl, lizzy, to fall in love merely because

you are warned against it; and, therefore, i am not afraid of speaking

openly. seriously, i would have you be on your guard. do not involve

yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want

of fortune would make so very imprudent. i have nothing to say against

_him_; he is a most interesting young man; and if he had the fortune he

ought to have, i should think you could not do better. but as it is, you

must not let your fancy run away with you. you have sense, and we all

expect you to use it. your father would depend on _your_ resolution and

good conduct, i am sure. you must not disappoint your father."

"my dear aunt, this is being serious indeed."

"yes, and i hope to engage you to be serious likewise."

"well, then, you need not be under any alarm. i will take care of

myself, and of mr. wickham too. he shall not be in love with me, if i

can prevent it."

"elizabeth, you are not serious now."

"i beg your pardon, i will try again. at present i am not in love with

mr. wickham; no, i certainly am not. but he is, beyond all comparison,

the most agreeable man i ever saw--and if he becomes really attached to

me--i believe it will be better that he should not. i see the imprudence

of it. oh! _that_ abominable mr. darcy! my father's opinion of me does

me the greatest honour, and i should be miserable to forfeit it. my

father, however, is partial to mr. wickham. in short, my dear aunt, i

should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy; but

since we see every day that where there is affection, young people

are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into

engagements with each other, how can i promise to be wiser than so many

of my fellow-creatures if i am tempted, or how am i even to know that it

would be wisdom to resist? all that i can promise you, therefore, is not

to be in a hurry. i will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first

object. when i am in company with him, i will not be wishing. in short,

i will do my best."

"perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very

often. at least, you should not _remind_ your mother of inviting him."

"as i did the other day," said elizabeth with a conscious smile: "very

true, it will be wise in me to refrain from _that_. but do not imagine

that he is always here so often. it is on your account that he has been

so frequently invited this week. you know my mother's ideas as to the

necessity of constant company for her friends. but really, and upon my

honour, i will try to do what i think to be the wisest; and now i hope

you are satisfied."

her aunt assured her that she was, and elizabeth having thanked her for

the kindness of her hints, they parted; a wonderful instance of advice

being given on such a point, without being resented.

mr. collins returned into hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted

by the gardiners and jane; but as he took up his abode with the lucases,

his arrival was no great inconvenience to mrs. bennet. his marriage was

now fast approaching, and she was at length so far resigned as to think

it inevitable, and even repeatedly to say, in an ill-natured tone, that

she "_wished_ they might be happy." thursday was to be the wedding day,

and on wednesday miss lucas paid her farewell visit; and when she

rose to take leave, elizabeth, ashamed of her mother's ungracious and

reluctant good wishes, and sincerely affected herself, accompanied her

out of the room. as they went downstairs together, charlotte said:

"i shall depend on hearing from you very often, eliza."

"_that_ you certainly shall."

"and i have another favour to ask you. will you come and see me?"

"we shall often meet, i hope, in hertfordshire."

"i am not likely to leave kent for some time. promise me, therefore, to

come to hunsford."

elizabeth could not refuse, though she foresaw little pleasure in the

visit.

"my father and maria are coming to me in march," added charlotte, "and i

hope you will consent to be of the party. indeed, eliza, you will be as

welcome as either of them."

the wedding took place; the bride and bridegroom set off for kent from

the church door, and everybody had as much to say, or to hear, on

the subject as usual. elizabeth soon heard from her friend; and their

correspondence was as regular and frequent as it had ever been; that

it should be equally unreserved was impossible. elizabeth could never

address her without feeling that all the comfort of intimacy was over,

and though determined not to slacken as a correspondent, it was for the

sake of what had been, rather than what was. charlotte's first letters

were received with a good deal of eagerness; there could not but be

curiosity to know how she would speak of her new home, how she would

like lady catherine, and how happy she would dare pronounce herself to

be; though, when the letters were read, elizabeth felt that charlotte

expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen. she

wrote cheerfully, seemed surrounded with comforts, and mentioned nothing

which she could not praise. the house, furniture, neighbourhood, and

roads, were all to her taste, and lady catherine's behaviour was most

friendly and obliging. it was mr. collins's picture of hunsford and

rosings rationally softened; and elizabeth perceived that she must wait

for her own visit there to know the rest.

jane had already written a few lines to her sister to announce their

safe arrival in london; and when she wrote again, elizabeth hoped it

would be in her power to say something of the bingleys.

her impatience for this second letter was as well rewarded as impatience

generally is. jane had been a week in town without either seeing or

hearing from caroline. she accounted for it, however, by supposing that

her last letter to her friend from longbourn had by some accident been

lost.

"my aunt," she continued, "is going to-morrow into that part of the

town, and i shall take the opportunity of calling in grosvenor street."

she wrote again when the visit was paid, and she had seen miss bingley.

"i did not think caroline in spirits," were her words, "but she was very

glad to see me, and reproached me for giving her no notice of my coming

to london. i was right, therefore, my last letter had never reached

her. i inquired after their brother, of course. he was well, but so much

engaged with mr. darcy that they scarcely ever saw him. i found that

miss darcy was expected to dinner. i wish i could see her. my visit was

not long, as caroline and mrs. hurst were going out. i dare say i shall

see them soon here."

elizabeth shook her head over this letter. it convinced her that

accident only could discover to mr. bingley her sister's being in town.

four weeks passed away, and jane saw nothing of him. she endeavoured to

persuade herself that she did not regret it; but she could no longer be

blind to miss bingley's inattention. after waiting at home every morning

for a fortnight, and inventing every evening a fresh excuse for her, the

visitor did at last appear; but the shortness of her stay, and yet more,

the alteration of her manner would allow jane to deceive herself no

longer. the letter which she wrote on this occasion to her sister will

prove what she felt.

"my dearest lizzy will, i am sure, be incapable of triumphing in her

better judgement, at my expense, when i confess myself to have been

entirely deceived in miss bingley's regard for me. but, my dear sister,

though the event has proved you right, do not think me obstinate if i

still assert that, considering what her behaviour was, my confidence was

as natural as your suspicion. i do not at all comprehend her reason for

wishing to be intimate with me; but if the same circumstances were to

happen again, i am sure i should be deceived again. caroline did not

return my visit till yesterday; and not a note, not a line, did i

receive in the meantime. when she did come, it was very evident that

she had no pleasure in it; she made a slight, formal apology, for not

calling before, said not a word of wishing to see me again, and was

in every respect so altered a creature, that when she went away i was

perfectly resolved to continue the acquaintance no longer. i pity,

though i cannot help blaming her. she was very wrong in singling me out

as she did; i can safely say that every advance to intimacy began on

her side. but i pity her, because she must feel that she has been acting

wrong, and because i am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the

cause of it. i need not explain myself farther; and though _we_ know

this anxiety to be quite needless, yet if she feels it, it will easily

account for her behaviour to me; and so deservedly dear as he is to

his sister, whatever anxiety she must feel on his behalf is natural and

amiable. i cannot but wonder, however, at her having any such fears now,

because, if he had at all cared about me, we must have met, long ago.

he knows of my being in town, i am certain, from something she said

herself; and yet it would seem, by her manner of talking, as if she

wanted to persuade herself that he is really partial to miss darcy. i

cannot understand it. if i were not afraid of judging harshly, i should

be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity

in all this. but i will endeavour to banish every painful thought,

and think only of what will make me happy--your affection, and the

invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt. let me hear from you very

soon. miss bingley said something of his never returning to netherfield

again, of giving up the house, but not with any certainty. we had better

not mention it. i am extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts

from our friends at hunsford. pray go to see them, with sir william and

maria. i am sure you will be very comfortable there.--yours, etc."

this letter gave elizabeth some pain; but her spirits returned as she

considered that jane would no longer be duped, by the sister at least.

all expectation from the brother was now absolutely over. she would not

even wish for a renewal of his attentions. his character sunk on

every review of it; and as a punishment for him, as well as a possible

advantage to jane, she seriously hoped he might really soon marry mr.

darcy's sister, as by wickham's account, she would make him abundantly

regret what he had thrown away.

mrs. gardiner about this time reminded elizabeth of her promise

concerning that gentleman, and required information; and elizabeth

had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to

herself. his apparent partiality had subsided, his attentions were over,

he was the admirer of some one else. elizabeth was watchful enough to

see it all, but she could see it and write of it without material pain.

her heart had been but slightly touched, and her vanity was satisfied

with believing that _she_ would have been his only choice, had fortune

permitted it. the sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most

remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself

agreeable; but elizabeth, less clear-sighted perhaps in this case than

in charlotte's, did not quarrel with him for his wish of independence.

nothing, on the contrary, could be more natural; and while able to

suppose that it cost him a few struggles to relinquish her, she was

ready to allow it a wise and desirable measure for both, and could very

sincerely wish him happy.

all this was acknowledged to mrs. gardiner; and after relating the

circumstances, she thus went on: "i am now convinced, my dear aunt, that

i have never been much in love; for had i really experienced that pure

and elevating passion, i should at present detest his very name, and

wish him all manner of evil. but my feelings are not only cordial

towards _him_; they are even impartial towards miss king. i cannot find

out that i hate her at all, or that i am in the least unwilling to

think her a very good sort of girl. there can be no love in all this. my

watchfulness has been effectual; and though i certainly should be a more

interesting object to all my acquaintances were i distractedly in love

with him, i cannot say that i regret my comparative insignificance.

importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly. kitty and lydia take

his defection much more to heart than i do. they are young in the

ways of the world, and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that

handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain."

chapter 27

with no greater events than these in the longbourn family, and otherwise

diversified by little beyond the walks to meryton, sometimes dirty and

sometimes cold, did january and february pass away. march was to take

elizabeth to hunsford. she had not at first thought very seriously of

going thither; but charlotte, she soon found, was depending on the plan

and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure

as well as greater certainty. absence had increased her desire of seeing

charlotte again, and weakened her disgust of mr. collins. there

was novelty in the scheme, and as, with such a mother and such

uncompanionable sisters, home could not be faultless, a little change

was not unwelcome for its own sake. the journey would moreover give her

a peep at jane; and, in short, as the time drew near, she would have

been very sorry for any delay. everything, however, went on smoothly,

and was finally settled according to charlotte's first sketch. she was

to accompany sir william and his second daughter. the improvement

of spending a night in london was added in time, and the plan became

perfect as plan could be.

the only pain was in leaving her father, who would certainly miss her,

and who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going, that he

told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter.

the farewell between herself and mr. wickham was perfectly friendly; on

his side even more. his present pursuit could not make him forget that

elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention, the

first to listen and to pity, the first to be admired; and in his manner

of bidding her adieu, wishing her every enjoyment, reminding her of

what she was to expect in lady catherine de bourgh, and trusting their

opinion of her--their opinion of everybody--would always coincide, there

was a solicitude, an interest which she felt must ever attach her to

him with a most sincere regard; and she parted from him convinced that,

whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable

and pleasing.

her fellow-travellers the next day were not of a kind to make her

think him less agreeable. sir william lucas, and his daughter maria, a

good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say

that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much

delight as the rattle of the chaise. elizabeth loved absurdities, but

she had known sir william's too long. he could tell her nothing new of

the wonders of his presentation and knighthood; and his civilities were

worn out, like his information.

it was a journey of only twenty-four miles, and they began it so early

as to be in gracechurch street by noon. as they drove to mr. gardiner's

door, jane was at a drawing-room window watching their arrival; when

they entered the passage she was there to welcome them, and elizabeth,

looking earnestly in her face, was pleased to see it healthful and

lovely as ever. on the stairs were a troop of little boys and girls,

whose eagerness for their cousin's appearance would not allow them to

wait in the drawing-room, and whose shyness, as they had not seen

her for a twelvemonth, prevented their coming lower. all was joy and

kindness. the day passed most pleasantly away; the morning in bustle and

shopping, and the evening at one of the theatres.

elizabeth then contrived to sit by her aunt. their first object was her

sister; and she was more grieved than astonished to hear, in reply to

her minute inquiries, that though jane always struggled to support her

spirits, there were periods of dejection. it was reasonable, however,

to hope that they would not continue long. mrs. gardiner gave her the

particulars also of miss bingley's visit in gracechurch street, and

repeated conversations occurring at different times between jane and

herself, which proved that the former had, from her heart, given up the

acquaintance.

mrs. gardiner then rallied her niece on wickham's desertion, and

complimented her on bearing it so well.

"but my dear elizabeth," she added, "what sort of girl is miss king? i

should be sorry to think our friend mercenary."

"pray, my dear aunt, what is the difference in matrimonial affairs,

between the mercenary and the prudent motive? where does discretion end,

and avarice begin? last christmas you were afraid of his marrying me,

because it would be imprudent; and now, because he is trying to get

a girl with only ten thousand pounds, you want to find out that he is

mercenary."

"if you will only tell me what sort of girl miss king is, i shall know

what to think."

"she is a very good kind of girl, i believe. i know no harm of her."

"but he paid her not the smallest attention till her grandfather's death

made her mistress of this fortune."

"no--why should he? if it were not allowable for him to gain _my_

affections because i had no money, what occasion could there be for

making love to a girl whom he did not care about, and who was equally

poor?"

"but there seems an indelicacy in directing his attentions towards her

so soon after this event."

"a man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant

decorums which other people may observe. if _she_ does not object to it,

why should _we_?"

"_her_ not objecting does not justify _him_. it only shows her being

deficient in something herself--sense or feeling."

"well," cried elizabeth, "have it as you choose. _he_ shall be

mercenary, and _she_ shall be foolish."

"no, lizzy, that is what i do _not_ choose. i should be sorry, you know,

to think ill of a young man who has lived so long in derbyshire."

"oh! if that is all, i have a very poor opinion of young men who live in

derbyshire; and their intimate friends who live in hertfordshire are not

much better. i am sick of them all. thank heaven! i am going to-morrow

where i shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has

neither manner nor sense to recommend him. stupid men are the only ones

worth knowing, after all."

"take care, lizzy; that speech savours strongly of disappointment."

before they were separated by the conclusion of the play, she had the

unexpected happiness of an invitation to accompany her uncle and aunt in

a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer.

"we have not determined how far it shall carry us," said mrs. gardiner,

"but, perhaps, to the lakes."

no scheme could have been more agreeable to elizabeth, and her

acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful. "oh, my dear,

dear aunt," she rapturously cried, "what delight! what felicity! you

give me fresh life and vigour. adieu to disappointment and spleen. what

are young men to rocks and mountains? oh! what hours of transport

we shall spend! and when we _do_ return, it shall not be like other

travellers, without being able to give one accurate idea of anything. we

_will_ know where we have gone--we _will_ recollect what we have seen.

lakes, mountains, and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our

imaginations; nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene,

will we begin quarreling about its relative situation. let _our_

first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of

travellers."

chapter 28

every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to

elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had

seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health,

and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight.

when they left the high road for the lane to hunsford, every eye was in

search of the parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view.

the palings of rosings park was their boundary on one side. elizabeth

smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.

at length the parsonage was discernible. the garden sloping to the

road, the house standing in it, the green pales, and the laurel hedge,

everything declared they were arriving. mr. collins and charlotte

appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at the small gate which

led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of

the whole party. in a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing

at the sight of each other. mrs. collins welcomed her friend with the

liveliest pleasure, and elizabeth was more and more satisfied with

coming when she found herself so affectionately received. she saw

instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage;

his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some

minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her

family. they were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the

neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they

were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time, with ostentatious

formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's

offers of refreshment.

elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory; and she could not help

in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room, its

aspect and its furniture, he addressed himself particularly to her,

as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him. but

though everything seemed neat and comfortable, she was not able to

gratify him by any sigh of repentance, and rather looked with wonder at

her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion.

when mr. collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be

ashamed, which certainly was not unseldom, she involuntarily turned her

eye on charlotte. once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but

in general charlotte wisely did not hear. after sitting long enough to

admire every article of furniture in the room, from the sideboard to

the fender, to give an account of their journey, and of all that had

happened in london, mr. collins invited them to take a stroll in the

garden, which was large and well laid out, and to the cultivation of

which he attended himself. to work in this garden was one of his most

respectable pleasures; and elizabeth admired the command of countenance

with which charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise, and

owned she encouraged it as much as possible. here, leading the way

through every walk and cross walk, and scarcely allowing them an

interval to utter the praises he asked for, every view was pointed out

with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind. he could number the

fields in every direction, and could tell how many trees there were in

the most distant clump. but of all the views which his garden, or which

the country or kingdom could boast, none were to be compared with the

prospect of rosings, afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered

the park nearly opposite the front of his house. it was a handsome

modern building, well situated on rising ground.

from his garden, mr. collins would have led them round his two meadows;

but the ladies, not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white

frost, turned back; and while sir william accompanied him, charlotte

took her sister and friend over the house, extremely well pleased,

probably, to have the opportunity of showing it without her husband's

help. it was rather small, but well built and convenient; and everything

was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which

elizabeth gave charlotte all the credit. when mr. collins could be

forgotten, there was really an air of great comfort throughout, and by

charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, elizabeth supposed he must be often

forgotten.

she had already learnt that lady catherine was still in the country. it

was spoken of again while they were at dinner, when mr. collins joining

in, observed:

"yes, miss elizabeth, you will have the honour of seeing lady catherine

de bourgh on the ensuing sunday at church, and i need not say you will

be delighted with her. she is all affability and condescension, and i

doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice

when service is over. i have scarcely any hesitation in saying she

will include you and my sister maria in every invitation with which she

honours us during your stay here. her behaviour to my dear charlotte is

charming. we dine at rosings twice every week, and are never allowed

to walk home. her ladyship's carriage is regularly ordered for us. i

_should_ say, one of her ladyship's carriages, for she has several."

"lady catherine is a very respectable, sensible woman indeed," added

charlotte, "and a most attentive neighbour."

"very true, my dear, that is exactly what i say. she is the sort of

woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference."

the evening was spent chiefly in talking over hertfordshire news,

and telling again what had already been written; and when it closed,

elizabeth, in the solitude of her chamber, had to meditate upon

charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding,

and composure in bearing with, her husband, and to acknowledge that it

was all done very well. she had also to anticipate how her visit

would pass, the quiet tenor of their usual employments, the vexatious

interruptions of mr. collins, and the gaieties of their intercourse with

rosings. a lively imagination soon settled it all.

about the middle of the next day, as she was in her room getting ready

for a walk, a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in

confusion; and, after listening a moment, she heard somebody running

up stairs in a violent hurry, and calling loudly after her. she opened

the door and met maria in the landing place, who, breathless with

agitation, cried out--

"oh, my dear eliza! pray make haste and come into the dining-room, for

there is such a sight to be seen! i will not tell you what it is. make

haste, and come down this moment."

elizabeth asked questions in vain; maria would tell her nothing more,

and down they ran into the dining-room, which fronted the lane, in

quest of this wonder; it was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the

garden gate.

"and is this all?" cried elizabeth. "i expected at least that the pigs

were got into the garden, and here is nothing but lady catherine and her

daughter."

"la! my dear," said maria, quite shocked at the mistake, "it is not

lady catherine. the old lady is mrs. jenkinson, who lives with them;

the other is miss de bourgh. only look at her. she is quite a little

creature. who would have thought that she could be so thin and small?"

"she is abominably rude to keep charlotte out of doors in all this wind.

why does she not come in?"

"oh, charlotte says she hardly ever does. it is the greatest of favours

when miss de bourgh comes in."

"i like her appearance," said elizabeth, struck with other ideas. "she

looks sickly and cross. yes, she will do for him very well. she will

make him a very proper wife."

mr. collins and charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation

with the ladies; and sir william, to elizabeth's high diversion, was

stationed in the doorway, in earnest contemplation of the greatness

before him, and constantly bowing whenever miss de bourgh looked that

way.

at length there was nothing more to be said; the ladies drove on, and

the others returned into the house. mr. collins no sooner saw the two

girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune, which

charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked

to dine at rosings the next day.

chapter 29

mr. collins's triumph, in consequence of this invitation, was complete.

the power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering

visitors, and of letting them see her civility towards himself and his

wife, was exactly what he had wished for; and that an opportunity

of doing it should be given so soon, was such an instance of lady

catherine's condescension, as he knew not how to admire enough.

"i confess," said he, "that i should not have been at all surprised by

her ladyship's asking us on sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at

rosings. i rather expected, from my knowledge of her affability, that it

would happen. but who could have foreseen such an attention as this? who

could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there

(an invitation, moreover, including the whole party) so immediately

after your arrival!"

"i am the less surprised at what has happened," replied sir william,

"from that knowledge of what the manners of the great really are, which

my situation in life has allowed me to acquire. about the court, such

instances of elegant breeding are not uncommon."

scarcely anything was talked of the whole day or next morning but their

visit to rosings. mr. collins was carefully instructing them in what

they were to expect, that the sight of such rooms, so many servants, and

so splendid a dinner, might not wholly overpower them.

when the ladies were separating for the toilette, he said to elizabeth--

"do not make yourself uneasy, my dear cousin, about your apparel. lady

catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which

becomes herself and her daughter. i would advise you merely to put on

whatever of your clothes is superior to the rest--there is no occasion

for anything more. lady catherine will not think the worse of you

for being simply dressed. she likes to have the distinction of rank

preserved."

while they were dressing, he came two or three times to their different

doors, to recommend their being quick, as lady catherine very much

objected to be kept waiting for her dinner. such formidable accounts of

her ladyship, and her manner of living, quite frightened maria lucas

who had been little used to company, and she looked forward to her

introduction at rosings with as much apprehension as her father had done

to his presentation at st. james's.

as the weather was fine, they had a pleasant walk of about half a

mile across the park. every park has its beauty and its prospects; and

elizabeth saw much to be pleased with, though she could not be in such

raptures as mr. collins expected the scene to inspire, and was but

slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the

house, and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally

cost sir lewis de bourgh.

when they ascended the steps to the hall, maria's alarm was every

moment increasing, and even sir william did not look perfectly calm.

elizabeth's courage did not fail her. she had heard nothing of lady

catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or

miraculous virtue, and the mere stateliness of money or rank she thought

she could witness without trepidation.

from the entrance-hall, of which mr. collins pointed out, with a

rapturous air, the fine proportion and the finished ornaments, they

followed the servants through an ante-chamber, to the room where lady

catherine, her daughter, and mrs. jenkinson were sitting. her ladyship,

with great condescension, arose to receive them; and as mrs. collins had

settled it with her husband that the office of introduction should

be hers, it was performed in a proper manner, without any of those

apologies and thanks which he would have thought necessary.

in spite of having been at st. james's, sir william was so completely

awed by the grandeur surrounding him, that he had but just courage

enough to make a very low bow, and take his seat without saying a word;

and his daughter, frightened almost out of her senses, sat on the edge

of her chair, not knowing which way to look. elizabeth found herself

quite equal to the scene, and could observe the three ladies before her

composedly. lady catherine was a tall, large woman, with strongly-marked

features, which might once have been handsome. her air was not

conciliating, nor was her manner of receiving them such as to make her

visitors forget their inferior rank. she was not rendered formidable by

silence; but whatever she said was spoken in so authoritative a tone,

as marked her self-importance, and brought mr. wickham immediately to

elizabeth's mind; and from the observation of the day altogether, she

believed lady catherine to be exactly what he represented.

when, after examining the mother, in whose countenance and deportment

she soon found some resemblance of mr. darcy, she turned her eyes on the

daughter, she could almost have joined in maria's astonishment at her

being so thin and so small. there was neither in figure nor face any

likeness between the ladies. miss de bourgh was pale and sickly; her

features, though not plain, were insignificant; and she spoke very

little, except in a low voice, to mrs. jenkinson, in whose appearance

there was nothing remarkable, and who was entirely engaged in listening

to what she said, and placing a screen in the proper direction before

her eyes.

after sitting a few minutes, they were all sent to one of the windows to

admire the view, mr. collins attending them to point out its beauties,

and lady catherine kindly informing them that it was much better worth

looking at in the summer.

the dinner was exceedingly handsome, and there were all the servants and

all the articles of plate which mr. collins had promised; and, as he had

likewise foretold, he took his seat at the bottom of the table, by her

ladyship's desire, and looked as if he felt that life could furnish

nothing greater. he carved, and ate, and praised with delighted

alacrity; and every dish was commended, first by him and then by sir

william, who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his son-in-law

said, in a manner which elizabeth wondered lady catherine could bear.

but lady catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration, and

gave most gracious smiles, especially when any dish on the table proved

a novelty to them. the party did not supply much conversation. elizabeth

was ready to speak whenever there was an opening, but she was seated

between charlotte and miss de bourgh--the former of whom was engaged in

listening to lady catherine, and the latter said not a word to her all

dinner-time. mrs. jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little

miss de bourgh ate, pressing her to try some other dish, and fearing

she was indisposed. maria thought speaking out of the question, and the

gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire.

when the ladies returned to the drawing-room, there was little to

be done but to hear lady catherine talk, which she did without any

intermission till coffee came in, delivering her opinion on every

subject in so decisive a manner, as proved that she was not used to

have her judgement controverted. she inquired into charlotte's domestic

concerns familiarly and minutely, gave her a great deal of advice as

to the management of them all; told her how everything ought to be

regulated in so small a family as hers, and instructed her as to the

care of her cows and her poultry. elizabeth found that nothing was

beneath this great lady's attention, which could furnish her with an

occasion of dictating to others. in the intervals of her discourse

with mrs. collins, she addressed a variety of questions to maria and

elizabeth, but especially to the latter, of whose connections she knew

the least, and who she observed to mrs. collins was a very genteel,

pretty kind of girl. she asked her, at different times, how many sisters

she had, whether they were older or younger than herself, whether any of

them were likely to be married, whether they were handsome, where they

had been educated, what carriage her father kept, and what had been

her mother's maiden name? elizabeth felt all the impertinence of

her questions but answered them very composedly. lady catherine then

observed,

"your father's estate is entailed on mr. collins, i think. for your

sake," turning to charlotte, "i am glad of it; but otherwise i see no

occasion for entailing estates from the female line. it was not thought

necessary in sir lewis de bourgh's family. do you play and sing, miss

bennet?"

"a little."

"oh! then--some time or other we shall be happy to hear you. our

instrument is a capital one, probably superior to----you shall try it

some day. do your sisters play and sing?"

"one of them does."

"why did not you all learn? you ought all to have learned. the miss

webbs all play, and their father has not so good an income as yours. do

you draw?"

"no, not at all."

"what, none of you?"

"not one."

"that is very strange. but i suppose you had no opportunity. your mother

should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters."

"my mother would have had no objection, but my father hates london."

"has your governess left you?"

"we never had any governess."

"no governess! how was that possible? five daughters brought up at home

without a governess! i never heard of such a thing. your mother must

have been quite a slave to your education."

elizabeth could hardly help smiling as she assured her that had not been

the case.

"then, who taught you? who attended to you? without a governess, you

must have been neglected."

"compared with some families, i believe we were; but such of us as

wished to learn never wanted the means. we were always encouraged to

read, and had all the masters that were necessary. those who chose to be

idle, certainly might."

"aye, no doubt; but that is what a governess will prevent, and if i had

known your mother, i should have advised her most strenuously to engage

one. i always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady

and regular instruction, and nobody but a governess can give it. it is

wonderful how many families i have been the means of supplying in that

way. i am always glad to get a young person well placed out. four nieces

of mrs. jenkinson are most delightfully situated through my means; and

it was but the other day that i recommended another young person,

who was merely accidentally mentioned to me, and the family are quite

delighted with her. mrs. collins, did i tell you of lady metcalf's

calling yesterday to thank me? she finds miss pope a treasure. 'lady

catherine,' said she, 'you have given me a treasure.' are any of your

younger sisters out, miss bennet?"

"yes, ma'am, all."

"all! what, all five out at once? very odd! and you only the second. the

younger ones out before the elder ones are married! your younger sisters

must be very young?"

"yes, my youngest is not sixteen. perhaps _she_ is full young to be

much in company. but really, ma'am, i think it would be very hard upon

younger sisters, that they should not have their share of society and

amusement, because the elder may not have the means or inclination to

marry early. the last-born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth

as the first. and to be kept back on _such_ a motive! i think it would

not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind."

"upon my word," said her ladyship, "you give your opinion very decidedly

for so young a person. pray, what is your age?"

"with three younger sisters grown up," replied elizabeth, smiling, "your

ladyship can hardly expect me to own it."

lady catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer;

and elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever

dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence.

"you cannot be more than twenty, i am sure, therefore you need not

conceal your age."

"i am not one-and-twenty."

when the gentlemen had joined them, and tea was over, the card-tables

were placed. lady catherine, sir william, and mr. and mrs. collins sat

down to quadrille; and as miss de bourgh chose to play at cassino, the

two girls had the honour of assisting mrs. jenkinson to make up her

party. their table was superlatively stupid. scarcely a syllable was

uttered that did not relate to the game, except when mrs. jenkinson

expressed her fears of miss de bourgh's being too hot or too cold, or

having too much or too little light. a great deal more passed at the

other table. lady catherine was generally speaking--stating the mistakes

of the three others, or relating some anecdote of herself. mr. collins

was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship said, thanking her

for every fish he won, and apologising if he thought he won too many.

sir william did not say much. he was storing his memory with anecdotes

and noble names.

when lady catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose,

the tables were broken up, the carriage was offered to mrs. collins,

gratefully accepted and immediately ordered. the party then gathered

round the fire to hear lady catherine determine what weather they were

to have on the morrow. from these instructions they were summoned by

the arrival of the coach; and with many speeches of thankfulness on mr.

collins's side and as many bows on sir william's they departed. as soon

as they had driven from the door, elizabeth was called on by her cousin

to give her opinion of all that she had seen at rosings, which, for

charlotte's sake, she made more favourable than it really was. but her

commendation, though costing her some trouble, could by no means satisfy

mr. collins, and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyship's praise

into his own hands.

chapter 30

sir william stayed only a week at hunsford, but his visit was long

enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled,

and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not

often met with. while sir william was with them, mr. collins devoted his

morning to driving him out in his gig, and showing him the country; but

when he went away, the whole family returned to their usual employments,

and elizabeth was thankful to find that they did not see more of her

cousin by the alteration, for the chief of the time between breakfast

and dinner was now passed by him either at work in the garden or in

reading and writing, and looking out of the window in his own book-room,

which fronted the road. the room in which the ladies sat was backwards.

elizabeth had at first rather wondered that charlotte should not prefer

the dining-parlour for common use; it was a better sized room, and had a

more pleasant aspect; but she soon saw that her friend had an excellent

reason for what she did, for mr. collins would undoubtedly have been

much less in his own apartment, had they sat in one equally lively; and

she gave charlotte credit for the arrangement.

from the drawing-room they could distinguish nothing in the lane, and

were indebted to mr. collins for the knowledge of what carriages went

along, and how often especially miss de bourgh drove by in her phaeton,

which he never failed coming to inform them of, though it happened

almost every day. she not unfrequently stopped at the parsonage, and

had a few minutes' conversation with charlotte, but was scarcely ever

prevailed upon to get out.

very few days passed in which mr. collins did not walk to rosings, and

not many in which his wife did not think it necessary to go likewise;

and till elizabeth recollected that there might be other family livings

to be disposed of, she could not understand the sacrifice of so many

hours. now and then they were honoured with a call from her ladyship,

and nothing escaped her observation that was passing in the room during

these visits. she examined into their employments, looked at their work,

and advised them to do it differently; found fault with the arrangement

of the furniture; or detected the housemaid in negligence; and if she

accepted any refreshment, seemed to do it only for the sake of finding

out that mrs. collins's joints of meat were too large for her family.

elizabeth soon perceived, that though this great lady was not in

commission of the peace of the county, she was a most active magistrate

in her own parish, the minutest concerns of which were carried to her

by mr. collins; and whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to

be quarrelsome, discontented, or too poor, she sallied forth into the

village to settle their differences, silence their complaints, and scold

them into harmony and plenty.

the entertainment of dining at rosings was repeated about twice a week;

and, allowing for the loss of sir william, and there being only one

card-table in the evening, every such entertainment was the counterpart

of the first. their other engagements were few, as the style of living

in the neighbourhood in general was beyond mr. collins's reach. this,

however, was no evil to elizabeth, and upon the whole she spent her time

comfortably enough; there were half-hours of pleasant conversation with

charlotte, and the weather was so fine for the time of year that she had

often great enjoyment out of doors. her favourite walk, and where she

frequently went while the others were calling on lady catherine, was

along the open grove which edged that side of the park, where there was

a nice sheltered path, which no one seemed to value but herself, and

where she felt beyond the reach of lady catherine's curiosity.

in this quiet way, the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away.

easter was approaching, and the week preceding it was to bring an

addition to the family at rosings, which in so small a circle must be

important. elizabeth had heard soon after her arrival that mr. darcy was

expected there in the course of a few weeks, and though there were not

many of her acquaintances whom she did not prefer, his coming would

furnish one comparatively new to look at in their rosings parties, and

she might be amused in seeing how hopeless miss bingley's designs on him

were, by his behaviour to his cousin, for whom he was evidently

destined by lady catherine, who talked of his coming with the greatest

satisfaction, spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration, and

seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by

miss lucas and herself.

his arrival was soon known at the parsonage; for mr. collins was walking

the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into hunsford lane,

in order to have the earliest assurance of it, and after making his

bow as the carriage turned into the park, hurried home with the great

intelligence. on the following morning he hastened to rosings to pay his

respects. there were two nephews of lady catherine to require them, for

mr. darcy had brought with him a colonel fitzwilliam, the younger son of

his uncle lord ----, and, to the great surprise of all the party, when

mr. collins returned, the gentlemen accompanied him. charlotte had seen

them from her husband's room, crossing the road, and immediately running

into the other, told the girls what an honour they might expect, adding:

"i may thank you, eliza, for this piece of civility. mr. darcy would

never have come so soon to wait upon me."

elizabeth had scarcely time to disclaim all right to the compliment,

before their approach was announced by the door-bell, and shortly

afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room. colonel fitzwilliam,

who led the way, was about thirty, not handsome, but in person and

address most truly the gentleman. mr. darcy looked just as he had been

used to look in hertfordshire--paid his compliments, with his usual

reserve, to mrs. collins, and whatever might be his feelings toward her

friend, met her with every appearance of composure. elizabeth merely

curtseyed to him without saying a word.

colonel fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the

readiness and ease of a well-bred man, and talked very pleasantly; but

his cousin, after having addressed a slight observation on the house and

garden to mrs. collins, sat for some time without speaking to anybody.

at length, however, his civility was so far awakened as to inquire of

elizabeth after the health of her family. she answered him in the usual

way, and after a moment's pause, added:

"my eldest sister has been in town these three months. have you never

happened to see her there?"

she was perfectly sensible that he never had; but she wished to see

whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between

the bingleys and jane, and she thought he looked a little confused as he

answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet miss bennet. the

subject was pursued no farther, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went

away.

chapter 31

colonel fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the parsonage,

and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures

of their engagements at rosings. it was some days, however, before they

received any invitation thither--for while there were visitors in the

house, they could not be necessary; and it was not till easter-day,

almost a week after the gentlemen's arrival, that they were honoured by

such an attention, and then they were merely asked on leaving church to

come there in the evening. for the last week they had seen very little

of lady catherine or her daughter. colonel fitzwilliam had called at the

parsonage more than once during the time, but mr. darcy they had seen

only at church.

the invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined

the party in lady catherine's drawing-room. her ladyship received

them civilly, but it was plain that their company was by no means so

acceptable as when she could get nobody else; and she was, in fact,

almost engrossed by her nephews, speaking to them, especially to darcy,

much more than to any other person in the room.

colonel fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a

welcome relief to him at rosings; and mrs. collins's pretty friend had

moreover caught his fancy very much. he now seated himself by her, and

talked so agreeably of kent and hertfordshire, of travelling and staying

at home, of new books and music, that elizabeth had never been half so

well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much

spirit and flow, as to draw the attention of lady catherine herself,

as well as of mr. darcy. _his_ eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned

towards them with a look of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a

while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not

scruple to call out:

"what is that you are saying, fitzwilliam? what is it you are talking

of? what are you telling miss bennet? let me hear what it is."

"we are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid

a reply.

"of music! then pray speak aloud. it is of all subjects my delight. i

must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music.

there are few people in england, i suppose, who have more true enjoyment

of music than myself, or a better natural taste. if i had ever learnt,

i should have been a great proficient. and so would anne, if her health

had allowed her to apply. i am confident that she would have performed

delightfully. how does georgiana get on, darcy?"

mr. darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sister's proficiency.

"i am very glad to hear such a good account of her," said lady

catherine; "and pray tell her from me, that she cannot expect to excel

if she does not practice a good deal."

"i assure you, madam," he replied, "that she does not need such advice.

she practises very constantly."

"so much the better. it cannot be done too much; and when i next write

to her, i shall charge her not to neglect it on any account. i often

tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without

constant practice. i have told miss bennet several times, that she

will never play really well unless she practises more; and though mrs.

collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as i have often told

her, to come to rosings every day, and play on the pianoforte in mrs.

jenkinson's room. she would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part

of the house."

mr. darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding, and made

no answer.

when coffee was over, colonel fitzwilliam reminded elizabeth of having

promised to play to him; and she sat down directly to the instrument. he

drew a chair near her. lady catherine listened to half a song, and then

talked, as before, to her other nephew; till the latter walked away

from her, and making with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte

stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performer's

countenance. elizabeth saw what he was doing, and at the first

convenient pause, turned to him with an arch smile, and said:

"you mean to frighten me, mr. darcy, by coming in all this state to hear

me? i will not be alarmed though your sister _does_ play so well. there

is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the

will of others. my courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate

me."

"i shall not say you are mistaken," he replied, "because you could not

really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and i have

had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find

great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are

not your own."

elizabeth laughed heartily at this picture of herself, and said to

colonel fitzwilliam, "your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of

me, and teach you not to believe a word i say. i am particularly unlucky

in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character, in a part

of the world where i had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of

credit. indeed, mr. darcy, it is very ungenerous in you to mention all

that you knew to my disadvantage in hertfordshire--and, give me leave to

say, very impolitic too--for it is provoking me to retaliate, and such

things may come out as will shock your relations to hear."

"i am not afraid of you," said he, smilingly.

"pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of," cried colonel

fitzwilliam. "i should like to know how he behaves among strangers."

"you shall hear then--but prepare yourself for something very dreadful.

the first time of my ever seeing him in hertfordshire, you must know,

was at a ball--and at this ball, what do you think he did? he danced

only four dances, though gentlemen were scarce; and, to my certain

knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a

partner. mr. darcy, you cannot deny the fact."

"i had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly

beyond my own party."

"true; and nobody can ever be introduced in a ball-room. well, colonel

fitzwilliam, what do i play next? my fingers wait your orders."

"perhaps," said darcy, "i should have judged better, had i sought an

introduction; but i am ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers."

"shall we ask your cousin the reason of this?" said elizabeth, still

addressing colonel fitzwilliam. "shall we ask him why a man of sense and

education, and who has lived in the world, is ill qualified to recommend

himself to strangers?"

"i can answer your question," said fitzwilliam, "without applying to

him. it is because he will not give himself the trouble."

"i certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said darcy,

"of conversing easily with those i have never seen before. i cannot

catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their

concerns, as i often see done."

"my fingers," said elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the

masterly manner which i see so many women's do. they have not the same

force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. but then i

have always supposed it to be my own fault--because i will not take the

trouble of practising. it is not that i do not believe _my_ fingers as

capable as any other woman's of superior execution."

darcy smiled and said, "you are perfectly right. you have employed your

time much better. no one admitted to the privilege of hearing you can

think anything wanting. we neither of us perform to strangers."

here they were interrupted by lady catherine, who called out to know

what they were talking of. elizabeth immediately began playing again.

lady catherine approached, and, after listening for a few minutes, said

to darcy:

"miss bennet would not play at all amiss if she practised more, and

could have the advantage of a london master. she has a very good notion

of fingering, though her taste is not equal to anne's. anne would have

been a delightful performer, had her health allowed her to learn."

elizabeth looked at darcy to see how cordially he assented to his

cousin's praise; but neither at that moment nor at any other could she

discern any symptom of love; and from the whole of his behaviour to miss

de bourgh she derived this comfort for miss bingley, that he might have

been just as likely to marry _her_, had she been his relation.

lady catherine continued her remarks on elizabeth's performance, mixing

with them many instructions on execution and taste. elizabeth received

them with all the forbearance of civility, and, at the request of the

gentlemen, remained at the instrument till her ladyship's carriage was

ready to take them all home.

chapter 32

elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning, and writing to jane

while mrs. collins and maria were gone on business into the village,

when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain signal of a

visitor. as she had heard no carriage, she thought it not unlikely to

be lady catherine, and under that apprehension was putting away her

half-finished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions,

when the door opened, and, to her very great surprise, mr. darcy, and

mr. darcy only, entered the room.

he seemed astonished too on finding her alone, and apologised for his

intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies were

to be within.

they then sat down, and when her inquiries after rosings were made,

seemed in danger of sinking into total silence. it was absolutely

necessary, therefore, to think of something, and in this emergence

recollecting _when_ she had seen him last in hertfordshire, and

feeling curious to know what he would say on the subject of their hasty

departure, she observed:

"how very suddenly you all quitted netherfield last november, mr. darcy!

it must have been a most agreeable surprise to mr. bingley to see you

all after him so soon; for, if i recollect right, he went but the day

before. he and his sisters were well, i hope, when you left london?"

"perfectly so, i thank you."

she found that she was to receive no other answer, and, after a short

pause added:

"i think i have understood that mr. bingley has not much idea of ever

returning to netherfield again?"

"i have never heard him say so; but it is probable that he may spend

very little of his time there in the future. he has many friends, and

is at a time of life when friends and engagements are continually

increasing."

"if he means to be but little at netherfield, it would be better for

the neighbourhood that he should give up the place entirely, for then we

might possibly get a settled family there. but, perhaps, mr. bingley did

not take the house so much for the convenience of the neighbourhood as

for his own, and we must expect him to keep it or quit it on the same

principle."

"i should not be surprised," said darcy, "if he were to give it up as

soon as any eligible purchase offers."

elizabeth made no answer. she was afraid of talking longer of his

friend; and, having nothing else to say, was now determined to leave the

trouble of finding a subject to him.

he took the hint, and soon began with, "this seems a very comfortable

house. lady catherine, i believe, did a great deal to it when mr.

collins first came to hunsford."

"i believe she did--and i am sure she could not have bestowed her

kindness on a more grateful object."

"mr. collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife."

"yes, indeed, his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one

of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made

him happy if they had. my friend has an excellent understanding--though

i am not certain that i consider her marrying mr. collins as the

wisest thing she ever did. she seems perfectly happy, however, and in a

prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her."

"it must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a

distance of her own family and friends."

"an easy distance, do you call it? it is nearly fifty miles."

"and what is fifty miles of good road? little more than half a day's

journey. yes, i call it a _very_ easy distance."

"i should never have considered the distance as one of the _advantages_

of the match," cried elizabeth. "i should never have said mrs. collins

was settled _near_ her family."

"it is a proof of your own attachment to hertfordshire. anything beyond

the very neighbourhood of longbourn, i suppose, would appear far."

as he spoke there was a sort of smile which elizabeth fancied she

understood; he must be supposing her to be thinking of jane and

netherfield, and she blushed as she answered:

"i do not mean to say that a woman may not be settled too near her

family. the far and the near must be relative, and depend on many

varying circumstances. where there is fortune to make the expenses of

travelling unimportant, distance becomes no evil. but that is not the

case _here_. mr. and mrs. collins have a comfortable income, but not

such a one as will allow of frequent journeys--and i am persuaded my

friend would not call herself _near_ her family under less than _half_

the present distance."

mr. darcy drew his chair a little towards her, and said, "_you_ cannot

have a right to such very strong local attachment. _you_ cannot have

been always at longbourn."

elizabeth looked surprised. the gentleman experienced some change of

feeling; he drew back his chair, took a newspaper from the table, and

glancing over it, said, in a colder voice:

"are you pleased with kent?"

a short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued, on either side

calm and concise--and soon put an end to by the entrance of charlotte

and her sister, just returned from her walk. the tete-a-tete surprised

them. mr. darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding

on miss bennet, and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying

much to anybody, went away.

"what can be the meaning of this?" said charlotte, as soon as he was

gone. "my dear, eliza, he must be in love with you, or he would never

have called us in this familiar way."

but when elizabeth told of his silence, it did not seem very likely,

even to charlotte's wishes, to be the case; and after various

conjectures, they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed from

the difficulty of finding anything to do, which was the more probable

from the time of year. all field sports were over. within doors there

was lady catherine, books, and a billiard-table, but gentlemen cannot

always be within doors; and in the nearness of the parsonage, or the

pleasantness of the walk to it, or of the people who lived in it, the

two cousins found a temptation from this period of walking thither

almost every day. they called at various times of the morning, sometimes

separately, sometimes together, and now and then accompanied by their

aunt. it was plain to them all that colonel fitzwilliam came because he

had pleasure in their society, a persuasion which of course recommended

him still more; and elizabeth was reminded by her own satisfaction in

being with him, as well as by his evident admiration of her, of her

former favourite george wickham; and though, in comparing them, she saw

there was less captivating softness in colonel fitzwilliam's manners,

she believed he might have the best informed mind.

but why mr. darcy came so often to the parsonage, it was more difficult

to understand. it could not be for society, as he frequently sat there

ten minutes together without opening his lips; and when he did speak,

it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of choice--a sacrifice

to propriety, not a pleasure to himself. he seldom appeared really

animated. mrs. collins knew not what to make of him. colonel

fitzwilliam's occasionally laughing at his stupidity, proved that he was

generally different, which her own knowledge of him could not have told

her; and as she would liked to have believed this change the effect

of love, and the object of that love her friend eliza, she set herself

seriously to work to find it out. she watched him whenever they were at

rosings, and whenever he came to hunsford; but without much success. he

certainly looked at her friend a great deal, but the expression of that

look was disputable. it was an earnest, steadfast gaze, but she often

doubted whether there were much admiration in it, and sometimes it

seemed nothing but absence of mind.

she had once or twice suggested to elizabeth the possibility of his

being partial to her, but elizabeth always laughed at the idea; and mrs.

collins did not think it right to press the subject, from the danger of

raising expectations which might only end in disappointment; for in her

opinion it admitted not of a doubt, that all her friend's dislike would

vanish, if she could suppose him to be in her power.

in her kind schemes for elizabeth, she sometimes planned her marrying

colonel fitzwilliam. he was beyond comparison the most pleasant man; he

certainly admired her, and his situation in life was most eligible; but,

to counterbalance these advantages, mr. darcy had considerable patronage

in the church, and his cousin could have none at all.

chapter 33

more than once did elizabeth, in her ramble within the park,

unexpectedly meet mr. darcy. she felt all the perverseness of the

mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to

prevent its ever happening again, took care to inform him at first that

it was a favourite haunt of hers. how it could occur a second time,

therefore, was very odd! yet it did, and even a third. it seemed like

wilful ill-nature, or a voluntary penance, for on these occasions it was

not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away,

but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her. he

never said a great deal, nor did she give herself the trouble of talking

or of listening much; but it struck her in the course of their third

rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected questions--about

her pleasure in being at hunsford, her love of solitary walks, and her

opinion of mr. and mrs. collins's happiness; and that in speaking of

rosings and her not perfectly understanding the house, he seemed to

expect that whenever she came into kent again she would be staying

_there_ too. his words seemed to imply it. could he have colonel

fitzwilliam in his thoughts? she supposed, if he meant anything, he must

mean an allusion to what might arise in that quarter. it distressed

her a little, and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the

pales opposite the parsonage.

she was engaged one day as she walked, in perusing jane's last letter,

and dwelling on some passages which proved that jane had not written in

spirits, when, instead of being again surprised by mr. darcy, she saw

on looking up that colonel fitzwilliam was meeting her. putting away the

letter immediately and forcing a smile, she said:

"i did not know before that you ever walked this way."

"i have been making the tour of the park," he replied, "as i generally

do every year, and intend to close it with a call at the parsonage. are

you going much farther?"

"no, i should have turned in a moment."

and accordingly she did turn, and they walked towards the parsonage

together.

"do you certainly leave kent on saturday?" said she.

"yes--if darcy does not put it off again. but i am at his disposal. he

arranges the business just as he pleases."

"and if not able to please himself in the arrangement, he has at least

pleasure in the great power of choice. i do not know anybody who seems

more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than mr. darcy."

"he likes to have his own way very well," replied colonel fitzwilliam.

"but so we all do. it is only that he has better means of having it

than many others, because he is rich, and many others are poor. i speak

feelingly. a younger son, you know, must be inured to self-denial and

dependence."

"in my opinion, the younger son of an earl can know very little of

either. now seriously, what have you ever known of self-denial and

dependence? when have you been prevented by want of money from going

wherever you chose, or procuring anything you had a fancy for?"

"these are home questions--and perhaps i cannot say that i have

experienced many hardships of that nature. but in matters of greater

weight, i may suffer from want of money. younger sons cannot marry where

they like."

"unless where they like women of fortune, which i think they very often

do."

"our habits of expense make us too dependent, and there are not many

in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to

money."

"is this," thought elizabeth, "meant for me?" and she coloured at the

idea; but, recovering herself, said in a lively tone, "and pray, what

is the usual price of an earl's younger son? unless the elder brother is

very sickly, i suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds."

he answered her in the same style, and the subject dropped. to interrupt

a silence which might make him fancy her affected with what had passed,

she soon afterwards said:

"i imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of

having someone at his disposal. i wonder he does not marry, to secure a

lasting convenience of that kind. but, perhaps, his sister does as well

for the present, and, as she is under his sole care, he may do what he

likes with her."

"no," said colonel fitzwilliam, "that is an advantage which he must

divide with me. i am joined with him in the guardianship of miss darcy."

"are you indeed? and pray what sort of guardians do you make? does your

charge give you much trouble? young ladies of her age are sometimes a

little difficult to manage, and if she has the true darcy spirit, she

may like to have her own way."

as she spoke she observed him looking at her earnestly; and the manner

in which he immediately asked her why she supposed miss darcy likely to

give them any uneasiness, convinced her that she had somehow or other

got pretty near the truth. she directly replied:

"you need not be frightened. i never heard any harm of her; and i dare

say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world. she is a

very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance, mrs. hurst and

miss bingley. i think i have heard you say that you know them."

"i know them a little. their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike man--he

is a great friend of darcy's."

"oh! yes," said elizabeth drily; "mr. darcy is uncommonly kind to mr.

bingley, and takes a prodigious deal of care of him."

"care of him! yes, i really believe darcy _does_ take care of him in

those points where he most wants care. from something that he told me in

our journey hither, i have reason to think bingley very much indebted to

him. but i ought to beg his pardon, for i have no right to suppose that

bingley was the person meant. it was all conjecture."

"what is it you mean?"

"it is a circumstance which darcy could not wish to be generally known,

because if it were to get round to the lady's family, it would be an

unpleasant thing."

"you may depend upon my not mentioning it."

"and remember that i have not much reason for supposing it to be

bingley. what he told me was merely this: that he congratulated himself

on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most

imprudent marriage, but without mentioning names or any other

particulars, and i only suspected it to be bingley from believing

him the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort, and from

knowing them to have been together the whole of last summer."

"did mr. darcy give you reasons for this interference?"

"i understood that there were some very strong objections against the

lady."

"and what arts did he use to separate them?"

"he did not talk to me of his own arts," said fitzwilliam, smiling. "he

only told me what i have now told you."

elizabeth made no answer, and walked on, her heart swelling with

indignation. after watching her a little, fitzwilliam asked her why she

was so thoughtful.

"i am thinking of what you have been telling me," said she. "your

cousin's conduct does not suit my feelings. why was he to be the judge?"

"you are rather disposed to call his interference officious?"

"i do not see what right mr. darcy had to decide on the propriety of his

friend's inclination, or why, upon his own judgement alone, he was to

determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy.

but," she continued, recollecting herself, "as we know none of the

particulars, it is not fair to condemn him. it is not to be supposed

that there was much affection in the case."

"that is not an unnatural surmise," said fitzwilliam, "but it is a

lessening of the honour of my cousin's triumph very sadly."

this was spoken jestingly; but it appeared to her so just a picture

of mr. darcy, that she would not trust herself with an answer, and

therefore, abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent

matters until they reached the parsonage. there, shut into her own room,

as soon as their visitor left them, she could think without interruption

of all that she had heard. it was not to be supposed that any other

people could be meant than those with whom she was connected. there

could not exist in the world _two_ men over whom mr. darcy could have

such boundless influence. that he had been concerned in the measures

taken to separate bingley and jane she had never doubted; but she had

always attributed to miss bingley the principal design and arrangement

of them. if his own vanity, however, did not mislead him, _he_ was

the cause, his pride and caprice were the cause, of all that jane had

suffered, and still continued to suffer. he had ruined for a while

every hope of happiness for the most affectionate, generous heart in the

world; and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted.

"there were some very strong objections against the lady," were colonel

fitzwilliam's words; and those strong objections probably were, her

having one uncle who was a country attorney, and another who was in

business in london.

"to jane herself," she exclaimed, "there could be no possibility of

objection; all loveliness and goodness as she is!--her understanding

excellent, her mind improved, and her manners captivating. neither

could anything be urged against my father, who, though with some

peculiarities, has abilities mr. darcy himself need not disdain, and

respectability which he will probably never reach." when she thought of

her mother, her confidence gave way a little; but she would not allow

that any objections _there_ had material weight with mr. darcy, whose

pride, she was convinced, would receive a deeper wound from the want of

importance in his friend's connections, than from their want of sense;

and she was quite decided, at last, that he had been partly governed

by this worst kind of pride, and partly by the wish of retaining mr.

bingley for his sister.

the agitation and tears which the subject occasioned, brought on a

headache; and it grew so much worse towards the evening, that, added to

her unwillingness to see mr. darcy, it determined her not to attend her

cousins to rosings, where they were engaged to drink tea. mrs. collins,

seeing that she was really unwell, did not press her to go and as much

as possible prevented her husband from pressing her; but mr. collins

could not conceal his apprehension of lady catherine's being rather

displeased by her staying at home.

chapter 34

when they were gone, elizabeth, as if intending to exasperate herself

as much as possible against mr. darcy, chose for her employment the

examination of all the letters which jane had written to her since her

being in kent. they contained no actual complaint, nor was there any

revival of past occurrences, or any communication of present suffering.

but in all, and in almost every line of each, there was a want of that

cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style, and which,

proceeding from the serenity of a mind at ease with itself and kindly

disposed towards everyone, had been scarcely ever clouded. elizabeth

noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness, with an

attention which it had hardly received on the first perusal. mr. darcy's

shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict, gave her

a keener sense of her sister's sufferings. it was some consolation

to think that his visit to rosings was to end on the day after the

next--and, a still greater, that in less than a fortnight she should

herself be with jane again, and enabled to contribute to the recovery of

her spirits, by all that affection could do.

she could not think of darcy's leaving kent without remembering that

his cousin was to go with him; but colonel fitzwilliam had made it clear

that he had no intentions at all, and agreeable as he was, she did not

mean to be unhappy about him.

while settling this point, she was suddenly roused by the sound of the

door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its

being colonel fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in

the evening, and might now come to inquire particularly after her.

but this idea was soon banished, and her spirits were very differently

affected, when, to her utter amazement, she saw mr. darcy walk into the

room. in an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her

health, imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better.

she answered him with cold civility. he sat down for a few moments, and

then getting up, walked about the room. elizabeth was surprised, but

said not a word. after a silence of several minutes, he came towards her

in an agitated manner, and thus began:

"in vain i have struggled. it will not do. my feelings will not be

repressed. you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love

you."

elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. she stared, coloured,

doubted, and was silent. this he considered sufficient encouragement;

and the avowal of all that he felt, and had long felt for her,

immediately followed. he spoke well; but there were feelings besides

those of the heart to be detailed; and he was not more eloquent on the

subject of tenderness than of pride. his sense of her inferiority--of

its being a degradation--of the family obstacles which had always

opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to

the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his

suit.

in spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to

the compliment of such a man's affection, and though her intentions did

not vary for an instant, she was at first sorry for the pain he was to

receive; till, roused to resentment by his subsequent language, she

lost all compassion in anger. she tried, however, to compose herself to

answer him with patience, when he should have done. he concluded with

representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite

of all his endeavours, he had found impossible to conquer; and with

expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of

his hand. as he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt

of a favourable answer. he _spoke_ of apprehension and anxiety, but

his countenance expressed real security. such a circumstance could

only exasperate farther, and, when he ceased, the colour rose into her

cheeks, and she said:

"in such cases as this, it is, i believe, the established mode to

express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed, however

unequally they may be returned. it is natural that obligation should

be felt, and if i could _feel_ gratitude, i would now thank you. but i

cannot--i have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly

bestowed it most unwillingly. i am sorry to have occasioned pain to

anyone. it has been most unconsciously done, however, and i hope will be

of short duration. the feelings which, you tell me, have long prevented

the acknowledgment of your regard, can have little difficulty in

overcoming it after this explanation."

mr. darcy, who was leaning against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed

on her face, seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than

surprise. his complexion became pale with anger, and the disturbance

of his mind was visible in every feature. he was struggling for the

appearance of composure, and would not open his lips till he believed

himself to have attained it. the pause was to elizabeth's feelings

dreadful. at length, with a voice of forced calmness, he said:

"and this is all the reply which i am to have the honour of expecting!

i might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little _endeavour_ at

civility, i am thus rejected. but it is of small importance."

"i might as well inquire," replied she, "why with so evident a desire

of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me

against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?

was not this some excuse for incivility, if i _was_ uncivil? but i have

other provocations. you know i have. had not my feelings decided against

you--had they been indifferent, or had they even been favourable, do you

think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has

been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most

beloved sister?"

as she pronounced these words, mr. darcy changed colour; but the emotion

was short, and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she

continued:

"i have every reason in the world to think ill of you. no motive can

excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted _there_. you dare not,

you cannot deny, that you have been the principal, if not the only means

of dividing them from each other--of exposing one to the censure of the

world for caprice and instability, and the other to its derision for

disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest

kind."

she paused, and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening

with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse.

he even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity.

"can you deny that you have done it?" she repeated.

with assumed tranquillity he then replied: "i have no wish of denying

that i did everything in my power to separate my friend from your

sister, or that i rejoice in my success. towards _him_ i have been

kinder than towards myself."

elizabeth disdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection,

but its meaning did not escape, nor was it likely to conciliate her.

"but it is not merely this affair," she continued, "on which my dislike

is founded. long before it had taken place my opinion of you was

decided. your character was unfolded in the recital which i received

many months ago from mr. wickham. on this subject, what can you have to

say? in what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself?

or under what misrepresentation can you here impose upon others?"

"you take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns," said darcy,

in a less tranquil tone, and with a heightened colour.

"who that knows what his misfortunes have been, can help feeling an

interest in him?"

"his misfortunes!" repeated darcy contemptuously; "yes, his misfortunes

have been great indeed."

"and of your infliction," cried elizabeth with energy. "you have reduced

him to his present state of poverty--comparative poverty. you have

withheld the advantages which you must know to have been designed for

him. you have deprived the best years of his life of that independence

which was no less his due than his desert. you have done all this!

and yet you can treat the mention of his misfortune with contempt and

ridicule."

"and this," cried darcy, as he walked with quick steps across the room,

"is your opinion of me! this is the estimation in which you hold me!

i thank you for explaining it so fully. my faults, according to this

calculation, are heavy indeed! but perhaps," added he, stopping in

his walk, and turning towards her, "these offenses might have been

overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the

scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design. these

bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had i, with greater

policy, concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of

my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination; by reason, by

reflection, by everything. but disguise of every sort is my abhorrence.

nor am i ashamed of the feelings i related. they were natural and

just. could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your

connections?--to congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose

condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"

elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment; yet she tried to

the utmost to speak with composure when she said:

"you are mistaken, mr. darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your

declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern

which i might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more

gentlemanlike manner."

she saw him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued:

"you could not have made the offer of your hand in any possible way that

would have tempted me to accept it."

again his astonishment was obvious; and he looked at her with an

expression of mingled incredulity and mortification. she went on:

"from the very beginning--from the first moment, i may almost say--of

my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest

belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of

the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of

disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a

dislike; and i had not known you a month before i felt that you were the

last man in the world whom i could ever be prevailed on to marry."

"you have said quite enough, madam. i perfectly comprehend your

feelings, and have now only to be ashamed of what my own have been.

forgive me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept my best

wishes for your health and happiness."

and with these words he hastily left the room, and elizabeth heard him

the next moment open the front door and quit the house.

the tumult of her mind, was now painfully great. she knew not how

to support herself, and from actual weakness sat down and cried for

half-an-hour. her astonishment, as she reflected on what had passed,

was increased by every review of it. that she should receive an offer of

marriage from mr. darcy! that he should have been in love with her for

so many months! so much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of

all the objections which had made him prevent his friend's marrying

her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his

own case--was almost incredible! it was gratifying to have inspired

unconsciously so strong an affection. but his pride, his abominable

pride--his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to

jane--his unpardonable assurance in acknowledging, though he could

not justify it, and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned mr.

wickham, his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon

overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for

a moment excited. she continued in very agitated reflections till the

sound of lady catherine's carriage made her feel how unequal she was to

encounter charlotte's observation, and hurried her away to her room.

chapter 35

elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations

which had at length closed her eyes. she could not yet recover from the

surprise of what had happened; it was impossible to think of anything

else; and, totally indisposed for employment, she resolved, soon after

breakfast, to indulge herself in air and exercise. she was proceeding

directly to her favourite walk, when the recollection of mr. darcy's

sometimes coming there stopped her, and instead of entering the park,

she turned up the lane, which led farther from the turnpike-road. the

park paling was still the boundary on one side, and she soon passed one

of the gates into the ground.

after walking two or three times along that part of the lane, she was

tempted, by the pleasantness of the morning, to stop at the gates and

look into the park. the five weeks which she had now passed in kent had

made a great difference in the country, and every day was adding to the

verdure of the early trees. she was on the point of continuing her walk,

when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which

edged the park; he was moving that way; and, fearful of its being mr.

darcy, she was directly retreating. but the person who advanced was now

near enough to see her, and stepping forward with eagerness, pronounced

her name. she had turned away; but on hearing herself called, though

in a voice which proved it to be mr. darcy, she moved again towards the

gate. he had by that time reached it also, and, holding out a letter,

which she instinctively took, said, with a look of haughty composure,

"i have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you.

will you do me the honour of reading that letter?" and then, with a

slight bow, turned again into the plantation, and was soon out of sight.

with no expectation of pleasure, but with the strongest curiosity,

elizabeth opened the letter, and, to her still increasing wonder,

perceived an envelope containing two sheets of letter-paper, written

quite through, in a very close hand. the envelope itself was likewise

full. pursuing her way along the lane, she then began it. it was dated

from rosings, at eight o'clock in the morning, and was as follows:--

"be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension

of its containing any repetition of those sentiments or renewal of those

offers which were last night so disgusting to you. i write without any

intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes

which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon forgotten; and the

effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion,

should have been spared, had not my character required it to be written

and read. you must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which i demand

your attention; your feelings, i know, will bestow it unwillingly, but i

demand it of your justice.

"two offenses of a very different nature, and by no means of equal

magnitude, you last night laid to my charge. the first mentioned was,

that, regardless of the sentiments of either, i had detached mr. bingley

from your sister, and the other, that i had, in defiance of various

claims, in defiance of honour and humanity, ruined the immediate

prosperity and blasted the prospects of mr. wickham. wilfully and

wantonly to have thrown off the companion of my youth, the acknowledged

favourite of my father, a young man who had scarcely any other

dependence than on our patronage, and who had been brought up to expect

its exertion, would be a depravity, to which the separation of two young

persons, whose affection could be the growth of only a few weeks, could

bear no comparison. but from the severity of that blame which was last

night so liberally bestowed, respecting each circumstance, i shall hope

to be in the future secured, when the following account of my actions

and their motives has been read. if, in the explanation of them, which

is due to myself, i am under the necessity of relating feelings which

may be offensive to yours, i can only say that i am sorry. the necessity

must be obeyed, and further apology would be absurd.

"i had not been long in hertfordshire, before i saw, in common with

others, that bingley preferred your elder sister to any other young

woman in the country. but it was not till the evening of the dance

at netherfield that i had any apprehension of his feeling a serious

attachment. i had often seen him in love before. at that ball, while i

had the honour of dancing with you, i was first made acquainted, by sir

william lucas's accidental information, that bingley's attentions to

your sister had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage.

he spoke of it as a certain event, of which the time alone could

be undecided. from that moment i observed my friend's behaviour

attentively; and i could then perceive that his partiality for miss

bennet was beyond what i had ever witnessed in him. your sister i also

watched. her look and manners were open, cheerful, and engaging as ever,

but without any symptom of peculiar regard, and i remained convinced

from the evening's scrutiny, that though she received his attentions

with pleasure, she did not invite them by any participation of

sentiment. if _you_ have not been mistaken here, _i_ must have been

in error. your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter

probable. if it be so, if i have been misled by such error to inflict

pain on her, your resentment has not been unreasonable. but i shall not

scruple to assert, that the serenity of your sister's countenance and

air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction

that, however amiable her temper, her heart was not likely to be

easily touched. that i was desirous of believing her indifferent is

certain--but i will venture to say that my investigation and decisions

are not usually influenced by my hopes or fears. i did not believe

her to be indifferent because i wished it; i believed it on impartial

conviction, as truly as i wished it in reason. my objections to the

marriage were not merely those which i last night acknowledged to have

the utmost force of passion to put aside, in my own case; the want of

connection could not be so great an evil to my friend as to me. but

there were other causes of repugnance; causes which, though still

existing, and existing to an equal degree in both instances, i had

myself endeavoured to forget, because they were not immediately before

me. these causes must be stated, though briefly. the situation of your

mother's family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison to that

total want of propriety so frequently, so almost uniformly betrayed by

herself, by your three younger sisters, and occasionally even by your

father. pardon me. it pains me to offend you. but amidst your concern

for the defects of your nearest relations, and your displeasure at this

representation of them, let it give you consolation to consider that, to

have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure,

is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your elder sister, than

it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both. i will only say

farther that from what passed that evening, my opinion of all parties

was confirmed, and every inducement heightened which could have led

me before, to preserve my friend from what i esteemed a most unhappy

connection. he left netherfield for london, on the day following, as

you, i am certain, remember, with the design of soon returning.

"the part which i acted is now to be explained. his sisters' uneasiness

had been equally excited with my own; our coincidence of feeling was

soon discovered, and, alike sensible that no time was to be lost in

detaching their brother, we shortly resolved on joining him directly in

london. we accordingly went--and there i readily engaged in the office

of pointing out to my friend the certain evils of such a choice. i

described, and enforced them earnestly. but, however this remonstrance

might have staggered or delayed his determination, i do not suppose

that it would ultimately have prevented the marriage, had it not been

seconded by the assurance that i hesitated not in giving, of your

sister's indifference. he had before believed her to return his

affection with sincere, if not with equal regard. but bingley has great

natural modesty, with a stronger dependence on my judgement than on his

own. to convince him, therefore, that he had deceived himself, was

no very difficult point. to persuade him against returning into

hertfordshire, when that conviction had been given, was scarcely the

work of a moment. i cannot blame myself for having done thus much. there

is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which i do not

reflect with satisfaction; it is that i condescended to adopt the

measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sister's being in

town. i knew it myself, as it was known to miss bingley; but her

brother is even yet ignorant of it. that they might have met without

ill consequence is perhaps probable; but his regard did not appear to me

enough extinguished for him to see her without some danger. perhaps this

concealment, this disguise was beneath me; it is done, however, and it

was done for the best. on this subject i have nothing more to say, no

other apology to offer. if i have wounded your sister's feelings, it

was unknowingly done and though the motives which governed me may to

you very naturally appear insufficient, i have not yet learnt to condemn

them.

"with respect to that other, more weighty accusation, of having injured

mr. wickham, i can only refute it by laying before you the whole of his

connection with my family. of what he has _particularly_ accused me i

am ignorant; but of the truth of what i shall relate, i can summon more

than one witness of undoubted veracity.

"mr. wickham is the son of a very respectable man, who had for many

years the management of all the pemberley estates, and whose good

conduct in the discharge of his trust naturally inclined my father to

be of service to him; and on george wickham, who was his godson, his

kindness was therefore liberally bestowed. my father supported him at

school, and afterwards at cambridge--most important assistance, as his

own father, always poor from the extravagance of his wife, would have

been unable to give him a gentleman's education. my father was not only

fond of this young man's society, whose manners were always engaging; he

had also the highest opinion of him, and hoping the church would be

his profession, intended to provide for him in it. as for myself, it is

many, many years since i first began to think of him in a very different

manner. the vicious propensities--the want of principle, which he was

careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend, could not escape

the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself,

and who had opportunities of seeing him in unguarded moments, which mr.

darcy could not have. here again i shall give you pain--to what degree

you only can tell. but whatever may be the sentiments which mr. wickham

has created, a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from

unfolding his real character--it adds even another motive.

"my excellent father died about five years ago; and his attachment to

mr. wickham was to the last so steady, that in his will he particularly

recommended it to me, to promote his advancement in the best manner

that his profession might allow--and if he took orders, desired that a

valuable family living might be his as soon as it became vacant. there

was also a legacy of one thousand pounds. his own father did not long

survive mine, and within half a year from these events, mr. wickham

wrote to inform me that, having finally resolved against taking orders,

he hoped i should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more

immediate pecuniary advantage, in lieu of the preferment, by which he

could not be benefited. he had some intention, he added, of studying

law, and i must be aware that the interest of one thousand pounds would

be a very insufficient support therein. i rather wished, than believed

him to be sincere; but, at any rate, was perfectly ready to accede to

his proposal. i knew that mr. wickham ought not to be a clergyman; the

business was therefore soon settled--he resigned all claim to assistance

in the church, were it possible that he could ever be in a situation to

receive it, and accepted in return three thousand pounds. all connection

between us seemed now dissolved. i thought too ill of him to invite him

to pemberley, or admit his society in town. in town i believe he chiefly

lived, but his studying the law was a mere pretence, and being now free

from all restraint, his life was a life of idleness and dissipation.

for about three years i heard little of him; but on the decease of the

incumbent of the living which had been designed for him, he applied to

me again by letter for the presentation. his circumstances, he assured

me, and i had no difficulty in believing it, were exceedingly bad. he

had found the law a most unprofitable study, and was now absolutely

resolved on being ordained, if i would present him to the living in

question--of which he trusted there could be little doubt, as he was

well assured that i had no other person to provide for, and i could not

have forgotten my revered father's intentions. you will hardly blame

me for refusing to comply with this entreaty, or for resisting every

repetition to it. his resentment was in proportion to the distress of

his circumstances--and he was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me

to others as in his reproaches to myself. after this period every

appearance of acquaintance was dropped. how he lived i know not. but

last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice.

"i must now mention a circumstance which i would wish to forget myself,

and which no obligation less than the present should induce me to unfold

to any human being. having said thus much, i feel no doubt of your

secrecy. my sister, who is more than ten years my junior, was left to

the guardianship of my mother's nephew, colonel fitzwilliam, and myself.

about a year ago, she was taken from school, and an establishment formed

for her in london; and last summer she went with the lady who presided

over it, to ramsgate; and thither also went mr. wickham, undoubtedly by

design; for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him

and mrs. younge, in whose character we were most unhappily deceived; and

by her connivance and aid, he so far recommended himself to georgiana,

whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to

her as a child, that she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and

to consent to an elopement. she was then but fifteen, which must be her

excuse; and after stating her imprudence, i am happy to add, that i owed

the knowledge of it to herself. i joined them unexpectedly a day or two

before the intended elopement, and then georgiana, unable to support the

idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as

a father, acknowledged the whole to me. you may imagine what i felt and

how i acted. regard for my sister's credit and feelings prevented

any public exposure; but i wrote to mr. wickham, who left the place

immediately, and mrs. younge was of course removed from her charge. mr.

wickham's chief object was unquestionably my sister's fortune, which

is thirty thousand pounds; but i cannot help supposing that the hope of

revenging himself on me was a strong inducement. his revenge would have

been complete indeed.

"this, madam, is a faithful narrative of every event in which we have

been concerned together; and if you do not absolutely reject it as

false, you will, i hope, acquit me henceforth of cruelty towards mr.

wickham. i know not in what manner, under what form of falsehood he

had imposed on you; but his success is not perhaps to be wondered

at. ignorant as you previously were of everything concerning either,

detection could not be in your power, and suspicion certainly not in

your inclination.

"you may possibly wonder why all this was not told you last night; but

i was not then master enough of myself to know what could or ought to

be revealed. for the truth of everything here related, i can appeal more

particularly to the testimony of colonel fitzwilliam, who, from our

near relationship and constant intimacy, and, still more, as one of

the executors of my father's will, has been unavoidably acquainted

with every particular of these transactions. if your abhorrence of _me_

should make _my_ assertions valueless, you cannot be prevented by

the same cause from confiding in my cousin; and that there may be

the possibility of consulting him, i shall endeavour to find some

opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the

morning. i will only add, god bless you.

"fitzwilliam darcy"

chapter 36

if elizabeth, when mr. darcy gave her the letter, did not expect it to

contain a renewal of his offers, she had formed no expectation at all of

its contents. but such as they were, it may well be supposed how eagerly

she went through them, and what a contrariety of emotion they excited.

her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined. with amazement did

she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power;

and steadfastly was she persuaded, that he could have no explanation

to give, which a just sense of shame would not conceal. with a strong

prejudice against everything he might say, she began his account of what

had happened at netherfield. she read with an eagerness which hardly

left her power of comprehension, and from impatience of knowing what the

next sentence might bring, was incapable of attending to the sense of

the one before her eyes. his belief of her sister's insensibility she

instantly resolved to be false; and his account of the real, the worst

objections to the match, made her too angry to have any wish of doing

him justice. he expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied

her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. it was all pride and

insolence.

but when this subject was succeeded by his account of mr. wickham--when

she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which,

if true, must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth, and which

bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himself--her

feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition.

astonishment, apprehension, and even horror, oppressed her. she wished

to discredit it entirely, repeatedly exclaiming, "this must be false!

this cannot be! this must be the grossest falsehood!"--and when she had

gone through the whole letter, though scarcely knowing anything of the

last page or two, put it hastily away, protesting that she would not

regard it, that she would never look in it again.

in this perturbed state of mind, with thoughts that could rest on

nothing, she walked on; but it would not do; in half a minute the letter

was unfolded again, and collecting herself as well as she could, she

again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to wickham, and

commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence.

the account of his connection with the pemberley family was exactly what

he had related himself; and the kindness of the late mr. darcy, though

she had not before known its extent, agreed equally well with his own

words. so far each recital confirmed the other; but when she came to the

will, the difference was great. what wickham had said of the living

was fresh in her memory, and as she recalled his very words, it was

impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the

other; and, for a few moments, she flattered herself that her wishes did

not err. but when she read and re-read with the closest attention, the

particulars immediately following of wickham's resigning all pretensions

to the living, of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three

thousand pounds, again was she forced to hesitate. she put down

the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be

impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with

little success. on both sides it was only assertion. again she read

on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had

believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to

render mr. darcy's conduct in it less than infamous, was capable of a

turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.

the extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at

mr. wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her; the more so, as she could

bring no proof of its injustice. she had never heard of him before his

entrance into the ----shire militia, in which he had engaged at the

persuasion of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally in town,

had there renewed a slight acquaintance. of his former way of life

nothing had been known in hertfordshire but what he told himself. as

to his real character, had information been in her power, she had

never felt a wish of inquiring. his countenance, voice, and manner had

established him at once in the possession of every virtue. she tried

to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of

integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of

mr. darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those

casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what mr. darcy

had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance. but

no such recollection befriended her. she could see him instantly before

her, in every charm of air and address; but she could remember no more

substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood, and

the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess. after

pausing on this point a considerable while, she once more continued to

read. but, alas! the story which followed, of his designs on miss

darcy, received some confirmation from what had passed between colonel

fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before; and at last she was

referred for the truth of every particular to colonel fitzwilliam

himself--from whom she had previously received the information of his

near concern in all his cousin's affairs, and whose character she had no

reason to question. at one time she had almost resolved on applying to

him, but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application, and

at length wholly banished by the conviction that mr. darcy would never

have hazarded such a proposal, if he had not been well assured of his

cousin's corroboration.

she perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation

between wickham and herself, in their first evening at mr. phillips's.

many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory. she was _now_

struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger, and

wondered it had escaped her before. she saw the indelicacy of putting

himself forward as he had done, and the inconsistency of his professions

with his conduct. she remembered that he had boasted of having no fear

of seeing mr. darcy--that mr. darcy might leave the country, but that

_he_ should stand his ground; yet he had avoided the netherfield ball

the very next week. she remembered also that, till the netherfield

family had quitted the country, he had told his story to no one but

herself; but that after their removal it had been everywhere discussed;

that he had then no reserves, no scruples in sinking mr. darcy's

character, though he had assured her that respect for the father would

always prevent his exposing the son.

how differently did everything now appear in which he was concerned!

his attentions to miss king were now the consequence of views solely and

hatefully mercenary; and the mediocrity of her fortune proved no longer

the moderation of his wishes, but his eagerness to grasp at anything.

his behaviour to herself could now have had no tolerable motive; he had

either been deceived with regard to her fortune, or had been gratifying

his vanity by encouraging the preference which she believed she had most

incautiously shown. every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter

and fainter; and in farther justification of mr. darcy, she could not

but allow that mr. bingley, when questioned by jane, had long ago

asserted his blamelessness in the affair; that proud and repulsive as

were his manners, she had never, in the whole course of their

acquaintance--an acquaintance which had latterly brought them much

together, and given her a sort of intimacy with his ways--seen anything

that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjust--anything that spoke him

of irreligious or immoral habits; that among his own connections he was

esteemed and valued--that even wickham had allowed him merit as a

brother, and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his

sister as to prove him capable of _some_ amiable feeling; that had his

actions been what mr. wickham represented them, so gross a violation of

everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world; and

that friendship between a person capable of it, and such an amiable man

as mr. bingley, was incomprehensible.

she grew absolutely ashamed of herself. of neither darcy nor wickham

could she think without feeling she had been blind, partial, prejudiced,

absurd.

"how despicably i have acted!" she cried; "i, who have prided myself

on my discernment! i, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have

often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified

my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! how humiliating is this

discovery! yet, how just a humiliation! had i been in love, i could

not have been more wretchedly blind! but vanity, not love, has been my

folly. pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect

of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, i have courted

prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were

concerned. till this moment i never knew myself."

from herself to jane--from jane to bingley, her thoughts were in a line

which soon brought to her recollection that mr. darcy's explanation

_there_ had appeared very insufficient, and she read it again. widely

different was the effect of a second perusal. how could she deny that

credit to his assertions in one instance, which she had been obliged to

give in the other? he declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her

sister's attachment; and she could not help remembering what charlotte's

opinion had always been. neither could she deny the justice of his

description of jane. she felt that jane's feelings, though fervent, were

little displayed, and that there was a constant complacency in her air

and manner not often united with great sensibility.

when she came to that part of the letter in which her family were

mentioned in terms of such mortifying, yet merited reproach, her sense

of shame was severe. the justice of the charge struck her too forcibly

for denial, and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as

having passed at the netherfield ball, and as confirming all his first

disapprobation, could not have made a stronger impression on his mind

than on hers.

the compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt. it soothed,

but it could not console her for the contempt which had thus been

self-attracted by the rest of her family; and as she considered

that jane's disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest

relations, and reflected how materially the credit of both must be hurt

by such impropriety of conduct, she felt depressed beyond anything she

had ever known before.

after wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every

variety of thought--re-considering events, determining probabilities,

and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a change so sudden and

so important, fatigue, and a recollection of her long absence, made

her at length return home; and she entered the house with the wish

of appearing cheerful as usual, and the resolution of repressing such

reflections as must make her unfit for conversation.

she was immediately told that the two gentlemen from rosings had each

called during her absence; mr. darcy, only for a few minutes, to take

leave--but that colonel fitzwilliam had been sitting with them at least

an hour, hoping for her return, and almost resolving to walk after her

till she could be found. elizabeth could but just _affect_ concern

in missing him; she really rejoiced at it. colonel fitzwilliam was no

longer an object; she could think only of her letter.

chapter 37

the two gentlemen left rosings the next morning, and mr. collins having

been in waiting near the lodges, to make them his parting obeisance, was

able to bring home the pleasing intelligence, of their appearing in very

good health, and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected, after the

melancholy scene so lately gone through at rosings. to rosings he then

hastened, to console lady catherine and her daughter; and on his return

brought back, with great satisfaction, a message from her ladyship,

importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of

having them all to dine with her.

elizabeth could not see lady catherine without recollecting that, had

she chosen it, she might by this time have been presented to her as

her future niece; nor could she think, without a smile, of what her

ladyship's indignation would have been. "what would she have said? how

would she have behaved?" were questions with which she amused herself.

their first subject was the diminution of the rosings party. "i assure

you, i feel it exceedingly," said lady catherine; "i believe no one

feels the loss of friends so much as i do. but i am particularly

attached to these young men, and know them to be so much attached to

me! they were excessively sorry to go! but so they always are. the

dear colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last; but darcy

seemed to feel it most acutely, more, i think, than last year. his

attachment to rosings certainly increases."

mr. collins had a compliment, and an allusion to throw in here, which

were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter.

lady catherine observed, after dinner, that miss bennet seemed out of

spirits, and immediately accounting for it by herself, by supposing that

she did not like to go home again so soon, she added:

"but if that is the case, you must write to your mother and beg that

you may stay a little longer. mrs. collins will be very glad of your

company, i am sure."

"i am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation," replied

elizabeth, "but it is not in my power to accept it. i must be in town

next saturday."

"why, at that rate, you will have been here only six weeks. i expected

you to stay two months. i told mrs. collins so before you came. there

can be no occasion for your going so soon. mrs. bennet could certainly

spare you for another fortnight."

"but my father cannot. he wrote last week to hurry my return."

"oh! your father of course may spare you, if your mother can. daughters

are never of so much consequence to a father. and if you will stay

another _month_ complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as

far as london, for i am going there early in june, for a week; and as

dawson does not object to the barouche-box, there will be very good room

for one of you--and indeed, if the weather should happen to be cool, i

should not object to taking you both, as you are neither of you large."

"you are all kindness, madam; but i believe we must abide by our

original plan."

lady catherine seemed resigned. "mrs. collins, you must send a servant

with them. you know i always speak my mind, and i cannot bear the idea

of two young women travelling post by themselves. it is highly improper.

you must contrive to send somebody. i have the greatest dislike in

the world to that sort of thing. young women should always be properly

guarded and attended, according to their situation in life. when my

niece georgiana went to ramsgate last summer, i made a point of her

having two men-servants go with her. miss darcy, the daughter of

mr. darcy, of pemberley, and lady anne, could not have appeared with

propriety in a different manner. i am excessively attentive to all those

things. you must send john with the young ladies, mrs. collins. i

am glad it occurred to me to mention it; for it would really be

discreditable to _you_ to let them go alone."

"my uncle is to send a servant for us."

"oh! your uncle! he keeps a man-servant, does he? i am very glad you

have somebody who thinks of these things. where shall you change horses?

oh! bromley, of course. if you mention my name at the bell, you will be

attended to."

lady catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey,

and as she did not answer them all herself, attention was necessary,

which elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a mind so

occupied, she might have forgotten where she was. reflection must be

reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it

as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary

walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant

recollections.

mr. darcy's letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. she

studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at

times widely different. when she remembered the style of his address,

she was still full of indignation; but when she considered how unjustly

she had condemned and upbraided him, her anger was turned against

herself; and his disappointed feelings became the object of compassion.

his attachment excited gratitude, his general character respect; but she

could not approve him; nor could she for a moment repent her refusal,

or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again. in her own past

behaviour, there was a constant source of vexation and regret; and in

the unhappy defects of her family, a subject of yet heavier chagrin.

they were hopeless of remedy. her father, contented with laughing at

them, would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his

youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right

herself, was entirely insensible of the evil. elizabeth had frequently

united with jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of catherine

and lydia; but while they were supported by their mother's indulgence,

what chance could there be of improvement? catherine, weak-spirited,

irritable, and completely under lydia's guidance, had been always

affronted by their advice; and lydia, self-willed and careless, would

scarcely give them a hearing. they were ignorant, idle, and vain. while

there was an officer in meryton, they would flirt with him; and while

meryton was within a walk of longbourn, they would be going there

forever.

anxiety on jane's behalf was another prevailing concern; and mr. darcy's

explanation, by restoring bingley to all her former good opinion,

heightened the sense of what jane had lost. his affection was proved

to have been sincere, and his conduct cleared of all blame, unless any

could attach to the implicitness of his confidence in his friend. how

grievous then was the thought that, of a situation so desirable in every

respect, so replete with advantage, so promising for happiness, jane had

been deprived, by the folly and indecorum of her own family!

when to these recollections was added the development of wickham's

character, it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had

seldom been depressed before, were now so much affected as to make it

almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful.

their engagements at rosings were as frequent during the last week of

her stay as they had been at first. the very last evening was spent

there; and her ladyship again inquired minutely into the particulars of

their journey, gave them directions as to the best method of packing,

and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right

way, that maria thought herself obliged, on her return, to undo all the

work of the morning, and pack her trunk afresh.

when they parted, lady catherine, with great condescension, wished them

a good journey, and invited them to come to hunsford again next year;

and miss de bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her

hand to both.

chapter 38

on saturday morning elizabeth and mr. collins met for breakfast a few

minutes before the others appeared; and he took the opportunity of

paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably necessary.

"i know not, miss elizabeth," said he, "whether mrs. collins has yet

expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us; but i am very

certain you will not leave the house without receiving her thanks for

it. the favour of your company has been much felt, i assure you. we

know how little there is to tempt anyone to our humble abode. our plain

manner of living, our small rooms and few domestics, and the little we

see of the world, must make hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like

yourself; but i hope you will believe us grateful for the condescension,

and that we have done everything in our power to prevent your spending

your time unpleasantly."

elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness. she

had spent six weeks with great enjoyment; and the pleasure of being with

charlotte, and the kind attentions she had received, must make _her_

feel the obliged. mr. collins was gratified, and with a more smiling

solemnity replied:

"it gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not

disagreeably. we have certainly done our best; and most fortunately

having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society, and,

from our connection with rosings, the frequent means of varying the

humble home scene, i think we may flatter ourselves that your hunsford

visit cannot have been entirely irksome. our situation with regard to

lady catherine's family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage

and blessing which few can boast. you see on what a footing we are. you

see how continually we are engaged there. in truth i must acknowledge

that, with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage, i should

not think anyone abiding in it an object of compassion, while they are

sharers of our intimacy at rosings."

words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings; and he was

obliged to walk about the room, while elizabeth tried to unite civility

and truth in a few short sentences.

"you may, in fact, carry a very favourable report of us into

hertfordshire, my dear cousin. i flatter myself at least that you will

be able to do so. lady catherine's great attentions to mrs. collins you

have been a daily witness of; and altogether i trust it does not appear

that your friend has drawn an unfortunate--but on this point it will be

as well to be silent. only let me assure you, my dear miss elizabeth,

that i can from my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in

marriage. my dear charlotte and i have but one mind and one way of

thinking. there is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of

character and ideas between us. we seem to have been designed for each

other."

elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was

the case, and with equal sincerity could add, that she firmly believed

and rejoiced in his domestic comforts. she was not sorry, however, to

have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang.

poor charlotte! it was melancholy to leave her to such society! but she

had chosen it with her eyes open; and though evidently regretting that

her visitors were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion. her

home and her housekeeping, her parish and her poultry, and all their

dependent concerns, had not yet lost their charms.

at length the chaise arrived, the trunks were fastened on, the parcels

placed within, and it was pronounced to be ready. after an affectionate

parting between the friends, elizabeth was attended to the carriage by

mr. collins, and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her

with his best respects to all her family, not forgetting his thanks

for the kindness he had received at longbourn in the winter, and his

compliments to mr. and mrs. gardiner, though unknown. he then handed her

in, maria followed, and the door was on the point of being closed,

when he suddenly reminded them, with some consternation, that they had

hitherto forgotten to leave any message for the ladies at rosings.

"but," he added, "you will of course wish to have your humble respects

delivered to them, with your grateful thanks for their kindness to you

while you have been here."

elizabeth made no objection; the door was then allowed to be shut, and

the carriage drove off.

"good gracious!" cried maria, after a few minutes' silence, "it seems

but a day or two since we first came! and yet how many things have

happened!"

"a great many indeed," said her companion with a sigh.

"we have dined nine times at rosings, besides drinking tea there twice!

how much i shall have to tell!"

elizabeth added privately, "and how much i shall have to conceal!"

their journey was performed without much conversation, or any alarm; and

within four hours of their leaving hunsford they reached mr. gardiner's

house, where they were to remain a few days.

jane looked well, and elizabeth had little opportunity of studying her

spirits, amidst the various engagements which the kindness of her

aunt had reserved for them. but jane was to go home with her, and at

longbourn there would be leisure enough for observation.

it was not without an effort, meanwhile, that she could wait even for

longbourn, before she told her sister of mr. darcy's proposals. to know

that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish

jane, and must, at the same time, so highly gratify whatever of her own

vanity she had not yet been able to reason away, was such a temptation

to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision

in which she remained as to the extent of what she should communicate;

and her fear, if she once entered on the subject, of being hurried

into repeating something of bingley which might only grieve her sister

further.

chapter 39

it was the second week in may, in which the three young ladies set out

together from gracechurch street for the town of ----, in hertfordshire;

and, as they drew near the appointed inn where mr. bennet's carriage

was to meet them, they quickly perceived, in token of the coachman's

punctuality, both kitty and lydia looking out of a dining-room up stairs.

these two girls had been above an hour in the place, happily employed

in visiting an opposite milliner, watching the sentinel on guard, and

dressing a salad and cucumber.

after welcoming their sisters, they triumphantly displayed a table set

out with such cold meat as an inn larder usually affords, exclaiming,

"is not this nice? is not this an agreeable surprise?"

"and we mean to treat you all," added lydia, "but you must lend us the

money, for we have just spent ours at the shop out there." then, showing

her purchases--"look here, i have bought this bonnet. i do not think

it is very pretty; but i thought i might as well buy it as not. i shall

pull it to pieces as soon as i get home, and see if i can make it up any

better."

and when her sisters abused it as ugly, she added, with perfect

unconcern, "oh! but there were two or three much uglier in the shop; and

when i have bought some prettier-coloured satin to trim it with fresh, i

think it will be very tolerable. besides, it will not much signify what

one wears this summer, after the ----shire have left meryton, and they

are going in a fortnight."

"are they indeed!" cried elizabeth, with the greatest satisfaction.

"they are going to be encamped near brighton; and i do so want papa to

take us all there for the summer! it would be such a delicious scheme;

and i dare say would hardly cost anything at all. mamma would like to

go too of all things! only think what a miserable summer else we shall

have!"

"yes," thought elizabeth, "_that_ would be a delightful scheme indeed,

and completely do for us at once. good heaven! brighton, and a whole

campful of soldiers, to us, who have been overset already by one poor

regiment of militia, and the monthly balls of meryton!"

"now i have got some news for you," said lydia, as they sat down at

table. "what do you think? it is excellent news--capital news--and about

a certain person we all like!"

jane and elizabeth looked at each other, and the waiter was told he need

not stay. lydia laughed, and said:

"aye, that is just like your formality and discretion. you thought the

waiter must not hear, as if he cared! i dare say he often hears worse

things said than i am going to say. but he is an ugly fellow! i am glad

he is gone. i never saw such a long chin in my life. well, but now for

my news; it is about dear wickham; too good for the waiter, is it not?

there is no danger of wickham's marrying mary king. there's for you! she

is gone down to her uncle at liverpool: gone to stay. wickham is safe."

"and mary king is safe!" added elizabeth; "safe from a connection

imprudent as to fortune."

"she is a great fool for going away, if she liked him."

"but i hope there is no strong attachment on either side," said jane.

"i am sure there is not on _his_. i will answer for it, he never cared

three straws about her--who could about such a nasty little freckled

thing?"

elizabeth was shocked to think that, however incapable of such

coarseness of _expression_ herself, the coarseness of the _sentiment_

was little other than her own breast had harboured and fancied liberal!

as soon as all had ate, and the elder ones paid, the carriage was

ordered; and after some contrivance, the whole party, with all their

boxes, work-bags, and parcels, and the unwelcome addition of kitty's and

lydia's purchases, were seated in it.

"how nicely we are all crammed in," cried lydia. "i am glad i bought my

bonnet, if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox! well, now

let us be quite comfortable and snug, and talk and laugh all the way

home. and in the first place, let us hear what has happened to you all

since you went away. have you seen any pleasant men? have you had any

flirting? i was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband

before you came back. jane will be quite an old maid soon, i declare.

she is almost three-and-twenty! lord, how ashamed i should be of not

being married before three-and-twenty! my aunt phillips wants you so to

get husbands, you can't think. she says lizzy had better have taken mr.

collins; but _i_ do not think there would have been any fun in it. lord!

how i should like to be married before any of you; and then i would

chaperon you about to all the balls. dear me! we had such a good piece

of fun the other day at colonel forster's. kitty and me were to spend

the day there, and mrs. forster promised to have a little dance in the

evening; (by the bye, mrs. forster and me are _such_ friends!) and so

she asked the two harringtons to come, but harriet was ill, and so pen

was forced to come by herself; and then, what do you think we did? we

dressed up chamberlayne in woman's clothes on purpose to pass for a

lady, only think what fun! not a soul knew of it, but colonel and mrs.

forster, and kitty and me, except my aunt, for we were forced to borrow

one of her gowns; and you cannot imagine how well he looked! when denny,

and wickham, and pratt, and two or three more of the men came in, they

did not know him in the least. lord! how i laughed! and so did mrs.

forster. i thought i should have died. and _that_ made the men suspect

something, and then they soon found out what was the matter."

with such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes, did

lydia, assisted by kitty's hints and additions, endeavour to amuse her

companions all the way to longbourn. elizabeth listened as little as she

could, but there was no escaping the frequent mention of wickham's name.

their reception at home was most kind. mrs. bennet rejoiced to see jane

in undiminished beauty; and more than once during dinner did mr. bennet

say voluntarily to elizabeth:

"i am glad you are come back, lizzy."

their party in the dining-room was large, for almost all the lucases

came to meet maria and hear the news; and various were the subjects that

occupied them: lady lucas was inquiring of maria, after the welfare and

poultry of her eldest daughter; mrs. bennet was doubly engaged, on one

hand collecting an account of the present fashions from jane, who sat

some way below her, and, on the other, retailing them all to the younger

lucases; and lydia, in a voice rather louder than any other person's,

was enumerating the various pleasures of the morning to anybody who

would hear her.

"oh! mary," said she, "i wish you had gone with us, for we had such fun!

as we went along, kitty and i drew up the blinds, and pretended there

was nobody in the coach; and i should have gone so all the way, if kitty

had not been sick; and when we got to the george, i do think we behaved

very handsomely, for we treated the other three with the nicest cold

luncheon in the world, and if you would have gone, we would have treated

you too. and then when we came away it was such fun! i thought we never

should have got into the coach. i was ready to die of laughter. and then

we were so merry all the way home! we talked and laughed so loud, that

anybody might have heard us ten miles off!"

to this mary very gravely replied, "far be it from me, my dear sister,

to depreciate such pleasures! they would doubtless be congenial with the

generality of female minds. but i confess they would have no charms for

_me_--i should infinitely prefer a book."

but of this answer lydia heard not a word. she seldom listened to

anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to mary at all.

in the afternoon lydia was urgent with the rest of the girls to walk

to meryton, and to see how everybody went on; but elizabeth steadily

opposed the scheme. it should not be said that the miss bennets could

not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers.

there was another reason too for her opposition. she dreaded seeing mr.

wickham again, and was resolved to avoid it as long as possible. the

comfort to _her_ of the regiment's approaching removal was indeed beyond

expression. in a fortnight they were to go--and once gone, she hoped

there could be nothing more to plague her on his account.

she had not been many hours at home before she found that the brighton

scheme, of which lydia had given them a hint at the inn, was under

frequent discussion between her parents. elizabeth saw directly that her

father had not the smallest intention of yielding; but his answers were

at the same time so vague and equivocal, that her mother, though often

disheartened, had never yet despaired of succeeding at last.

chapter 40

elizabeth's impatience to acquaint jane with what had happened could

no longer be overcome; and at length, resolving to suppress every

particular in which her sister was concerned, and preparing her to be

surprised, she related to her the next morning the chief of the scene

between mr. darcy and herself.

miss bennet's astonishment was soon lessened by the strong sisterly

partiality which made any admiration of elizabeth appear perfectly

natural; and all surprise was shortly lost in other feelings. she was

sorry that mr. darcy should have delivered his sentiments in a manner so

little suited to recommend them; but still more was she grieved for the

unhappiness which her sister's refusal must have given him.

"his being so sure of succeeding was wrong," said she, "and certainly

ought not to have appeared; but consider how much it must increase his

disappointment!"

"indeed," replied elizabeth, "i am heartily sorry for him; but he has

other feelings, which will probably soon drive away his regard for me.

you do not blame me, however, for refusing him?"

"blame you! oh, no."

"but you blame me for having spoken so warmly of wickham?"

"no--i do not know that you were wrong in saying what you did."

"but you _will_ know it, when i tell you what happened the very next

day."

she then spoke of the letter, repeating the whole of its contents as far

as they concerned george wickham. what a stroke was this for poor jane!

who would willingly have gone through the world without believing that

so much wickedness existed in the whole race of mankind, as was here

collected in one individual. nor was darcy's vindication, though

grateful to her feelings, capable of consoling her for such discovery.

most earnestly did she labour to prove the probability of error, and

seek to clear the one without involving the other.

"this will not do," said elizabeth; "you never will be able to make both

of them good for anything. take your choice, but you must be satisfied

with only one. there is but such a quantity of merit between them; just

enough to make one good sort of man; and of late it has been shifting

about pretty much. for my part, i am inclined to believe it all darcy's;

but you shall do as you choose."

it was some time, however, before a smile could be extorted from jane.

"i do not know when i have been more shocked," said she. "wickham so

very bad! it is almost past belief. and poor mr. darcy! dear lizzy, only

consider what he must have suffered. such a disappointment! and with the

knowledge of your ill opinion, too! and having to relate such a thing

of his sister! it is really too distressing. i am sure you must feel it

so."

"oh! no, my regret and compassion are all done away by seeing you so

full of both. i know you will do him such ample justice, that i am

growing every moment more unconcerned and indifferent. your profusion

makes me saving; and if you lament over him much longer, my heart will

be as light as a feather."

"poor wickham! there is such an expression of goodness in his

countenance! such an openness and gentleness in his manner!"

"there certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those

two young men. one has got all the goodness, and the other all the

appearance of it."

"i never thought mr. darcy so deficient in the _appearance_ of it as you

used to do."

"and yet i meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike

to him, without any reason. it is such a spur to one's genius, such an

opening for wit, to have a dislike of that kind. one may be continually

abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot always be laughing

at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty."

"lizzy, when you first read that letter, i am sure you could not treat

the matter as you do now."

"indeed, i could not. i was uncomfortable enough, i may say unhappy. and

with no one to speak to about what i felt, no jane to comfort me and say

that i had not been so very weak and vain and nonsensical as i knew i

had! oh! how i wanted you!"

"how unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions

in speaking of wickham to mr. darcy, for now they _do_ appear wholly

undeserved."

"certainly. but the misfortune of speaking with bitterness is a most

natural consequence of the prejudices i had been encouraging. there

is one point on which i want your advice. i want to be told whether i

ought, or ought not, to make our acquaintances in general understand

wickham's character."

miss bennet paused a little, and then replied, "surely there can be no

occasion for exposing him so dreadfully. what is your opinion?"

"that it ought not to be attempted. mr. darcy has not authorised me

to make his communication public. on the contrary, every particular

relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to

myself; and if i endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his

conduct, who will believe me? the general prejudice against mr. darcy

is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people in

meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light. i am not equal

to it. wickham will soon be gone; and therefore it will not signify to

anyone here what he really is. some time hence it will be all found out,

and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before. at

present i will say nothing about it."

"you are quite right. to have his errors made public might ruin him for

ever. he is now, perhaps, sorry for what he has done, and anxious to

re-establish a character. we must not make him desperate."

the tumult of elizabeth's mind was allayed by this conversation. she had

got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fortnight,

and was certain of a willing listener in jane, whenever she might wish

to talk again of either. but there was still something lurking behind,

of which prudence forbade the disclosure. she dared not relate the other

half of mr. darcy's letter, nor explain to her sister how sincerely she

had been valued by her friend. here was knowledge in which no one

could partake; and she was sensible that nothing less than a perfect

understanding between the parties could justify her in throwing off

this last encumbrance of mystery. "and then," said she, "if that very

improbable event should ever take place, i shall merely be able to

tell what bingley may tell in a much more agreeable manner himself. the

liberty of communication cannot be mine till it has lost all its value!"

she was now, on being settled at home, at leisure to observe the real

state of her sister's spirits. jane was not happy. she still cherished a

very tender affection for bingley. having never even fancied herself

in love before, her regard had all the warmth of first attachment,

and, from her age and disposition, greater steadiness than most first

attachments often boast; and so fervently did she value his remembrance,

and prefer him to every other man, that all her good sense, and all her

attention to the feelings of her friends, were requisite to check the

indulgence of those regrets which must have been injurious to her own

health and their tranquillity.

"well, lizzy," said mrs. bennet one day, "what is your opinion _now_ of

this sad business of jane's? for my part, i am determined never to speak

of it again to anybody. i told my sister phillips so the other day. but

i cannot find out that jane saw anything of him in london. well, he is

a very undeserving young man--and i do not suppose there's the least

chance in the world of her ever getting him now. there is no talk of

his coming to netherfield again in the summer; and i have inquired of

everybody, too, who is likely to know."

"i do not believe he will ever live at netherfield any more."

"oh well! it is just as he chooses. nobody wants him to come. though i

shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill; and if i was her, i

would not have put up with it. well, my comfort is, i am sure jane will

die of a broken heart; and then he will be sorry for what he has done."

but as elizabeth could not receive comfort from any such expectation,

she made no answer.

"well, lizzy," continued her mother, soon afterwards, "and so the

collinses live very comfortable, do they? well, well, i only hope

it will last. and what sort of table do they keep? charlotte is an

excellent manager, i dare say. if she is half as sharp as her

mother, she is saving enough. there is nothing extravagant in _their_

housekeeping, i dare say."

"no, nothing at all."

"a great deal of good management, depend upon it. yes, yes, _they_ will

take care not to outrun their income. _they_ will never be distressed

for money. well, much good may it do them! and so, i suppose, they often

talk of having longbourn when your father is dead. they look upon it as

quite their own, i dare say, whenever that happens."

"it was a subject which they could not mention before me."

"no; it would have been strange if they had; but i make no doubt they

often talk of it between themselves. well, if they can be easy with an

estate that is not lawfully their own, so much the better. i should be

ashamed of having one that was only entailed on me."

chapter 41

the first week of their return was soon gone. the second began. it was

the last of the regiment's stay in meryton, and all the young ladies

in the neighbourhood were drooping apace. the dejection was almost

universal. the elder miss bennets alone were still able to eat, drink,

and sleep, and pursue the usual course of their employments. very

frequently were they reproached for this insensibility by kitty and

lydia, whose own misery was extreme, and who could not comprehend such

hard-heartedness in any of the family.

"good heaven! what is to become of us? what are we to do?" would they

often exclaim in the bitterness of woe. "how can you be smiling so,

lizzy?"

their affectionate mother shared all their grief; she remembered what

she had herself endured on a similar occasion, five-and-twenty years

ago.

"i am sure," said she, "i cried for two days together when colonel

miller's regiment went away. i thought i should have broken my heart."

"i am sure i shall break _mine_," said lydia.

"if one could but go to brighton!" observed mrs. bennet.

"oh, yes!--if one could but go to brighton! but papa is so

disagreeable."

"a little sea-bathing would set me up forever."

"and my aunt phillips is sure it would do _me_ a great deal of good,"

added kitty.

such were the kind of lamentations resounding perpetually through

longbourn house. elizabeth tried to be diverted by them; but all sense

of pleasure was lost in shame. she felt anew the justice of mr. darcy's

objections; and never had she been so much disposed to pardon his

interference in the views of his friend.

but the gloom of lydia's prospect was shortly cleared away; for she

received an invitation from mrs. forster, the wife of the colonel of

the regiment, to accompany her to brighton. this invaluable friend was a

very young woman, and very lately married. a resemblance in good humour

and good spirits had recommended her and lydia to each other, and out of

their _three_ months' acquaintance they had been intimate _two_.

the rapture of lydia on this occasion, her adoration of mrs. forster,

the delight of mrs. bennet, and the mortification of kitty, are scarcely

to be described. wholly inattentive to her sister's feelings, lydia

flew about the house in restless ecstasy, calling for everyone's

congratulations, and laughing and talking with more violence than ever;

whilst the luckless kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate

in terms as unreasonable as her accent was peevish.

"i cannot see why mrs. forster should not ask _me_ as well as lydia,"

said she, "though i am _not_ her particular friend. i have just as much

right to be asked as she has, and more too, for i am two years older."

in vain did elizabeth attempt to make her reasonable, and jane to make

her resigned. as for elizabeth herself, this invitation was so far from

exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and lydia, that she

considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense

for the latter; and detestable as such a step must make her were it

known, she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her

go. she represented to him all the improprieties of lydia's general

behaviour, the little advantage she could derive from the friendship of

such a woman as mrs. forster, and the probability of her being yet more

imprudent with such a companion at brighton, where the temptations must

be greater than at home. he heard her attentively, and then said:

"lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public

place or other, and we can never expect her to do it with so

little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present

circumstances."

"if you were aware," said elizabeth, "of the very great disadvantage to

us all which must arise from the public notice of lydia's unguarded and

imprudent manner--nay, which has already arisen from it, i am sure you

would judge differently in the affair."

"already arisen?" repeated mr. bennet. "what, has she frightened away

some of your lovers? poor little lizzy! but do not be cast down. such

squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity

are not worth a regret. come, let me see the list of pitiful fellows who

have been kept aloof by lydia's folly."

"indeed you are mistaken. i have no such injuries to resent. it is not

of particular, but of general evils, which i am now complaining. our

importance, our respectability in the world must be affected by the

wild volatility, the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark

lydia's character. excuse me, for i must speak plainly. if you, my dear

father, will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits, and

of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of

her life, she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment. her character

will be fixed, and she will, at sixteen, be the most determined flirt

that ever made herself or her family ridiculous; a flirt, too, in the

worst and meanest degree of flirtation; without any attraction beyond

youth and a tolerable person; and, from the ignorance and emptiness

of her mind, wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal

contempt which her rage for admiration will excite. in this danger

kitty also is comprehended. she will follow wherever lydia leads. vain,

ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled! oh! my dear father, can you

suppose it possible that they will not be censured and despised wherever

they are known, and that their sisters will not be often involved in the

disgrace?"

mr. bennet saw that her whole heart was in the subject, and

affectionately taking her hand said in reply:

"do not make yourself uneasy, my love. wherever you and jane are known

you must be respected and valued; and you will not appear to less

advantage for having a couple of--or i may say, three--very silly

sisters. we shall have no peace at longbourn if lydia does not go to

brighton. let her go, then. colonel forster is a sensible man, and will

keep her out of any real mischief; and she is luckily too poor to be an

object of prey to anybody. at brighton she will be of less importance

even as a common flirt than she has been here. the officers will find

women better worth their notice. let us hope, therefore, that her being

there may teach her her own insignificance. at any rate, she cannot grow

many degrees worse, without authorising us to lock her up for the rest

of her life."

with this answer elizabeth was forced to be content; but her own opinion

continued the same, and she left him disappointed and sorry. it was not

in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling on

them. she was confident of having performed her duty, and to fret

over unavoidable evils, or augment them by anxiety, was no part of her

disposition.

had lydia and her mother known the substance of her conference with her

father, their indignation would hardly have found expression in their

united volubility. in lydia's imagination, a visit to brighton comprised

every possibility of earthly happiness. she saw, with the creative eye

of fancy, the streets of that gay bathing-place covered with officers.

she saw herself the object of attention, to tens and to scores of them

at present unknown. she saw all the glories of the camp--its tents

stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines, crowded with the young

and the gay, and dazzling with scarlet; and, to complete the view, she

saw herself seated beneath a tent, tenderly flirting with at least six

officers at once.

had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such

realities as these, what would have been her sensations? they could have

been understood only by her mother, who might have felt nearly the same.

lydia's going to brighton was all that consoled her for her melancholy

conviction of her husband's never intending to go there himself.

but they were entirely ignorant of what had passed; and their raptures

continued, with little intermission, to the very day of lydia's leaving

home.

elizabeth was now to see mr. wickham for the last time. having been

frequently in company with him since her return, agitation was pretty

well over; the agitations of former partiality entirely so. she had even

learnt to detect, in the very gentleness which had first delighted

her, an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary. in his present

behaviour to herself, moreover, she had a fresh source of displeasure,

for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which

had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve, after

what had since passed, to provoke her. she lost all concern for him in

finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous

gallantry; and while she steadily repressed it, could not but feel the

reproof contained in his believing, that however long, and for whatever

cause, his attentions had been withdrawn, her vanity would be gratified,

and her preference secured at any time by their renewal.

on the very last day of the regiment's remaining at meryton, he dined,

with other of the officers, at longbourn; and so little was elizabeth

disposed to part from him in good humour, that on his making some

inquiry as to the manner in which her time had passed at hunsford, she

mentioned colonel fitzwilliam's and mr. darcy's having both spent three

weeks at rosings, and asked him, if he was acquainted with the former.

he looked surprised, displeased, alarmed; but with a moment's

recollection and a returning smile, replied, that he had formerly seen

him often; and, after observing that he was a very gentlemanlike man,

asked her how she had liked him. her answer was warmly in his favour.

with an air of indifference he soon afterwards added:

"how long did you say he was at rosings?"

"nearly three weeks."

"and you saw him frequently?"

"yes, almost every day."

"his manners are very different from his cousin's."

"yes, very different. but i think mr. darcy improves upon acquaintance."

"indeed!" cried mr. wickham with a look which did not escape her. "and

pray, may i ask?--" but checking himself, he added, in a gayer tone, "is

it in address that he improves? has he deigned to add aught of civility

to his ordinary style?--for i dare not hope," he continued in a lower

and more serious tone, "that he is improved in essentials."

"oh, no!" said elizabeth. "in essentials, i believe, he is very much

what he ever was."

while she spoke, wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to

rejoice over her words, or to distrust their meaning. there was a

something in her countenance which made him listen with an apprehensive

and anxious attention, while she added:

"when i said that he improved on acquaintance, i did not mean that

his mind or his manners were in a state of improvement, but that, from

knowing him better, his disposition was better understood."

wickham's alarm now appeared in a heightened complexion and agitated

look; for a few minutes he was silent, till, shaking off his

embarrassment, he turned to her again, and said in the gentlest of

accents:

"you, who so well know my feeling towards mr. darcy, will readily

comprehend how sincerely i must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume

even the _appearance_ of what is right. his pride, in that direction,

may be of service, if not to himself, to many others, for it must only

deter him from such foul misconduct as i have suffered by. i only

fear that the sort of cautiousness to which you, i imagine, have been

alluding, is merely adopted on his visits to his aunt, of whose good

opinion and judgement he stands much in awe. his fear of her has always

operated, i know, when they were together; and a good deal is to be

imputed to his wish of forwarding the match with miss de bourgh, which i

am certain he has very much at heart."

elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a

slight inclination of the head. she saw that he wanted to engage her on

the old subject of his grievances, and she was in no humour to indulge

him. the rest of the evening passed with the _appearance_, on his

side, of usual cheerfulness, but with no further attempt to distinguish

elizabeth; and they parted at last with mutual civility, and possibly a

mutual desire of never meeting again.

when the party broke up, lydia returned with mrs. forster to meryton,

from whence they were to set out early the next morning. the separation

between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic. kitty was the

only one who shed tears; but she did weep from vexation and envy. mrs.

bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter,

and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the

opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possible--advice which

there was every reason to believe would be well attended to; and in

the clamorous happiness of lydia herself in bidding farewell, the more

gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard.

chapter 42

had elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family, she could

not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic

comfort. her father, captivated by youth and beauty, and that appearance

of good humour which youth and beauty generally give, had married a

woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in

their marriage put an end to all real affection for her. respect,

esteem, and confidence had vanished for ever; and all his views

of domestic happiness were overthrown. but mr. bennet was not of

a disposition to seek comfort for the disappointment which his own

imprudence had brought on, in any of those pleasures which too often

console the unfortunate for their folly or their vice. he was fond of

the country and of books; and from these tastes had arisen his principal

enjoyments. to his wife he was very little otherwise indebted, than as

her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement. this is not

the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his

wife; but where other powers of entertainment are wanting, the true

philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given.

elizabeth, however, had never been blind to the impropriety of her

father's behaviour as a husband. she had always seen it with pain; but

respecting his abilities, and grateful for his affectionate treatment of

herself, she endeavoured to forget what she could not overlook, and to

banish from her thoughts that continual breach of conjugal obligation

and decorum which, in exposing his wife to the contempt of her own

children, was so highly reprehensible. but she had never felt so

strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so

unsuitable a marriage, nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising

from so ill-judged a direction of talents; talents, which, rightly used,

might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters, even

if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife.

when elizabeth had rejoiced over wickham's departure she found little

other cause for satisfaction in the loss of the regiment. their parties

abroad were less varied than before, and at home she had a mother and

sister whose constant repinings at the dullness of everything around

them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle; and, though kitty

might in time regain her natural degree of sense, since the disturbers

of her brain were removed, her other sister, from whose disposition

greater evil might be apprehended, was likely to be hardened in all

her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a

watering-place and a camp. upon the whole, therefore, she found, what

has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had been

looking with impatient desire did not, in taking place, bring all the

satisfaction she had promised herself. it was consequently necessary to

name some other period for the commencement of actual felicity--to have

some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed, and by

again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation, console herself for the

present, and prepare for another disappointment. her tour to the lakes

was now the object of her happiest thoughts; it was her best consolation

for all the uncomfortable hours which the discontentedness of her mother

and kitty made inevitable; and could she have included jane in the

scheme, every part of it would have been perfect.

"but it is fortunate," thought she, "that i have something to wish for.

were the whole arrangement complete, my disappointment would be certain.

but here, by carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my

sister's absence, i may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of

pleasure realised. a scheme of which every part promises delight can

never be successful; and general disappointment is only warded off by

the defence of some little peculiar vexation."

when lydia went away she promised to write very often and very minutely

to her mother and kitty; but her letters were always long expected, and

always very short. those to her mother contained little else than that

they were just returned from the library, where such and such officers

had attended them, and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as

made her quite wild; that she had a new gown, or a new parasol, which

she would have described more fully, but was obliged to leave off in a

violent hurry, as mrs. forster called her, and they were going off to

the camp; and from her correspondence with her sister, there was still

less to be learnt--for her letters to kitty, though rather longer, were

much too full of lines under the words to be made public.

after the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence, health, good

humour, and cheerfulness began to reappear at longbourn. everything wore

a happier aspect. the families who had been in town for the winter came

back again, and summer finery and summer engagements arose. mrs. bennet

was restored to her usual querulous serenity; and, by the middle of

june, kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter meryton without

tears; an event of such happy promise as to make elizabeth hope that by

the following christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to

mention an officer above once a day, unless, by some cruel and malicious

arrangement at the war office, another regiment should be quartered in

meryton.

the time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast

approaching, and a fortnight only was wanting of it, when a letter

arrived from mrs. gardiner, which at once delayed its commencement and

curtailed its extent. mr. gardiner would be prevented by business from

setting out till a fortnight later in july, and must be in london again

within a month, and as that left too short a period for them to go so

far, and see so much as they had proposed, or at least to see it with

the leisure and comfort they had built on, they were obliged to give up

the lakes, and substitute a more contracted tour, and, according to the

present plan, were to go no farther northwards than derbyshire. in that

county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three

weeks; and to mrs. gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction. the

town where she had formerly passed some years of her life, and where

they were now to spend a few days, was probably as great an object of

her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of matlock, chatsworth,

dovedale, or the peak.

elizabeth was excessively disappointed; she had set her heart on seeing

the lakes, and still thought there might have been time enough. but it

was her business to be satisfied--and certainly her temper to be happy;

and all was soon right again.

with the mention of derbyshire there were many ideas connected. it was

impossible for her to see the word without thinking of pemberley and its

owner. "but surely," said she, "i may enter his county with impunity,

and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me."

the period of expectation was now doubled. four weeks were to pass away

before her uncle and aunt's arrival. but they did pass away, and mr.

and mrs. gardiner, with their four children, did at length appear at

longbourn. the children, two girls of six and eight years old, and two

younger boys, were to be left under the particular care of their

cousin jane, who was the general favourite, and whose steady sense and

sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every

way--teaching them, playing with them, and loving them.

the gardiners stayed only one night at longbourn, and set off the

next morning with elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement.

one enjoyment was certain--that of suitableness of companions;

a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear

inconveniences--cheerfulness to enhance every pleasure--and affection

and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were

disappointments abroad.

it is not the object of this work to give a description of derbyshire,

nor of any of the remarkable places through which their route thither

lay; oxford, blenheim, warwick, kenilworth, birmingham, etc. are

sufficiently known. a small part of derbyshire is all the present

concern. to the little town of lambton, the scene of mrs. gardiner's

former residence, and where she had lately learned some acquaintance

still remained, they bent their steps, after having seen all the

principal wonders of the country; and within five miles of lambton,

elizabeth found from her aunt that pemberley was situated. it was not

in their direct road, nor more than a mile or two out of it. in

talking over their route the evening before, mrs. gardiner expressed

an inclination to see the place again. mr. gardiner declared his

willingness, and elizabeth was applied to for her approbation.

"my love, should not you like to see a place of which you have heard

so much?" said her aunt; "a place, too, with which so many of your

acquaintances are connected. wickham passed all his youth there, you

know."

elizabeth was distressed. she felt that she had no business at

pemberley, and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it. she

must own that she was tired of seeing great houses; after going over so

many, she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains.

mrs. gardiner abused her stupidity. "if it were merely a fine house

richly furnished," said she, "i should not care about it myself; but

the grounds are delightful. they have some of the finest woods in the

country."

elizabeth said no more--but her mind could not acquiesce. the

possibility of meeting mr. darcy, while viewing the place, instantly

occurred. it would be dreadful! she blushed at the very idea, and

thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such

a risk. but against this there were objections; and she finally resolved

that it could be the last resource, if her private inquiries to the

absence of the family were unfavourably answered.

accordingly, when she retired at night, she asked the chambermaid

whether pemberley were not a very fine place? what was the name of its

proprietor? and, with no little alarm, whether the family were down for

the summer? a most welcome negative followed the last question--and her

alarms now being removed, she was at leisure to feel a great deal of

curiosity to see the house herself; and when the subject was revived the

next morning, and she was again applied to, could readily answer, and

with a proper air of indifference, that she had not really any dislike

to the scheme. to pemberley, therefore, they were to go.

chapter 43

elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of

pemberley woods with some perturbation; and when at length they turned

in at the lodge, her spirits were in a high flutter.

the park was very large, and contained great variety of ground. they

entered it in one of its lowest points, and drove for some time through

a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent.

elizabeth's mind was too full for conversation, but she saw and admired

every remarkable spot and point of view. they gradually ascended for

half-a-mile, and then found themselves at the top of a considerable

eminence, where the wood ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by

pemberley house, situated on the opposite side of a valley, into which

the road with some abruptness wound. it was a large, handsome stone

building, standing well on rising ground, and backed by a ridge of

high woody hills; and in front, a stream of some natural importance was

swelled into greater, but without any artificial appearance. its banks

were neither formal nor falsely adorned. elizabeth was delighted. she

had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural

beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste. they were

all of them warm in their admiration; and at that moment she felt that

to be mistress of pemberley might be something!

they descended the hill, crossed the bridge, and drove to the door; and,

while examining the nearer aspect of the house, all her apprehension of

meeting its owner returned. she dreaded lest the chambermaid had been

mistaken. on applying to see the place, they were admitted into the

hall; and elizabeth, as they waited for the housekeeper, had leisure to

wonder at her being where she was.

the housekeeper came; a respectable-looking elderly woman, much less

fine, and more civil, than she had any notion of finding her. they

followed her into the dining-parlour. it was a large, well proportioned

room, handsomely fitted up. elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went

to a window to enjoy its prospect. the hill, crowned with wood, which

they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance,

was a beautiful object. every disposition of the ground was good; and

she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its

banks and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it,

with delight. as they passed into other rooms these objects were taking

different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be

seen. the rooms were lofty and handsome, and their furniture suitable to

the fortune of its proprietor; but elizabeth saw, with admiration of

his taste, that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine; with less of

splendour, and more real elegance, than the furniture of rosings.

"and of this place," thought she, "i might have been mistress! with

these rooms i might now have been familiarly acquainted! instead of

viewing them as a stranger, i might have rejoiced in them as my own, and

welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt. but no,"--recollecting

herself--"that could never be; my uncle and aunt would have been lost to

me; i should not have been allowed to invite them."

this was a lucky recollection--it saved her from something very like

regret.

she longed to inquire of the housekeeper whether her master was really

absent, but had not the courage for it. at length however, the question

was asked by her uncle; and she turned away with alarm, while mrs.

reynolds replied that he was, adding, "but we expect him to-morrow, with

a large party of friends." how rejoiced was elizabeth that their own

journey had not by any circumstance been delayed a day!

her aunt now called her to look at a picture. she approached and saw the

likeness of mr. wickham, suspended, amongst several other miniatures,

over the mantelpiece. her aunt asked her, smilingly, how she liked it.

the housekeeper came forward, and told them it was a picture of a young

gentleman, the son of her late master's steward, who had been brought

up by him at his own expense. "he is now gone into the army," she added;

"but i am afraid he has turned out very wild."

mrs. gardiner looked at her niece with a smile, but elizabeth could not

return it.

"and that," said mrs. reynolds, pointing to another of the miniatures,

"is my master--and very like him. it was drawn at the same time as the

other--about eight years ago."

"i have heard much of your master's fine person," said mrs. gardiner,

looking at the picture; "it is a handsome face. but, lizzy, you can tell

us whether it is like or not."

mrs. reynolds respect for elizabeth seemed to increase on this

intimation of her knowing her master.

"does that young lady know mr. darcy?"

elizabeth coloured, and said: "a little."

"and do not you think him a very handsome gentleman, ma'am?"

"yes, very handsome."

"i am sure i know none so handsome; but in the gallery up stairs you

will see a finer, larger picture of him than this. this room was my late

master's favourite room, and these miniatures are just as they used to

be then. he was very fond of them."

this accounted to elizabeth for mr. wickham's being among them.

mrs. reynolds then directed their attention to one of miss darcy, drawn

when she was only eight years old.

"and is miss darcy as handsome as her brother?" said mrs. gardiner.

"oh! yes--the handsomest young lady that ever was seen; and so

accomplished!--she plays and sings all day long. in the next room is

a new instrument just come down for her--a present from my master; she

comes here to-morrow with him."

mr. gardiner, whose manners were very easy and pleasant, encouraged her

communicativeness by his questions and remarks; mrs. reynolds, either

by pride or attachment, had evidently great pleasure in talking of her

master and his sister.

"is your master much at pemberley in the course of the year?"

"not so much as i could wish, sir; but i dare say he may spend half his

time here; and miss darcy is always down for the summer months."

"except," thought elizabeth, "when she goes to ramsgate."

"if your master would marry, you might see more of him."

"yes, sir; but i do not know when _that_ will be. i do not know who is

good enough for him."

mr. and mrs. gardiner smiled. elizabeth could not help saying, "it is

very much to his credit, i am sure, that you should think so."

"i say no more than the truth, and everybody will say that knows him,"

replied the other. elizabeth thought this was going pretty far; and she

listened with increasing astonishment as the housekeeper added, "i have

never known a cross word from him in my life, and i have known him ever

since he was four years old."

this was praise, of all others most extraordinary, most opposite to her

ideas. that he was not a good-tempered man had been her firmest opinion.

her keenest attention was awakened; she longed to hear more, and was

grateful to her uncle for saying:

"there are very few people of whom so much can be said. you are lucky in

having such a master."

"yes, sir, i know i am. if i were to go through the world, i could

not meet with a better. but i have always observed, that they who are

good-natured when children, are good-natured when they grow up; and

he was always the sweetest-tempered, most generous-hearted boy in the

world."

elizabeth almost stared at her. "can this be mr. darcy?" thought she.

"his father was an excellent man," said mrs. gardiner.

"yes, ma'am, that he was indeed; and his son will be just like him--just

as affable to the poor."

elizabeth listened, wondered, doubted, and was impatient for more. mrs.

reynolds could interest her on no other point. she related the subjects

of the pictures, the dimensions of the rooms, and the price of the

furniture, in vain. mr. gardiner, highly amused by the kind of family

prejudice to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her

master, soon led again to the subject; and she dwelt with energy on his

many merits as they proceeded together up the great staircase.

"he is the best landlord, and the best master," said she, "that ever

lived; not like the wild young men nowadays, who think of nothing but

themselves. there is not one of his tenants or servants but will give

him a good name. some people call him proud; but i am sure i never saw

anything of it. to my fancy, it is only because he does not rattle away

like other young men."

"in what an amiable light does this place him!" thought elizabeth.

"this fine account of him," whispered her aunt as they walked, "is not

quite consistent with his behaviour to our poor friend."

"perhaps we might be deceived."

"that is not very likely; our authority was too good."

on reaching the spacious lobby above they were shown into a very pretty

sitting-room, lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than

the apartments below; and were informed that it was but just done to

give pleasure to miss darcy, who had taken a liking to the room when

last at pemberley.

"he is certainly a good brother," said elizabeth, as she walked towards

one of the windows.

mrs. reynolds anticipated miss darcy's delight, when she should enter

the room. "and this is always the way with him," she added. "whatever

can give his sister any pleasure is sure to be done in a moment. there

is nothing he would not do for her."

the picture-gallery, and two or three of the principal bedrooms, were

all that remained to be shown. in the former were many good paintings;

but elizabeth knew nothing of the art; and from such as had been already

visible below, she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of miss

darcy's, in crayons, whose subjects were usually more interesting, and

also more intelligible.

in the gallery there were many family portraits, but they could have

little to fix the attention of a stranger. elizabeth walked in quest of

the only face whose features would be known to her. at last it arrested

her--and she beheld a striking resemblance to mr. darcy, with such a

smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he

looked at her. she stood several minutes before the picture, in earnest

contemplation, and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery.

mrs. reynolds informed them that it had been taken in his father's

lifetime.

there was certainly at this moment, in elizabeth's mind, a more gentle

sensation towards the original than she had ever felt at the height of

their acquaintance. the commendation bestowed on him by mrs. reynolds

was of no trifling nature. what praise is more valuable than the praise

of an intelligent servant? as a brother, a landlord, a master, she

considered how many people's happiness were in his guardianship!--how

much of pleasure or pain was it in his power to bestow!--how much of

good or evil must be done by him! every idea that had been brought

forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character, and as she

stood before the canvas on which he was represented, and fixed his

eyes upon herself, she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of

gratitude than it had ever raised before; she remembered its warmth, and

softened its impropriety of expression.

when all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen,

they returned downstairs, and, taking leave of the housekeeper, were

consigned over to the gardener, who met them at the hall-door.

as they walked across the hall towards the river, elizabeth turned back

to look again; her uncle and aunt stopped also, and while the former

was conjecturing as to the date of the building, the owner of it himself

suddenly came forward from the road, which led behind it to the stables.

they were within twenty yards of each other, and so abrupt was his

appearance, that it was impossible to avoid his sight. their eyes

instantly met, and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest

blush. he absolutely started, and for a moment seemed immovable from

surprise; but shortly recovering himself, advanced towards the party,

and spoke to elizabeth, if not in terms of perfect composure, at least

of perfect civility.

she had instinctively turned away; but stopping on his approach,

received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be

overcome. had his first appearance, or his resemblance to the picture

they had just been examining, been insufficient to assure the other two

that they now saw mr. darcy, the gardener's expression of surprise, on

beholding his master, must immediately have told it. they stood a little

aloof while he was talking to their niece, who, astonished and confused,

scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face, and knew not what answer

she returned to his civil inquiries after her family. amazed at the

alteration of his manner since they last parted, every sentence that

he uttered was increasing her embarrassment; and every idea of the

impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind, the few

minutes in which they continued were some of the most uncomfortable in

her life. nor did he seem much more at ease; when he spoke, his accent

had none of its usual sedateness; and he repeated his inquiries as

to the time of her having left longbourn, and of her having stayed in

derbyshire, so often, and in so hurried a way, as plainly spoke the

distraction of his thoughts.

at length every idea seemed to fail him; and, after standing a few

moments without saying a word, he suddenly recollected himself, and took

leave.

the others then joined her, and expressed admiration of his figure; but

elizabeth heard not a word, and wholly engrossed by her own feelings,

followed them in silence. she was overpowered by shame and vexation. her

coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the

world! how strange it must appear to him! in what a disgraceful light

might it not strike so vain a man! it might seem as if she had purposely

thrown herself in his way again! oh! why did she come? or, why did he

thus come a day before he was expected? had they been only ten minutes

sooner, they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination;

for it was plain that he was that moment arrived--that moment alighted

from his horse or his carriage. she blushed again and again over

the perverseness of the meeting. and his behaviour, so strikingly

altered--what could it mean? that he should even speak to her was

amazing!--but to speak with such civility, to inquire after her family!

never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified, never

had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting. what

a contrast did it offer to his last address in rosings park, when he put

his letter into her hand! she knew not what to think, or how to account

for it.

they had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water, and

every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground, or a finer

reach of the woods to which they were approaching; but it was some time

before elizabeth was sensible of any of it; and, though she answered

mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt, and

seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out, she

distinguished no part of the scene. her thoughts were all fixed on that

one spot of pemberley house, whichever it might be, where mr. darcy then

was. she longed to know what at the moment was passing in his mind--in

what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of everything,

she was still dear to him. perhaps he had been civil only because he

felt himself at ease; yet there had been _that_ in his voice which was

not like ease. whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in

seeing her she could not tell, but he certainly had not seen her with

composure.

at length, however, the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind

aroused her, and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself.

they entered the woods, and bidding adieu to the river for a while,

ascended some of the higher grounds; when, in spots where the opening of

the trees gave the eye power to wander, were many charming views of the

valley, the opposite hills, with the long range of woods overspreading

many, and occasionally part of the stream. mr. gardiner expressed a wish

of going round the whole park, but feared it might be beyond a walk.

with a triumphant smile they were told that it was ten miles round.

it settled the matter; and they pursued the accustomed circuit; which

brought them again, after some time, in a descent among hanging woods,

to the edge of the water, and one of its narrowest parts. they crossed

it by a simple bridge, in character with the general air of the scene;

it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited; and the

valley, here contracted into a glen, allowed room only for the stream,

and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppice-wood which bordered it.

elizabeth longed to explore its windings; but when they had crossed the

bridge, and perceived their distance from the house, mrs. gardiner,

who was not a great walker, could go no farther, and thought only

of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible. her niece was,

therefore, obliged to submit, and they took their way towards the house

on the opposite side of the river, in the nearest direction; but their

progress was slow, for mr. gardiner, though seldom able to indulge the

taste, was very fond of fishing, and was so much engaged in watching the

occasional appearance of some trout in the water, and talking to the

man about them, that he advanced but little. whilst wandering on in this

slow manner, they were again surprised, and elizabeth's astonishment

was quite equal to what it had been at first, by the sight of mr. darcy

approaching them, and at no great distance. the walk being here

less sheltered than on the other side, allowed them to see him before

they met. elizabeth, however astonished, was at least more prepared

for an interview than before, and resolved to appear and to speak with

calmness, if he really intended to meet them. for a few moments, indeed,

she felt that he would probably strike into some other path. the idea

lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view; the

turning past, he was immediately before them. with a glance, she saw

that he had lost none of his recent civility; and, to imitate his

politeness, she began, as they met, to admire the beauty of the place;

but she had not got beyond the words "delightful," and "charming," when

some unlucky recollections obtruded, and she fancied that praise of

pemberley from her might be mischievously construed. her colour changed,

and she said no more.

mrs. gardiner was standing a little behind; and on her pausing, he asked

her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends.

this was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared;

and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the

acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had

revolted in his offer to herself. "what will be his surprise," thought

she, "when he knows who they are? he takes them now for people of

fashion."

the introduction, however, was immediately made; and as she named their

relationship to herself, she stole a sly look at him, to see how he bore

it, and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he

could from such disgraceful companions. that he was _surprised_ by the

connection was evident; he sustained it, however, with fortitude, and

so far from going away, turned back with them, and entered into

conversation with mr. gardiner. elizabeth could not but be pleased,

could not but triumph. it was consoling that he should know she had

some relations for whom there was no need to blush. she listened most

attentively to all that passed between them, and gloried in every

expression, every sentence of her uncle, which marked his intelligence,

his taste, or his good manners.

the conversation soon turned upon fishing; and she heard mr. darcy

invite him, with the greatest civility, to fish there as often as he

chose while he continued in the neighbourhood, offering at the same time

to supply him with fishing tackle, and pointing out those parts of

the stream where there was usually most sport. mrs. gardiner, who was

walking arm-in-arm with elizabeth, gave her a look expressive of wonder.

elizabeth said nothing, but it gratified her exceedingly; the compliment

must be all for herself. her astonishment, however, was extreme, and

continually was she repeating, "why is he so altered? from what can

it proceed? it cannot be for _me_--it cannot be for _my_ sake that his

manners are thus softened. my reproofs at hunsford could not work such a

change as this. it is impossible that he should still love me."

after walking some time in this way, the two ladies in front, the two

gentlemen behind, on resuming their places, after descending to

the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious

water-plant, there chanced to be a little alteration. it originated

in mrs. gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found

elizabeth's arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred

her husband's. mr. darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on

together. after a short silence, the lady first spoke. she wished him

to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the

place, and accordingly began by observing, that his arrival had been

very unexpected--"for your housekeeper," she added, "informed us that

you would certainly not be here till to-morrow; and indeed, before we

left bakewell, we understood that you were not immediately expected

in the country." he acknowledged the truth of it all, and said that

business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours

before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling. "they

will join me early to-morrow," he continued, "and among them are some

who will claim an acquaintance with you--mr. bingley and his sisters."

elizabeth answered only by a slight bow. her thoughts were instantly

driven back to the time when mr. bingley's name had been the last

mentioned between them; and, if she might judge by his complexion, _his_

mind was not very differently engaged.

"there is also one other person in the party," he continued after a

pause, "who more particularly wishes to be known to you. will you allow

me, or do i ask too much, to introduce my sister to your acquaintance

during your stay at lambton?"

the surprise of such an application was great indeed; it was too great

for her to know in what manner she acceded to it. she immediately felt

that whatever desire miss darcy might have of being acquainted with her

must be the work of her brother, and, without looking farther, it was

satisfactory; it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made

him think really ill of her.

they now walked on in silence, each of them deep in thought. elizabeth

was not comfortable; that was impossible; but she was flattered and

pleased. his wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of

the highest kind. they soon outstripped the others, and when they had

reached the carriage, mr. and mrs. gardiner were half a quarter of a

mile behind.

he then asked her to walk into the house--but she declared herself not

tired, and they stood together on the lawn. at such a time much might

have been said, and silence was very awkward. she wanted to talk, but

there seemed to be an embargo on every subject. at last she recollected

that she had been travelling, and they talked of matlock and dove dale

with great perseverance. yet time and her aunt moved slowly--and her

patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the tete-a-tete was

over. on mr. and mrs. gardiner's coming up they were all pressed to go

into the house and take some refreshment; but this was declined, and

they parted on each side with utmost politeness. mr. darcy handed the

ladies into the carriage; and when it drove off, elizabeth saw him

walking slowly towards the house.

the observations of her uncle and aunt now began; and each of them

pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected.

"he is perfectly well behaved, polite, and unassuming," said her uncle.

"there _is_ something a little stately in him, to be sure," replied her

aunt, "but it is confined to his air, and is not unbecoming. i can now

say with the housekeeper, that though some people may call him proud, i

have seen nothing of it."

"i was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us. it was more

than civil; it was really attentive; and there was no necessity for such

attention. his acquaintance with elizabeth was very trifling."

"to be sure, lizzy," said her aunt, "he is not so handsome as wickham;

or, rather, he has not wickham's countenance, for his features

are perfectly good. but how came you to tell me that he was so

disagreeable?"

elizabeth excused herself as well as she could; said that she had liked

him better when they had met in kent than before, and that she had never

seen him so pleasant as this morning.

"but perhaps he may be a little whimsical in his civilities," replied

her uncle. "your great men often are; and therefore i shall not take him

at his word, as he might change his mind another day, and warn me off

his grounds."

elizabeth felt that they had entirely misunderstood his character, but

said nothing.

"from what we have seen of him," continued mrs. gardiner, "i really

should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by

anybody as he has done by poor wickham. he has not an ill-natured look.

on the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he

speaks. and there is something of dignity in his countenance that would

not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart. but, to be sure, the

good lady who showed us his house did give him a most flaming character!

i could hardly help laughing aloud sometimes. but he is a liberal

master, i suppose, and _that_ in the eye of a servant comprehends every

virtue."

elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of

his behaviour to wickham; and therefore gave them to understand, in

as guarded a manner as she could, that by what she had heard from

his relations in kent, his actions were capable of a very different

construction; and that his character was by no means so faulty, nor

wickham's so amiable, as they had been considered in hertfordshire. in

confirmation of this, she related the particulars of all the pecuniary

transactions in which they had been connected, without actually naming

her authority, but stating it to be such as might be relied on.

mrs. gardiner was surprised and concerned; but as they were now

approaching the scene of her former pleasures, every idea gave way to

the charm of recollection; and she was too much engaged in pointing out

to her husband all the interesting spots in its environs to think of

anything else. fatigued as she had been by the morning's walk they

had no sooner dined than she set off again in quest of her former

acquaintance, and the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a

intercourse renewed after many years' discontinuance.

the occurrences of the day were too full of interest to leave elizabeth

much attention for any of these new friends; and she could do nothing

but think, and think with wonder, of mr. darcy's civility, and, above

all, of his wishing her to be acquainted with his sister.

chapter 44

elizabeth had settled it that mr. darcy would bring his sister to visit

her the very day after her reaching pemberley; and was consequently

resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning.

but her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their

arrival at lambton, these visitors came. they had been walking about the

place with some of their new friends, and were just returning to the inn

to dress themselves for dining with the same family, when the sound of a

carriage drew them to a window, and they saw a gentleman and a lady in

a curricle driving up the street. elizabeth immediately recognizing

the livery, guessed what it meant, and imparted no small degree of her

surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she

expected. her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment

of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many

of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on

the business. nothing had ever suggested it before, but they felt that

there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a

quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece. while these

newly-born notions were passing in their heads, the perturbation of

elizabeth's feelings was at every moment increasing. she was quite

amazed at her own discomposure; but amongst other causes of disquiet,

she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much

in her favour; and, more than commonly anxious to please, she naturally

suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her.

she retreated from the window, fearful of being seen; and as she walked

up and down the room, endeavouring to compose herself, saw such looks of

inquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse.

miss darcy and her brother appeared, and this formidable introduction

took place. with astonishment did elizabeth see that her new

acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself. since her

being at lambton, she had heard that miss darcy was exceedingly proud;

but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was

only exceedingly shy. she found it difficult to obtain even a word from

her beyond a monosyllable.

miss darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than elizabeth; and, though

little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance

womanly and graceful. she was less handsome than her brother; but there

was sense and good humour in her face, and her manners were perfectly

unassuming and gentle. elizabeth, who had expected to find in her as

acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever mr. darcy had been, was much

relieved by discerning such different feelings.

they had not long been together before mr. darcy told her that bingley

was also coming to wait on her; and she had barely time to express her

satisfaction, and prepare for such a visitor, when bingley's quick

step was heard on the stairs, and in a moment he entered the room. all

elizabeth's anger against him had been long done away; but had she still

felt any, it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected

cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again. he

inquired in a friendly, though general way, after her family, and looked

and spoke with the same good-humoured ease that he had ever done.

to mr. and mrs. gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage

than to herself. they had long wished to see him. the whole party before

them, indeed, excited a lively attention. the suspicions which had just

arisen of mr. darcy and their niece directed their observation towards

each with an earnest though guarded inquiry; and they soon drew from

those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew

what it was to love. of the lady's sensations they remained a little

in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was

evident enough.

elizabeth, on her side, had much to do. she wanted to ascertain the

feelings of each of her visitors; she wanted to compose her own, and

to make herself agreeable to all; and in the latter object, where she

feared most to fail, she was most sure of success, for those to whom she

endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour. bingley

was ready, georgiana was eager, and darcy determined, to be pleased.

in seeing bingley, her thoughts naturally flew to her sister; and, oh!

how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in

a like manner. sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on

former occasions, and once or twice pleased herself with the notion

that, as he looked at her, he was trying to trace a resemblance. but,

though this might be imaginary, she could not be deceived as to his

behaviour to miss darcy, who had been set up as a rival to jane. no look

appeared on either side that spoke particular regard. nothing occurred

between them that could justify the hopes of his sister. on this point

she was soon satisfied; and two or three little circumstances occurred

ere they parted, which, in her anxious interpretation, denoted a

recollection of jane not untinctured by tenderness, and a wish of saying

more that might lead to the mention of her, had he dared. he observed

to her, at a moment when the others were talking together, and in a tone

which had something of real regret, that it "was a very long time since

he had had the pleasure of seeing her;" and, before she could reply,

he added, "it is above eight months. we have not met since the 26th of

november, when we were all dancing together at netherfield."

elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact; and he afterwards

took occasion to ask her, when unattended to by any of the rest, whether

_all_ her sisters were at longbourn. there was not much in the question,

nor in the preceding remark; but there was a look and a manner which

gave them meaning.

it was not often that she could turn her eyes on mr. darcy himself;

but, whenever she did catch a glimpse, she saw an expression of general

complaisance, and in all that he said she heard an accent so removed

from _hauteur_ or disdain of his companions, as convinced her that

the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed however

temporary its existence might prove, had at least outlived one day. when

she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion

of people with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a

disgrace--when she saw him thus civil, not only to herself, but to the

very relations whom he had openly disdained, and recollected their last

lively scene in hunsford parsonage--the difference, the change was

so great, and struck so forcibly on her mind, that she could hardly

restrain her astonishment from being visible. never, even in the company

of his dear friends at netherfield, or his dignified relations

at rosings, had she seen him so desirous to please, so free from

self-consequence or unbending reserve, as now, when no importance

could result from the success of his endeavours, and when even the

acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw

down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of netherfield and

rosings.

their visitors stayed with them above half-an-hour; and when they arose

to depart, mr. darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing

their wish of seeing mr. and mrs. gardiner, and miss bennet, to dinner

at pemberley, before they left the country. miss darcy, though with a

diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations,

readily obeyed. mrs. gardiner looked at her niece, desirous of knowing

how _she_, whom the invitation most concerned, felt disposed as to its

acceptance, but elizabeth had turned away her head. presuming however,

that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment than

any dislike of the proposal, and seeing in her husband, who was fond of

society, a perfect willingness to accept it, she ventured to engage for

her attendance, and the day after the next was fixed on.

bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing elizabeth

again, having still a great deal to say to her, and many inquiries to

make after all their hertfordshire friends. elizabeth, construing all

this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister, was pleased, and on

this account, as well as some others, found herself, when their

visitors left them, capable of considering the last half-hour with some

satisfaction, though while it was passing, the enjoyment of it had been

little. eager to be alone, and fearful of inquiries or hints from her

uncle and aunt, she stayed with them only long enough to hear their

favourable opinion of bingley, and then hurried away to dress.

but she had no reason to fear mr. and mrs. gardiner's curiosity; it was

not their wish to force her communication. it was evident that she was

much better acquainted with mr. darcy than they had before any idea of;

it was evident that he was very much in love with her. they saw much to

interest, but nothing to justify inquiry.

of mr. darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well; and, as far

as their acquaintance reached, there was no fault to find. they could

not be untouched by his politeness; and had they drawn his character

from their own feelings and his servant's report, without any reference

to any other account, the circle in hertfordshire to which he was known

would not have recognized it for mr. darcy. there was now an interest,

however, in believing the housekeeper; and they soon became sensible

that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four

years old, and whose own manners indicated respectability, was not to be

hastily rejected. neither had anything occurred in the intelligence of

their lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight. they had

nothing to accuse him of but pride; pride he probably had, and if not,

it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small market-town

where the family did not visit. it was acknowledged, however, that he

was a liberal man, and did much good among the poor.

with respect to wickham, the travellers soon found that he was not held

there in much estimation; for though the chief of his concerns with the

son of his patron were imperfectly understood, it was yet a well-known

fact that, on his quitting derbyshire, he had left many debts behind

him, which mr. darcy afterwards discharged.

as for elizabeth, her thoughts were at pemberley this evening more than

the last; and the evening, though as it passed it seemed long, was not

long enough to determine her feelings towards _one_ in that mansion;

and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out. she

certainly did not hate him. no; hatred had vanished long ago, and she

had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him,

that could be so called. the respect created by the conviction of his

valuable qualities, though at first unwillingly admitted, had for some

time ceased to be repugnant to her feeling; and it was now heightened

into somewhat of a friendlier nature, by the testimony so highly in

his favour, and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light,

which yesterday had produced. but above all, above respect and esteem,

there was a motive within her of goodwill which could not be overlooked.

it was gratitude; gratitude, not merely for having once loved her,

but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and

acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations

accompanying her rejection. he who, she had been persuaded, would avoid

her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most

eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display

of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only

were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent

on making her known to his sister. such a change in a man of so much

pride exciting not only astonishment but gratitude--for to love, ardent

love, it must be attributed; and as such its impression on her was of a

sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be

exactly defined. she respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him,

she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how

far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would

be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her

fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on her the renewal of

his addresses.

it had been settled in the evening between the aunt and the niece, that

such a striking civility as miss darcy's in coming to see them on the

very day of her arrival at pemberley, for she had reached it only to a

late breakfast, ought to be imitated, though it could not be equalled,

by some exertion of politeness on their side; and, consequently, that

it would be highly expedient to wait on her at pemberley the following

morning. they were, therefore, to go. elizabeth was pleased; though when

she asked herself the reason, she had very little to say in reply.

mr. gardiner left them soon after breakfast. the fishing scheme had been

renewed the day before, and a positive engagement made of his meeting

some of the gentlemen at pemberley before noon.

chapter 45

convinced as elizabeth now was that miss bingley's dislike of her had

originated in jealousy, she could not help feeling how unwelcome her

appearance at pemberley must be to her, and was curious to know with how

much civility on that lady's side the acquaintance would now be renewed.

on reaching the house, they were shown through the hall into the saloon,

whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer. its windows

opening to the ground, admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody

hills behind the house, and of the beautiful oaks and spanish chestnuts

which were scattered over the intermediate lawn.

in this house they were received by miss darcy, who was sitting there

with mrs. hurst and miss bingley, and the lady with whom she lived in

london. georgiana's reception of them was very civil, but attended with

all the embarrassment which, though proceeding from shyness and the fear

of doing wrong, would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior

the belief of her being proud and reserved. mrs. gardiner and her niece,

however, did her justice, and pitied her.

by mrs. hurst and miss bingley they were noticed only by a curtsey; and,

on their being seated, a pause, awkward as such pauses must always be,

succeeded for a few moments. it was first broken by mrs. annesley, a

genteel, agreeable-looking woman, whose endeavour to introduce some kind

of discourse proved her to be more truly well-bred than either of the

others; and between her and mrs. gardiner, with occasional help from

elizabeth, the conversation was carried on. miss darcy looked as if she

wished for courage enough to join in it; and sometimes did venture a

short sentence when there was least danger of its being heard.

elizabeth soon saw that she was herself closely watched by miss bingley,

and that she could not speak a word, especially to miss darcy, without

calling her attention. this observation would not have prevented her

from trying to talk to the latter, had they not been seated at an

inconvenient distance; but she was not sorry to be spared the necessity

of saying much. her own thoughts were employing her. she expected every

moment that some of the gentlemen would enter the room. she wished, she

feared that the master of the house might be amongst them; and whether

she wished or feared it most, she could scarcely determine. after

sitting in this manner a quarter of an hour without hearing miss

bingley's voice, elizabeth was roused by receiving from her a cold

inquiry after the health of her family. she answered with equal

indifference and brevity, and the other said no more.

the next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the

entrance of servants with cold meat, cake, and a variety of all the

finest fruits in season; but this did not take place till after many

a significant look and smile from mrs. annesley to miss darcy had been

given, to remind her of her post. there was now employment for the whole

party--for though they could not all talk, they could all eat; and the

beautiful pyramids of grapes, nectarines, and peaches soon collected

them round the table.

while thus engaged, elizabeth had a fair opportunity of deciding whether

she most feared or wished for the appearance of mr. darcy, by the

feelings which prevailed on his entering the room; and then, though but

a moment before she had believed her wishes to predominate, she began to

regret that he came.

he had been some time with mr. gardiner, who, with two or three other

gentlemen from the house, was engaged by the river, and had left him

only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to

georgiana that morning. no sooner did he appear than elizabeth wisely

resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed; a resolution the more

necessary to be made, but perhaps not the more easily kept, because she

saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them,

and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour

when he first came into the room. in no countenance was attentive

curiosity so strongly marked as in miss bingley's, in spite of the

smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its

objects; for jealousy had not yet made her desperate, and her attentions

to mr. darcy were by no means over. miss darcy, on her brother's

entrance, exerted herself much more to talk, and elizabeth saw that he

was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted, and forwarded

as much as possible, every attempt at conversation on either side. miss

bingley saw all this likewise; and, in the imprudence of anger, took the

first opportunity of saying, with sneering civility:

"pray, miss eliza, are not the ----shire militia removed from meryton?

they must be a great loss to _your_ family."

in darcy's presence she dared not mention wickham's name; but elizabeth

instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts; and the

various recollections connected with him gave her a moment's distress;

but exerting herself vigorously to repel the ill-natured attack, she

presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone. while

she spoke, an involuntary glance showed her darcy, with a heightened

complexion, earnestly looking at her, and his sister overcome with

confusion, and unable to lift up her eyes. had miss bingley known what

pain she was then giving her beloved friend, she undoubtedly would

have refrained from the hint; but she had merely intended to discompose

elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed

her partial, to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in

darcy's opinion, and, perhaps, to remind the latter of all the follies

and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected

with that corps. not a syllable had ever reached her of miss darcy's

meditated elopement. to no creature had it been revealed, where secrecy

was possible, except to elizabeth; and from all bingley's connections

her brother was particularly anxious to conceal it, from the very

wish which elizabeth had long ago attributed to him, of their becoming

hereafter her own. he had certainly formed such a plan, and without

meaning that it should affect his endeavour to separate him from miss

bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern

for the welfare of his friend.

elizabeth's collected behaviour, however, soon quieted his emotion; and

as miss bingley, vexed and disappointed, dared not approach nearer to

wickham, georgiana also recovered in time, though not enough to be able

to speak any more. her brother, whose eye she feared to meet, scarcely

recollected her interest in the affair, and the very circumstance which

had been designed to turn his thoughts from elizabeth seemed to have

fixed them on her more and more cheerfully.

their visit did not continue long after the question and answer above

mentioned; and while mr. darcy was attending them to their carriage miss

bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on elizabeth's person,

behaviour, and dress. but georgiana would not join her. her brother's

recommendation was enough to ensure her favour; his judgement could not

err. and he had spoken in such terms of elizabeth as to leave georgiana

without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable. when

darcy returned to the saloon, miss bingley could not help repeating to

him some part of what she had been saying to his sister.

"how very ill miss eliza bennet looks this morning, mr. darcy," she

cried; "i never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is since

the winter. she is grown so brown and coarse! louisa and i were agreeing

that we should not have known her again."

however little mr. darcy might have liked such an address, he contented

himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than

her being rather tanned, no miraculous consequence of travelling in the

summer.

"for my own part," she rejoined, "i must confess that i never could

see any beauty in her. her face is too thin; her complexion has no

brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. her nose

wants character--there is nothing marked in its lines. her teeth are

tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes,

which have sometimes been called so fine, i could never see anything

extraordinary in them. they have a sharp, shrewish look, which i do

not like at all; and in her air altogether there is a self-sufficiency

without fashion, which is intolerable."

persuaded as miss bingley was that darcy admired elizabeth, this was not

the best method of recommending herself; but angry people are not always

wise; and in seeing him at last look somewhat nettled, she had all the

success she expected. he was resolutely silent, however, and, from a

determination of making him speak, she continued:

"i remember, when we first knew her in hertfordshire, how amazed we all

were to find that she was a reputed beauty; and i particularly recollect

your saying one night, after they had been dining at netherfield, '_she_

a beauty!--i should as soon call her mother a wit.' but afterwards she

seemed to improve on you, and i believe you thought her rather pretty at

one time."

"yes," replied darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but _that_

was only when i first saw her, for it is many months since i have

considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance."

he then went away, and miss bingley was left to all the satisfaction of

having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself.

mrs. gardiner and elizabeth talked of all that had occurred during their

visit, as they returned, except what had particularly interested them

both. the look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed,

except of the person who had mostly engaged their attention. they talked

of his sister, his friends, his house, his fruit--of everything but

himself; yet elizabeth was longing to know what mrs. gardiner thought of

him, and mrs. gardiner would have been highly gratified by her niece's

beginning the subject.

chapter 46

elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from

jane on their first arrival at lambton; and this disappointment had been

renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there; but

on the third her repining was over, and her sister justified, by the

receipt of two letters from her at once, on one of which was marked that

it had been missent elsewhere. elizabeth was not surprised at it, as

jane had written the direction remarkably ill.

they had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in; and

her uncle and aunt, leaving her to enjoy them in quiet, set off by

themselves. the one missent must first be attended to; it had been

written five days ago. the beginning contained an account of all their

little parties and engagements, with such news as the country afforded;

but the latter half, which was dated a day later, and written in evident

agitation, gave more important intelligence. it was to this effect:

"since writing the above, dearest lizzy, something has occurred of a

most unexpected and serious nature; but i am afraid of alarming you--be

assured that we are all well. what i have to say relates to poor lydia.

an express came at twelve last night, just as we were all gone to bed,

from colonel forster, to inform us that she was gone off to scotland

with one of his officers; to own the truth, with wickham! imagine our

surprise. to kitty, however, it does not seem so wholly unexpected. i am

very, very sorry. so imprudent a match on both sides! but i am willing

to hope the best, and that his character has been misunderstood.

thoughtless and indiscreet i can easily believe him, but this step

(and let us rejoice over it) marks nothing bad at heart. his choice is

disinterested at least, for he must know my father can give her nothing.

our poor mother is sadly grieved. my father bears it better. how

thankful am i that we never let them know what has been said against

him; we must forget it ourselves. they were off saturday night about

twelve, as is conjectured, but were not missed till yesterday morning at

eight. the express was sent off directly. my dear lizzy, they must have

passed within ten miles of us. colonel forster gives us reason to expect

him here soon. lydia left a few lines for his wife, informing her of

their intention. i must conclude, for i cannot be long from my poor

mother. i am afraid you will not be able to make it out, but i hardly

know what i have written."

without allowing herself time for consideration, and scarcely knowing

what she felt, elizabeth on finishing this letter instantly seized the

other, and opening it with the utmost impatience, read as follows: it

had been written a day later than the conclusion of the first.

"by this time, my dearest sister, you have received my hurried letter; i

wish this may be more intelligible, but though not confined for time, my

head is so bewildered that i cannot answer for being coherent. dearest

lizzy, i hardly know what i would write, but i have bad news for you,

and it cannot be delayed. imprudent as the marriage between mr. wickham

and our poor lydia would be, we are now anxious to be assured it has

taken place, for there is but too much reason to fear they are not gone

to scotland. colonel forster came yesterday, having left brighton the

day before, not many hours after the express. though lydia's short

letter to mrs. f. gave them to understand that they were going to gretna

green, something was dropped by denny expressing his belief that w.

never intended to go there, or to marry lydia at all, which was

repeated to colonel f., who, instantly taking the alarm, set off from b.

intending to trace their route. he did trace them easily to clapham,

but no further; for on entering that place, they removed into a hackney

coach, and dismissed the chaise that brought them from epsom. all that

is known after this is, that they were seen to continue the london road.

i know not what to think. after making every possible inquiry on that

side london, colonel f. came on into hertfordshire, anxiously renewing

them at all the turnpikes, and at the inns in barnet and hatfield, but

without any success--no such people had been seen to pass through. with

the kindest concern he came on to longbourn, and broke his apprehensions

to us in a manner most creditable to his heart. i am sincerely grieved

for him and mrs. f., but no one can throw any blame on them. our

distress, my dear lizzy, is very great. my father and mother believe the

worst, but i cannot think so ill of him. many circumstances might make

it more eligible for them to be married privately in town than to pursue

their first plan; and even if _he_ could form such a design against a

young woman of lydia's connections, which is not likely, can i suppose

her so lost to everything? impossible! i grieve to find, however, that

colonel f. is not disposed to depend upon their marriage; he shook his

head when i expressed my hopes, and said he feared w. was not a man to

be trusted. my poor mother is really ill, and keeps her room. could she

exert herself, it would be better; but this is not to be expected. and

as to my father, i never in my life saw him so affected. poor kitty has

anger for having concealed their attachment; but as it was a matter of

confidence, one cannot wonder. i am truly glad, dearest lizzy, that you

have been spared something of these distressing scenes; but now, as the

first shock is over, shall i own that i long for your return? i am not

so selfish, however, as to press for it, if inconvenient. adieu! i

take up my pen again to do what i have just told you i would not; but

circumstances are such that i cannot help earnestly begging you all to

come here as soon as possible. i know my dear uncle and aunt so well,

that i am not afraid of requesting it, though i have still something

more to ask of the former. my father is going to london with colonel

forster instantly, to try to discover her. what he means to do i am sure

i know not; but his excessive distress will not allow him to pursue any

measure in the best and safest way, and colonel forster is obliged to

be at brighton again to-morrow evening. in such an exigence, my

uncle's advice and assistance would be everything in the world; he will

immediately comprehend what i must feel, and i rely upon his goodness."

"oh! where, where is my uncle?" cried elizabeth, darting from her seat

as she finished the letter, in eagerness to follow him, without losing

a moment of the time so precious; but as she reached the door it was

opened by a servant, and mr. darcy appeared. her pale face and impetuous

manner made him start, and before he could recover himself to speak,

she, in whose mind every idea was superseded by lydia's situation,

hastily exclaimed, "i beg your pardon, but i must leave you. i must find

mr. gardiner this moment, on business that cannot be delayed; i have not

an instant to lose."

"good god! what is the matter?" cried he, with more feeling than

politeness; then recollecting himself, "i will not detain you a minute;

but let me, or let the servant go after mr. and mrs. gardiner. you are

not well enough; you cannot go yourself."

elizabeth hesitated, but her knees trembled under her and she felt how

little would be gained by her attempting to pursue them. calling back

the servant, therefore, she commissioned him, though in so breathless

an accent as made her almost unintelligible, to fetch his master and

mistress home instantly.

on his quitting the room she sat down, unable to support herself, and

looking so miserably ill, that it was impossible for darcy to leave her,

or to refrain from saying, in a tone of gentleness and commiseration,

"let me call your maid. is there nothing you could take to give you

present relief? a glass of wine; shall i get you one? you are very ill."

"no, i thank you," she replied, endeavouring to recover herself. "there

is nothing the matter with me. i am quite well; i am only distressed by

some dreadful news which i have just received from longbourn."

she burst into tears as she alluded to it, and for a few minutes could

not speak another word. darcy, in wretched suspense, could only say

something indistinctly of his concern, and observe her in compassionate

silence. at length she spoke again. "i have just had a letter from jane,

with such dreadful news. it cannot be concealed from anyone. my younger

sister has left all her friends--has eloped; has thrown herself into

the power of--of mr. wickham. they are gone off together from brighton.

_you_ know him too well to doubt the rest. she has no money, no

connections, nothing that can tempt him to--she is lost for ever."

darcy was fixed in astonishment. "when i consider," she added in a yet

more agitated voice, "that i might have prevented it! i, who knew what

he was. had i but explained some part of it only--some part of what i

learnt, to my own family! had his character been known, this could not

have happened. but it is all--all too late now."

"i am grieved indeed," cried darcy; "grieved--shocked. but is it

certain--absolutely certain?"

"oh, yes! they left brighton together on sunday night, and were traced

almost to london, but not beyond; they are certainly not gone to

scotland."

"and what has been done, what has been attempted, to recover her?"

"my father is gone to london, and jane has written to beg my uncle's

immediate assistance; and we shall be off, i hope, in half-an-hour. but

nothing can be done--i know very well that nothing can be done. how is

such a man to be worked on? how are they even to be discovered? i have

not the smallest hope. it is every way horrible!"

darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence.

"when _my_ eyes were opened to his real character--oh! had i known what

i ought, what i dared to do! but i knew not--i was afraid of doing too

much. wretched, wretched mistake!"

darcy made no answer. he seemed scarcely to hear her, and was walking

up and down the room in earnest meditation, his brow contracted, his air

gloomy. elizabeth soon observed, and instantly understood it. her

power was sinking; everything _must_ sink under such a proof of family

weakness, such an assurance of the deepest disgrace. she could neither

wonder nor condemn, but the belief of his self-conquest brought nothing

consolatory to her bosom, afforded no palliation of her distress. it

was, on the contrary, exactly calculated to make her understand her own

wishes; and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved

him, as now, when all love must be vain.

but self, though it would intrude, could not engross her. lydia--the

humiliation, the misery she was bringing on them all, soon swallowed

up every private care; and covering her face with her handkerchief,

elizabeth was soon lost to everything else; and, after a pause of

several minutes, was only recalled to a sense of her situation by

the voice of her companion, who, in a manner which, though it spoke

compassion, spoke likewise restraint, said, "i am afraid you have been

long desiring my absence, nor have i anything to plead in excuse of my

stay, but real, though unavailing concern. would to heaven that anything

could be either said or done on my part that might offer consolation to

such distress! but i will not torment you with vain wishes, which may

seem purposely to ask for your thanks. this unfortunate affair will, i

fear, prevent my sister's having the pleasure of seeing you at pemberley

to-day."

"oh, yes. be so kind as to apologise for us to miss darcy. say that

urgent business calls us home immediately. conceal the unhappy truth as

long as it is possible, i know it cannot be long."

he readily assured her of his secrecy; again expressed his sorrow for

her distress, wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present

reason to hope, and leaving his compliments for her relations, with only

one serious, parting look, went away.

as he quitted the room, elizabeth felt how improbable it was that they

should ever see each other again on such terms of cordiality as

had marked their several meetings in derbyshire; and as she threw a

retrospective glance over the whole of their acquaintance, so full

of contradictions and varieties, sighed at the perverseness of those

feelings which would now have promoted its continuance, and would

formerly have rejoiced in its termination.

if gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection, elizabeth's

change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty. but if

otherwise--if regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or

unnatural, in comparison of what is so often described as arising on

a first interview with its object, and even before two words have been

exchanged, nothing can be said in her defence, except that she had given

somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for wickham,

and that its ill success might, perhaps, authorise her to seek the other

less interesting mode of attachment. be that as it may, she saw him

go with regret; and in this early example of what lydia's infamy must

produce, found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched

business. never, since reading jane's second letter, had she entertained

a hope of wickham's meaning to marry her. no one but jane, she thought,

could flatter herself with such an expectation. surprise was the least

of her feelings on this development. while the contents of the first

letter remained in her mind, she was all surprise--all astonishment that

wickham should marry a girl whom it was impossible he could marry

for money; and how lydia could ever have attached him had appeared

incomprehensible. but now it was all too natural. for such an attachment

as this she might have sufficient charms; and though she did not suppose

lydia to be deliberately engaging in an elopement without the intention

of marriage, she had no difficulty in believing that neither her virtue

nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy prey.

she had never perceived, while the regiment was in hertfordshire, that

lydia had any partiality for him; but she was convinced that lydia

wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody. sometimes one

officer, sometimes another, had been her favourite, as their attentions

raised them in her opinion. her affections had continually been

fluctuating but never without an object. the mischief of neglect and

mistaken indulgence towards such a girl--oh! how acutely did she now

feel it!

she was wild to be at home--to hear, to see, to be upon the spot to

share with jane in the cares that must now fall wholly upon her, in a

family so deranged, a father absent, a mother incapable of exertion, and

requiring constant attendance; and though almost persuaded that nothing

could be done for lydia, her uncle's interference seemed of the utmost

importance, and till he entered the room her impatience was severe. mr.

and mrs. gardiner had hurried back in alarm, supposing by the servant's

account that their niece was taken suddenly ill; but satisfying them

instantly on that head, she eagerly communicated the cause of their

summons, reading the two letters aloud, and dwelling on the postscript

of the last with trembling energy.--though lydia had never been a

favourite with them, mr. and mrs. gardiner could not but be deeply

afflicted. not lydia only, but all were concerned in it; and after the

first exclamations of surprise and horror, mr. gardiner promised every

assistance in his power. elizabeth, though expecting no less, thanked

him with tears of gratitude; and all three being actuated by one spirit,

everything relating to their journey was speedily settled. they were to

be off as soon as possible. "but what is to be done about pemberley?"

cried mrs. gardiner. "john told us mr. darcy was here when you sent for

us; was it so?"

"yes; and i told him we should not be able to keep our engagement.

_that_ is all settled."

"what is all settled?" repeated the other, as she ran into her room to

prepare. "and are they upon such terms as for her to disclose the real

truth? oh, that i knew how it was!"

but wishes were vain, or at least could only serve to amuse her in the

hurry and confusion of the following hour. had elizabeth been at leisure

to be idle, she would have remained certain that all employment was

impossible to one so wretched as herself; but she had her share of

business as well as her aunt, and amongst the rest there were notes to

be written to all their friends at lambton, with false excuses for their

sudden departure. an hour, however, saw the whole completed; and mr.

gardiner meanwhile having settled his account at the inn, nothing

remained to be done but to go; and elizabeth, after all the misery of

the morning, found herself, in a shorter space of time than she could

have supposed, seated in the carriage, and on the road to longbourn.

chapter 47

"i have been thinking it over again, elizabeth," said her uncle, as they

drove from the town; "and really, upon serious consideration, i am much

more inclined than i was to judge as your eldest sister does on the

matter. it appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should

form such a design against a girl who is by no means unprotected or

friendless, and who was actually staying in his colonel's family, that i

am strongly inclined to hope the best. could he expect that her friends

would not step forward? could he expect to be noticed again by the

regiment, after such an affront to colonel forster? his temptation is

not adequate to the risk!"

"do you really think so?" cried elizabeth, brightening up for a moment.

"upon my word," said mrs. gardiner, "i begin to be of your uncle's

opinion. it is really too great a violation of decency, honour, and

interest, for him to be guilty of. i cannot think so very ill of

wickham. can you yourself, lizzy, so wholly give him up, as to believe

him capable of it?"

"not, perhaps, of neglecting his own interest; but of every other

neglect i can believe him capable. if, indeed, it should be so! but i

dare not hope it. why should they not go on to scotland if that had been

the case?"

"in the first place," replied mr. gardiner, "there is no absolute proof

that they are not gone to scotland."

"oh! but their removing from the chaise into a hackney coach is such

a presumption! and, besides, no traces of them were to be found on the

barnet road."

"well, then--supposing them to be in london. they may be there, though

for the purpose of concealment, for no more exceptional purpose. it is

not likely that money should be very abundant on either side; and it

might strike them that they could be more economically, though less

expeditiously, married in london than in scotland."

"but why all this secrecy? why any fear of detection? why must their

marriage be private? oh, no, no--this is not likely. his most particular

friend, you see by jane's account, was persuaded of his never intending

to marry her. wickham will never marry a woman without some money. he

cannot afford it. and what claims has lydia--what attraction has she

beyond youth, health, and good humour that could make him, for her sake,

forego every chance of benefiting himself by marrying well? as to what

restraint the apprehensions of disgrace in the corps might throw on a

dishonourable elopement with her, i am not able to judge; for i know

nothing of the effects that such a step might produce. but as to your

other objection, i am afraid it will hardly hold good. lydia has

no brothers to step forward; and he might imagine, from my father's

behaviour, from his indolence and the little attention he has ever

seemed to give to what was going forward in his family, that _he_ would

do as little, and think as little about it, as any father could do, in

such a matter."

"but can you think that lydia is so lost to everything but love of him

as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage?"

"it does seem, and it is most shocking indeed," replied elizabeth, with

tears in her eyes, "that a sister's sense of decency and virtue in such

a point should admit of doubt. but, really, i know not what to say.

perhaps i am not doing her justice. but she is very young; she has never

been taught to think on serious subjects; and for the last half-year,

nay, for a twelvemonth--she has been given up to nothing but amusement

and vanity. she has been allowed to dispose of her time in the most idle

and frivolous manner, and to adopt any opinions that came in her way.

since the ----shire were first quartered in meryton, nothing but love,

flirtation, and officers have been in her head. she has been doing

everything in her power by thinking and talking on the subject, to give

greater--what shall i call it? susceptibility to her feelings; which are

naturally lively enough. and we all know that wickham has every charm of

person and address that can captivate a woman."

"but you see that jane," said her aunt, "does not think so very ill of

wickham as to believe him capable of the attempt."

"of whom does jane ever think ill? and who is there, whatever might be

their former conduct, that she would think capable of such an attempt,

till it were proved against them? but jane knows, as well as i do, what

wickham really is. we both know that he has been profligate in every

sense of the word; that he has neither integrity nor honour; that he is

as false and deceitful as he is insinuating."

"and do you really know all this?" cried mrs. gardiner, whose curiosity

as to the mode of her intelligence was all alive.

"i do indeed," replied elizabeth, colouring. "i told you, the other day,

of his infamous behaviour to mr. darcy; and you yourself, when last at

longbourn, heard in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved

with such forbearance and liberality towards him. and there are other

circumstances which i am not at liberty--which it is not worth while to

relate; but his lies about the whole pemberley family are endless. from

what he said of miss darcy i was thoroughly prepared to see a proud,

reserved, disagreeable girl. yet he knew to the contrary himself. he

must know that she was as amiable and unpretending as we have found

her."

"but does lydia know nothing of this? can she be ignorant of what you

and jane seem so well to understand?"

"oh, yes!--that, that is the worst of all. till i was in kent, and saw

so much both of mr. darcy and his relation colonel fitzwilliam, i was

ignorant of the truth myself. and when i returned home, the ----shire

was to leave meryton in a week or fortnight's time. as that was the

case, neither jane, to whom i related the whole, nor i, thought it

necessary to make our knowledge public; for of what use could

it apparently be to any one, that the good opinion which all the

neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown? and even when it was

settled that lydia should go with mrs. forster, the necessity of opening

her eyes to his character never occurred to me. that _she_ could be

in any danger from the deception never entered my head. that such a

consequence as _this_ could ensue, you may easily believe, was far

enough from my thoughts."

"when they all removed to brighton, therefore, you had no reason, i

suppose, to believe them fond of each other?"

"not the slightest. i can remember no symptom of affection on either

side; and had anything of the kind been perceptible, you must be aware

that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown away. when first

he entered the corps, she was ready enough to admire him; but so we all

were. every girl in or near meryton was out of her senses about him for

the first two months; but he never distinguished _her_ by any particular

attention; and, consequently, after a moderate period of extravagant and

wild admiration, her fancy for him gave way, and others of the regiment,

who treated her with more distinction, again became her favourites."

                          * * * * *

it may be easily believed, that however little of novelty could be added

to their fears, hopes, and conjectures, on this interesting subject, by

its repeated discussion, no other could detain them from it long, during

the whole of the journey. from elizabeth's thoughts it was never absent.

fixed there by the keenest of all anguish, self-reproach, she could find

no interval of ease or forgetfulness.

they travelled as expeditiously as possible, and, sleeping one night

on the road, reached longbourn by dinner time the next day. it was a

comfort to elizabeth to consider that jane could not have been wearied

by long expectations.

the little gardiners, attracted by the sight of a chaise, were standing

on the steps of the house as they entered the paddock; and, when the

carriage drove up to the door, the joyful surprise that lighted up their

faces, and displayed itself over their whole bodies, in a variety of

capers and frisks, was the first pleasing earnest of their welcome.

elizabeth jumped out; and, after giving each of them a hasty kiss,

hurried into the vestibule, where jane, who came running down from her

mother's apartment, immediately met her.

elizabeth, as she affectionately embraced her, whilst tears filled the

eyes of both, lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been

heard of the fugitives.

"not yet," replied jane. "but now that my dear uncle is come, i hope

everything will be well."

"is my father in town?"

"yes, he went on tuesday, as i wrote you word."

"and have you heard from him often?"

"we have heard only twice. he wrote me a few lines on wednesday to say

that he had arrived in safety, and to give me his directions, which i

particularly begged him to do. he merely added that he should not write

again till he had something of importance to mention."

"and my mother--how is she? how are you all?"

"my mother is tolerably well, i trust; though her spirits are greatly

shaken. she is up stairs and will have great satisfaction in seeing you

all. she does not yet leave her dressing-room. mary and kitty, thank

heaven, are quite well."

"but you--how are you?" cried elizabeth. "you look pale. how much you

must have gone through!"

her sister, however, assured her of her being perfectly well; and their

conversation, which had been passing while mr. and mrs. gardiner were

engaged with their children, was now put an end to by the approach

of the whole party. jane ran to her uncle and aunt, and welcomed and

thanked them both, with alternate smiles and tears.

when they were all in the drawing-room, the questions which elizabeth

had already asked were of course repeated by the others, and they soon

found that jane had no intelligence to give. the sanguine hope of

good, however, which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet

deserted her; she still expected that it would all end well, and that

every morning would bring some letter, either from lydia or her father,

to explain their proceedings, and, perhaps, announce their marriage.

mrs. bennet, to whose apartment they all repaired, after a few minutes'

conversation together, received them exactly as might be expected; with

tears and lamentations of regret, invectives against the villainous

conduct of wickham, and complaints of her own sufferings and ill-usage;

blaming everybody but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the

errors of her daughter must principally be owing.

"if i had been able," said she, "to carry my point in going to brighton,

with all my family, _this_ would not have happened; but poor dear lydia

had nobody to take care of her. why did the forsters ever let her go out

of their sight? i am sure there was some great neglect or other on their

side, for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been

well looked after. i always thought they were very unfit to have the

charge of her; but i was overruled, as i always am. poor dear child!

and now here's mr. bennet gone away, and i know he will fight wickham,

wherever he meets him and then he will be killed, and what is to become

of us all? the collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his

grave, and if you are not kind to us, brother, i do not know what we

shall do."

they all exclaimed against such terrific ideas; and mr. gardiner, after

general assurances of his affection for her and all her family, told her

that he meant to be in london the very next day, and would assist mr.

bennet in every endeavour for recovering lydia.

"do not give way to useless alarm," added he; "though it is right to be

prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain.

it is not quite a week since they left brighton. in a few days more we

may gain some news of them; and till we know that they are not married,

and have no design of marrying, do not let us give the matter over as

lost. as soon as i get to town i shall go to my brother, and make

him come home with me to gracechurch street; and then we may consult

together as to what is to be done."

"oh! my dear brother," replied mrs. bennet, "that is exactly what i

could most wish for. and now do, when you get to town, find them out,

wherever they may be; and if they are not married already, _make_ them

marry. and as for wedding clothes, do not let them wait for that, but

tell lydia she shall have as much money as she chooses to buy them,

after they are married. and, above all, keep mr. bennet from fighting.

tell him what a dreadful state i am in, that i am frighted out of my

wits--and have such tremblings, such flutterings, all over me--such

spasms in my side and pains in my head, and such beatings at heart, that

i can get no rest by night nor by day. and tell my dear lydia not to

give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me, for she does

not know which are the best warehouses. oh, brother, how kind you are! i

know you will contrive it all."

but mr. gardiner, though he assured her again of his earnest endeavours

in the cause, could not avoid recommending moderation to her, as well

in her hopes as her fear; and after talking with her in this manner till

dinner was on the table, they all left her to vent all her feelings on

the housekeeper, who attended in the absence of her daughters.

though her brother and sister were persuaded that there was no real

occasion for such a seclusion from the family, they did not attempt to

oppose it, for they knew that she had not prudence enough to hold her

tongue before the servants, while they waited at table, and judged it

better that _one_ only of the household, and the one whom they could

most trust should comprehend all her fears and solicitude on the

subject.

in the dining-room they were soon joined by mary and kitty, who had been

too busily engaged in their separate apartments to make their appearance

before. one came from her books, and the other from her toilette. the

faces of both, however, were tolerably calm; and no change was visible

in either, except that the loss of her favourite sister, or the anger

which she had herself incurred in this business, had given more of

fretfulness than usual to the accents of kitty. as for mary, she was

mistress enough of herself to whisper to elizabeth, with a countenance

of grave reflection, soon after they were seated at table:

"this is a most unfortunate affair, and will probably be much talked of.

but we must stem the tide of malice, and pour into the wounded bosoms of

each other the balm of sisterly consolation."

then, perceiving in elizabeth no inclination of replying, she added,

"unhappy as the event must be for lydia, we may draw from it this useful

lesson: that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable; that one

false step involves her in endless ruin; that her reputation is no less

brittle than it is beautiful; and that she cannot be too much guarded in

her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex."

elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement, but was too much oppressed

to make any reply. mary, however, continued to console herself with such

kind of moral extractions from the evil before them.

in the afternoon, the two elder miss bennets were able to be for

half-an-hour by themselves; and elizabeth instantly availed herself of

the opportunity of making any inquiries, which jane was equally eager to

satisfy. after joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel

of this event, which elizabeth considered as all but certain, and miss

bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible, the former continued

the subject, by saying, "but tell me all and everything about it which

i have not already heard. give me further particulars. what did colonel

forster say? had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement

took place? they must have seen them together for ever."

"colonel forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality,

especially on lydia's side, but nothing to give him any alarm. i am so

grieved for him! his behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost. he

_was_ coming to us, in order to assure us of his concern, before he had

any idea of their not being gone to scotland: when that apprehension

first got abroad, it hastened his journey."

"and was denny convinced that wickham would not marry? did he know of

their intending to go off? had colonel forster seen denny himself?"

"yes; but, when questioned by _him_, denny denied knowing anything of

their plans, and would not give his real opinion about it. he did not

repeat his persuasion of their not marrying--and from _that_, i am

inclined to hope, he might have been misunderstood before."

"and till colonel forster came himself, not one of you entertained a

doubt, i suppose, of their being really married?"

"how was it possible that such an idea should enter our brains? i felt

a little uneasy--a little fearful of my sister's happiness with him

in marriage, because i knew that his conduct had not been always quite

right. my father and mother knew nothing of that; they only felt how

imprudent a match it must be. kitty then owned, with a very natural

triumph on knowing more than the rest of us, that in lydia's last letter

she had prepared her for such a step. she had known, it seems, of their

being in love with each other, many weeks."

"but not before they went to brighton?"

"no, i believe not."

"and did colonel forster appear to think well of wickham himself? does

he know his real character?"

"i must confess that he did not speak so well of wickham as he formerly

did. he believed him to be imprudent and extravagant. and since this sad

affair has taken place, it is said that he left meryton greatly in debt;

but i hope this may be false."

"oh, jane, had we been less secret, had we told what we knew of him,

this could not have happened!"

"perhaps it would have been better," replied her sister. "but to expose

the former faults of any person without knowing what their present

feelings were, seemed unjustifiable. we acted with the best intentions."

"could colonel forster repeat the particulars of lydia's note to his

wife?"

"he brought it with him for us to see."

jane then took it from her pocket-book, and gave it to elizabeth. these

were the contents:

"my dear harriet,

"you will laugh when you know where i am gone, and i cannot help

laughing myself at your surprise to-morrow morning, as soon as i am

missed. i am going to gretna green, and if you cannot guess with who,

i shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world i

love, and he is an angel. i should never be happy without him, so think

it no harm to be off. you need not send them word at longbourn of my

going, if you do not like it, for it will make the surprise the greater,

when i write to them and sign my name 'lydia wickham.' what a good joke

it will be! i can hardly write for laughing. pray make my excuses to

pratt for not keeping my engagement, and dancing with him to-night.

tell him i hope he will excuse me when he knows all; and tell him i will

dance with him at the next ball we meet, with great pleasure. i shall

send for my clothes when i get to longbourn; but i wish you would tell

sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are

packed up. good-bye. give my love to colonel forster. i hope you will

drink to our good journey.

"your affectionate friend,

"lydia bennet."

"oh! thoughtless, thoughtless lydia!" cried elizabeth when she had

finished it. "what a letter is this, to be written at such a moment!

but at least it shows that _she_ was serious on the subject of their

journey. whatever he might afterwards persuade her to, it was not on her

side a _scheme_ of infamy. my poor father! how he must have felt it!"

"i never saw anyone so shocked. he could not speak a word for full ten

minutes. my mother was taken ill immediately, and the whole house in

such confusion!"

"oh! jane," cried elizabeth, "was there a servant belonging to it who

did not know the whole story before the end of the day?"

"i do not know. i hope there was. but to be guarded at such a time is

very difficult. my mother was in hysterics, and though i endeavoured to

give her every assistance in my power, i am afraid i did not do so

much as i might have done! but the horror of what might possibly happen

almost took from me my faculties."

"your attendance upon her has been too much for you. you do not look

well. oh that i had been with you! you have had every care and anxiety

upon yourself alone."

"mary and kitty have been very kind, and would have shared in every

fatigue, i am sure; but i did not think it right for either of them.

kitty is slight and delicate; and mary studies so much, that her hours

of repose should not be broken in on. my aunt phillips came to longbourn

on tuesday, after my father went away; and was so good as to stay till

thursday with me. she was of great use and comfort to us all. and

lady lucas has been very kind; she walked here on wednesday morning to

condole with us, and offered her services, or any of her daughters', if

they should be of use to us."

"she had better have stayed at home," cried elizabeth; "perhaps she

_meant_ well, but, under such a misfortune as this, one cannot see

too little of one's neighbours. assistance is impossible; condolence

insufferable. let them triumph over us at a distance, and be satisfied."

she then proceeded to inquire into the measures which her father had

intended to pursue, while in town, for the recovery of his daughter.

"he meant i believe," replied jane, "to go to epsom, the place where

they last changed horses, see the postilions and try if anything could

be made out from them. his principal object must be to discover the

number of the hackney coach which took them from clapham. it had come

with a fare from london; and as he thought that the circumstance of a

gentleman and lady's removing from one carriage into another might

be remarked he meant to make inquiries at clapham. if he could anyhow

discover at what house the coachman had before set down his fare, he

determined to make inquiries there, and hoped it might not be impossible

to find out the stand and number of the coach. i do not know of any

other designs that he had formed; but he was in such a hurry to be gone,

and his spirits so greatly discomposed, that i had difficulty in finding

out even so much as this."

chapter 48

the whole party were in hopes of a letter from mr. bennet the next

morning, but the post came in without bringing a single line from him.

his family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and

dilatory correspondent; but at such a time they had hoped for exertion.

they were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to

send; but even of _that_ they would have been glad to be certain. mr.

gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off.

when he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving constant

information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting,

to prevail on mr. bennet to return to longbourn, as soon as he could,

to the great consolation of his sister, who considered it as the only

security for her husband's not being killed in a duel.

mrs. gardiner and the children were to remain in hertfordshire a few

days longer, as the former thought her presence might be serviceable

to her nieces. she shared in their attendance on mrs. bennet, and was a

great comfort to them in their hours of freedom. their other aunt also

visited them frequently, and always, as she said, with the design of

cheering and heartening them up--though, as she never came without

reporting some fresh instance of wickham's extravagance or irregularity,

she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found

them.

all meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who, but three months

before, had been almost an angel of light. he was declared to be in debt

to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with

the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman's family.

everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world;

and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the

appearance of his goodness. elizabeth, though she did not credit above

half of what was said, believed enough to make her former assurance of

her sister's ruin more certain; and even jane, who believed still less

of it, became almost hopeless, more especially as the time was now come

when, if they had gone to scotland, which she had never before entirely

despaired of, they must in all probability have gained some news of

them.

mr. gardiner left longbourn on sunday; on tuesday his wife received a

letter from him; it told them that, on his arrival, he had immediately

found out his brother, and persuaded him to come to gracechurch street;

that mr. bennet had been to epsom and clapham, before his arrival,

but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now

determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as mr. bennet

thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first

coming to london, before they procured lodgings. mr. gardiner himself

did not expect any success from this measure, but as his brother was

eager in it, he meant to assist him in pursuing it. he added that mr.

bennet seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave london and promised

to write again very soon. there was also a postscript to this effect:

"i have written to colonel forster to desire him to find out, if

possible, from some of the young man's intimates in the regiment,

whether wickham has any relations or connections who would be likely to

know in what part of town he has now concealed himself. if there were

anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a

clue as that, it might be of essential consequence. at present we have

nothing to guide us. colonel forster will, i dare say, do everything in

his power to satisfy us on this head. but, on second thoughts, perhaps,

lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living, better than any

other person."

elizabeth was at no loss to understand from whence this deference to her

authority proceeded; but it was not in her power to give any information

of so satisfactory a nature as the compliment deserved. she had never

heard of his having had any relations, except a father and mother, both

of whom had been dead many years. it was possible, however, that some of

his companions in the ----shire might be able to give more information;

and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it, the application

was a something to look forward to.

every day at longbourn was now a day of anxiety; but the most anxious

part of each was when the post was expected. the arrival of letters

was the grand object of every morning's impatience. through letters,

whatever of good or bad was to be told would be communicated, and every

succeeding day was expected to bring some news of importance.

but before they heard again from mr. gardiner, a letter arrived for

their father, from a different quarter, from mr. collins; which, as jane

had received directions to open all that came for him in his absence,

she accordingly read; and elizabeth, who knew what curiosities his

letters always were, looked over her, and read it likewise. it was as

follows:

"my dear sir,

"i feel myself called upon, by our relationship, and my situation

in life, to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now

suffering under, of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from

hertfordshire. be assured, my dear sir, that mrs. collins and myself

sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family, in

your present distress, which must be of the bitterest kind, because

proceeding from a cause which no time can remove. no arguments shall be

wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortune--or that

may comfort you, under a circumstance that must be of all others the

most afflicting to a parent's mind. the death of your daughter would

have been a blessing in comparison of this. and it is the more to

be lamented, because there is reason to suppose as my dear charlotte

informs me, that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter has

proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence; though, at the same time,

for the consolation of yourself and mrs. bennet, i am inclined to think

that her own disposition must be naturally bad, or she could not be

guilty of such an enormity, at so early an age. howsoever that may be,

you are grievously to be pitied; in which opinion i am not only joined

by mrs. collins, but likewise by lady catherine and her daughter, to

whom i have related the affair. they agree with me in apprehending that

this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of

all the others; for who, as lady catherine herself condescendingly says,

will connect themselves with such a family? and this consideration leads

me moreover to reflect, with augmented satisfaction, on a certain event

of last november; for had it been otherwise, i must have been involved

in all your sorrow and disgrace. let me then advise you, dear sir, to

console yourself as much as possible, to throw off your unworthy child

from your affection for ever, and leave her to reap the fruits of her

own heinous offense.

"i am, dear sir, etc., etc."

mr. gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from

colonel forster; and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send.

it was not known that wickham had a single relationship with whom he

kept up any connection, and it was certain that he had no near one

living. his former acquaintances had been numerous; but since he

had been in the militia, it did not appear that he was on terms of

particular friendship with any of them. there was no one, therefore,

who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him. and in the

wretched state of his own finances, there was a very powerful motive for

secrecy, in addition to his fear of discovery by lydia's relations, for

it had just transpired that he had left gaming debts behind him to a

very considerable amount. colonel forster believed that more than a

thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expenses at brighton.

he owed a good deal in town, but his debts of honour were still more

formidable. mr. gardiner did not attempt to conceal these particulars

from the longbourn family. jane heard them with horror. "a gamester!"

she cried. "this is wholly unexpected. i had not an idea of it."

mr. gardiner added in his letter, that they might expect to see their

father at home on the following day, which was saturday. rendered

spiritless by the ill-success of all their endeavours, he had yielded

to his brother-in-law's entreaty that he would return to his family, and

leave it to him to do whatever occasion might suggest to be advisable

for continuing their pursuit. when mrs. bennet was told of this, she did

not express so much satisfaction as her children expected, considering

what her anxiety for his life had been before.

"what, is he coming home, and without poor lydia?" she cried. "sure he

will not leave london before he has found them. who is to fight wickham,

and make him marry her, if he comes away?"

as mrs. gardiner began to wish to be at home, it was settled that she

and the children should go to london, at the same time that mr. bennet

came from it. the coach, therefore, took them the first stage of their

journey, and brought its master back to longbourn.

mrs. gardiner went away in all the perplexity about elizabeth and her

derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world. his

name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece; and

the kind of half-expectation which mrs. gardiner had formed, of their

being followed by a letter from him, had ended in nothing. elizabeth had

received none since her return that could come from pemberley.

the present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for

the lowness of her spirits unnecessary; nothing, therefore, could be

fairly conjectured from _that_, though elizabeth, who was by this time

tolerably well acquainted with her own feelings, was perfectly aware

that, had she known nothing of darcy, she could have borne the dread of

lydia's infamy somewhat better. it would have spared her, she thought,

one sleepless night out of two.

when mr. bennet arrived, he had all the appearance of his usual

philosophic composure. he said as little as he had ever been in the

habit of saying; made no mention of the business that had taken him

away, and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of

it.

it was not till the afternoon, when he had joined them at tea, that

elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject; and then, on her briefly

expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured, he replied, "say

nothing of that. who should suffer but myself? it has been my own doing,

and i ought to feel it."

"you must not be too severe upon yourself," replied elizabeth.

"you may well warn me against such an evil. human nature is so prone

to fall into it! no, lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much i have

been to blame. i am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression.

it will pass away soon enough."

"do you suppose them to be in london?"

"yes; where else can they be so well concealed?"

"and lydia used to want to go to london," added kitty.

"she is happy then," said her father drily; "and her residence there

will probably be of some duration."

then after a short silence he continued:

"lizzy, i bear you no ill-will for being justified in your advice to me

last may, which, considering the event, shows some greatness of mind."

they were interrupted by miss bennet, who came to fetch her mother's

tea.

"this is a parade," he cried, "which does one good; it gives such an

elegance to misfortune! another day i will do the same; i will sit in my

library, in my nightcap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as

i can; or, perhaps, i may defer it till kitty runs away."

"i am not going to run away, papa," said kitty fretfully. "if i should

ever go to brighton, i would behave better than lydia."

"_you_ go to brighton. i would not trust you so near it as eastbourne

for fifty pounds! no, kitty, i have at last learnt to be cautious, and

you will feel the effects of it. no officer is ever to enter into

my house again, nor even to pass through the village. balls will be

absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters.

and you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have

spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner."

kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.

"well, well," said he, "do not make yourself unhappy. if you are a good

girl for the next ten years, i will take you to a review at the end of

them."

chapter 49

two days after mr. bennet's return, as jane and elizabeth were walking

together in the shrubbery behind the house, they saw the housekeeper

coming towards them, and, concluding that she came to call them to their

mother, went forward to meet her; but, instead of the expected summons,

when they approached her, she said to miss bennet, "i beg your pardon,

madam, for interrupting you, but i was in hopes you might have got some

good news from town, so i took the liberty of coming to ask."

"what do you mean, hill? we have heard nothing from town."

"dear madam," cried mrs. hill, in great astonishment, "don't you know

there is an express come for master from mr. gardiner? he has been here

this half-hour, and master has had a letter."

away ran the girls, too eager to get in to have time for speech. they

ran through the vestibule into the breakfast-room; from thence to the

library; their father was in neither; and they were on the point of

seeking him up stairs with their mother, when they were met by the

butler, who said:

"if you are looking for my master, ma'am, he is walking towards the

little copse."

upon this information, they instantly passed through the hall once

more, and ran across the lawn after their father, who was deliberately

pursuing his way towards a small wood on one side of the paddock.

jane, who was not so light nor so much in the habit of running as

elizabeth, soon lagged behind, while her sister, panting for breath,

came up with him, and eagerly cried out:

"oh, papa, what news--what news? have you heard from my uncle?"

"yes i have had a letter from him by express."

"well, and what news does it bring--good or bad?"

"what is there of good to be expected?" said he, taking the letter from

his pocket. "but perhaps you would like to read it."

elizabeth impatiently caught it from his hand. jane now came up.

"read it aloud," said their father, "for i hardly know myself what it is

about."

"gracechurch street, monday, august 2.

"my dear brother,

"at last i am able to send you some tidings of my niece, and such as,

upon the whole, i hope it will give you satisfaction. soon after you

left me on saturday, i was fortunate enough to find out in what part of

london they were. the particulars i reserve till we meet; it is enough

to know they are discovered. i have seen them both--"

"then it is as i always hoped," cried jane; "they are married!"

elizabeth read on:

"i have seen them both. they are not married, nor can i find there

was any intention of being so; but if you are willing to perform the

engagements which i have ventured to make on your side, i hope it will

not be long before they are. all that is required of you is, to assure

to your daughter, by settlement, her equal share of the five thousand

pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and

my sister; and, moreover, to enter into an engagement of allowing her,

during your life, one hundred pounds per annum. these are conditions

which, considering everything, i had no hesitation in complying with,

as far as i thought myself privileged, for you. i shall send this by

express, that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer. you

will easily comprehend, from these particulars, that mr. wickham's

circumstances are not so hopeless as they are generally believed to be.

the world has been deceived in that respect; and i am happy to say there

will be some little money, even when all his debts are discharged, to

settle on my niece, in addition to her own fortune. if, as i conclude

will be the case, you send me full powers to act in your name throughout

the whole of this business, i will immediately give directions to

haggerston for preparing a proper settlement. there will not be the

smallest occasion for your coming to town again; therefore stay quiet at

longbourn, and depend on my diligence and care. send back your answer as

fast as you can, and be careful to write explicitly. we have judged it

best that my niece should be married from this house, of which i hope

you will approve. she comes to us to-day. i shall write again as soon as

anything more is determined on. yours, etc.,

"edw. gardiner."

"is it possible?" cried elizabeth, when she had finished. "can it be

possible that he will marry her?"

"wickham is not so undeserving, then, as we thought him," said her

sister. "my dear father, i congratulate you."

"and have you answered the letter?" cried elizabeth.

"no; but it must be done soon."

most earnestly did she then entreat him to lose no more time before he

wrote.

"oh! my dear father," she cried, "come back and write immediately.

consider how important every moment is in such a case."

"let me write for you," said jane, "if you dislike the trouble

yourself."

"i dislike it very much," he replied; "but it must be done."

and so saying, he turned back with them, and walked towards the house.

"and may i ask--" said elizabeth; "but the terms, i suppose, must be

complied with."

"complied with! i am only ashamed of his asking so little."

"and they _must_ marry! yet he is _such_ a man!"

"yes, yes, they must marry. there is nothing else to be done. but there

are two things that i want very much to know; one is, how much money

your uncle has laid down to bring it about; and the other, how am i ever

to pay him."

"money! my uncle!" cried jane, "what do you mean, sir?"

"i mean, that no man in his senses would marry lydia on so slight a

temptation as one hundred a year during my life, and fifty after i am

gone."

"that is very true," said elizabeth; "though it had not occurred to me

before. his debts to be discharged, and something still to remain! oh!

it must be my uncle's doings! generous, good man, i am afraid he has

distressed himself. a small sum could not do all this."

"no," said her father; "wickham's a fool if he takes her with a farthing

less than ten thousand pounds. i should be sorry to think so ill of him,

in the very beginning of our relationship."

"ten thousand pounds! heaven forbid! how is half such a sum to be

repaid?"

mr. bennet made no answer, and each of them, deep in thought, continued

silent till they reached the house. their father then went on to the

library to write, and the girls walked into the breakfast-room.

"and they are really to be married!" cried elizabeth, as soon as they

were by themselves. "how strange this is! and for _this_ we are to be

thankful. that they should marry, small as is their chance of happiness,

and wretched as is his character, we are forced to rejoice. oh, lydia!"

"i comfort myself with thinking," replied jane, "that he certainly would

not marry lydia if he had not a real regard for her. though our kind

uncle has done something towards clearing him, i cannot believe that ten

thousand pounds, or anything like it, has been advanced. he has children

of his own, and may have more. how could he spare half ten thousand

pounds?"

"if he were ever able to learn what wickham's debts have been," said

elizabeth, "and how much is settled on his side on our sister, we shall

exactly know what mr. gardiner has done for them, because wickham has

not sixpence of his own. the kindness of my uncle and aunt can never

be requited. their taking her home, and affording her their personal

protection and countenance, is such a sacrifice to her advantage as

years of gratitude cannot enough acknowledge. by this time she is

actually with them! if such goodness does not make her miserable now,

she will never deserve to be happy! what a meeting for her, when she

first sees my aunt!"

"we must endeavour to forget all that has passed on either side," said

jane: "i hope and trust they will yet be happy. his consenting to

marry her is a proof, i will believe, that he is come to a right way of

thinking. their mutual affection will steady them; and i flatter myself

they will settle so quietly, and live in so rational a manner, as may in

time make their past imprudence forgotten."

"their conduct has been such," replied elizabeth, "as neither you, nor

i, nor anybody can ever forget. it is useless to talk of it."

it now occurred to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood

perfectly ignorant of what had happened. they went to the library,

therefore, and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make

it known to her. he was writing and, without raising his head, coolly

replied:

"just as you please."

"may we take my uncle's letter to read to her?"

"take whatever you like, and get away."

elizabeth took the letter from his writing-table, and they went up stairs

together. mary and kitty were both with mrs. bennet: one communication

would, therefore, do for all. after a slight preparation for good news,

the letter was read aloud. mrs. bennet could hardly contain herself. as

soon as jane had read mr. gardiner's hope of lydia's being soon

married, her joy burst forth, and every following sentence added to its

exuberance. she was now in an irritation as violent from delight, as she

had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation. to know that her daughter

would be married was enough. she was disturbed by no fear for her

felicity, nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct.

"my dear, dear lydia!" she cried. "this is delightful indeed! she will

be married! i shall see her again! she will be married at sixteen!

my good, kind brother! i knew how it would be. i knew he would manage

everything! how i long to see her! and to see dear wickham too! but the

clothes, the wedding clothes! i will write to my sister gardiner about

them directly. lizzy, my dear, run down to your father, and ask him

how much he will give her. stay, stay, i will go myself. ring the bell,

kitty, for hill. i will put on my things in a moment. my dear, dear

lydia! how merry we shall be together when we meet!"

her eldest daughter endeavoured to give some relief to the violence of

these transports, by leading her thoughts to the obligations which mr.

gardiner's behaviour laid them all under.

"for we must attribute this happy conclusion," she added, "in a great

measure to his kindness. we are persuaded that he has pledged himself to

assist mr. wickham with money."

"well," cried her mother, "it is all very right; who should do it but

her own uncle? if he had not had a family of his own, i and my children

must have had all his money, you know; and it is the first time we have

ever had anything from him, except a few presents. well! i am so happy!

in a short time i shall have a daughter married. mrs. wickham! how well

it sounds! and she was only sixteen last june. my dear jane, i am in

such a flutter, that i am sure i can't write; so i will dictate, and

you write for me. we will settle with your father about the money

afterwards; but the things should be ordered immediately."

she was then proceeding to all the particulars of calico, muslin, and

cambric, and would shortly have dictated some very plentiful orders, had

not jane, though with some difficulty, persuaded her to wait till her

father was at leisure to be consulted. one day's delay, she observed,

would be of small importance; and her mother was too happy to be quite

so obstinate as usual. other schemes, too, came into her head.

"i will go to meryton," said she, "as soon as i am dressed, and tell the

good, good news to my sister philips. and as i come back, i can call

on lady lucas and mrs. long. kitty, run down and order the carriage.

an airing would do me a great deal of good, i am sure. girls, can i do

anything for you in meryton? oh! here comes hill! my dear hill, have you

heard the good news? miss lydia is going to be married; and you shall

all have a bowl of punch to make merry at her wedding."

mrs. hill began instantly to express her joy. elizabeth received her

congratulations amongst the rest, and then, sick of this folly, took

refuge in her own room, that she might think with freedom.

poor lydia's situation must, at best, be bad enough; but that it was

no worse, she had need to be thankful. she felt it so; and though, in

looking forward, neither rational happiness nor worldly prosperity could

be justly expected for her sister, in looking back to what they had

feared, only two hours ago, she felt all the advantages of what they had

gained.

chapter 50

mr. bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that,

instead of spending his whole income, he had laid by an annual sum for

the better provision of his children, and of his wife, if she survived

him. he now wished it more than ever. had he done his duty in that

respect, lydia need not have been indebted to her uncle for whatever

of honour or credit could now be purchased for her. the satisfaction of

prevailing on one of the most worthless young men in great britain to be

her husband might then have rested in its proper place.

he was seriously concerned that a cause of so little advantage to anyone

should be forwarded at the sole expense of his brother-in-law, and he

was determined, if possible, to find out the extent of his assistance,

and to discharge the obligation as soon as he could.

when first mr. bennet had married, economy was held to be perfectly

useless, for, of course, they were to have a son. the son was to join

in cutting off the entail, as soon as he should be of age, and the widow

and younger children would by that means be provided for. five daughters

successively entered the world, but yet the son was to come; and mrs.

bennet, for many years after lydia's birth, had been certain that he

would. this event had at last been despaired of, but it was then

too late to be saving. mrs. bennet had no turn for economy, and her

husband's love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their

income.

five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on mrs. bennet and

the children. but in what proportions it should be divided amongst the

latter depended on the will of the parents. this was one point, with

regard to lydia, at least, which was now to be settled, and mr. bennet

could have no hesitation in acceding to the proposal before him. in

terms of grateful acknowledgment for the kindness of his brother,

though expressed most concisely, he then delivered on paper his perfect

approbation of all that was done, and his willingness to fulfil the

engagements that had been made for him. he had never before supposed

that, could wickham be prevailed on to marry his daughter, it would

be done with so little inconvenience to himself as by the present

arrangement. he would scarcely be ten pounds a year the loser by the

hundred that was to be paid them; for, what with her board and pocket

allowance, and the continual presents in money which passed to her

through her mother's hands, lydia's expenses had been very little within

that sum.

that it would be done with such trifling exertion on his side, too, was

another very welcome surprise; for his wish at present was to have as

little trouble in the business as possible. when the first transports

of rage which had produced his activity in seeking her were over, he

naturally returned to all his former indolence. his letter was soon

dispatched; for, though dilatory in undertaking business, he was quick

in its execution. he begged to know further particulars of what he

was indebted to his brother, but was too angry with lydia to send any

message to her.

the good news spread quickly through the house, and with proportionate

speed through the neighbourhood. it was borne in the latter with decent

philosophy. to be sure, it would have been more for the advantage

of conversation had miss lydia bennet come upon the town; or, as the

happiest alternative, been secluded from the world, in some distant

farmhouse. but there was much to be talked of in marrying her; and the

good-natured wishes for her well-doing which had proceeded before from

all the spiteful old ladies in meryton lost but a little of their spirit

in this change of circumstances, because with such an husband her misery

was considered certain.

it was a fortnight since mrs. bennet had been downstairs; but on this

happy day she again took her seat at the head of her table, and in

spirits oppressively high. no sentiment of shame gave a damp to her

triumph. the marriage of a daughter, which had been the first object

of her wishes since jane was sixteen, was now on the point of

accomplishment, and her thoughts and her words ran wholly on those

attendants of elegant nuptials, fine muslins, new carriages, and

servants. she was busily searching through the neighbourhood for a

proper situation for her daughter, and, without knowing or considering

what their income might be, rejected many as deficient in size and

importance.

"haye park might do," said she, "if the gouldings could quit it--or the

great house at stoke, if the drawing-room were larger; but ashworth is

too far off! i could not bear to have her ten miles from me; and as for

pulvis lodge, the attics are dreadful."

her husband allowed her to talk on without interruption while the

servants remained. but when they had withdrawn, he said to her: "mrs.

bennet, before you take any or all of these houses for your son and

daughter, let us come to a right understanding. into _one_ house in this

neighbourhood they shall never have admittance. i will not encourage the

impudence of either, by receiving them at longbourn."

a long dispute followed this declaration; but mr. bennet was firm. it

soon led to another; and mrs. bennet found, with amazement and horror,

that her husband would not advance a guinea to buy clothes for his

daughter. he protested that she should receive from him no mark of

affection whatever on the occasion. mrs. bennet could hardly comprehend

it. that his anger could be carried to such a point of inconceivable

resentment as to refuse his daughter a privilege without which her

marriage would scarcely seem valid, exceeded all she could believe

possible. she was more alive to the disgrace which her want of new

clothes must reflect on her daughter's nuptials, than to any sense of

shame at her eloping and living with wickham a fortnight before they

took place.

elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had, from the distress of

the moment, been led to make mr. darcy acquainted with their fears for

her sister; for since her marriage would so shortly give the

proper termination to the elopement, they might hope to conceal its

unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the

spot.

she had no fear of its spreading farther through his means. there were

few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended;

but, at the same time, there was no one whose knowledge of a sister's

frailty would have mortified her so much--not, however, from any fear

of disadvantage from it individually to herself, for, at any rate,

there seemed a gulf impassable between them. had lydia's marriage been

concluded on the most honourable terms, it was not to be supposed that

mr. darcy would connect himself with a family where, to every other

objection, would now be added an alliance and relationship of the

nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned.

from such a connection she could not wonder that he would shrink. the

wish of procuring her regard, which she had assured herself of his

feeling in derbyshire, could not in rational expectation survive such a

blow as this. she was humbled, she was grieved; she repented, though she

hardly knew of what. she became jealous of his esteem, when she could no

longer hope to be benefited by it. she wanted to hear of him, when there

seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence. she was convinced that

she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they

should meet.

what a triumph for him, as she often thought, could he know that the

proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago, would now

have been most gladly and gratefully received! he was as generous, she

doubted not, as the most generous of his sex; but while he was mortal,

there must be a triumph.

she began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in

disposition and talents, would most suit her. his understanding and

temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. it

was an union that must have been to the advantage of both; by her ease

and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved;

and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she

must have received benefit of greater importance.

but no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what

connubial felicity really was. an union of a different tendency, and

precluding the possibility of the other, was soon to be formed in their

family.

how wickham and lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence,

she could not imagine. but how little of permanent happiness could

belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions

were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture.

                          * * * * *

mr. gardiner soon wrote again to his brother. to mr. bennet's

acknowledgments he briefly replied, with assurance of his eagerness to

promote the welfare of any of his family; and concluded with entreaties

that the subject might never be mentioned to him again. the principal

purport of his letter was to inform them that mr. wickham had resolved

on quitting the militia.

"it was greatly my wish that he should do so," he added, "as soon as

his marriage was fixed on. and i think you will agree with me, in

considering the removal from that corps as highly advisable, both on

his account and my niece's. it is mr. wickham's intention to go into

the regulars; and among his former friends, there are still some who

are able and willing to assist him in the army. he has the promise of an

ensigncy in general ----'s regiment, now quartered in the north. it

is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom. he

promises fairly; and i hope among different people, where they may each

have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent. i have

written to colonel forster, to inform him of our present arrangements,

and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of mr. wickham

in and near brighton, with assurances of speedy payment, for which i

have pledged myself. and will you give yourself the trouble of carrying

similar assurances to his creditors in meryton, of whom i shall subjoin

a list according to his information? he has given in all his debts; i

hope at least he has not deceived us. haggerston has our directions,

and all will be completed in a week. they will then join his regiment,

unless they are first invited to longbourn; and i understand from mrs.

gardiner, that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she

leaves the south. she is well, and begs to be dutifully remembered to

you and her mother.--yours, etc.,

"e. gardiner."

mr. bennet and his daughters saw all the advantages of wickham's removal

from the ----shire as clearly as mr. gardiner could do. but mrs. bennet

was not so well pleased with it. lydia's being settled in the north,

just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in her company,

for she had by no means given up her plan of their residing in

hertfordshire, was a severe disappointment; and, besides, it was such a

pity that lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted

with everybody, and had so many favourites.

"she is so fond of mrs. forster," said she, "it will be quite shocking

to send her away! and there are several of the young men, too, that she

likes very much. the officers may not be so pleasant in general ----'s

regiment."

his daughter's request, for such it might be considered, of being

admitted into her family again before she set off for the north,

received at first an absolute negative. but jane and elizabeth,

who agreed in wishing, for the sake of their sister's feelings and

consequence, that she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents,

urged him so earnestly yet so rationally and so mildly, to receive her

and her husband at longbourn, as soon as they were married, that he was

prevailed on to think as they thought, and act as they wished. and their

mother had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show

her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished to the

north. when mr. bennet wrote again to his brother, therefore, he sent

his permission for them to come; and it was settled, that as soon as

the ceremony was over, they should proceed to longbourn. elizabeth was

surprised, however, that wickham should consent to such a scheme, and

had she consulted only her own inclination, any meeting with him would

have been the last object of her wishes.

chapter 51

their sister's wedding day arrived; and jane and elizabeth felt for her

probably more than she felt for herself. the carriage was sent to

meet them at ----, and they were to return in it by dinner-time. their

arrival was dreaded by the elder miss bennets, and jane more especially,

who gave lydia the feelings which would have attended herself, had she

been the culprit, and was wretched in the thought of what her sister

must endure.

they came. the family were assembled in the breakfast room to receive

them. smiles decked the face of mrs. bennet as the carriage drove up to

the door; her husband looked impenetrably grave; her daughters, alarmed,

anxious, uneasy.

lydia's voice was heard in the vestibule; the door was thrown open, and

she ran into the room. her mother stepped forwards, embraced her, and

welcomed her with rapture; gave her hand, with an affectionate smile,

to wickham, who followed his lady; and wished them both joy with an

alacrity which shewed no doubt of their happiness.

their reception from mr. bennet, to whom they then turned, was not quite

so cordial. his countenance rather gained in austerity; and he scarcely

opened his lips. the easy assurance of the young couple, indeed, was

enough to provoke him. elizabeth was disgusted, and even miss bennet

was shocked. lydia was lydia still; untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy,

and fearless. she turned from sister to sister, demanding their

congratulations; and when at length they all sat down, looked eagerly

round the room, took notice of some little alteration in it, and

observed, with a laugh, that it was a great while since she had been

there.

wickham was not at all more distressed than herself, but his manners

were always so pleasing, that had his character and his marriage been

exactly what they ought, his smiles and his easy address, while he

claimed their relationship, would have delighted them all. elizabeth had

not before believed him quite equal to such assurance; but she sat down,

resolving within herself to draw no limits in future to the impudence

of an impudent man. she blushed, and jane blushed; but the cheeks of the

two who caused their confusion suffered no variation of colour.

there was no want of discourse. the bride and her mother could neither

of them talk fast enough; and wickham, who happened to sit near

elizabeth, began inquiring after his acquaintance in that neighbourhood,

with a good humoured ease which she felt very unable to equal in her

replies. they seemed each of them to have the happiest memories in the

world. nothing of the past was recollected with pain; and lydia led

voluntarily to subjects which her sisters would not have alluded to for

the world.

"only think of its being three months," she cried, "since i went away;

it seems but a fortnight i declare; and yet there have been things

enough happened in the time. good gracious! when i went away, i am sure

i had no more idea of being married till i came back again! though i

thought it would be very good fun if i was."

her father lifted up his eyes. jane was distressed. elizabeth looked

expressively at lydia; but she, who never heard nor saw anything of

which she chose to be insensible, gaily continued, "oh! mamma, do the

people hereabouts know i am married to-day? i was afraid they might not;

and we overtook william goulding in his curricle, so i was determined he

should know it, and so i let down the side-glass next to him, and took

off my glove, and let my hand just rest upon the window frame, so that

he might see the ring, and then i bowed and smiled like anything."

elizabeth could bear it no longer. she got up, and ran out of the room;

and returned no more, till she heard them passing through the hall to

the dining parlour. she then joined them soon enough to see lydia, with

anxious parade, walk up to her mother's right hand, and hear her say

to her eldest sister, "ah! jane, i take your place now, and you must go

lower, because i am a married woman."

it was not to be supposed that time would give lydia that embarrassment

from which she had been so wholly free at first. her ease and good

spirits increased. she longed to see mrs. phillips, the lucases, and

all their other neighbours, and to hear herself called "mrs. wickham"

by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner to show her

ring, and boast of being married, to mrs. hill and the two housemaids.

"well, mamma," said she, when they were all returned to the breakfast

room, "and what do you think of my husband? is not he a charming man? i

am sure my sisters must all envy me. i only hope they may have half

my good luck. they must all go to brighton. that is the place to get

husbands. what a pity it is, mamma, we did not all go."

"very true; and if i had my will, we should. but my dear lydia, i don't

at all like your going such a way off. must it be so?"

"oh, lord! yes;--there is nothing in that. i shall like it of all

things. you and papa, and my sisters, must come down and see us. we

shall be at newcastle all the winter, and i dare say there will be some

balls, and i will take care to get good partners for them all."

"i should like it beyond anything!" said her mother.

"and then when you go away, you may leave one or two of my sisters

behind you; and i dare say i shall get husbands for them before the

winter is over."

"i thank you for my share of the favour," said elizabeth; "but i do not

particularly like your way of getting husbands."

their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them. mr. wickham

had received his commission before he left london, and he was to join

his regiment at the end of a fortnight.

no one but mrs. bennet regretted that their stay would be so short; and

she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter, and

having very frequent parties at home. these parties were acceptable to

all; to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did

think, than such as did not.

wickham's affection for lydia was just what elizabeth had expected

to find it; not equal to lydia's for him. she had scarcely needed her

present observation to be satisfied, from the reason of things, that

their elopement had been brought on by the strength of her love, rather

than by his; and she would have wondered why, without violently caring

for her, he chose to elope with her at all, had she not felt certain

that his flight was rendered necessary by distress of circumstances; and

if that were the case, he was not the young man to resist an opportunity

of having a companion.

lydia was exceedingly fond of him. he was her dear wickham on every

occasion; no one was to be put in competition with him. he did every

thing best in the world; and she was sure he would kill more birds on

the first of september, than any body else in the country.

one morning, soon after their arrival, as she was sitting with her two

elder sisters, she said to elizabeth:

"lizzy, i never gave _you_ an account of my wedding, i believe. you

were not by, when i told mamma and the others all about it. are not you

curious to hear how it was managed?"

"no really," replied elizabeth; "i think there cannot be too little said

on the subject."

"la! you are so strange! but i must tell you how it went off. we were

married, you know, at st. clement's, because wickham's lodgings were in

that parish. and it was settled that we should all be there by eleven

o'clock. my uncle and aunt and i were to go together; and the others

were to meet us at the church. well, monday morning came, and i was in

such a fuss! i was so afraid, you know, that something would happen to

put it off, and then i should have gone quite distracted. and there was

my aunt, all the time i was dressing, preaching and talking away just as

if she was reading a sermon. however, i did not hear above one word in

ten, for i was thinking, you may suppose, of my dear wickham. i longed

to know whether he would be married in his blue coat."

"well, and so we breakfasted at ten as usual; i thought it would never

be over; for, by the bye, you are to understand, that my uncle and aunt

were horrid unpleasant all the time i was with them. if you'll believe

me, i did not once put my foot out of doors, though i was there a

fortnight. not one party, or scheme, or anything. to be sure london was

rather thin, but, however, the little theatre was open. well, and so

just as the carriage came to the door, my uncle was called away upon

business to that horrid man mr. stone. and then, you know, when once

they get together, there is no end of it. well, i was so frightened i

did not know what to do, for my uncle was to give me away; and if we

were beyond the hour, we could not be married all day. but, luckily, he

came back again in ten minutes' time, and then we all set out. however,

i recollected afterwards that if he had been prevented going, the

wedding need not be put off, for mr. darcy might have done as well."

"mr. darcy!" repeated elizabeth, in utter amazement.

"oh, yes!--he was to come there with wickham, you know. but gracious

me! i quite forgot! i ought not to have said a word about it. i promised

them so faithfully! what will wickham say? it was to be such a secret!"

"if it was to be secret," said jane, "say not another word on the

subject. you may depend upon my seeking no further."

"oh! certainly," said elizabeth, though burning with curiosity; "we will

ask you no questions."

"thank you," said lydia, "for if you did, i should certainly tell you

all, and then wickham would be angry."

on such encouragement to ask, elizabeth was forced to put it out of her

power, by running away.

but to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible; or at least

it was impossible not to try for information. mr. darcy had been at

her sister's wedding. it was exactly a scene, and exactly among people,

where he had apparently least to do, and least temptation to go.

conjectures as to the meaning of it, rapid and wild, hurried into her

brain; but she was satisfied with none. those that best pleased her, as

placing his conduct in the noblest light, seemed most improbable. she

could not bear such suspense; and hastily seizing a sheet of paper,

wrote a short letter to her aunt, to request an explanation of what

lydia had dropt, if it were compatible with the secrecy which had been

intended.

"you may readily comprehend," she added, "what my curiosity must be

to know how a person unconnected with any of us, and (comparatively

speaking) a stranger to our family, should have been amongst you at such

a time. pray write instantly, and let me understand it--unless it is,

for very cogent reasons, to remain in the secrecy which lydia seems

to think necessary; and then i must endeavour to be satisfied with

ignorance."

"not that i _shall_, though," she added to herself, as she finished

the letter; "and my dear aunt, if you do not tell me in an honourable

manner, i shall certainly be reduced to tricks and stratagems to find it

out."

jane's delicate sense of honour would not allow her to speak to

elizabeth privately of what lydia had let fall; elizabeth was glad

of it;--till it appeared whether her inquiries would receive any

satisfaction, she had rather be without a confidante.

chapter 52

elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as

soon as she possibly could. she was no sooner in possession of it

than, hurrying into the little copse, where she was least likely to

be interrupted, she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to

be happy; for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not

contain a denial.

"gracechurch street, sept. 6.

"my dear niece,

"i have just received your letter, and shall devote this whole morning

to answering it, as i foresee that a _little_ writing will not comprise

what i have to tell you. i must confess myself surprised by your

application; i did not expect it from _you_. don't think me angry,

however, for i only mean to let you know that i had not imagined such

inquiries to be necessary on _your_ side. if you do not choose to

understand me, forgive my impertinence. your uncle is as much surprised

as i am--and nothing but the belief of your being a party concerned

would have allowed him to act as he has done. but if you are really

innocent and ignorant, i must be more explicit.

"on the very day of my coming home from longbourn, your uncle had a most

unexpected visitor. mr. darcy called, and was shut up with him several

hours. it was all over before i arrived; so my curiosity was not so

dreadfully racked as _yours_ seems to have been. he came to tell mr.

gardiner that he had found out where your sister and mr. wickham were,

and that he had seen and talked with them both; wickham repeatedly,

lydia once. from what i can collect, he left derbyshire only one day

after ourselves, and came to town with the resolution of hunting for

them. the motive professed was his conviction of its being owing to

himself that wickham's worthlessness had not been so well known as to

make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide

in him. he generously imputed the whole to his mistaken pride, and

confessed that he had before thought it beneath him to lay his private

actions open to the world. his character was to speak for itself. he

called it, therefore, his duty to step forward, and endeavour to remedy

an evil which had been brought on by himself. if he _had another_

motive, i am sure it would never disgrace him. he had been some days

in town, before he was able to discover them; but he had something to

direct his search, which was more than _we_ had; and the consciousness

of this was another reason for his resolving to follow us.

"there is a lady, it seems, a mrs. younge, who was some time ago

governess to miss darcy, and was dismissed from her charge on some cause

of disapprobation, though he did not say what. she then took a large

house in edward-street, and has since maintained herself by letting

lodgings. this mrs. younge was, he knew, intimately acquainted with

wickham; and he went to her for intelligence of him as soon as he got to

town. but it was two or three days before he could get from her what he

wanted. she would not betray her trust, i suppose, without bribery and

corruption, for she really did know where her friend was to be found.

wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival in london, and had

she been able to receive them into her house, they would have taken up

their abode with her. at length, however, our kind friend procured the

wished-for direction. they were in ---- street. he saw wickham, and

afterwards insisted on seeing lydia. his first object with her, he

acknowledged, had been to persuade her to quit her present disgraceful

situation, and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed

on to receive her, offering his assistance, as far as it would go. but

he found lydia absolutely resolved on remaining where she was. she cared

for none of her friends; she wanted no help of his; she would not hear

of leaving wickham. she was sure they should be married some time or

other, and it did not much signify when. since such were her feelings,

it only remained, he thought, to secure and expedite a marriage, which,

in his very first conversation with wickham, he easily learnt had never

been _his_ design. he confessed himself obliged to leave the regiment,

on account of some debts of honour, which were very pressing; and

scrupled not to lay all the ill-consequences of lydia's flight on her

own folly alone. he meant to resign his commission immediately; and as

to his future situation, he could conjecture very little about it. he

must go somewhere, but he did not know where, and he knew he should have

nothing to live on.

"mr. darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once. though

mr. bennet was not imagined to be very rich, he would have been able

to do something for him, and his situation must have been benefited by

marriage. but he found, in reply to this question, that wickham still

cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in

some other country. under such circumstances, however, he was not likely

to be proof against the temptation of immediate relief.

"they met several times, for there was much to be discussed. wickham of

course wanted more than he could get; but at length was reduced to be

reasonable.

"every thing being settled between _them_, mr. darcy's next step was to

make your uncle acquainted with it, and he first called in gracechurch

street the evening before i came home. but mr. gardiner could not be

seen, and mr. darcy found, on further inquiry, that your father was

still with him, but would quit town the next morning. he did not judge

your father to be a person whom he could so properly consult as your

uncle, and therefore readily postponed seeing him till after the

departure of the former. he did not leave his name, and till the next

day it was only known that a gentleman had called on business.

"on saturday he came again. your father was gone, your uncle at home,

and, as i said before, they had a great deal of talk together.

"they met again on sunday, and then _i_ saw him too. it was not all

settled before monday: as soon as it was, the express was sent off to

longbourn. but our visitor was very obstinate. i fancy, lizzy, that

obstinacy is the real defect of his character, after all. he has been

accused of many faults at different times, but _this_ is the true one.

nothing was to be done that he did not do himself; though i am sure (and

i do not speak it to be thanked, therefore say nothing about it), your

uncle would most readily have settled the whole.

"they battled it together for a long time, which was more than either

the gentleman or lady concerned in it deserved. but at last your uncle

was forced to yield, and instead of being allowed to be of use to his

niece, was forced to put up with only having the probable credit of it,

which went sorely against the grain; and i really believe your letter

this morning gave him great pleasure, because it required an explanation

that would rob him of his borrowed feathers, and give the praise where

it was due. but, lizzy, this must go no farther than yourself, or jane

at most.

"you know pretty well, i suppose, what has been done for the young

people. his debts are to be paid, amounting, i believe, to considerably

more than a thousand pounds, another thousand in addition to her own

settled upon _her_, and his commission purchased. the reason why all

this was to be done by him alone, was such as i have given above. it

was owing to him, to his reserve and want of proper consideration, that

wickham's character had been so misunderstood, and consequently that he

had been received and noticed as he was. perhaps there was some truth

in _this_; though i doubt whether _his_ reserve, or _anybody's_ reserve,

can be answerable for the event. but in spite of all this fine talking,

my dear lizzy, you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would

never have yielded, if we had not given him credit for _another

interest_ in the affair.

"when all this was resolved on, he returned again to his friends, who

were still staying at pemberley; but it was agreed that he should be in

london once more when the wedding took place, and all money matters were

then to receive the last finish.

"i believe i have now told you every thing. it is a relation which

you tell me is to give you great surprise; i hope at least it will not

afford you any displeasure. lydia came to us; and wickham had constant

admission to the house. _he_ was exactly what he had been, when i

knew him in hertfordshire; but i would not tell you how little i was

satisfied with her behaviour while she staid with us, if i had not

perceived, by jane's letter last wednesday, that her conduct on coming

home was exactly of a piece with it, and therefore what i now tell

you can give you no fresh pain. i talked to her repeatedly in the most

serious manner, representing to her all the wickedness of what she had

done, and all the unhappiness she had brought on her family. if she

heard me, it was by good luck, for i am sure she did not listen. i was

sometimes quite provoked, but then i recollected my dear elizabeth and

jane, and for their sakes had patience with her.

"mr. darcy was punctual in his return, and as lydia informed you,

attended the wedding. he dined with us the next day, and was to leave

town again on wednesday or thursday. will you be very angry with me, my

dear lizzy, if i take this opportunity of saying (what i was never bold

enough to say before) how much i like him. his behaviour to us has,

in every respect, been as pleasing as when we were in derbyshire. his

understanding and opinions all please me; he wants nothing but a little

more liveliness, and _that_, if he marry _prudently_, his wife may teach

him. i thought him very sly;--he hardly ever mentioned your name. but

slyness seems the fashion.

"pray forgive me if i have been very presuming, or at least do not

punish me so far as to exclude me from p. i shall never be quite happy

till i have been all round the park. a low phaeton, with a nice little

pair of ponies, would be the very thing.

"but i must write no more. the children have been wanting me this half

hour.

"yours, very sincerely,

"m. gardiner."

the contents of this letter threw elizabeth into a flutter of spirits,

in which it was difficult to determine whether pleasure or pain bore the

greatest share. the vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had

produced of what mr. darcy might have been doing to forward her sister's

match, which she had feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too

great to be probable, and at the same time dreaded to be just, from the

pain of obligation, were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true!

he had followed them purposely to town, he had taken on himself all

the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research; in which

supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and

despise, and where he was reduced to meet, frequently meet, reason

with, persuade, and finally bribe, the man whom he always most wished to

avoid, and whose very name it was punishment to him to pronounce. he had

done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem. her

heart did whisper that he had done it for her. but it was a hope shortly

checked by other considerations, and she soon felt that even her vanity

was insufficient, when required to depend on his affection for her--for

a woman who had already refused him--as able to overcome a sentiment so

natural as abhorrence against relationship with wickham. brother-in-law

of wickham! every kind of pride must revolt from the connection. he had,

to be sure, done much. she was ashamed to think how much. but he had

given a reason for his interference, which asked no extraordinary

stretch of belief. it was reasonable that he should feel he had been

wrong; he had liberality, and he had the means of exercising it; and

though she would not place herself as his principal inducement, she

could, perhaps, believe that remaining partiality for her might assist

his endeavours in a cause where her peace of mind must be materially

concerned. it was painful, exceedingly painful, to know that they were

under obligations to a person who could never receive a return. they

owed the restoration of lydia, her character, every thing, to him. oh!

how heartily did she grieve over every ungracious sensation she had ever

encouraged, every saucy speech she had ever directed towards him. for

herself she was humbled; but she was proud of him. proud that in a cause

of compassion and honour, he had been able to get the better of himself.

she read over her aunt's commendation of him again and again. it

was hardly enough; but it pleased her. she was even sensible of some

pleasure, though mixed with regret, on finding how steadfastly both she

and her uncle had been persuaded that affection and confidence subsisted

between mr. darcy and herself.

she was roused from her seat, and her reflections, by some one's

approach; and before she could strike into another path, she was

overtaken by wickham.

"i am afraid i interrupt your solitary ramble, my dear sister?" said he,

as he joined her.

"you certainly do," she replied with a smile; "but it does not follow

that the interruption must be unwelcome."

"i should be sorry indeed, if it were. we were always good friends; and

now we are better."

"true. are the others coming out?"

"i do not know. mrs. bennet and lydia are going in the carriage to

meryton. and so, my dear sister, i find, from our uncle and aunt, that

you have actually seen pemberley."

she replied in the affirmative.

"i almost envy you the pleasure, and yet i believe it would be too much

for me, or else i could take it in my way to newcastle. and you saw the

old housekeeper, i suppose? poor reynolds, she was always very fond of

me. but of course she did not mention my name to you."

"yes, she did."

"and what did she say?"

"that you were gone into the army, and she was afraid had--not turned

out well. at such a distance as _that_, you know, things are strangely

misrepresented."

"certainly," he replied, biting his lips. elizabeth hoped she had

silenced him; but he soon afterwards said:

"i was surprised to see darcy in town last month. we passed each other

several times. i wonder what he can be doing there."

"perhaps preparing for his marriage with miss de bourgh," said

elizabeth. "it must be something particular, to take him there at this

time of year."

"undoubtedly. did you see him while you were at lambton? i thought i

understood from the gardiners that you had."

"yes; he introduced us to his sister."

"and do you like her?"

"very much."

"i have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly improved within this year

or two. when i last saw her, she was not very promising. i am very glad

you liked her. i hope she will turn out well."

"i dare say she will; she has got over the most trying age."

"did you go by the village of kympton?"

"i do not recollect that we did."

"i mention it, because it is the living which i ought to have had. a

most delightful place!--excellent parsonage house! it would have suited

me in every respect."

"how should you have liked making sermons?"

"exceedingly well. i should have considered it as part of my duty,

and the exertion would soon have been nothing. one ought not to

repine;--but, to be sure, it would have been such a thing for me! the

quiet, the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas

of happiness! but it was not to be. did you ever hear darcy mention the

circumstance, when you were in kent?"

"i have heard from authority, which i thought _as good_, that it was

left you conditionally only, and at the will of the present patron."

"you have. yes, there was something in _that_; i told you so from the

first, you may remember."

"i _did_ hear, too, that there was a time, when sermon-making was not

so palatable to you as it seems to be at present; that you actually

declared your resolution of never taking orders, and that the business

had been compromised accordingly."

"you did! and it was not wholly without foundation. you may remember

what i told you on that point, when first we talked of it."

they were now almost at the door of the house, for she had walked fast

to get rid of him; and unwilling, for her sister's sake, to provoke him,

she only said in reply, with a good-humoured smile:

"come, mr. wickham, we are brother and sister, you know. do not let

us quarrel about the past. in future, i hope we shall be always of one

mind."

she held out her hand; he kissed it with affectionate gallantry, though

he hardly knew how to look, and they entered the house.

chapter 53

mr. wickham was so perfectly satisfied with this conversation that he

never again distressed himself, or provoked his dear sister elizabeth,

by introducing the subject of it; and she was pleased to find that she

had said enough to keep him quiet.

the day of his and lydia's departure soon came, and mrs. bennet was

forced to submit to a separation, which, as her husband by no means

entered into her scheme of their all going to newcastle, was likely to

continue at least a twelvemonth.

"oh! my dear lydia," she cried, "when shall we meet again?"

"oh, lord! i don't know. not these two or three years, perhaps."

"write to me very often, my dear."

"as often as i can. but you know married women have never much time for

writing. my sisters may write to _me_. they will have nothing else to

do."

mr. wickham's adieus were much more affectionate than his wife's. he

smiled, looked handsome, and said many pretty things.

"he is as fine a fellow," said mr. bennet, as soon as they were out of

the house, "as ever i saw. he simpers, and smirks, and makes love to

us all. i am prodigiously proud of him. i defy even sir william lucas

himself to produce a more valuable son-in-law."

the loss of her daughter made mrs. bennet very dull for several days.

"i often think," said she, "that there is nothing so bad as parting with

one's friends. one seems so forlorn without them."

"this is the consequence, you see, madam, of marrying a daughter," said

elizabeth. "it must make you better satisfied that your other four are

single."

"it is no such thing. lydia does not leave me because she is married,

but only because her husband's regiment happens to be so far off. if

that had been nearer, she would not have gone so soon."

but the spiritless condition which this event threw her into was shortly

relieved, and her mind opened again to the agitation of hope, by an

article of news which then began to be in circulation. the housekeeper

at netherfield had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her

master, who was coming down in a day or two, to shoot there for several

weeks. mrs. bennet was quite in the fidgets. she looked at jane, and

smiled and shook her head by turns.

"well, well, and so mr. bingley is coming down, sister," (for mrs.

phillips first brought her the news). "well, so much the better. not

that i care about it, though. he is nothing to us, you know, and i am

sure _i_ never want to see him again. but, however, he is very welcome

to come to netherfield, if he likes it. and who knows what _may_ happen?

but that is nothing to us. you know, sister, we agreed long ago never to

mention a word about it. and so, is it quite certain he is coming?"

"you may depend on it," replied the other, "for mrs. nicholls was in

meryton last night; i saw her passing by, and went out myself on purpose

to know the truth of it; and she told me that it was certain true. he

comes down on thursday at the latest, very likely on wednesday. she was

going to the butcher's, she told me, on purpose to order in some meat on

wednesday, and she has got three couple of ducks just fit to be killed."

miss bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing

colour. it was many months since she had mentioned his name to

elizabeth; but now, as soon as they were alone together, she said:

"i saw you look at me to-day, lizzy, when my aunt told us of the present

report; and i know i appeared distressed. but don't imagine it was from

any silly cause. i was only confused for the moment, because i felt that

i _should_ be looked at. i do assure you that the news does not affect

me either with pleasure or pain. i am glad of one thing, that he comes

alone; because we shall see the less of him. not that i am afraid of

_myself_, but i dread other people's remarks."

elizabeth did not know what to make of it. had she not seen him in

derbyshire, she might have supposed him capable of coming there with no

other view than what was acknowledged; but she still thought him partial

to jane, and she wavered as to the greater probability of his coming

there _with_ his friend's permission, or being bold enough to come

without it.

"yet it is hard," she sometimes thought, "that this poor man cannot

come to a house which he has legally hired, without raising all this

speculation! i _will_ leave him to himself."

in spite of what her sister declared, and really believed to be her

feelings in the expectation of his arrival, elizabeth could easily

perceive that her spirits were affected by it. they were more disturbed,

more unequal, than she had often seen them.

the subject which had been so warmly canvassed between their parents,

about a twelvemonth ago, was now brought forward again.

"as soon as ever mr. bingley comes, my dear," said mrs. bennet, "you

will wait on him of course."

"no, no. you forced me into visiting him last year, and promised, if i

went to see him, he should marry one of my daughters. but it ended in

nothing, and i will not be sent on a fool's errand again."

his wife represented to him how absolutely necessary such an attention

would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen, on his returning to

netherfield.

"'tis an etiquette i despise," said he. "if he wants our society,

let him seek it. he knows where we live. i will not spend my hours

in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back

again."

"well, all i know is, that it will be abominably rude if you do not wait

on him. but, however, that shan't prevent my asking him to dine here, i

am determined. we must have mrs. long and the gouldings soon. that will

make thirteen with ourselves, so there will be just room at table for

him."

consoled by this resolution, she was the better able to bear her

husband's incivility; though it was very mortifying to know that her

neighbours might all see mr. bingley, in consequence of it, before

_they_ did. as the day of his arrival drew near,--

"i begin to be sorry that he comes at all," said jane to her sister. "it

would be nothing; i could see him with perfect indifference, but i can

hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of. my mother means well;

but she does not know, no one can know, how much i suffer from what she

says. happy shall i be, when his stay at netherfield is over!"

"i wish i could say anything to comfort you," replied elizabeth; "but it

is wholly out of my power. you must feel it; and the usual satisfaction

of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me, because you have

always so much."

mr. bingley arrived. mrs. bennet, through the assistance of servants,

contrived to have the earliest tidings of it, that the period of anxiety

and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could. she counted

the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent;

hopeless of seeing him before. but on the third morning after his

arrival in hertfordshire, she saw him, from her dressing-room window,

enter the paddock and ride towards the house.

her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy. jane resolutely

kept her place at the table; but elizabeth, to satisfy her mother, went

to the window--she looked,--she saw mr. darcy with him, and sat down

again by her sister.

"there is a gentleman with him, mamma," said kitty; "who can it be?"

"some acquaintance or other, my dear, i suppose; i am sure i do not

know."

"la!" replied kitty, "it looks just like that man that used to be with

him before. mr. what's-his-name. that tall, proud man."

"good gracious! mr. darcy!--and so it does, i vow. well, any friend of

mr. bingley's will always be welcome here, to be sure; but else i must

say that i hate the very sight of him."

jane looked at elizabeth with surprise and concern. she knew but little

of their meeting in derbyshire, and therefore felt for the awkwardness

which must attend her sister, in seeing him almost for the first time

after receiving his explanatory letter. both sisters were uncomfortable

enough. each felt for the other, and of course for themselves; and their

mother talked on, of her dislike of mr. darcy, and her resolution to be

civil to him only as mr. bingley's friend, without being heard by either

of them. but elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be

suspected by jane, to whom she had never yet had courage to shew mrs.

gardiner's letter, or to relate her own change of sentiment towards him.

to jane, he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused,

and whose merit she had undervalued; but to her own more extensive

information, he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted

for the first of benefits, and whom she regarded herself with an

interest, if not quite so tender, at least as reasonable and just as

what jane felt for bingley. her astonishment at his coming--at his

coming to netherfield, to longbourn, and voluntarily seeking her again,

was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered

behaviour in derbyshire.

the colour which had been driven from her face, returned for half a

minute with an additional glow, and a smile of delight added lustre to

her eyes, as she thought for that space of time that his affection and

wishes must still be unshaken. but she would not be secure.

"let me first see how he behaves," said she; "it will then be early

enough for expectation."

she sat intently at work, striving to be composed, and without daring to

lift up her eyes, till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of

her sister as the servant was approaching the door. jane looked a little

paler than usual, but more sedate than elizabeth had expected. on the

gentlemen's appearing, her colour increased; yet she received them with

tolerable ease, and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any

symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance.

elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow, and sat down

again to her work, with an eagerness which it did not often command. she

had ventured only one glance at darcy. he looked serious, as usual; and,

she thought, more as he had been used to look in hertfordshire, than as

she had seen him at pemberley. but, perhaps he could not in her mother's

presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt. it was a painful, but

not an improbable, conjecture.

bingley, she had likewise seen for an instant, and in that short period

saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed. he was received by mrs.

bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed,

especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of

her curtsey and address to his friend.

elizabeth, particularly, who knew that her mother owed to the latter

the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy,

was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill

applied.

darcy, after inquiring of her how mr. and mrs. gardiner did, a question

which she could not answer without confusion, said scarcely anything. he

was not seated by her; perhaps that was the reason of his silence; but

it had not been so in derbyshire. there he had talked to her friends,

when he could not to herself. but now several minutes elapsed without

bringing the sound of his voice; and when occasionally, unable to resist

the impulse of curiosity, she raised her eyes to his face, she as often

found him looking at jane as at herself, and frequently on no object but

the ground. more thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please, than when

they last met, were plainly expressed. she was disappointed, and angry

with herself for being so.

"could i expect it to be otherwise!" said she. "yet why did he come?"

she was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself; and to

him she had hardly courage to speak.

she inquired after his sister, but could do no more.

"it is a long time, mr. bingley, since you went away," said mrs. bennet.

he readily agreed to it.

"i began to be afraid you would never come back again. people _did_ say

you meant to quit the place entirely at michaelmas; but, however, i hope

it is not true. a great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood,

since you went away. miss lucas is married and settled. and one of my

own daughters. i suppose you have heard of it; indeed, you must have

seen it in the papers. it was in the times and the courier, i know;

though it was not put in as it ought to be. it was only said, 'lately,

george wickham, esq. to miss lydia bennet,' without there being a

syllable said of her father, or the place where she lived, or anything.

it was my brother gardiner's drawing up too, and i wonder how he came to

make such an awkward business of it. did you see it?"

bingley replied that he did, and made his congratulations. elizabeth

dared not lift up her eyes. how mr. darcy looked, therefore, she could

not tell.

"it is a delightful thing, to be sure, to have a daughter well married,"

continued her mother, "but at the same time, mr. bingley, it is very

hard to have her taken such a way from me. they are gone down to

newcastle, a place quite northward, it seems, and there they are to stay

i do not know how long. his regiment is there; for i suppose you have

heard of his leaving the ----shire, and of his being gone into the

regulars. thank heaven! he has _some_ friends, though perhaps not so

many as he deserves."

elizabeth, who knew this to be levelled at mr. darcy, was in such

misery of shame, that she could hardly keep her seat. it drew from her,

however, the exertion of speaking, which nothing else had so effectually

done before; and she asked bingley whether he meant to make any stay in

the country at present. a few weeks, he believed.

"when you have killed all your own birds, mr. bingley," said her mother,

"i beg you will come here, and shoot as many as you please on mr.

bennet's manor. i am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you, and

will save all the best of the covies for you."

elizabeth's misery increased, at such unnecessary, such officious

attention! were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had

flattered them a year ago, every thing, she was persuaded, would be

hastening to the same vexatious conclusion. at that instant, she felt

that years of happiness could not make jane or herself amends for

moments of such painful confusion.

"the first wish of my heart," said she to herself, "is never more to

be in company with either of them. their society can afford no pleasure

that will atone for such wretchedness as this! let me never see either

one or the other again!"

yet the misery, for which years of happiness were to offer no

compensation, received soon afterwards material relief, from observing

how much the beauty of her sister re-kindled the admiration of her

former lover. when first he came in, he had spoken to her but little;

but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention. he

found her as handsome as she had been last year; as good natured, and

as unaffected, though not quite so chatty. jane was anxious that no

difference should be perceived in her at all, and was really persuaded

that she talked as much as ever. but her mind was so busily engaged,

that she did not always know when she was silent.

when the gentlemen rose to go away, mrs. bennet was mindful of her

intended civility, and they were invited and engaged to dine at

longbourn in a few days time.

"you are quite a visit in my debt, mr. bingley," she added, "for when

you went to town last winter, you promised to take a family dinner with

us, as soon as you returned. i have not forgot, you see; and i assure

you, i was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep

your engagement."

bingley looked a little silly at this reflection, and said something of

his concern at having been prevented by business. they then went away.

mrs. bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine

there that day; but, though she always kept a very good table, she did

not think anything less than two courses could be good enough for a man

on whom she had such anxious designs, or satisfy the appetite and pride

of one who had ten thousand a year.

chapter 54

as soon as they were gone, elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits;

or in other words, to dwell without interruption on those subjects that

must deaden them more. mr. darcy's behaviour astonished and vexed her.

"why, if he came only to be silent, grave, and indifferent," said she,

"did he come at all?"

she could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure.

"he could be still amiable, still pleasing, to my uncle and aunt, when

he was in town; and why not to me? if he fears me, why come hither? if

he no longer cares for me, why silent? teasing, teasing, man! i will

think no more about him."

her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach

of her sister, who joined her with a cheerful look, which showed her

better satisfied with their visitors, than elizabeth.

"now," said she, "that this first meeting is over, i feel perfectly

easy. i know my own strength, and i shall never be embarrassed again by

his coming. i am glad he dines here on tuesday. it will then be publicly

seen that, on both sides, we meet only as common and indifferent

acquaintance."

"yes, very indifferent indeed," said elizabeth, laughingly. "oh, jane,

take care."

"my dear lizzy, you cannot think me so weak, as to be in danger now?"

"i think you are in very great danger of making him as much in love with

you as ever."

                          * * * * *

they did not see the gentlemen again till tuesday; and mrs. bennet, in

the meanwhile, was giving way to all the happy schemes, which the good

humour and common politeness of bingley, in half an hour's visit, had

revived.

on tuesday there was a large party assembled at longbourn; and the two

who were most anxiously expected, to the credit of their punctuality

as sportsmen, were in very good time. when they repaired to the

dining-room, elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether bingley would take

the place, which, in all their former parties, had belonged to him, by

her sister. her prudent mother, occupied by the same ideas, forbore

to invite him to sit by herself. on entering the room, he seemed to

hesitate; but jane happened to look round, and happened to smile: it was

decided. he placed himself by her.

elizabeth, with a triumphant sensation, looked towards his friend.

he bore it with noble indifference, and she would have imagined that

bingley had received his sanction to be happy, had she not seen his eyes

likewise turned towards mr. darcy, with an expression of half-laughing

alarm.

his behaviour to her sister was such, during dinner time, as showed an

admiration of her, which, though more guarded than formerly, persuaded

elizabeth, that if left wholly to himself, jane's happiness, and his

own, would be speedily secured. though she dared not depend upon the

consequence, she yet received pleasure from observing his behaviour. it

gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast; for she was in

no cheerful humour. mr. darcy was almost as far from her as the table

could divide them. he was on one side of her mother. she knew how little

such a situation would give pleasure to either, or make either appear to

advantage. she was not near enough to hear any of their discourse, but

she could see how seldom they spoke to each other, and how formal and

cold was their manner whenever they did. her mother's ungraciousness,

made the sense of what they owed him more painful to elizabeth's mind;

and she would, at times, have given anything to be privileged to tell

him that his kindness was neither unknown nor unfelt by the whole of the

family.

she was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity of

bringing them together; that the whole of the visit would not pass away

without enabling them to enter into something more of conversation than

the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entrance. anxious

and uneasy, the period which passed in the drawing-room, before the

gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her

uncivil. she looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all

her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend.

"if he does not come to me, _then_," said she, "i shall give him up for

ever."

the gentlemen came; and she thought he looked as if he would have

answered her hopes; but, alas! the ladies had crowded round the table,

where miss bennet was making tea, and elizabeth pouring out the coffee,

in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her

which would admit of a chair. and on the gentlemen's approaching, one of

the girls moved closer to her than ever, and said, in a whisper:

"the men shan't come and part us, i am determined. we want none of them;

do we?"

darcy had walked away to another part of the room. she followed him with

her eyes, envied everyone to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience enough

to help anybody to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for

being so silly!

"a man who has once been refused! how could i ever be foolish enough to

expect a renewal of his love? is there one among the sex, who would not

protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman?

there is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings!"

she was a little revived, however, by his bringing back his coffee cup

himself; and she seized the opportunity of saying:

"is your sister at pemberley still?"

"yes, she will remain there till christmas."

"and quite alone? have all her friends left her?"

"mrs. annesley is with her. the others have been gone on to scarborough,

these three weeks."

she could think of nothing more to say; but if he wished to converse

with her, he might have better success. he stood by her, however, for

some minutes, in silence; and, at last, on the young lady's whispering

to elizabeth again, he walked away.

when the tea-things were removed, and the card-tables placed, the ladies

all rose, and elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him,

when all her views were overthrown by seeing him fall a victim to her

mother's rapacity for whist players, and in a few moments after seated

with the rest of the party. she now lost every expectation of pleasure.

they were confined for the evening at different tables, and she had

nothing to hope, but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side

of the room, as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself.

mrs. bennet had designed to keep the two netherfield gentlemen to

supper; but their carriage was unluckily ordered before any of the

others, and she had no opportunity of detaining them.

"well girls," said she, as soon as they were left to themselves, "what

say you to the day? i think every thing has passed off uncommonly well,

i assure you. the dinner was as well dressed as any i ever saw. the

venison was roasted to a turn--and everybody said they never saw so

fat a haunch. the soup was fifty times better than what we had at the

lucases' last week; and even mr. darcy acknowledged, that the partridges

were remarkably well done; and i suppose he has two or three french

cooks at least. and, my dear jane, i never saw you look in greater

beauty. mrs. long said so too, for i asked her whether you did not. and

what do you think she said besides? 'ah! mrs. bennet, we shall have her

at netherfield at last.' she did indeed. i do think mrs. long is as good

a creature as ever lived--and her nieces are very pretty behaved girls,

and not at all handsome: i like them prodigiously."

mrs. bennet, in short, was in very great spirits; she had seen enough of

bingley's behaviour to jane, to be convinced that she would get him at

last; and her expectations of advantage to her family, when in a happy

humour, were so far beyond reason, that she was quite disappointed at

not seeing him there again the next day, to make his proposals.

"it has been a very agreeable day," said miss bennet to elizabeth. "the

party seemed so well selected, so suitable one with the other. i hope we

may often meet again."

elizabeth smiled.

"lizzy, you must not do so. you must not suspect me. it mortifies me.

i assure you that i have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an

agreeable and sensible young man, without having a wish beyond it. i am

perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had

any design of engaging my affection. it is only that he is blessed

with greater sweetness of address, and a stronger desire of generally

pleasing, than any other man."

"you are very cruel," said her sister, "you will not let me smile, and

are provoking me to it every moment."

"how hard it is in some cases to be believed!"

"and how impossible in others!"

"but why should you wish to persuade me that i feel more than i

acknowledge?"

"that is a question which i hardly know how to answer. we all love to

instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing. forgive

me; and if you persist in indifference, do not make me your confidante."

chapter 55

a few days after this visit, mr. bingley called again, and alone. his

friend had left him that morning for london, but was to return home in

ten days time. he sat with them above an hour, and was in remarkably

good spirits. mrs. bennet invited him to dine with them; but, with many

expressions of concern, he confessed himself engaged elsewhere.

"next time you call," said she, "i hope we shall be more lucky."

he should be particularly happy at any time, etc. etc.; and if she would

give him leave, would take an early opportunity of waiting on them.

"can you come to-morrow?"

yes, he had no engagement at all for to-morrow; and her invitation was

accepted with alacrity.

he came, and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them

dressed. in ran mrs. bennet to her daughter's room, in her dressing

gown, and with her hair half finished, crying out:

"my dear jane, make haste and hurry down. he is come--mr. bingley is

come. he is, indeed. make haste, make haste. here, sarah, come to miss

bennet this moment, and help her on with her gown. never mind miss

lizzy's hair."

"we will be down as soon as we can," said jane; "but i dare say kitty is

forwarder than either of us, for she went up stairs half an hour ago."

"oh! hang kitty! what has she to do with it? come be quick, be quick!

where is your sash, my dear?"

but when her mother was gone, jane would not be prevailed on to go down

without one of her sisters.

the same anxiety to get them by themselves was visible again in the

evening. after tea, mr. bennet retired to the library, as was his

custom, and mary went up stairs to her instrument. two obstacles of

the five being thus removed, mrs. bennet sat looking and winking at

elizabeth and catherine for a considerable time, without making any

impression on them. elizabeth would not observe her; and when at last

kitty did, she very innocently said, "what is the matter mamma? what do

you keep winking at me for? what am i to do?"

"nothing child, nothing. i did not wink at you." she then sat still

five minutes longer; but unable to waste such a precious occasion, she

suddenly got up, and saying to kitty, "come here, my love, i want to

speak to you," took her out of the room. jane instantly gave a look

at elizabeth which spoke her distress at such premeditation, and her

entreaty that _she_ would not give in to it. in a few minutes, mrs.

bennet half-opened the door and called out:

"lizzy, my dear, i want to speak with you."

elizabeth was forced to go.

"we may as well leave them by themselves you know;" said her mother, as

soon as she was in the hall. "kitty and i are going up stairs to sit in

my dressing-room."

elizabeth made no attempt to reason with her mother, but remained

quietly in the hall, till she and kitty were out of sight, then returned

into the drawing-room.

mrs. bennet's schemes for this day were ineffectual. bingley was every

thing that was charming, except the professed lover of her daughter. his

ease and cheerfulness rendered him a most agreeable addition to their

evening party; and he bore with the ill-judged officiousness of the

mother, and heard all her silly remarks with a forbearance and command

of countenance particularly grateful to the daughter.

he scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper; and before he went

away, an engagement was formed, chiefly through his own and mrs.

bennet's means, for his coming next morning to shoot with her husband.

after this day, jane said no more of her indifference. not a word passed

between the sisters concerning bingley; but elizabeth went to bed in

the happy belief that all must speedily be concluded, unless mr. darcy

returned within the stated time. seriously, however, she felt tolerably

persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentleman's

concurrence.

bingley was punctual to his appointment; and he and mr. bennet spent

the morning together, as had been agreed on. the latter was much more

agreeable than his companion expected. there was nothing of presumption

or folly in bingley that could provoke his ridicule, or disgust him into

silence; and he was more communicative, and less eccentric, than the

other had ever seen him. bingley of course returned with him to dinner;

and in the evening mrs. bennet's invention was again at work to get

every body away from him and her daughter. elizabeth, who had a letter

to write, went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea;

for as the others were all going to sit down to cards, she could not be

wanted to counteract her mother's schemes.

but on returning to the drawing-room, when her letter was finished, she

saw, to her infinite surprise, there was reason to fear that her mother

had been too ingenious for her. on opening the door, she perceived her

sister and bingley standing together over the hearth, as if engaged in

earnest conversation; and had this led to no suspicion, the faces of

both, as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other, would

have told it all. their situation was awkward enough; but _hers_ she

thought was still worse. not a syllable was uttered by either; and

elizabeth was on the point of going away again, when bingley, who as

well as the other had sat down, suddenly rose, and whispering a few

words to her sister, ran out of the room.

jane could have no reserves from elizabeth, where confidence would give

pleasure; and instantly embracing her, acknowledged, with the liveliest

emotion, that she was the happiest creature in the world.

"'tis too much!" she added, "by far too much. i do not deserve it. oh!

why is not everybody as happy?"

elizabeth's congratulations were given with a sincerity, a warmth,

a delight, which words could but poorly express. every sentence of

kindness was a fresh source of happiness to jane. but she would not

allow herself to stay with her sister, or say half that remained to be

said for the present.

"i must go instantly to my mother;" she cried. "i would not on any

account trifle with her affectionate solicitude; or allow her to hear it

from anyone but myself. he is gone to my father already. oh! lizzy, to

know that what i have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear

family! how shall i bear so much happiness!"

she then hastened away to her mother, who had purposely broken up the

card party, and was sitting up stairs with kitty.

elizabeth, who was left by herself, now smiled at the rapidity and ease

with which an affair was finally settled, that had given them so many

previous months of suspense and vexation.

"and this," said she, "is the end of all his friend's anxious

circumspection! of all his sister's falsehood and contrivance! the

happiest, wisest, most reasonable end!"

in a few minutes she was joined by bingley, whose conference with her

father had been short and to the purpose.

"where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.

"with my mother up stairs. she will be down in a moment, i dare say."

he then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes

and affection of a sister. elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed

her delight in the prospect of their relationship. they shook hands with

great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen

to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of jane's perfections;

and in spite of his being a lover, elizabeth really believed all his

expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for

basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of

jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and

himself.

it was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of

miss bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as

made her look handsomer than ever. kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped

her turn was coming soon. mrs. bennet could not give her consent or

speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings,

though she talked to bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when

mr. bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly showed

how really happy he was.

not a word, however, passed his lips in allusion to it, till their

visitor took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he

turned to his daughter, and said:

"jane, i congratulate you. you will be a very happy woman."

jane went to him instantly, kissed him, and thanked him for his

goodness.

"you are a good girl;" he replied, "and i have great pleasure in

thinking you will be so happily settled. i have not a doubt of your

doing very well together. your tempers are by no means unlike. you are

each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so

easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will

always exceed your income."

"i hope not so. imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be

unpardonable in me."

"exceed their income! my dear mr. bennet," cried his wife, "what are you

talking of? why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely

more." then addressing her daughter, "oh! my dear, dear jane, i am so

happy! i am sure i shan't get a wink of sleep all night. i knew how it

would be. i always said it must be so, at last. i was sure you could not

be so beautiful for nothing! i remember, as soon as ever i saw him, when

he first came into hertfordshire last year, i thought how likely it was

that you should come together. oh! he is the handsomest young man that

ever was seen!"

wickham, lydia, were all forgotten. jane was beyond competition her

favourite child. at that moment, she cared for no other. her younger

sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness

which she might in future be able to dispense.

mary petitioned for the use of the library at netherfield; and kitty

begged very hard for a few balls there every winter.

bingley, from this time, was of course a daily visitor at longbourn;

coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after

supper; unless when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough

detested, had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself

obliged to accept.

elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for

while he was present, jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else;

but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours

of separation that must sometimes occur. in the absence of jane, he

always attached himself to elizabeth, for the pleasure of talking of

her; and when bingley was gone, jane constantly sought the same means of

relief.

"he has made me so happy," said she, one evening, "by telling me that he

was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring! i had not believed

it possible."

"i suspected as much," replied elizabeth. "but how did he account for

it?"

"it must have been his sister's doing. they were certainly no friends to

his acquaintance with me, which i cannot wonder at, since he might have

chosen so much more advantageously in many respects. but when they see,

as i trust they will, that their brother is happy with me, they will

learn to be contented, and we shall be on good terms again; though we

can never be what we once were to each other."

"that is the most unforgiving speech," said elizabeth, "that i ever

heard you utter. good girl! it would vex me, indeed, to see you again

the dupe of miss bingley's pretended regard."

"would you believe it, lizzy, that when he went to town last november,

he really loved me, and nothing but a persuasion of _my_ being

indifferent would have prevented his coming down again!"

"he made a little mistake to be sure; but it is to the credit of his

modesty."

this naturally introduced a panegyric from jane on his diffidence, and

the little value he put on his own good qualities. elizabeth was pleased

to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for,

though jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she

knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.

"i am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried

jane. "oh! lizzy, why am i thus singled from my family, and blessed

above them all! if i could but see _you_ as happy! if there _were_ but

such another man for you!"

"if you were to give me forty such men, i never could be so happy as

you. till i have your disposition, your goodness, i never can have your

happiness. no, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if i have very

good luck, i may meet with another mr. collins in time."

the situation of affairs in the longbourn family could not be long a

secret. mrs. bennet was privileged to whisper it to mrs. phillips,

and she ventured, without any permission, to do the same by all her

neighbours in meryton.

the bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the

world, though only a few weeks before, when lydia had first run away,

they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.

chapter 56

one morning, about a week after bingley's engagement with jane had been

formed, as he and the females of the family were sitting together in the

dining-room, their attention was suddenly drawn to the window, by the

sound of a carriage; and they perceived a chaise and four driving up

the lawn. it was too early in the morning for visitors, and besides, the

equipage did not answer to that of any of their neighbours. the horses

were post; and neither the carriage, nor the livery of the servant who

preceded it, were familiar to them. as it was certain, however, that

somebody was coming, bingley instantly prevailed on miss bennet to avoid

the confinement of such an intrusion, and walk away with him into the

shrubbery. they both set off, and the conjectures of the remaining three

continued, though with little satisfaction, till the door was thrown

open and their visitor entered. it was lady catherine de bourgh.

they were of course all intending to be surprised; but their

astonishment was beyond their expectation; and on the part of mrs.

bennet and kitty, though she was perfectly unknown to them, even

inferior to what elizabeth felt.

she entered the room with an air more than usually ungracious, made no

other reply to elizabeth's salutation than a slight inclination of the

head, and sat down without saying a word. elizabeth had mentioned her

name to her mother on her ladyship's entrance, though no request of

introduction had been made.

mrs. bennet, all amazement, though flattered by having a guest of such

high importance, received her with the utmost politeness. after sitting

for a moment in silence, she said very stiffly to elizabeth,

"i hope you are well, miss bennet. that lady, i suppose, is your

mother."

elizabeth replied very concisely that she was.

"and _that_ i suppose is one of your sisters."

"yes, madam," said mrs. bennet, delighted to speak to lady catherine.

"she is my youngest girl but one. my youngest of all is lately married,

and my eldest is somewhere about the grounds, walking with a young man

who, i believe, will soon become a part of the family."

"you have a very small park here," returned lady catherine after a short

silence.

"it is nothing in comparison of rosings, my lady, i dare say; but i

assure you it is much larger than sir william lucas's."

"this must be a most inconvenient sitting room for the evening, in

summer; the windows are full west."

mrs. bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner, and then

added:

"may i take the liberty of asking your ladyship whether you left mr. and

mrs. collins well."

"yes, very well. i saw them the night before last."

elizabeth now expected that she would produce a letter for her from

charlotte, as it seemed the only probable motive for her calling. but no

letter appeared, and she was completely puzzled.

mrs. bennet, with great civility, begged her ladyship to take some

refreshment; but lady catherine very resolutely, and not very politely,

declined eating anything; and then, rising up, said to elizabeth,

"miss bennet, there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness

on one side of your lawn. i should be glad to take a turn in it, if you

will favour me with your company."

"go, my dear," cried her mother, "and show her ladyship about the

different walks. i think she will be pleased with the hermitage."

elizabeth obeyed, and running into her own room for her parasol,

attended her noble guest downstairs. as they passed through the

hall, lady catherine opened the doors into the dining-parlour and

drawing-room, and pronouncing them, after a short survey, to be decent

looking rooms, walked on.

her carriage remained at the door, and elizabeth saw that her

waiting-woman was in it. they proceeded in silence along the gravel walk

that led to the copse; elizabeth was determined to make no effort for

conversation with a woman who was now more than usually insolent and

disagreeable.

"how could i ever think her like her nephew?" said she, as she looked in

her face.

as soon as they entered the copse, lady catherine began in the following

manner:--

"you can be at no loss, miss bennet, to understand the reason of my

journey hither. your own heart, your own conscience, must tell you why i

come."

elizabeth looked with unaffected astonishment.

"indeed, you are mistaken, madam. i have not been at all able to account

for the honour of seeing you here."

"miss bennet," replied her ladyship, in an angry tone, "you ought to

know, that i am not to be trifled with. but however insincere _you_ may

choose to be, you shall not find _me_ so. my character has ever been

celebrated for its sincerity and frankness, and in a cause of such

moment as this, i shall certainly not depart from it. a report of a most

alarming nature reached me two days ago. i was told that not only your

sister was on the point of being most advantageously married, but that

you, that miss elizabeth bennet, would, in all likelihood, be soon

afterwards united to my nephew, my own nephew, mr. darcy. though i

_know_ it must be a scandalous falsehood, though i would not injure him

so much as to suppose the truth of it possible, i instantly resolved

on setting off for this place, that i might make my sentiments known to

you."

"if you believed it impossible to be true," said elizabeth, colouring

with astonishment and disdain, "i wonder you took the trouble of coming

so far. what could your ladyship propose by it?"

"at once to insist upon having such a report universally contradicted."

"your coming to longbourn, to see me and my family," said elizabeth

coolly, "will be rather a confirmation of it; if, indeed, such a report

is in existence."

"if! do you then pretend to be ignorant of it? has it not been

industriously circulated by yourselves? do you not know that such a

report is spread abroad?"

"i never heard that it was."

"and can you likewise declare, that there is no foundation for it?"

"i do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship. you may

ask questions which i shall not choose to answer."

"this is not to be borne. miss bennet, i insist on being satisfied. has

he, has my nephew, made you an offer of marriage?"

"your ladyship has declared it to be impossible."

"it ought to be so; it must be so, while he retains the use of his

reason. but your arts and allurements may, in a moment of infatuation,

have made him forget what he owes to himself and to all his family. you

may have drawn him in."

"if i have, i shall be the last person to confess it."

"miss bennet, do you know who i am? i have not been accustomed to such

language as this. i am almost the nearest relation he has in the world,

and am entitled to know all his dearest concerns."

"but you are not entitled to know mine; nor will such behaviour as this,

ever induce me to be explicit."

"let me be rightly understood. this match, to which you have the

presumption to aspire, can never take place. no, never. mr. darcy is

engaged to my daughter. now what have you to say?"

"only this; that if he is so, you can have no reason to suppose he will

make an offer to me."

lady catherine hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

"the engagement between them is of a peculiar kind. from their infancy,

they have been intended for each other. it was the favourite wish of

_his_ mother, as well as of hers. while in their cradles, we planned

the union: and now, at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would

be accomplished in their marriage, to be prevented by a young woman of

inferior birth, of no importance in the world, and wholly unallied to

the family! do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends? to his

tacit engagement with miss de bourgh? are you lost to every feeling of

propriety and delicacy? have you not heard me say that from his earliest

hours he was destined for his cousin?"

"yes, and i had heard it before. but what is that to me? if there is

no other objection to my marrying your nephew, i shall certainly not

be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to

marry miss de bourgh. you both did as much as you could in planning the

marriage. its completion depended on others. if mr. darcy is neither

by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin, why is not he to make

another choice? and if i am that choice, why may not i accept him?"

"because honour, decorum, prudence, nay, interest, forbid it. yes,

miss bennet, interest; for do not expect to be noticed by his family or

friends, if you wilfully act against the inclinations of all. you will

be censured, slighted, and despised, by everyone connected with him.

your alliance will be a disgrace; your name will never even be mentioned

by any of us."

"these are heavy misfortunes," replied elizabeth. "but the wife of mr.

darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily

attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause

to repine."

"obstinate, headstrong girl! i am ashamed of you! is this your gratitude

for my attentions to you last spring? is nothing due to me on that

score? let us sit down. you are to understand, miss bennet, that i came

here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will

i be dissuaded from it. i have not been used to submit to any person's

whims. i have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment."

"_that_ will make your ladyship's situation at present more pitiable;

but it will have no effect on me."

"i will not be interrupted. hear me in silence. my daughter and my

nephew are formed for each other. they are descended, on the maternal

side, from the same noble line; and, on the father's, from respectable,

honourable, and ancient--though untitled--families. their fortune on

both sides is splendid. they are destined for each other by the voice of

every member of their respective houses; and what is to divide them?

the upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections,

or fortune. is this to be endured! but it must not, shall not be. if you

were sensible of your own good, you would not wish to quit the sphere in

which you have been brought up."

"in marrying your nephew, i should not consider myself as quitting that

sphere. he is a gentleman; i am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are

equal."

"true. you _are_ a gentleman's daughter. but who was your mother?

who are your uncles and aunts? do not imagine me ignorant of their

condition."

"whatever my connections may be," said elizabeth, "if your nephew does

not object to them, they can be nothing to _you_."

"tell me once for all, are you engaged to him?"

though elizabeth would not, for the mere purpose of obliging lady

catherine, have answered this question, she could not but say, after a

moment's deliberation:

"i am not."

lady catherine seemed pleased.

"and will you promise me, never to enter into such an engagement?"

"i will make no promise of the kind."

"miss bennet i am shocked and astonished. i expected to find a more

reasonable young woman. but do not deceive yourself into a belief that

i will ever recede. i shall not go away till you have given me the

assurance i require."

"and i certainly _never_ shall give it. i am not to be intimidated into

anything so wholly unreasonable. your ladyship wants mr. darcy to marry

your daughter; but would my giving you the wished-for promise make their

marriage at all more probable? supposing him to be attached to me, would

my refusing to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cousin?

allow me to say, lady catherine, that the arguments with which you have

supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the

application was ill-judged. you have widely mistaken my character, if

you think i can be worked on by such persuasions as these. how far your

nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs, i cannot tell;

but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine. i must beg,

therefore, to be importuned no farther on the subject."

"not so hasty, if you please. i have by no means done. to all the

objections i have already urged, i have still another to add. i am

no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sister's infamous

elopement. i know it all; that the young man's marrying her was a

patched-up business, at the expence of your father and uncles. and is

such a girl to be my nephew's sister? is her husband, is the son of his

late father's steward, to be his brother? heaven and earth!--of what are

you thinking? are the shades of pemberley to be thus polluted?"

"you can now have nothing further to say," she resentfully answered.

"you have insulted me in every possible method. i must beg to return to

the house."

and she rose as she spoke. lady catherine rose also, and they turned

back. her ladyship was highly incensed.

"you have no regard, then, for the honour and credit of my nephew!

unfeeling, selfish girl! do you not consider that a connection with you

must disgrace him in the eyes of everybody?"

"lady catherine, i have nothing further to say. you know my sentiments."

"you are then resolved to have him?"

"i have said no such thing. i am only resolved to act in that manner,

which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without

reference to _you_, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me."

"it is well. you refuse, then, to oblige me. you refuse to obey the

claims of duty, honour, and gratitude. you are determined to ruin him in

the opinion of all his friends, and make him the contempt of the world."

"neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude," replied elizabeth, "have any

possible claim on me, in the present instance. no principle of either

would be violated by my marriage with mr. darcy. and with regard to the

resentment of his family, or the indignation of the world, if the former

_were_ excited by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment's

concern--and the world in general would have too much sense to join in

the scorn."

"and this is your real opinion! this is your final resolve! very well.

i shall now know how to act. do not imagine, miss bennet, that your

ambition will ever be gratified. i came to try you. i hoped to find you

reasonable; but, depend upon it, i will carry my point."

in this manner lady catherine talked on, till they were at the door of

the carriage, when, turning hastily round, she added, "i take no leave

of you, miss bennet. i send no compliments to your mother. you deserve

no such attention. i am most seriously displeased."

elizabeth made no answer; and without attempting to persuade her

ladyship to return into the house, walked quietly into it herself. she

heard the carriage drive away as she proceeded up stairs. her mother

impatiently met her at the door of the dressing-room, to ask why lady

catherine would not come in again and rest herself.

"she did not choose it," said her daughter, "she would go."

"she is a very fine-looking woman! and her calling here was prodigiously

civil! for she only came, i suppose, to tell us the collinses were

well. she is on her road somewhere, i dare say, and so, passing through

meryton, thought she might as well call on you. i suppose she had

nothing particular to say to you, lizzy?"

elizabeth was forced to give into a little falsehood here; for to

acknowledge the substance of their conversation was impossible.

chapter 57

the discomposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw

elizabeth into, could not be easily overcome; nor could she, for many

hours, learn to think of it less than incessantly. lady catherine, it

appeared, had actually taken the trouble of this journey from rosings,

for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed engagement with mr.

darcy. it was a rational scheme, to be sure! but from what the report

of their engagement could originate, elizabeth was at a loss to imagine;

till she recollected that _his_ being the intimate friend of bingley,

and _her_ being the sister of jane, was enough, at a time when the

expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another, to supply

the idea. she had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her

sister must bring them more frequently together. and her neighbours

at lucas lodge, therefore (for through their communication with the

collinses, the report, she concluded, had reached lady catherine), had

only set that down as almost certain and immediate, which she had looked

forward to as possible at some future time.

in revolving lady catherine's expressions, however, she could not help

feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence of her persisting

in this interference. from what she had said of her resolution to

prevent their marriage, it occurred to elizabeth that she must meditate

an application to her nephew; and how _he_ might take a similar

representation of the evils attached to a connection with her, she dared

not pronounce. she knew not the exact degree of his affection for his

aunt, or his dependence on her judgment, but it was natural to suppose

that he thought much higher of her ladyship than _she_ could do; and it

was certain that, in enumerating the miseries of a marriage with _one_,

whose immediate connections were so unequal to his own, his aunt would

address him on his weakest side. with his notions of dignity, he would

probably feel that the arguments, which to elizabeth had appeared weak

and ridiculous, contained much good sense and solid reasoning.

if he had been wavering before as to what he should do, which had often

seemed likely, the advice and entreaty of so near a relation might

settle every doubt, and determine him at once to be as happy as dignity

unblemished could make him. in that case he would return no more. lady

catherine might see him in her way through town; and his engagement to

bingley of coming again to netherfield must give way.

"if, therefore, an excuse for not keeping his promise should come to his

friend within a few days," she added, "i shall know how to understand

it. i shall then give over every expectation, every wish of his

constancy. if he is satisfied with only regretting me, when he might

have obtained my affections and hand, i shall soon cease to regret him

at all."

                          * * * * *

the surprise of the rest of the family, on hearing who their visitor had

been, was very great; but they obligingly satisfied it, with the same

kind of supposition which had appeased mrs. bennet's curiosity; and

elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject.

the next morning, as she was going downstairs, she was met by her

father, who came out of his library with a letter in his hand.

"lizzy," said he, "i was going to look for you; come into my room."

she followed him thither; and her curiosity to know what he had to

tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner

connected with the letter he held. it suddenly struck her that it

might be from lady catherine; and she anticipated with dismay all the

consequent explanations.

she followed her father to the fire place, and they both sat down. he

then said,

"i have received a letter this morning that has astonished me

exceedingly. as it principally concerns yourself, you ought to know its

contents. i did not know before, that i had two daughters on the brink

of matrimony. let me congratulate you on a very important conquest."

the colour now rushed into elizabeth's cheeks in the instantaneous

conviction of its being a letter from the nephew, instead of the aunt;

and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained

himself at all, or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to

herself; when her father continued:

"you look conscious. young ladies have great penetration in such matters

as these; but i think i may defy even _your_ sagacity, to discover the

name of your admirer. this letter is from mr. collins."

"from mr. collins! and what can _he_ have to say?"

"something very much to the purpose of course. he begins with

congratulations on the approaching nuptials of my eldest daughter, of

which, it seems, he has been told by some of the good-natured, gossiping

lucases. i shall not sport with your impatience, by reading what he says

on that point. what relates to yourself, is as follows: 'having thus

offered you the sincere congratulations of mrs. collins and myself on

this happy event, let me now add a short hint on the subject of another;

of which we have been advertised by the same authority. your daughter

elizabeth, it is presumed, will not long bear the name of bennet, after

her elder sister has resigned it, and the chosen partner of her fate may

be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in

this land.'

"can you possibly guess, lizzy, who is meant by this? 'this young

gentleman is blessed, in a peculiar way, with every thing the heart of

mortal can most desire,--splendid property, noble kindred, and extensive

patronage. yet in spite of all these temptations, let me warn my cousin

elizabeth, and yourself, of what evils you may incur by a precipitate

closure with this gentleman's proposals, which, of course, you will be

inclined to take immediate advantage of.'

"have you any idea, lizzy, who this gentleman is? but now it comes out:

"'my motive for cautioning you is as follows. we have reason to imagine

that his aunt, lady catherine de bourgh, does not look on the match with

a friendly eye.'

"_mr. darcy_, you see, is the man! now, lizzy, i think i _have_

surprised you. could he, or the lucases, have pitched on any man within

the circle of our acquaintance, whose name would have given the lie

more effectually to what they related? mr. darcy, who never looks at any

woman but to see a blemish, and who probably never looked at you in his

life! it is admirable!"

elizabeth tried to join in her father's pleasantry, but could only force

one most reluctant smile. never had his wit been directed in a manner so

little agreeable to her.

"are you not diverted?"

"oh! yes. pray read on."

"'after mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last

night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she

felt on the occasion; when it became apparent, that on the score of some

family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her

consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. i thought it my duty

to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and

her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run

hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned.' mr.

collins moreover adds, 'i am truly rejoiced that my cousin lydia's sad

business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their

living together before the marriage took place should be so generally

known. i must not, however, neglect the duties of my station, or refrain

from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young

couple into your house as soon as they were married. it was an

encouragement of vice; and had i been the rector of longbourn, i should

very strenuously have opposed it. you ought certainly to forgive them,

as a christian, but never to admit them in your sight, or allow their

names to be mentioned in your hearing.' that is his notion of christian

forgiveness! the rest of his letter is only about his dear charlotte's

situation, and his expectation of a young olive-branch. but, lizzy, you

look as if you did not enjoy it. you are not going to be _missish_,

i hope, and pretend to be affronted at an idle report. for what do we

live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our

turn?"

"oh!" cried elizabeth, "i am excessively diverted. but it is so

strange!"

"yes--_that_ is what makes it amusing. had they fixed on any other man

it would have been nothing; but _his_ perfect indifference, and _your_

pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd! much as i abominate

writing, i would not give up mr. collins's correspondence for any

consideration. nay, when i read a letter of his, i cannot help giving

him the preference even over wickham, much as i value the impudence and

hypocrisy of my son-in-law. and pray, lizzy, what said lady catherine

about this report? did she call to refuse her consent?"

to this question his daughter replied only with a laugh; and as it had

been asked without the least suspicion, she was not distressed by

his repeating it. elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her

feelings appear what they were not. it was necessary to laugh, when she

would rather have cried. her father had most cruelly mortified her, by

what he said of mr. darcy's indifference, and she could do nothing but

wonder at such a want of penetration, or fear that perhaps, instead of

his seeing too little, she might have fancied too much.

chapter 58

instead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend, as

elizabeth half expected mr. bingley to do, he was able to bring darcy

with him to longbourn before many days had passed after lady catherine's

visit. the gentlemen arrived early; and, before mrs. bennet had time

to tell him of their having seen his aunt, of which her daughter sat

in momentary dread, bingley, who wanted to be alone with jane, proposed

their all walking out. it was agreed to. mrs. bennet was not in the

habit of walking; mary could never spare time; but the remaining five

set off together. bingley and jane, however, soon allowed the others

to outstrip them. they lagged behind, while elizabeth, kitty, and darcy

were to entertain each other. very little was said by either; kitty

was too much afraid of him to talk; elizabeth was secretly forming a

desperate resolution; and perhaps he might be doing the same.

they walked towards the lucases, because kitty wished to call upon

maria; and as elizabeth saw no occasion for making it a general concern,

when kitty left them she went boldly on with him alone. now was the

moment for her resolution to be executed, and, while her courage was

high, she immediately said:

"mr. darcy, i am a very selfish creature; and, for the sake of giving

relief to my own feelings, care not how much i may be wounding yours. i

can no longer help thanking you for your unexampled kindness to my

poor sister. ever since i have known it, i have been most anxious to

acknowledge to you how gratefully i feel it. were it known to the rest

of my family, i should not have merely my own gratitude to express."

"i am sorry, exceedingly sorry," replied darcy, in a tone of surprise

and emotion, "that you have ever been informed of what may, in a

mistaken light, have given you uneasiness. i did not think mrs. gardiner

was so little to be trusted."

"you must not blame my aunt. lydia's thoughtlessness first betrayed to

me that you had been concerned in the matter; and, of course, i could

not rest till i knew the particulars. let me thank you again and again,

in the name of all my family, for that generous compassion which induced

you to take so much trouble, and bear so many mortifications, for the

sake of discovering them."

"if you _will_ thank me," he replied, "let it be for yourself alone.

that the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other

inducements which led me on, i shall not attempt to deny. but your

_family_ owe me nothing. much as i respect them, i believe i thought

only of _you_."

elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word. after a short pause,

her companion added, "you are too generous to trifle with me. if your

feelings are still what they were last april, tell me so at once. _my_

affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence

me on this subject for ever."

elizabeth, feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of

his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not

very fluently, gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone

so material a change, since the period to which he alluded, as to make

her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances. the

happiness which this reply produced, was such as he had probably never

felt before; and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly and as

warmly as a man violently in love can be supposed to do. had elizabeth

been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the

expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him;

but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of

feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his

affection every moment more valuable.

they walked on, without knowing in what direction. there was too much to

be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects. she

soon learnt that they were indebted for their present good understanding

to the efforts of his aunt, who did call on him in her return through

london, and there relate her journey to longbourn, its motive, and the

substance of her conversation with elizabeth; dwelling emphatically on

every expression of the latter which, in her ladyship's apprehension,

peculiarly denoted her perverseness and assurance; in the belief that

such a relation must assist her endeavours to obtain that promise

from her nephew which she had refused to give. but, unluckily for her

ladyship, its effect had been exactly contrariwise.

"it taught me to hope," said he, "as i had scarcely ever allowed myself

to hope before. i knew enough of your disposition to be certain that,

had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have

acknowledged it to lady catherine, frankly and openly."

elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied, "yes, you know enough

of my frankness to believe me capable of _that_. after abusing you so

abominably to your face, i could have no scruple in abusing you to all

your relations."

"what did you say of me, that i did not deserve? for, though your

accusations were ill-founded, formed on mistaken premises, my

behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof. it was

unpardonable. i cannot think of it without abhorrence."

"we will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that

evening," said elizabeth. "the conduct of neither, if strictly examined,

will be irreproachable; but since then, we have both, i hope, improved

in civility."

"i cannot be so easily reconciled to myself. the recollection of what i

then said, of my conduct, my manners, my expressions during the whole of

it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful to me. your

reproof, so well applied, i shall never forget: 'had you behaved in a

more gentlemanlike manner.' those were your words. you know not, you can

scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me;--though it was some time,

i confess, before i was reasonable enough to allow their justice."

"i was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an

impression. i had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such

a way."

"i can easily believe it. you thought me then devoid of every proper

feeling, i am sure you did. the turn of your countenance i shall never

forget, as you said that i could not have addressed you in any possible

way that would induce you to accept me."

"oh! do not repeat what i then said. these recollections will not do at

all. i assure you that i have long been most heartily ashamed of it."

darcy mentioned his letter. "did it," said he, "did it soon make you

think better of me? did you, on reading it, give any credit to its

contents?"

she explained what its effect on her had been, and how gradually all her

former prejudices had been removed.

"i knew," said he, "that what i wrote must give you pain, but it was

necessary. i hope you have destroyed the letter. there was one part

especially, the opening of it, which i should dread your having the

power of reading again. i can remember some expressions which might

justly make you hate me."

"the letter shall certainly be burnt, if you believe it essential to the

preservation of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my

opinions not entirely unalterable, they are not, i hope, quite so easily

changed as that implies."

"when i wrote that letter," replied darcy, "i believed myself perfectly

calm and cool, but i am since convinced that it was written in a

dreadful bitterness of spirit."

"the letter, perhaps, began in bitterness, but it did not end so. the

adieu is charity itself. but think no more of the letter. the feelings

of the person who wrote, and the person who received it, are now

so widely different from what they were then, that every unpleasant

circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten. you must learn some

of my philosophy. think only of the past as its remembrance gives you

pleasure."

"i cannot give you credit for any philosophy of the kind. your

retrospections must be so totally void of reproach, that the contentment

arising from them is not of philosophy, but, what is much better, of

innocence. but with me, it is not so. painful recollections will intrude

which cannot, which ought not, to be repelled. i have been a selfish

being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. as a child i

was taught what was right, but i was not taught to correct my temper. i

was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.

unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), i was spoilt

by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all

that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught

me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family

circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least

to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. such i

was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such i might still have been

but for you, dearest, loveliest elizabeth! what do i not owe you! you

taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. by you,

i was properly humbled. i came to you without a doubt of my reception.

you showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman

worthy of being pleased."

"had you then persuaded yourself that i should?"

"indeed i had. what will you think of my vanity? i believed you to be

wishing, expecting my addresses."

"my manners must have been in fault, but not intentionally, i assure

you. i never meant to deceive you, but my spirits might often lead me

wrong. how you must have hated me after _that_ evening?"

"hate you! i was angry perhaps at first, but my anger soon began to take

a proper direction."

"i am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me, when we met at

pemberley. you blamed me for coming?"

"no indeed; i felt nothing but surprise."

"your surprise could not be greater than _mine_ in being noticed by you.

my conscience told me that i deserved no extraordinary politeness, and i

confess that i did not expect to receive _more_ than my due."

"my object then," replied darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in

my power, that i was not so mean as to resent the past; and i hoped to

obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you

see that your reproofs had been attended to. how soon any other wishes

introduced themselves i can hardly tell, but i believe in about half an

hour after i had seen you."

he then told her of georgiana's delight in her acquaintance, and of her

disappointment at its sudden interruption; which naturally leading to

the cause of that interruption, she soon learnt that his resolution of

following her from derbyshire in quest of her sister had been formed

before he quitted the inn, and that his gravity and thoughtfulness

there had arisen from no other struggles than what such a purpose must

comprehend.

she expressed her gratitude again, but it was too painful a subject to

each, to be dwelt on farther.

after walking several miles in a leisurely manner, and too busy to know

anything about it, they found at last, on examining their watches, that

it was time to be at home.

"what could become of mr. bingley and jane!" was a wonder which

introduced the discussion of their affairs. darcy was delighted with

their engagement; his friend had given him the earliest information of

it.

"i must ask whether you were surprised?" said elizabeth.

"not at all. when i went away, i felt that it would soon happen."

"that is to say, you had given your permission. i guessed as much." and

though he exclaimed at the term, she found that it had been pretty much

the case.

"on the evening before my going to london," said he, "i made a

confession to him, which i believe i ought to have made long ago. i

told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference in his

affairs absurd and impertinent. his surprise was great. he had never had

the slightest suspicion. i told him, moreover, that i believed myself

mistaken in supposing, as i had done, that your sister was indifferent

to him; and as i could easily perceive that his attachment to her was

unabated, i felt no doubt of their happiness together."

elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing his

friend.

"did you speak from your own observation," said she, "when you told him

that my sister loved him, or merely from my information last spring?"

"from the former. i had narrowly observed her during the two visits

which i had lately made here; and i was convinced of her affection."

"and your assurance of it, i suppose, carried immediate conviction to

him."

"it did. bingley is most unaffectedly modest. his diffidence had

prevented his depending on his own judgment in so anxious a case, but

his reliance on mine made every thing easy. i was obliged to confess

one thing, which for a time, and not unjustly, offended him. i could not

allow myself to conceal that your sister had been in town three months

last winter, that i had known it, and purposely kept it from him. he was

angry. but his anger, i am persuaded, lasted no longer than he remained

in any doubt of your sister's sentiments. he has heartily forgiven me

now."

elizabeth longed to observe that mr. bingley had been a most delightful

friend; so easily guided that his worth was invaluable; but she checked

herself. she remembered that he had yet to learn to be laughed at,

and it was rather too early to begin. in anticipating the happiness

of bingley, which of course was to be inferior only to his own, he

continued the conversation till they reached the house. in the hall they

parted.

chapter 59

"my dear lizzy, where can you have been walking to?" was a question

which elizabeth received from jane as soon as she entered their room,

and from all the others when they sat down to table. she had only to

say in reply, that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her own

knowledge. she coloured as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything

else, awakened a suspicion of the truth.

the evening passed quietly, unmarked by anything extraordinary. the

acknowledged lovers talked and laughed, the unacknowledged were silent.

darcy was not of a disposition in which happiness overflows in mirth;

and elizabeth, agitated and confused, rather _knew_ that she was happy

than _felt_ herself to be so; for, besides the immediate embarrassment,

there were other evils before her. she anticipated what would be felt

in the family when her situation became known; she was aware that no

one liked him but jane; and even feared that with the others it was a

dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away.

at night she opened her heart to jane. though suspicion was very far

from miss bennet's general habits, she was absolutely incredulous here.

"you are joking, lizzy. this cannot be!--engaged to mr. darcy! no, no,

you shall not deceive me. i know it to be impossible."

"this is a wretched beginning indeed! my sole dependence was on you; and

i am sure nobody else will believe me, if you do not. yet, indeed, i am

in earnest. i speak nothing but the truth. he still loves me, and we are

engaged."

jane looked at her doubtingly. "oh, lizzy! it cannot be. i know how much

you dislike him."

"you know nothing of the matter. _that_ is all to be forgot. perhaps i

did not always love him so well as i do now. but in such cases as

these, a good memory is unpardonable. this is the last time i shall ever

remember it myself."

miss bennet still looked all amazement. elizabeth again, and more

seriously assured her of its truth.

"good heaven! can it be really so! yet now i must believe you," cried

jane. "my dear, dear lizzy, i would--i do congratulate you--but are you

certain? forgive the question--are you quite certain that you can be

happy with him?"

"there can be no doubt of that. it is settled between us already, that

we are to be the happiest couple in the world. but are you pleased,

jane? shall you like to have such a brother?"

"very, very much. nothing could give either bingley or myself more

delight. but we considered it, we talked of it as impossible. and do you

really love him quite well enough? oh, lizzy! do anything rather than

marry without affection. are you quite sure that you feel what you ought

to do?"

"oh, yes! you will only think i feel _more_ than i ought to do, when i

tell you all."

"what do you mean?"

"why, i must confess that i love him better than i do bingley. i am

afraid you will be angry."

"my dearest sister, now _be_ serious. i want to talk very seriously. let

me know every thing that i am to know, without delay. will you tell me

how long you have loved him?"

"it has been coming on so gradually, that i hardly know when it began.

but i believe i must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds

at pemberley."

another entreaty that she would be serious, however, produced the

desired effect; and she soon satisfied jane by her solemn assurances

of attachment. when convinced on that article, miss bennet had nothing

further to wish.

"now i am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself.

i always had a value for him. were it for nothing but his love of you,

i must always have esteemed him; but now, as bingley's friend and your

husband, there can be only bingley and yourself more dear to me. but

lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved with me. how little did you

tell me of what passed at pemberley and lambton! i owe all that i know

of it to another, not to you."

elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy. she had been unwilling

to mention bingley; and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made

her equally avoid the name of his friend. but now she would no longer

conceal from her his share in lydia's marriage. all was acknowledged,

and half the night spent in conversation.

                          * * * * *

"good gracious!" cried mrs. bennet, as she stood at a window the next

morning, "if that disagreeable mr. darcy is not coming here again with

our dear bingley! what can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always

coming here? i had no notion but he would go a-shooting, or something or

other, and not disturb us with his company. what shall we do with him?

lizzy, you must walk out with him again, that he may not be in bingley's

way."

elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal; yet

was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an

epithet.

as soon as they entered, bingley looked at her so expressively, and

shook hands with such warmth, as left no doubt of his good information;

and he soon afterwards said aloud, "mrs. bennet, have you no more lanes

hereabouts in which lizzy may lose her way again to-day?"

"i advise mr. darcy, and lizzy, and kitty," said mrs. bennet, "to walk

to oakham mount this morning. it is a nice long walk, and mr. darcy has

never seen the view."

"it may do very well for the others," replied mr. bingley; "but i am

sure it will be too much for kitty. won't it, kitty?" kitty owned that

she had rather stay at home. darcy professed a great curiosity to see

the view from the mount, and elizabeth silently consented. as she went

up stairs to get ready, mrs. bennet followed her, saying:

"i am quite sorry, lizzy, that you should be forced to have that

disagreeable man all to yourself. but i hope you will not mind it: it is

all for jane's sake, you know; and there is no occasion for talking

to him, except just now and then. so, do not put yourself to

inconvenience."

during their walk, it was resolved that mr. bennet's consent should be

asked in the course of the evening. elizabeth reserved to herself the

application for her mother's. she could not determine how her mother

would take it; sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur

would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man. but whether she

were violently set against the match, or violently delighted with it, it

was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit

to her sense; and she could no more bear that mr. darcy should hear

the first raptures of her joy, than the first vehemence of her

disapprobation.

                          * * * * *

in the evening, soon after mr. bennet withdrew to the library, she saw

mr. darcy rise also and follow him, and her agitation on seeing it was

extreme. she did not fear her father's opposition, but he was going to

be made unhappy; and that it should be through her means--that _she_,

his favourite child, should be distressing him by her choice, should be

filling him with fears and regrets in disposing of her--was a wretched

reflection, and she sat in misery till mr. darcy appeared again, when,

looking at him, she was a little relieved by his smile. in a few minutes

he approached the table where she was sitting with kitty; and, while

pretending to admire her work said in a whisper, "go to your father, he

wants you in the library." she was gone directly.

her father was walking about the room, looking grave and anxious.

"lizzy," said he, "what are you doing? are you out of your senses, to be

accepting this man? have not you always hated him?"

how earnestly did she then wish that her former opinions had been more

reasonable, her expressions more moderate! it would have spared her from

explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give;

but they were now necessary, and she assured him, with some confusion,

of her attachment to mr. darcy.

"or, in other words, you are determined to have him. he is rich, to be

sure, and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than jane.

but will they make you happy?"

"have you any other objection," said elizabeth, "than your belief of my

indifference?"

"none at all. we all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but

this would be nothing if you really liked him."

"i do, i do like him," she replied, with tears in her eyes, "i love him.

indeed he has no improper pride. he is perfectly amiable. you do not

know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in

such terms."

"lizzy," said her father, "i have given him my consent. he is the kind

of man, indeed, to whom i should never dare refuse anything, which he

condescended to ask. i now give it to _you_, if you are resolved on

having him. but let me advise you to think better of it. i know

your disposition, lizzy. i know that you could be neither happy nor

respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband; unless you looked

up to him as a superior. your lively talents would place you in the

greatest danger in an unequal marriage. you could scarcely escape

discredit and misery. my child, let me not have the grief of seeing

_you_ unable to respect your partner in life. you know not what you are

about."

elizabeth, still more affected, was earnest and solemn in her reply; and

at length, by repeated assurances that mr. darcy was really the object

of her choice, by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of

him had undergone, relating her absolute certainty that his affection

was not the work of a day, but had stood the test of many months'

suspense, and enumerating with energy all his good qualities, she did

conquer her father's incredulity, and reconcile him to the match.

"well, my dear," said he, when she ceased speaking, "i have no more to

say. if this be the case, he deserves you. i could not have parted with

you, my lizzy, to anyone less worthy."

to complete the favourable impression, she then told him what mr. darcy

had voluntarily done for lydia. he heard her with astonishment.

"this is an evening of wonders, indeed! and so, darcy did every thing;

made up the match, gave the money, paid the fellow's debts, and got him

his commission! so much the better. it will save me a world of trouble

and economy. had it been your uncle's doing, i must and _would_ have

paid him; but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own

way. i shall offer to pay him to-morrow; he will rant and storm about

his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter."

he then recollected her embarrassment a few days before, on his reading

mr. collins's letter; and after laughing at her some time, allowed her

at last to go--saying, as she quitted the room, "if any young men come

for mary or kitty, send them in, for i am quite at leisure."

elizabeth's mind was now relieved from a very heavy weight; and, after

half an hour's quiet reflection in her own room, she was able to join

the others with tolerable composure. every thing was too recent for

gaiety, but the evening passed tranquilly away; there was no longer

anything material to be dreaded, and the comfort of ease and familiarity

would come in time.

when her mother went up to her dressing-room at night, she followed her,

and made the important communication. its effect was most extraordinary;

for on first hearing it, mrs. bennet sat quite still, and unable to

utter a syllable. nor was it under many, many minutes that she could

comprehend what she heard; though not in general backward to credit

what was for the advantage of her family, or that came in the shape of a

lover to any of them. she began at length to recover, to fidget about in

her chair, get up, sit down again, wonder, and bless herself.

"good gracious! lord bless me! only think! dear me! mr. darcy! who would

have thought it! and is it really true? oh! my sweetest lizzy! how rich

and how great you will be! what pin-money, what jewels, what carriages

you will have! jane's is nothing to it--nothing at all. i am so

pleased--so happy. such a charming man!--so handsome! so tall!--oh, my

dear lizzy! pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before. i

hope he will overlook it. dear, dear lizzy. a house in town! every thing

that is charming! three daughters married! ten thousand a year! oh,

lord! what will become of me. i shall go distracted."

this was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted: and

elizabeth, rejoicing that such an effusion was heard only by herself,

soon went away. but before she had been three minutes in her own room,

her mother followed her.

"my dearest child," she cried, "i can think of nothing else! ten

thousand a year, and very likely more! 'tis as good as a lord! and a

special licence. you must and shall be married by a special licence. but

my dearest love, tell me what dish mr. darcy is particularly fond of,

that i may have it to-morrow."

this was a sad omen of what her mother's behaviour to the gentleman

himself might be; and elizabeth found that, though in the certain

possession of his warmest affection, and secure of her relations'

consent, there was still something to be wished for. but the morrow

passed off much better than she expected; for mrs. bennet luckily stood

in such awe of her intended son-in-law that she ventured not to speak to

him, unless it was in her power to offer him any attention, or mark her

deference for his opinion.

elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get

acquainted with him; and mr. bennet soon assured her that he was rising

every hour in his esteem.

"i admire all my three sons-in-law highly," said he. "wickham, perhaps,

is my favourite; but i think i shall like _your_ husband quite as well

as jane's."

chapter 60

elizabeth's spirits soon rising to playfulness again, she wanted mr.

darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her. "how could

you begin?" said she. "i can comprehend your going on charmingly, when

you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first

place?"

"i cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which

laid the foundation. it is too long ago. i was in the middle before i

knew that i _had_ begun."

"my beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners--my behaviour

to _you_ was at least always bordering on the uncivil, and i never spoke

to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not. now be sincere;

did you admire me for my impertinence?"

"for the liveliness of your mind, i did."

"you may as well call it impertinence at once. it was very little less.

the fact is, that you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious

attention. you were disgusted with the women who were always speaking,

and looking, and thinking for _your_ approbation alone. i roused, and

interested you, because i was so unlike _them_. had you not been really

amiable, you would have hated me for it; but in spite of the pains you

took to disguise yourself, your feelings were always noble and just; and

in your heart, you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously

courted you. there--i have saved you the trouble of accounting for

it; and really, all things considered, i begin to think it perfectly

reasonable. to be sure, you knew no actual good of me--but nobody thinks

of _that_ when they fall in love."

"was there no good in your affectionate behaviour to jane while she was

ill at netherfield?"

"dearest jane! who could have done less for her? but make a virtue of it

by all means. my good qualities are under your protection, and you are

to exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me

to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may

be; and i shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling

to come to the point at last. what made you so shy of me, when you first

called, and afterwards dined here? why, especially, when you called, did

you look as if you did not care about me?"

"because you were grave and silent, and gave me no encouragement."

"but i was embarrassed."

"and so was i."

"you might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."

"a man who had felt less, might."

"how unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give, and that

i should be so reasonable as to admit it! but i wonder how long you

_would_ have gone on, if you had been left to yourself. i wonder when

you _would_ have spoken, if i had not asked you! my resolution of

thanking you for your kindness to lydia had certainly great effect.

_too much_, i am afraid; for what becomes of the moral, if our comfort

springs from a breach of promise? for i ought not to have mentioned the

subject. this will never do."

"you need not distress yourself. the moral will be perfectly fair. lady

catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of

removing all my doubts. i am not indebted for my present happiness to

your eager desire of expressing your gratitude. i was not in a humour

to wait for any opening of yours. my aunt's intelligence had given me

hope, and i was determined at once to know every thing."

"lady catherine has been of infinite use, which ought to make her happy,

for she loves to be of use. but tell me, what did you come down to

netherfield for? was it merely to ride to longbourn and be embarrassed?

or had you intended any more serious consequence?"

"my real purpose was to see _you_, and to judge, if i could, whether i

might ever hope to make you love me. my avowed one, or what i avowed to

myself, was to see whether your sister were still partial to bingley,

and if she were, to make the confession to him which i have since made."

"shall you ever have courage to announce to lady catherine what is to

befall her?"

"i am more likely to want more time than courage, elizabeth. but it

ought to be done, and if you will give me a sheet of paper, it shall be

done directly."

"and if i had not a letter to write myself, i might sit by you and

admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. but

i have an aunt, too, who must not be longer neglected."

from an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with mr. darcy

had been over-rated, elizabeth had never yet answered mrs. gardiner's

long letter; but now, having _that_ to communicate which she knew would

be most welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and

aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and immediately wrote as

follows:

"i would have thanked you before, my dear aunt, as i ought to have done,

for your long, kind, satisfactory, detail of particulars; but to say the

truth, i was too cross to write. you supposed more than really existed.

but _now_ suppose as much as you choose; give a loose rein to your

fancy, indulge your imagination in every possible flight which the

subject will afford, and unless you believe me actually married, you

cannot greatly err. you must write again very soon, and praise him a

great deal more than you did in your last. i thank you, again and again,

for not going to the lakes. how could i be so silly as to wish it! your

idea of the ponies is delightful. we will go round the park every day. i

am the happiest creature in the world. perhaps other people have said so

before, but not one with such justice. i am happier even than jane; she

only smiles, i laugh. mr. darcy sends you all the love in the world that

he can spare from me. you are all to come to pemberley at christmas.

yours, etc."

mr. darcy's letter to lady catherine was in a different style; and still

different from either was what mr. bennet sent to mr. collins, in reply

to his last.

"dear sir,

"i must trouble you once more for congratulations. elizabeth will soon

be the wife of mr. darcy. console lady catherine as well as you can.

but, if i were you, i would stand by the nephew. he has more to give.

"yours sincerely, etc."

miss bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching

marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere. she wrote even

to jane on the occasion, to express her delight, and repeat all her

former professions of regard. jane was not deceived, but she was

affected; and though feeling no reliance on her, could not help writing

her a much kinder answer than she knew was deserved.

the joy which miss darcy expressed on receiving similar information,

was as sincere as her brother's in sending it. four sides of paper were

insufficient to contain all her delight, and all her earnest desire of

being loved by her sister.

before any answer could arrive from mr. collins, or any congratulations

to elizabeth from his wife, the longbourn family heard that the

collinses were come themselves to lucas lodge. the reason of this

sudden removal was soon evident. lady catherine had been rendered

so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephew's letter, that

charlotte, really rejoicing in the match, was anxious to get away till

the storm was blown over. at such a moment, the arrival of her friend

was a sincere pleasure to elizabeth, though in the course of their

meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought, when she

saw mr. darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of

her husband. he bore it, however, with admirable calmness. he could even

listen to sir william lucas, when he complimented him on carrying away

the brightest jewel of the country, and expressed his hopes of their all

meeting frequently at st. james's, with very decent composure. if he did

shrug his shoulders, it was not till sir william was out of sight.

mrs. phillips's vulgarity was another, and perhaps a greater, tax on his

forbearance; and though mrs. phillips, as well as her sister, stood in

too much awe of him to speak with the familiarity which bingley's good

humour encouraged, yet, whenever she _did_ speak, she must be vulgar.

nor was her respect for him, though it made her more quiet, at all

likely to make her more elegant. elizabeth did all she could to shield

him from the frequent notice of either, and was ever anxious to keep

him to herself, and to those of her family with whom he might converse

without mortification; and though the uncomfortable feelings arising

from all this took from the season of courtship much of its pleasure, it

added to the hope of the future; and she looked forward with delight to

the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing

to either, to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at

pemberley.

chapter 61

happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which mrs. bennet got

rid of her two most deserving daughters. with what delighted pride

she afterwards visited mrs. bingley, and talked of mrs. darcy, may

be guessed. i wish i could say, for the sake of her family, that the

accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many

of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible,

amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it

was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity

in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and

invariably silly.

mr. bennet missed his second daughter exceedingly; his affection for her

drew him oftener from home than anything else could do. he delighted in

going to pemberley, especially when he was least expected.

mr. bingley and jane remained at netherfield only a twelvemonth. so near

a vicinity to her mother and meryton relations was not desirable even to

_his_ easy temper, or _her_ affectionate heart. the darling wish of his

sisters was then gratified; he bought an estate in a neighbouring county

to derbyshire, and jane and elizabeth, in addition to every other source

of happiness, were within thirty miles of each other.

kitty, to her very material advantage, spent the chief of her time with

her two elder sisters. in society so superior to what she had generally

known, her improvement was great. she was not of so ungovernable a

temper as lydia; and, removed from the influence of lydia's example,

she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less

ignorant, and less insipid. from the further disadvantage of lydia's

society she was of course carefully kept, and though mrs. wickham

frequently invited her to come and stay with her, with the promise of

balls and young men, her father would never consent to her going.

mary was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily

drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by mrs. bennet's being quite

unable to sit alone. mary was obliged to mix more with the world, but

she could still moralize over every morning visit; and as she was no

longer mortified by comparisons between her sisters' beauty and her own,

it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without

much reluctance.

as for wickham and lydia, their characters suffered no revolution from

the marriage of her sisters. he bore with philosophy the conviction that

elizabeth must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude

and falsehood had before been unknown to her; and in spite of every

thing, was not wholly without hope that darcy might yet be prevailed on

to make his fortune. the congratulatory letter which elizabeth received

from lydia on her marriage, explained to her that, by his wife at least,

if not by himself, such a hope was cherished. the letter was to this

effect:

"my dear lizzy,

"i wish you joy. if you love mr. darcy half as well as i do my dear

wickham, you must be very happy. it is a great comfort to have you so

rich, and when you have nothing else to do, i hope you will think of us.

i am sure wickham would like a place at court very much, and i do not

think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help.

any place would do, of about three or four hundred a year; but however,

do not speak to mr. darcy about it, if you had rather not.

"yours, etc."

as it happened that elizabeth had _much_ rather not, she endeavoured in

her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind.

such relief, however, as it was in her power to afford, by the practice

of what might be called economy in her own private expences, she

frequently sent them. it had always been evident to her that such an

income as theirs, under the direction of two persons so extravagant in

their wants, and heedless of the future, must be very insufficient to

their support; and whenever they changed their quarters, either jane or

herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance

towards discharging their bills. their manner of living, even when the

restoration of peace dismissed them to a home, was unsettled in the

extreme. they were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap

situation, and always spending more than they ought. his affection for

her soon sunk into indifference; hers lasted a little longer; and

in spite of her youth and her manners, she retained all the claims to

reputation which her marriage had given her.

though darcy could never receive _him_ at pemberley, yet, for

elizabeth's sake, he assisted him further in his profession. lydia was

occasionally a visitor there, when her husband was gone to enjoy himself

in london or bath; and with the bingleys they both of them frequently

staid so long, that even bingley's good humour was overcome, and he

proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.

miss bingley was very deeply mortified by darcy's marriage; but as she

thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at pemberley, she

dropt all her resentment; was fonder than ever of georgiana, almost as

attentive to darcy as heretofore, and paid off every arrear of civility

to elizabeth.

pemberley was now georgiana's home; and the attachment of the sisters

was exactly what darcy had hoped to see. they were able to love each

other even as well as they intended. georgiana had the highest opinion

in the world of elizabeth; though at first she often listened with

an astonishment bordering on alarm at her lively, sportive, manner of

talking to her brother. he, who had always inspired in herself a respect

which almost overcame her affection, she now saw the object of open

pleasantry. her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen

in her way. by elizabeth's instructions, she began to comprehend that

a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not

always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself.

lady catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew;

and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in

her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement, she sent him

language so very abusive, especially of elizabeth, that for some time

all intercourse was at an end. but at length, by elizabeth's persuasion,

he was prevailed on to overlook the offence, and seek a reconciliation;

and, after a little further resistance on the part of his aunt, her

resentment gave way, either to her affection for him, or her curiosity

to see how his wife conducted herself; and she condescended to wait

on them at pemberley, in spite of that pollution which its woods had

received, not merely from the presence of such a mistress, but the

visits of her uncle and aunt from the city.

with the gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms.

darcy, as well as elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever

sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing

her into derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.

pride and prejudice

by jane austen

chapter 1

it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession

of a good fortune must be in want of a wife

however little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his

first entering a neighbourhood this truth is so well fixed in the minds

of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property

of some one or other of their daughters

my dear mr bennet said his lady to him one day have you heard that

netherfield park is let at last

mr bennet replied that he had not

but it is returned she for mrs long has just been here and she

told me all about it

mr bennet made no answer

do you not want to know who has taken it cried his wife impatiently

you want to tell me and i have no objection to hearing it

this was invitation enough

why my dear you must know mrs long says that netherfield is taken

by a young man of large fortune from the north of england that he came

down on monday in a chaise and four to see the place and was so much

delighted with it that he agreed with mr morris immediately that he

is to take possession before michaelmas and some of his servants are to

be in the house by the end of next week

what is his name

bingley

is he married or single

oh single my dear to be sure a single man of large fortune four or

five thousand a year what a fine thing for our girls

how so how can it affect them

my dear mr bennet replied his wife how can you be so tiresome you

must know that i am thinking of his marrying one of them

is that his design in settling here

design nonsense how can you talk so but it is very likely that he

may fall in love with one of them and therefore you must visit him as

soon as he comes

i see no occasion for that you and the girls may go or you may send

them by themselves which perhaps will be still better for as you are

as handsome as any of them mr bingley may like you the best of the

party

my dear you flatter me i certainly have had my share of beauty but

i do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now when a woman has five

grownup daughters she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty

in such cases a woman has not often much beauty to think of

but my dear you must indeed go and see mr bingley when he comes into

the neighbourhood

it is more than i engage for i assure you

but consider your daughters only think what an establishment it would

be for one of them sir william and lady lucas are determined to

go merely on that account for in general you know they visit no

newcomers indeed you must go for it will be impossible for us to

visit him if you do not

you are overscrupulous surely i dare say mr bingley will be very

glad to see you and i will send a few lines by you to assure him of my

hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls though

i must throw in a good word for my little lizzy

i desire you will do no such thing lizzy is not a bit better than the

others and i am sure she is not half so handsome as jane nor half so

goodhumoured as lydia but you are always giving her the preference

they have none of them much to recommend them replied he they are

all silly and ignorant like other girls but lizzy has something more of

quickness than her sisters

mr bennet how can you abuse your own children in such a way you

take delight in vexing me you have no compassion for my poor nerves

you mistake me my dear i have a high respect for your nerves they

are my old friends i have heard you mention them with consideration

these last twenty years at least

ah you do not know what i suffer

but i hope you will get over it and live to see many young men of four

thousand a year come into the neighbourhood

it will be no use to us if twenty such should come since you will not

visit them

depend upon it my dear that when there are twenty i will visit them

all

mr bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts sarcastic humour

reserve and caprice that the experience of threeandtwenty years had

been insufficient to make his wife understand his character her mind

was less difficult to develop she was a woman of mean understanding

little information and uncertain temper when she was discontented

she fancied herself nervous the business of her life was to get her

daughters married its solace was visiting and news

chapter 2

mr bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on mr bingley he

had always intended to visit him though to the last always assuring

his wife that he should not go and till the evening after the visit was

paid she had no knowledge of it it was then disclosed in the following

manner observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat he

suddenly addressed her with

i hope mr bingley will like it lizzy

we are not in a way to know what mr bingley likes said her mother

resentfully since we are not to visit

but you forget mamma said elizabeth that we shall meet him at the

assemblies and that mrs long promised to introduce him

i do not believe mrs long will do any such thing she has two nieces

of her own she is a selfish hypocritical woman and i have no opinion

of her

no more have i said mr bennet and i am glad to find that you do

not depend on her serving you

mrs bennet deigned not to make any reply but unable to contain

herself began scolding one of her daughters

dont keep coughing so kitty for heavens sake have a little

compassion on my nerves you tear them to pieces

kitty has no discretion in her coughs said her father she times

them ill

i do not cough for my own amusement replied kitty fretfully when is

your next ball to be lizzy

tomorrow fortnight

aye so it is cried her mother and mrs long does not come back

till the day before so it will be impossible for her to introduce him

for she will not know him herself

then my dear you may have the advantage of your friend and introduce

mr bingley to her

impossible mr bennet impossible when i am not acquainted with him

myself how can you be so teasing

i honour your circumspection a fortnights acquaintance is certainly

very little one cannot know what a man really is by the end of a

fortnight but if we do not venture somebody else will and after all

mrs long and her neices must stand their chance and therefore as

she will think it an act of kindness if you decline the office i will

take it on myself

the girls stared at their father mrs bennet said only nonsense

nonsense

what can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation cried he do

you consider the forms of introduction and the stress that is laid on

them as nonsense i cannot quite agree with you there what say you

mary for you are a young lady of deep reflection i know and read

great books and make extracts

mary wished to say something sensible but knew not how

while mary is adjusting her ideas he continued let us return to mr

bingley

i am sick of mr bingley cried his wife

i am sorry to hear that but why did not you tell me that before if

i had known as much this morning i certainly would not have called

on him it is very unlucky but as i have actually paid the visit we

cannot escape the acquaintance now

the astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished that of mrs

bennet perhaps surpassing the rest though when the first tumult of joy

was over she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the

while

how good it was in you my dear mr bennet but i knew i should

persuade you at last i was sure you loved your girls too well to

neglect such an acquaintance well how pleased i am and it is such a

good joke too that you should have gone this morning and never said a

word about it till now

now kitty you may cough as much as you choose said mr bennet and

as he spoke he left the room fatigued with the raptures of his wife

what an excellent father you have girls said she when the door was

shut i do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness

or me either for that matter at our time of life it is not so

pleasant i can tell you to be making new acquaintances every day but

for your sakes we would do anything lydia my love though you are

the youngest i dare say mr bingley will dance with you at the next

ball

oh said lydia stoutly i am not afraid for though i am the

youngest im the tallest

the rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would

return mr bennets visit and determining when they should ask him to

dinner

chapter 3

not all that mrs bennet however with the assistance of her five

daughters could ask on the subject was sufficient to draw from her

husband any satisfactory description of mr bingley they attacked him

in various wayswith barefaced questions ingenious suppositions and

distant surmises but he eluded the skill of them all and they were at

last obliged to accept the secondhand intelligence of their neighbour

lady lucas her report was highly favourable sir william had been

delighted with him he was quite young wonderfully handsome extremely

agreeable and to crown the whole he meant to be at the next assembly

with a large party nothing could be more delightful to be fond of

dancing was a certain step towards falling in love and very lively

hopes of mr bingleys heart were entertained

if i can but see one of my daughters happily settled at netherfield

said mrs bennet to her husband and all the others equally well

married i shall have nothing to wish for

in a few days mr bingley returned mr bennets visit and sat about

ten minutes with him in his library he had entertained hopes of being

admitted to a sight of the young ladies of whose beauty he had

heard much but he saw only the father the ladies were somewhat more

fortunate for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper

window that he wore a blue coat and rode a black horse

an invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched and already

had mrs bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her

housekeeping when an answer arrived which deferred it all mr bingley

was obliged to be in town the following day and consequently unable

to accept the honour of their invitation etc mrs bennet was quite

disconcerted she could not imagine what business he could have in town

so soon after his arrival in hertfordshire and she began to fear that

he might be always flying about from one place to another and never

settled at netherfield as he ought to be lady lucas quieted her fears

a little by starting the idea of his being gone to london only to get

a large party for the ball and a report soon followed that mr bingley

was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly

the girls grieved over such a number of ladies but were comforted the

day before the ball by hearing that instead of twelve he brought only

six with him from londonhis five sisters and a cousin and when

the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five

altogethermr bingley his two sisters the husband of the eldest and

another young man

mr bingley was goodlooking and gentlemanlike he had a pleasant

countenance and easy unaffected manners his sisters were fine women

with an air of decided fashion his brotherinlaw mr hurst merely

looked the gentleman but his friend mr darcy soon drew the attention

of the room by his fine tall person handsome features noble mien and

the report which was in general circulation within five minutes

after his entrance of his having ten thousand a year the gentlemen

pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man the ladies declared he

was much handsomer than mr bingley and he was looked at with great

admiration for about half the evening till his manners gave a disgust

which turned the tide of his popularity for he was discovered to be

proud to be above his company and above being pleased and not all

his large estate in derbyshire could then save him from having a most

forbidding disagreeable countenance and being unworthy to be compared

with his friend

mr bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal

people in the room he was lively and unreserved danced every dance

was angry that the ball closed so early and talked of giving

one himself at netherfield such amiable qualities must speak for

themselves what a contrast between him and his friend mr darcy danced

only once with mrs hurst and once with miss bingley declined being

introduced to any other lady and spent the rest of the evening in

walking about the room speaking occasionally to one of his own party

his character was decided he was the proudest most disagreeable man

in the world and everybody hoped that he would never come there again

amongst the most violent against him was mrs bennet whose dislike of

his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his

having slighted one of her daughters

elizabeth bennet had been obliged by the scarcity of gentlemen to sit

down for two dances and during part of that time mr darcy had been

standing near enough for her to hear a conversation between him and mr

bingley who came from the dance for a few minutes to press his friend

to join it

come darcy said he i must have you dance i hate to see you

standing about by yourself in this stupid manner you had much better

dance

i certainly shall not you know how i detest it unless i am

particularly acquainted with my partner at such an assembly as this

it would be insupportable your sisters are engaged and there is not

another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to

stand up with

i would not be so fastidious as you are cried mr bingley for a

kingdom upon my honour i never met with so many pleasant girls in

my life as i have this evening and there are several of them you see

uncommonly pretty

you are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room said mr

darcy looking at the eldest miss bennet

oh she is the most beautiful creature i ever beheld but there is one

of her sisters sitting down just behind you who is very pretty and i

dare say very agreeable do let me ask my partner to introduce you

which do you mean and turning round he looked for a moment at

elizabeth till catching her eye he withdrew his own and coldly said

she is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me i am in no

humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted

by other men you had better return to your partner and enjoy her

smiles for you are wasting your time with me

mr bingley followed his advice mr darcy walked off and elizabeth

remained with no very cordial feelings toward him she told the story

however with great spirit among her friends for she had a lively

playful disposition which delighted in anything ridiculous

the evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family mrs

bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the netherfield

party mr bingley had danced with her twice and she had been

distinguished by his sisters jane was as much gratified by this as

her mother could be though in a quieter way elizabeth felt janes

pleasure mary had heard herself mentioned to miss bingley as the most

accomplished girl in the neighbourhood and catherine and lydia had been

fortunate enough never to be without partners which was all that they

had yet learnt to care for at a ball they returned therefore in good

spirits to longbourn the village where they lived and of which they

were the principal inhabitants they found mr bennet still up with

a book he was regardless of time and on the present occasion he had a

good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised

such splendid expectations he had rather hoped that his wifes views on

the stranger would be disappointed but he soon found out that he had a

different story to hear

oh my dear mr bennet as she entered the room we have had a most

delightful evening a most excellent ball i wish you had been there

jane was so admired nothing could be like it everybody said how well

she looked and mr bingley thought her quite beautiful and danced with

her twice only think of that my dear he actually danced with her

twice and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second

time first of all he asked miss lucas i was so vexed to see him stand

up with her but however he did not admire her at all indeed nobody

can you know and he seemed quite struck with jane as she was going

down the dance so he inquired who she was and got introduced and

asked her for the two next then the two third he danced with miss king

and the two fourth with maria lucas and the two fifth with jane again

and the two sixth with lizzy and the boulanger

if he had had any compassion for me cried her husband impatiently

he would not have danced half so much for gods sake say no more of

his partners oh that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance

oh my dear i am quite delighted with him he is so excessively

handsome and his sisters are charming women i never in my life saw

anything more elegant than their dresses i dare say the lace upon mrs

hursts gown

here she was interrupted again mr bennet protested against any

description of finery she was therefore obliged to seek another branch

of the subject and related with much bitterness of spirit and some

exaggeration the shocking rudeness of mr darcy

but i can assure you she added that lizzy does not lose much by not

suiting his fancy for he is a most disagreeable horrid man not at

all worth pleasing so high and so conceited that there was no enduring

him he walked here and he walked there fancying himself so very

great not handsome enough to dance with i wish you had been there my

dear to have given him one of your setdowns i quite detest the man

chapter 4

when jane and elizabeth were alone the former who had been cautious in

her praise of mr bingley before expressed to her sister just how very

much she admired him

he is just what a young man ought to be said she sensible

goodhumoured lively and i never saw such happy mannersso much

ease with such perfect good breeding

he is also handsome replied elizabeth which a young man ought

likewise to be if he possibly can his character is thereby complete

i was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time i

did not expect such a compliment

did not you i did for you but that is one great difference between

us compliments always take you by surprise and me never what

could be more natural than his asking you again he could not help

seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman

in the room no thanks to his gallantry for that well he certainly is

very agreeable and i give you leave to like him you have liked many a

stupider person

dear lizzy

oh you are a great deal too apt you know to like people in general

you never see a fault in anybody all the world are good and agreeable

in your eyes i never heard you speak ill of a human being in your

life

i would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone but i always speak

what i think

i know you do and it is that which makes the wonder with your

good sense to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of

others affectation of candour is common enoughone meets with it

everywhere but to be candid without ostentation or designto take the

good of everybodys character and make it still better and say nothing

of the badbelongs to you alone and so you like this mans sisters

too do you their manners are not equal to his

certainly notat first but they are very pleasing women when you

converse with them miss bingley is to live with her brother and keep

his house and i am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming

neighbour in her

elizabeth listened in silence but was not convinced their behaviour at

the assembly had not been calculated to please in general and with more

quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister

and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself she

was very little disposed to approve them they were in fact very fine

ladies not deficient in good humour when they were pleased nor in the

power of making themselves agreeable when they chose it but proud and

conceited they were rather handsome had been educated in one of the

first private seminaries in town had a fortune of twenty thousand

pounds were in the habit of spending more than they ought and of

associating with people of rank and were therefore in every respect

entitled to think well of themselves and meanly of others they were of

a respectable family in the north of england a circumstance more deeply

impressed on their memories than that their brothers fortune and their

own had been acquired by trade

mr bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred

thousand pounds from his father who had intended to purchase an

estate but did not live to do it mr bingley intended it likewise and

sometimes made choice of his county but as he was now provided with a

good house and the liberty of a manor it was doubtful to many of those

who best knew the easiness of his temper whether he might not spend the

remainder of his days at netherfield and leave the next generation to

purchase

his sisters were anxious for his having an estate of his own but

though he was now only established as a tenant miss bingley was by no

means unwilling to preside at his tablenor was mrs hurst who had

married a man of more fashion than fortune less disposed to consider

his house as her home when it suited her mr bingley had not been of

age two years when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation

to look at netherfield house he did look at it and into it for

halfanhourwas pleased with the situation and the principal

rooms satisfied with what the owner said in its praise and took it

immediately

between him and darcy there was a very steady friendship in spite of

great opposition of character bingley was endeared to darcy by the

easiness openness and ductility of his temper though no disposition

could offer a greater contrast to his own and though with his own he

never appeared dissatisfied on the strength of darcys regard bingley

had the firmest reliance and of his judgement the highest opinion

in understanding darcy was the superior bingley was by no means

deficient but darcy was clever he was at the same time haughty

reserved and fastidious and his manners though wellbred were not

inviting in that respect his friend had greatly the advantage bingley

was sure of being liked wherever he appeared darcy was continually

giving offense

the manner in which they spoke of the meryton assembly was sufficiently

characteristic bingley had never met with more pleasant people or

prettier girls in his life everybody had been most kind and attentive

to him there had been no formality no stiffness he had soon felt

acquainted with all the room and as to miss bennet he could not

conceive an angel more beautiful darcy on the contrary had seen a

collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion for

none of whom he had felt the smallest interest and from none received

either attention or pleasure miss bennet he acknowledged to be pretty

but she smiled too much

mrs hurst and her sister allowed it to be sobut still they admired

her and liked her and pronounced her to be a sweet girl and one

whom they would not object to know more of miss bennet was therefore

established as a sweet girl and their brother felt authorized by such

commendation to think of her as he chose

chapter 5

within a short walk of longbourn lived a family with whom the bennets

were particularly intimate sir william lucas had been formerly in trade

in meryton where he had made a tolerable fortune and risen to the

honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty

the distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly it had given him a

disgust to his business and to his residence in a small market town

and in quitting them both he had removed with his family to a house

about a mile from meryton denominated from that period lucas lodge

where he could think with pleasure of his own importance and

unshackled by business occupy himself solely in being civil to all

the world for though elated by his rank it did not render him

supercilious on the contrary he was all attention to everybody by

nature inoffensive friendly and obliging his presentation at st

jamess had made him courteous

lady lucas was a very good kind of woman not too clever to be a

valuable neighbour to mrs bennet they had several children the eldest

of them a sensible intelligent young woman about twentyseven was

elizabeths intimate friend

that the miss lucases and the miss bennets should meet to talk over

a ball was absolutely necessary and the morning after the assembly

brought the former to longbourn to hear and to communicate

you began the evening well charlotte said mrs bennet with civil

selfcommand to miss lucas you were mr bingleys first choice

yes but he seemed to like his second better

oh you mean jane i suppose because he danced with her twice to be

sure that did seem as if he admired herindeed i rather believe he

didi heard something about itbut i hardly know whatsomething

about mr robinson

perhaps you mean what i overheard between him and mr robinson did not

i mention it to you mr robinsons asking him how he liked our meryton

assemblies and whether he did not think there were a great many

pretty women in the room and which he thought the prettiest and his

answering immediately to the last question oh the eldest miss bennet

beyond a doubt there cannot be two opinions on that point

upon my word well that is very decided indeedthat does seem as

ifbut however it may all come to nothing you know

my overhearings were more to the purpose than yours eliza said

charlotte mr darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend

is hepoor elizato be only just tolerable

i beg you would not put it into lizzys head to be vexed by his

illtreatment for he is such a disagreeable man that it would be quite

a misfortune to be liked by him mrs long told me last night that he

sat close to her for halfanhour without once opening his lips

are you quite sure maamis not there a little mistake said jane

i certainly saw mr darcy speaking to her

ayebecause she asked him at last how he liked netherfield and he

could not help answering her but she said he seemed quite angry at

being spoke to

miss bingley told me said jane that he never speaks much

unless among his intimate acquaintances with them he is remarkably

agreeable

i do not believe a word of it my dear if he had been so very

agreeable he would have talked to mrs long but i can guess how it

was everybody says that he is eat up with pride and i dare say he had

heard somehow that mrs long does not keep a carriage and had come to

the ball in a hack chaise

i do not mind his not talking to mrs long said miss lucas but i

wish he had danced with eliza

another time lizzy said her mother i would not dance with him

if i were you

i believe maam i may safely promise you never to dance with him

his pride said miss lucas does not offend me so much as pride

often does because there is an excuse for it one cannot wonder that so

very fine a young man with family fortune everything in his favour

should think highly of himself if i may so express it he has a right

to be proud

that is very true replied elizabeth and i could easily forgive

his pride if he had not mortified mine

pride observed mary who piqued herself upon the solidity of her

reflections is a very common failing i believe by all that i have

ever read i am convinced that it is very common indeed that human

nature is particularly prone to it and that there are very few of us

who do not cherish a feeling of selfcomplacency on the score of some

quality or other real or imaginary vanity and pride are different

things though the words are often used synonymously a person may

be proud without being vain pride relates more to our opinion of

ourselves vanity to what we would have others think of us

if i were as rich as mr darcy cried a young lucas who came with

his sisters i should not care how proud i was i would keep a pack of

foxhounds and drink a bottle of wine a day

then you would drink a great deal more than you ought said mrs

bennet and if i were to see you at it i should take away your bottle

directly

the boy protested that she should not she continued to declare that she

would and the argument ended only with the visit

chapter 6

the ladies of longbourn soon waited on those of netherfield the visit

was soon returned in due form miss bennets pleasing manners grew on

the goodwill of mrs hurst and miss bingley and though the mother was

found to be intolerable and the younger sisters not worth speaking to

a wish of being better acquainted with them was expressed towards

the two eldest by jane this attention was received with the greatest

pleasure but elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment

of everybody hardly excepting even her sister and could not like them

though their kindness to jane such as it was had a value as arising in

all probability from the influence of their brothers admiration it

was generally evident whenever they met that he did admire her and

to her it was equally evident that jane was yielding to the preference

which she had begun to entertain for him from the first and was in a

way to be very much in love but she considered with pleasure that it

was not likely to be discovered by the world in general since jane

united with great strength of feeling a composure of temper and a

uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard her from the suspicions

of the impertinent she mentioned this to her friend miss lucas

it may perhaps be pleasant replied charlotte to be able to impose

on the public in such a case but it is sometimes a disadvantage to be

so very guarded if a woman conceals her affection with the same skill

from the object of it she may lose the opportunity of fixing him and

it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in

the dark there is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every

attachment that it is not safe to leave any to itself we can all

begin freelya slight preference is natural enough but there are

very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without

encouragement in nine cases out of ten a women had better show more

affection than she feels bingley likes your sister undoubtedly but he

may never do more than like her if she does not help him on

but she does help him on as much as her nature will allow if i can

perceive her regard for him he must be a simpleton indeed not to

discover it too

remember eliza that he does not know janes disposition as you do

but if a woman is partial to a man and does not endeavour to conceal

it he must find it out

perhaps he must if he sees enough of her but though bingley and jane

meet tolerably often it is never for many hours together and as they

always see each other in large mixed parties it is impossible that

every moment should be employed in conversing together jane should

therefore make the most of every halfhour in which she can command his

attention when she is secure of him there will be more leisure for

falling in love as much as she chooses

your plan is a good one replied elizabeth where nothing is in

question but the desire of being well married and if i were determined

to get a rich husband or any husband i dare say i should adopt it but

these are not janes feelings she is not acting by design as yet

she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its

reasonableness she has known him only a fortnight she danced four

dances with him at meryton she saw him one morning at his own house

and has since dined with him in company four times this is not quite

enough to make her understand his character

not as you represent it had she merely dined with him she might

only have discovered whether he had a good appetite but you must

remember that four evenings have also been spent togetherand four

evenings may do a great deal

yes these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they

both like vingtun better than commerce but with respect to any other

leading characteristic i do not imagine that much has been unfolded

well said charlotte i wish jane success with all my heart and

if she were married to him tomorrow i should think she had as good a

chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a

twelvemonth happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance if

the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or

ever so similar beforehand it does not advance their felicity in the

least they always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to

have their share of vexation and it is better to know as little as

possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your

life

you make me laugh charlotte but it is not sound you know it is not

sound and that you would never act in this way yourself

occupied in observing mr bingleys attentions to her sister elizabeth

was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some

interest in the eyes of his friend mr darcy had at first scarcely

allowed her to be pretty he had looked at her without admiration at the

ball and when they next met he looked at her only to criticise but no

sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly

had a good feature in her face than he began to find it was rendered

uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes to

this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying though he had

detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry

in her form he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and

pleasing and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those

of the fashionable world he was caught by their easy playfulness of

this she was perfectly unaware to her he was only the man who made

himself agreeable nowhere and who had not thought her handsome enough

to dance with

he began to wish to know more of her and as a step towards conversing

with her himself attended to her conversation with others his doing so

drew her notice it was at sir william lucass where a large party were

assembled

what does mr darcy mean said she to charlotte by listening to my

conversation with colonel forster

that is a question which mr darcy only can answer

but if he does it any more i shall certainly let him know that i see

what he is about he has a very satirical eye and if i do not begin by

being impertinent myself i shall soon grow afraid of him

on his approaching them soon afterwards though without seeming to have

any intention of speaking miss lucas defied her friend to mention such

a subject to him which immediately provoking elizabeth to do it she

turned to him and said

did you not think mr darcy that i expressed myself uncommonly

well just now when i was teasing colonel forster to give us a ball at

meryton

with great energy but it is always a subject which makes a lady

energetic

you are severe on us

it will be her turn soon to be teased said miss lucas i am going

to open the instrument eliza and you know what follows

you are a very strange creature by way of a friendalways wanting me

to play and sing before anybody and everybody if my vanity had taken

a musical turn you would have been invaluable but as it is i would

really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of

hearing the very best performers on miss lucass persevering however

she added very well if it must be so it must and gravely glancing

at mr darcy there is a fine old saying which everybody here is of

course familiar with keep your breath to cool your porridge and i

shall keep mine to swell my song

her performance was pleasing though by no means capital after a song

or two and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that

she would sing again she was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her

sister mary who having in consequence of being the only plain one in

the family worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments was always

impatient for display

mary had neither genius nor taste and though vanity had given her

application it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited

manner which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she

had reached elizabeth easy and unaffected had been listened to with

much more pleasure though not playing half so well and mary at the

end of a long concerto was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by

scotch and irish airs at the request of her younger sisters who

with some of the lucases and two or three officers joined eagerly in

dancing at one end of the room

mr darcy stood near them in silent indignation at such a mode of

passing the evening to the exclusion of all conversation and was too

much engrossed by his thoughts to perceive that sir william lucas was

his neighbour till sir william thus began

what a charming amusement for young people this is mr darcy there

is nothing like dancing after all i consider it as one of the first

refinements of polished society

certainly sir and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst

the less polished societies of the world every savage can dance

sir william only smiled your friend performs delightfully he

continued after a pause on seeing bingley join the group and i doubt

not that you are an adept in the science yourself mr darcy

you saw me dance at meryton i believe sir

yes indeed and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight do

you often dance at st jamess

never sir

do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place

it is a compliment which i never pay to any place if i can avoid it

you have a house in town i conclude

mr darcy bowed

i had once had some thought of fixing in town myselffor i am fond

of superior society but i did not feel quite certain that the air of

london would agree with lady lucas

he paused in hopes of an answer but his companion was not disposed

to make any and elizabeth at that instant moving towards them he was

struck with the action of doing a very gallant thing and called out to

her

my dear miss eliza why are you not dancing mr darcy you must allow

me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner you

cannot refuse to dance i am sure when so much beauty is before you

and taking her hand he would have given it to mr darcy who though

extremely surprised was not unwilling to receive it when she instantly

drew back and said with some discomposure to sir william

indeed sir i have not the least intention of dancing i entreat you

not to suppose that i moved this way in order to beg for a partner

mr darcy with grave propriety requested to be allowed the honour of

her hand but in vain elizabeth was determined nor did sir william at

all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasion

you excel so much in the dance miss eliza that it is cruel to deny

me the happiness of seeing you and though this gentleman dislikes the

amusement in general he can have no objection i am sure to oblige us

for one halfhour

mr darcy is all politeness said elizabeth smiling

he is indeed but considering the inducement my dear miss eliza

we cannot wonder at his complaisancefor who would object to such a

partner

elizabeth looked archly and turned away her resistance had not

injured her with the gentleman and he was thinking of her with some

complacency when thus accosted by miss bingley

i can guess the subject of your reverie

i should imagine not

you are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings

in this mannerin such society and indeed i am quite of your opinion

i was never more annoyed the insipidity and yet the noisethe

nothingness and yet the selfimportance of all those people what would

i give to hear your strictures on them

your conjecture is totally wrong i assure you my mind was more

agreeably engaged i have been meditating on the very great pleasure

which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow

miss bingley immediately fixed her eyes on his face and desired he

would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such reflections

mr darcy replied with great intrepidity

miss elizabeth bennet

miss elizabeth bennet repeated miss bingley i am all astonishment

how long has she been such a favouriteand pray when am i to wish you

joy

that is exactly the question which i expected you to ask a ladys

imagination is very rapid it jumps from admiration to love from love

to matrimony in a moment i knew you would be wishing me joy

nay if you are serious about it i shall consider the matter is

absolutely settled you will be having a charming motherinlaw indeed

and of course she will always be at pemberley with you

he listened to her with perfect indifference while she chose to

entertain herself in this manner and as his composure convinced her

that all was safe her wit flowed long

chapter 7

mr bennets property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two

thousand a year which unfortunately for his daughters was entailed

in default of heirs male on a distant relation and their mothers

fortune though ample for her situation in life could but ill supply

the deficiency of his her father had been an attorney in meryton and

had left her four thousand pounds

she had a sister married to a mr phillips who had been a clerk to

their father and succeeded him in the business and a brother settled in

london in a respectable line of trade

the village of longbourn was only one mile from meryton a most

convenient distance for the young ladies who were usually tempted

thither three or four times a week to pay their duty to their aunt and

to a milliners shop just over the way the two youngest of the family

catherine and lydia were particularly frequent in these attentions

their minds were more vacant than their sisters and when nothing

better offered a walk to meryton was necessary to amuse their morning

hours and furnish conversation for the evening and however bare of news

the country in general might be they always contrived to learn some

from their aunt at present indeed they were well supplied both with

news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the

neighbourhood it was to remain the whole winter and meryton was the

headquarters

their visits to mrs phillips were now productive of the most

interesting intelligence every day added something to their knowledge

of the officers names and connections their lodgings were not long a

secret and at length they began to know the officers themselves mr

phillips visited them all and this opened to his nieces a store of

felicity unknown before they could talk of nothing but officers and

mr bingleys large fortune the mention of which gave animation

to their mother was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the

regimentals of an ensign

after listening one morning to their effusions on this subject mr

bennet coolly observed

from all that i can collect by your manner of talking you must be two

of the silliest girls in the country i have suspected it some time but

i am now convinced

catherine was disconcerted and made no answer but lydia with perfect

indifference continued to express her admiration of captain carter

and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day as he was going the

next morning to london

i am astonished my dear said mrs bennet that you should be so

ready to think your own children silly if i wished to think slightingly

of anybodys children it should not be of my own however

if my children are silly i must hope to be always sensible of it

yesbut as it happens they are all of them very clever

this is the only point i flatter myself on which we do not agree i

had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular but i must

so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly

foolish

my dear mr bennet you must not expect such girls to have the sense of

their father and mother when they get to our age i dare say they will

not think about officers any more than we do i remember the time when

i liked a red coat myself very welland indeed so i do still at my

heart and if a smart young colonel with five or six thousand a year

should want one of my girls i shall not say nay to him and i thought

colonel forster looked very becoming the other night at sir williams in

his regimentals

mamma cried lydia my aunt says that colonel forster and captain

carter do not go so often to miss watsons as they did when they first

came she sees them now very often standing in clarkes library

mrs bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with

a note for miss bennet it came from netherfield and the servant waited

for an answer mrs bennets eyes sparkled with pleasure and she was

eagerly calling out while her daughter read

well jane who is it from what is it about what does he say well

jane make haste and tell us make haste my love

it is from miss bingley said jane and then read it aloud

my dear friend

if you are not so compassionate as to dine today with louisa and me

we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives

for a whole days teteatete between two women can never end without a

quarrel come as soon as you can on receipt of this my brother and the

gentlemen are to dine with the officersyours ever

caroline bingley

with the officers cried lydia i wonder my aunt did not tell us of

that

dining out said mrs bennet that is very unlucky

can i have the carriage said jane

no my dear you had better go on horseback because it seems likely to

rain and then you must stay all night

that would be a good scheme said elizabeth if you were sure that

they would not offer to send her home

oh but the gentlemen will have mr bingleys chaise to go to meryton

and the hursts have no horses to theirs

i had much rather go in the coach

but my dear your father cannot spare the horses i am sure they are

wanted in the farm mr bennet are they not

they are wanted in the farm much oftener than i can get them

but if you have got them today said elizabeth my mothers purpose

will be answered

she did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses

were engaged jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback and her

mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a

bad day her hopes were answered jane had not been gone long before

it rained hard her sisters were uneasy for her but her mother was

delighted the rain continued the whole evening without intermission

jane certainly could not come back

this was a lucky idea of mine indeed said mrs bennet more than

once as if the credit of making it rain were all her own till the

next morning however she was not aware of all the felicity of her

contrivance breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from netherfield

brought the following note for elizabeth

my dearest lizzy

i find myself very unwell this morning which i suppose is to be

imputed to my getting wet through yesterday my kind friends will not

hear of my returning till i am better they insist also on my seeing mr

jonestherefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been

to meand excepting a sore throat and headache there is not much the

matter with meyours etc

well my dear said mr bennet when elizabeth had read the note

aloud if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illnessif she

should die it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of

mr bingley and under your orders

oh i am not afraid of her dying people do not die of little trifling

colds she will be taken good care of as long as she stays there it is

all very well i would go and see her if i could have the carriage

elizabeth feeling really anxious was determined to go to her though

the carriage was not to be had and as she was no horsewoman walking

was her only alternative she declared her resolution

how can you be so silly cried her mother as to think of such a

thing in all this dirt you will not be fit to be seen when you get

there

i shall be very fit to see janewhich is all i want

is this a hint to me lizzy said her father to send for the

horses

no indeed i do not wish to avoid the walk the distance is nothing

when one has a motive only three miles i shall be back by dinner

i admire the activity of your benevolence observed mary but every

impulse of feeling should be guided by reason and in my opinion

exertion should always be in proportion to what is required

we will go as far as meryton with you said catherine and lydia

elizabeth accepted their company and the three young ladies set off

together

if we make haste said lydia as they walked along perhaps we may

see something of captain carter before he goes

in meryton they parted the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one

of the officers wives and elizabeth continued her walk alone crossing

field after field at a quick pace jumping over stiles and springing

over puddles with impatient activity and finding herself at last

within view of the house with weary ankles dirty stockings and a face

glowing with the warmth of exercise

she was shown into the breakfastparlour where all but jane were

assembled and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise

that she should have walked three miles so early in the day in such

dirty weather and by herself was almost incredible to mrs hurst and

miss bingley and elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt

for it she was received however very politely by them and in their

brothers manners there was something better than politeness there

was good humour and kindness mr darcy said very little and mr

hurst nothing at all the former was divided between admiration of the

brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion and doubt as

to the occasions justifying her coming so far alone the latter was

thinking only of his breakfast

her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered miss

bennet had slept ill and though up was very feverish and not

well enough to leave her room elizabeth was glad to be taken to her

immediately and jane who had only been withheld by the fear of giving

alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed

for such a visit was delighted at her entrance she was not equal

however to much conversation and when miss bingley left them

together could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the

extraordinary kindness she was treated with elizabeth silently attended

her

when breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters and elizabeth

began to like them herself when she saw how much affection and

solicitude they showed for jane the apothecary came and having

examined his patient said as might be supposed that she had caught

a violent cold and that they must endeavour to get the better of it

advised her to return to bed and promised her some draughts the advice

was followed readily for the feverish symptoms increased and her head

ached acutely elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment nor were

the other ladies often absent the gentlemen being out they had in

fact nothing to do elsewhere

when the clock struck three elizabeth felt that she must go and very

unwillingly said so miss bingley offered her the carriage and she only

wanted a little pressing to accept it when jane testified such concern

in parting with her that miss bingley was obliged to convert the offer

of the chaise to an invitation to remain at netherfield for the present

elizabeth most thankfully consented and a servant was dispatched to

longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply

of clothes

chapter 8

at five oclock the two ladies retired to dress and at halfpast six

elizabeth was summoned to dinner to the civil inquiries which then

poured in and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the

much superior solicitude of mr bingleys she could not make a very

favourable answer jane was by no means better the sisters on hearing

this repeated three or four times how much they were grieved how

shocking it was to have a bad cold and how excessively they disliked

being ill themselves and then thought no more of the matter and their

indifference towards jane when not immediately before them restored

elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike

their brother indeed was the only one of the party whom she could

regard with any complacency his anxiety for jane was evident and his

attentions to herself most pleasing and they prevented her feeling

herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the

others she had very little notice from any but him miss bingley was

engrossed by mr darcy her sister scarcely less so and as for mr

hurst by whom elizabeth sat he was an indolent man who lived only to

eat drink and play at cards who when he found her to prefer a plain

dish to a ragout had nothing to say to her

when dinner was over she returned directly to jane and miss bingley

began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room her manners were

pronounced to be very bad indeed a mixture of pride and impertinence

she had no conversation no style no beauty mrs hurst thought the

same and added

she has nothing in short to recommend her but being an excellent

walker i shall never forget her appearance this morning she really

looked almost wild

she did indeed louisa i could hardly keep my countenance very

nonsensical to come at all why must she be scampering about the

country because her sister had a cold her hair so untidy so blowsy

yes and her petticoat i hope you saw her petticoat six inches deep

in mud i am absolutely certain and the gown which had been let down to

hide it not doing its office

your picture may be very exact louisa said bingley but this was

all lost upon me i thought miss elizabeth bennet looked remarkably

well when she came into the room this morning her dirty petticoat quite

escaped my notice

you observed it mr darcy i am sure said miss bingley and i am

inclined to think that you would not wish to see your sister make such

an exhibition

certainly not

to walk three miles or four miles or five miles or whatever it is

above her ankles in dirt and alone quite alone what could she mean by

it it seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence

a most countrytown indifference to decorum

it shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing said

bingley

i am afraid mr darcy observed miss bingley in a half whisper that

this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes

not at all he replied they were brightened by the exercise a

short pause followed this speech and mrs hurst began again

i have an excessive regard for miss jane bennet she is really a very

sweet girl and i wish with all my heart she were well settled but with

such a father and mother and such low connections i am afraid there is

no chance of it

i think i have heard you say that their uncle is an attorney in

meryton

yes and they have another who lives somewhere near cheapside

that is capital added her sister and they both laughed heartily

if they had uncles enough to fill all cheapside cried bingley it

would not make them one jot less agreeable

but it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any

consideration in the world replied darcy

to this speech bingley made no answer but his sisters gave it their

hearty assent and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of

their dear friends vulgar relations

with a renewal of tenderness however they returned to her room on

leaving the diningparlour and sat with her till summoned to coffee

she was still very poorly and elizabeth would not quit her at all till

late in the evening when she had the comfort of seeing her sleep and

when it seemed to her rather right than pleasant that she should go

downstairs herself on entering the drawingroom she found the whole

party at loo and was immediately invited to join them but suspecting

them to be playing high she declined it and making her sister the

excuse said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay

below with a book mr hurst looked at her with astonishment

do you prefer reading to cards said he that is rather singular

miss eliza bennet said miss bingley despises cards she is a great

reader and has no pleasure in anything else

i deserve neither such praise nor such censure cried elizabeth i am

not a great reader and i have pleasure in many things

in nursing your sister i am sure you have pleasure said bingley and

i hope it will be soon increased by seeing her quite well

elizabeth thanked him from her heart and then walked towards the

table where a few books were lying he immediately offered to fetch her

othersall that his library afforded

and i wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own

credit but i am an idle fellow and though i have not many i have more

than i ever looked into

elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those

in the room

i am astonished said miss bingley that my father should have left

so small a collection of books what a delightful library you have at

pemberley mr darcy

it ought to be good he replied it has been the work of many

generations

and then you have added so much to it yourself you are always buying

books

i cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as

these

neglect i am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of

that noble place charles when you build your house i wish it may be

half as delightful as pemberley

i wish it may

but i would really advise you to make your purchase in that

neighbourhood and take pemberley for a kind of model there is not a

finer county in england than derbyshire

with all my heart i will buy pemberley itself if darcy will sell it

i am talking of possibilities charles

upon my word caroline i should think it more possible to get

pemberley by purchase than by imitation

elizabeth was so much caught with what passed as to leave her very

little attention for her book and soon laying it wholly aside she drew

near the cardtable and stationed herself between mr bingley and his

eldest sister to observe the game

is miss darcy much grown since the spring said miss bingley will

she be as tall as i am

i think she will she is now about miss elizabeth bennets height or

rather taller

how i long to see her again i never met with anybody who delighted me

so much such a countenance such manners and so extremely accomplished

for her age her performance on the pianoforte is exquisite

it is amazing to me said bingley how young ladies can have patience

to be so very accomplished as they all are

all young ladies accomplished my dear charles what do you mean

yes all of them i think they all paint tables cover screens and

net purses i scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this and i am sure

i never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time without being

informed that she was very accomplished

your list of the common extent of accomplishments said darcy has

too much truth the word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no

otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen but i am very

far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general i

cannot boast of knowing more than halfadozen in the whole range of my

acquaintance that are really accomplished

nor i i am sure said miss bingley

then observed elizabeth you must comprehend a great deal in your

idea of an accomplished woman

yes i do comprehend a great deal in it

oh certainly cried his faithful assistant no one can be really

esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met

with a woman must have a thorough knowledge of music singing drawing

dancing and the modern languages to deserve the word and besides

all this she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of

walking the tone of her voice her address and expressions or the word

will be but halfdeserved

all this she must possess added darcy and to all this she must

yet add something more substantial in the improvement of her mind by

extensive reading

i am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women

i rather wonder now at your knowing any

are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all

this

i never saw such a woman i never saw such capacity and taste and

application and elegance as you describe united

mrs hurst and miss bingley both cried out against the injustice of her

implied doubt and were both protesting that they knew many women who

answered this description when mr hurst called them to order with

bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward as all

conversation was thereby at an end elizabeth soon afterwards left the

room

elizabeth bennet said miss bingley when the door was closed on her

is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the

other sex by undervaluing their own and with many men i dare say it

succeeds but in my opinion it is a paltry device a very mean art

undoubtedly replied darcy to whom this remark was chiefly addressed

there is a meanness in all the arts which ladies sometimes condescend

to employ for captivation whatever bears affinity to cunning is

despicable

miss bingley was not so entirely satisfied with this reply as to

continue the subject

elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse and

that she could not leave her bingley urged mr jones being sent for

immediately while his sisters convinced that no country advice could

be of any service recommended an express to town for one of the most

eminent physicians this she would not hear of but she was not so

unwilling to comply with their brothers proposal and it was settled

that mr jones should be sent for early in the morning if miss bennet

were not decidedly better bingley was quite uncomfortable his sisters

declared that they were miserable they solaced their wretchedness

however by duets after supper while he could find no better relief

to his feelings than by giving his housekeeper directions that every

attention might be paid to the sick lady and her sister

chapter 9

elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sisters room and in the

morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the

inquiries which she very early received from mr bingley by a housemaid

and some time afterwards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his

sisters in spite of this amendment however she requested to have a

note sent to longbourn desiring her mother to visit jane and form her

own judgement of her situation the note was immediately dispatched and

its contents as quickly complied with mrs bennet accompanied by her

two youngest girls reached netherfield soon after the family breakfast

had she found jane in any apparent danger mrs bennet would have been

very miserable but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was

not alarming she had no wish of her recovering immediately as her

restoration to health would probably remove her from netherfield she

would not listen therefore to her daughters proposal of being carried

home neither did the apothecary who arrived about the same time think

it at all advisable after sitting a little while with jane on miss

bingleys appearance and invitation the mother and three daughters all

attended her into the breakfast parlour bingley met them with hopes

that mrs bennet had not found miss bennet worse than she expected

indeed i have sir was her answer she is a great deal too ill to be

moved mr jones says we must not think of moving her we must trespass

a little longer on your kindness

removed cried bingley it must not be thought of my sister i am

sure will not hear of her removal

you may depend upon it madam said miss bingley with cold civility

that miss bennet will receive every possible attention while she

remains with us

mrs bennet was profuse in her acknowledgments

i am sure she added if it was not for such good friends i do not

know what would become of her for she is very ill indeed and suffers

a vast deal though with the greatest patience in the world which is

always the way with her for she has without exception the sweetest

temper i have ever met with i often tell my other girls they are

nothing to her you have a sweet room here mr bingley and a

charming prospect over the gravel walk i do not know a place in the

country that is equal to netherfield you will not think of quitting it

in a hurry i hope though you have but a short lease

whatever i do is done in a hurry replied he and therefore if i

should resolve to quit netherfield i should probably be off in five

minutes at present however i consider myself as quite fixed here

that is exactly what i should have supposed of you said elizabeth

you begin to comprehend me do you cried he turning towards her

oh yesi understand you perfectly

i wish i might take this for a compliment but to be so easily seen

through i am afraid is pitiful

that is as it happens it does not follow that a deep intricate

character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours

lizzy cried her mother remember where you are and do not run on in

the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home

i did not know before continued bingley immediately that you were a

studier of character it must be an amusing study

yes but intricate characters are the most amusing they have at

least that advantage

the country said darcy can in general supply but a few subjects for

such a study in a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and

unvarying society

but people themselves alter so much that there is something new to be

observed in them for ever

yes indeed cried mrs bennet offended by his manner of mentioning

a country neighbourhood i assure you there is quite as much of that

going on in the country as in town

everybody was surprised and darcy after looking at her for a moment

turned silently away mrs bennet who fancied she had gained a complete

victory over him continued her triumph

i cannot see that london has any great advantage over the country for

my part except the shops and public places the country is a vast deal

pleasanter is it not mr bingley

when i am in the country he replied i never wish to leave it

and when i am in town it is pretty much the same they have each their

advantages and i can be equally happy in either

ayethat is because you have the right disposition but that

gentleman looking at darcy seemed to think the country was nothing

at all

indeed mamma you are mistaken said elizabeth blushing for her

mother you quite mistook mr darcy he only meant that there was not

such a variety of people to be met with in the country as in the town

which you must acknowledge to be true

certainly my dear nobody said there were but as to not meeting

with many people in this neighbourhood i believe there are few

neighbourhoods larger i know we dine with fourandtwenty families

nothing but concern for elizabeth could enable bingley to keep his

countenance his sister was less delicate and directed her eyes towards

mr darcy with a very expressive smile elizabeth for the sake of

saying something that might turn her mothers thoughts now asked her if

charlotte lucas had been at longbourn since her coming away

yes she called yesterday with her father what an agreeable man sir

william is mr bingley is not he so much the man of fashion so

genteel and easy he has always something to say to everybody that

is my idea of good breeding and those persons who fancy themselves very

important and never open their mouths quite mistake the matter

did charlotte dine with you

no she would go home i fancy she was wanted about the mincepies for

my part mr bingley i always keep servants that can do their own work

my daughters are brought up very differently but everybody is to

judge for themselves and the lucases are a very good sort of girls

i assure you it is a pity they are not handsome not that i think

charlotte so very plainbut then she is our particular friend

she seems a very pleasant young woman

oh dear yes but you must own she is very plain lady lucas herself

has often said so and envied me janes beauty i do not like to boast

of my own child but to be sure janeone does not often see anybody

better looking it is what everybody says i do not trust my own

partiality when she was only fifteen there was a man at my brother

gardiners in town so much in love with her that my sisterinlaw was

sure he would make her an offer before we came away but however he

did not perhaps he thought her too young however he wrote some verses

on her and very pretty they were

and so ended his affection said elizabeth impatiently there has

been many a one i fancy overcome in the same way i wonder who first

discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love

i have been used to consider poetry as the food of love said darcy

of a fine stout healthy love it may everything nourishes what is

strong already but if it be only a slight thin sort of inclination i

am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away

darcy only smiled and the general pause which ensued made elizabeth

tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again she longed to

speak but could think of nothing to say and after a short silence mrs

bennet began repeating her thanks to mr bingley for his kindness to

jane with an apology for troubling him also with lizzy mr bingley was

unaffectedly civil in his answer and forced his younger sister to be

civil also and say what the occasion required she performed her part

indeed without much graciousness but mrs bennet was satisfied and

soon afterwards ordered her carriage upon this signal the youngest of

her daughters put herself forward the two girls had been whispering to

each other during the whole visit and the result of it was that the

youngest should tax mr bingley with having promised on his first coming

into the country to give a ball at netherfield

lydia was a stout wellgrown girl of fifteen with a fine complexion

and goodhumoured countenance a favourite with her mother whose

affection had brought her into public at an early age she had high

animal spirits and a sort of natural selfconsequence which the

attention of the officers to whom her uncles good dinners and her own

easy manners recommended her had increased into assurance she was very

equal therefore to address mr bingley on the subject of the ball and

abruptly reminded him of his promise adding that it would be the most

shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it his answer to this

sudden attack was delightful to their mothers ear

i am perfectly ready i assure you to keep my engagement and when

your sister is recovered you shall if you please name the very day of

the ball but you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill

lydia declared herself satisfied oh yesit would be much better to

wait till jane was well and by that time most likely captain carter

would be at meryton again and when you have given your ball she

added i shall insist on their giving one also i shall tell colonel

forster it will be quite a shame if he does not

mrs bennet and her daughters then departed and elizabeth returned

instantly to jane leaving her own and her relations behaviour to the

remarks of the two ladies and mr darcy the latter of whom however

could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of her in spite of

all miss bingleys witticisms on fine eyes

chapter 10

the day passed much as the day before had done mrs hurst and miss

bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid who

continued though slowly to mend and in the evening elizabeth joined

their party in the drawingroom the lootable however did not appear

mr darcy was writing and miss bingley seated near him was watching

the progress of his letter and repeatedly calling off his attention by

messages to his sister mr hurst and mr bingley were at piquet and

mrs hurst was observing their game

elizabeth took up some needlework and was sufficiently amused in

attending to what passed between darcy and his companion the perpetual

commendations of the lady either on his handwriting or on the evenness

of his lines or on the length of his letter with the perfect unconcern

with which her praises were received formed a curious dialogue and was

exactly in union with her opinion of each

how delighted miss darcy will be to receive such a letter

he made no answer

you write uncommonly fast

you are mistaken i write rather slowly

how many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a

year letters of business too how odious i should think them

it is fortunate then that they fall to my lot instead of yours

pray tell your sister that i long to see her

i have already told her so once by your desire

i am afraid you do not like your pen let me mend it for you i mend

pens remarkably well

thank youbut i always mend my own

how can you contrive to write so even

he was silent

tell your sister i am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp

and pray let her know that i am quite in raptures with her beautiful

little design for a table and i think it infinitely superior to miss

grantleys

will you give me leave to defer your raptures till i write again at

present i have not room to do them justice

oh it is of no consequence i shall see her in january but do you

always write such charming long letters to her mr darcy

they are generally long but whether always charming it is not for me

to determine

it is a rule with me that a person who can write a long letter with

ease cannot write ill

that will not do for a compliment to darcy caroline cried her

brother because he does not write with ease he studies too much for

words of four syllables do not you darcy

my style of writing is very different from yours

oh cried miss bingley charles writes in the most careless way

imaginable he leaves out half his words and blots the rest

my ideas flow so rapidly that i have not time to express themby which

means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents

your humility mr bingley said elizabeth must disarm reproof

nothing is more deceitful said darcy than the appearance of

humility it is often only carelessness of opinion and sometimes an

indirect boast

and which of the two do you call my little recent piece of modesty

the indirect boast for you are really proud of your defects in

writing because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of

thought and carelessness of execution which if not estimable you

think at least highly interesting the power of doing anything with

quickness is always prized much by the possessor and often without any

attention to the imperfection of the performance when you told mrs

bennet this morning that if you ever resolved upon quitting netherfield

you should be gone in five minutes you meant it to be a sort of

panegyric of compliment to yourselfand yet what is there so very

laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business

undone and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else

nay cried bingley this is too much to remember at night all the

foolish things that were said in the morning and yet upon my honour

i believe what i said of myself to be true and i believe it at this

moment at least therefore i did not assume the character of needless

precipitance merely to show off before the ladies

i dare say you believed it but i am by no means convinced that

you would be gone with such celerity your conduct would be quite as

dependent on chance as that of any man i know and if as you were

mounting your horse a friend were to say bingley you had better

stay till next week you would probably do it you would probably not

goand at another word might stay a month

you have only proved by this cried elizabeth that mr bingley did

not do justice to his own disposition you have shown him off now much

more than he did himself

i am exceedingly gratified said bingley by your converting what my

friend says into a compliment on the sweetness of my temper but i am

afraid you are giving it a turn which that gentleman did by no means

intend for he would certainly think better of me if under such a

circumstance i were to give a flat denial and ride off as fast as i

could

would mr darcy then consider the rashness of your original intentions

as atoned for by your obstinacy in adhering to it

upon my word i cannot exactly explain the matter darcy must speak for

himself

you expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine

but which i have never acknowledged allowing the case however to

stand according to your representation you must remember miss bennet

that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house and

the delay of his plan has merely desired it asked it without offering

one argument in favour of its propriety

to yield readilyeasilyto the persuasion of a friend is no merit

with you

to yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of

either

you appear to me mr darcy to allow nothing for the influence of

friendship and affection a regard for the requester would often make

one readily yield to a request without waiting for arguments to reason

one into it i am not particularly speaking of such a case as you have

supposed about mr bingley we may as well wait perhaps till the

circumstance occurs before we discuss the discretion of his behaviour

thereupon but in general and ordinary cases between friend and friend

where one of them is desired by the other to change a resolution of no

very great moment should you think ill of that person for complying

with the desire without waiting to be argued into it

will it not be advisable before we proceed on this subject to

arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to

appertain to this request as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting

between the parties

by all means cried bingley let us hear all the particulars not

forgetting their comparative height and size for that will have more

weight in the argument miss bennet than you may be aware of i assure

you that if darcy were not such a great tall fellow in comparison with

myself i should not pay him half so much deference i declare i do not

know a more awful object than darcy on particular occasions and in

particular places at his own house especially and of a sunday evening

when he has nothing to do

mr darcy smiled but elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was

rather offended and therefore checked her laugh miss bingley warmly

resented the indignity he had received in an expostulation with her

brother for talking such nonsense

i see your design bingley said his friend you dislike an argument

and want to silence this

perhaps i do arguments are too much like disputes if you and miss

bennet will defer yours till i am out of the room i shall be very

thankful and then you may say whatever you like of me

what you ask said elizabeth is no sacrifice on my side and mr

darcy had much better finish his letter

mr darcy took her advice and did finish his letter

when that business was over he applied to miss bingley and elizabeth

for an indulgence of some music miss bingley moved with some alacrity

to the pianoforte and after a polite request that elizabeth would lead

the way which the other as politely and more earnestly negatived she

seated herself

mrs hurst sang with her sister and while they were thus employed

elizabeth could not help observing as she turned over some musicbooks

that lay on the instrument how frequently mr darcys eyes were fixed

on her she hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of

admiration to so great a man and yet that he should look at her

because he disliked her was still more strange she could only imagine

however at last that she drew his notice because there was something

more wrong and reprehensible according to his ideas of right than in

any other person present the supposition did not pain her she liked

him too little to care for his approbation

after playing some italian songs miss bingley varied the charm by

a lively scotch air and soon afterwards mr darcy drawing near

elizabeth said to her

do not you feel a great inclination miss bennet to seize such an

opportunity of dancing a reel

she smiled but made no answer he repeated the question with some

surprise at her silence

oh said she i heard you before but i could not immediately

determine what to say in reply you wanted me i know to say yes

that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste but i always

delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes and cheating a person of

their premeditated contempt i have therefore made up my mind to tell

you that i do not want to dance a reel at alland now despise me if

you dare

indeed i do not dare

elizabeth having rather expected to affront him was amazed at his

gallantry but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her

manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody and darcy

had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her he really

believed that were it not for the inferiority of her connections he

should be in some danger

miss bingley saw or suspected enough to be jealous and her great

anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend jane received some

assistance from her desire of getting rid of elizabeth

she often tried to provoke darcy into disliking her guest by talking of

their supposed marriage and planning his happiness in such an alliance

i hope said she as they were walking together in the shrubbery

the next day you will give your motherinlaw a few hints when this

desirable event takes place as to the advantage of holding her tongue

and if you can compass it do cure the younger girls of running after

officers and if i may mention so delicate a subject endeavour to

check that little something bordering on conceit and impertinence

which your lady possesses

have you anything else to propose for my domestic felicity

oh yes do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt phillips be placed

in the gallery at pemberley put them next to your greatuncle the

judge they are in the same profession you know only in different

lines as for your elizabeths picture you must not have it taken for

what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes

it would not be easy indeed to catch their expression but their

colour and shape and the eyelashes so remarkably fine might be

copied

at that moment they were met from another walk by mrs hurst and

elizabeth herself

i did not know that you intended to walk said miss bingley in some

confusion lest they had been overheard

you used us abominably ill answered mrs hurst running away without

telling us that you were coming out

then taking the disengaged arm of mr darcy she left elizabeth to walk

by herself the path just admitted three mr darcy felt their rudeness

and immediately said

this walk is not wide enough for our party we had better go into the

avenue

but elizabeth who had not the least inclination to remain with them

laughingly answered

no no stay where you are you are charmingly grouped and appear

to uncommon advantage the picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a

fourth goodbye

she then ran gaily off rejoicing as she rambled about in the hope of

being at home again in a day or two jane was already so much recovered

as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours that evening

chapter 11

when the ladies removed after dinner elizabeth ran up to her

sister and seeing her well guarded from cold attended her into the

drawingroom where she was welcomed by her two friends with many

professions of pleasure and elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable

as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared

their powers of conversation were considerable they could describe an

entertainment with accuracy relate an anecdote with humour and laugh

at their acquaintance with spirit

but when the gentlemen entered jane was no longer the first object

miss bingleys eyes were instantly turned toward darcy and she had

something to say to him before he had advanced many steps he addressed

himself to miss bennet with a polite congratulation mr hurst also

made her a slight bow and said he was very glad but diffuseness

and warmth remained for bingleys salutation he was full of joy and

attention the first halfhour was spent in piling up the fire lest she

should suffer from the change of room and she removed at his desire

to the other side of the fireplace that she might be further from

the door he then sat down by her and talked scarcely to anyone

else elizabeth at work in the opposite corner saw it all with great

delight

when tea was over mr hurst reminded his sisterinlaw of the

cardtablebut in vain she had obtained private intelligence that mr

darcy did not wish for cards and mr hurst soon found even his open

petition rejected she assured him that no one intended to play and

the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her mr

hurst had therefore nothing to do but to stretch himself on one of the

sofas and go to sleep darcy took up a book miss bingley did the same

and mrs hurst principally occupied in playing with her bracelets

and rings joined now and then in her brothers conversation with miss

bennet

miss bingleys attention was quite as much engaged in watching mr

darcys progress through his book as in reading her own and she

was perpetually either making some inquiry or looking at his page she

could not win him however to any conversation he merely answered her

question and read on at length quite exhausted by the attempt to be

amused with her own book which she had only chosen because it was the

second volume of his she gave a great yawn and said how pleasant

it is to spend an evening in this way i declare after all there is no

enjoyment like reading how much sooner one tires of anything than of a

book when i have a house of my own i shall be miserable if i have not

an excellent library

no one made any reply she then yawned again threw aside her book and

cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement when hearing

her brother mentioning a ball to miss bennet she turned suddenly

towards him and said

by the bye charles are you really serious in meditating a dance at

netherfield i would advise you before you determine on it to consult

the wishes of the present party i am much mistaken if there are

not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a

pleasure

if you mean darcy cried her brother he may go to bed if he

chooses before it beginsbut as for the ball it is quite a settled

thing and as soon as nicholls has made white soup enough i shall send

round my cards

i should like balls infinitely better she replied if they were

carried on in a different manner but there is something insufferably

tedious in the usual process of such a meeting it would surely be much

more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of

the day

much more rational my dear caroline i dare say but it would not be

near so much like a ball

miss bingley made no answer and soon afterwards she got up and walked

about the room her figure was elegant and she walked well but

darcy at whom it was all aimed was still inflexibly studious in

the desperation of her feelings she resolved on one effort more and

turning to elizabeth said

miss eliza bennet let me persuade you to follow my example and take a

turn about the room i assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so

long in one attitude

elizabeth was surprised but agreed to it immediately miss bingley

succeeded no less in the real object of her civility mr darcy looked

up he was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as

elizabeth herself could be and unconsciously closed his book he was

directly invited to join their party but he declined it observing that

he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down

the room together with either of which motives his joining them would

interfere what could he mean she was dying to know what could be his

meaningand asked elizabeth whether she could at all understand him

not at all was her answer but depend upon it he means to be severe

on us and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing

about it

miss bingley however was incapable of disappointing mr darcy in

anything and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his

two motives

i have not the smallest objection to explaining them said he as soon

as she allowed him to speak you either choose this method of passing

the evening because you are in each others confidence and have secret

affairs to discuss or because you are conscious that your figures

appear to the greatest advantage in walking if the first i would be

completely in your way and if the second i can admire you much better

as i sit by the fire

oh shocking cried miss bingley i never heard anything so

abominable how shall we punish him for such a speech

nothing so easy if you have but the inclination said elizabeth we

can all plague and punish one another tease himlaugh at him intimate

as you are you must know how it is to be done

but upon my honour i do not i do assure you that my intimacy has

not yet taught me that tease calmness of manner and presence of

mind no no i feel he may defy us there and as to laughter we will

not expose ourselves if you please by attempting to laugh without a

subject mr darcy may hug himself

mr darcy is not to be laughed at cried elizabeth that is an

uncommon advantage and uncommon i hope it will continue for it would

be a great loss to me to have many such acquaintances i dearly love a

laugh

miss bingley said he has given me more credit than can be

the wisest and the best of mennay the wisest and best of their

actionsmay be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in

life is a joke

certainly replied elizabeththere are such people but i hope i

am not one of them i hope i never ridicule what is wise and good

follies and nonsense whims and inconsistencies do divert me i own

and i laugh at them whenever i can but these i suppose are precisely

what you are without

perhaps that is not possible for anyone but it has been the study

of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong

understanding to ridicule

such as vanity and pride

yes vanity is a weakness indeed but pridewhere there is a real

superiority of mind pride will be always under good regulation

elizabeth turned away to hide a smile

your examination of mr darcy is over i presume said miss bingley

and pray what is the result

i am perfectly convinced by it that mr darcy has no defect he owns it

himself without disguise

no said darcy i have made no such pretension i have faults enough

but they are not i hope of understanding my temper i dare not vouch

for it is i believe too little yieldingcertainly too little for the

convenience of the world i cannot forget the follies and vices of others

so soon as i ought nor their offenses against myself my feelings

are not puffed about with every attempt to move them my temper

would perhaps be called resentful my good opinion once lost is lost

forever

that is a failing indeed cried elizabeth implacable resentment

is a shade in a character but you have chosen your fault well i

really cannot laugh at it you are safe from me

there is i believe in every disposition a tendency to some particular

evila natural defect which not even the best education can overcome

and your defect is to hate everybody

and yours he replied with a smile is willfully to misunderstand

them

do let us have a little music cried miss bingley tired of a

conversation in which she had no share louisa you will not mind my

waking mr hurst

her sister had not the smallest objection and the pianoforte was

opened and darcy after a few moments recollection was not sorry for

it he began to feel the danger of paying elizabeth too much attention

chapter 12

in consequence of an agreement between the sisters elizabeth wrote the

next morning to their mother to beg that the carriage might be sent for

them in the course of the day but mrs bennet who had calculated on

her daughters remaining at netherfield till the following tuesday which

would exactly finish janes week could not bring herself to receive

them with pleasure before her answer therefore was not propitious at

least not to elizabeths wishes for she was impatient to get home mrs

bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage

before tuesday and in her postscript it was added that if mr bingley

and his sister pressed them to stay longer she could spare them

very well against staying longer however elizabeth was positively

resolvednor did she much expect it would be asked and fearful on the

contrary as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long

she urged jane to borrow mr bingleys carriage immediately and at

length it was settled that their original design of leaving netherfield

that morning should be mentioned and the request made

the communication excited many professions of concern and enough was

said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work

on jane and till the morrow their going was deferred miss bingley was

then sorry that she had proposed the delay for her jealousy and dislike

of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other

the master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so

soon and repeatedly tried to persuade miss bennet that it would not be

safe for herthat she was not enough recovered but jane was firm where

she felt herself to be right

to mr darcy it was welcome intelligenceelizabeth had been at

netherfield long enough she attracted him more than he likedand miss

bingley was uncivil to her and more teasing than usual to himself

he wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration

should now escape him nothing that could elevate her with the hope

of influencing his felicity sensible that if such an idea had been

suggested his behaviour during the last day must have material weight

in confirming or crushing it steady to his purpose he scarcely spoke

ten words to her through the whole of saturday and though they were

at one time left by themselves for halfanhour he adhered most

conscientiously to his book and would not even look at her

on sunday after morning service the separation so agreeable to almost

all took place miss bingleys civility to elizabeth increased at last

very rapidly as well as her affection for jane and when they parted

after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her

to see her either at longbourn or netherfield and embracing her most

tenderly she even shook hands with the former elizabeth took leave of

the whole party in the liveliest of spirits

they were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother mrs bennet

wondered at their coming and thought them very wrong to give so much

trouble and was sure jane would have caught cold again but their

father though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure was really

glad to see them he had felt their importance in the family circle the

evening conversation when they were all assembled had lost much of

its animation and almost all its sense by the absence of jane and

elizabeth

they found mary as usual deep in the study of thoroughbass and human

nature and had some extracts to admire and some new observations of

threadbare morality to listen to catherine and lydia had information

for them of a different sort much had been done and much had been said

in the regiment since the preceding wednesday several of the officers

had dined lately with their uncle a private had been flogged and it

had actually been hinted that colonel forster was going to be married

chapter 13

i hope my dear said mr bennet to his wife as they were at

breakfast the next morning that you have ordered a good dinner today

because i have reason to expect an addition to our family party

who do you mean my dear i know of nobody that is coming i am sure

unless charlotte lucas should happen to call inand i hope my dinners

are good enough for her i do not believe she often sees such at home

the person of whom i speak is a gentleman and a stranger

mrs bennets eyes sparkled a gentleman and a stranger it is mr

bingley i am sure well i am sure i shall be extremely glad to see mr

bingley butgood lord how unlucky there is not a bit of fish to be

got today lydia my love ring the belli must speak to hill this

moment

it is not mr bingley said her husband it is a person whom i

never saw in the whole course of my life

this roused a general astonishment and he had the pleasure of being

eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once

after amusing himself some time with their curiosity he thus explained

about a month ago i received this letter and about a fortnight ago

i answered it for i thought it a case of some delicacy and requiring

early attention it is from my cousin mr collins who when i am dead

may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases

oh my dear cried his wife i cannot bear to hear that mentioned

pray do not talk of that odious man i do think it is the hardest thing

in the world that your estate should be entailed away from your own

children and i am sure if i had been you i should have tried long ago

to do something or other about it

jane and elizabeth tried to explain to her the nature of an entail they

had often attempted to do it before but it was a subject on which

mrs bennet was beyond the reach of reason and she continued to rail

bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of

five daughters in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about

it certainly is a most iniquitous affair said mr bennet and

nothing can clear mr collins from the guilt of inheriting longbourn

but if you will listen to his letter you may perhaps be a little

softened by his manner of expressing himself

no that i am sure i shall not and i think it is very impertinent of

him to write to you at all and very hypocritical i hate such false

friends why could he not keep on quarreling with you as his father did

before him

why indeed he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that

head as you will hear

hunsford near westerham kent 15th october

dear sir

the disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured

father always gave me much uneasiness and since i have had the

misfortune to lose him i have frequently wished to heal the breach but

for some time i was kept back by my own doubts fearing lest it might

seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with anyone

with whom it had always pleased him to be at variancethere mrs

bennetmy mind however is now made up on the subject for having

received ordination at easter i have been so fortunate as to be

distinguished by the patronage of the right honourable lady catherine de

bourgh widow of sir lewis de bourgh whose bounty and beneficence has

preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish where it shall be

my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her

ladyship and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which

are instituted by the church of england as a clergyman moreover i

feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in

all families within the reach of my influence and on these grounds i

flatter myself that my present overtures are highly commendable and

that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of longbourn estate

will be kindly overlooked on your side and not lead you to reject the

offered olivebranch i cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the

means of injuring your amiable daughters and beg leave to apologise for

it as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible

amendsbut of this hereafter if you should have no objection to

receive me into your house i propose myself the satisfaction of waiting

on you and your family monday november 18th by four oclock and

shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the saturday seennight

following which i can do without any inconvenience as lady catherine

is far from objecting to my occasional absence on a sunday provided

that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the dayi

remain dear sir with respectful compliments to your lady and

daughters your wellwisher and friend

william collins

at four oclock therefore we may expect this peacemaking gentleman

said mr bennet as he folded up the letter he seems to be a most

conscientious and polite young man upon my word and i doubt not will

prove a valuable acquaintance especially if lady catherine should be so

indulgent as to let him come to us again

there is some sense in what he says about the girls however and if

he is disposed to make them any amends i shall not be the person to

discourage him

though it is difficult said jane to guess in what way he can mean

to make us the atonement he thinks our due the wish is certainly to his

credit

elizabeth was chiefly struck by his extraordinary deference for lady

catherine and his kind intention of christening marrying and burying

his parishioners whenever it were required

he must be an oddity i think said she i cannot make him

outthere is something very pompous in his styleand what can he

mean by apologising for being next in the entailwe cannot suppose he

would help it if he couldcould he be a sensible man sir

no my dear i think not i have great hopes of finding him quite the

reverse there is a mixture of servility and selfimportance in his

letter which promises well i am impatient to see him

in point of composition said mary the letter does not seem

defective the idea of the olivebranch perhaps is not wholly new yet i

think it is well expressed

to catherine and lydia neither the letter nor its writer were in any

degree interesting it was next to impossible that their cousin should

come in a scarlet coat and it was now some weeks since they had

received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour as for

their mother mr collinss letter had done away much of her illwill

and she was preparing to see him with a degree of composure which

astonished her husband and daughters

mr collins was punctual to his time and was received with great

politeness by the whole family mr bennet indeed said little but the

ladies were ready enough to talk and mr collins seemed neither in

need of encouragement nor inclined to be silent himself he was a

tall heavylooking young man of fiveandtwenty his air was grave and

stately and his manners were very formal he had not been long seated

before he complimented mrs bennet on having so fine a family of

daughters said he had heard much of their beauty but that in this

instance fame had fallen short of the truth and added that he did

not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage this

gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers but mrs

bennet who quarreled with no compliments answered most readily

you are very kind i am sure and i wish with all my heart it may

prove so for else they will be destitute enough things are settled so

oddly

you allude perhaps to the entail of this estate

ah sir i do indeed it is a grievous affair to my poor girls you

must confess not that i mean to find fault with you for such things

i know are all chance in this world there is no knowing how estates

will go when once they come to be entailed

i am very sensible madam of the hardship to my fair cousins and

could say much on the subject but that i am cautious of appearing

forward and precipitate but i can assure the young ladies that i come

prepared to admire them at present i will not say more but perhaps

when we are better acquainted

he was interrupted by a summons to dinner and the girls smiled on each

other they were not the only objects of mr collinss admiration the

hall the diningroom and all its furniture were examined and praised

and his commendation of everything would have touched mrs bennets

heart but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his

own future property the dinner too in its turn was highly admired and

he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its

cooking was owing but he was set right there by mrs bennet who

assured him with some asperity that they were very well able to keep a

good cook and that her daughters had nothing to do in the kitchen he

begged pardon for having displeased her in a softened tone she declared

herself not at all offended but he continued to apologise for about a

quarter of an hour

chapter 14

during dinner mr bennet scarcely spoke at all but when the servants

were withdrawn he thought it time to have some conversation with his

guest and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to

shine by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness lady

catherine de bourghs attention to his wishes and consideration for

his comfort appeared very remarkable mr bennet could not have chosen

better mr collins was eloquent in her praise the subject elevated him

to more than usual solemnity of manner and with a most important aspect

he protested that he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in

a person of ranksuch affability and condescension as he had himself

experienced from lady catherine she had been graciously pleased to

approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of

preaching before her she had also asked him twice to dine at rosings

and had sent for him only the saturday before to make up her pool of

quadrille in the evening lady catherine was reckoned proud by many

people he knew but he had never seen anything but affability in her

she had always spoken to him as she would to any other gentleman she

made not the smallest objection to his joining in the society of the

neighbourhood nor to his leaving the parish occasionally for a week or

two to visit his relations she had even condescended to advise him to

marry as soon as he could provided he chose with discretion and had

once paid him a visit in his humble parsonage where she had perfectly

approved all the alterations he had been making and had even vouchsafed

to suggest some herselfsome shelves in the closet up stairs

that is all very proper and civil i am sure said mrs bennet and

i dare say she is a very agreeable woman it is a pity that great ladies

in general are not more like her does she live near you sir

the garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane

from rosings park her ladyships residence

i think you said she was a widow sir has she any family

she has only one daughter the heiress of rosings and of very

extensive property

ah said mrs bennet shaking her head then she is better off than

many girls and what sort of young lady is she is she handsome

she is a most charming young lady indeed lady catherine herself says

that in point of true beauty miss de bourgh is far superior to the

handsomest of her sex because there is that in her features which marks

the young lady of distinguished birth she is unfortunately of a sickly

constitution which has prevented her from making that progress in many

accomplishments which she could not have otherwise failed of as i am

informed by the lady who superintended her education and who still

resides with them but she is perfectly amiable and often condescends

to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies

has she been presented i do not remember her name among the ladies at

court

her indifferent state of health unhappily prevents her being in town

and by that means as i told lady catherine one day has deprived the

british court of its brightest ornament her ladyship seemed pleased

with the idea and you may imagine that i am happy on every occasion to

offer those little delicate compliments which are always acceptable

to ladies i have more than once observed to lady catherine that

her charming daughter seemed born to be a duchess and that the most

elevated rank instead of giving her consequence would be adorned by

her these are the kind of little things which please her ladyship and

it is a sort of attention which i conceive myself peculiarly bound to

pay

you judge very properly said mr bennet and it is happy for you

that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy may i ask

whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the

moment or are the result of previous study

they arise chiefly from what is passing at the time and though i

sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant

compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions i always wish to

give them as unstudied an air as possible

mr bennets expectations were fully answered his cousin was as absurd

as he had hoped and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment

maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance

and except in an occasional glance at elizabeth requiring no partner

in his pleasure

by teatime however the dose had been enough and mr bennet was glad

to take his guest into the drawingroom again and when tea was over

glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies mr collins readily

assented and a book was produced but on beholding it for everything

announced it to be from a circulating library he started back and

begging pardon protested that he never read novels kitty stared at

him and lydia exclaimed other books were produced and after some

deliberation he chose fordyces sermons lydia gaped as he opened the

volume and before he had with very monotonous solemnity read three

pages she interrupted him with

do you know mamma that my uncle phillips talks of turning away

richard and if he does colonel forster will hire him my aunt told me

so herself on saturday i shall walk to meryton tomorrow to hear more

about it and to ask when mr denny comes back from town

lydia was bid by her two eldest sisters to hold her tongue but mr

collins much offended laid aside his book and said

i have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books

of a serious stamp though written solely for their benefit it amazes

me i confess for certainly there can be nothing so advantageous to

them as instruction but i will no longer importune my young cousin

then turning to mr bennet he offered himself as his antagonist at

backgammon mr bennet accepted the challenge observing that he acted

very wisely in leaving the girls to their own trifling amusements

mrs bennet and her daughters apologised most civilly for lydias

interruption and promised that it should not occur again if he would

resume his book but mr collins after assuring them that he bore his

young cousin no illwill and should never resent her behaviour as any

affront seated himself at another table with mr bennet and prepared

for backgammon

chapter 15

mr collins was not a sensible man and the deficiency of nature had

been but little assisted by education or society the greatest part

of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and

miserly father and though he belonged to one of the universities he

had merely kept the necessary terms without forming at it any useful

acquaintance the subjection in which his father had brought him up had

given him originally great humility of manner but it was now a

good deal counteracted by the selfconceit of a weak head living in

retirement and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected

prosperity a fortunate chance had recommended him to lady catherine de

bourgh when the living of hunsford was vacant and the respect which

he felt for her high rank and his veneration for her as his patroness

mingling with a very good opinion of himself of his authority as a

clergyman and his right as a rector made him altogether a mixture of

pride and obsequiousness selfimportance and humility

having now a good house and a very sufficient income he intended to

marry and in seeking a reconciliation with the longbourn family he had

a wife in view as he meant to choose one of the daughters if he found

them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report

this was his plan of amendsof atonementfor inheriting their fathers

estate and he thought it an excellent one full of eligibility and

suitableness and excessively generous and disinterested on his own

part

his plan did not vary on seeing them miss bennets lovely face

confirmed his views and established all his strictest notions of what

was due to seniority and for the first evening she was his settled

choice the next morning however made an alteration for in a

quarter of an hours teteatete with mrs bennet before breakfast a

conversation beginning with his parsonagehouse and leading naturally

to the avowal of his hopes that a mistress might be found for it at

longbourn produced from her amid very complaisant smiles and general

encouragement a caution against the very jane he had fixed on as to

her younger daughters she could not take upon her to sayshe could

not positively answerbut she did not know of any prepossession her

eldest daughter she must just mentionshe felt it incumbent on her

to hint was likely to be very soon engaged

mr collins had only to change from jane to elizabethand it was soon

donedone while mrs bennet was stirring the fire elizabeth equally

next to jane in birth and beauty succeeded her of course

mrs bennet treasured up the hint and trusted that she might soon have

two daughters married and the man whom she could not bear to speak of

the day before was now high in her good graces

lydias intention of walking to meryton was not forgotten every sister

except mary agreed to go with her and mr collins was to attend them

at the request of mr bennet who was most anxious to get rid of him

and have his library to himself for thither mr collins had followed

him after breakfast and there he would continue nominally engaged with

one of the largest folios in the collection but really talking to mr

bennet with little cessation of his house and garden at hunsford such

doings discomposed mr bennet exceedingly in his library he had been

always sure of leisure and tranquillity and though prepared as he told

elizabeth to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the

house he was used to be free from them there his civility therefore

was most prompt in inviting mr collins to join his daughters in their

walk and mr collins being in fact much better fitted for a walker

than a reader was extremely pleased to close his large book and go

in pompous nothings on his side and civil assents on that of his

cousins their time passed till they entered meryton the attention of

the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him their eyes were

immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers and

nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed or a really new muslin in

a shop window could recall them

but the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man whom

they had never seen before of most gentlemanlike appearance walking

with another officer on the other side of the way the officer was

the very mr denny concerning whose return from london lydia came

to inquire and he bowed as they passed all were struck with the

strangers air all wondered who he could be and kitty and lydia

determined if possible to find out led the way across the street under

pretense of wanting something in an opposite shop and fortunately

had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen turning back had

reached the same spot mr denny addressed them directly and entreated

permission to introduce his friend mr wickham who had returned with

him the day before from town and he was happy to say had accepted a

commission in their corps this was exactly as it should be for the

young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming

his appearance was greatly in his favour he had all the best part of

beauty a fine countenance a good figure and very pleasing address

the introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness

of conversationa readiness at the same time perfectly correct and

unassuming and the whole party were still standing and talking together

very agreeably when the sound of horses drew their notice and darcy

and bingley were seen riding down the street on distinguishing the

ladies of the group the two gentlemen came directly towards them and

began the usual civilities bingley was the principal spokesman and

miss bennet the principal object he was then he said on his way to

longbourn on purpose to inquire after her mr darcy corroborated

it with a bow and was beginning to determine not to fix his eyes

on elizabeth when they were suddenly arrested by the sight of the

stranger and elizabeth happening to see the countenance of both as they

looked at each other was all astonishment at the effect of the meeting

both changed colour one looked white the other red mr wickham

after a few moments touched his hata salutation which mr darcy just

deigned to return what could be the meaning of it it was impossible to

imagine it was impossible not to long to know

in another minute mr bingley but without seeming to have noticed what

passed took leave and rode on with his friend

mr denny and mr wickham walked with the young ladies to the door of

mr phillips house and then made their bows in spite of miss lydias

pressing entreaties that they should come in and even in spite of

mrs phillipss throwing up the parlour window and loudly seconding the

invitation

mrs phillips was always glad to see her nieces and the two eldest

from their recent absence were particularly welcome and she was

eagerly expressing her surprise at their sudden return home which as

their own carriage had not fetched them she should have known nothing

about if she had not happened to see mr joness shopboy in the

street who had told her that they were not to send any more draughts to

netherfield because the miss bennets were come away when her civility

was claimed towards mr collins by janes introduction of him she

received him with her very best politeness which he returned with

as much more apologising for his intrusion without any previous

acquaintance with her which he could not help flattering himself

however might be justified by his relationship to the young ladies who

introduced him to her notice mrs phillips was quite awed by such an

excess of good breeding but her contemplation of one stranger was soon

put to an end by exclamations and inquiries about the other of whom

however she could only tell her nieces what they already knew that

mr denny had brought him from london and that he was to have a

lieutenants commission in the shire she had been watching him the

last hour she said as he walked up and down the street and had mr

wickham appeared kitty and lydia would certainly have continued the

occupation but unluckily no one passed windows now except a few of the

officers who in comparison with the stranger were become stupid

disagreeable fellows some of them were to dine with the phillipses

the next day and their aunt promised to make her husband call on mr

wickham and give him an invitation also if the family from longbourn

would come in the evening this was agreed to and mrs phillips

protested that they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery

tickets and a little bit of hot supper afterwards the prospect of such

delights was very cheering and they parted in mutual good spirits mr

collins repeated his apologies in quitting the room and was assured

with unwearying civility that they were perfectly needless

as they walked home elizabeth related to jane what she had seen pass

between the two gentlemen but though jane would have defended either

or both had they appeared to be in the wrong she could no more explain

such behaviour than her sister

mr collins on his return highly gratified mrs bennet by admiring

mrs phillipss manners and politeness he protested that except lady

catherine and her daughter he had never seen a more elegant woman

for she had not only received him with the utmost civility but even

pointedly included him in her invitation for the next evening although

utterly unknown to her before something he supposed might be

attributed to his connection with them but yet he had never met with so

much attention in the whole course of his life

chapter 16

as no objection was made to the young peoples engagement with their

aunt and all mr collinss scruples of leaving mr and mrs bennet for

a single evening during his visit were most steadily resisted the coach

conveyed him and his five cousins at a suitable hour to meryton and

the girls had the pleasure of hearing as they entered the drawingroom

that mr wickham had accepted their uncles invitation and was then in

the house

when this information was given and they had all taken their seats mr

collins was at leisure to look around him and admire and he was so much

struck with the size and furniture of the apartment that he declared he

might almost have supposed himself in the small summer breakfast

parlour at rosings a comparison that did not at first convey much

gratification but when mrs phillips understood from him what

rosings was and who was its proprietorwhen she had listened to the

description of only one of lady catherines drawingrooms and found

that the chimneypiece alone had cost eight hundred pounds she felt all

the force of the compliment and would hardly have resented a comparison

with the housekeepers room

in describing to her all the grandeur of lady catherine and her mansion

with occasional digressions in praise of his own humble abode and

the improvements it was receiving he was happily employed until the

gentlemen joined them and he found in mrs phillips a very attentive

listener whose opinion of his consequence increased with what she

heard and who was resolving to retail it all among her neighbours as

soon as she could to the girls who could not listen to their cousin

and who had nothing to do but to wish for an instrument and examine

their own indifferent imitations of china on the mantelpiece the

interval of waiting appeared very long it was over at last however

the gentlemen did approach and when mr wickham walked into the room

elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before nor thinking

of him since with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration

the officers of the shire were in general a very creditable

gentlemanlike set and the best of them were of the present party but

mr wickham was as far beyond them all in person countenance air and

walk as they were superior to the broadfaced stuffy uncle phillips

breathing port wine who followed them into the room

mr wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was

turned and elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated

himself and the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into

conversation though it was only on its being a wet night made her feel

that the commonest dullest most threadbare topic might be rendered

interesting by the skill of the speaker

with such rivals for the notice of the fair as mr wickham and the

officers mr collins seemed to sink into insignificance to the young

ladies he certainly was nothing but he had still at intervals a kind

listener in mrs phillips and was by her watchfulness most abundantly

supplied with coffee and muffin when the cardtables were placed he

had the opportunity of obliging her in turn by sitting down to whist

i know little of the game at present said he but i shall be glad

to improve myself for in my situation in life mrs phillips was very

glad for his compliance but could not wait for his reason

mr wickham did not play at whist and with ready delight was he

received at the other table between elizabeth and lydia at first there

seemed danger of lydias engrossing him entirely for she was a most

determined talker but being likewise extremely fond of lottery tickets

she soon grew too much interested in the game too eager in making bets

and exclaiming after prizes to have attention for anyone in particular

allowing for the common demands of the game mr wickham was therefore

at leisure to talk to elizabeth and she was very willing to hear

him though what she chiefly wished to hear she could not hope to be

toldthe history of his acquaintance with mr darcy she dared not

even mention that gentleman her curiosity however was unexpectedly

relieved mr wickham began the subject himself he inquired how far

netherfield was from meryton and after receiving her answer asked in

a hesitating manner how long mr darcy had been staying there

about a month said elizabeth and then unwilling to let the subject

drop added he is a man of very large property in derbyshire i

understand

yes replied mr wickham his estate there is a noble one a clear

ten thousand per annum you could not have met with a person more

capable of giving you certain information on that head than myself for

i have been connected with his family in a particular manner from my

infancy

elizabeth could not but look surprised

you may well be surprised miss bennet at such an assertion after

seeing as you probably might the very cold manner of our meeting

yesterday are you much acquainted with mr darcy

as much as i ever wish to be cried elizabeth very warmly i have

spent four days in the same house with him and i think him very

disagreeable

i have no right to give my opinion said wickham as to his being

agreeable or otherwise i am not qualified to form one i have known him

too long and too well to be a fair judge it is impossible for me

to be impartial but i believe your opinion of him would in general

astonishand perhaps you would not express it quite so strongly

anywhere else here you are in your own family

upon my word i say no more here than i might say in any house in

the neighbourhood except netherfield he is not at all liked in

hertfordshire everybody is disgusted with his pride you will not find

him more favourably spoken of by anyone

i cannot pretend to be sorry said wickham after a short

interruption that he or that any man should not be estimated beyond

their deserts but with him i believe it does not often happen the

world is blinded by his fortune and consequence or frightened by his

high and imposing manners and sees him only as he chooses to be seen

i should take him even on my slight acquaintance to be an

illtempered man wickham only shook his head

i wonder said he at the next opportunity of speaking whether he is

likely to be in this country much longer

i do not at all know but i heard nothing of his going away when i

was at netherfield i hope your plans in favour of the shire will

not be affected by his being in the neighbourhood

oh noit is not for me to be driven away by mr darcy if he

wishes to avoid seeing me he must go we are not on friendly terms

and it always gives me pain to meet him but i have no reason for

avoiding him but what i might proclaim before all the world a sense

of very great illusage and most painful regrets at his being what he

is his father miss bennet the late mr darcy was one of the best men

that ever breathed and the truest friend i ever had and i can never

be in company with this mr darcy without being grieved to the soul by

a thousand tender recollections his behaviour to myself has been

scandalous but i verily believe i could forgive him anything and

everything rather than his disappointing the hopes and disgracing the

memory of his father

elizabeth found the interest of the subject increase and listened with

all her heart but the delicacy of it prevented further inquiry

mr wickham began to speak on more general topics meryton the

neighbourhood the society appearing highly pleased with all that

he had yet seen and speaking of the latter with gentle but very

intelligible gallantry

it was the prospect of constant society and good society he added

which was my chief inducement to enter the shire i knew it to be

a most respectable agreeable corps and my friend denny tempted me

further by his account of their present quarters and the very great

attentions and excellent acquaintances meryton had procured them

society i own is necessary to me i have been a disappointed man and

my spirits will not bear solitude i must have employment and society

a military life is not what i was intended for but circumstances have

now made it eligible the church ought to have been my professioni

was brought up for the church and i should at this time have been in

possession of a most valuable living had it pleased the gentleman we

were speaking of just now

indeed

yesthe late mr darcy bequeathed me the next presentation of the best

living in his gift he was my godfather and excessively attached to me

i cannot do justice to his kindness he meant to provide for me amply

and thought he had done it but when the living fell it was given

elsewhere

good heavens cried elizabeth but how could that be how could his

will be disregarded why did you not seek legal redress

there was just such an informality in the terms of the bequest as to

give me no hope from law a man of honour could not have doubted the

intention but mr darcy chose to doubt itor to treat it as a merely

conditional recommendation and to assert that i had forfeited all claim

to it by extravagance imprudencein short anything or nothing certain

it is that the living became vacant two years ago exactly as i was

of an age to hold it and that it was given to another man and no

less certain is it that i cannot accuse myself of having really done

anything to deserve to lose it i have a warm unguarded temper and

i may have spoken my opinion of him and to him too freely i can

recall nothing worse but the fact is that we are very different sort

of men and that he hates me

this is quite shocking he deserves to be publicly disgraced

some time or other he will bebut it shall not be by me till i

can forget his father i can never defy or expose him

elizabeth honoured him for such feelings and thought him handsomer than

ever as he expressed them

but what said she after a pause can have been his motive what can

have induced him to behave so cruelly

a thorough determined dislike of mea dislike which i cannot but

attribute in some measure to jealousy had the late mr darcy liked me

less his son might have borne with me better but his fathers uncommon

attachment to me irritated him i believe very early in life he had

not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stoodthe sort

of preference which was often given me

i had not thought mr darcy so bad as thisthough i have never liked

him i had not thought so very ill of him i had supposed him to be

despising his fellowcreatures in general but did not suspect him of

descending to such malicious revenge such injustice such inhumanity as

this

after a few minutes reflection however she continued i do

remember his boasting one day at netherfield of the implacability of

his resentments of his having an unforgiving temper his disposition

must be dreadful

i will not trust myself on the subject replied wickham i can hardly

be just to him

elizabeth was again deep in thought and after a time exclaimed to

treat in such a manner the godson the friend the favourite of his

father she could have added a young man too like you whose very

countenance may vouch for your being amiablebut she contented herself

with and one too who had probably been his companion from childhood

connected together as i think you said in the closest manner

we were born in the same parish within the same park the greatest

part of our youth was passed together inmates of the same house

sharing the same amusements objects of the same parental care my

father began life in the profession which your uncle mr phillips

appears to do so much credit tobut he gave up everything to be of

use to the late mr darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the

pemberley property he was most highly esteemed by mr darcy a most

intimate confidential friend mr darcy often acknowledged himself to

be under the greatest obligations to my fathers active superintendence

and when immediately before my fathers death mr darcy gave him a

voluntary promise of providing for me i am convinced that he felt it to

be as much a debt of gratitude to him as of his affection to myself

how strange cried elizabeth how abominable i wonder that the very

pride of this mr darcy has not made him just to you if from no better

motive that he should not have been too proud to be dishonestfor

dishonesty i must call it

it is wonderful replied wickham for almost all his actions may

be traced to pride and pride had often been his best friend it has

connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling but we are

none of us consistent and in his behaviour to me there were stronger

impulses even than pride

can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good

yes it has often led him to be liberal and generous to give his money

freely to display hospitality to assist his tenants and relieve the

poor family pride and filial pridefor he is very proud of what

his father washave done this not to appear to disgrace his family

to degenerate from the popular qualities or lose the influence of the

pemberley house is a powerful motive he has also brotherly pride

which with some brotherly affection makes him a very kind and

careful guardian of his sister and you will hear him generally cried up

as the most attentive and best of brothers

what sort of girl is miss darcy

he shook his head i wish i could call her amiable it gives me pain to

speak ill of a darcy but she is too much like her brothervery very

proud as a child she was affectionate and pleasing and extremely fond

of me and i have devoted hours and hours to her amusement but she is

nothing to me now she is a handsome girl about fifteen or sixteen

and i understand highly accomplished since her fathers death her

home has been london where a lady lives with her and superintends her

education

after many pauses and many trials of other subjects elizabeth could not

help reverting once more to the first and saying

i am astonished at his intimacy with mr bingley how can mr bingley

who seems good humour itself and is i really believe truly amiable

be in friendship with such a man how can they suit each other do you

know mr bingley

not at all

he is a sweettempered amiable charming man he cannot know what mr

darcy is

probably not but mr darcy can please where he chooses he does not

want abilities he can be a conversible companion if he thinks it worth

his while among those who are at all his equals in consequence he is

a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous his

pride never deserts him but with the rich he is liberalminded just

sincere rational honourable and perhaps agreeableallowing something

for fortune and figure

the whist party soon afterwards breaking up the players gathered round

the other table and mr collins took his station between his cousin

elizabeth and mrs phillips the usual inquiries as to his success were

made by the latter it had not been very great he had lost every

point but when mrs phillips began to express her concern thereupon

he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least

importance that he considered the money as a mere trifle and begged

that she would not make herself uneasy

i know very well madam said he that when persons sit down to a

cardtable they must take their chances of these things and happily i

am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object there

are undoubtedly many who could not say the same but thanks to lady

catherine de bourgh i am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding

little matters

mr wickhams attention was caught and after observing mr collins for

a few moments he asked elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation

was very intimately acquainted with the family of de bourgh

lady catherine de bourgh she replied has very lately given him

a living i hardly know how mr collins was first introduced to her

notice but he certainly has not known her long

you know of course that lady catherine de bourgh and lady anne darcy

were sisters consequently that she is aunt to the present mr darcy

no indeed i did not i knew nothing at all of lady catherines

connections i never heard of her existence till the day before

yesterday

her daughter miss de bourgh will have a very large fortune and it is

believed that she and her cousin will unite the two estates

this information made elizabeth smile as she thought of poor miss

bingley vain indeed must be all her attentions vain and useless her

affection for his sister and her praise of himself if he were already

selfdestined for another

mr collins said she speaks highly both of lady catherine and her

daughter but from some particulars that he has related of her ladyship

i suspect his gratitude misleads him and that in spite of her being his

patroness she is an arrogant conceited woman

i believe her to be both in a great degree replied wickham i have

not seen her for many years but i very well remember that i never liked

her and that her manners were dictatorial and insolent she has the

reputation of being remarkably sensible and clever but i rather believe

she derives part of her abilities from her rank and fortune part from

her authoritative manner and the rest from the pride for her

nephew who chooses that everyone connected with him should have an

understanding of the first class

elizabeth allowed that he had given a very rational account of it and

they continued talking together with mutual satisfaction till supper

put an end to cards and gave the rest of the ladies their share of mr

wickhams attentions there could be no conversation in the noise

of mrs phillipss supper party but his manners recommended him to

everybody whatever he said was said well and whatever he did done

gracefully elizabeth went away with her head full of him she could

think of nothing but of mr wickham and of what he had told her all

the way home but there was not time for her even to mention his name

as they went for neither lydia nor mr collins were once silent lydia

talked incessantly of lottery tickets of the fish she had lost and the

fish she had won and mr collins in describing the civility of mr and

mrs phillips protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses

at whist enumerating all the dishes at supper and repeatedly fearing

that he crowded his cousins had more to say than he could well manage

before the carriage stopped at longbourn house

chapter 17

elizabeth related to jane the next day what had passed between mr

wickham and herself jane listened with astonishment and concern she

knew not how to believe that mr darcy could be so unworthy of mr

bingleys regard and yet it was not in her nature to question the

veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as wickham the

possibility of his having endured such unkindness was enough to

interest all her tender feelings and nothing remained therefore to be

done but to think well of them both to defend the conduct of each

and throw into the account of accident or mistake whatever could not be

otherwise explained

they have both said she been deceived i dare say in some way

or other of which we can form no idea interested people have perhaps

misrepresented each to the other it is in short impossible for us to

conjecture the causes or circumstances which may have alienated them

without actual blame on either side

very true indeed and now my dear jane what have you got to say on

behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the

business do clear them too or we shall be obliged to think ill of

somebody

laugh as much as you choose but you will not laugh me out of my

opinion my dearest lizzy do but consider in what a disgraceful light

it places mr darcy to be treating his fathers favourite in such

a manner one whom his father had promised to provide for it is

impossible no man of common humanity no man who had any value for his

character could be capable of it can his most intimate friends be so

excessively deceived in him oh no

i can much more easily believe mr bingleys being imposed on than

that mr wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me

last night names facts everything mentioned without ceremony if it

be not so let mr darcy contradict it besides there was truth in his

looks

it is difficult indeedit is distressing one does not know what to

think

i beg your pardon one knows exactly what to think

but jane could think with certainty on only one pointthat mr bingley

if he had been imposed on would have much to suffer when the affair

became public

the two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery where this

conversation passed by the arrival of the very persons of whom they had

been speaking mr bingley and his sisters came to give their personal

invitation for the longexpected ball at netherfield which was fixed

for the following tuesday the two ladies were delighted to see their

dear friend again called it an age since they had met and repeatedly

asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation to

the rest of the family they paid little attention avoiding mrs bennet

as much as possible saying not much to elizabeth and nothing at all to

the others they were soon gone again rising from their seats with an

activity which took their brother by surprise and hurrying off as if

eager to escape from mrs bennets civilities

the prospect of the netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every

female of the family mrs bennet chose to consider it as given in

compliment to her eldest daughter and was particularly flattered

by receiving the invitation from mr bingley himself instead of a

ceremonious card jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the

society of her two friends and the attentions of their brother and

elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with mr

wickham and of seeing a confirmation of everything in mr darcys look

and behaviour the happiness anticipated by catherine and lydia depended

less on any single event or any particular person for though they

each like elizabeth meant to dance half the evening with mr wickham

he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them and a ball

was at any rate a ball and even mary could assure her family that she

had no disinclination for it

while i can have my mornings to myself said she it is enoughi

think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements

society has claims on us all and i profess myself one of those

who consider intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for

everybody

elizabeths spirits were so high on this occasion that though she did

not often speak unnecessarily to mr collins she could not help asking

him whether he intended to accept mr bingleys invitation and if

he did whether he would think it proper to join in the evenings

amusement and she was rather surprised to find that he entertained no

scruple whatever on that head and was very far from dreading a rebuke

either from the archbishop or lady catherine de bourgh by venturing to

dance

i am by no means of the opinion i assure you said he that a ball

of this kind given by a young man of character to respectable people

can have any evil tendency and i am so far from objecting to dancing

myself that i shall hope to be honoured with the hands of all my fair

cousins in the course of the evening and i take this opportunity of

soliciting yours miss elizabeth for the two first dances especially

a preference which i trust my cousin jane will attribute to the right

cause and not to any disrespect for her

elizabeth felt herself completely taken in she had fully proposed being

engaged by mr wickham for those very dances and to have mr collins

instead her liveliness had never been worse timed there was no help

for it however mr wickhams happiness and her own were perforce

delayed a little longer and mr collinss proposal accepted with as

good a grace as she could she was not the better pleased with his

gallantry from the idea it suggested of something more it now first

struck her that she was selected from among her sisters as worthy

of being mistress of hunsford parsonage and of assisting to form a

quadrille table at rosings in the absence of more eligible visitors

the idea soon reached to conviction as she observed his increasing

civilities toward herself and heard his frequent attempt at a

compliment on her wit and vivacity and though more astonished than

gratified herself by this effect of her charms it was not long before

her mother gave her to understand that the probability of their marriage

was extremely agreeable to her elizabeth however did not choose

to take the hint being well aware that a serious dispute must be the

consequence of any reply mr collins might never make the offer and

till he did it was useless to quarrel about him

if there had not been a netherfield ball to prepare for and talk of the

younger miss bennets would have been in a very pitiable state at this

time for from the day of the invitation to the day of the ball there

was such a succession of rain as prevented their walking to meryton

once no aunt no officers no news could be sought afterthe very

shoeroses for netherfield were got by proxy even elizabeth might have

found some trial of her patience in weather which totally suspended the

improvement of her acquaintance with mr wickham and nothing less than

a dance on tuesday could have made such a friday saturday sunday and

monday endurable to kitty and lydia

chapter 18

till elizabeth entered the drawingroom at netherfield and looked in

vain for mr wickham among the cluster of red coats there assembled a

doubt of his being present had never occurred to her the certainty

of meeting him had not been checked by any of those recollections that

might not unreasonably have alarmed her she had dressed with more than

usual care and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all

that remained unsubdued of his heart trusting that it was not more than

might be won in the course of the evening but in an instant arose

the dreadful suspicion of his being purposely omitted for mr darcys

pleasure in the bingleys invitation to the officers and though

this was not exactly the case the absolute fact of his absence was

pronounced by his friend denny to whom lydia eagerly applied and who

told them that wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the

day before and was not yet returned adding with a significant smile

i do not imagine his business would have called him away just now if

he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here

this part of his intelligence though unheard by lydia was caught by

elizabeth and as it assured her that darcy was not less answerable for

wickhams absence than if her first surmise had been just every

feeling of displeasure against the former was so sharpened by immediate

disappointment that she could hardly reply with tolerable civility to

the polite inquiries which he directly afterwards approached to make

attendance forbearance patience with darcy was injury to wickham she

was resolved against any sort of conversation with him and turned away

with a degree of illhumour which she could not wholly surmount even in

speaking to mr bingley whose blind partiality provoked her

but elizabeth was not formed for illhumour and though every prospect

of her own was destroyed for the evening it could not dwell long on her

spirits and having told all her griefs to charlotte lucas whom she had

not seen for a week she was soon able to make a voluntary transition

to the oddities of her cousin and to point him out to her particular

notice the first two dances however brought a return of distress

they were dances of mortification mr collins awkward and solemn

apologising instead of attending and often moving wrong without being

aware of it gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable

partner for a couple of dances can give the moment of her release from

him was ecstasy

she danced next with an officer and had the refreshment of talking of

wickham and of hearing that he was universally liked when those dances

were over she returned to charlotte lucas and was in conversation with

her when she found herself suddenly addressed by mr darcy who took

her so much by surprise in his application for her hand that

without knowing what she did she accepted him he walked away again

immediately and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of

mind charlotte tried to console her

i dare say you will find him very agreeable

heaven forbid that would be the greatest misfortune of all to find

a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate do not wish me such an

evil

when the dancing recommenced however and darcy approached to claim her

hand charlotte could not help cautioning her in a whisper not to be a

simpleton and allow her fancy for wickham to make her appear unpleasant

in the eyes of a man ten times his consequence elizabeth made no

answer and took her place in the set amazed at the dignity to which

she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to mr darcy and

reading in her neighbours looks their equal amazement in beholding

it they stood for some time without speaking a word and she began to

imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances and at

first was resolved not to break it till suddenly fancying that it would

be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk she made

some slight observation on the dance he replied and was again

silent after a pause of some minutes she addressed him a second time

withit is your turn to say something now mr darcy i talked

about the dance and you ought to make some sort of remark on the size

of the room or the number of couples

he smiled and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be

said

very well that reply will do for the present perhaps by and by i may

observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones but

now we may be silent

do you talk by rule then while you are dancing

sometimes one must speak a little you know it would look odd to be

entirely silent for half an hour together and yet for the advantage of

some conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the

trouble of saying as little as possible

are you consulting your own feelings in the present case or do you

imagine that you are gratifying mine

both replied elizabeth archly for i have always seen a great

similarity in the turn of our minds we are each of an unsocial

taciturn disposition unwilling to speak unless we expect to say

something that will amaze the whole room and be handed down to

posterity with all the eclat of a proverb

this is no very striking resemblance of your own character i am sure

said he how near it may be to mine i cannot pretend to say you

think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly

i must not decide on my own performance

he made no answer and they were again silent till they had gone down

the dance when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often

walk to meryton she answered in the affirmative and unable to resist

the temptation added when you met us there the other day we had just

been forming a new acquaintance

the effect was immediate a deeper shade of hauteur overspread his

features but he said not a word and elizabeth though blaming herself

for her own weakness could not go on at length darcy spoke and in a

constrained manner said mr wickham is blessed with such happy manners

as may ensure his making friendswhether he may be equally capable of

retaining them is less certain

he has been so unlucky as to lose your friendship replied elizabeth

with emphasis and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all

his life

darcy made no answer and seemed desirous of changing the subject at

that moment sir william lucas appeared close to them meaning to pass

through the set to the other side of the room but on perceiving mr

darcy he stopped with a bow of superior courtesy to compliment him on

his dancing and his partner

i have been most highly gratified indeed my dear sir such very

superior dancing is not often seen it is evident that you belong to the

first circles allow me to say however that your fair partner does not

disgrace you and that i must hope to have this pleasure often repeated

especially when a certain desirable event my dear eliza glancing at

her sister and bingley shall take place what congratulations will then

flow in i appeal to mr darcybut let me not interrupt you sir you

will not thank me for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that

young lady whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me

the latter part of this address was scarcely heard by darcy but sir

williams allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly and his

eyes were directed with a very serious expression towards bingley and

jane who were dancing together recovering himself however shortly

he turned to his partner and said sir williams interruption has made

me forget what we were talking of

i do not think we were speaking at all sir william could not have

interrupted two people in the room who had less to say for themselves

we have tried two or three subjects already without success and what we

are to talk of next i cannot imagine

what think you of books said he smiling

booksoh no i am sure we never read the same or not with the same

feelings

i am sorry you think so but if that be the case there can at least be

no want of subject we may compare our different opinions

noi cannot talk of books in a ballroom my head is always full of

something else

the present always occupies you in such scenesdoes it said he

with a look of doubt

yes always she replied without knowing what she said for her

thoughts had wandered far from the subject as soon afterwards appeared

by her suddenly exclaiming i remember hearing you once say mr darcy

that you hardly ever forgave that your resentment once created was

unappeasable you are very cautious i suppose as to its being

created

i am said he with a firm voice

and never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice

i hope not

it is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion

to be secure of judging properly at first

may i ask to what these questions tend

merely to the illustration of your character said she endeavouring

to shake off her gravity i am trying to make it out

and what is your success

she shook her head i do not get on at all i hear such different

accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly

i can readily believe answered he gravely that reports may vary

greatly with respect to me and i could wish miss bennet that you were

not to sketch my character at the present moment as there is reason to

fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either

but if i do not take your likeness now i may never have another

opportunity

i would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours he coldly replied

she said no more and they went down the other dance and parted in

silence and on each side dissatisfied though not to an equal degree

for in darcys breast there was a tolerably powerful feeling towards

her which soon procured her pardon and directed all his anger against

another

they had not long separated when miss bingley came towards her and

with an expression of civil disdain accosted her

so miss eliza i hear you are quite delighted with george wickham

your sister has been talking to me about him and asking me a thousand

questions and i find that the young man quite forgot to tell you among

his other communication that he was the son of old wickham the late

mr darcys steward let me recommend you however as a friend not to

give implicit confidence to all his assertions for as to mr darcys

using him ill it is perfectly false for on the contrary he has

always been remarkably kind to him though george wickham has treated

mr darcy in a most infamous manner i do not know the particulars but

i know very well that mr darcy is not in the least to blame that he

cannot bear to hear george wickham mentioned and that though my brother

thought that he could not well avoid including him in his invitation to

the officers he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself

out of the way his coming into the country at all is a most insolent

thing indeed and i wonder how he could presume to do it i pity you

miss eliza for this discovery of your favourites guilt but really

considering his descent one could not expect much better

his guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same said

elizabeth angrily for i have heard you accuse him of nothing worse

than of being the son of mr darcys steward and of that i can

assure you he informed me himself

i beg your pardon replied miss bingley turning away with a sneer

excuse my interferenceit was kindly meant

insolent girl said elizabeth to herself you are much mistaken

if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this i see

nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of mr

darcy she then sought her eldest sister who had undertaken to make

inquiries on the same subject of bingley jane met her with a smile of

such sweet complacency a glow of such happy expression as sufficiently

marked how well she was satisfied with the occurrences of the evening

elizabeth instantly read her feelings and at that moment solicitude for

wickham resentment against his enemies and everything else gave way

before the hope of janes being in the fairest way for happiness

i want to know said she with a countenance no less smiling than her

sisters what you have learnt about mr wickham but perhaps you have

been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person in which case

you may be sure of my pardon

no replied jane i have not forgotten him but i have nothing

satisfactory to tell you mr bingley does not know the whole of

his history and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have

principally offended mr darcy but he will vouch for the good conduct

the probity and honour of his friend and is perfectly convinced that

mr wickham has deserved much less attention from mr darcy than he has

received and i am sorry to say by his account as well as his sisters

mr wickham is by no means a respectable young man i am afraid he has

been very imprudent and has deserved to lose mr darcys regard

mr bingley does not know mr wickham himself

no he never saw him till the other morning at meryton

this account then is what he has received from mr darcy i am

satisfied but what does he say of the living

he does not exactly recollect the circumstances though he has heard

them from mr darcy more than once but he believes that it was left to

him conditionally only

i have not a doubt of mr bingleys sincerity said elizabeth warmly

but you must excuse my not being convinced by assurances only mr

bingleys defense of his friend was a very able one i dare say but

since he is unacquainted with several parts of the story and has learnt

the rest from that friend himself i shall venture to still think of

both gentlemen as i did before

she then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each and on

which there could be no difference of sentiment elizabeth listened with

delight to the happy though modest hopes which jane entertained of mr

bingleys regard and said all in her power to heighten her confidence

in it on their being joined by mr bingley himself elizabeth withdrew

to miss lucas to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last

partner she had scarcely replied before mr collins came up to them

and told her with great exultation that he had just been so fortunate as

to make a most important discovery

i have found out said he by a singular accident that there is now

in the room a near relation of my patroness i happened to overhear the

gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the honours of

the house the names of his cousin miss de bourgh and of her mother lady

catherine how wonderfully these sort of things occur who would have

thought of my meeting with perhaps a nephew of lady catherine de

bourgh in this assembly i am most thankful that the discovery is made

in time for me to pay my respects to him which i am now going to

do and trust he will excuse my not having done it before my total

ignorance of the connection must plead my apology

you are not going to introduce yourself to mr darcy

indeed i am i shall entreat his pardon for not having done it earlier

i believe him to be lady catherines nephew it will be in my power to

assure him that her ladyship was quite well yesterday sennight

elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme assuring him

that mr darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction

as an impertinent freedom rather than a compliment to his aunt that

it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either

side and that if it were it must belong to mr darcy the superior in

consequence to begin the acquaintance mr collins listened to her

with the determined air of following his own inclination and when she

ceased speaking replied thus

my dear miss elizabeth i have the highest opinion in the world in

your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your

understanding but permit me to say that there must be a wide

difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity

and those which regulate the clergy for give me leave to observe that

i consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with

the highest rank in the kingdomprovided that a proper humility of

behaviour is at the same time maintained you must therefore allow me to

follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion which leads me to

perform what i look on as a point of duty pardon me for neglecting to

profit by your advice which on every other subject shall be my constant

guide though in the case before us i consider myself more fitted by

education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young

lady like yourself and with a low bow he left her to attack mr

darcy whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched and whose

astonishment at being so addressed was very evident her cousin prefaced

his speech with a solemn bow and though she could not hear a word of

it she felt as if hearing it all and saw in the motion of his lips the

words apology hunsford and lady catherine de bourgh it vexed

her to see him expose himself to such a man mr darcy was eyeing him

with unrestrained wonder and when at last mr collins allowed him time

to speak replied with an air of distant civility mr collins however

was not discouraged from speaking again and mr darcys contempt seemed

abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech and at the

end of it he only made him a slight bow and moved another way mr

collins then returned to elizabeth

i have no reason i assure you said he to be dissatisfied with my

reception mr darcy seemed much pleased with the attention he answered

me with the utmost civility and even paid me the compliment of saying

that he was so well convinced of lady catherines discernment as to be

certain she could never bestow a favour unworthily it was really a very

handsome thought upon the whole i am much pleased with him

as elizabeth had no longer any interest of her own to pursue she turned

her attention almost entirely on her sister and mr bingley and the

train of agreeable reflections which her observations gave birth to

made her perhaps almost as happy as jane she saw her in idea settled in

that very house in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection

could bestow and she felt capable under such circumstances of

endeavouring even to like bingleys two sisters her mothers thoughts

she plainly saw were bent the same way and she determined not to

venture near her lest she might hear too much when they sat down to

supper therefore she considered it a most unlucky perverseness which

placed them within one of each other and deeply was she vexed to find

that her mother was talking to that one person lady lucas freely

openly and of nothing else but her expectation that jane would soon

be married to mr bingley it was an animating subject and mrs bennet

seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the

match his being such a charming young man and so rich and living but

three miles from them were the first points of selfgratulation and

then it was such a comfort to think how fond the two sisters were of

jane and to be certain that they must desire the connection as much as

she could do it was moreover such a promising thing for her younger

daughters as janes marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of

other rich men and lastly it was so pleasant at her time of life to be

able to consign her single daughters to the care of their sister that

she might not be obliged to go into company more than she liked it was

necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure because on

such occasions it is the etiquette but no one was less likely than mrs

bennet to find comfort in staying home at any period of her life she

concluded with many good wishes that lady lucas might soon be equally

fortunate though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no

chance of it

in vain did elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mothers

words or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible

whisper for to her inexpressible vexation she could perceive that the

chief of it was overheard by mr darcy who sat opposite to them her

mother only scolded her for being nonsensical

what is mr darcy to me pray that i should be afraid of him i am

sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say

nothing he may not like to hear

for heavens sake madam speak lower what advantage can it be for you

to offend mr darcy you will never recommend yourself to his friend by

so doing

nothing that she could say however had any influence her mother would

talk of her views in the same intelligible tone elizabeth blushed and

blushed again with shame and vexation she could not help frequently

glancing her eye at mr darcy though every glance convinced her of what

she dreaded for though he was not always looking at her mother she was

convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her the expression

of his face changed gradually from indignant contempt to a composed and

steady gravity

at length however mrs bennet had no more to say and lady lucas who

had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no

likelihood of sharing was left to the comforts of cold ham and

chicken elizabeth now began to revive but not long was the interval of

tranquillity for when supper was over singing was talked of and

she had the mortification of seeing mary after very little entreaty

preparing to oblige the company by many significant looks and silent

entreaties did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance

but in vain mary would not understand them such an opportunity of

exhibiting was delightful to her and she began her song elizabeths

eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations and she watched her

progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very

ill rewarded at their close for mary on receiving amongst the thanks

of the table the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to

favour them again after the pause of half a minute began another

marys powers were by no means fitted for such a display her voice was

weak and her manner affected elizabeth was in agonies she looked at

jane to see how she bore it but jane was very composedly talking to

bingley she looked at his two sisters and saw them making signs

of derision at each other and at darcy who continued however

imperturbably grave she looked at her father to entreat his

interference lest mary should be singing all night he took the hint

and when mary had finished her second song said aloud that will do

extremely well child you have delighted us long enough let the other

young ladies have time to exhibit

mary though pretending not to hear was somewhat disconcerted and

elizabeth sorry for her and sorry for her fathers speech was afraid

her anxiety had done no good others of the party were now applied to

if i said mr collins were so fortunate as to be able to sing i

should have great pleasure i am sure in obliging the company with an

air for i consider music as a very innocent diversion and perfectly

compatible with the profession of a clergyman i do not mean however

to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time

to music for there are certainly other things to be attended to the

rector of a parish has much to do in the first place he must make

such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not

offensive to his patron he must write his own sermons and the time

that remains will not be too much for his parish duties and the care

and improvement of his dwelling which he cannot be excused from making

as comfortable as possible and i do not think it of light importance

that he should have attentive and conciliatory manners towards everybody

especially towards those to whom he owes his preferment i cannot acquit

him of that duty nor could i think well of the man who should omit an

occasion of testifying his respect towards anybody connected with the

family and with a bow to mr darcy he concluded his speech which had

been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room many staredmany

smiled but no one looked more amused than mr bennet himself while his

wife seriously commended mr collins for having spoken so sensibly

and observed in a halfwhisper to lady lucas that he was a remarkably

clever good kind of young man

to elizabeth it appeared that had her family made an agreement to

expose themselves as much as they could during the evening it would

have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit or

finer success and happy did she think it for bingley and her sister

that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice and that his

feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he

must have witnessed that his two sisters and mr darcy however should

have such an opportunity of ridiculing her relations was bad enough

and she could not determine whether the silent contempt of the

gentleman or the insolent smiles of the ladies were more intolerable

the rest of the evening brought her little amusement she was teased by

mr collins who continued most perseveringly by her side and though

he could not prevail on her to dance with him again put it out of her

power to dance with others in vain did she entreat him to stand up with

somebody else and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room

he assured her that as to dancing he was perfectly indifferent to it

that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to

her and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her

the whole evening there was no arguing upon such a project she owed

her greatest relief to her friend miss lucas who often joined them and

goodnaturedly engaged mr collinss conversation to herself

she was at least free from the offense of mr darcys further notice

though often standing within a very short distance of her quite

disengaged he never came near enough to speak she felt it to be the

probable consequence of her allusions to mr wickham and rejoiced in

it

the longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart and by

a manoeuvre of mrs bennet had to wait for their carriage a quarter of

an hour after everybody else was gone which gave them time to see how

heartily they were wished away by some of the family mrs hurst and her

sister scarcely opened their mouths except to complain of fatigue and

were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves they repulsed

every attempt of mrs bennet at conversation and by so doing threw a

languor over the whole party which was very little relieved by the

long speeches of mr collins who was complimenting mr bingley and his

sisters on the elegance of their entertainment and the hospitality and

politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests darcy said

nothing at all mr bennet in equal silence was enjoying the scene

mr bingley and jane were standing together a little detached from the

rest and talked only to each other elizabeth preserved as steady a

silence as either mrs hurst or miss bingley and even lydia was too

much fatigued to utter more than the occasional exclamation of lord

how tired i am accompanied by a violent yawn

when at length they arose to take leave mrs bennet was most pressingly

civil in her hope of seeing the whole family soon at longbourn and

addressed herself especially to mr bingley to assure him how happy he

would make them by eating a family dinner with them at any time without

the ceremony of a formal invitation bingley was all grateful pleasure

and he readily engaged for taking the earliest opportunity of waiting on

her after his return from london whither he was obliged to go the next

day for a short time

mrs bennet was perfectly satisfied and quitted the house under the

delightful persuasion that allowing for the necessary preparations of

settlements new carriages and wedding clothes she should undoubtedly

see her daughter settled at netherfield in the course of three or four

months of having another daughter married to mr collins she thought

with equal certainty and with considerable though not equal pleasure

elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children and though the

man and the match were quite good enough for her the worth of each

was eclipsed by mr bingley and netherfield

chapter 19

the next day opened a new scene at longbourn mr collins made his

declaration in form having resolved to do it without loss of time as

his leave of absence extended only to the following saturday and having

no feelings of diffidence to make it distressing to himself even at

the moment he set about it in a very orderly manner with all the

observances which he supposed a regular part of the business on

finding mrs bennet elizabeth and one of the younger girls together

soon after breakfast he addressed the mother in these words

may i hope madam for your interest with your fair daughter elizabeth

when i solicit for the honour of a private audience with her in the

course of this morning

before elizabeth had time for anything but a blush of surprise mrs

bennet answered instantly oh dearyescertainly i am sure lizzy

will be very happyi am sure she can have no objection come kitty i

want you up stairs and gathering her work together she was hastening

away when elizabeth called out

dear madam do not go i beg you will not go mr collins must excuse

me he can have nothing to say to me that anybody need not hear i am

going away myself

no no nonsense lizzy i desire you to stay where you are and upon

elizabeths seeming really with vexed and embarrassed looks about to

escape she added lizzy i insist upon your staying and hearing mr

collins

elizabeth would not oppose such an injunctionand a moments

consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it

over as soon and as quietly as possible she sat down again and tried to

conceal by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between

distress and diversion mrs bennet and kitty walked off and as soon as

they were gone mr collins began

believe me my dear miss elizabeth that your modesty so far from

doing you any disservice rather adds to your other perfections you

would have been less amiable in my eyes had there not been this little

unwillingness but allow me to assure you that i have your respected

mothers permission for this address you can hardly doubt the

purport of my discourse however your natural delicacy may lead you to

dissemble my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken almost as

soon as i entered the house i singled you out as the companion of

my future life but before i am run away with by my feelings on this

subject perhaps it would be advisable for me to state my reasons for

marryingand moreover for coming into hertfordshire with the design

of selecting a wife as i certainly did

the idea of mr collins with all his solemn composure being run away

with by his feelings made elizabeth so near laughing that she could

not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him further

and he continued

my reasons for marrying are first that i think it a right thing for

every clergyman in easy circumstances like myself to set the example

of matrimony in his parish secondly that i am convinced that it will

add very greatly to my happiness and thirdlywhich perhaps i ought

to have mentioned earlier that it is the particular advice and

recommendation of the very noble lady whom i have the honour of calling

patroness twice has she condescended to give me her opinion unasked

too on this subject and it was but the very saturday night before i

left hunsfordbetween our pools at quadrille while mrs jenkinson was

arranging miss de bourghs footstool that she said mr collins you

must marry a clergyman like you must marry choose properly choose

a gentlewoman for my sake and for your own let her be an active

useful sort of person not brought up high but able to make a small

income go a good way this is my advice find such a woman as soon as

you can bring her to hunsford and i will visit her allow me by the

way to observe my fair cousin that i do not reckon the notice

and kindness of lady catherine de bourgh as among the least of the

advantages in my power to offer you will find her manners beyond

anything i can describe and your wit and vivacity i think must be

acceptable to her especially when tempered with the silence and

respect which her rank will inevitably excite thus much for my general

intention in favour of matrimony it remains to be told why my views

were directed towards longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood where i

can assure you there are many amiable young women but the fact is that

being as i am to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured

father who however may live many years longer i could not satisfy

myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters that

the loss to them might be as little as possible when the melancholy

event takes placewhich however as i have already said may not

be for several years this has been my motive my fair cousin and

i flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem and now nothing

remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the

violence of my affection to fortune i am perfectly indifferent and

shall make no demand of that nature on your father since i am well

aware that it could not be complied with and that one thousand pounds

in the four per cents which will not be yours till after your mothers

decease is all that you may ever be entitled to on that head

therefore i shall be uniformly silent and you may assure yourself that

no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married

it was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now

you are too hasty sir she cried you forget that i have made no

answer let me do it without further loss of time accept my thanks for

the compliment you are paying me i am very sensible of the honour of

your proposals but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to

decline them

i am not now to learn replied mr collins with a formal wave of the

hand that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the

man whom they secretly mean to accept when he first applies for their

favour and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second or even a

third time i am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just

said and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long

upon my word sir cried elizabeth your hope is a rather

extraordinary one after my declaration i do assure you that i am not

one of those young ladies if such young ladies there are who are so

daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second

time i am perfectly serious in my refusal you could not make me

happy and i am convinced that i am the last woman in the world who

could make you so nay were your friend lady catherine to know me i

am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the

situation

were it certain that lady catherine would think so said mr collins

very gravelybut i cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all

disapprove of you and you may be certain when i have the honour of

seeing her again i shall speak in the very highest terms of your

modesty economy and other amiable qualification

indeed mr collins all praise of me will be unnecessary you

must give me leave to judge for myself and pay me the compliment

of believing what i say i wish you very happy and very rich and by

refusing your hand do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise

in making me the offer you must have satisfied the delicacy of your

feelings with regard to my family and may take possession of longbourn

estate whenever it falls without any selfreproach this matter may

be considered therefore as finally settled and rising as she

thus spoke she would have quitted the room had mr collins not thus

addressed her

when i do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject i

shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given

me though i am far from accusing you of cruelty at present because i

know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on

the first application and perhaps you have even now said as much to

encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the

female character

really mr collins cried elizabeth with some warmth you puzzle me

exceedingly if what i have hitherto said can appear to you in the form

of encouragement i know not how to express my refusal in such a way as

to convince you of its being one

you must give me leave to flatter myself my dear cousin that your

refusal of my addresses is merely words of course my reasons for

believing it are briefly these it does not appear to me that my hand is

unworthy of your acceptance or that the establishment i can offer would

be any other than highly desirable my situation in life my connections

with the family of de bourgh and my relationship to your own are

circumstances highly in my favour and you should take it into further

consideration that in spite of your manifold attractions it is by no

means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you your

portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo

the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications as i must

therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me

i shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by

suspense according to the usual practice of elegant females

i do assure you sir that i have no pretensions whatever to that kind

of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man i would

rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere i thank you

again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals but

to accept them is absolutely impossible my feelings in every respect

forbid it can i speak plainer do not consider me now as an elegant

female intending to plague you but as a rational creature speaking

the truth from her heart

you are uniformly charming cried he with an air of awkward

gallantry and i am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express

authority of both your excellent parents my proposals will not fail of

being acceptable

to such perseverance in wilful selfdeception elizabeth would make

no reply and immediately and in silence withdrew determined if

he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering

encouragement to apply to her father whose negative might be uttered

in such a manner as to be decisive and whose behaviour at least could

not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female

chapter 20

mr collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his

successful love for mrs bennet having dawdled about in the vestibule

to watch for the end of the conference no sooner saw elizabeth open

the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase than she

entered the breakfastroom and congratulated both him and herself in

warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection mr collins

received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure and then

proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview with the result

of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied since the

refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow

from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character

this information however startled mrs bennet she would have been

glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage

him by protesting against his proposals but she dared not believe it

and could not help saying so

but depend upon it mr collins she added that lizzy shall be

brought to reason i will speak to her about it directly she is a very

headstrong foolish girl and does not know her own interest but i will

make her know it

pardon me for interrupting you madam cried mr collins but if

she is really headstrong and foolish i know not whether she would

altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation who

naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state if therefore she

actually persists in rejecting my suit perhaps it were better not

to force her into accepting me because if liable to such defects of

temper she could not contribute much to my felicity

sir you quite misunderstand me said mrs bennet alarmed lizzy is

only headstrong in such matters as these in everything else she is as

goodnatured a girl as ever lived i will go directly to mr bennet and

we shall very soon settle it with her i am sure

she would not give him time to reply but hurrying instantly to her

husband called out as she entered the library oh mr bennet you

are wanted immediately we are all in an uproar you must come and make

lizzy marry mr collins for she vows she will not have him and if you

do not make haste he will change his mind and not have her

mr bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered and fixed them

on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by

her communication

i have not the pleasure of understanding you said he when she had

finished her speech of what are you talking

of mr collins and lizzy lizzy declares she will not have mr collins

and mr collins begins to say that he will not have lizzy

and what am i to do on the occasion it seems an hopeless business

speak to lizzy about it yourself tell her that you insist upon her

marrying him

let her be called down she shall hear my opinion

mrs bennet rang the bell and miss elizabeth was summoned to the

library

come here child cried her father as she appeared i have sent for

you on an affair of importance i understand that mr collins has made

you an offer of marriage is it true elizabeth replied that it was

very welland this offer of marriage you have refused

i have sir

very well we now come to the point your mother insists upon your

accepting it is it not so mrs bennet

yes or i will never see her again

an unhappy alternative is before you elizabeth from this day you must

be a stranger to one of your parents your mother will never see you

again if you do not marry mr collins and i will never see you again

if you do

elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning

but mrs bennet who had persuaded herself that her husband regarded the

affair as she wished was excessively disappointed

what do you mean mr bennet in talking this way you promised me to

insist upon her marrying him

my dear replied her husband i have two small favours to request

first that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the

present occasion and secondly of my room i shall be glad to have the

library to myself as soon as may be

not yet however in spite of her disappointment in her husband did

mrs bennet give up the point she talked to elizabeth again and again

coaxed and threatened her by turns she endeavoured to secure jane

in her interest but jane with all possible mildness declined

interfering and elizabeth sometimes with real earnestness and

sometimes with playful gaiety replied to her attacks though her manner

varied however her determination never did

mr collins meanwhile was meditating in solitude on what had passed

he thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin

could refuse him and though his pride was hurt he suffered in no other

way his regard for her was quite imaginary and the possibility of her

deserving her mothers reproach prevented his feeling any regret

while the family were in this confusion charlotte lucas came to spend

the day with them she was met in the vestibule by lydia who flying to

her cried in a half whisper i am glad you are come for there is such

fun here what do you think has happened this morning mr collins has

made an offer to lizzy and she will not have him

charlotte hardly had time to answer before they were joined by kitty

who came to tell the same news and no sooner had they entered the

breakfastroom where mrs bennet was alone than she likewise began on

the subject calling on miss lucas for her compassion and entreating

her to persuade her friend lizzy to comply with the wishes of all her

family pray do my dear miss lucas she added in a melancholy tone

for nobody is on my side nobody takes part with me i am cruelly used

nobody feels for my poor nerves

charlottes reply was spared by the entrance of jane and elizabeth

aye there she comes continued mrs bennet looking as unconcerned

as may be and caring no more for us than if we were at york provided

she can have her own way but i tell you miss lizzyif you take it

into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way

you will never get a husband at alland i am sure i do not know who is

to maintain you when your father is dead i shall not be able to keep

youand so i warn you i have done with you from this very day i told

you in the library you know that i should never speak to you again

and you will find me as good as my word i have no pleasure in talking

to undutiful children not that i have much pleasure indeed in talking

to anybody people who suffer as i do from nervous complaints can have

no great inclination for talking nobody can tell what i suffer but it

is always so those who do not complain are never pitied

her daughters listened in silence to this effusion sensible that

any attempt to reason with her or soothe her would only increase the

irritation she talked on therefore without interruption from any of

them till they were joined by mr collins who entered the room with

an air more stately than usual and on perceiving whom she said to

the girls now i do insist upon it that you all of you hold

your tongues and let me and mr collins have a little conversation

together

elizabeth passed quietly out of the room jane and kitty followed but

lydia stood her ground determined to hear all she could and charlotte

detained first by the civility of mr collins whose inquiries after

herself and all her family were very minute and then by a little

curiosity satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending

not to hear in a doleful voice mrs bennet began the projected

conversation oh mr collins

my dear madam replied he let us be for ever silent on this point

far be it from me he presently continued in a voice that marked his

displeasure to resent the behaviour of your daughter resignation

to inevitable evils is the duty of us all the peculiar duty of a

young man who has been so fortunate as i have been in early preferment

and i trust i am resigned perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt

of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand

for i have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as

when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our

estimation you will not i hope consider me as showing any disrespect

to your family my dear madam by thus withdrawing my pretensions to

your daughters favour without having paid yourself and mr bennet the

compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my

behalf my conduct may i fear be objectionable in having accepted my

dismission from your daughters lips instead of your own but we are all

liable to error i have certainly meant well through the whole affair

my object has been to secure an amiable companion for myself with due

consideration for the advantage of all your family and if my manner

has been at all reprehensible i here beg leave to apologise

chapter 21

the discussion of mr collinss offer was now nearly at an end and

elizabeth had only to suffer from the uncomfortable feelings necessarily

attending it and occasionally from some peevish allusions of her

mother as for the gentleman himself his feelings were chiefly

expressed not by embarrassment or dejection or by trying to avoid her

but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence he scarcely ever spoke

to her and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of

himself were transferred for the rest of the day to miss lucas whose

civility in listening to him was a seasonable relief to them all and

especially to her friend

the morrow produced no abatement of mrs bennets illhumour or ill

health mr collins was also in the same state of angry pride elizabeth

had hoped that his resentment might shorten his visit but his plan did

not appear in the least affected by it he was always to have gone on

saturday and to saturday he meant to stay

after breakfast the girls walked to meryton to inquire if mr wickham

were returned and to lament over his absence from the netherfield ball

he joined them on their entering the town and attended them to their

aunts where his regret and vexation and the concern of everybody was

well talked over to elizabeth however he voluntarily acknowledged

that the necessity of his absence had been selfimposed

i found said he as the time drew near that i had better not meet

mr darcy that to be in the same room the same party with him for so

many hours together might be more than i could bear and that scenes

might arise unpleasant to more than myself

she highly approved his forbearance and they had leisure for a full

discussion of it and for all the commendation which they civilly

bestowed on each other as wickham and another officer walked back with

them to longbourn and during the walk he particularly attended to

her his accompanying them was a double advantage she felt all the

compliment it offered to herself and it was most acceptable as an

occasion of introducing him to her father and mother

soon after their return a letter was delivered to miss bennet it came

from netherfield the envelope contained a sheet of elegant little

hotpressed paper well covered with a ladys fair flowing hand and

elizabeth saw her sisters countenance change as she read it and saw

her dwelling intently on some particular passages jane recollected

herself soon and putting the letter away tried to join with her usual

cheerfulness in the general conversation but elizabeth felt an anxiety

on the subject which drew off her attention even from wickham and no

sooner had he and his companion taken leave than a glance from jane

invited her to follow her up stairs when they had gained their own room

jane taking out the letter said

this is from caroline bingley what it contains has surprised me a good

deal the whole party have left netherfield by this time and are on

their way to townand without any intention of coming back again you

shall hear what she says

she then read the first sentence aloud which comprised the information

of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly

and of their meaning to dine in grosvenor street where mr hurst had a

house the next was in these words i do not pretend to regret anything

i shall leave in hertfordshire except your society my dearest friend

but we will hope at some future period to enjoy many returns of that

delightful intercourse we have known and in the meanwhile may

lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved

correspondence i depend on you for that to these highflown

expressions elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust

and though the suddenness of their removal surprised her she saw

nothing in it really to lament it was not to be supposed that their

absence from netherfield would prevent mr bingleys being there and as

to the loss of their society she was persuaded that jane must cease to

regard it in the enjoyment of his

it is unlucky said she after a short pause that you should not be

able to see your friends before they leave the country but may we not

hope that the period of future happiness to which miss bingley looks

forward may arrive earlier than she is aware and that the delightful

intercourse you have known as friends will be renewed with yet greater

satisfaction as sisters mr bingley will not be detained in london by

them

caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into

hertfordshire this winter i will read it to you

when my brother left us yesterday he imagined that the business which

took him to london might be concluded in three or four days but as we

are certain it cannot be so and at the same time convinced that when

charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again we have

determined on following him thither that he may not be obliged to spend

his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel many of my acquaintances are

already there for the winter i wish that i could hear that you my

dearest friend had any intention of making one of the crowdbut of

that i despair i sincerely hope your christmas in hertfordshire may

abound in the gaieties which that season generally brings and that your

beaux will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the

three of whom we shall deprive you

it is evident by this added jane that he comes back no more this

winter

it is only evident that miss bingley does not mean that he should

why will you think so it must be his own doing he is his own

master but you do not know all i will read you the passage which

particularly hurts me i will have no reserves from you

mr darcy is impatient to see his sister and to confess the truth

we are scarcely less eager to meet her again i really do not think

georgiana darcy has her equal for beauty elegance and accomplishments

and the affection she inspires in louisa and myself is heightened into

something still more interesting from the hope we dare entertain of

her being hereafter our sister i do not know whether i ever before

mentioned to you my feelings on this subject but i will not leave the

country without confiding them and i trust you will not esteem them

unreasonable my brother admires her greatly already he will have

frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing

her relations all wish the connection as much as his own and a sisters

partiality is not misleading me i think when i call charles most

capable of engaging any womans heart with all these circumstances to

favour an attachment and nothing to prevent it am i wrong my dearest

jane in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness

of so many

what do you think of this sentence my dear lizzy said jane as she

finished it is it not clear enough does it not expressly declare that

caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister that she is

perfectly convinced of her brothers indifference and that if she

suspects the nature of my feelings for him she means most kindly to

put me on my guard can there be any other opinion on the subject

yes there can for mine is totally different will you hear it

most willingly

you shall have it in a few words miss bingley sees that her brother is

in love with you and wants him to marry miss darcy she follows him

to town in hope of keeping him there and tries to persuade you that he

does not care about you

jane shook her head

indeed jane you ought to believe me no one who has ever seen you

together can doubt his affection miss bingley i am sure cannot she

is not such a simpleton could she have seen half as much love in mr

darcy for herself she would have ordered her wedding clothes but the

case is this we are not rich enough or grand enough for them and she

is the more anxious to get miss darcy for her brother from the notion

that when there has been one intermarriage she may have less trouble

in achieving a second in which there is certainly some ingenuity and

i dare say it would succeed if miss de bourgh were out of the way but

my dearest jane you cannot seriously imagine that because miss bingley

tells you her brother greatly admires miss darcy he is in the smallest

degree less sensible of your merit than when he took leave of you on

tuesday or that it will be in her power to persuade him that instead

of being in love with you he is very much in love with her friend

if we thought alike of miss bingley replied jane your

representation of all this might make me quite easy but i know the

foundation is unjust caroline is incapable of wilfully deceiving

anyone and all that i can hope in this case is that she is deceiving

herself

that is right you could not have started a more happy idea since you

will not take comfort in mine believe her to be deceived by all means

you have now done your duty by her and must fret no longer

but my dear sister can i be happy even supposing the best in

accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry

elsewhere

you must decide for yourself said elizabeth and if upon mature

deliberation you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is

more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife i advise you by

all means to refuse him

how can you talk so said jane faintly smiling you must know that

though i should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation i could

not hesitate

i did not think you would and that being the case i cannot consider

your situation with much compassion

but if he returns no more this winter my choice will never be

required a thousand things may arise in six months

the idea of his returning no more elizabeth treated with the utmost

contempt it appeared to her merely the suggestion of carolines

interested wishes and she could not for a moment suppose that those

wishes however openly or artfully spoken could influence a young man

so totally independent of everyone

she represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt

on the subject and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect

janes temper was not desponding and she was gradually led to hope

though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope that

bingley would return to netherfield and answer every wish of her heart

they agreed that mrs bennet should only hear of the departure of the

family without being alarmed on the score of the gentlemans conduct

but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern

and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen

to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together after

lamenting it however at some length she had the consolation that mr

bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at longbourn and the

conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration that though he had

been invited only to a family dinner she would take care to have two

full courses

chapter 22

the bennets were engaged to dine with the lucases and again during the

chief of the day was miss lucas so kind as to listen to mr collins

elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her it keeps him in good

humour said she and i am more obliged to you than i can express

charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful and

that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time this was

very amiable but charlottes kindness extended farther than elizabeth

had any conception of its object was nothing else than to secure her

from any return of mr collinss addresses by engaging them towards

herself such was miss lucass scheme and appearances were so

favourable that when they parted at night she would have felt almost

secure of success if he had not been to leave hertfordshire so very

soon but here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his

character for it led him to escape out of longbourn house the next

morning with admirable slyness and hasten to lucas lodge to throw

himself at her feet he was anxious to avoid the notice of his cousins

from a conviction that if they saw him depart they could not fail to

conjecture his design and he was not willing to have the attempt known

till its success might be known likewise for though feeling almost

secure and with reason for charlotte had been tolerably encouraging

he was comparatively diffident since the adventure of wednesday

his reception however was of the most flattering kind miss lucas

perceived him from an upper window as he walked towards the house and

instantly set out to meet him accidentally in the lane but little had

she dared to hope that so much love and eloquence awaited her there

in as short a time as mr collinss long speeches would allow

everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both and as

they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that

was to make him the happiest of men and though such a solicitation must

be waived for the present the lady felt no inclination to trifle with

his happiness the stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must

guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its

continuance and miss lucas who accepted him solely from the pure

and disinterested desire of an establishment cared not how soon that

establishment were gained

sir william and lady lucas were speedily applied to for their consent

and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity mr collinss present

circumstances made it a most eligible match for their daughter to whom

they could give little fortune and his prospects of future wealth were

exceedingly fair lady lucas began directly to calculate with more

interest than the matter had ever excited before how many years longer

mr bennet was likely to live and sir william gave it as his decided

opinion that whenever mr collins should be in possession of the

longbourn estate it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife

should make their appearance at st jamess the whole family in short

were properly overjoyed on the occasion the younger girls formed hopes

of coming out a year or two sooner than they might otherwise have

done and the boys were relieved from their apprehension of charlottes

dying an old maid charlotte herself was tolerably composed she had

gained her point and had time to consider of it her reflections were

in general satisfactory mr collins to be sure was neither sensible

nor agreeable his society was irksome and his attachment to her must

be imaginary but still he would be her husband without thinking highly

either of men or matrimony marriage had always been her object it was

the only provision for welleducated young women of small fortune

and however uncertain of giving happiness must be their pleasantest

preservative from want this preservative she had now obtained and at

the age of twentyseven without having ever been handsome she felt all

the good luck of it the least agreeable circumstance in the business

was the surprise it must occasion to elizabeth bennet whose friendship

she valued beyond that of any other person elizabeth would wonder

and probably would blame her and though her resolution was not to be

shaken her feelings must be hurt by such a disapprobation she resolved

to give her the information herself and therefore charged mr collins

when he returned to longbourn to dinner to drop no hint of what had

passed before any of the family a promise of secrecy was of course very

dutifully given but it could not be kept without difficulty for the

curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct

questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade and he was

at the same time exercising great selfdenial for he was longing to

publish his prosperous love

as he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the

family the ceremony of leavetaking was performed when the ladies moved

for the night and mrs bennet with great politeness and cordiality

said how happy they should be to see him at longbourn again whenever

his engagements might allow him to visit them

my dear madam he replied this invitation is particularly

gratifying because it is what i have been hoping to receive and

you may be very certain that i shall avail myself of it as soon as

possible

they were all astonished and mr bennet who could by no means wish for

so speedy a return immediately said

but is there not danger of lady catherines disapprobation here my

good sir you had better neglect your relations than run the risk of

offending your patroness

my dear sir replied mr collins i am particularly obliged to you

for this friendly caution and you may depend upon my not taking so

material a step without her ladyships concurrence

you cannot be too much upon your guard risk anything rather than her

displeasure and if you find it likely to be raised by your coming to us

again which i should think exceedingly probable stay quietly at home

and be satisfied that we shall take no offence

believe me my dear sir my gratitude is warmly excited by such

affectionate attention and depend upon it you will speedily receive

from me a letter of thanks for this and for every other mark of your

regard during my stay in hertfordshire as for my fair cousins though

my absence may not be long enough to render it necessary i shall now

take the liberty of wishing them health and happiness not excepting my

cousin elizabeth

with proper civilities the ladies then withdrew all of them equally

surprised that he meditated a quick return mrs bennet wished to

understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her

younger girls and mary might have been prevailed on to accept him

she rated his abilities much higher than any of the others there was

a solidity in his reflections which often struck her and though by no

means so clever as herself she thought that if encouraged to read

and improve himself by such an example as hers he might become a very

agreeable companion but on the following morning every hope of this

kind was done away miss lucas called soon after breakfast and in a

private conference with elizabeth related the event of the day before

the possibility of mr collinss fancying himself in love with her

friend had once occurred to elizabeth within the last day or two but

that charlotte could encourage him seemed almost as far from

possibility as she could encourage him herself and her astonishment was

consequently so great as to overcome at first the bounds of decorum and

she could not help crying out

engaged to mr collins my dear charlotteimpossible

the steady countenance which miss lucas had commanded in telling her

story gave way to a momentary confusion here on receiving so direct a

reproach though as it was no more than she expected she soon regained

her composure and calmly replied

why should you be surprised my dear eliza do you think it incredible

that mr collins should be able to procure any womans good opinion

because he was not so happy as to succeed with you

but elizabeth had now recollected herself and making a strong effort

for it was able to assure with tolerable firmness that the prospect of

their relationship was highly grateful to her and that she wished her

all imaginable happiness

i see what you are feeling replied charlotte you must be surprised

very much surprisedso lately as mr collins was wishing to marry

you but when you have had time to think it over i hope you will be

satisfied with what i have done i am not romantic you know i never

was i ask only a comfortable home and considering mr collinss

character connection and situation in life i am convinced that my

chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on

entering the marriage state

elizabeth quietly answered undoubtedly and after an awkward pause

they returned to the rest of the family charlotte did not stay much

longer and elizabeth was then left to reflect on what she had heard

it was a long time before she became at all reconciled to the idea of so

unsuitable a match the strangeness of mr collinss making two offers

of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now

accepted she had always felt that charlottes opinion of matrimony was

not exactly like her own but she had not supposed it to be possible

that when called into action she would have sacrificed every better

feeling to worldly advantage charlotte the wife of mr collins was a

most humiliating picture and to the pang of a friend disgracing herself

and sunk in her esteem was added the distressing conviction that it

was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had

chosen

chapter 23

elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters reflecting on what

she had heard and doubting whether she was authorised to mention

it when sir william lucas himself appeared sent by his daughter to

announce her engagement to the family with many compliments to them

and much selfgratulation on the prospect of a connection between the

houses he unfolded the matterto an audience not merely wondering but

incredulous for mrs bennet with more perseverance than politeness

protested he must be entirely mistaken and lydia always unguarded and

often uncivil boisterously exclaimed

good lord sir william how can you tell such a story do not you know

that mr collins wants to marry lizzy

nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne

without anger such treatment but sir williams good breeding carried

him through it all and though he begged leave to be positive as to the

truth of his information he listened to all their impertinence with the

most forbearing courtesy

elizabeth feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant

a situation now put herself forward to confirm his account by

mentioning her prior knowledge of it from charlotte herself and

endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of her mother and sisters

by the earnestness of her congratulations to sir william in which she

was readily joined by jane and by making a variety of remarks on the

happiness that might be expected from the match the excellent character

of mr collins and the convenient distance of hunsford from london

mrs bennet was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while

sir william remained but no sooner had he left them than her feelings

found a rapid vent in the first place she persisted in disbelieving

the whole of the matter secondly she was very sure that mr collins

had been taken in thirdly she trusted that they would never be

happy together and fourthly that the match might be broken off two

inferences however were plainly deduced from the whole one that

elizabeth was the real cause of the mischief and the other that she

herself had been barbarously misused by them all and on these two

points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day nothing could

console and nothing could appease her nor did that day wear out her

resentment a week elapsed before she could see elizabeth without

scolding her a month passed away before she could speak to sir william

or lady lucas without being rude and many months were gone before she

could at all forgive their daughter

mr bennets emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion and such

as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort for

it gratified him he said to discover that charlotte lucas whom he had

been used to think tolerably sensible was as foolish as his wife and

more foolish than his daughter

jane confessed herself a little surprised at the match but she said

less of her astonishment than of her earnest desire for their happiness

nor could elizabeth persuade her to consider it as improbable kitty

and lydia were far from envying miss lucas for mr collins was only a

clergyman and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news

to spread at meryton

lady lucas could not be insensible of triumph on being able to retort

on mrs bennet the comfort of having a daughter well married and she

called at longbourn rather oftener than usual to say how happy she was

though mrs bennets sour looks and illnatured remarks might have been

enough to drive happiness away

between elizabeth and charlotte there was a restraint which kept them

mutually silent on the subject and elizabeth felt persuaded that

no real confidence could ever subsist between them again her

disappointment in charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her

sister of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could

never be shaken and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious

as bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his

return

jane had sent caroline an early answer to her letter and was counting

the days till she might reasonably hope to hear again the promised

letter of thanks from mr collins arrived on tuesday addressed to

their father and written with all the solemnity of gratitude which a

twelvemonths abode in the family might have prompted after discharging

his conscience on that head he proceeded to inform them with many

rapturous expressions of his happiness in having obtained the affection

of their amiable neighbour miss lucas and then explained that it was

merely with the view of enjoying her society that he had been so ready

to close with their kind wish of seeing him again at longbourn whither

he hoped to be able to return on monday fortnight for lady catherine

he added so heartily approved his marriage that she wished it to take

place as soon as possible which he trusted would be an unanswerable

argument with his amiable charlotte to name an early day for making him

the happiest of men

mr collinss return into hertfordshire was no longer a matter of

pleasure to mrs bennet on the contrary she was as much disposed to

complain of it as her husband it was very strange that he should come

to longbourn instead of to lucas lodge it was also very inconvenient

and exceedingly troublesome she hated having visitors in the house

while her health was so indifferent and lovers were of all people the

most disagreeable such were the gentle murmurs of mrs bennet and

they gave way only to the greater distress of mr bingleys continued

absence

neither jane nor elizabeth were comfortable on this subject day after

day passed away without bringing any other tidings of him than the

report which shortly prevailed in meryton of his coming no more to

netherfield the whole winter a report which highly incensed mrs

bennet and which she never failed to contradict as a most scandalous

falsehood

even elizabeth began to fearnot that bingley was indifferentbut that

his sisters would be successful in keeping him away unwilling as

she was to admit an idea so destructive of janes happiness and so

dishonorable to the stability of her lover she could not prevent its

frequently occurring the united efforts of his two unfeeling sisters

and of his overpowering friend assisted by the attractions of miss

darcy and the amusements of london might be too much she feared for

the strength of his attachment

as for jane her anxiety under this suspense was of course more

painful than elizabeths but whatever she felt she was desirous of

concealing and between herself and elizabeth therefore the subject

was never alluded to but as no such delicacy restrained her mother

an hour seldom passed in which she did not talk of bingley express her

impatience for his arrival or even require jane to confess that if he

did not come back she would think herself very ill used it needed

all janes steady mildness to bear these attacks with tolerable

tranquillity

mr collins returned most punctually on monday fortnight but his

reception at longbourn was not quite so gracious as it had been on his

first introduction he was too happy however to need much attention

and luckily for the others the business of lovemaking relieved them

from a great deal of his company the chief of every day was spent by

him at lucas lodge and he sometimes returned to longbourn only in time

to make an apology for his absence before the family went to bed

mrs bennet was really in a most pitiable state the very mention of

anything concerning the match threw her into an agony of illhumour

and wherever she went she was sure of hearing it talked of the sight

of miss lucas was odious to her as her successor in that house she

regarded her with jealous abhorrence whenever charlotte came to see

them she concluded her to be anticipating the hour of possession and

whenever she spoke in a low voice to mr collins was convinced that

they were talking of the longbourn estate and resolving to turn herself

and her daughters out of the house as soon as mr bennet were dead she

complained bitterly of all this to her husband

indeed mr bennet said she it is very hard to think that charlotte

lucas should ever be mistress of this house that i should be forced to

make way for her and live to see her take her place in it

my dear do not give way to such gloomy thoughts let us hope for

better things let us flatter ourselves that i may be the survivor

this was not very consoling to mrs bennet and therefore instead of

making any answer she went on as before

i cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate if it was

not for the entail i should not mind it

what should not you mind

i should not mind anything at all

let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such

insensibility

i never can be thankful mr bennet for anything about the entail how

anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from ones own

daughters i cannot understand and all for the sake of mr collins too

why should he have it more than anybody else

i leave it to yourself to determine said mr bennet

chapter 24

miss bingleys letter arrived and put an end to doubt the very first

sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in london for

the winter and concluded with her brothers regret at not having had

time to pay his respects to his friends in hertfordshire before he left

the country

hope was over entirely over and when jane could attend to the rest

of the letter she found little except the professed affection of the

writer that could give her any comfort miss darcys praise occupied

the chief of it her many attractions were again dwelt on and caroline

boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy and ventured to predict

the accomplishment of the wishes which had been unfolded in her former

letter she wrote also with great pleasure of her brothers being an

inmate of mr darcys house and mentioned with raptures some plans of

the latter with regard to new furniture

elizabeth to whom jane very soon communicated the chief of all this

heard it in silent indignation her heart was divided between concern

for her sister and resentment against all others to carolines

assertion of her brothers being partial to miss darcy she paid no

credit that he was really fond of jane she doubted no more than she

had ever done and much as she had always been disposed to like him she

could not think without anger hardly without contempt on that easiness

of temper that want of proper resolution which now made him the slave

of his designing friends and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness

to the caprice of their inclination had his own happiness however

been the only sacrifice he might have been allowed to sport with it in

whatever manner he thought best but her sisters was involved in it as

she thought he must be sensible himself it was a subject in short

on which reflection would be long indulged and must be unavailing she

could think of nothing else and yet whether bingleys regard had really

died away or were suppressed by his friends interference whether

he had been aware of janes attachment or whether it had escaped his

observation whatever were the case though her opinion of him must be

materially affected by the difference her sisters situation remained

the same her peace equally wounded

a day or two passed before jane had courage to speak of her feelings to

elizabeth but at last on mrs bennets leaving them together after a

longer irritation than usual about netherfield and its master she could

not help saying

oh that my dear mother had more command over herself she can have no

idea of the pain she gives me by her continual reflections on him but

i will not repine it cannot last long he will be forgot and we shall

all be as we were before

elizabeth looked at her sister with incredulous solicitude but said

nothing

you doubt me cried jane slightly colouring indeed you have

no reason he may live in my memory as the most amiable man of my

acquaintance but that is all i have nothing either to hope or fear

and nothing to reproach him with thank god i have not that pain a

little time thereforei shall certainly try to get the better

with a stronger voice she soon added i have this comfort immediately

that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side and that it

has done no harm to anyone but myself

my dear jane exclaimed elizabeth you are too good your sweetness

and disinterestedness are really angelic i do not know what to say

to you i feel as if i had never done you justice or loved you as you

deserve

miss bennet eagerly disclaimed all extraordinary merit and threw back

the praise on her sisters warm affection

nay said elizabeth this is not fair you wish to think all the

world respectable and are hurt if i speak ill of anybody i only want

to think you perfect and you set yourself against it do not

be afraid of my running into any excess of my encroaching on your

privilege of universal goodwill you need not there are few people

whom i really love and still fewer of whom i think well the more i see

of the world the more am i dissatisfied with it and every day confirms

my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters and of the

little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or

sense i have met with two instances lately one i will not mention the

other is charlottes marriage it is unaccountable in every view it is

unaccountable

my dear lizzy do not give way to such feelings as these they will

ruin your happiness you do not make allowance enough for difference

of situation and temper consider mr collinss respectability and

charlottes steady prudent character remember that she is one of a

large family that as to fortune it is a most eligible match and be

ready to believe for everybodys sake that she may feel something like

regard and esteem for our cousin

to oblige you i would try to believe almost anything but no one else

could be benefited by such a belief as this for were i persuaded that

charlotte had any regard for him i should only think worse of her

understanding than i now do of her heart my dear jane mr collins is a

conceited pompous narrowminded silly man you know he is as well as

i do and you must feel as well as i do that the woman who married him

cannot have a proper way of thinking you shall not defend her though

it is charlotte lucas you shall not for the sake of one individual

change the meaning of principle and integrity nor endeavour to persuade

yourself or me that selfishness is prudence and insensibility of

danger security for happiness

i must think your language too strong in speaking of both replied

jane and i hope you will be convinced of it by seeing them happy

together but enough of this you alluded to something else you

mentioned two instances i cannot misunderstand you but i entreat

you dear lizzy not to pain me by thinking that person to blame and

saying your opinion of him is sunk we must not be so ready to fancy

ourselves intentionally injured we must not expect a lively young man

to be always so guarded and circumspect it is very often nothing but

our own vanity that deceives us women fancy admiration means more than

it does

and men take care that they should

if it is designedly done they cannot be justified but i have no idea

of there being so much design in the world as some persons imagine

i am far from attributing any part of mr bingleys conduct to design

said elizabeth but without scheming to do wrong or to make others

unhappy there may be error and there may be misery thoughtlessness

want of attention to other peoples feelings and want of resolution

will do the business

and do you impute it to either of those

yes to the last but if i go on i shall displease you by saying what

i think of persons you esteem stop me whilst you can

you persist then in supposing his sisters influence him

yes in conjunction with his friend

i cannot believe it why should they try to influence him they can

only wish his happiness and if he is attached to me no other woman can

secure it

your first position is false they may wish many things besides his

happiness they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence they

may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money great

connections and pride

beyond a doubt they do wish him to choose miss darcy replied jane

but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing they have

known her much longer than they have known me no wonder if they love

her better but whatever may be their own wishes it is very unlikely

they should have opposed their brothers what sister would think

herself at liberty to do it unless there were something very

objectionable if they believed him attached to me they would not try

to part us if he were so they could not succeed by supposing such an

affection you make everybody acting unnaturally and wrong and me most

unhappy do not distress me by the idea i am not ashamed of having been

mistakenor at least it is light it is nothing in comparison of what

i should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters let me take it in

the best light in the light in which it may be understood

elizabeth could not oppose such a wish and from this time mr bingleys

name was scarcely ever mentioned between them

mrs bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no

more and though a day seldom passed in which elizabeth did not account

for it clearly there was little chance of her ever considering it with

less perplexity her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she

did not believe herself that his attentions to jane had been merely the

effect of a common and transient liking which ceased when he saw her

no more but though the probability of the statement was admitted at

the time she had the same story to repeat every day mrs bennets best

comfort was that mr bingley must be down again in the summer

mr bennet treated the matter differently so lizzy said he one day

your sister is crossed in love i find i congratulate her next to

being married a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then

it is something to think of and it gives her a sort of distinction

among her companions when is your turn to come you will hardly bear to

be long outdone by jane now is your time here are officers enough in

meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country let wickham

be your man he is a pleasant fellow and would jilt you creditably

thank you sir but a less agreeable man would satisfy me we must not

all expect janes good fortune

true said mr bennet but it is a comfort to think that whatever of

that kind may befall you you have an affectionate mother who will make

the most of it

mr wickhams society was of material service in dispelling the gloom

which the late perverse occurrences had thrown on many of the longbourn

family they saw him often and to his other recommendations was now

added that of general unreserve the whole of what elizabeth had already

heard his claims on mr darcy and all that he had suffered from him

was now openly acknowledged and publicly canvassed and everybody was

pleased to know how much they had always disliked mr darcy before they

had known anything of the matter

miss bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be

any extenuating circumstances in the case unknown to the society

of hertfordshire her mild and steady candour always pleaded for

allowances and urged the possibility of mistakesbut by everybody else

mr darcy was condemned as the worst of men

chapter 25

after a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity

mr collins was called from his amiable charlotte by the arrival of

saturday the pain of separation however might be alleviated on his

side by preparations for the reception of his bride as he had reason

to hope that shortly after his return into hertfordshire the day would

be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men he took leave of his

relations at longbourn with as much solemnity as before wished his fair

cousins health and happiness again and promised their father another

letter of thanks

on the following monday mrs bennet had the pleasure of receiving

her brother and his wife who came as usual to spend the christmas

at longbourn mr gardiner was a sensible gentlemanlike man greatly

superior to his sister as well by nature as education the netherfield

ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived

by trade and within view of his own warehouses could have been so

wellbred and agreeable mrs gardiner who was several years younger

than mrs bennet and mrs phillips was an amiable intelligent elegant

woman and a great favourite with all her longbourn nieces between the

two eldest and herself especially there subsisted a particular regard

they had frequently been staying with her in town

the first part of mrs gardiners business on her arrival was to

distribute her presents and describe the newest fashions when this was

done she had a less active part to play it became her turn to listen

mrs bennet had many grievances to relate and much to complain of they

had all been very illused since she last saw her sister two of her

girls had been upon the point of marriage and after all there was

nothing in it

i do not blame jane she continued for jane would have got mr

bingley if she could but lizzy oh sister it is very hard to think

that she might have been mr collinss wife by this time had it not

been for her own perverseness he made her an offer in this very room

and she refused him the consequence of it is that lady lucas will have

a daughter married before i have and that the longbourn estate is just

as much entailed as ever the lucases are very artful people indeed

sister they are all for what they can get i am sorry to say it of

them but so it is it makes me very nervous and poorly to be thwarted

so in my own family and to have neighbours who think of themselves

before anybody else however your coming just at this time is the

greatest of comforts and i am very glad to hear what you tell us of

long sleeves

mrs gardiner to whom the chief of this news had been given before

in the course of jane and elizabeths correspondence with her made her

sister a slight answer and in compassion to her nieces turned the

conversation

when alone with elizabeth afterwards she spoke more on the subject it

seems likely to have been a desirable match for jane said she i am

sorry it went off but these things happen so often a young man such

as you describe mr bingley so easily falls in love with a pretty girl

for a few weeks and when accident separates them so easily forgets

her that these sort of inconsistencies are very frequent

an excellent consolation in its way said elizabeth but it will not

do for us we do not suffer by accident it does not often

happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of

independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in

love with only a few days before

but that expression of violently in love is so hackneyed so

doubtful so indefinite that it gives me very little idea it is as

often applied to feelings which arise from a halfhours acquaintance

as to a real strong attachment pray how violent was mr bingleys

love

i never saw a more promising inclination he was growing quite

inattentive to other people and wholly engrossed by her every time

they met it was more decided and remarkable at his own ball he

offended two or three young ladies by not asking them to dance and i

spoke to him twice myself without receiving an answer could there be

finer symptoms is not general incivility the very essence of love

oh yesof that kind of love which i suppose him to have felt poor

jane i am sorry for her because with her disposition she may not get

over it immediately it had better have happened to you lizzy you

would have laughed yourself out of it sooner but do you think she

would be prevailed upon to go back with us change of scene might be

of serviceand perhaps a little relief from home may be as useful as

anything

elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal and felt persuaded

of her sisters ready acquiescence

i hope added mrs gardiner that no consideration with regard to

this young man will influence her we live in so different a part of

town all our connections are so different and as you well know we go

out so little that it is very improbable that they should meet at all

unless he really comes to see her

and that is quite impossible for he is now in the custody of his

friend and mr darcy would no more suffer him to call on jane in such

a part of london my dear aunt how could you think of it mr darcy may

perhaps have heard of such a place as gracechurch street but he

would hardly think a months ablution enough to cleanse him from its

impurities were he once to enter it and depend upon it mr bingley

never stirs without him

so much the better i hope they will not meet at all but does not jane

correspond with his sister she will not be able to help calling

she will drop the acquaintance entirely

but in spite of the certainty in which elizabeth affected to place this

point as well as the still more interesting one of bingleys being

withheld from seeing jane she felt a solicitude on the subject which

convinced her on examination that she did not consider it entirely

hopeless it was possible and sometimes she thought it probable that

his affection might be reanimated and the influence of his friends

successfully combated by the more natural influence of janes

attractions

miss bennet accepted her aunts invitation with pleasure and the

bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the same time than as she

hoped by carolines not living in the same house with her brother

she might occasionally spend a morning with her without any danger of

seeing him

the gardiners stayed a week at longbourn and what with the phillipses

the lucases and the officers there was not a day without its

engagement mrs bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment

of her brother and sister that they did not once sit down to a family

dinner when the engagement was for home some of the officers always

made part of itof which officers mr wickham was sure to be one and

on these occasions mrs gardiner rendered suspicious by elizabeths

warm commendation narrowly observed them both without supposing them

from what she saw to be very seriously in love their preference

of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy and

she resolved to speak to elizabeth on the subject before she left

hertfordshire and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such

an attachment

to mrs gardiner wickham had one means of affording pleasure

unconnected with his general powers about ten or a dozen years ago

before her marriage she had spent a considerable time in that very

part of derbyshire to which he belonged they had therefore many

acquaintances in common and though wickham had been little there since

the death of darcys father it was yet in his power to give her fresher

intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of

procuring

mrs gardiner had seen pemberley and known the late mr darcy by

character perfectly well here consequently was an inexhaustible subject

of discourse in comparing her recollection of pemberley with the minute

description which wickham could give and in bestowing her tribute of

praise on the character of its late possessor she was delighting both

him and herself on being made acquainted with the present mr darcys

treatment of him she tried to remember some of that gentlemans

reputed disposition when quite a lad which might agree with it and

was confident at last that she recollected having heard mr fitzwilliam

darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud illnatured boy

chapter 26

mrs gardiners caution to elizabeth was punctually and kindly given

on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone after

honestly telling her what she thought she thus went on

you are too sensible a girl lizzy to fall in love merely because

you are warned against it and therefore i am not afraid of speaking

openly seriously i would have you be on your guard do not involve

yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want

of fortune would make so very imprudent i have nothing to say against

him he is a most interesting young man and if he had the fortune he

ought to have i should think you could not do better but as it is you

must not let your fancy run away with you you have sense and we all

expect you to use it your father would depend on your resolution and

good conduct i am sure you must not disappoint your father

my dear aunt this is being serious indeed

yes and i hope to engage you to be serious likewise

well then you need not be under any alarm i will take care of

myself and of mr wickham too he shall not be in love with me if i

can prevent it

elizabeth you are not serious now

i beg your pardon i will try again at present i am not in love with

mr wickham no i certainly am not but he is beyond all comparison

the most agreeable man i ever sawand if he becomes really attached to

mei believe it will be better that he should not i see the imprudence

of it oh that abominable mr darcy my fathers opinion of me does

me the greatest honour and i should be miserable to forfeit it my

father however is partial to mr wickham in short my dear aunt i

should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy but

since we see every day that where there is affection young people

are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into

engagements with each other how can i promise to be wiser than so many

of my fellowcreatures if i am tempted or how am i even to know that it

would be wisdom to resist all that i can promise you therefore is not

to be in a hurry i will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first

object when i am in company with him i will not be wishing in short

i will do my best

perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very

often at least you should not remind your mother of inviting him

as i did the other day said elizabeth with a conscious smile very

true it will be wise in me to refrain from that but do not imagine

that he is always here so often it is on your account that he has been

so frequently invited this week you know my mothers ideas as to the

necessity of constant company for her friends but really and upon my

honour i will try to do what i think to be the wisest and now i hope

you are satisfied

her aunt assured her that she was and elizabeth having thanked her for

the kindness of her hints they parted a wonderful instance of advice

being given on such a point without being resented

mr collins returned into hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted

by the gardiners and jane but as he took up his abode with the lucases

his arrival was no great inconvenience to mrs bennet his marriage was

now fast approaching and she was at length so far resigned as to think

it inevitable and even repeatedly to say in an illnatured tone that

she wished they might be happy thursday was to be the wedding day

and on wednesday miss lucas paid her farewell visit and when she

rose to take leave elizabeth ashamed of her mothers ungracious and

reluctant good wishes and sincerely affected herself accompanied her

out of the room as they went downstairs together charlotte said

i shall depend on hearing from you very often eliza

that you certainly shall

and i have another favour to ask you will you come and see me

we shall often meet i hope in hertfordshire

i am not likely to leave kent for some time promise me therefore to

come to hunsford

elizabeth could not refuse though she foresaw little pleasure in the

visit

my father and maria are coming to me in march added charlotte and i

hope you will consent to be of the party indeed eliza you will be as

welcome as either of them

the wedding took place the bride and bridegroom set off for kent from

the church door and everybody had as much to say or to hear on

the subject as usual elizabeth soon heard from her friend and their

correspondence was as regular and frequent as it had ever been that

it should be equally unreserved was impossible elizabeth could never

address her without feeling that all the comfort of intimacy was over

and though determined not to slacken as a correspondent it was for the

sake of what had been rather than what was charlottes first letters

were received with a good deal of eagerness there could not but be

curiosity to know how she would speak of her new home how she would

like lady catherine and how happy she would dare pronounce herself to

be though when the letters were read elizabeth felt that charlotte

expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen she

wrote cheerfully seemed surrounded with comforts and mentioned nothing

which she could not praise the house furniture neighbourhood and

roads were all to her taste and lady catherines behaviour was most

friendly and obliging it was mr collinss picture of hunsford and

rosings rationally softened and elizabeth perceived that she must wait

for her own visit there to know the rest

jane had already written a few lines to her sister to announce their

safe arrival in london and when she wrote again elizabeth hoped it

would be in her power to say something of the bingleys

her impatience for this second letter was as well rewarded as impatience

generally is jane had been a week in town without either seeing or

hearing from caroline she accounted for it however by supposing that

her last letter to her friend from longbourn had by some accident been

lost

my aunt she continued is going tomorrow into that part of the

town and i shall take the opportunity of calling in grosvenor street

she wrote again when the visit was paid and she had seen miss bingley

i did not think caroline in spirits were her words but she was very

glad to see me and reproached me for giving her no notice of my coming

to london i was right therefore my last letter had never reached

her i inquired after their brother of course he was well but so much

engaged with mr darcy that they scarcely ever saw him i found that

miss darcy was expected to dinner i wish i could see her my visit was

not long as caroline and mrs hurst were going out i dare say i shall

see them soon here

elizabeth shook her head over this letter it convinced her that

accident only could discover to mr bingley her sisters being in town

four weeks passed away and jane saw nothing of him she endeavoured to

persuade herself that she did not regret it but she could no longer be

blind to miss bingleys inattention after waiting at home every morning

for a fortnight and inventing every evening a fresh excuse for her the

visitor did at last appear but the shortness of her stay and yet more

the alteration of her manner would allow jane to deceive herself no

longer the letter which she wrote on this occasion to her sister will

prove what she felt

my dearest lizzy will i am sure be incapable of triumphing in her

better judgement at my expense when i confess myself to have been

entirely deceived in miss bingleys regard for me but my dear sister

though the event has proved you right do not think me obstinate if i

still assert that considering what her behaviour was my confidence was

as natural as your suspicion i do not at all comprehend her reason for

wishing to be intimate with me but if the same circumstances were to

happen again i am sure i should be deceived again caroline did not

return my visit till yesterday and not a note not a line did i

receive in the meantime when she did come it was very evident that

she had no pleasure in it she made a slight formal apology for not

calling before said not a word of wishing to see me again and was

in every respect so altered a creature that when she went away i was

perfectly resolved to continue the acquaintance no longer i pity

though i cannot help blaming her she was very wrong in singling me out

as she did i can safely say that every advance to intimacy began on

her side but i pity her because she must feel that she has been acting

wrong and because i am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the

cause of it i need not explain myself farther and though we know

this anxiety to be quite needless yet if she feels it it will easily

account for her behaviour to me and so deservedly dear as he is to

his sister whatever anxiety she must feel on his behalf is natural and

amiable i cannot but wonder however at her having any such fears now

because if he had at all cared about me we must have met long ago

he knows of my being in town i am certain from something she said

herself and yet it would seem by her manner of talking as if she

wanted to persuade herself that he is really partial to miss darcy i

cannot understand it if i were not afraid of judging harshly i should

be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity

in all this but i will endeavour to banish every painful thought

and think only of what will make me happyyour affection and the

invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt let me hear from you very

soon miss bingley said something of his never returning to netherfield

again of giving up the house but not with any certainty we had better

not mention it i am extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts

from our friends at hunsford pray go to see them with sir william and

maria i am sure you will be very comfortable thereyours etc

this letter gave elizabeth some pain but her spirits returned as she

considered that jane would no longer be duped by the sister at least

all expectation from the brother was now absolutely over she would not

even wish for a renewal of his attentions his character sunk on

every review of it and as a punishment for him as well as a possible

advantage to jane she seriously hoped he might really soon marry mr

darcys sister as by wickhams account she would make him abundantly

regret what he had thrown away

mrs gardiner about this time reminded elizabeth of her promise

concerning that gentleman and required information and elizabeth

had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to

herself his apparent partiality had subsided his attentions were over

he was the admirer of some one else elizabeth was watchful enough to

see it all but she could see it and write of it without material pain

her heart had been but slightly touched and her vanity was satisfied

with believing that she would have been his only choice had fortune

permitted it the sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most

remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself

agreeable but elizabeth less clearsighted perhaps in this case than

in charlottes did not quarrel with him for his wish of independence

nothing on the contrary could be more natural and while able to

suppose that it cost him a few struggles to relinquish her she was

ready to allow it a wise and desirable measure for both and could very

sincerely wish him happy

all this was acknowledged to mrs gardiner and after relating the

circumstances she thus went on i am now convinced my dear aunt that

i have never been much in love for had i really experienced that pure

and elevating passion i should at present detest his very name and

wish him all manner of evil but my feelings are not only cordial

towards him they are even impartial towards miss king i cannot find

out that i hate her at all or that i am in the least unwilling to

think her a very good sort of girl there can be no love in all this my

watchfulness has been effectual and though i certainly should be a more

interesting object to all my acquaintances were i distractedly in love

with him i cannot say that i regret my comparative insignificance

importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly kitty and lydia take

his defection much more to heart than i do they are young in the

ways of the world and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that

handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain

chapter 27

with no greater events than these in the longbourn family and otherwise

diversified by little beyond the walks to meryton sometimes dirty and

sometimes cold did january and february pass away march was to take

elizabeth to hunsford she had not at first thought very seriously of

going thither but charlotte she soon found was depending on the plan

and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure

as well as greater certainty absence had increased her desire of seeing

charlotte again and weakened her disgust of mr collins there

was novelty in the scheme and as with such a mother and such

uncompanionable sisters home could not be faultless a little change

was not unwelcome for its own sake the journey would moreover give her

a peep at jane and in short as the time drew near she would have

been very sorry for any delay everything however went on smoothly

and was finally settled according to charlottes first sketch she was

to accompany sir william and his second daughter the improvement

of spending a night in london was added in time and the plan became

perfect as plan could be

the only pain was in leaving her father who would certainly miss her

and who when it came to the point so little liked her going that he

told her to write to him and almost promised to answer her letter

the farewell between herself and mr wickham was perfectly friendly on

his side even more his present pursuit could not make him forget that

elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention the

first to listen and to pity the first to be admired and in his manner

of bidding her adieu wishing her every enjoyment reminding her of

what she was to expect in lady catherine de bourgh and trusting their

opinion of hertheir opinion of everybodywould always coincide there

was a solicitude an interest which she felt must ever attach her to

him with a most sincere regard and she parted from him convinced that

whether married or single he must always be her model of the amiable

and pleasing

her fellowtravellers the next day were not of a kind to make her

think him less agreeable sir william lucas and his daughter maria a

goodhumoured girl but as emptyheaded as himself had nothing to say

that could be worth hearing and were listened to with about as much

delight as the rattle of the chaise elizabeth loved absurdities but

she had known sir williams too long he could tell her nothing new of

the wonders of his presentation and knighthood and his civilities were

worn out like his information

it was a journey of only twentyfour miles and they began it so early

as to be in gracechurch street by noon as they drove to mr gardiners

door jane was at a drawingroom window watching their arrival when

they entered the passage she was there to welcome them and elizabeth

looking earnestly in her face was pleased to see it healthful and

lovely as ever on the stairs were a troop of little boys and girls

whose eagerness for their cousins appearance would not allow them to

wait in the drawingroom and whose shyness as they had not seen

her for a twelvemonth prevented their coming lower all was joy and

kindness the day passed most pleasantly away the morning in bustle and

shopping and the evening at one of the theatres

elizabeth then contrived to sit by her aunt their first object was her

sister and she was more grieved than astonished to hear in reply to

her minute inquiries that though jane always struggled to support her

spirits there were periods of dejection it was reasonable however

to hope that they would not continue long mrs gardiner gave her the

particulars also of miss bingleys visit in gracechurch street and

repeated conversations occurring at different times between jane and

herself which proved that the former had from her heart given up the

acquaintance

mrs gardiner then rallied her niece on wickhams desertion and

complimented her on bearing it so well

but my dear elizabeth she added what sort of girl is miss king i

should be sorry to think our friend mercenary

pray my dear aunt what is the difference in matrimonial affairs

between the mercenary and the prudent motive where does discretion end

and avarice begin last christmas you were afraid of his marrying me

because it would be imprudent and now because he is trying to get

a girl with only ten thousand pounds you want to find out that he is

mercenary

if you will only tell me what sort of girl miss king is i shall know

what to think

she is a very good kind of girl i believe i know no harm of her

but he paid her not the smallest attention till her grandfathers death

made her mistress of this fortune

nowhy should he if it were not allowable for him to gain my

affections because i had no money what occasion could there be for

making love to a girl whom he did not care about and who was equally

poor

but there seems an indelicacy in directing his attentions towards her

so soon after this event

a man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant

decorums which other people may observe if she does not object to it

why should we

her not objecting does not justify him it only shows her being

deficient in something herselfsense or feeling

well cried elizabeth have it as you choose he shall be

mercenary and she shall be foolish

no lizzy that is what i do not choose i should be sorry you know

to think ill of a young man who has lived so long in derbyshire

oh if that is all i have a very poor opinion of young men who live in

derbyshire and their intimate friends who live in hertfordshire are not

much better i am sick of them all thank heaven i am going tomorrow

where i shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality who has

neither manner nor sense to recommend him stupid men are the only ones

worth knowing after all

take care lizzy that speech savours strongly of disappointment

before they were separated by the conclusion of the play she had the

unexpected happiness of an invitation to accompany her uncle and aunt in

a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer

we have not determined how far it shall carry us said mrs gardiner

but perhaps to the lakes

no scheme could have been more agreeable to elizabeth and her

acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful oh my dear

dear aunt she rapturously cried what delight what felicity you

give me fresh life and vigour adieu to disappointment and spleen what

are young men to rocks and mountains oh what hours of transport

we shall spend and when we do return it shall not be like other

travellers without being able to give one accurate idea of anything we

will know where we have gonewe will recollect what we have seen

lakes mountains and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our

imaginations nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene

will we begin quarreling about its relative situation let our

first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of

travellers

chapter 28

every object in the next days journey was new and interesting to

elizabeth and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment for she had

seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health

and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight

when they left the high road for the lane to hunsford every eye was in

search of the parsonage and every turning expected to bring it in view

the palings of rosings park was their boundary on one side elizabeth

smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants

at length the parsonage was discernible the garden sloping to the

road the house standing in it the green pales and the laurel hedge

everything declared they were arriving mr collins and charlotte

appeared at the door and the carriage stopped at the small gate which

led by a short gravel walk to the house amidst the nods and smiles of

the whole party in a moment they were all out of the chaise rejoicing

at the sight of each other mrs collins welcomed her friend with the

liveliest pleasure and elizabeth was more and more satisfied with

coming when she found herself so affectionately received she saw

instantly that her cousins manners were not altered by his marriage

his formal civility was just what it had been and he detained her some

minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her

family they were then with no other delay than his pointing out the

neatness of the entrance taken into the house and as soon as they

were in the parlour he welcomed them a second time with ostentatious

formality to his humble abode and punctually repeated all his wifes

offers of refreshment

elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory and she could not help

in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room its

aspect and its furniture he addressed himself particularly to her

as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him but

though everything seemed neat and comfortable she was not able to

gratify him by any sigh of repentance and rather looked with wonder at

her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion

when mr collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be

ashamed which certainly was not unseldom she involuntarily turned her

eye on charlotte once or twice she could discern a faint blush but

in general charlotte wisely did not hear after sitting long enough to

admire every article of furniture in the room from the sideboard to

the fender to give an account of their journey and of all that had

happened in london mr collins invited them to take a stroll in the

garden which was large and well laid out and to the cultivation of

which he attended himself to work in this garden was one of his most

respectable pleasures and elizabeth admired the command of countenance

with which charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise and

owned she encouraged it as much as possible here leading the way

through every walk and cross walk and scarcely allowing them an

interval to utter the praises he asked for every view was pointed out

with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind he could number the

fields in every direction and could tell how many trees there were in

the most distant clump but of all the views which his garden or which

the country or kingdom could boast none were to be compared with the

prospect of rosings afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered

the park nearly opposite the front of his house it was a handsome

modern building well situated on rising ground

from his garden mr collins would have led them round his two meadows

but the ladies not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white

frost turned back and while sir william accompanied him charlotte

took her sister and friend over the house extremely well pleased

probably to have the opportunity of showing it without her husbands

help it was rather small but well built and convenient and everything

was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which

elizabeth gave charlotte all the credit when mr collins could be

forgotten there was really an air of great comfort throughout and by

charlottes evident enjoyment of it elizabeth supposed he must be often

forgotten

she had already learnt that lady catherine was still in the country it

was spoken of again while they were at dinner when mr collins joining

in observed

yes miss elizabeth you will have the honour of seeing lady catherine

de bourgh on the ensuing sunday at church and i need not say you will

be delighted with her she is all affability and condescension and i

doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice

when service is over i have scarcely any hesitation in saying she

will include you and my sister maria in every invitation with which she

honours us during your stay here her behaviour to my dear charlotte is

charming we dine at rosings twice every week and are never allowed

to walk home her ladyships carriage is regularly ordered for us i

should say one of her ladyships carriages for she has several

lady catherine is a very respectable sensible woman indeed added

charlotte and a most attentive neighbour

very true my dear that is exactly what i say she is the sort of

woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference

the evening was spent chiefly in talking over hertfordshire news

and telling again what had already been written and when it closed

elizabeth in the solitude of her chamber had to meditate upon

charlottes degree of contentment to understand her address in guiding

and composure in bearing with her husband and to acknowledge that it

was all done very well she had also to anticipate how her visit

would pass the quiet tenor of their usual employments the vexatious

interruptions of mr collins and the gaieties of their intercourse with

rosings a lively imagination soon settled it all

about the middle of the next day as she was in her room getting ready

for a walk a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in

confusion and after listening a moment she heard somebody running

up stairs in a violent hurry and calling loudly after her she opened

the door and met maria in the landing place who breathless with

agitation cried out

oh my dear eliza pray make haste and come into the diningroom for

there is such a sight to be seen i will not tell you what it is make

haste and come down this moment

elizabeth asked questions in vain maria would tell her nothing more

and down they ran into the diningroom which fronted the lane in

quest of this wonder it was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the

garden gate

and is this all cried elizabeth i expected at least that the pigs

were got into the garden and here is nothing but lady catherine and her

daughter

la my dear said maria quite shocked at the mistake it is not

lady catherine the old lady is mrs jenkinson who lives with them

the other is miss de bourgh only look at her she is quite a little

creature who would have thought that she could be so thin and small

she is abominably rude to keep charlotte out of doors in all this wind

why does she not come in

oh charlotte says she hardly ever does it is the greatest of favours

when miss de bourgh comes in

i like her appearance said elizabeth struck with other ideas she

looks sickly and cross yes she will do for him very well she will

make him a very proper wife

mr collins and charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation

with the ladies and sir william to elizabeths high diversion was

stationed in the doorway in earnest contemplation of the greatness

before him and constantly bowing whenever miss de bourgh looked that

way

at length there was nothing more to be said the ladies drove on and

the others returned into the house mr collins no sooner saw the two

girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune which

charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked

to dine at rosings the next day

chapter 29

mr collinss triumph in consequence of this invitation was complete

the power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering

visitors and of letting them see her civility towards himself and his

wife was exactly what he had wished for and that an opportunity

of doing it should be given so soon was such an instance of lady

catherines condescension as he knew not how to admire enough

i confess said he that i should not have been at all surprised by

her ladyships asking us on sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at

rosings i rather expected from my knowledge of her affability that it

would happen but who could have foreseen such an attention as this who

could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there

an invitation moreover including the whole party so immediately

after your arrival

i am the less surprised at what has happened replied sir william

from that knowledge of what the manners of the great really are which

my situation in life has allowed me to acquire about the court such

instances of elegant breeding are not uncommon

scarcely anything was talked of the whole day or next morning but their

visit to rosings mr collins was carefully instructing them in what

they were to expect that the sight of such rooms so many servants and

so splendid a dinner might not wholly overpower them

when the ladies were separating for the toilette he said to elizabeth

do not make yourself uneasy my dear cousin about your apparel lady

catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which

becomes herself and her daughter i would advise you merely to put on

whatever of your clothes is superior to the restthere is no occasion

for anything more lady catherine will not think the worse of you

for being simply dressed she likes to have the distinction of rank

preserved

while they were dressing he came two or three times to their different

doors to recommend their being quick as lady catherine very much

objected to be kept waiting for her dinner such formidable accounts of

her ladyship and her manner of living quite frightened maria lucas

who had been little used to company and she looked forward to her

introduction at rosings with as much apprehension as her father had done

to his presentation at st jamess

as the weather was fine they had a pleasant walk of about half a

mile across the park every park has its beauty and its prospects and

elizabeth saw much to be pleased with though she could not be in such

raptures as mr collins expected the scene to inspire and was but

slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the

house and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally

cost sir lewis de bourgh

when they ascended the steps to the hall marias alarm was every

moment increasing and even sir william did not look perfectly calm

elizabeths courage did not fail her she had heard nothing of lady

catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or

miraculous virtue and the mere stateliness of money or rank she thought

she could witness without trepidation

from the entrancehall of which mr collins pointed out with a

rapturous air the fine proportion and the finished ornaments they

followed the servants through an antechamber to the room where lady

catherine her daughter and mrs jenkinson were sitting her ladyship

with great condescension arose to receive them and as mrs collins had

settled it with her husband that the office of introduction should

be hers it was performed in a proper manner without any of those

apologies and thanks which he would have thought necessary

in spite of having been at st jamess sir william was so completely

awed by the grandeur surrounding him that he had but just courage

enough to make a very low bow and take his seat without saying a word

and his daughter frightened almost out of her senses sat on the edge

of her chair not knowing which way to look elizabeth found herself

quite equal to the scene and could observe the three ladies before her

composedly lady catherine was a tall large woman with stronglymarked

features which might once have been handsome her air was not

conciliating nor was her manner of receiving them such as to make her

visitors forget their inferior rank she was not rendered formidable by

silence but whatever she said was spoken in so authoritative a tone

as marked her selfimportance and brought mr wickham immediately to

elizabeths mind and from the observation of the day altogether she

believed lady catherine to be exactly what he represented

when after examining the mother in whose countenance and deportment

she soon found some resemblance of mr darcy she turned her eyes on the

daughter she could almost have joined in marias astonishment at her

being so thin and so small there was neither in figure nor face any

likeness between the ladies miss de bourgh was pale and sickly her

features though not plain were insignificant and she spoke very

little except in a low voice to mrs jenkinson in whose appearance

there was nothing remarkable and who was entirely engaged in listening

to what she said and placing a screen in the proper direction before

her eyes

after sitting a few minutes they were all sent to one of the windows to

admire the view mr collins attending them to point out its beauties

and lady catherine kindly informing them that it was much better worth

looking at in the summer

the dinner was exceedingly handsome and there were all the servants and

all the articles of plate which mr collins had promised and as he had

likewise foretold he took his seat at the bottom of the table by her

ladyships desire and looked as if he felt that life could furnish

nothing greater he carved and ate and praised with delighted

alacrity and every dish was commended first by him and then by sir

william who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his soninlaw

said in a manner which elizabeth wondered lady catherine could bear

but lady catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration and

gave most gracious smiles especially when any dish on the table proved

a novelty to them the party did not supply much conversation elizabeth

was ready to speak whenever there was an opening but she was seated

between charlotte and miss de bourghthe former of whom was engaged in

listening to lady catherine and the latter said not a word to her all

dinnertime mrs jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little

miss de bourgh ate pressing her to try some other dish and fearing

she was indisposed maria thought speaking out of the question and the

gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire

when the ladies returned to the drawingroom there was little to

be done but to hear lady catherine talk which she did without any

intermission till coffee came in delivering her opinion on every

subject in so decisive a manner as proved that she was not used to

have her judgement controverted she inquired into charlottes domestic

concerns familiarly and minutely gave her a great deal of advice as

to the management of them all told her how everything ought to be

regulated in so small a family as hers and instructed her as to the

care of her cows and her poultry elizabeth found that nothing was

beneath this great ladys attention which could furnish her with an

occasion of dictating to others in the intervals of her discourse

with mrs collins she addressed a variety of questions to maria and

elizabeth but especially to the latter of whose connections she knew

the least and who she observed to mrs collins was a very genteel

pretty kind of girl she asked her at different times how many sisters

she had whether they were older or younger than herself whether any of

them were likely to be married whether they were handsome where they

had been educated what carriage her father kept and what had been

her mothers maiden name elizabeth felt all the impertinence of

her questions but answered them very composedly lady catherine then

observed

your fathers estate is entailed on mr collins i think for your

sake turning to charlotte i am glad of it but otherwise i see no

occasion for entailing estates from the female line it was not thought

necessary in sir lewis de bourghs family do you play and sing miss

bennet

a little

oh thensome time or other we shall be happy to hear you our

instrument is a capital one probably superior toyou shall try it

some day do your sisters play and sing

one of them does

why did not you all learn you ought all to have learned the miss

webbs all play and their father has not so good an income as yours do

you draw

no not at all

what none of you

not one

that is very strange but i suppose you had no opportunity your mother

should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters

my mother would have had no objection but my father hates london

has your governess left you

we never had any governess

no governess how was that possible five daughters brought up at home

without a governess i never heard of such a thing your mother must

have been quite a slave to your education

elizabeth could hardly help smiling as she assured her that had not been

the case

then who taught you who attended to you without a governess you

must have been neglected

compared with some families i believe we were but such of us as

wished to learn never wanted the means we were always encouraged to

read and had all the masters that were necessary those who chose to be

idle certainly might

aye no doubt but that is what a governess will prevent and if i had

known your mother i should have advised her most strenuously to engage

one i always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady

and regular instruction and nobody but a governess can give it it is

wonderful how many families i have been the means of supplying in that

way i am always glad to get a young person well placed out four nieces

of mrs jenkinson are most delightfully situated through my means and

it was but the other day that i recommended another young person

who was merely accidentally mentioned to me and the family are quite

delighted with her mrs collins did i tell you of lady metcalfs

calling yesterday to thank me she finds miss pope a treasure lady

catherine said she you have given me a treasure are any of your

younger sisters out miss bennet

yes maam all

all what all five out at once very odd and you only the second the

younger ones out before the elder ones are married your younger sisters

must be very young

yes my youngest is not sixteen perhaps she is full young to be

much in company but really maam i think it would be very hard upon

younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and

amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to

marry early the lastborn has as good a right to the pleasures of youth

as the first and to be kept back on such a motive i think it would

not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind

upon my word said her ladyship you give your opinion very decidedly

for so young a person pray what is your age

with three younger sisters grown up replied elizabeth smiling your

ladyship can hardly expect me to own it

lady catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer

and elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever

dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence

you cannot be more than twenty i am sure therefore you need not

conceal your age

i am not oneandtwenty

when the gentlemen had joined them and tea was over the cardtables

were placed lady catherine sir william and mr and mrs collins sat

down to quadrille and as miss de bourgh chose to play at cassino the

two girls had the honour of assisting mrs jenkinson to make up her

party their table was superlatively stupid scarcely a syllable was

uttered that did not relate to the game except when mrs jenkinson

expressed her fears of miss de bourghs being too hot or too cold or

having too much or too little light a great deal more passed at the

other table lady catherine was generally speakingstating the mistakes

of the three others or relating some anecdote of herself mr collins

was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship said thanking her

for every fish he won and apologising if he thought he won too many

sir william did not say much he was storing his memory with anecdotes

and noble names

when lady catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose

the tables were broken up the carriage was offered to mrs collins

gratefully accepted and immediately ordered the party then gathered

round the fire to hear lady catherine determine what weather they were

to have on the morrow from these instructions they were summoned by

the arrival of the coach and with many speeches of thankfulness on mr

collinss side and as many bows on sir williams they departed as soon

as they had driven from the door elizabeth was called on by her cousin

to give her opinion of all that she had seen at rosings which for

charlottes sake she made more favourable than it really was but her

commendation though costing her some trouble could by no means satisfy

mr collins and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyships praise

into his own hands

chapter 30

sir william stayed only a week at hunsford but his visit was long

enough to convince him of his daughters being most comfortably settled

and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not

often met with while sir william was with them mr collins devoted his

morning to driving him out in his gig and showing him the country but

when he went away the whole family returned to their usual employments

and elizabeth was thankful to find that they did not see more of her

cousin by the alteration for the chief of the time between breakfast

and dinner was now passed by him either at work in the garden or in

reading and writing and looking out of the window in his own bookroom

which fronted the road the room in which the ladies sat was backwards

elizabeth had at first rather wondered that charlotte should not prefer

the diningparlour for common use it was a better sized room and had a

more pleasant aspect but she soon saw that her friend had an excellent

reason for what she did for mr collins would undoubtedly have been

much less in his own apartment had they sat in one equally lively and

she gave charlotte credit for the arrangement

from the drawingroom they could distinguish nothing in the lane and

were indebted to mr collins for the knowledge of what carriages went

along and how often especially miss de bourgh drove by in her phaeton

which he never failed coming to inform them of though it happened

almost every day she not unfrequently stopped at the parsonage and

had a few minutes conversation with charlotte but was scarcely ever

prevailed upon to get out

very few days passed in which mr collins did not walk to rosings and

not many in which his wife did not think it necessary to go likewise

and till elizabeth recollected that there might be other family livings

to be disposed of she could not understand the sacrifice of so many

hours now and then they were honoured with a call from her ladyship

and nothing escaped her observation that was passing in the room during

these visits she examined into their employments looked at their work

and advised them to do it differently found fault with the arrangement

of the furniture or detected the housemaid in negligence and if she

accepted any refreshment seemed to do it only for the sake of finding

out that mrs collinss joints of meat were too large for her family

elizabeth soon perceived that though this great lady was not in

commission of the peace of the county she was a most active magistrate

in her own parish the minutest concerns of which were carried to her

by mr collins and whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to

be quarrelsome discontented or too poor she sallied forth into the

village to settle their differences silence their complaints and scold

them into harmony and plenty

the entertainment of dining at rosings was repeated about twice a week

and allowing for the loss of sir william and there being only one

cardtable in the evening every such entertainment was the counterpart

of the first their other engagements were few as the style of living

in the neighbourhood in general was beyond mr collinss reach this

however was no evil to elizabeth and upon the whole she spent her time

comfortably enough there were halfhours of pleasant conversation with

charlotte and the weather was so fine for the time of year that she had

often great enjoyment out of doors her favourite walk and where she

frequently went while the others were calling on lady catherine was

along the open grove which edged that side of the park where there was

a nice sheltered path which no one seemed to value but herself and

where she felt beyond the reach of lady catherines curiosity

in this quiet way the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away

easter was approaching and the week preceding it was to bring an

addition to the family at rosings which in so small a circle must be

important elizabeth had heard soon after her arrival that mr darcy was

expected there in the course of a few weeks and though there were not

many of her acquaintances whom she did not prefer his coming would

furnish one comparatively new to look at in their rosings parties and

she might be amused in seeing how hopeless miss bingleys designs on him

were by his behaviour to his cousin for whom he was evidently

destined by lady catherine who talked of his coming with the greatest

satisfaction spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration and

seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by

miss lucas and herself

his arrival was soon known at the parsonage for mr collins was walking

the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into hunsford lane

in order to have the earliest assurance of it and after making his

bow as the carriage turned into the park hurried home with the great

intelligence on the following morning he hastened to rosings to pay his

respects there were two nephews of lady catherine to require them for

mr darcy had brought with him a colonel fitzwilliam the younger son of

his uncle lord  and to the great surprise of all the party when

mr collins returned the gentlemen accompanied him charlotte had seen

them from her husbands room crossing the road and immediately running

into the other told the girls what an honour they might expect adding

i may thank you eliza for this piece of civility mr darcy would

never have come so soon to wait upon me

elizabeth had scarcely time to disclaim all right to the compliment

before their approach was announced by the doorbell and shortly

afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room colonel fitzwilliam

who led the way was about thirty not handsome but in person and

address most truly the gentleman mr darcy looked just as he had been

used to look in hertfordshirepaid his compliments with his usual

reserve to mrs collins and whatever might be his feelings toward her

friend met her with every appearance of composure elizabeth merely

curtseyed to him without saying a word

colonel fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the

readiness and ease of a wellbred man and talked very pleasantly but

his cousin after having addressed a slight observation on the house and

garden to mrs collins sat for some time without speaking to anybody

at length however his civility was so far awakened as to inquire of

elizabeth after the health of her family she answered him in the usual

way and after a moments pause added

my eldest sister has been in town these three months have you never

happened to see her there

she was perfectly sensible that he never had but she wished to see

whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between

the bingleys and jane and she thought he looked a little confused as he

answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet miss bennet the

subject was pursued no farther and the gentlemen soon afterwards went

away

chapter 31

colonel fitzwilliams manners were very much admired at the parsonage

and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures

of their engagements at rosings it was some days however before they

received any invitation thitherfor while there were visitors in the

house they could not be necessary and it was not till easterday

almost a week after the gentlemens arrival that they were honoured by

such an attention and then they were merely asked on leaving church to

come there in the evening for the last week they had seen very little

of lady catherine or her daughter colonel fitzwilliam had called at the

parsonage more than once during the time but mr darcy they had seen

only at church

the invitation was accepted of course and at a proper hour they joined

the party in lady catherines drawingroom her ladyship received

them civilly but it was plain that their company was by no means so

acceptable as when she could get nobody else and she was in fact

almost engrossed by her nephews speaking to them especially to darcy

much more than to any other person in the room

colonel fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them anything was a

welcome relief to him at rosings and mrs collinss pretty friend had

moreover caught his fancy very much he now seated himself by her and

talked so agreeably of kent and hertfordshire of travelling and staying

at home of new books and music that elizabeth had never been half so

well entertained in that room before and they conversed with so much

spirit and flow as to draw the attention of lady catherine herself

as well as of mr darcy his eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned

towards them with a look of curiosity and that her ladyship after a

while shared the feeling was more openly acknowledged for she did not

scruple to call out

what is that you are saying fitzwilliam what is it you are talking

of what are you telling miss bennet let me hear what it is

we are speaking of music madam said he when no longer able to avoid

a reply

of music then pray speak aloud it is of all subjects my delight i

must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music

there are few people in england i suppose who have more true enjoyment

of music than myself or a better natural taste if i had ever learnt

i should have been a great proficient and so would anne if her health

had allowed her to apply i am confident that she would have performed

delightfully how does georgiana get on darcy

mr darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sisters proficiency

i am very glad to hear such a good account of her said lady

catherine and pray tell her from me that she cannot expect to excel

if she does not practice a good deal

i assure you madam he replied that she does not need such advice

she practises very constantly

so much the better it cannot be done too much and when i next write

to her i shall charge her not to neglect it on any account i often

tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without

constant practice i have told miss bennet several times that she

will never play really well unless she practises more and though mrs

collins has no instrument she is very welcome as i have often told

her to come to rosings every day and play on the pianoforte in mrs

jenkinsons room she would be in nobodys way you know in that part

of the house

mr darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunts illbreeding and made

no answer

when coffee was over colonel fitzwilliam reminded elizabeth of having

promised to play to him and she sat down directly to the instrument he

drew a chair near her lady catherine listened to half a song and then

talked as before to her other nephew till the latter walked away

from her and making with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte

stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performers

countenance elizabeth saw what he was doing and at the first

convenient pause turned to him with an arch smile and said

you mean to frighten me mr darcy by coming in all this state to hear

me i will not be alarmed though your sister does play so well there

is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the

will of others my courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate

me

i shall not say you are mistaken he replied because you could not

really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you and i have

had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find

great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are

not your own

elizabeth laughed heartily at this picture of herself and said to

colonel fitzwilliam your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of

me and teach you not to believe a word i say i am particularly unlucky

in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character in a part

of the world where i had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of

credit indeed mr darcy it is very ungenerous in you to mention all

that you knew to my disadvantage in hertfordshireand give me leave to

say very impolitic toofor it is provoking me to retaliate and such

things may come out as will shock your relations to hear

i am not afraid of you said he smilingly

pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of cried colonel

fitzwilliam i should like to know how he behaves among strangers

you shall hear thenbut prepare yourself for something very dreadful

the first time of my ever seeing him in hertfordshire you must know

was at a balland at this ball what do you think he did he danced

only four dances though gentlemen were scarce and to my certain

knowledge more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a

partner mr darcy you cannot deny the fact

i had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly

beyond my own party

true and nobody can ever be introduced in a ballroom well colonel

fitzwilliam what do i play next my fingers wait your orders

perhaps said darcy i should have judged better had i sought an

introduction but i am illqualified to recommend myself to strangers

shall we ask your cousin the reason of this said elizabeth still

addressing colonel fitzwilliam shall we ask him why a man of sense and

education and who has lived in the world is ill qualified to recommend

himself to strangers

i can answer your question said fitzwilliam without applying to

him it is because he will not give himself the trouble

i certainly have not the talent which some people possess said darcy

of conversing easily with those i have never seen before i cannot

catch their tone of conversation or appear interested in their

concerns as i often see done

my fingers said elizabeth do not move over this instrument in the

masterly manner which i see so many womens do they have not the same

force or rapidity and do not produce the same expression but then i

have always supposed it to be my own faultbecause i will not take the

trouble of practising it is not that i do not believe my fingers as

capable as any other womans of superior execution

darcy smiled and said you are perfectly right you have employed your

time much better no one admitted to the privilege of hearing you can

think anything wanting we neither of us perform to strangers

here they were interrupted by lady catherine who called out to know

what they were talking of elizabeth immediately began playing again

lady catherine approached and after listening for a few minutes said

to darcy

miss bennet would not play at all amiss if she practised more and

could have the advantage of a london master she has a very good notion

of fingering though her taste is not equal to annes anne would have

been a delightful performer had her health allowed her to learn

elizabeth looked at darcy to see how cordially he assented to his

cousins praise but neither at that moment nor at any other could she

discern any symptom of love and from the whole of his behaviour to miss

de bourgh she derived this comfort for miss bingley that he might have

been just as likely to marry her had she been his relation

lady catherine continued her remarks on elizabeths performance mixing

with them many instructions on execution and taste elizabeth received

them with all the forbearance of civility and at the request of the

gentlemen remained at the instrument till her ladyships carriage was

ready to take them all home

chapter 32

elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning and writing to jane

while mrs collins and maria were gone on business into the village

when she was startled by a ring at the door the certain signal of a

visitor as she had heard no carriage she thought it not unlikely to

be lady catherine and under that apprehension was putting away her

halffinished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions

when the door opened and to her very great surprise mr darcy and

mr darcy only entered the room

he seemed astonished too on finding her alone and apologised for his

intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies were

to be within

they then sat down and when her inquiries after rosings were made

seemed in danger of sinking into total silence it was absolutely

necessary therefore to think of something and in this emergence

recollecting when she had seen him last in hertfordshire and

feeling curious to know what he would say on the subject of their hasty

departure she observed

how very suddenly you all quitted netherfield last november mr darcy

it must have been a most agreeable surprise to mr bingley to see you

all after him so soon for if i recollect right he went but the day

before he and his sisters were well i hope when you left london

perfectly so i thank you

she found that she was to receive no other answer and after a short

pause added

i think i have understood that mr bingley has not much idea of ever

returning to netherfield again

i have never heard him say so but it is probable that he may spend

very little of his time there in the future he has many friends and

is at a time of life when friends and engagements are continually

increasing

if he means to be but little at netherfield it would be better for

the neighbourhood that he should give up the place entirely for then we

might possibly get a settled family there but perhaps mr bingley did

not take the house so much for the convenience of the neighbourhood as

for his own and we must expect him to keep it or quit it on the same

principle

i should not be surprised said darcy if he were to give it up as

soon as any eligible purchase offers

elizabeth made no answer she was afraid of talking longer of his

friend and having nothing else to say was now determined to leave the

trouble of finding a subject to him

he took the hint and soon began with this seems a very comfortable

house lady catherine i believe did a great deal to it when mr

collins first came to hunsford

i believe she didand i am sure she could not have bestowed her

kindness on a more grateful object

mr collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife

yes indeed his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one

of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him or have made

him happy if they had my friend has an excellent understandingthough

i am not certain that i consider her marrying mr collins as the

wisest thing she ever did she seems perfectly happy however and in a

prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her

it must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a

distance of her own family and friends

an easy distance do you call it it is nearly fifty miles

and what is fifty miles of good road little more than half a days

journey yes i call it a very easy distance

i should never have considered the distance as one of the advantages

of the match cried elizabeth i should never have said mrs collins

was settled near her family

it is a proof of your own attachment to hertfordshire anything beyond

the very neighbourhood of longbourn i suppose would appear far

as he spoke there was a sort of smile which elizabeth fancied she

understood he must be supposing her to be thinking of jane and

netherfield and she blushed as she answered

i do not mean to say that a woman may not be settled too near her

family the far and the near must be relative and depend on many

varying circumstances where there is fortune to make the expenses of

travelling unimportant distance becomes no evil but that is not the

case here mr and mrs collins have a comfortable income but not

such a one as will allow of frequent journeysand i am persuaded my

friend would not call herself near her family under less than half

the present distance

mr darcy drew his chair a little towards her and said you cannot

have a right to such very strong local attachment you cannot have

been always at longbourn

elizabeth looked surprised the gentleman experienced some change of

feeling he drew back his chair took a newspaper from the table and

glancing over it said in a colder voice

are you pleased with kent

a short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued on either side

calm and conciseand soon put an end to by the entrance of charlotte

and her sister just returned from her walk the teteatete surprised

them mr darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding

on miss bennet and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying

much to anybody went away

what can be the meaning of this said charlotte as soon as he was

gone my dear eliza he must be in love with you or he would never

have called us in this familiar way

but when elizabeth told of his silence it did not seem very likely

even to charlottes wishes to be the case and after various

conjectures they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed from

the difficulty of finding anything to do which was the more probable

from the time of year all field sports were over within doors there

was lady catherine books and a billiardtable but gentlemen cannot

always be within doors and in the nearness of the parsonage or the

pleasantness of the walk to it or of the people who lived in it the

two cousins found a temptation from this period of walking thither

almost every day they called at various times of the morning sometimes

separately sometimes together and now and then accompanied by their

aunt it was plain to them all that colonel fitzwilliam came because he

had pleasure in their society a persuasion which of course recommended

him still more and elizabeth was reminded by her own satisfaction in

being with him as well as by his evident admiration of her of her

former favourite george wickham and though in comparing them she saw

there was less captivating softness in colonel fitzwilliams manners

she believed he might have the best informed mind

but why mr darcy came so often to the parsonage it was more difficult

to understand it could not be for society as he frequently sat there

ten minutes together without opening his lips and when he did speak

it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of choicea sacrifice

to propriety not a pleasure to himself he seldom appeared really

animated mrs collins knew not what to make of him colonel

fitzwilliams occasionally laughing at his stupidity proved that he was

generally different which her own knowledge of him could not have told

her and as she would liked to have believed this change the effect

of love and the object of that love her friend eliza she set herself

seriously to work to find it out she watched him whenever they were at

rosings and whenever he came to hunsford but without much success he

certainly looked at her friend a great deal but the expression of that

look was disputable it was an earnest steadfast gaze but she often

doubted whether there were much admiration in it and sometimes it

seemed nothing but absence of mind

she had once or twice suggested to elizabeth the possibility of his

being partial to her but elizabeth always laughed at the idea and mrs

collins did not think it right to press the subject from the danger of

raising expectations which might only end in disappointment for in her

opinion it admitted not of a doubt that all her friends dislike would

vanish if she could suppose him to be in her power

in her kind schemes for elizabeth she sometimes planned her marrying

colonel fitzwilliam he was beyond comparison the most pleasant man he

certainly admired her and his situation in life was most eligible but

to counterbalance these advantages mr darcy had considerable patronage

in the church and his cousin could have none at all

chapter 33

more than once did elizabeth in her ramble within the park

unexpectedly meet mr darcy she felt all the perverseness of the

mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought and to

prevent its ever happening again took care to inform him at first that

it was a favourite haunt of hers how it could occur a second time

therefore was very odd yet it did and even a third it seemed like

wilful illnature or a voluntary penance for on these occasions it was

not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away

but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her he

never said a great deal nor did she give herself the trouble of talking

or of listening much but it struck her in the course of their third

rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected questionsabout

her pleasure in being at hunsford her love of solitary walks and her

opinion of mr and mrs collinss happiness and that in speaking of

rosings and her not perfectly understanding the house he seemed to

expect that whenever she came into kent again she would be staying

there too his words seemed to imply it could he have colonel

fitzwilliam in his thoughts she supposed if he meant anything he must

mean an allusion to what might arise in that quarter it distressed

her a little and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the

pales opposite the parsonage

she was engaged one day as she walked in perusing janes last letter

and dwelling on some passages which proved that jane had not written in

spirits when instead of being again surprised by mr darcy she saw

on looking up that colonel fitzwilliam was meeting her putting away the

letter immediately and forcing a smile she said

i did not know before that you ever walked this way

i have been making the tour of the park he replied as i generally

do every year and intend to close it with a call at the parsonage are

you going much farther

no i should have turned in a moment

and accordingly she did turn and they walked towards the parsonage

together

do you certainly leave kent on saturday said she

yesif darcy does not put it off again but i am at his disposal he

arranges the business just as he pleases

and if not able to please himself in the arrangement he has at least

pleasure in the great power of choice i do not know anybody who seems

more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than mr darcy

he likes to have his own way very well replied colonel fitzwilliam

but so we all do it is only that he has better means of having it

than many others because he is rich and many others are poor i speak

feelingly a younger son you know must be inured to selfdenial and

dependence

in my opinion the younger son of an earl can know very little of

either now seriously what have you ever known of selfdenial and

dependence when have you been prevented by want of money from going

wherever you chose or procuring anything you had a fancy for

these are home questionsand perhaps i cannot say that i have

experienced many hardships of that nature but in matters of greater

weight i may suffer from want of money younger sons cannot marry where

they like

unless where they like women of fortune which i think they very often

do

our habits of expense make us too dependent and there are not many

in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to

money

is this thought elizabeth meant for me and she coloured at the

idea but recovering herself said in a lively tone and pray what

is the usual price of an earls younger son unless the elder brother is

very sickly i suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds

he answered her in the same style and the subject dropped to interrupt

a silence which might make him fancy her affected with what had passed

she soon afterwards said

i imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of

having someone at his disposal i wonder he does not marry to secure a

lasting convenience of that kind but perhaps his sister does as well

for the present and as she is under his sole care he may do what he

likes with her

no said colonel fitzwilliam that is an advantage which he must

divide with me i am joined with him in the guardianship of miss darcy

are you indeed and pray what sort of guardians do you make does your

charge give you much trouble young ladies of her age are sometimes a

little difficult to manage and if she has the true darcy spirit she

may like to have her own way

as she spoke she observed him looking at her earnestly and the manner

in which he immediately asked her why she supposed miss darcy likely to

give them any uneasiness convinced her that she had somehow or other

got pretty near the truth she directly replied

you need not be frightened i never heard any harm of her and i dare

say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world she is a

very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance mrs hurst and

miss bingley i think i have heard you say that you know them

i know them a little their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike manhe

is a great friend of darcys

oh yes said elizabeth drily mr darcy is uncommonly kind to mr

bingley and takes a prodigious deal of care of him

care of him yes i really believe darcy does take care of him in

those points where he most wants care from something that he told me in

our journey hither i have reason to think bingley very much indebted to

him but i ought to beg his pardon for i have no right to suppose that

bingley was the person meant it was all conjecture

what is it you mean

it is a circumstance which darcy could not wish to be generally known

because if it were to get round to the ladys family it would be an

unpleasant thing

you may depend upon my not mentioning it

and remember that i have not much reason for supposing it to be

bingley what he told me was merely this that he congratulated himself

on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most

imprudent marriage but without mentioning names or any other

particulars and i only suspected it to be bingley from believing

him the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort and from

knowing them to have been together the whole of last summer

did mr darcy give you reasons for this interference

i understood that there were some very strong objections against the

lady

and what arts did he use to separate them

he did not talk to me of his own arts said fitzwilliam smiling he

only told me what i have now told you

elizabeth made no answer and walked on her heart swelling with

indignation after watching her a little fitzwilliam asked her why she

was so thoughtful

i am thinking of what you have been telling me said she your

cousins conduct does not suit my feelings why was he to be the judge

you are rather disposed to call his interference officious

i do not see what right mr darcy had to decide on the propriety of his

friends inclination or why upon his own judgement alone he was to

determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy

but she continued recollecting herself as we know none of the

particulars it is not fair to condemn him it is not to be supposed

that there was much affection in the case

that is not an unnatural surmise said fitzwilliam but it is a

lessening of the honour of my cousins triumph very sadly

this was spoken jestingly but it appeared to her so just a picture

of mr darcy that she would not trust herself with an answer and

therefore abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent

matters until they reached the parsonage there shut into her own room

as soon as their visitor left them she could think without interruption

of all that she had heard it was not to be supposed that any other

people could be meant than those with whom she was connected there

could not exist in the world two men over whom mr darcy could have

such boundless influence that he had been concerned in the measures

taken to separate bingley and jane she had never doubted but she had

always attributed to miss bingley the principal design and arrangement

of them if his own vanity however did not mislead him he was

the cause his pride and caprice were the cause of all that jane had

suffered and still continued to suffer he had ruined for a while

every hope of happiness for the most affectionate generous heart in the

world and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted

there were some very strong objections against the lady were colonel

fitzwilliams words and those strong objections probably were her

having one uncle who was a country attorney and another who was in

business in london

to jane herself she exclaimed there could be no possibility of

objection all loveliness and goodness as she isher understanding

excellent her mind improved and her manners captivating neither

could anything be urged against my father who though with some

peculiarities has abilities mr darcy himself need not disdain and

respectability which he will probably never reach when she thought of

her mother her confidence gave way a little but she would not allow

that any objections there had material weight with mr darcy whose

pride she was convinced would receive a deeper wound from the want of

importance in his friends connections than from their want of sense

and she was quite decided at last that he had been partly governed

by this worst kind of pride and partly by the wish of retaining mr

bingley for his sister

the agitation and tears which the subject occasioned brought on a

headache and it grew so much worse towards the evening that added to

her unwillingness to see mr darcy it determined her not to attend her

cousins to rosings where they were engaged to drink tea mrs collins

seeing that she was really unwell did not press her to go and as much

as possible prevented her husband from pressing her but mr collins

could not conceal his apprehension of lady catherines being rather

displeased by her staying at home

chapter 34

when they were gone elizabeth as if intending to exasperate herself

as much as possible against mr darcy chose for her employment the

examination of all the letters which jane had written to her since her

being in kent they contained no actual complaint nor was there any

revival of past occurrences or any communication of present suffering

but in all and in almost every line of each there was a want of that

cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style and which

proceeding from the serenity of a mind at ease with itself and kindly

disposed towards everyone had been scarcely ever clouded elizabeth

noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness with an

attention which it had hardly received on the first perusal mr darcys

shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict gave her

a keener sense of her sisters sufferings it was some consolation

to think that his visit to rosings was to end on the day after the

nextand a still greater that in less than a fortnight she should

herself be with jane again and enabled to contribute to the recovery of

her spirits by all that affection could do

she could not think of darcys leaving kent without remembering that

his cousin was to go with him but colonel fitzwilliam had made it clear

that he had no intentions at all and agreeable as he was she did not

mean to be unhappy about him

while settling this point she was suddenly roused by the sound of the

doorbell and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its

being colonel fitzwilliam himself who had once before called late in

the evening and might now come to inquire particularly after her

but this idea was soon banished and her spirits were very differently

affected when to her utter amazement she saw mr darcy walk into the

room in an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her

health imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better

she answered him with cold civility he sat down for a few moments and

then getting up walked about the room elizabeth was surprised but

said not a word after a silence of several minutes he came towards her

in an agitated manner and thus began

in vain i have struggled it will not do my feelings will not be

repressed you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love

you

elizabeths astonishment was beyond expression she stared coloured

doubted and was silent this he considered sufficient encouragement

and the avowal of all that he felt and had long felt for her

immediately followed he spoke well but there were feelings besides

those of the heart to be detailed and he was not more eloquent on the

subject of tenderness than of pride his sense of her inferiorityof

its being a degradationof the family obstacles which had always

opposed to inclination were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to

the consequence he was wounding but was very unlikely to recommend his

suit

in spite of her deeplyrooted dislike she could not be insensible to

the compliment of such a mans affection and though her intentions did

not vary for an instant she was at first sorry for the pain he was to

receive till roused to resentment by his subsequent language she

lost all compassion in anger she tried however to compose herself to

answer him with patience when he should have done he concluded with

representing to her the strength of that attachment which in spite

of all his endeavours he had found impossible to conquer and with

expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of

his hand as he said this she could easily see that he had no doubt

of a favourable answer he spoke of apprehension and anxiety but

his countenance expressed real security such a circumstance could

only exasperate farther and when he ceased the colour rose into her

cheeks and she said

in such cases as this it is i believe the established mode to

express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed however

unequally they may be returned it is natural that obligation should

be felt and if i could feel gratitude i would now thank you but i

cannoti have never desired your good opinion and you have certainly

bestowed it most unwillingly i am sorry to have occasioned pain to

anyone it has been most unconsciously done however and i hope will be

of short duration the feelings which you tell me have long prevented

the acknowledgment of your regard can have little difficulty in

overcoming it after this explanation

mr darcy who was leaning against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed

on her face seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than

surprise his complexion became pale with anger and the disturbance

of his mind was visible in every feature he was struggling for the

appearance of composure and would not open his lips till he believed

himself to have attained it the pause was to elizabeths feelings

dreadful at length with a voice of forced calmness he said

and this is all the reply which i am to have the honour of expecting

i might perhaps wish to be informed why with so little endeavour at

civility i am thus rejected but it is of small importance

i might as well inquire replied she why with so evident a desire

of offending and insulting me you chose to tell me that you liked me

against your will against your reason and even against your character

was not this some excuse for incivility if i was uncivil but i have

other provocations you know i have had not my feelings decided against

youhad they been indifferent or had they even been favourable do you

think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has

been the means of ruining perhaps for ever the happiness of a most

beloved sister

as she pronounced these words mr darcy changed colour but the emotion

was short and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she

continued

i have every reason in the world to think ill of you no motive can

excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted there you dare not

you cannot deny that you have been the principal if not the only means

of dividing them from each otherof exposing one to the censure of the

world for caprice and instability and the other to its derision for

disappointed hopes and involving them both in misery of the acutest

kind

she paused and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening

with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse

he even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity

can you deny that you have done it she repeated

with assumed tranquillity he then replied i have no wish of denying

that i did everything in my power to separate my friend from your

sister or that i rejoice in my success towards him i have been

kinder than towards myself

elizabeth disdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection

but its meaning did not escape nor was it likely to conciliate her

but it is not merely this affair she continued on which my dislike

is founded long before it had taken place my opinion of you was

decided your character was unfolded in the recital which i received

many months ago from mr wickham on this subject what can you have to

say in what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself

or under what misrepresentation can you here impose upon others

you take an eager interest in that gentlemans concerns said darcy

in a less tranquil tone and with a heightened colour

who that knows what his misfortunes have been can help feeling an

interest in him

his misfortunes repeated darcy contemptuously yes his misfortunes

have been great indeed

and of your infliction cried elizabeth with energy you have reduced

him to his present state of povertycomparative poverty you have

withheld the advantages which you must know to have been designed for

him you have deprived the best years of his life of that independence

which was no less his due than his desert you have done all this

and yet you can treat the mention of his misfortune with contempt and

ridicule

and this cried darcy as he walked with quick steps across the room

is your opinion of me this is the estimation in which you hold me

i thank you for explaining it so fully my faults according to this

calculation are heavy indeed but perhaps added he stopping in

his walk and turning towards her these offenses might have been

overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the

scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design these

bitter accusations might have been suppressed had i with greater

policy concealed my struggles and flattered you into the belief of

my being impelled by unqualified unalloyed inclination by reason by

reflection by everything but disguise of every sort is my abhorrence

nor am i ashamed of the feelings i related they were natural and

just could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your

connectionsto congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose

condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own

elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment yet she tried to

the utmost to speak with composure when she said

you are mistaken mr darcy if you suppose that the mode of your

declaration affected me in any other way than as it spared me the concern

which i might have felt in refusing you had you behaved in a more

gentlemanlike manner

she saw him start at this but he said nothing and she continued

you could not have made the offer of your hand in any possible way that

would have tempted me to accept it

again his astonishment was obvious and he looked at her with an

expression of mingled incredulity and mortification she went on

from the very beginningfrom the first moment i may almost sayof

my acquaintance with you your manners impressing me with the fullest

belief of your arrogance your conceit and your selfish disdain of

the feelings of others were such as to form the groundwork of

disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a

dislike and i had not known you a month before i felt that you were the

last man in the world whom i could ever be prevailed on to marry

you have said quite enough madam i perfectly comprehend your

feelings and have now only to be ashamed of what my own have been

forgive me for having taken up so much of your time and accept my best

wishes for your health and happiness

and with these words he hastily left the room and elizabeth heard him

the next moment open the front door and quit the house

the tumult of her mind was now painfully great she knew not how

to support herself and from actual weakness sat down and cried for

halfanhour her astonishment as she reflected on what had passed

was increased by every review of it that she should receive an offer of

marriage from mr darcy that he should have been in love with her for

so many months so much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of

all the objections which had made him prevent his friends marrying

her sister and which must appear at least with equal force in his

own casewas almost incredible it was gratifying to have inspired

unconsciously so strong an affection but his pride his abominable

pridehis shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to

janehis unpardonable assurance in acknowledging though he could

not justify it and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned mr

wickham his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny soon

overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for

a moment excited she continued in very agitated reflections till the

sound of lady catherines carriage made her feel how unequal she was to

encounter charlottes observation and hurried her away to her room

chapter 35

elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations

which had at length closed her eyes she could not yet recover from the

surprise of what had happened it was impossible to think of anything

else and totally indisposed for employment she resolved soon after

breakfast to indulge herself in air and exercise she was proceeding

directly to her favourite walk when the recollection of mr darcys

sometimes coming there stopped her and instead of entering the park

she turned up the lane which led farther from the turnpikeroad the

park paling was still the boundary on one side and she soon passed one

of the gates into the ground

after walking two or three times along that part of the lane she was

tempted by the pleasantness of the morning to stop at the gates and

look into the park the five weeks which she had now passed in kent had

made a great difference in the country and every day was adding to the

verdure of the early trees she was on the point of continuing her walk

when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which

edged the park he was moving that way and fearful of its being mr

darcy she was directly retreating but the person who advanced was now

near enough to see her and stepping forward with eagerness pronounced

her name she had turned away but on hearing herself called though

in a voice which proved it to be mr darcy she moved again towards the

gate he had by that time reached it also and holding out a letter

which she instinctively took said with a look of haughty composure

i have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you

will you do me the honour of reading that letter and then with a

slight bow turned again into the plantation and was soon out of sight

with no expectation of pleasure but with the strongest curiosity

elizabeth opened the letter and to her still increasing wonder

perceived an envelope containing two sheets of letterpaper written

quite through in a very close hand the envelope itself was likewise

full pursuing her way along the lane she then began it it was dated

from rosings at eight oclock in the morning and was as follows

be not alarmed madam on receiving this letter by the apprehension

of its containing any repetition of those sentiments or renewal of those

offers which were last night so disgusting to you i write without any

intention of paining you or humbling myself by dwelling on wishes

which for the happiness of both cannot be too soon forgotten and the

effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion

should have been spared had not my character required it to be written

and read you must therefore pardon the freedom with which i demand

your attention your feelings i know will bestow it unwillingly but i

demand it of your justice

two offenses of a very different nature and by no means of equal

magnitude you last night laid to my charge the first mentioned was

that regardless of the sentiments of either i had detached mr bingley

from your sister and the other that i had in defiance of various

claims in defiance of honour and humanity ruined the immediate

prosperity and blasted the prospects of mr wickham wilfully and

wantonly to have thrown off the companion of my youth the acknowledged

favourite of my father a young man who had scarcely any other

dependence than on our patronage and who had been brought up to expect

its exertion would be a depravity to which the separation of two young

persons whose affection could be the growth of only a few weeks could

bear no comparison but from the severity of that blame which was last

night so liberally bestowed respecting each circumstance i shall hope

to be in the future secured when the following account of my actions

and their motives has been read if in the explanation of them which

is due to myself i am under the necessity of relating feelings which

may be offensive to yours i can only say that i am sorry the necessity

must be obeyed and further apology would be absurd

i had not been long in hertfordshire before i saw in common with

others that bingley preferred your elder sister to any other young

woman in the country but it was not till the evening of the dance

at netherfield that i had any apprehension of his feeling a serious

attachment i had often seen him in love before at that ball while i

had the honour of dancing with you i was first made acquainted by sir

william lucass accidental information that bingleys attentions to

your sister had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage

he spoke of it as a certain event of which the time alone could

be undecided from that moment i observed my friends behaviour

attentively and i could then perceive that his partiality for miss

bennet was beyond what i had ever witnessed in him your sister i also

watched her look and manners were open cheerful and engaging as ever

but without any symptom of peculiar regard and i remained convinced

from the evenings scrutiny that though she received his attentions

with pleasure she did not invite them by any participation of

sentiment if you have not been mistaken here i must have been

in error your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter

probable if it be so if i have been misled by such error to inflict

pain on her your resentment has not been unreasonable but i shall not

scruple to assert that the serenity of your sisters countenance and

air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction

that however amiable her temper her heart was not likely to be

easily touched that i was desirous of believing her indifferent is

certainbut i will venture to say that my investigation and decisions

are not usually influenced by my hopes or fears i did not believe

her to be indifferent because i wished it i believed it on impartial

conviction as truly as i wished it in reason my objections to the

marriage were not merely those which i last night acknowledged to have

the utmost force of passion to put aside in my own case the want of

connection could not be so great an evil to my friend as to me but

there were other causes of repugnance causes which though still

existing and existing to an equal degree in both instances i had

myself endeavoured to forget because they were not immediately before

me these causes must be stated though briefly the situation of your

mothers family though objectionable was nothing in comparison to that

total want of propriety so frequently so almost uniformly betrayed by

herself by your three younger sisters and occasionally even by your

father pardon me it pains me to offend you but amidst your concern

for the defects of your nearest relations and your displeasure at this

representation of them let it give you consolation to consider that to

have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure

is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your elder sister than

it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both i will only say

farther that from what passed that evening my opinion of all parties

was confirmed and every inducement heightened which could have led

me before to preserve my friend from what i esteemed a most unhappy

connection he left netherfield for london on the day following as

you i am certain remember with the design of soon returning

the part which i acted is now to be explained his sisters uneasiness

had been equally excited with my own our coincidence of feeling was

soon discovered and alike sensible that no time was to be lost in

detaching their brother we shortly resolved on joining him directly in

london we accordingly wentand there i readily engaged in the office

of pointing out to my friend the certain evils of such a choice i

described and enforced them earnestly but however this remonstrance

might have staggered or delayed his determination i do not suppose

that it would ultimately have prevented the marriage had it not been

seconded by the assurance that i hesitated not in giving of your

sisters indifference he had before believed her to return his

affection with sincere if not with equal regard but bingley has great

natural modesty with a stronger dependence on my judgement than on his

own to convince him therefore that he had deceived himself was

no very difficult point to persuade him against returning into

hertfordshire when that conviction had been given was scarcely the

work of a moment i cannot blame myself for having done thus much there

is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which i do not

reflect with satisfaction it is that i condescended to adopt the

measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sisters being in

town i knew it myself as it was known to miss bingley but her

brother is even yet ignorant of it that they might have met without

ill consequence is perhaps probable but his regard did not appear to me

enough extinguished for him to see her without some danger perhaps this

concealment this disguise was beneath me it is done however and it

was done for the best on this subject i have nothing more to say no

other apology to offer if i have wounded your sisters feelings it

was unknowingly done and though the motives which governed me may to

you very naturally appear insufficient i have not yet learnt to condemn

them

with respect to that other more weighty accusation of having injured

mr wickham i can only refute it by laying before you the whole of his

connection with my family of what he has particularly accused me i

am ignorant but of the truth of what i shall relate i can summon more

than one witness of undoubted veracity

mr wickham is the son of a very respectable man who had for many

years the management of all the pemberley estates and whose good

conduct in the discharge of his trust naturally inclined my father to

be of service to him and on george wickham who was his godson his

kindness was therefore liberally bestowed my father supported him at

school and afterwards at cambridgemost important assistance as his

own father always poor from the extravagance of his wife would have

been unable to give him a gentlemans education my father was not only

fond of this young mans society whose manners were always engaging he

had also the highest opinion of him and hoping the church would be

his profession intended to provide for him in it as for myself it is

many many years since i first began to think of him in a very different

manner the vicious propensitiesthe want of principle which he was

careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend could not escape

the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself

and who had opportunities of seeing him in unguarded moments which mr

darcy could not have here again i shall give you painto what degree

you only can tell but whatever may be the sentiments which mr wickham

has created a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from

unfolding his real characterit adds even another motive

my excellent father died about five years ago and his attachment to

mr wickham was to the last so steady that in his will he particularly

recommended it to me to promote his advancement in the best manner

that his profession might allowand if he took orders desired that a

valuable family living might be his as soon as it became vacant there

was also a legacy of one thousand pounds his own father did not long

survive mine and within half a year from these events mr wickham

wrote to inform me that having finally resolved against taking orders

he hoped i should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more

immediate pecuniary advantage in lieu of the preferment by which he

could not be benefited he had some intention he added of studying

law and i must be aware that the interest of one thousand pounds would

be a very insufficient support therein i rather wished than believed

him to be sincere but at any rate was perfectly ready to accede to

his proposal i knew that mr wickham ought not to be a clergyman the

business was therefore soon settledhe resigned all claim to assistance

in the church were it possible that he could ever be in a situation to

receive it and accepted in return three thousand pounds all connection

between us seemed now dissolved i thought too ill of him to invite him

to pemberley or admit his society in town in town i believe he chiefly

lived but his studying the law was a mere pretence and being now free

from all restraint his life was a life of idleness and dissipation

for about three years i heard little of him but on the decease of the

incumbent of the living which had been designed for him he applied to

me again by letter for the presentation his circumstances he assured

me and i had no difficulty in believing it were exceedingly bad he

had found the law a most unprofitable study and was now absolutely

resolved on being ordained if i would present him to the living in

questionof which he trusted there could be little doubt as he was

well assured that i had no other person to provide for and i could not

have forgotten my revered fathers intentions you will hardly blame

me for refusing to comply with this entreaty or for resisting every

repetition to it his resentment was in proportion to the distress of

his circumstancesand he was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me

to others as in his reproaches to myself after this period every

appearance of acquaintance was dropped how he lived i know not but

last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice

i must now mention a circumstance which i would wish to forget myself

and which no obligation less than the present should induce me to unfold

to any human being having said thus much i feel no doubt of your

secrecy my sister who is more than ten years my junior was left to

the guardianship of my mothers nephew colonel fitzwilliam and myself

about a year ago she was taken from school and an establishment formed

for her in london and last summer she went with the lady who presided

over it to ramsgate and thither also went mr wickham undoubtedly by

design for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him

and mrs younge in whose character we were most unhappily deceived and

by her connivance and aid he so far recommended himself to georgiana

whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to

her as a child that she was persuaded to believe herself in love and

to consent to an elopement she was then but fifteen which must be her

excuse and after stating her imprudence i am happy to add that i owed

the knowledge of it to herself i joined them unexpectedly a day or two

before the intended elopement and then georgiana unable to support the

idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as

a father acknowledged the whole to me you may imagine what i felt and

how i acted regard for my sisters credit and feelings prevented

any public exposure but i wrote to mr wickham who left the place

immediately and mrs younge was of course removed from her charge mr

wickhams chief object was unquestionably my sisters fortune which

is thirty thousand pounds but i cannot help supposing that the hope of

revenging himself on me was a strong inducement his revenge would have

been complete indeed

this madam is a faithful narrative of every event in which we have

been concerned together and if you do not absolutely reject it as

false you will i hope acquit me henceforth of cruelty towards mr

wickham i know not in what manner under what form of falsehood he

had imposed on you but his success is not perhaps to be wondered

at ignorant as you previously were of everything concerning either

detection could not be in your power and suspicion certainly not in

your inclination

you may possibly wonder why all this was not told you last night but

i was not then master enough of myself to know what could or ought to

be revealed for the truth of everything here related i can appeal more

particularly to the testimony of colonel fitzwilliam who from our

near relationship and constant intimacy and still more as one of

the executors of my fathers will has been unavoidably acquainted

with every particular of these transactions if your abhorrence of me

should make my assertions valueless you cannot be prevented by

the same cause from confiding in my cousin and that there may be

the possibility of consulting him i shall endeavour to find some

opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the

morning i will only add god bless you

fitzwilliam darcy

chapter 36

if elizabeth when mr darcy gave her the letter did not expect it to

contain a renewal of his offers she had formed no expectation at all of

its contents but such as they were it may well be supposed how eagerly

she went through them and what a contrariety of emotion they excited

her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined with amazement did

she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power

and steadfastly was she persuaded that he could have no explanation

to give which a just sense of shame would not conceal with a strong

prejudice against everything he might say she began his account of what

had happened at netherfield she read with an eagerness which hardly

left her power of comprehension and from impatience of knowing what the

next sentence might bring was incapable of attending to the sense of

the one before her eyes his belief of her sisters insensibility she

instantly resolved to be false and his account of the real the worst

objections to the match made her too angry to have any wish of doing

him justice he expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied

her his style was not penitent but haughty it was all pride and

insolence

but when this subject was succeeded by his account of mr wickhamwhen

she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which

if true must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth and which

bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himselfher

feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition

astonishment apprehension and even horror oppressed her she wished

to discredit it entirely repeatedly exclaiming this must be false

this cannot be this must be the grossest falsehoodand when she had

gone through the whole letter though scarcely knowing anything of the

last page or two put it hastily away protesting that she would not

regard it that she would never look in it again

in this perturbed state of mind with thoughts that could rest on

nothing she walked on but it would not do in half a minute the letter

was unfolded again and collecting herself as well as she could she

again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to wickham and

commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence

the account of his connection with the pemberley family was exactly what

he had related himself and the kindness of the late mr darcy though

she had not before known its extent agreed equally well with his own

words so far each recital confirmed the other but when she came to the

will the difference was great what wickham had said of the living

was fresh in her memory and as she recalled his very words it was

impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the

other and for a few moments she flattered herself that her wishes did

not err but when she read and reread with the closest attention the

particulars immediately following of wickhams resigning all pretensions

to the living of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three

thousand pounds again was she forced to hesitate she put down

the letter weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be

impartialitydeliberated on the probability of each statementbut with

little success on both sides it was only assertion again she read

on but every line proved more clearly that the affair which she had

believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to

render mr darcys conduct in it less than infamous was capable of a

turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole

the extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at

mr wickhams charge exceedingly shocked her the more so as she could

bring no proof of its injustice she had never heard of him before his

entrance into the shire militia in which he had engaged at the

persuasion of the young man who on meeting him accidentally in town

had there renewed a slight acquaintance of his former way of life

nothing had been known in hertfordshire but what he told himself as

to his real character had information been in her power she had

never felt a wish of inquiring his countenance voice and manner had

established him at once in the possession of every virtue she tried

to recollect some instance of goodness some distinguished trait of

integrity or benevolence that might rescue him from the attacks of

mr darcy or at least by the predominance of virtue atone for those

casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what mr darcy

had described as the idleness and vice of many years continuance but

no such recollection befriended her she could see him instantly before

her in every charm of air and address but she could remember no more

substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood and

the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess after

pausing on this point a considerable while she once more continued to

read but alas the story which followed of his designs on miss

darcy received some confirmation from what had passed between colonel

fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before and at last she was

referred for the truth of every particular to colonel fitzwilliam

himselffrom whom she had previously received the information of his

near concern in all his cousins affairs and whose character she had no

reason to question at one time she had almost resolved on applying to

him but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application and

at length wholly banished by the conviction that mr darcy would never

have hazarded such a proposal if he had not been well assured of his

cousins corroboration

she perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation

between wickham and herself in their first evening at mr phillipss

many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory she was now

struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger and

wondered it had escaped her before she saw the indelicacy of putting

himself forward as he had done and the inconsistency of his professions

with his conduct she remembered that he had boasted of having no fear

of seeing mr darcythat mr darcy might leave the country but that

he should stand his ground yet he had avoided the netherfield ball

the very next week she remembered also that till the netherfield

family had quitted the country he had told his story to no one but

herself but that after their removal it had been everywhere discussed

that he had then no reserves no scruples in sinking mr darcys

character though he had assured her that respect for the father would

always prevent his exposing the son

how differently did everything now appear in which he was concerned

his attentions to miss king were now the consequence of views solely and

hatefully mercenary and the mediocrity of her fortune proved no longer

the moderation of his wishes but his eagerness to grasp at anything

his behaviour to herself could now have had no tolerable motive he had

either been deceived with regard to her fortune or had been gratifying

his vanity by encouraging the preference which she believed she had most

incautiously shown every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter

and fainter and in farther justification of mr darcy she could not

but allow that mr bingley when questioned by jane had long ago

asserted his blamelessness in the affair that proud and repulsive as

were his manners she had never in the whole course of their

acquaintancean acquaintance which had latterly brought them much

together and given her a sort of intimacy with his waysseen anything

that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjustanything that spoke him

of irreligious or immoral habits that among his own connections he was

esteemed and valuedthat even wickham had allowed him merit as a

brother and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his

sister as to prove him capable of some amiable feeling that had his

actions been what mr wickham represented them so gross a violation of

everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world and

that friendship between a person capable of it and such an amiable man

as mr bingley was incomprehensible

she grew absolutely ashamed of herself of neither darcy nor wickham

could she think without feeling she had been blind partial prejudiced

absurd

how despicably i have acted she cried i who have prided myself

on my discernment i who have valued myself on my abilities who have

often disdained the generous candour of my sister and gratified

my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust how humiliating is this

discovery yet how just a humiliation had i been in love i could

not have been more wretchedly blind but vanity not love has been my

folly pleased with the preference of one and offended by the neglect

of the other on the very beginning of our acquaintance i have courted

prepossession and ignorance and driven reason away where either were

concerned till this moment i never knew myself

from herself to janefrom jane to bingley her thoughts were in a line

which soon brought to her recollection that mr darcys explanation

there had appeared very insufficient and she read it again widely

different was the effect of a second perusal how could she deny that

credit to his assertions in one instance which she had been obliged to

give in the other he declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her

sisters attachment and she could not help remembering what charlottes

opinion had always been neither could she deny the justice of his

description of jane she felt that janes feelings though fervent were

little displayed and that there was a constant complacency in her air

and manner not often united with great sensibility

when she came to that part of the letter in which her family were

mentioned in terms of such mortifying yet merited reproach her sense

of shame was severe the justice of the charge struck her too forcibly

for denial and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as

having passed at the netherfield ball and as confirming all his first

disapprobation could not have made a stronger impression on his mind

than on hers

the compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt it soothed

but it could not console her for the contempt which had thus been

selfattracted by the rest of her family and as she considered

that janes disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest

relations and reflected how materially the credit of both must be hurt

by such impropriety of conduct she felt depressed beyond anything she

had ever known before

after wandering along the lane for two hours giving way to every

variety of thoughtreconsidering events determining probabilities

and reconciling herself as well as she could to a change so sudden and

so important fatigue and a recollection of her long absence made

her at length return home and she entered the house with the wish

of appearing cheerful as usual and the resolution of repressing such

reflections as must make her unfit for conversation

she was immediately told that the two gentlemen from rosings had each

called during her absence mr darcy only for a few minutes to take

leavebut that colonel fitzwilliam had been sitting with them at least

an hour hoping for her return and almost resolving to walk after her

till she could be found elizabeth could but just affect concern

in missing him she really rejoiced at it colonel fitzwilliam was no

longer an object she could think only of her letter

chapter 37

the two gentlemen left rosings the next morning and mr collins having

been in waiting near the lodges to make them his parting obeisance was

able to bring home the pleasing intelligence of their appearing in very

good health and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected after the

melancholy scene so lately gone through at rosings to rosings he then

hastened to console lady catherine and her daughter and on his return

brought back with great satisfaction a message from her ladyship

importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of

having them all to dine with her

elizabeth could not see lady catherine without recollecting that had

she chosen it she might by this time have been presented to her as

her future niece nor could she think without a smile of what her

ladyships indignation would have been what would she have said how

would she have behaved were questions with which she amused herself

their first subject was the diminution of the rosings party i assure

you i feel it exceedingly said lady catherine i believe no one

feels the loss of friends so much as i do but i am particularly

attached to these young men and know them to be so much attached to

me they were excessively sorry to go but so they always are the

dear colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last but darcy

seemed to feel it most acutely more i think than last year his

attachment to rosings certainly increases

mr collins had a compliment and an allusion to throw in here which

were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter

lady catherine observed after dinner that miss bennet seemed out of

spirits and immediately accounting for it by herself by supposing that

she did not like to go home again so soon she added

but if that is the case you must write to your mother and beg that

you may stay a little longer mrs collins will be very glad of your

company i am sure

i am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation replied

elizabeth but it is not in my power to accept it i must be in town

next saturday

why at that rate you will have been here only six weeks i expected

you to stay two months i told mrs collins so before you came there

can be no occasion for your going so soon mrs bennet could certainly

spare you for another fortnight

but my father cannot he wrote last week to hurry my return

oh your father of course may spare you if your mother can daughters

are never of so much consequence to a father and if you will stay

another month complete it will be in my power to take one of you as

far as london for i am going there early in june for a week and as

dawson does not object to the barouchebox there will be very good room

for one of youand indeed if the weather should happen to be cool i

should not object to taking you both as you are neither of you large

you are all kindness madam but i believe we must abide by our

original plan

lady catherine seemed resigned mrs collins you must send a servant

with them you know i always speak my mind and i cannot bear the idea

of two young women travelling post by themselves it is highly improper

you must contrive to send somebody i have the greatest dislike in

the world to that sort of thing young women should always be properly

guarded and attended according to their situation in life when my

niece georgiana went to ramsgate last summer i made a point of her

having two menservants go with her miss darcy the daughter of

mr darcy of pemberley and lady anne could not have appeared with

propriety in a different manner i am excessively attentive to all those

things you must send john with the young ladies mrs collins i

am glad it occurred to me to mention it for it would really be

discreditable to you to let them go alone

my uncle is to send a servant for us

oh your uncle he keeps a manservant does he i am very glad you

have somebody who thinks of these things where shall you change horses

oh bromley of course if you mention my name at the bell you will be

attended to

lady catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey

and as she did not answer them all herself attention was necessary

which elizabeth believed to be lucky for her or with a mind so

occupied she might have forgotten where she was reflection must be

reserved for solitary hours whenever she was alone she gave way to it

as the greatest relief and not a day went by without a solitary

walk in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant

recollections

mr darcys letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart she

studied every sentence and her feelings towards its writer were at

times widely different when she remembered the style of his address

she was still full of indignation but when she considered how unjustly

she had condemned and upbraided him her anger was turned against

herself and his disappointed feelings became the object of compassion

his attachment excited gratitude his general character respect but she

could not approve him nor could she for a moment repent her refusal

or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again in her own past

behaviour there was a constant source of vexation and regret and in

the unhappy defects of her family a subject of yet heavier chagrin

they were hopeless of remedy her father contented with laughing at

them would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his

youngest daughters and her mother with manners so far from right

herself was entirely insensible of the evil elizabeth had frequently

united with jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of catherine

and lydia but while they were supported by their mothers indulgence

what chance could there be of improvement catherine weakspirited

irritable and completely under lydias guidance had been always

affronted by their advice and lydia selfwilled and careless would

scarcely give them a hearing they were ignorant idle and vain while

there was an officer in meryton they would flirt with him and while

meryton was within a walk of longbourn they would be going there

forever

anxiety on janes behalf was another prevailing concern and mr darcys

explanation by restoring bingley to all her former good opinion

heightened the sense of what jane had lost his affection was proved

to have been sincere and his conduct cleared of all blame unless any

could attach to the implicitness of his confidence in his friend how

grievous then was the thought that of a situation so desirable in every

respect so replete with advantage so promising for happiness jane had

been deprived by the folly and indecorum of her own family

when to these recollections was added the development of wickhams

character it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had

seldom been depressed before were now so much affected as to make it

almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful

their engagements at rosings were as frequent during the last week of

her stay as they had been at first the very last evening was spent

there and her ladyship again inquired minutely into the particulars of

their journey gave them directions as to the best method of packing

and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right

way that maria thought herself obliged on her return to undo all the

work of the morning and pack her trunk afresh

when they parted lady catherine with great condescension wished them

a good journey and invited them to come to hunsford again next year

and miss de bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her

hand to both

chapter 38

on saturday morning elizabeth and mr collins met for breakfast a few

minutes before the others appeared and he took the opportunity of

paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably necessary

i know not miss elizabeth said he whether mrs collins has yet

expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us but i am very

certain you will not leave the house without receiving her thanks for

it the favour of your company has been much felt i assure you we

know how little there is to tempt anyone to our humble abode our plain

manner of living our small rooms and few domestics and the little we

see of the world must make hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like

yourself but i hope you will believe us grateful for the condescension

and that we have done everything in our power to prevent your spending

your time unpleasantly

elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness she

had spent six weeks with great enjoyment and the pleasure of being with

charlotte and the kind attentions she had received must make her

feel the obliged mr collins was gratified and with a more smiling

solemnity replied

it gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not

disagreeably we have certainly done our best and most fortunately

having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society and

from our connection with rosings the frequent means of varying the

humble home scene i think we may flatter ourselves that your hunsford

visit cannot have been entirely irksome our situation with regard to

lady catherines family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage

and blessing which few can boast you see on what a footing we are you

see how continually we are engaged there in truth i must acknowledge

that with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage i should

not think anyone abiding in it an object of compassion while they are

sharers of our intimacy at rosings

words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings and he was

obliged to walk about the room while elizabeth tried to unite civility

and truth in a few short sentences

you may in fact carry a very favourable report of us into

hertfordshire my dear cousin i flatter myself at least that you will

be able to do so lady catherines great attentions to mrs collins you

have been a daily witness of and altogether i trust it does not appear

that your friend has drawn an unfortunatebut on this point it will be

as well to be silent only let me assure you my dear miss elizabeth

that i can from my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in

marriage my dear charlotte and i have but one mind and one way of

thinking there is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of

character and ideas between us we seem to have been designed for each

other

elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was

the case and with equal sincerity could add that she firmly believed

and rejoiced in his domestic comforts she was not sorry however to

have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang

poor charlotte it was melancholy to leave her to such society but she

had chosen it with her eyes open and though evidently regretting that

her visitors were to go she did not seem to ask for compassion her

home and her housekeeping her parish and her poultry and all their

dependent concerns had not yet lost their charms

at length the chaise arrived the trunks were fastened on the parcels

placed within and it was pronounced to be ready after an affectionate

parting between the friends elizabeth was attended to the carriage by

mr collins and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her

with his best respects to all her family not forgetting his thanks

for the kindness he had received at longbourn in the winter and his

compliments to mr and mrs gardiner though unknown he then handed her

in maria followed and the door was on the point of being closed

when he suddenly reminded them with some consternation that they had

hitherto forgotten to leave any message for the ladies at rosings

but he added you will of course wish to have your humble respects

delivered to them with your grateful thanks for their kindness to you

while you have been here

elizabeth made no objection the door was then allowed to be shut and

the carriage drove off

good gracious cried maria after a few minutes silence it seems

but a day or two since we first came and yet how many things have

happened

a great many indeed said her companion with a sigh

we have dined nine times at rosings besides drinking tea there twice

how much i shall have to tell

elizabeth added privately and how much i shall have to conceal

their journey was performed without much conversation or any alarm and

within four hours of their leaving hunsford they reached mr gardiners

house where they were to remain a few days

jane looked well and elizabeth had little opportunity of studying her

spirits amidst the various engagements which the kindness of her

aunt had reserved for them but jane was to go home with her and at

longbourn there would be leisure enough for observation

it was not without an effort meanwhile that she could wait even for

longbourn before she told her sister of mr darcys proposals to know

that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish

jane and must at the same time so highly gratify whatever of her own

vanity she had not yet been able to reason away was such a temptation

to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision

in which she remained as to the extent of what she should communicate

and her fear if she once entered on the subject of being hurried

into repeating something of bingley which might only grieve her sister

further

chapter 39

it was the second week in may in which the three young ladies set out

together from gracechurch street for the town of  in hertfordshire

and as they drew near the appointed inn where mr bennets carriage

was to meet them they quickly perceived in token of the coachmans

punctuality both kitty and lydia looking out of a diningroom up stairs

these two girls had been above an hour in the place happily employed

in visiting an opposite milliner watching the sentinel on guard and

dressing a salad and cucumber

after welcoming their sisters they triumphantly displayed a table set

out with such cold meat as an inn larder usually affords exclaiming

is not this nice is not this an agreeable surprise

and we mean to treat you all added lydia but you must lend us the

money for we have just spent ours at the shop out there then showing

her purchaseslook here i have bought this bonnet i do not think

it is very pretty but i thought i might as well buy it as not i shall

pull it to pieces as soon as i get home and see if i can make it up any

better

and when her sisters abused it as ugly she added with perfect

unconcern oh but there were two or three much uglier in the shop and

when i have bought some prettiercoloured satin to trim it with fresh i

think it will be very tolerable besides it will not much signify what

one wears this summer after the shire have left meryton and they

are going in a fortnight

are they indeed cried elizabeth with the greatest satisfaction

they are going to be encamped near brighton and i do so want papa to

take us all there for the summer it would be such a delicious scheme

and i dare say would hardly cost anything at all mamma would like to

go too of all things only think what a miserable summer else we shall

have

yes thought elizabeth that would be a delightful scheme indeed

and completely do for us at once good heaven brighton and a whole

campful of soldiers to us who have been overset already by one poor

regiment of militia and the monthly balls of meryton

now i have got some news for you said lydia as they sat down at

table what do you think it is excellent newscapital newsand about

a certain person we all like

jane and elizabeth looked at each other and the waiter was told he need

not stay lydia laughed and said

aye that is just like your formality and discretion you thought the

waiter must not hear as if he cared i dare say he often hears worse

things said than i am going to say but he is an ugly fellow i am glad

he is gone i never saw such a long chin in my life well but now for

my news it is about dear wickham too good for the waiter is it not

there is no danger of wickhams marrying mary king theres for you she

is gone down to her uncle at liverpool gone to stay wickham is safe

and mary king is safe added elizabeth safe from a connection

imprudent as to fortune

she is a great fool for going away if she liked him

but i hope there is no strong attachment on either side said jane

i am sure there is not on his i will answer for it he never cared

three straws about herwho could about such a nasty little freckled

thing

elizabeth was shocked to think that however incapable of such

coarseness of expression herself the coarseness of the sentiment

was little other than her own breast had harboured and fancied liberal

as soon as all had ate and the elder ones paid the carriage was

ordered and after some contrivance the whole party with all their

boxes workbags and parcels and the unwelcome addition of kittys and

lydias purchases were seated in it

how nicely we are all crammed in cried lydia i am glad i bought my

bonnet if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox well now

let us be quite comfortable and snug and talk and laugh all the way

home and in the first place let us hear what has happened to you all

since you went away have you seen any pleasant men have you had any

flirting i was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband

before you came back jane will be quite an old maid soon i declare

she is almost threeandtwenty lord how ashamed i should be of not

being married before threeandtwenty my aunt phillips wants you so to

get husbands you cant think she says lizzy had better have taken mr

collins but i do not think there would have been any fun in it lord

how i should like to be married before any of you and then i would

chaperon you about to all the balls dear me we had such a good piece

of fun the other day at colonel forsters kitty and me were to spend

the day there and mrs forster promised to have a little dance in the

evening by the bye mrs forster and me are such friends and so

she asked the two harringtons to come but harriet was ill and so pen

was forced to come by herself and then what do you think we did we

dressed up chamberlayne in womans clothes on purpose to pass for a

lady only think what fun not a soul knew of it but colonel and mrs

forster and kitty and me except my aunt for we were forced to borrow

one of her gowns and you cannot imagine how well he looked when denny

and wickham and pratt and two or three more of the men came in they

did not know him in the least lord how i laughed and so did mrs

forster i thought i should have died and that made the men suspect

something and then they soon found out what was the matter

with such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes did

lydia assisted by kittys hints and additions endeavour to amuse her

companions all the way to longbourn elizabeth listened as little as she

could but there was no escaping the frequent mention of wickhams name

their reception at home was most kind mrs bennet rejoiced to see jane

in undiminished beauty and more than once during dinner did mr bennet

say voluntarily to elizabeth

i am glad you are come back lizzy

their party in the diningroom was large for almost all the lucases

came to meet maria and hear the news and various were the subjects that

occupied them lady lucas was inquiring of maria after the welfare and

poultry of her eldest daughter mrs bennet was doubly engaged on one

hand collecting an account of the present fashions from jane who sat

some way below her and on the other retailing them all to the younger

lucases and lydia in a voice rather louder than any other persons

was enumerating the various pleasures of the morning to anybody who

would hear her

oh mary said she i wish you had gone with us for we had such fun

as we went along kitty and i drew up the blinds and pretended there

was nobody in the coach and i should have gone so all the way if kitty

had not been sick and when we got to the george i do think we behaved

very handsomely for we treated the other three with the nicest cold

luncheon in the world and if you would have gone we would have treated

you too and then when we came away it was such fun i thought we never

should have got into the coach i was ready to die of laughter and then

we were so merry all the way home we talked and laughed so loud that

anybody might have heard us ten miles off

to this mary very gravely replied far be it from me my dear sister

to depreciate such pleasures they would doubtless be congenial with the

generality of female minds but i confess they would have no charms for

mei should infinitely prefer a book

but of this answer lydia heard not a word she seldom listened to

anybody for more than half a minute and never attended to mary at all

in the afternoon lydia was urgent with the rest of the girls to walk

to meryton and to see how everybody went on but elizabeth steadily

opposed the scheme it should not be said that the miss bennets could

not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers

there was another reason too for her opposition she dreaded seeing mr

wickham again and was resolved to avoid it as long as possible the

comfort to her of the regiments approaching removal was indeed beyond

expression in a fortnight they were to goand once gone she hoped

there could be nothing more to plague her on his account

she had not been many hours at home before she found that the brighton

scheme of which lydia had given them a hint at the inn was under

frequent discussion between her parents elizabeth saw directly that her

father had not the smallest intention of yielding but his answers were

at the same time so vague and equivocal that her mother though often

disheartened had never yet despaired of succeeding at last

chapter 40

elizabeths impatience to acquaint jane with what had happened could

no longer be overcome and at length resolving to suppress every

particular in which her sister was concerned and preparing her to be

surprised she related to her the next morning the chief of the scene

between mr darcy and herself

miss bennets astonishment was soon lessened by the strong sisterly

partiality which made any admiration of elizabeth appear perfectly

natural and all surprise was shortly lost in other feelings she was

sorry that mr darcy should have delivered his sentiments in a manner so

little suited to recommend them but still more was she grieved for the

unhappiness which her sisters refusal must have given him

his being so sure of succeeding was wrong said she and certainly

ought not to have appeared but consider how much it must increase his

disappointment

indeed replied elizabeth i am heartily sorry for him but he has

other feelings which will probably soon drive away his regard for me

you do not blame me however for refusing him

blame you oh no

but you blame me for having spoken so warmly of wickham

noi do not know that you were wrong in saying what you did

but you will know it when i tell you what happened the very next

day

she then spoke of the letter repeating the whole of its contents as far

as they concerned george wickham what a stroke was this for poor jane

who would willingly have gone through the world without believing that

so much wickedness existed in the whole race of mankind as was here

collected in one individual nor was darcys vindication though

grateful to her feelings capable of consoling her for such discovery

most earnestly did she labour to prove the probability of error and

seek to clear the one without involving the other

this will not do said elizabeth you never will be able to make both

of them good for anything take your choice but you must be satisfied

with only one there is but such a quantity of merit between them just

enough to make one good sort of man and of late it has been shifting

about pretty much for my part i am inclined to believe it all darcys

but you shall do as you choose

it was some time however before a smile could be extorted from jane

i do not know when i have been more shocked said she wickham so

very bad it is almost past belief and poor mr darcy dear lizzy only

consider what he must have suffered such a disappointment and with the

knowledge of your ill opinion too and having to relate such a thing

of his sister it is really too distressing i am sure you must feel it

so

oh no my regret and compassion are all done away by seeing you so

full of both i know you will do him such ample justice that i am

growing every moment more unconcerned and indifferent your profusion

makes me saving and if you lament over him much longer my heart will

be as light as a feather

poor wickham there is such an expression of goodness in his

countenance such an openness and gentleness in his manner

there certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those

two young men one has got all the goodness and the other all the

appearance of it

i never thought mr darcy so deficient in the appearance of it as you

used to do

and yet i meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike

to him without any reason it is such a spur to ones genius such an

opening for wit to have a dislike of that kind one may be continually

abusive without saying anything just but one cannot always be laughing

at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty

lizzy when you first read that letter i am sure you could not treat

the matter as you do now

indeed i could not i was uncomfortable enough i may say unhappy and

with no one to speak to about what i felt no jane to comfort me and say

that i had not been so very weak and vain and nonsensical as i knew i

had oh how i wanted you

how unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions

in speaking of wickham to mr darcy for now they do appear wholly

undeserved

certainly but the misfortune of speaking with bitterness is a most

natural consequence of the prejudices i had been encouraging there

is one point on which i want your advice i want to be told whether i

ought or ought not to make our acquaintances in general understand

wickhams character

miss bennet paused a little and then replied surely there can be no

occasion for exposing him so dreadfully what is your opinion

that it ought not to be attempted mr darcy has not authorised me

to make his communication public on the contrary every particular

relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to

myself and if i endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his

conduct who will believe me the general prejudice against mr darcy

is so violent that it would be the death of half the good people in

meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light i am not equal

to it wickham will soon be gone and therefore it will not signify to

anyone here what he really is some time hence it will be all found out

and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before at

present i will say nothing about it

you are quite right to have his errors made public might ruin him for

ever he is now perhaps sorry for what he has done and anxious to

reestablish a character we must not make him desperate

the tumult of elizabeths mind was allayed by this conversation she had

got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fortnight

and was certain of a willing listener in jane whenever she might wish

to talk again of either but there was still something lurking behind

of which prudence forbade the disclosure she dared not relate the other

half of mr darcys letter nor explain to her sister how sincerely she

had been valued by her friend here was knowledge in which no one

could partake and she was sensible that nothing less than a perfect

understanding between the parties could justify her in throwing off

this last encumbrance of mystery and then said she if that very

improbable event should ever take place i shall merely be able to

tell what bingley may tell in a much more agreeable manner himself the

liberty of communication cannot be mine till it has lost all its value

she was now on being settled at home at leisure to observe the real

state of her sisters spirits jane was not happy she still cherished a

very tender affection for bingley having never even fancied herself

in love before her regard had all the warmth of first attachment

and from her age and disposition greater steadiness than most first

attachments often boast and so fervently did she value his remembrance

and prefer him to every other man that all her good sense and all her

attention to the feelings of her friends were requisite to check the

indulgence of those regrets which must have been injurious to her own

health and their tranquillity

well lizzy said mrs bennet one day what is your opinion now of

this sad business of janes for my part i am determined never to speak

of it again to anybody i told my sister phillips so the other day but

i cannot find out that jane saw anything of him in london well he is

a very undeserving young manand i do not suppose theres the least

chance in the world of her ever getting him now there is no talk of

his coming to netherfield again in the summer and i have inquired of

everybody too who is likely to know

i do not believe he will ever live at netherfield any more

oh well it is just as he chooses nobody wants him to come though i

shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill and if i was her i

would not have put up with it well my comfort is i am sure jane will

die of a broken heart and then he will be sorry for what he has done

but as elizabeth could not receive comfort from any such expectation

she made no answer

well lizzy continued her mother soon afterwards and so the

collinses live very comfortable do they well well i only hope

it will last and what sort of table do they keep charlotte is an

excellent manager i dare say if she is half as sharp as her

mother she is saving enough there is nothing extravagant in their

housekeeping i dare say

no nothing at all

a great deal of good management depend upon it yes yes they will

take care not to outrun their income they will never be distressed

for money well much good may it do them and so i suppose they often

talk of having longbourn when your father is dead they look upon it as

quite their own i dare say whenever that happens

it was a subject which they could not mention before me

no it would have been strange if they had but i make no doubt they

often talk of it between themselves well if they can be easy with an

estate that is not lawfully their own so much the better i should be

ashamed of having one that was only entailed on me

chapter 41

the first week of their return was soon gone the second began it was

the last of the regiments stay in meryton and all the young ladies

in the neighbourhood were drooping apace the dejection was almost

universal the elder miss bennets alone were still able to eat drink

and sleep and pursue the usual course of their employments very

frequently were they reproached for this insensibility by kitty and

lydia whose own misery was extreme and who could not comprehend such

hardheartedness in any of the family

good heaven what is to become of us what are we to do would they

often exclaim in the bitterness of woe how can you be smiling so

lizzy

their affectionate mother shared all their grief she remembered what

she had herself endured on a similar occasion fiveandtwenty years

ago

i am sure said she i cried for two days together when colonel

millers regiment went away i thought i should have broken my heart

i am sure i shall break mine said lydia

if one could but go to brighton observed mrs bennet

oh yesif one could but go to brighton but papa is so

disagreeable

a little seabathing would set me up forever

and my aunt phillips is sure it would do me a great deal of good

added kitty

such were the kind of lamentations resounding perpetually through

longbourn house elizabeth tried to be diverted by them but all sense

of pleasure was lost in shame she felt anew the justice of mr darcys

objections and never had she been so much disposed to pardon his

interference in the views of his friend

but the gloom of lydias prospect was shortly cleared away for she

received an invitation from mrs forster the wife of the colonel of

the regiment to accompany her to brighton this invaluable friend was a

very young woman and very lately married a resemblance in good humour

and good spirits had recommended her and lydia to each other and out of

their three months acquaintance they had been intimate two

the rapture of lydia on this occasion her adoration of mrs forster

the delight of mrs bennet and the mortification of kitty are scarcely

to be described wholly inattentive to her sisters feelings lydia

flew about the house in restless ecstasy calling for everyones

congratulations and laughing and talking with more violence than ever

whilst the luckless kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate

in terms as unreasonable as her accent was peevish

i cannot see why mrs forster should not ask me as well as lydia

said she though i am not her particular friend i have just as much

right to be asked as she has and more too for i am two years older

in vain did elizabeth attempt to make her reasonable and jane to make

her resigned as for elizabeth herself this invitation was so far from

exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and lydia that she

considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense

for the latter and detestable as such a step must make her were it

known she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her

go she represented to him all the improprieties of lydias general

behaviour the little advantage she could derive from the friendship of

such a woman as mrs forster and the probability of her being yet more

imprudent with such a companion at brighton where the temptations must

be greater than at home he heard her attentively and then said

lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public

place or other and we can never expect her to do it with so

little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present

circumstances

if you were aware said elizabeth of the very great disadvantage to

us all which must arise from the public notice of lydias unguarded and

imprudent mannernay which has already arisen from it i am sure you

would judge differently in the affair

already arisen repeated mr bennet what has she frightened away

some of your lovers poor little lizzy but do not be cast down such

squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity

are not worth a regret come let me see the list of pitiful fellows who

have been kept aloof by lydias folly

indeed you are mistaken i have no such injuries to resent it is not

of particular but of general evils which i am now complaining our

importance our respectability in the world must be affected by the

wild volatility the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark

lydias character excuse me for i must speak plainly if you my dear

father will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits and

of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of

her life she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment her character

will be fixed and she will at sixteen be the most determined flirt

that ever made herself or her family ridiculous a flirt too in the

worst and meanest degree of flirtation without any attraction beyond

youth and a tolerable person and from the ignorance and emptiness

of her mind wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal

contempt which her rage for admiration will excite in this danger

kitty also is comprehended she will follow wherever lydia leads vain

ignorant idle and absolutely uncontrolled oh my dear father can you

suppose it possible that they will not be censured and despised wherever

they are known and that their sisters will not be often involved in the

disgrace

mr bennet saw that her whole heart was in the subject and

affectionately taking her hand said in reply

do not make yourself uneasy my love wherever you and jane are known

you must be respected and valued and you will not appear to less

advantage for having a couple ofor i may say threevery silly

sisters we shall have no peace at longbourn if lydia does not go to

brighton let her go then colonel forster is a sensible man and will

keep her out of any real mischief and she is luckily too poor to be an

object of prey to anybody at brighton she will be of less importance

even as a common flirt than she has been here the officers will find

women better worth their notice let us hope therefore that her being

there may teach her her own insignificance at any rate she cannot grow

many degrees worse without authorising us to lock her up for the rest

of her life

with this answer elizabeth was forced to be content but her own opinion

continued the same and she left him disappointed and sorry it was not

in her nature however to increase her vexations by dwelling on

them she was confident of having performed her duty and to fret

over unavoidable evils or augment them by anxiety was no part of her

disposition

had lydia and her mother known the substance of her conference with her

father their indignation would hardly have found expression in their

united volubility in lydias imagination a visit to brighton comprised

every possibility of earthly happiness she saw with the creative eye

of fancy the streets of that gay bathingplace covered with officers

she saw herself the object of attention to tens and to scores of them

at present unknown she saw all the glories of the campits tents

stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines crowded with the young

and the gay and dazzling with scarlet and to complete the view she

saw herself seated beneath a tent tenderly flirting with at least six

officers at once

had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such

realities as these what would have been her sensations they could have

been understood only by her mother who might have felt nearly the same

lydias going to brighton was all that consoled her for her melancholy

conviction of her husbands never intending to go there himself

but they were entirely ignorant of what had passed and their raptures

continued with little intermission to the very day of lydias leaving

home

elizabeth was now to see mr wickham for the last time having been

frequently in company with him since her return agitation was pretty

well over the agitations of former partiality entirely so she had even

learnt to detect in the very gentleness which had first delighted

her an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary in his present

behaviour to herself moreover she had a fresh source of displeasure

for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which

had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve after

what had since passed to provoke her she lost all concern for him in

finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous

gallantry and while she steadily repressed it could not but feel the

reproof contained in his believing that however long and for whatever

cause his attentions had been withdrawn her vanity would be gratified

and her preference secured at any time by their renewal

on the very last day of the regiments remaining at meryton he dined

with other of the officers at longbourn and so little was elizabeth

disposed to part from him in good humour that on his making some

inquiry as to the manner in which her time had passed at hunsford she

mentioned colonel fitzwilliams and mr darcys having both spent three

weeks at rosings and asked him if he was acquainted with the former

he looked surprised displeased alarmed but with a moments

recollection and a returning smile replied that he had formerly seen

him often and after observing that he was a very gentlemanlike man

asked her how she had liked him her answer was warmly in his favour

with an air of indifference he soon afterwards added

how long did you say he was at rosings

nearly three weeks

and you saw him frequently

yes almost every day

his manners are very different from his cousins

yes very different but i think mr darcy improves upon acquaintance

indeed cried mr wickham with a look which did not escape her and

pray may i ask but checking himself he added in a gayer tone is

it in address that he improves has he deigned to add aught of civility

to his ordinary stylefor i dare not hope he continued in a lower

and more serious tone that he is improved in essentials

oh no said elizabeth in essentials i believe he is very much

what he ever was

while she spoke wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to

rejoice over her words or to distrust their meaning there was a

something in her countenance which made him listen with an apprehensive

and anxious attention while she added

when i said that he improved on acquaintance i did not mean that

his mind or his manners were in a state of improvement but that from

knowing him better his disposition was better understood

wickhams alarm now appeared in a heightened complexion and agitated

look for a few minutes he was silent till shaking off his

embarrassment he turned to her again and said in the gentlest of

accents

you who so well know my feeling towards mr darcy will readily

comprehend how sincerely i must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume

even the appearance of what is right his pride in that direction

may be of service if not to himself to many others for it must only

deter him from such foul misconduct as i have suffered by i only

fear that the sort of cautiousness to which you i imagine have been

alluding is merely adopted on his visits to his aunt of whose good

opinion and judgement he stands much in awe his fear of her has always

operated i know when they were together and a good deal is to be

imputed to his wish of forwarding the match with miss de bourgh which i

am certain he has very much at heart

elizabeth could not repress a smile at this but she answered only by a

slight inclination of the head she saw that he wanted to engage her on

the old subject of his grievances and she was in no humour to indulge

him the rest of the evening passed with the appearance on his

side of usual cheerfulness but with no further attempt to distinguish

elizabeth and they parted at last with mutual civility and possibly a

mutual desire of never meeting again

when the party broke up lydia returned with mrs forster to meryton

from whence they were to set out early the next morning the separation

between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic kitty was the

only one who shed tears but she did weep from vexation and envy mrs

bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter

and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the

opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possibleadvice which

there was every reason to believe would be well attended to and in

the clamorous happiness of lydia herself in bidding farewell the more

gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard

chapter 42

had elizabeths opinion been all drawn from her own family she could

not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic

comfort her father captivated by youth and beauty and that appearance

of good humour which youth and beauty generally give had married a

woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in

their marriage put an end to all real affection for her respect

esteem and confidence had vanished for ever and all his views

of domestic happiness were overthrown but mr bennet was not of

a disposition to seek comfort for the disappointment which his own

imprudence had brought on in any of those pleasures which too often

console the unfortunate for their folly or their vice he was fond of

the country and of books and from these tastes had arisen his principal

enjoyments to his wife he was very little otherwise indebted than as

her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement this is not

the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his

wife but where other powers of entertainment are wanting the true

philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given

elizabeth however had never been blind to the impropriety of her

fathers behaviour as a husband she had always seen it with pain but

respecting his abilities and grateful for his affectionate treatment of

herself she endeavoured to forget what she could not overlook and to

banish from her thoughts that continual breach of conjugal obligation

and decorum which in exposing his wife to the contempt of her own

children was so highly reprehensible but she had never felt so

strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so

unsuitable a marriage nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising

from so illjudged a direction of talents talents which rightly used

might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters even

if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife

when elizabeth had rejoiced over wickhams departure she found little

other cause for satisfaction in the loss of the regiment their parties

abroad were less varied than before and at home she had a mother and

sister whose constant repinings at the dullness of everything around

them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle and though kitty

might in time regain her natural degree of sense since the disturbers

of her brain were removed her other sister from whose disposition

greater evil might be apprehended was likely to be hardened in all

her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a

wateringplace and a camp upon the whole therefore she found what

has been sometimes found before that an event to which she had been

looking with impatient desire did not in taking place bring all the

satisfaction she had promised herself it was consequently necessary to

name some other period for the commencement of actual felicityto have

some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed and by

again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation console herself for the

present and prepare for another disappointment her tour to the lakes

was now the object of her happiest thoughts it was her best consolation

for all the uncomfortable hours which the discontentedness of her mother

and kitty made inevitable and could she have included jane in the

scheme every part of it would have been perfect

but it is fortunate thought she that i have something to wish for

were the whole arrangement complete my disappointment would be certain

but here by carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my

sisters absence i may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of

pleasure realised a scheme of which every part promises delight can

never be successful and general disappointment is only warded off by

the defence of some little peculiar vexation

when lydia went away she promised to write very often and very minutely

to her mother and kitty but her letters were always long expected and

always very short those to her mother contained little else than that

they were just returned from the library where such and such officers

had attended them and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as

made her quite wild that she had a new gown or a new parasol which

she would have described more fully but was obliged to leave off in a

violent hurry as mrs forster called her and they were going off to

the camp and from her correspondence with her sister there was still

less to be learntfor her letters to kitty though rather longer were

much too full of lines under the words to be made public

after the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence health good

humour and cheerfulness began to reappear at longbourn everything wore

a happier aspect the families who had been in town for the winter came

back again and summer finery and summer engagements arose mrs bennet

was restored to her usual querulous serenity and by the middle of

june kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter meryton without

tears an event of such happy promise as to make elizabeth hope that by

the following christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to

mention an officer above once a day unless by some cruel and malicious

arrangement at the war office another regiment should be quartered in

meryton

the time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast

approaching and a fortnight only was wanting of it when a letter

arrived from mrs gardiner which at once delayed its commencement and

curtailed its extent mr gardiner would be prevented by business from

setting out till a fortnight later in july and must be in london again

within a month and as that left too short a period for them to go so

far and see so much as they had proposed or at least to see it with

the leisure and comfort they had built on they were obliged to give up

the lakes and substitute a more contracted tour and according to the

present plan were to go no farther northwards than derbyshire in that

county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three

weeks and to mrs gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction the

town where she had formerly passed some years of her life and where

they were now to spend a few days was probably as great an object of

her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of matlock chatsworth

dovedale or the peak

elizabeth was excessively disappointed she had set her heart on seeing

the lakes and still thought there might have been time enough but it

was her business to be satisfiedand certainly her temper to be happy

and all was soon right again

with the mention of derbyshire there were many ideas connected it was

impossible for her to see the word without thinking of pemberley and its

owner but surely said she i may enter his county with impunity

and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me

the period of expectation was now doubled four weeks were to pass away

before her uncle and aunts arrival but they did pass away and mr

and mrs gardiner with their four children did at length appear at

longbourn the children two girls of six and eight years old and two

younger boys were to be left under the particular care of their

cousin jane who was the general favourite and whose steady sense and

sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every

wayteaching them playing with them and loving them

the gardiners stayed only one night at longbourn and set off the

next morning with elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement

one enjoyment was certainthat of suitableness of companions

a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear

inconveniencescheerfulness to enhance every pleasureand affection

and intelligence which might supply it among themselves if there were

disappointments abroad

it is not the object of this work to give a description of derbyshire

nor of any of the remarkable places through which their route thither

lay oxford blenheim warwick kenilworth birmingham etc are

sufficiently known a small part of derbyshire is all the present

concern to the little town of lambton the scene of mrs gardiners

former residence and where she had lately learned some acquaintance

still remained they bent their steps after having seen all the

principal wonders of the country and within five miles of lambton

elizabeth found from her aunt that pemberley was situated it was not

in their direct road nor more than a mile or two out of it in

talking over their route the evening before mrs gardiner expressed

an inclination to see the place again mr gardiner declared his

willingness and elizabeth was applied to for her approbation

my love should not you like to see a place of which you have heard

so much said her aunt a place too with which so many of your

acquaintances are connected wickham passed all his youth there you

know

elizabeth was distressed she felt that she had no business at

pemberley and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it she

must own that she was tired of seeing great houses after going over so

many she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains

mrs gardiner abused her stupidity if it were merely a fine house

richly furnished said she i should not care about it myself but

the grounds are delightful they have some of the finest woods in the

country

elizabeth said no morebut her mind could not acquiesce the

possibility of meeting mr darcy while viewing the place instantly

occurred it would be dreadful she blushed at the very idea and

thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such

a risk but against this there were objections and she finally resolved

that it could be the last resource if her private inquiries to the

absence of the family were unfavourably answered

accordingly when she retired at night she asked the chambermaid

whether pemberley were not a very fine place what was the name of its

proprietor and with no little alarm whether the family were down for

the summer a most welcome negative followed the last questionand her

alarms now being removed she was at leisure to feel a great deal of

curiosity to see the house herself and when the subject was revived the

next morning and she was again applied to could readily answer and

with a proper air of indifference that she had not really any dislike

to the scheme to pemberley therefore they were to go

chapter 43

elizabeth as they drove along watched for the first appearance of

pemberley woods with some perturbation and when at length they turned

in at the lodge her spirits were in a high flutter

the park was very large and contained great variety of ground they

entered it in one of its lowest points and drove for some time through

a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent

elizabeths mind was too full for conversation but she saw and admired

every remarkable spot and point of view they gradually ascended for

halfamile and then found themselves at the top of a considerable

eminence where the wood ceased and the eye was instantly caught by

pemberley house situated on the opposite side of a valley into which

the road with some abruptness wound it was a large handsome stone

building standing well on rising ground and backed by a ridge of

high woody hills and in front a stream of some natural importance was

swelled into greater but without any artificial appearance its banks

were neither formal nor falsely adorned elizabeth was delighted she

had never seen a place for which nature had done more or where natural

beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste they were

all of them warm in their admiration and at that moment she felt that

to be mistress of pemberley might be something

they descended the hill crossed the bridge and drove to the door and

while examining the nearer aspect of the house all her apprehension of

meeting its owner returned she dreaded lest the chambermaid had been

mistaken on applying to see the place they were admitted into the

hall and elizabeth as they waited for the housekeeper had leisure to

wonder at her being where she was

the housekeeper came a respectablelooking elderly woman much less

fine and more civil than she had any notion of finding her they

followed her into the diningparlour it was a large well proportioned

room handsomely fitted up elizabeth after slightly surveying it went

to a window to enjoy its prospect the hill crowned with wood which

they had descended receiving increased abruptness from the distance

was a beautiful object every disposition of the ground was good and

she looked on the whole scene the river the trees scattered on its

banks and the winding of the valley as far as she could trace it

with delight as they passed into other rooms these objects were taking

different positions but from every window there were beauties to be

seen the rooms were lofty and handsome and their furniture suitable to

the fortune of its proprietor but elizabeth saw with admiration of

his taste that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine with less of

splendour and more real elegance than the furniture of rosings

and of this place thought she i might have been mistress with

these rooms i might now have been familiarly acquainted instead of

viewing them as a stranger i might have rejoiced in them as my own and

welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt but norecollecting

herselfthat could never be my uncle and aunt would have been lost to

me i should not have been allowed to invite them

this was a lucky recollectionit saved her from something very like

regret

she longed to inquire of the housekeeper whether her master was really

absent but had not the courage for it at length however the question

was asked by her uncle and she turned away with alarm while mrs

reynolds replied that he was adding but we expect him tomorrow with

a large party of friends how rejoiced was elizabeth that their own

journey had not by any circumstance been delayed a day

her aunt now called her to look at a picture she approached and saw the

likeness of mr wickham suspended amongst several other miniatures

over the mantelpiece her aunt asked her smilingly how she liked it

the housekeeper came forward and told them it was a picture of a young

gentleman the son of her late masters steward who had been brought

up by him at his own expense he is now gone into the army she added

but i am afraid he has turned out very wild

mrs gardiner looked at her niece with a smile but elizabeth could not

return it

and that said mrs reynolds pointing to another of the miniatures

is my masterand very like him it was drawn at the same time as the

otherabout eight years ago

i have heard much of your masters fine person said mrs gardiner

looking at the picture it is a handsome face but lizzy you can tell

us whether it is like or not

mrs reynolds respect for elizabeth seemed to increase on this

intimation of her knowing her master

does that young lady know mr darcy

elizabeth coloured and said a little

and do not you think him a very handsome gentleman maam

yes very handsome

i am sure i know none so handsome but in the gallery up stairs you

will see a finer larger picture of him than this this room was my late

masters favourite room and these miniatures are just as they used to

be then he was very fond of them

this accounted to elizabeth for mr wickhams being among them

mrs reynolds then directed their attention to one of miss darcy drawn

when she was only eight years old

and is miss darcy as handsome as her brother said mrs gardiner

oh yesthe handsomest young lady that ever was seen and so

accomplishedshe plays and sings all day long in the next room is

a new instrument just come down for hera present from my master she

comes here tomorrow with him

mr gardiner whose manners were very easy and pleasant encouraged her

communicativeness by his questions and remarks mrs reynolds either

by pride or attachment had evidently great pleasure in talking of her

master and his sister

is your master much at pemberley in the course of the year

not so much as i could wish sir but i dare say he may spend half his

time here and miss darcy is always down for the summer months

except thought elizabeth when she goes to ramsgate

if your master would marry you might see more of him

yes sir but i do not know when that will be i do not know who is

good enough for him

mr and mrs gardiner smiled elizabeth could not help saying it is

very much to his credit i am sure that you should think so

i say no more than the truth and everybody will say that knows him

replied the other elizabeth thought this was going pretty far and she

listened with increasing astonishment as the housekeeper added i have

never known a cross word from him in my life and i have known him ever

since he was four years old

this was praise of all others most extraordinary most opposite to her

ideas that he was not a goodtempered man had been her firmest opinion

her keenest attention was awakened she longed to hear more and was

grateful to her uncle for saying

there are very few people of whom so much can be said you are lucky in

having such a master

yes sir i know i am if i were to go through the world i could

not meet with a better but i have always observed that they who are

goodnatured when children are goodnatured when they grow up and

he was always the sweetesttempered most generoushearted boy in the

world

elizabeth almost stared at her can this be mr darcy thought she

his father was an excellent man said mrs gardiner

yes maam that he was indeed and his son will be just like himjust

as affable to the poor

elizabeth listened wondered doubted and was impatient for more mrs

reynolds could interest her on no other point she related the subjects

of the pictures the dimensions of the rooms and the price of the

furniture in vain mr gardiner highly amused by the kind of family

prejudice to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her

master soon led again to the subject and she dwelt with energy on his

many merits as they proceeded together up the great staircase

he is the best landlord and the best master said she that ever

lived not like the wild young men nowadays who think of nothing but

themselves there is not one of his tenants or servants but will give

him a good name some people call him proud but i am sure i never saw

anything of it to my fancy it is only because he does not rattle away

like other young men

in what an amiable light does this place him thought elizabeth

this fine account of him whispered her aunt as they walked is not

quite consistent with his behaviour to our poor friend

perhaps we might be deceived

that is not very likely our authority was too good

on reaching the spacious lobby above they were shown into a very pretty

sittingroom lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than

the apartments below and were informed that it was but just done to

give pleasure to miss darcy who had taken a liking to the room when

last at pemberley

he is certainly a good brother said elizabeth as she walked towards

one of the windows

mrs reynolds anticipated miss darcys delight when she should enter

the room and this is always the way with him she added whatever

can give his sister any pleasure is sure to be done in a moment there

is nothing he would not do for her

the picturegallery and two or three of the principal bedrooms were

all that remained to be shown in the former were many good paintings

but elizabeth knew nothing of the art and from such as had been already

visible below she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of miss

darcys in crayons whose subjects were usually more interesting and

also more intelligible

in the gallery there were many family portraits but they could have

little to fix the attention of a stranger elizabeth walked in quest of

the only face whose features would be known to her at last it arrested

herand she beheld a striking resemblance to mr darcy with such a

smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he

looked at her she stood several minutes before the picture in earnest

contemplation and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery

mrs reynolds informed them that it had been taken in his fathers

lifetime

there was certainly at this moment in elizabeths mind a more gentle

sensation towards the original than she had ever felt at the height of

their acquaintance the commendation bestowed on him by mrs reynolds

was of no trifling nature what praise is more valuable than the praise

of an intelligent servant as a brother a landlord a master she

considered how many peoples happiness were in his guardianshiphow

much of pleasure or pain was it in his power to bestowhow much of

good or evil must be done by him every idea that had been brought

forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character and as she

stood before the canvas on which he was represented and fixed his

eyes upon herself she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of

gratitude than it had ever raised before she remembered its warmth and

softened its impropriety of expression

when all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen

they returned downstairs and taking leave of the housekeeper were

consigned over to the gardener who met them at the halldoor

as they walked across the hall towards the river elizabeth turned back

to look again her uncle and aunt stopped also and while the former

was conjecturing as to the date of the building the owner of it himself

suddenly came forward from the road which led behind it to the stables

they were within twenty yards of each other and so abrupt was his

appearance that it was impossible to avoid his sight their eyes

instantly met and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest

blush he absolutely started and for a moment seemed immovable from

surprise but shortly recovering himself advanced towards the party

and spoke to elizabeth if not in terms of perfect composure at least

of perfect civility

she had instinctively turned away but stopping on his approach

received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be

overcome had his first appearance or his resemblance to the picture

they had just been examining been insufficient to assure the other two

that they now saw mr darcy the gardeners expression of surprise on

beholding his master must immediately have told it they stood a little

aloof while he was talking to their niece who astonished and confused

scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face and knew not what answer

she returned to his civil inquiries after her family amazed at the

alteration of his manner since they last parted every sentence that

he uttered was increasing her embarrassment and every idea of the

impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind the few

minutes in which they continued were some of the most uncomfortable in

her life nor did he seem much more at ease when he spoke his accent

had none of its usual sedateness and he repeated his inquiries as

to the time of her having left longbourn and of her having stayed in

derbyshire so often and in so hurried a way as plainly spoke the

distraction of his thoughts

at length every idea seemed to fail him and after standing a few

moments without saying a word he suddenly recollected himself and took

leave

the others then joined her and expressed admiration of his figure but

elizabeth heard not a word and wholly engrossed by her own feelings

followed them in silence she was overpowered by shame and vexation her

coming there was the most unfortunate the most illjudged thing in the

world how strange it must appear to him in what a disgraceful light

might it not strike so vain a man it might seem as if she had purposely

thrown herself in his way again oh why did she come or why did he

thus come a day before he was expected had they been only ten minutes

sooner they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination

for it was plain that he was that moment arrivedthat moment alighted

from his horse or his carriage she blushed again and again over

the perverseness of the meeting and his behaviour so strikingly

alteredwhat could it mean that he should even speak to her was

amazingbut to speak with such civility to inquire after her family

never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified never

had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting what

a contrast did it offer to his last address in rosings park when he put

his letter into her hand she knew not what to think or how to account

for it

they had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water and

every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground or a finer

reach of the woods to which they were approaching but it was some time

before elizabeth was sensible of any of it and though she answered

mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt and

seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out she

distinguished no part of the scene her thoughts were all fixed on that

one spot of pemberley house whichever it might be where mr darcy then

was she longed to know what at the moment was passing in his mindin

what manner he thought of her and whether in defiance of everything

she was still dear to him perhaps he had been civil only because he

felt himself at ease yet there had been that in his voice which was

not like ease whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in

seeing her she could not tell but he certainly had not seen her with

composure

at length however the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind

aroused her and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself

they entered the woods and bidding adieu to the river for a while

ascended some of the higher grounds when in spots where the opening of

the trees gave the eye power to wander were many charming views of the

valley the opposite hills with the long range of woods overspreading

many and occasionally part of the stream mr gardiner expressed a wish

of going round the whole park but feared it might be beyond a walk

with a triumphant smile they were told that it was ten miles round

it settled the matter and they pursued the accustomed circuit which

brought them again after some time in a descent among hanging woods

to the edge of the water and one of its narrowest parts they crossed

it by a simple bridge in character with the general air of the scene

it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited and the

valley here contracted into a glen allowed room only for the stream

and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppicewood which bordered it

elizabeth longed to explore its windings but when they had crossed the

bridge and perceived their distance from the house mrs gardiner

who was not a great walker could go no farther and thought only

of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible her niece was

therefore obliged to submit and they took their way towards the house

on the opposite side of the river in the nearest direction but their

progress was slow for mr gardiner though seldom able to indulge the

taste was very fond of fishing and was so much engaged in watching the

occasional appearance of some trout in the water and talking to the

man about them that he advanced but little whilst wandering on in this

slow manner they were again surprised and elizabeths astonishment

was quite equal to what it had been at first by the sight of mr darcy

approaching them and at no great distance the walk being here

less sheltered than on the other side allowed them to see him before

they met elizabeth however astonished was at least more prepared

for an interview than before and resolved to appear and to speak with

calmness if he really intended to meet them for a few moments indeed

she felt that he would probably strike into some other path the idea

lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view the

turning past he was immediately before them with a glance she saw

that he had lost none of his recent civility and to imitate his

politeness she began as they met to admire the beauty of the place

but she had not got beyond the words delightful and charming when

some unlucky recollections obtruded and she fancied that praise of

pemberley from her might be mischievously construed her colour changed

and she said no more

mrs gardiner was standing a little behind and on her pausing he asked

her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends

this was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared

and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the

acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had

revolted in his offer to herself what will be his surprise thought

she when he knows who they are he takes them now for people of

fashion

the introduction however was immediately made and as she named their

relationship to herself she stole a sly look at him to see how he bore

it and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he

could from such disgraceful companions that he was surprised by the

connection was evident he sustained it however with fortitude and

so far from going away turned back with them and entered into

conversation with mr gardiner elizabeth could not but be pleased

could not but triumph it was consoling that he should know she had

some relations for whom there was no need to blush she listened most

attentively to all that passed between them and gloried in every

expression every sentence of her uncle which marked his intelligence

his taste or his good manners

the conversation soon turned upon fishing and she heard mr darcy

invite him with the greatest civility to fish there as often as he

chose while he continued in the neighbourhood offering at the same time

to supply him with fishing tackle and pointing out those parts of

the stream where there was usually most sport mrs gardiner who was

walking arminarm with elizabeth gave her a look expressive of wonder

elizabeth said nothing but it gratified her exceedingly the compliment

must be all for herself her astonishment however was extreme and

continually was she repeating why is he so altered from what can

it proceed it cannot be for meit cannot be for my sake that his

manners are thus softened my reproofs at hunsford could not work such a

change as this it is impossible that he should still love me

after walking some time in this way the two ladies in front the two

gentlemen behind on resuming their places after descending to

the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious

waterplant there chanced to be a little alteration it originated

in mrs gardiner who fatigued by the exercise of the morning found

elizabeths arm inadequate to her support and consequently preferred

her husbands mr darcy took her place by her niece and they walked on

together after a short silence the lady first spoke she wished him

to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the

place and accordingly began by observing that his arrival had been

very unexpectedfor your housekeeper she added informed us that

you would certainly not be here till tomorrow and indeed before we

left bakewell we understood that you were not immediately expected

in the country he acknowledged the truth of it all and said that

business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours

before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling they

will join me early tomorrow he continued and among them are some

who will claim an acquaintance with youmr bingley and his sisters

elizabeth answered only by a slight bow her thoughts were instantly

driven back to the time when mr bingleys name had been the last

mentioned between them and if she might judge by his complexion his

mind was not very differently engaged

there is also one other person in the party he continued after a

pause who more particularly wishes to be known to you will you allow

me or do i ask too much to introduce my sister to your acquaintance

during your stay at lambton

the surprise of such an application was great indeed it was too great

for her to know in what manner she acceded to it she immediately felt

that whatever desire miss darcy might have of being acquainted with her

must be the work of her brother and without looking farther it was

satisfactory it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made

him think really ill of her

they now walked on in silence each of them deep in thought elizabeth

was not comfortable that was impossible but she was flattered and

pleased his wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of

the highest kind they soon outstripped the others and when they had

reached the carriage mr and mrs gardiner were half a quarter of a

mile behind

he then asked her to walk into the housebut she declared herself not

tired and they stood together on the lawn at such a time much might

have been said and silence was very awkward she wanted to talk but

there seemed to be an embargo on every subject at last she recollected

that she had been travelling and they talked of matlock and dove dale

with great perseverance yet time and her aunt moved slowlyand her

patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the teteatete was

over on mr and mrs gardiners coming up they were all pressed to go

into the house and take some refreshment but this was declined and

they parted on each side with utmost politeness mr darcy handed the

ladies into the carriage and when it drove off elizabeth saw him

walking slowly towards the house

the observations of her uncle and aunt now began and each of them

pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected

he is perfectly well behaved polite and unassuming said her uncle

there is something a little stately in him to be sure replied her

aunt but it is confined to his air and is not unbecoming i can now

say with the housekeeper that though some people may call him proud i

have seen nothing of it

i was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us it was more

than civil it was really attentive and there was no necessity for such

attention his acquaintance with elizabeth was very trifling

to be sure lizzy said her aunt he is not so handsome as wickham

or rather he has not wickhams countenance for his features

are perfectly good but how came you to tell me that he was so

disagreeable

elizabeth excused herself as well as she could said that she had liked

him better when they had met in kent than before and that she had never

seen him so pleasant as this morning

but perhaps he may be a little whimsical in his civilities replied

her uncle your great men often are and therefore i shall not take him

at his word as he might change his mind another day and warn me off

his grounds

elizabeth felt that they had entirely misunderstood his character but

said nothing

from what we have seen of him continued mrs gardiner i really

should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by

anybody as he has done by poor wickham he has not an illnatured look

on the contrary there is something pleasing about his mouth when he

speaks and there is something of dignity in his countenance that would

not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart but to be sure the

good lady who showed us his house did give him a most flaming character

i could hardly help laughing aloud sometimes but he is a liberal

master i suppose and that in the eye of a servant comprehends every

virtue

elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of

his behaviour to wickham and therefore gave them to understand in

as guarded a manner as she could that by what she had heard from

his relations in kent his actions were capable of a very different

construction and that his character was by no means so faulty nor

wickhams so amiable as they had been considered in hertfordshire in

confirmation of this she related the particulars of all the pecuniary

transactions in which they had been connected without actually naming

her authority but stating it to be such as might be relied on

mrs gardiner was surprised and concerned but as they were now

approaching the scene of her former pleasures every idea gave way to

the charm of recollection and she was too much engaged in pointing out

to her husband all the interesting spots in its environs to think of

anything else fatigued as she had been by the mornings walk they

had no sooner dined than she set off again in quest of her former

acquaintance and the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a

intercourse renewed after many years discontinuance

the occurrences of the day were too full of interest to leave elizabeth

much attention for any of these new friends and she could do nothing

but think and think with wonder of mr darcys civility and above

all of his wishing her to be acquainted with his sister

chapter 44

elizabeth had settled it that mr darcy would bring his sister to visit

her the very day after her reaching pemberley and was consequently

resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning

but her conclusion was false for on the very morning after their

arrival at lambton these visitors came they had been walking about the

place with some of their new friends and were just returning to the inn

to dress themselves for dining with the same family when the sound of a

carriage drew them to a window and they saw a gentleman and a lady in

a curricle driving up the street elizabeth immediately recognizing

the livery guessed what it meant and imparted no small degree of her

surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she

expected her uncle and aunt were all amazement and the embarrassment

of her manner as she spoke joined to the circumstance itself and many

of the circumstances of the preceding day opened to them a new idea on

the business nothing had ever suggested it before but they felt that

there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a

quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece while these

newlyborn notions were passing in their heads the perturbation of

elizabeths feelings was at every moment increasing she was quite

amazed at her own discomposure but amongst other causes of disquiet

she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much

in her favour and more than commonly anxious to please she naturally

suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her

she retreated from the window fearful of being seen and as she walked

up and down the room endeavouring to compose herself saw such looks of

inquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse

miss darcy and her brother appeared and this formidable introduction

took place with astonishment did elizabeth see that her new

acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself since her

being at lambton she had heard that miss darcy was exceedingly proud

but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was

only exceedingly shy she found it difficult to obtain even a word from

her beyond a monosyllable

miss darcy was tall and on a larger scale than elizabeth and though

little more than sixteen her figure was formed and her appearance

womanly and graceful she was less handsome than her brother but there

was sense and good humour in her face and her manners were perfectly

unassuming and gentle elizabeth who had expected to find in her as

acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever mr darcy had been was much

relieved by discerning such different feelings

they had not long been together before mr darcy told her that bingley

was also coming to wait on her and she had barely time to express her

satisfaction and prepare for such a visitor when bingleys quick

step was heard on the stairs and in a moment he entered the room all

elizabeths anger against him had been long done away but had she still

felt any it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected

cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again he

inquired in a friendly though general way after her family and looked

and spoke with the same goodhumoured ease that he had ever done

to mr and mrs gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage

than to herself they had long wished to see him the whole party before

them indeed excited a lively attention the suspicions which had just

arisen of mr darcy and their niece directed their observation towards

each with an earnest though guarded inquiry and they soon drew from

those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew

what it was to love of the ladys sensations they remained a little

in doubt but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was

evident enough

elizabeth on her side had much to do she wanted to ascertain the

feelings of each of her visitors she wanted to compose her own and

to make herself agreeable to all and in the latter object where she

feared most to fail she was most sure of success for those to whom she

endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour bingley

was ready georgiana was eager and darcy determined to be pleased

in seeing bingley her thoughts naturally flew to her sister and oh

how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in

a like manner sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on

former occasions and once or twice pleased herself with the notion

that as he looked at her he was trying to trace a resemblance but

though this might be imaginary she could not be deceived as to his

behaviour to miss darcy who had been set up as a rival to jane no look

appeared on either side that spoke particular regard nothing occurred

between them that could justify the hopes of his sister on this point

she was soon satisfied and two or three little circumstances occurred

ere they parted which in her anxious interpretation denoted a

recollection of jane not untinctured by tenderness and a wish of saying

more that might lead to the mention of her had he dared he observed

to her at a moment when the others were talking together and in a tone

which had something of real regret that it was a very long time since

he had had the pleasure of seeing her and before she could reply

he added it is above eight months we have not met since the 26th of

november when we were all dancing together at netherfield

elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact and he afterwards

took occasion to ask her when unattended to by any of the rest whether

all her sisters were at longbourn there was not much in the question

nor in the preceding remark but there was a look and a manner which

gave them meaning

it was not often that she could turn her eyes on mr darcy himself

but whenever she did catch a glimpse she saw an expression of general

complaisance and in all that he said she heard an accent so removed

from hauteur or disdain of his companions as convinced her that

the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed however

temporary its existence might prove had at least outlived one day when

she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion

of people with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a

disgracewhen she saw him thus civil not only to herself but to the

very relations whom he had openly disdained and recollected their last

lively scene in hunsford parsonagethe difference the change was

so great and struck so forcibly on her mind that she could hardly

restrain her astonishment from being visible never even in the company

of his dear friends at netherfield or his dignified relations

at rosings had she seen him so desirous to please so free from

selfconsequence or unbending reserve as now when no importance

could result from the success of his endeavours and when even the

acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw

down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of netherfield and

rosings

their visitors stayed with them above halfanhour and when they arose

to depart mr darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing

their wish of seeing mr and mrs gardiner and miss bennet to dinner

at pemberley before they left the country miss darcy though with a

diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations

readily obeyed mrs gardiner looked at her niece desirous of knowing

how she whom the invitation most concerned felt disposed as to its

acceptance but elizabeth had turned away her head presuming however

that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment than

any dislike of the proposal and seeing in her husband who was fond of

society a perfect willingness to accept it she ventured to engage for

her attendance and the day after the next was fixed on

bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing elizabeth

again having still a great deal to say to her and many inquiries to

make after all their hertfordshire friends elizabeth construing all

this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister was pleased and on

this account as well as some others found herself when their

visitors left them capable of considering the last halfhour with some

satisfaction though while it was passing the enjoyment of it had been

little eager to be alone and fearful of inquiries or hints from her

uncle and aunt she stayed with them only long enough to hear their

favourable opinion of bingley and then hurried away to dress

but she had no reason to fear mr and mrs gardiners curiosity it was

not their wish to force her communication it was evident that she was

much better acquainted with mr darcy than they had before any idea of

it was evident that he was very much in love with her they saw much to

interest but nothing to justify inquiry

of mr darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well and as far

as their acquaintance reached there was no fault to find they could

not be untouched by his politeness and had they drawn his character

from their own feelings and his servants report without any reference

to any other account the circle in hertfordshire to which he was known

would not have recognized it for mr darcy there was now an interest

however in believing the housekeeper and they soon became sensible

that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four

years old and whose own manners indicated respectability was not to be

hastily rejected neither had anything occurred in the intelligence of

their lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight they had

nothing to accuse him of but pride pride he probably had and if not

it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small markettown

where the family did not visit it was acknowledged however that he

was a liberal man and did much good among the poor

with respect to wickham the travellers soon found that he was not held

there in much estimation for though the chief of his concerns with the

son of his patron were imperfectly understood it was yet a wellknown

fact that on his quitting derbyshire he had left many debts behind

him which mr darcy afterwards discharged

as for elizabeth her thoughts were at pemberley this evening more than

the last and the evening though as it passed it seemed long was not

long enough to determine her feelings towards one in that mansion

and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out she

certainly did not hate him no hatred had vanished long ago and she

had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him

that could be so called the respect created by the conviction of his

valuable qualities though at first unwillingly admitted had for some

time ceased to be repugnant to her feeling and it was now heightened

into somewhat of a friendlier nature by the testimony so highly in

his favour and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light

which yesterday had produced but above all above respect and esteem

there was a motive within her of goodwill which could not be overlooked

it was gratitude gratitude not merely for having once loved her

but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and

acrimony of her manner in rejecting him and all the unjust accusations

accompanying her rejection he who she had been persuaded would avoid

her as his greatest enemy seemed on this accidental meeting most

eager to preserve the acquaintance and without any indelicate display

of regard or any peculiarity of manner where their two selves only

were concerned was soliciting the good opinion of her friends and bent

on making her known to his sister such a change in a man of so much

pride exciting not only astonishment but gratitudefor to love ardent

love it must be attributed and as such its impression on her was of a

sort to be encouraged as by no means unpleasing though it could not be

exactly defined she respected she esteemed she was grateful to him

she felt a real interest in his welfare and she only wanted to know how

far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself and how far it would

be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power which her

fancy told her she still possessed of bringing on her the renewal of

his addresses

it had been settled in the evening between the aunt and the niece that

such a striking civility as miss darcys in coming to see them on the

very day of her arrival at pemberley for she had reached it only to a

late breakfast ought to be imitated though it could not be equalled

by some exertion of politeness on their side and consequently that

it would be highly expedient to wait on her at pemberley the following

morning they were therefore to go elizabeth was pleased though when

she asked herself the reason she had very little to say in reply

mr gardiner left them soon after breakfast the fishing scheme had been

renewed the day before and a positive engagement made of his meeting

some of the gentlemen at pemberley before noon

chapter 45

convinced as elizabeth now was that miss bingleys dislike of her had

originated in jealousy she could not help feeling how unwelcome her

appearance at pemberley must be to her and was curious to know with how

much civility on that ladys side the acquaintance would now be renewed

on reaching the house they were shown through the hall into the saloon

whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer its windows

opening to the ground admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody

hills behind the house and of the beautiful oaks and spanish chestnuts

which were scattered over the intermediate lawn

in this house they were received by miss darcy who was sitting there

with mrs hurst and miss bingley and the lady with whom she lived in

london georgianas reception of them was very civil but attended with

all the embarrassment which though proceeding from shyness and the fear

of doing wrong would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior

the belief of her being proud and reserved mrs gardiner and her niece

however did her justice and pitied her

by mrs hurst and miss bingley they were noticed only by a curtsey and

on their being seated a pause awkward as such pauses must always be

succeeded for a few moments it was first broken by mrs annesley a

genteel agreeablelooking woman whose endeavour to introduce some kind

of discourse proved her to be more truly wellbred than either of the

others and between her and mrs gardiner with occasional help from

elizabeth the conversation was carried on miss darcy looked as if she

wished for courage enough to join in it and sometimes did venture a

short sentence when there was least danger of its being heard

elizabeth soon saw that she was herself closely watched by miss bingley

and that she could not speak a word especially to miss darcy without

calling her attention this observation would not have prevented her

from trying to talk to the latter had they not been seated at an

inconvenient distance but she was not sorry to be spared the necessity

of saying much her own thoughts were employing her she expected every

moment that some of the gentlemen would enter the room she wished she

feared that the master of the house might be amongst them and whether

she wished or feared it most she could scarcely determine after

sitting in this manner a quarter of an hour without hearing miss

bingleys voice elizabeth was roused by receiving from her a cold

inquiry after the health of her family she answered with equal

indifference and brevity and the other said no more

the next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the

entrance of servants with cold meat cake and a variety of all the

finest fruits in season but this did not take place till after many

a significant look and smile from mrs annesley to miss darcy had been

given to remind her of her post there was now employment for the whole

partyfor though they could not all talk they could all eat and the

beautiful pyramids of grapes nectarines and peaches soon collected

them round the table

while thus engaged elizabeth had a fair opportunity of deciding whether

she most feared or wished for the appearance of mr darcy by the

feelings which prevailed on his entering the room and then though but

a moment before she had believed her wishes to predominate she began to

regret that he came

he had been some time with mr gardiner who with two or three other

gentlemen from the house was engaged by the river and had left him

only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to

georgiana that morning no sooner did he appear than elizabeth wisely

resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed a resolution the more

necessary to be made but perhaps not the more easily kept because she

saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them

and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour

when he first came into the room in no countenance was attentive

curiosity so strongly marked as in miss bingleys in spite of the

smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its

objects for jealousy had not yet made her desperate and her attentions

to mr darcy were by no means over miss darcy on her brothers

entrance exerted herself much more to talk and elizabeth saw that he

was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted and forwarded

as much as possible every attempt at conversation on either side miss

bingley saw all this likewise and in the imprudence of anger took the

first opportunity of saying with sneering civility

pray miss eliza are not the shire militia removed from meryton

they must be a great loss to your family

in darcys presence she dared not mention wickhams name but elizabeth

instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts and the

various recollections connected with him gave her a moments distress

but exerting herself vigorously to repel the illnatured attack she

presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone while

she spoke an involuntary glance showed her darcy with a heightened

complexion earnestly looking at her and his sister overcome with

confusion and unable to lift up her eyes had miss bingley known what

pain she was then giving her beloved friend she undoubtedly would

have refrained from the hint but she had merely intended to discompose

elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed

her partial to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in

darcys opinion and perhaps to remind the latter of all the follies

and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected

with that corps not a syllable had ever reached her of miss darcys

meditated elopement to no creature had it been revealed where secrecy

was possible except to elizabeth and from all bingleys connections

her brother was particularly anxious to conceal it from the very

wish which elizabeth had long ago attributed to him of their becoming

hereafter her own he had certainly formed such a plan and without

meaning that it should affect his endeavour to separate him from miss

bennet it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern

for the welfare of his friend

elizabeths collected behaviour however soon quieted his emotion and

as miss bingley vexed and disappointed dared not approach nearer to

wickham georgiana also recovered in time though not enough to be able

to speak any more her brother whose eye she feared to meet scarcely

recollected her interest in the affair and the very circumstance which

had been designed to turn his thoughts from elizabeth seemed to have

fixed them on her more and more cheerfully

their visit did not continue long after the question and answer above

mentioned and while mr darcy was attending them to their carriage miss

bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on elizabeths person

behaviour and dress but georgiana would not join her her brothers

recommendation was enough to ensure her favour his judgement could not

err and he had spoken in such terms of elizabeth as to leave georgiana

without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable when

darcy returned to the saloon miss bingley could not help repeating to

him some part of what she had been saying to his sister

how very ill miss eliza bennet looks this morning mr darcy she

cried i never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is since

the winter she is grown so brown and coarse louisa and i were agreeing

that we should not have known her again

however little mr darcy might have liked such an address he contented

himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than

her being rather tanned no miraculous consequence of travelling in the

summer

for my own part she rejoined i must confess that i never could

see any beauty in her her face is too thin her complexion has no

brilliancy and her features are not at all handsome her nose

wants characterthere is nothing marked in its lines her teeth are

tolerable but not out of the common way and as for her eyes

which have sometimes been called so fine i could never see anything

extraordinary in them they have a sharp shrewish look which i do

not like at all and in her air altogether there is a selfsufficiency

without fashion which is intolerable

persuaded as miss bingley was that darcy admired elizabeth this was not

the best method of recommending herself but angry people are not always

wise and in seeing him at last look somewhat nettled she had all the

success she expected he was resolutely silent however and from a

determination of making him speak she continued

i remember when we first knew her in hertfordshire how amazed we all

were to find that she was a reputed beauty and i particularly recollect

your saying one night after they had been dining at netherfield she

a beautyi should as soon call her mother a wit but afterwards she

seemed to improve on you and i believe you thought her rather pretty at

one time

yes replied darcy who could contain himself no longer but that

was only when i first saw her for it is many months since i have

considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance

he then went away and miss bingley was left to all the satisfaction of

having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself

mrs gardiner and elizabeth talked of all that had occurred during their

visit as they returned except what had particularly interested them

both the look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed

except of the person who had mostly engaged their attention they talked

of his sister his friends his house his fruitof everything but

himself yet elizabeth was longing to know what mrs gardiner thought of

him and mrs gardiner would have been highly gratified by her nieces

beginning the subject

chapter 46

elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from

jane on their first arrival at lambton and this disappointment had been

renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there but

on the third her repining was over and her sister justified by the

receipt of two letters from her at once on one of which was marked that

it had been missent elsewhere elizabeth was not surprised at it as

jane had written the direction remarkably ill

they had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in and

her uncle and aunt leaving her to enjoy them in quiet set off by

themselves the one missent must first be attended to it had been

written five days ago the beginning contained an account of all their

little parties and engagements with such news as the country afforded

but the latter half which was dated a day later and written in evident

agitation gave more important intelligence it was to this effect

since writing the above dearest lizzy something has occurred of a

most unexpected and serious nature but i am afraid of alarming yoube

assured that we are all well what i have to say relates to poor lydia

an express came at twelve last night just as we were all gone to bed

from colonel forster to inform us that she was gone off to scotland

with one of his officers to own the truth with wickham imagine our

surprise to kitty however it does not seem so wholly unexpected i am

very very sorry so imprudent a match on both sides but i am willing

to hope the best and that his character has been misunderstood

thoughtless and indiscreet i can easily believe him but this step

and let us rejoice over it marks nothing bad at heart his choice is

disinterested at least for he must know my father can give her nothing

our poor mother is sadly grieved my father bears it better how

thankful am i that we never let them know what has been said against

him we must forget it ourselves they were off saturday night about

twelve as is conjectured but were not missed till yesterday morning at

eight the express was sent off directly my dear lizzy they must have

passed within ten miles of us colonel forster gives us reason to expect

him here soon lydia left a few lines for his wife informing her of

their intention i must conclude for i cannot be long from my poor

mother i am afraid you will not be able to make it out but i hardly

know what i have written

without allowing herself time for consideration and scarcely knowing

what she felt elizabeth on finishing this letter instantly seized the

other and opening it with the utmost impatience read as follows it

had been written a day later than the conclusion of the first

by this time my dearest sister you have received my hurried letter i

wish this may be more intelligible but though not confined for time my

head is so bewildered that i cannot answer for being coherent dearest

lizzy i hardly know what i would write but i have bad news for you

and it cannot be delayed imprudent as the marriage between mr wickham

and our poor lydia would be we are now anxious to be assured it has

taken place for there is but too much reason to fear they are not gone

to scotland colonel forster came yesterday having left brighton the

day before not many hours after the express though lydias short

letter to mrs f gave them to understand that they were going to gretna

green something was dropped by denny expressing his belief that w

never intended to go there or to marry lydia at all which was

repeated to colonel f who instantly taking the alarm set off from b

intending to trace their route he did trace them easily to clapham

but no further for on entering that place they removed into a hackney

coach and dismissed the chaise that brought them from epsom all that

is known after this is that they were seen to continue the london road

i know not what to think after making every possible inquiry on that

side london colonel f came on into hertfordshire anxiously renewing

them at all the turnpikes and at the inns in barnet and hatfield but

without any successno such people had been seen to pass through with

the kindest concern he came on to longbourn and broke his apprehensions

to us in a manner most creditable to his heart i am sincerely grieved

for him and mrs f but no one can throw any blame on them our

distress my dear lizzy is very great my father and mother believe the

worst but i cannot think so ill of him many circumstances might make

it more eligible for them to be married privately in town than to pursue

their first plan and even if he could form such a design against a

young woman of lydias connections which is not likely can i suppose

her so lost to everything impossible i grieve to find however that

colonel f is not disposed to depend upon their marriage he shook his

head when i expressed my hopes and said he feared w was not a man to

be trusted my poor mother is really ill and keeps her room could she

exert herself it would be better but this is not to be expected and

as to my father i never in my life saw him so affected poor kitty has

anger for having concealed their attachment but as it was a matter of

confidence one cannot wonder i am truly glad dearest lizzy that you

have been spared something of these distressing scenes but now as the

first shock is over shall i own that i long for your return i am not

so selfish however as to press for it if inconvenient adieu i

take up my pen again to do what i have just told you i would not but

circumstances are such that i cannot help earnestly begging you all to

come here as soon as possible i know my dear uncle and aunt so well

that i am not afraid of requesting it though i have still something

more to ask of the former my father is going to london with colonel

forster instantly to try to discover her what he means to do i am sure

i know not but his excessive distress will not allow him to pursue any

measure in the best and safest way and colonel forster is obliged to

be at brighton again tomorrow evening in such an exigence my

uncles advice and assistance would be everything in the world he will

immediately comprehend what i must feel and i rely upon his goodness

oh where where is my uncle cried elizabeth darting from her seat

as she finished the letter in eagerness to follow him without losing

a moment of the time so precious but as she reached the door it was

opened by a servant and mr darcy appeared her pale face and impetuous

manner made him start and before he could recover himself to speak

she in whose mind every idea was superseded by lydias situation

hastily exclaimed i beg your pardon but i must leave you i must find

mr gardiner this moment on business that cannot be delayed i have not

an instant to lose

good god what is the matter cried he with more feeling than

politeness then recollecting himself i will not detain you a minute

but let me or let the servant go after mr and mrs gardiner you are

not well enough you cannot go yourself

elizabeth hesitated but her knees trembled under her and she felt how

little would be gained by her attempting to pursue them calling back

the servant therefore she commissioned him though in so breathless

an accent as made her almost unintelligible to fetch his master and

mistress home instantly

on his quitting the room she sat down unable to support herself and

looking so miserably ill that it was impossible for darcy to leave her

or to refrain from saying in a tone of gentleness and commiseration

let me call your maid is there nothing you could take to give you

present relief a glass of wine shall i get you one you are very ill

no i thank you she replied endeavouring to recover herself there

is nothing the matter with me i am quite well i am only distressed by

some dreadful news which i have just received from longbourn

she burst into tears as she alluded to it and for a few minutes could

not speak another word darcy in wretched suspense could only say

something indistinctly of his concern and observe her in compassionate

silence at length she spoke again i have just had a letter from jane

with such dreadful news it cannot be concealed from anyone my younger

sister has left all her friendshas eloped has thrown herself into

the power ofof mr wickham they are gone off together from brighton

you know him too well to doubt the rest she has no money no

connections nothing that can tempt him toshe is lost for ever

darcy was fixed in astonishment when i consider she added in a yet

more agitated voice that i might have prevented it i who knew what

he was had i but explained some part of it onlysome part of what i

learnt to my own family had his character been known this could not

have happened but it is allall too late now

i am grieved indeed cried darcy grievedshocked but is it

certainabsolutely certain

oh yes they left brighton together on sunday night and were traced

almost to london but not beyond they are certainly not gone to

scotland

and what has been done what has been attempted to recover her

my father is gone to london and jane has written to beg my uncles

immediate assistance and we shall be off i hope in halfanhour but

nothing can be donei know very well that nothing can be done how is

such a man to be worked on how are they even to be discovered i have

not the smallest hope it is every way horrible

darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence

when my eyes were opened to his real characteroh had i known what

i ought what i dared to do but i knew noti was afraid of doing too

much wretched wretched mistake

darcy made no answer he seemed scarcely to hear her and was walking

up and down the room in earnest meditation his brow contracted his air

gloomy elizabeth soon observed and instantly understood it her

power was sinking everything must sink under such a proof of family

weakness such an assurance of the deepest disgrace she could neither

wonder nor condemn but the belief of his selfconquest brought nothing

consolatory to her bosom afforded no palliation of her distress it

was on the contrary exactly calculated to make her understand her own

wishes and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved

him as now when all love must be vain

but self though it would intrude could not engross her lydiathe

humiliation the misery she was bringing on them all soon swallowed

up every private care and covering her face with her handkerchief

elizabeth was soon lost to everything else and after a pause of

several minutes was only recalled to a sense of her situation by

the voice of her companion who in a manner which though it spoke

compassion spoke likewise restraint said i am afraid you have been

long desiring my absence nor have i anything to plead in excuse of my

stay but real though unavailing concern would to heaven that anything

could be either said or done on my part that might offer consolation to

such distress but i will not torment you with vain wishes which may

seem purposely to ask for your thanks this unfortunate affair will i

fear prevent my sisters having the pleasure of seeing you at pemberley

today

oh yes be so kind as to apologise for us to miss darcy say that

urgent business calls us home immediately conceal the unhappy truth as

long as it is possible i know it cannot be long

he readily assured her of his secrecy again expressed his sorrow for

her distress wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present

reason to hope and leaving his compliments for her relations with only

one serious parting look went away

as he quitted the room elizabeth felt how improbable it was that they

should ever see each other again on such terms of cordiality as

had marked their several meetings in derbyshire and as she threw a

retrospective glance over the whole of their acquaintance so full

of contradictions and varieties sighed at the perverseness of those

feelings which would now have promoted its continuance and would

formerly have rejoiced in its termination

if gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection elizabeths

change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty but if

otherwiseif regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or

unnatural in comparison of what is so often described as arising on

a first interview with its object and even before two words have been

exchanged nothing can be said in her defence except that she had given

somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for wickham

and that its ill success might perhaps authorise her to seek the other

less interesting mode of attachment be that as it may she saw him

go with regret and in this early example of what lydias infamy must

produce found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched

business never since reading janes second letter had she entertained

a hope of wickhams meaning to marry her no one but jane she thought

could flatter herself with such an expectation surprise was the least

of her feelings on this development while the contents of the first

letter remained in her mind she was all surpriseall astonishment that

wickham should marry a girl whom it was impossible he could marry

for money and how lydia could ever have attached him had appeared

incomprehensible but now it was all too natural for such an attachment

as this she might have sufficient charms and though she did not suppose

lydia to be deliberately engaging in an elopement without the intention

of marriage she had no difficulty in believing that neither her virtue

nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy prey

she had never perceived while the regiment was in hertfordshire that

lydia had any partiality for him but she was convinced that lydia

wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody sometimes one

officer sometimes another had been her favourite as their attentions

raised them in her opinion her affections had continually been

fluctuating but never without an object the mischief of neglect and

mistaken indulgence towards such a girloh how acutely did she now

feel it

she was wild to be at hometo hear to see to be upon the spot to

share with jane in the cares that must now fall wholly upon her in a

family so deranged a father absent a mother incapable of exertion and

requiring constant attendance and though almost persuaded that nothing

could be done for lydia her uncles interference seemed of the utmost

importance and till he entered the room her impatience was severe mr

and mrs gardiner had hurried back in alarm supposing by the servants

account that their niece was taken suddenly ill but satisfying them

instantly on that head she eagerly communicated the cause of their

summons reading the two letters aloud and dwelling on the postscript

of the last with trembling energythough lydia had never been a

favourite with them mr and mrs gardiner could not but be deeply

afflicted not lydia only but all were concerned in it and after the

first exclamations of surprise and horror mr gardiner promised every

assistance in his power elizabeth though expecting no less thanked

him with tears of gratitude and all three being actuated by one spirit

everything relating to their journey was speedily settled they were to

be off as soon as possible but what is to be done about pemberley

cried mrs gardiner john told us mr darcy was here when you sent for

us was it so

yes and i told him we should not be able to keep our engagement

that is all settled

what is all settled repeated the other as she ran into her room to

prepare and are they upon such terms as for her to disclose the real

truth oh that i knew how it was

but wishes were vain or at least could only serve to amuse her in the

hurry and confusion of the following hour had elizabeth been at leisure

to be idle she would have remained certain that all employment was

impossible to one so wretched as herself but she had her share of

business as well as her aunt and amongst the rest there were notes to

be written to all their friends at lambton with false excuses for their

sudden departure an hour however saw the whole completed and mr

gardiner meanwhile having settled his account at the inn nothing

remained to be done but to go and elizabeth after all the misery of

the morning found herself in a shorter space of time than she could

have supposed seated in the carriage and on the road to longbourn

chapter 47

i have been thinking it over again elizabeth said her uncle as they

drove from the town and really upon serious consideration i am much

more inclined than i was to judge as your eldest sister does on the

matter it appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should

form such a design against a girl who is by no means unprotected or

friendless and who was actually staying in his colonels family that i

am strongly inclined to hope the best could he expect that her friends

would not step forward could he expect to be noticed again by the

regiment after such an affront to colonel forster his temptation is

not adequate to the risk

do you really think so cried elizabeth brightening up for a moment

upon my word said mrs gardiner i begin to be of your uncles

opinion it is really too great a violation of decency honour and

interest for him to be guilty of i cannot think so very ill of

wickham can you yourself lizzy so wholly give him up as to believe

him capable of it

not perhaps of neglecting his own interest but of every other

neglect i can believe him capable if indeed it should be so but i

dare not hope it why should they not go on to scotland if that had been

the case

in the first place replied mr gardiner there is no absolute proof

that they are not gone to scotland

oh but their removing from the chaise into a hackney coach is such

a presumption and besides no traces of them were to be found on the

barnet road

well thensupposing them to be in london they may be there though

for the purpose of concealment for no more exceptional purpose it is

not likely that money should be very abundant on either side and it

might strike them that they could be more economically though less

expeditiously married in london than in scotland

but why all this secrecy why any fear of detection why must their

marriage be private oh no nothis is not likely his most particular

friend you see by janes account was persuaded of his never intending

to marry her wickham will never marry a woman without some money he

cannot afford it and what claims has lydiawhat attraction has she

beyond youth health and good humour that could make him for her sake

forego every chance of benefiting himself by marrying well as to what

restraint the apprehensions of disgrace in the corps might throw on a

dishonourable elopement with her i am not able to judge for i know

nothing of the effects that such a step might produce but as to your

other objection i am afraid it will hardly hold good lydia has

no brothers to step forward and he might imagine from my fathers

behaviour from his indolence and the little attention he has ever

seemed to give to what was going forward in his family that he would

do as little and think as little about it as any father could do in

such a matter

but can you think that lydia is so lost to everything but love of him

as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage

it does seem and it is most shocking indeed replied elizabeth with

tears in her eyes that a sisters sense of decency and virtue in such

a point should admit of doubt but really i know not what to say

perhaps i am not doing her justice but she is very young she has never

been taught to think on serious subjects and for the last halfyear

nay for a twelvemonthshe has been given up to nothing but amusement

and vanity she has been allowed to dispose of her time in the most idle

and frivolous manner and to adopt any opinions that came in her way

since the shire were first quartered in meryton nothing but love

flirtation and officers have been in her head she has been doing

everything in her power by thinking and talking on the subject to give

greaterwhat shall i call it susceptibility to her feelings which are

naturally lively enough and we all know that wickham has every charm of

person and address that can captivate a woman

but you see that jane said her aunt does not think so very ill of

wickham as to believe him capable of the attempt

of whom does jane ever think ill and who is there whatever might be

their former conduct that she would think capable of such an attempt

till it were proved against them but jane knows as well as i do what

wickham really is we both know that he has been profligate in every

sense of the word that he has neither integrity nor honour that he is

as false and deceitful as he is insinuating

and do you really know all this cried mrs gardiner whose curiosity

as to the mode of her intelligence was all alive

i do indeed replied elizabeth colouring i told you the other day

of his infamous behaviour to mr darcy and you yourself when last at

longbourn heard in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved

with such forbearance and liberality towards him and there are other

circumstances which i am not at libertywhich it is not worth while to

relate but his lies about the whole pemberley family are endless from

what he said of miss darcy i was thoroughly prepared to see a proud

reserved disagreeable girl yet he knew to the contrary himself he

must know that she was as amiable and unpretending as we have found

her

but does lydia know nothing of this can she be ignorant of what you

and jane seem so well to understand

oh yesthat that is the worst of all till i was in kent and saw

so much both of mr darcy and his relation colonel fitzwilliam i was

ignorant of the truth myself and when i returned home the shire

was to leave meryton in a week or fortnights time as that was the

case neither jane to whom i related the whole nor i thought it

necessary to make our knowledge public for of what use could

it apparently be to any one that the good opinion which all the

neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown and even when it was

settled that lydia should go with mrs forster the necessity of opening

her eyes to his character never occurred to me that she could be

in any danger from the deception never entered my head that such a

consequence as this could ensue you may easily believe was far

enough from my thoughts

when they all removed to brighton therefore you had no reason i

suppose to believe them fond of each other

not the slightest i can remember no symptom of affection on either

side and had anything of the kind been perceptible you must be aware

that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown away when first

he entered the corps she was ready enough to admire him but so we all

were every girl in or near meryton was out of her senses about him for

the first two months but he never distinguished her by any particular

attention and consequently after a moderate period of extravagant and

wild admiration her fancy for him gave way and others of the regiment

who treated her with more distinction again became her favourites

                              

it may be easily believed that however little of novelty could be added

to their fears hopes and conjectures on this interesting subject by

its repeated discussion no other could detain them from it long during

the whole of the journey from elizabeths thoughts it was never absent

fixed there by the keenest of all anguish selfreproach she could find

no interval of ease or forgetfulness

they travelled as expeditiously as possible and sleeping one night

on the road reached longbourn by dinner time the next day it was a

comfort to elizabeth to consider that jane could not have been wearied

by long expectations

the little gardiners attracted by the sight of a chaise were standing

on the steps of the house as they entered the paddock and when the

carriage drove up to the door the joyful surprise that lighted up their

faces and displayed itself over their whole bodies in a variety of

capers and frisks was the first pleasing earnest of their welcome

elizabeth jumped out and after giving each of them a hasty kiss

hurried into the vestibule where jane who came running down from her

mothers apartment immediately met her

elizabeth as she affectionately embraced her whilst tears filled the

eyes of both lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been

heard of the fugitives

not yet replied jane but now that my dear uncle is come i hope

everything will be well

is my father in town

yes he went on tuesday as i wrote you word

and have you heard from him often

we have heard only twice he wrote me a few lines on wednesday to say

that he had arrived in safety and to give me his directions which i

particularly begged him to do he merely added that he should not write

again till he had something of importance to mention

and my motherhow is she how are you all

my mother is tolerably well i trust though her spirits are greatly

shaken she is up stairs and will have great satisfaction in seeing you

all she does not yet leave her dressingroom mary and kitty thank

heaven are quite well

but youhow are you cried elizabeth you look pale how much you

must have gone through

her sister however assured her of her being perfectly well and their

conversation which had been passing while mr and mrs gardiner were

engaged with their children was now put an end to by the approach

of the whole party jane ran to her uncle and aunt and welcomed and

thanked them both with alternate smiles and tears

when they were all in the drawingroom the questions which elizabeth

had already asked were of course repeated by the others and they soon

found that jane had no intelligence to give the sanguine hope of

good however which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet

deserted her she still expected that it would all end well and that

every morning would bring some letter either from lydia or her father

to explain their proceedings and perhaps announce their marriage

mrs bennet to whose apartment they all repaired after a few minutes

conversation together received them exactly as might be expected with

tears and lamentations of regret invectives against the villainous

conduct of wickham and complaints of her own sufferings and illusage

blaming everybody but the person to whose illjudging indulgence the

errors of her daughter must principally be owing

if i had been able said she to carry my point in going to brighton

with all my family this would not have happened but poor dear lydia

had nobody to take care of her why did the forsters ever let her go out

of their sight i am sure there was some great neglect or other on their

side for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been

well looked after i always thought they were very unfit to have the

charge of her but i was overruled as i always am poor dear child

and now heres mr bennet gone away and i know he will fight wickham

wherever he meets him and then he will be killed and what is to become

of us all the collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his

grave and if you are not kind to us brother i do not know what we

shall do

they all exclaimed against such terrific ideas and mr gardiner after

general assurances of his affection for her and all her family told her

that he meant to be in london the very next day and would assist mr

bennet in every endeavour for recovering lydia

do not give way to useless alarm added he though it is right to be

prepared for the worst there is no occasion to look on it as certain

it is not quite a week since they left brighton in a few days more we

may gain some news of them and till we know that they are not married

and have no design of marrying do not let us give the matter over as

lost as soon as i get to town i shall go to my brother and make

him come home with me to gracechurch street and then we may consult

together as to what is to be done

oh my dear brother replied mrs bennet that is exactly what i

could most wish for and now do when you get to town find them out

wherever they may be and if they are not married already make them

marry and as for wedding clothes do not let them wait for that but

tell lydia she shall have as much money as she chooses to buy them

after they are married and above all keep mr bennet from fighting

tell him what a dreadful state i am in that i am frighted out of my

witsand have such tremblings such flutterings all over mesuch

spasms in my side and pains in my head and such beatings at heart that

i can get no rest by night nor by day and tell my dear lydia not to

give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me for she does

not know which are the best warehouses oh brother how kind you are i

know you will contrive it all

but mr gardiner though he assured her again of his earnest endeavours

in the cause could not avoid recommending moderation to her as well

in her hopes as her fear and after talking with her in this manner till

dinner was on the table they all left her to vent all her feelings on

the housekeeper who attended in the absence of her daughters

though her brother and sister were persuaded that there was no real

occasion for such a seclusion from the family they did not attempt to

oppose it for they knew that she had not prudence enough to hold her

tongue before the servants while they waited at table and judged it

better that one only of the household and the one whom they could

most trust should comprehend all her fears and solicitude on the

subject

in the diningroom they were soon joined by mary and kitty who had been

too busily engaged in their separate apartments to make their appearance

before one came from her books and the other from her toilette the

faces of both however were tolerably calm and no change was visible

in either except that the loss of her favourite sister or the anger

which she had herself incurred in this business had given more of

fretfulness than usual to the accents of kitty as for mary she was

mistress enough of herself to whisper to elizabeth with a countenance

of grave reflection soon after they were seated at table

this is a most unfortunate affair and will probably be much talked of

but we must stem the tide of malice and pour into the wounded bosoms of

each other the balm of sisterly consolation

then perceiving in elizabeth no inclination of replying she added

unhappy as the event must be for lydia we may draw from it this useful

lesson that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable that one

false step involves her in endless ruin that her reputation is no less

brittle than it is beautiful and that she cannot be too much guarded in

her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex

elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement but was too much oppressed

to make any reply mary however continued to console herself with such

kind of moral extractions from the evil before them

in the afternoon the two elder miss bennets were able to be for

halfanhour by themselves and elizabeth instantly availed herself of

the opportunity of making any inquiries which jane was equally eager to

satisfy after joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel

of this event which elizabeth considered as all but certain and miss

bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible the former continued

the subject by saying but tell me all and everything about it which

i have not already heard give me further particulars what did colonel

forster say had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement

took place they must have seen them together for ever

colonel forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality

especially on lydias side but nothing to give him any alarm i am so

grieved for him his behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost he

was coming to us in order to assure us of his concern before he had

any idea of their not being gone to scotland when that apprehension

first got abroad it hastened his journey

and was denny convinced that wickham would not marry did he know of

their intending to go off had colonel forster seen denny himself

yes but when questioned by him denny denied knowing anything of

their plans and would not give his real opinion about it he did not

repeat his persuasion of their not marryingand from that i am

inclined to hope he might have been misunderstood before

and till colonel forster came himself not one of you entertained a

doubt i suppose of their being really married

how was it possible that such an idea should enter our brains i felt

a little uneasya little fearful of my sisters happiness with him

in marriage because i knew that his conduct had not been always quite

right my father and mother knew nothing of that they only felt how

imprudent a match it must be kitty then owned with a very natural

triumph on knowing more than the rest of us that in lydias last letter

she had prepared her for such a step she had known it seems of their

being in love with each other many weeks

but not before they went to brighton

no i believe not

and did colonel forster appear to think well of wickham himself does

he know his real character

i must confess that he did not speak so well of wickham as he formerly

did he believed him to be imprudent and extravagant and since this sad

affair has taken place it is said that he left meryton greatly in debt

but i hope this may be false

oh jane had we been less secret had we told what we knew of him

this could not have happened

perhaps it would have been better replied her sister but to expose

the former faults of any person without knowing what their present

feelings were seemed unjustifiable we acted with the best intentions

could colonel forster repeat the particulars of lydias note to his

wife

he brought it with him for us to see

jane then took it from her pocketbook and gave it to elizabeth these

were the contents

my dear harriet

you will laugh when you know where i am gone and i cannot help

laughing myself at your surprise tomorrow morning as soon as i am

missed i am going to gretna green and if you cannot guess with who

i shall think you a simpleton for there is but one man in the world i

love and he is an angel i should never be happy without him so think

it no harm to be off you need not send them word at longbourn of my

going if you do not like it for it will make the surprise the greater

when i write to them and sign my name lydia wickham what a good joke

it will be i can hardly write for laughing pray make my excuses to

pratt for not keeping my engagement and dancing with him tonight

tell him i hope he will excuse me when he knows all and tell him i will

dance with him at the next ball we meet with great pleasure i shall

send for my clothes when i get to longbourn but i wish you would tell

sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are

packed up goodbye give my love to colonel forster i hope you will

drink to our good journey

your affectionate friend

lydia bennet

oh thoughtless thoughtless lydia cried elizabeth when she had

finished it what a letter is this to be written at such a moment

but at least it shows that she was serious on the subject of their

journey whatever he might afterwards persuade her to it was not on her

side a scheme of infamy my poor father how he must have felt it

i never saw anyone so shocked he could not speak a word for full ten

minutes my mother was taken ill immediately and the whole house in

such confusion

oh jane cried elizabeth was there a servant belonging to it who

did not know the whole story before the end of the day

i do not know i hope there was but to be guarded at such a time is

very difficult my mother was in hysterics and though i endeavoured to

give her every assistance in my power i am afraid i did not do so

much as i might have done but the horror of what might possibly happen

almost took from me my faculties

your attendance upon her has been too much for you you do not look

well oh that i had been with you you have had every care and anxiety

upon yourself alone

mary and kitty have been very kind and would have shared in every

fatigue i am sure but i did not think it right for either of them

kitty is slight and delicate and mary studies so much that her hours

of repose should not be broken in on my aunt phillips came to longbourn

on tuesday after my father went away and was so good as to stay till

thursday with me she was of great use and comfort to us all and

lady lucas has been very kind she walked here on wednesday morning to

condole with us and offered her services or any of her daughters if

they should be of use to us

she had better have stayed at home cried elizabeth perhaps she

meant well but under such a misfortune as this one cannot see

too little of ones neighbours assistance is impossible condolence

insufferable let them triumph over us at a distance and be satisfied

she then proceeded to inquire into the measures which her father had

intended to pursue while in town for the recovery of his daughter

he meant i believe replied jane to go to epsom the place where

they last changed horses see the postilions and try if anything could

be made out from them his principal object must be to discover the

number of the hackney coach which took them from clapham it had come

with a fare from london and as he thought that the circumstance of a

gentleman and ladys removing from one carriage into another might

be remarked he meant to make inquiries at clapham if he could anyhow

discover at what house the coachman had before set down his fare he

determined to make inquiries there and hoped it might not be impossible

to find out the stand and number of the coach i do not know of any

other designs that he had formed but he was in such a hurry to be gone

and his spirits so greatly discomposed that i had difficulty in finding

out even so much as this

chapter 48

the whole party were in hopes of a letter from mr bennet the next

morning but the post came in without bringing a single line from him

his family knew him to be on all common occasions a most negligent and

dilatory correspondent but at such a time they had hoped for exertion

they were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to

send but even of that they would have been glad to be certain mr

gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off

when he was gone they were certain at least of receiving constant

information of what was going on and their uncle promised at parting

to prevail on mr bennet to return to longbourn as soon as he could

to the great consolation of his sister who considered it as the only

security for her husbands not being killed in a duel

mrs gardiner and the children were to remain in hertfordshire a few

days longer as the former thought her presence might be serviceable

to her nieces she shared in their attendance on mrs bennet and was a

great comfort to them in their hours of freedom their other aunt also

visited them frequently and always as she said with the design of

cheering and heartening them upthough as she never came without

reporting some fresh instance of wickhams extravagance or irregularity

she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found

them

all meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who but three months

before had been almost an angel of light he was declared to be in debt

to every tradesman in the place and his intrigues all honoured with

the title of seduction had been extended into every tradesmans family

everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world

and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the

appearance of his goodness elizabeth though she did not credit above

half of what was said believed enough to make her former assurance of

her sisters ruin more certain and even jane who believed still less

of it became almost hopeless more especially as the time was now come

when if they had gone to scotland which she had never before entirely

despaired of they must in all probability have gained some news of

them

mr gardiner left longbourn on sunday on tuesday his wife received a

letter from him it told them that on his arrival he had immediately

found out his brother and persuaded him to come to gracechurch street

that mr bennet had been to epsom and clapham before his arrival

but without gaining any satisfactory information and that he was now

determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town as mr bennet

thought it possible they might have gone to one of them on their first

coming to london before they procured lodgings mr gardiner himself

did not expect any success from this measure but as his brother was

eager in it he meant to assist him in pursuing it he added that mr

bennet seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave london and promised

to write again very soon there was also a postscript to this effect

i have written to colonel forster to desire him to find out if

possible from some of the young mans intimates in the regiment

whether wickham has any relations or connections who would be likely to

know in what part of town he has now concealed himself if there were

anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a

clue as that it might be of essential consequence at present we have

nothing to guide us colonel forster will i dare say do everything in

his power to satisfy us on this head but on second thoughts perhaps

lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living better than any

other person

elizabeth was at no loss to understand from whence this deference to her

authority proceeded but it was not in her power to give any information

of so satisfactory a nature as the compliment deserved she had never

heard of his having had any relations except a father and mother both

of whom had been dead many years it was possible however that some of

his companions in the shire might be able to give more information

and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it the application

was a something to look forward to

every day at longbourn was now a day of anxiety but the most anxious

part of each was when the post was expected the arrival of letters

was the grand object of every mornings impatience through letters

whatever of good or bad was to be told would be communicated and every

succeeding day was expected to bring some news of importance

but before they heard again from mr gardiner a letter arrived for

their father from a different quarter from mr collins which as jane

had received directions to open all that came for him in his absence

she accordingly read and elizabeth who knew what curiosities his

letters always were looked over her and read it likewise it was as

follows

my dear sir

i feel myself called upon by our relationship and my situation

in life to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now

suffering under of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from

hertfordshire be assured my dear sir that mrs collins and myself

sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family in

your present distress which must be of the bitterest kind because

proceeding from a cause which no time can remove no arguments shall be

wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortuneor that

may comfort you under a circumstance that must be of all others the

most afflicting to a parents mind the death of your daughter would

have been a blessing in comparison of this and it is the more to

be lamented because there is reason to suppose as my dear charlotte

informs me that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter has

proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence though at the same time

for the consolation of yourself and mrs bennet i am inclined to think

that her own disposition must be naturally bad or she could not be

guilty of such an enormity at so early an age howsoever that may be

you are grievously to be pitied in which opinion i am not only joined

by mrs collins but likewise by lady catherine and her daughter to

whom i have related the affair they agree with me in apprehending that

this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of

all the others for who as lady catherine herself condescendingly says

will connect themselves with such a family and this consideration leads

me moreover to reflect with augmented satisfaction on a certain event

of last november for had it been otherwise i must have been involved

in all your sorrow and disgrace let me then advise you dear sir to

console yourself as much as possible to throw off your unworthy child

from your affection for ever and leave her to reap the fruits of her

own heinous offense

i am dear sir etc etc

mr gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from

colonel forster and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send

it was not known that wickham had a single relationship with whom he

kept up any connection and it was certain that he had no near one

living his former acquaintances had been numerous but since he

had been in the militia it did not appear that he was on terms of

particular friendship with any of them there was no one therefore

who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him and in the

wretched state of his own finances there was a very powerful motive for

secrecy in addition to his fear of discovery by lydias relations for

it had just transpired that he had left gaming debts behind him to a

very considerable amount colonel forster believed that more than a

thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expenses at brighton

he owed a good deal in town but his debts of honour were still more

formidable mr gardiner did not attempt to conceal these particulars

from the longbourn family jane heard them with horror a gamester

she cried this is wholly unexpected i had not an idea of it

mr gardiner added in his letter that they might expect to see their

father at home on the following day which was saturday rendered

spiritless by the illsuccess of all their endeavours he had yielded

to his brotherinlaws entreaty that he would return to his family and

leave it to him to do whatever occasion might suggest to be advisable

for continuing their pursuit when mrs bennet was told of this she did

not express so much satisfaction as her children expected considering

what her anxiety for his life had been before

what is he coming home and without poor lydia she cried sure he

will not leave london before he has found them who is to fight wickham

and make him marry her if he comes away

as mrs gardiner began to wish to be at home it was settled that she

and the children should go to london at the same time that mr bennet

came from it the coach therefore took them the first stage of their

journey and brought its master back to longbourn

mrs gardiner went away in all the perplexity about elizabeth and her

derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world his

name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece and

the kind of halfexpectation which mrs gardiner had formed of their

being followed by a letter from him had ended in nothing elizabeth had

received none since her return that could come from pemberley

the present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for

the lowness of her spirits unnecessary nothing therefore could be

fairly conjectured from that though elizabeth who was by this time

tolerably well acquainted with her own feelings was perfectly aware

that had she known nothing of darcy she could have borne the dread of

lydias infamy somewhat better it would have spared her she thought

one sleepless night out of two

when mr bennet arrived he had all the appearance of his usual

philosophic composure he said as little as he had ever been in the

habit of saying made no mention of the business that had taken him

away and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of

it

it was not till the afternoon when he had joined them at tea that

elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject and then on her briefly

expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured he replied say

nothing of that who should suffer but myself it has been my own doing

and i ought to feel it

you must not be too severe upon yourself replied elizabeth

you may well warn me against such an evil human nature is so prone

to fall into it no lizzy let me once in my life feel how much i have

been to blame i am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression

it will pass away soon enough

do you suppose them to be in london

yes where else can they be so well concealed

and lydia used to want to go to london added kitty

she is happy then said her father drily and her residence there

will probably be of some duration

then after a short silence he continued

lizzy i bear you no illwill for being justified in your advice to me

last may which considering the event shows some greatness of mind

they were interrupted by miss bennet who came to fetch her mothers

tea

this is a parade he cried which does one good it gives such an

elegance to misfortune another day i will do the same i will sit in my

library in my nightcap and powdering gown and give as much trouble as

i can or perhaps i may defer it till kitty runs away

i am not going to run away papa said kitty fretfully if i should

ever go to brighton i would behave better than lydia

you go to brighton i would not trust you so near it as eastbourne

for fifty pounds no kitty i have at last learnt to be cautious and

you will feel the effects of it no officer is ever to enter into

my house again nor even to pass through the village balls will be

absolutely prohibited unless you stand up with one of your sisters

and you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have

spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner

kitty who took all these threats in a serious light began to cry

well well said he do not make yourself unhappy if you are a good

girl for the next ten years i will take you to a review at the end of

them

chapter 49

two days after mr bennets return as jane and elizabeth were walking

together in the shrubbery behind the house they saw the housekeeper

coming towards them and concluding that she came to call them to their

mother went forward to meet her but instead of the expected summons

when they approached her she said to miss bennet i beg your pardon

madam for interrupting you but i was in hopes you might have got some

good news from town so i took the liberty of coming to ask

what do you mean hill we have heard nothing from town

dear madam cried mrs hill in great astonishment dont you know

there is an express come for master from mr gardiner he has been here

this halfhour and master has had a letter

away ran the girls too eager to get in to have time for speech they

ran through the vestibule into the breakfastroom from thence to the

library their father was in neither and they were on the point of

seeking him up stairs with their mother when they were met by the

butler who said

if you are looking for my master maam he is walking towards the

little copse

upon this information they instantly passed through the hall once

more and ran across the lawn after their father who was deliberately

pursuing his way towards a small wood on one side of the paddock

jane who was not so light nor so much in the habit of running as

elizabeth soon lagged behind while her sister panting for breath

came up with him and eagerly cried out

oh papa what newswhat news have you heard from my uncle

yes i have had a letter from him by express

well and what news does it bringgood or bad

what is there of good to be expected said he taking the letter from

his pocket but perhaps you would like to read it

elizabeth impatiently caught it from his hand jane now came up

read it aloud said their father for i hardly know myself what it is

about

gracechurch street monday august 2

my dear brother

at last i am able to send you some tidings of my niece and such as

upon the whole i hope it will give you satisfaction soon after you

left me on saturday i was fortunate enough to find out in what part of

london they were the particulars i reserve till we meet it is enough

to know they are discovered i have seen them both

then it is as i always hoped cried jane they are married

elizabeth read on

i have seen them both they are not married nor can i find there

was any intention of being so but if you are willing to perform the

engagements which i have ventured to make on your side i hope it will

not be long before they are all that is required of you is to assure

to your daughter by settlement her equal share of the five thousand

pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and

my sister and moreover to enter into an engagement of allowing her

during your life one hundred pounds per annum these are conditions

which considering everything i had no hesitation in complying with

as far as i thought myself privileged for you i shall send this by

express that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer you

will easily comprehend from these particulars that mr wickhams

circumstances are not so hopeless as they are generally believed to be

the world has been deceived in that respect and i am happy to say there

will be some little money even when all his debts are discharged to

settle on my niece in addition to her own fortune if as i conclude

will be the case you send me full powers to act in your name throughout

the whole of this business i will immediately give directions to

haggerston for preparing a proper settlement there will not be the

smallest occasion for your coming to town again therefore stay quiet at

longbourn and depend on my diligence and care send back your answer as

fast as you can and be careful to write explicitly we have judged it

best that my niece should be married from this house of which i hope

you will approve she comes to us today i shall write again as soon as

anything more is determined on yours etc

edw gardiner

is it possible cried elizabeth when she had finished can it be

possible that he will marry her

wickham is not so undeserving then as we thought him said her

sister my dear father i congratulate you

and have you answered the letter cried elizabeth

no but it must be done soon

most earnestly did she then entreat him to lose no more time before he

wrote

oh my dear father she cried come back and write immediately

consider how important every moment is in such a case

let me write for you said jane if you dislike the trouble

yourself

i dislike it very much he replied but it must be done

and so saying he turned back with them and walked towards the house

and may i ask said elizabeth but the terms i suppose must be

complied with

complied with i am only ashamed of his asking so little

and they must marry yet he is such a man

yes yes they must marry there is nothing else to be done but there

are two things that i want very much to know one is how much money

your uncle has laid down to bring it about and the other how am i ever

to pay him

money my uncle cried jane what do you mean sir

i mean that no man in his senses would marry lydia on so slight a

temptation as one hundred a year during my life and fifty after i am

gone

that is very true said elizabeth though it had not occurred to me

before his debts to be discharged and something still to remain oh

it must be my uncles doings generous good man i am afraid he has

distressed himself a small sum could not do all this

no said her father wickhams a fool if he takes her with a farthing

less than ten thousand pounds i should be sorry to think so ill of him

in the very beginning of our relationship

ten thousand pounds heaven forbid how is half such a sum to be

repaid

mr bennet made no answer and each of them deep in thought continued

silent till they reached the house their father then went on to the

library to write and the girls walked into the breakfastroom

and they are really to be married cried elizabeth as soon as they

were by themselves how strange this is and for this we are to be

thankful that they should marry small as is their chance of happiness

and wretched as is his character we are forced to rejoice oh lydia

i comfort myself with thinking replied jane that he certainly would

not marry lydia if he had not a real regard for her though our kind

uncle has done something towards clearing him i cannot believe that ten

thousand pounds or anything like it has been advanced he has children

of his own and may have more how could he spare half ten thousand

pounds

if he were ever able to learn what wickhams debts have been said

elizabeth and how much is settled on his side on our sister we shall

exactly know what mr gardiner has done for them because wickham has

not sixpence of his own the kindness of my uncle and aunt can never

be requited their taking her home and affording her their personal

protection and countenance is such a sacrifice to her advantage as

years of gratitude cannot enough acknowledge by this time she is

actually with them if such goodness does not make her miserable now

she will never deserve to be happy what a meeting for her when she

first sees my aunt

we must endeavour to forget all that has passed on either side said

jane i hope and trust they will yet be happy his consenting to

marry her is a proof i will believe that he is come to a right way of

thinking their mutual affection will steady them and i flatter myself

they will settle so quietly and live in so rational a manner as may in

time make their past imprudence forgotten

their conduct has been such replied elizabeth as neither you nor

i nor anybody can ever forget it is useless to talk of it

it now occurred to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood

perfectly ignorant of what had happened they went to the library

therefore and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make

it known to her he was writing and without raising his head coolly

replied

just as you please

may we take my uncles letter to read to her

take whatever you like and get away

elizabeth took the letter from his writingtable and they went up stairs

together mary and kitty were both with mrs bennet one communication

would therefore do for all after a slight preparation for good news

the letter was read aloud mrs bennet could hardly contain herself as

soon as jane had read mr gardiners hope of lydias being soon

married her joy burst forth and every following sentence added to its

exuberance she was now in an irritation as violent from delight as she

had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation to know that her daughter

would be married was enough she was disturbed by no fear for her

felicity nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct

my dear dear lydia she cried this is delightful indeed she will

be married i shall see her again she will be married at sixteen

my good kind brother i knew how it would be i knew he would manage

everything how i long to see her and to see dear wickham too but the

clothes the wedding clothes i will write to my sister gardiner about

them directly lizzy my dear run down to your father and ask him

how much he will give her stay stay i will go myself ring the bell

kitty for hill i will put on my things in a moment my dear dear

lydia how merry we shall be together when we meet

her eldest daughter endeavoured to give some relief to the violence of

these transports by leading her thoughts to the obligations which mr

gardiners behaviour laid them all under

for we must attribute this happy conclusion she added in a great

measure to his kindness we are persuaded that he has pledged himself to

assist mr wickham with money

well cried her mother it is all very right who should do it but

her own uncle if he had not had a family of his own i and my children

must have had all his money you know and it is the first time we have

ever had anything from him except a few presents well i am so happy

in a short time i shall have a daughter married mrs wickham how well

it sounds and she was only sixteen last june my dear jane i am in

such a flutter that i am sure i cant write so i will dictate and

you write for me we will settle with your father about the money

afterwards but the things should be ordered immediately

she was then proceeding to all the particulars of calico muslin and

cambric and would shortly have dictated some very plentiful orders had

not jane though with some difficulty persuaded her to wait till her

father was at leisure to be consulted one days delay she observed

would be of small importance and her mother was too happy to be quite

so obstinate as usual other schemes too came into her head

i will go to meryton said she as soon as i am dressed and tell the

good good news to my sister philips and as i come back i can call

on lady lucas and mrs long kitty run down and order the carriage

an airing would do me a great deal of good i am sure girls can i do

anything for you in meryton oh here comes hill my dear hill have you

heard the good news miss lydia is going to be married and you shall

all have a bowl of punch to make merry at her wedding

mrs hill began instantly to express her joy elizabeth received her

congratulations amongst the rest and then sick of this folly took

refuge in her own room that she might think with freedom

poor lydias situation must at best be bad enough but that it was

no worse she had need to be thankful she felt it so and though in

looking forward neither rational happiness nor worldly prosperity could

be justly expected for her sister in looking back to what they had

feared only two hours ago she felt all the advantages of what they had

gained

chapter 50

mr bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that

instead of spending his whole income he had laid by an annual sum for

the better provision of his children and of his wife if she survived

him he now wished it more than ever had he done his duty in that

respect lydia need not have been indebted to her uncle for whatever

of honour or credit could now be purchased for her the satisfaction of

prevailing on one of the most worthless young men in great britain to be

her husband might then have rested in its proper place

he was seriously concerned that a cause of so little advantage to anyone

should be forwarded at the sole expense of his brotherinlaw and he

was determined if possible to find out the extent of his assistance

and to discharge the obligation as soon as he could

when first mr bennet had married economy was held to be perfectly

useless for of course they were to have a son the son was to join

in cutting off the entail as soon as he should be of age and the widow

and younger children would by that means be provided for five daughters

successively entered the world but yet the son was to come and mrs

bennet for many years after lydias birth had been certain that he

would this event had at last been despaired of but it was then

too late to be saving mrs bennet had no turn for economy and her

husbands love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their

income

five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on mrs bennet and

the children but in what proportions it should be divided amongst the

latter depended on the will of the parents this was one point with

regard to lydia at least which was now to be settled and mr bennet

could have no hesitation in acceding to the proposal before him in

terms of grateful acknowledgment for the kindness of his brother

though expressed most concisely he then delivered on paper his perfect

approbation of all that was done and his willingness to fulfil the

engagements that had been made for him he had never before supposed

that could wickham be prevailed on to marry his daughter it would

be done with so little inconvenience to himself as by the present

arrangement he would scarcely be ten pounds a year the loser by the

hundred that was to be paid them for what with her board and pocket

allowance and the continual presents in money which passed to her

through her mothers hands lydias expenses had been very little within

that sum

that it would be done with such trifling exertion on his side too was

another very welcome surprise for his wish at present was to have as

little trouble in the business as possible when the first transports

of rage which had produced his activity in seeking her were over he

naturally returned to all his former indolence his letter was soon

dispatched for though dilatory in undertaking business he was quick

in its execution he begged to know further particulars of what he

was indebted to his brother but was too angry with lydia to send any

message to her

the good news spread quickly through the house and with proportionate

speed through the neighbourhood it was borne in the latter with decent

philosophy to be sure it would have been more for the advantage

of conversation had miss lydia bennet come upon the town or as the

happiest alternative been secluded from the world in some distant

farmhouse but there was much to be talked of in marrying her and the

goodnatured wishes for her welldoing which had proceeded before from

all the spiteful old ladies in meryton lost but a little of their spirit

in this change of circumstances because with such an husband her misery

was considered certain

it was a fortnight since mrs bennet had been downstairs but on this

happy day she again took her seat at the head of her table and in

spirits oppressively high no sentiment of shame gave a damp to her

triumph the marriage of a daughter which had been the first object

of her wishes since jane was sixteen was now on the point of

accomplishment and her thoughts and her words ran wholly on those

attendants of elegant nuptials fine muslins new carriages and

servants she was busily searching through the neighbourhood for a

proper situation for her daughter and without knowing or considering

what their income might be rejected many as deficient in size and

importance

haye park might do said she if the gouldings could quit itor the

great house at stoke if the drawingroom were larger but ashworth is

too far off i could not bear to have her ten miles from me and as for

pulvis lodge the attics are dreadful

her husband allowed her to talk on without interruption while the

servants remained but when they had withdrawn he said to her mrs

bennet before you take any or all of these houses for your son and

daughter let us come to a right understanding into one house in this

neighbourhood they shall never have admittance i will not encourage the

impudence of either by receiving them at longbourn

a long dispute followed this declaration but mr bennet was firm it

soon led to another and mrs bennet found with amazement and horror

that her husband would not advance a guinea to buy clothes for his

daughter he protested that she should receive from him no mark of

affection whatever on the occasion mrs bennet could hardly comprehend

it that his anger could be carried to such a point of inconceivable

resentment as to refuse his daughter a privilege without which her

marriage would scarcely seem valid exceeded all she could believe

possible she was more alive to the disgrace which her want of new

clothes must reflect on her daughters nuptials than to any sense of

shame at her eloping and living with wickham a fortnight before they

took place

elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had from the distress of

the moment been led to make mr darcy acquainted with their fears for

her sister for since her marriage would so shortly give the

proper termination to the elopement they might hope to conceal its

unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the

spot

she had no fear of its spreading farther through his means there were

few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended

but at the same time there was no one whose knowledge of a sisters

frailty would have mortified her so muchnot however from any fear

of disadvantage from it individually to herself for at any rate

there seemed a gulf impassable between them had lydias marriage been

concluded on the most honourable terms it was not to be supposed that

mr darcy would connect himself with a family where to every other

objection would now be added an alliance and relationship of the

nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned

from such a connection she could not wonder that he would shrink the

wish of procuring her regard which she had assured herself of his

feeling in derbyshire could not in rational expectation survive such a

blow as this she was humbled she was grieved she repented though she

hardly knew of what she became jealous of his esteem when she could no

longer hope to be benefited by it she wanted to hear of him when there

seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence she was convinced that

she could have been happy with him when it was no longer likely they

should meet

what a triumph for him as she often thought could he know that the

proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago would now

have been most gladly and gratefully received he was as generous she

doubted not as the most generous of his sex but while he was mortal

there must be a triumph

she began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who in

disposition and talents would most suit her his understanding and

temper though unlike her own would have answered all her wishes it

was an union that must have been to the advantage of both by her ease

and liveliness his mind might have been softened his manners improved

and from his judgement information and knowledge of the world she

must have received benefit of greater importance

but no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what

connubial felicity really was an union of a different tendency and

precluding the possibility of the other was soon to be formed in their

family

how wickham and lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence

she could not imagine but how little of permanent happiness could

belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions

were stronger than their virtue she could easily conjecture

                              

mr gardiner soon wrote again to his brother to mr bennets

acknowledgments he briefly replied with assurance of his eagerness to

promote the welfare of any of his family and concluded with entreaties

that the subject might never be mentioned to him again the principal

purport of his letter was to inform them that mr wickham had resolved

on quitting the militia

it was greatly my wish that he should do so he added as soon as

his marriage was fixed on and i think you will agree with me in

considering the removal from that corps as highly advisable both on

his account and my nieces it is mr wickhams intention to go into

the regulars and among his former friends there are still some who

are able and willing to assist him in the army he has the promise of an

ensigncy in general s regiment now quartered in the north it

is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom he

promises fairly and i hope among different people where they may each

have a character to preserve they will both be more prudent i have

written to colonel forster to inform him of our present arrangements

and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of mr wickham

in and near brighton with assurances of speedy payment for which i

have pledged myself and will you give yourself the trouble of carrying

similar assurances to his creditors in meryton of whom i shall subjoin

a list according to his information he has given in all his debts i

hope at least he has not deceived us haggerston has our directions

and all will be completed in a week they will then join his regiment

unless they are first invited to longbourn and i understand from mrs

gardiner that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she

leaves the south she is well and begs to be dutifully remembered to

you and her motheryours etc

e gardiner

mr bennet and his daughters saw all the advantages of wickhams removal

from the shire as clearly as mr gardiner could do but mrs bennet

was not so well pleased with it lydias being settled in the north

just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in her company

for she had by no means given up her plan of their residing in

hertfordshire was a severe disappointment and besides it was such a

pity that lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted

with everybody and had so many favourites

she is so fond of mrs forster said she it will be quite shocking

to send her away and there are several of the young men too that she

likes very much the officers may not be so pleasant in general s

regiment

his daughters request for such it might be considered of being

admitted into her family again before she set off for the north

received at first an absolute negative but jane and elizabeth

who agreed in wishing for the sake of their sisters feelings and

consequence that she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents

urged him so earnestly yet so rationally and so mildly to receive her

and her husband at longbourn as soon as they were married that he was

prevailed on to think as they thought and act as they wished and their

mother had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show

her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished to the

north when mr bennet wrote again to his brother therefore he sent

his permission for them to come and it was settled that as soon as

the ceremony was over they should proceed to longbourn elizabeth was

surprised however that wickham should consent to such a scheme and

had she consulted only her own inclination any meeting with him would

have been the last object of her wishes

chapter 51

their sisters wedding day arrived and jane and elizabeth felt for her

probably more than she felt for herself the carriage was sent to

meet them at  and they were to return in it by dinnertime their

arrival was dreaded by the elder miss bennets and jane more especially

who gave lydia the feelings which would have attended herself had she

been the culprit and was wretched in the thought of what her sister

must endure

they came the family were assembled in the breakfast room to receive

them smiles decked the face of mrs bennet as the carriage drove up to

the door her husband looked impenetrably grave her daughters alarmed

anxious uneasy

lydias voice was heard in the vestibule the door was thrown open and

she ran into the room her mother stepped forwards embraced her and

welcomed her with rapture gave her hand with an affectionate smile

to wickham who followed his lady and wished them both joy with an

alacrity which shewed no doubt of their happiness

their reception from mr bennet to whom they then turned was not quite

so cordial his countenance rather gained in austerity and he scarcely

opened his lips the easy assurance of the young couple indeed was

enough to provoke him elizabeth was disgusted and even miss bennet

was shocked lydia was lydia still untamed unabashed wild noisy

and fearless she turned from sister to sister demanding their

congratulations and when at length they all sat down looked eagerly

round the room took notice of some little alteration in it and

observed with a laugh that it was a great while since she had been

there

wickham was not at all more distressed than herself but his manners

were always so pleasing that had his character and his marriage been

exactly what they ought his smiles and his easy address while he

claimed their relationship would have delighted them all elizabeth had

not before believed him quite equal to such assurance but she sat down

resolving within herself to draw no limits in future to the impudence

of an impudent man she blushed and jane blushed but the cheeks of the

two who caused their confusion suffered no variation of colour

there was no want of discourse the bride and her mother could neither

of them talk fast enough and wickham who happened to sit near

elizabeth began inquiring after his acquaintance in that neighbourhood

with a good humoured ease which she felt very unable to equal in her

replies they seemed each of them to have the happiest memories in the

world nothing of the past was recollected with pain and lydia led

voluntarily to subjects which her sisters would not have alluded to for

the world

only think of its being three months she cried since i went away

it seems but a fortnight i declare and yet there have been things

enough happened in the time good gracious when i went away i am sure

i had no more idea of being married till i came back again though i

thought it would be very good fun if i was

her father lifted up his eyes jane was distressed elizabeth looked

expressively at lydia but she who never heard nor saw anything of

which she chose to be insensible gaily continued oh mamma do the

people hereabouts know i am married today i was afraid they might not

and we overtook william goulding in his curricle so i was determined he

should know it and so i let down the sideglass next to him and took

off my glove and let my hand just rest upon the window frame so that

he might see the ring and then i bowed and smiled like anything

elizabeth could bear it no longer she got up and ran out of the room

and returned no more till she heard them passing through the hall to

the dining parlour she then joined them soon enough to see lydia with

anxious parade walk up to her mothers right hand and hear her say

to her eldest sister ah jane i take your place now and you must go

lower because i am a married woman

it was not to be supposed that time would give lydia that embarrassment

from which she had been so wholly free at first her ease and good

spirits increased she longed to see mrs phillips the lucases and

all their other neighbours and to hear herself called mrs wickham

by each of them and in the mean time she went after dinner to show her

ring and boast of being married to mrs hill and the two housemaids

well mamma said she when they were all returned to the breakfast

room and what do you think of my husband is not he a charming man i

am sure my sisters must all envy me i only hope they may have half

my good luck they must all go to brighton that is the place to get

husbands what a pity it is mamma we did not all go

very true and if i had my will we should but my dear lydia i dont

at all like your going such a way off must it be so

oh lord yesthere is nothing in that i shall like it of all

things you and papa and my sisters must come down and see us we

shall be at newcastle all the winter and i dare say there will be some

balls and i will take care to get good partners for them all

i should like it beyond anything said her mother

and then when you go away you may leave one or two of my sisters

behind you and i dare say i shall get husbands for them before the

winter is over

i thank you for my share of the favour said elizabeth but i do not

particularly like your way of getting husbands

their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them mr wickham

had received his commission before he left london and he was to join

his regiment at the end of a fortnight

no one but mrs bennet regretted that their stay would be so short and

she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter and

having very frequent parties at home these parties were acceptable to

all to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did

think than such as did not

wickhams affection for lydia was just what elizabeth had expected

to find it not equal to lydias for him she had scarcely needed her

present observation to be satisfied from the reason of things that

their elopement had been brought on by the strength of her love rather

than by his and she would have wondered why without violently caring

for her he chose to elope with her at all had she not felt certain

that his flight was rendered necessary by distress of circumstances and

if that were the case he was not the young man to resist an opportunity

of having a companion

lydia was exceedingly fond of him he was her dear wickham on every

occasion no one was to be put in competition with him he did every

thing best in the world and she was sure he would kill more birds on

the first of september than any body else in the country

one morning soon after their arrival as she was sitting with her two

elder sisters she said to elizabeth

lizzy i never gave you an account of my wedding i believe you

were not by when i told mamma and the others all about it are not you

curious to hear how it was managed

no really replied elizabeth i think there cannot be too little said

on the subject

la you are so strange but i must tell you how it went off we were

married you know at st clements because wickhams lodgings were in

that parish and it was settled that we should all be there by eleven

oclock my uncle and aunt and i were to go together and the others

were to meet us at the church well monday morning came and i was in

such a fuss i was so afraid you know that something would happen to

put it off and then i should have gone quite distracted and there was

my aunt all the time i was dressing preaching and talking away just as

if she was reading a sermon however i did not hear above one word in

ten for i was thinking you may suppose of my dear wickham i longed

to know whether he would be married in his blue coat

well and so we breakfasted at ten as usual i thought it would never

be over for by the bye you are to understand that my uncle and aunt

were horrid unpleasant all the time i was with them if youll believe

me i did not once put my foot out of doors though i was there a

fortnight not one party or scheme or anything to be sure london was

rather thin but however the little theatre was open well and so

just as the carriage came to the door my uncle was called away upon

business to that horrid man mr stone and then you know when once

they get together there is no end of it well i was so frightened i

did not know what to do for my uncle was to give me away and if we

were beyond the hour we could not be married all day but luckily he

came back again in ten minutes time and then we all set out however

i recollected afterwards that if he had been prevented going the

wedding need not be put off for mr darcy might have done as well

mr darcy repeated elizabeth in utter amazement

oh yeshe was to come there with wickham you know but gracious

me i quite forgot i ought not to have said a word about it i promised

them so faithfully what will wickham say it was to be such a secret

if it was to be secret said jane say not another word on the

subject you may depend upon my seeking no further

oh certainly said elizabeth though burning with curiosity we will

ask you no questions

thank you said lydia for if you did i should certainly tell you

all and then wickham would be angry

on such encouragement to ask elizabeth was forced to put it out of her

power by running away

but to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible or at least

it was impossible not to try for information mr darcy had been at

her sisters wedding it was exactly a scene and exactly among people

where he had apparently least to do and least temptation to go

conjectures as to the meaning of it rapid and wild hurried into her

brain but she was satisfied with none those that best pleased her as

placing his conduct in the noblest light seemed most improbable she

could not bear such suspense and hastily seizing a sheet of paper

wrote a short letter to her aunt to request an explanation of what

lydia had dropt if it were compatible with the secrecy which had been

intended

you may readily comprehend she added what my curiosity must be

to know how a person unconnected with any of us and comparatively

speaking a stranger to our family should have been amongst you at such

a time pray write instantly and let me understand itunless it is

for very cogent reasons to remain in the secrecy which lydia seems

to think necessary and then i must endeavour to be satisfied with

ignorance

not that i shall though she added to herself as she finished

the letter and my dear aunt if you do not tell me in an honourable

manner i shall certainly be reduced to tricks and stratagems to find it

out

janes delicate sense of honour would not allow her to speak to

elizabeth privately of what lydia had let fall elizabeth was glad

of ittill it appeared whether her inquiries would receive any

satisfaction she had rather be without a confidante

chapter 52

elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as

soon as she possibly could she was no sooner in possession of it

than hurrying into the little copse where she was least likely to

be interrupted she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to

be happy for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not

contain a denial

gracechurch street sept 6

my dear niece

i have just received your letter and shall devote this whole morning

to answering it as i foresee that a little writing will not comprise

what i have to tell you i must confess myself surprised by your

application i did not expect it from you dont think me angry

however for i only mean to let you know that i had not imagined such

inquiries to be necessary on your side if you do not choose to

understand me forgive my impertinence your uncle is as much surprised

as i amand nothing but the belief of your being a party concerned

would have allowed him to act as he has done but if you are really

innocent and ignorant i must be more explicit

on the very day of my coming home from longbourn your uncle had a most

unexpected visitor mr darcy called and was shut up with him several

hours it was all over before i arrived so my curiosity was not so

dreadfully racked as yours seems to have been he came to tell mr

gardiner that he had found out where your sister and mr wickham were

and that he had seen and talked with them both wickham repeatedly

lydia once from what i can collect he left derbyshire only one day

after ourselves and came to town with the resolution of hunting for

them the motive professed was his conviction of its being owing to

himself that wickhams worthlessness had not been so well known as to

make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide

in him he generously imputed the whole to his mistaken pride and

confessed that he had before thought it beneath him to lay his private

actions open to the world his character was to speak for itself he

called it therefore his duty to step forward and endeavour to remedy

an evil which had been brought on by himself if he had another

motive i am sure it would never disgrace him he had been some days

in town before he was able to discover them but he had something to

direct his search which was more than we had and the consciousness

of this was another reason for his resolving to follow us

there is a lady it seems a mrs younge who was some time ago

governess to miss darcy and was dismissed from her charge on some cause

of disapprobation though he did not say what she then took a large

house in edwardstreet and has since maintained herself by letting

lodgings this mrs younge was he knew intimately acquainted with

wickham and he went to her for intelligence of him as soon as he got to

town but it was two or three days before he could get from her what he

wanted she would not betray her trust i suppose without bribery and

corruption for she really did know where her friend was to be found

wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival in london and had

she been able to receive them into her house they would have taken up

their abode with her at length however our kind friend procured the

wishedfor direction they were in  street he saw wickham and

afterwards insisted on seeing lydia his first object with her he

acknowledged had been to persuade her to quit her present disgraceful

situation and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed

on to receive her offering his assistance as far as it would go but

he found lydia absolutely resolved on remaining where she was she cared

for none of her friends she wanted no help of his she would not hear

of leaving wickham she was sure they should be married some time or

other and it did not much signify when since such were her feelings

it only remained he thought to secure and expedite a marriage which

in his very first conversation with wickham he easily learnt had never

been his design he confessed himself obliged to leave the regiment

on account of some debts of honour which were very pressing and

scrupled not to lay all the illconsequences of lydias flight on her

own folly alone he meant to resign his commission immediately and as

to his future situation he could conjecture very little about it he

must go somewhere but he did not know where and he knew he should have

nothing to live on

mr darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once though

mr bennet was not imagined to be very rich he would have been able

to do something for him and his situation must have been benefited by

marriage but he found in reply to this question that wickham still

cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in

some other country under such circumstances however he was not likely

to be proof against the temptation of immediate relief

they met several times for there was much to be discussed wickham of

course wanted more than he could get but at length was reduced to be

reasonable

every thing being settled between them mr darcys next step was to

make your uncle acquainted with it and he first called in gracechurch

street the evening before i came home but mr gardiner could not be

seen and mr darcy found on further inquiry that your father was

still with him but would quit town the next morning he did not judge

your father to be a person whom he could so properly consult as your

uncle and therefore readily postponed seeing him till after the

departure of the former he did not leave his name and till the next

day it was only known that a gentleman had called on business

on saturday he came again your father was gone your uncle at home

and as i said before they had a great deal of talk together

they met again on sunday and then i saw him too it was not all

settled before monday as soon as it was the express was sent off to

longbourn but our visitor was very obstinate i fancy lizzy that

obstinacy is the real defect of his character after all he has been

accused of many faults at different times but this is the true one

nothing was to be done that he did not do himself though i am sure and

i do not speak it to be thanked therefore say nothing about it your

uncle would most readily have settled the whole

they battled it together for a long time which was more than either

the gentleman or lady concerned in it deserved but at last your uncle

was forced to yield and instead of being allowed to be of use to his

niece was forced to put up with only having the probable credit of it

which went sorely against the grain and i really believe your letter

this morning gave him great pleasure because it required an explanation

that would rob him of his borrowed feathers and give the praise where

it was due but lizzy this must go no farther than yourself or jane

at most

you know pretty well i suppose what has been done for the young

people his debts are to be paid amounting i believe to considerably

more than a thousand pounds another thousand in addition to her own

settled upon her and his commission purchased the reason why all

this was to be done by him alone was such as i have given above it

was owing to him to his reserve and want of proper consideration that

wickhams character had been so misunderstood and consequently that he

had been received and noticed as he was perhaps there was some truth

in this though i doubt whether his reserve or anybodys reserve

can be answerable for the event but in spite of all this fine talking

my dear lizzy you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would

never have yielded if we had not given him credit for another

interest in the affair

when all this was resolved on he returned again to his friends who

were still staying at pemberley but it was agreed that he should be in

london once more when the wedding took place and all money matters were

then to receive the last finish

i believe i have now told you every thing it is a relation which

you tell me is to give you great surprise i hope at least it will not

afford you any displeasure lydia came to us and wickham had constant

admission to the house he was exactly what he had been when i

knew him in hertfordshire but i would not tell you how little i was

satisfied with her behaviour while she staid with us if i had not

perceived by janes letter last wednesday that her conduct on coming

home was exactly of a piece with it and therefore what i now tell

you can give you no fresh pain i talked to her repeatedly in the most

serious manner representing to her all the wickedness of what she had

done and all the unhappiness she had brought on her family if she

heard me it was by good luck for i am sure she did not listen i was

sometimes quite provoked but then i recollected my dear elizabeth and

jane and for their sakes had patience with her

mr darcy was punctual in his return and as lydia informed you

attended the wedding he dined with us the next day and was to leave

town again on wednesday or thursday will you be very angry with me my

dear lizzy if i take this opportunity of saying what i was never bold

enough to say before how much i like him his behaviour to us has

in every respect been as pleasing as when we were in derbyshire his

understanding and opinions all please me he wants nothing but a little

more liveliness and that if he marry prudently his wife may teach

him i thought him very slyhe hardly ever mentioned your name but

slyness seems the fashion

pray forgive me if i have been very presuming or at least do not

punish me so far as to exclude me from p i shall never be quite happy

till i have been all round the park a low phaeton with a nice little

pair of ponies would be the very thing

but i must write no more the children have been wanting me this half

hour

yours very sincerely

m gardiner

the contents of this letter threw elizabeth into a flutter of spirits

in which it was difficult to determine whether pleasure or pain bore the

greatest share the vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had

produced of what mr darcy might have been doing to forward her sisters

match which she had feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too

great to be probable and at the same time dreaded to be just from the

pain of obligation were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true

he had followed them purposely to town he had taken on himself all

the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research in which

supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and

despise and where he was reduced to meet frequently meet reason

with persuade and finally bribe the man whom he always most wished to

avoid and whose very name it was punishment to him to pronounce he had

done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem her

heart did whisper that he had done it for her but it was a hope shortly

checked by other considerations and she soon felt that even her vanity

was insufficient when required to depend on his affection for herfor

a woman who had already refused himas able to overcome a sentiment so

natural as abhorrence against relationship with wickham brotherinlaw

of wickham every kind of pride must revolt from the connection he had

to be sure done much she was ashamed to think how much but he had

given a reason for his interference which asked no extraordinary

stretch of belief it was reasonable that he should feel he had been

wrong he had liberality and he had the means of exercising it and

though she would not place herself as his principal inducement she

could perhaps believe that remaining partiality for her might assist

his endeavours in a cause where her peace of mind must be materially

concerned it was painful exceedingly painful to know that they were

under obligations to a person who could never receive a return they

owed the restoration of lydia her character every thing to him oh

how heartily did she grieve over every ungracious sensation she had ever

encouraged every saucy speech she had ever directed towards him for

herself she was humbled but she was proud of him proud that in a cause

of compassion and honour he had been able to get the better of himself

she read over her aunts commendation of him again and again it

was hardly enough but it pleased her she was even sensible of some

pleasure though mixed with regret on finding how steadfastly both she

and her uncle had been persuaded that affection and confidence subsisted

between mr darcy and herself

she was roused from her seat and her reflections by some ones

approach and before she could strike into another path she was

overtaken by wickham

i am afraid i interrupt your solitary ramble my dear sister said he

as he joined her

you certainly do she replied with a smile but it does not follow

that the interruption must be unwelcome

i should be sorry indeed if it were we were always good friends and

now we are better

true are the others coming out

i do not know mrs bennet and lydia are going in the carriage to

meryton and so my dear sister i find from our uncle and aunt that

you have actually seen pemberley

she replied in the affirmative

i almost envy you the pleasure and yet i believe it would be too much

for me or else i could take it in my way to newcastle and you saw the

old housekeeper i suppose poor reynolds she was always very fond of

me but of course she did not mention my name to you

yes she did

and what did she say

that you were gone into the army and she was afraid hadnot turned

out well at such a distance as that you know things are strangely

misrepresented

certainly he replied biting his lips elizabeth hoped she had

silenced him but he soon afterwards said

i was surprised to see darcy in town last month we passed each other

several times i wonder what he can be doing there

perhaps preparing for his marriage with miss de bourgh said

elizabeth it must be something particular to take him there at this

time of year

undoubtedly did you see him while you were at lambton i thought i

understood from the gardiners that you had

yes he introduced us to his sister

and do you like her

very much

i have heard indeed that she is uncommonly improved within this year

or two when i last saw her she was not very promising i am very glad

you liked her i hope she will turn out well

i dare say she will she has got over the most trying age

did you go by the village of kympton

i do not recollect that we did

i mention it because it is the living which i ought to have had a

most delightful placeexcellent parsonage house it would have suited

me in every respect

how should you have liked making sermons

exceedingly well i should have considered it as part of my duty

and the exertion would soon have been nothing one ought not to

repinebut to be sure it would have been such a thing for me the

quiet the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas

of happiness but it was not to be did you ever hear darcy mention the

circumstance when you were in kent

i have heard from authority which i thought as good that it was

left you conditionally only and at the will of the present patron

you have yes there was something in that i told you so from the

first you may remember

i did hear too that there was a time when sermonmaking was not

so palatable to you as it seems to be at present that you actually

declared your resolution of never taking orders and that the business

had been compromised accordingly

you did and it was not wholly without foundation you may remember

what i told you on that point when first we talked of it

they were now almost at the door of the house for she had walked fast

to get rid of him and unwilling for her sisters sake to provoke him

she only said in reply with a goodhumoured smile

come mr wickham we are brother and sister you know do not let

us quarrel about the past in future i hope we shall be always of one

mind

she held out her hand he kissed it with affectionate gallantry though

he hardly knew how to look and they entered the house

chapter 53

mr wickham was so perfectly satisfied with this conversation that he

never again distressed himself or provoked his dear sister elizabeth

by introducing the subject of it and she was pleased to find that she

had said enough to keep him quiet

the day of his and lydias departure soon came and mrs bennet was

forced to submit to a separation which as her husband by no means

entered into her scheme of their all going to newcastle was likely to

continue at least a twelvemonth

oh my dear lydia she cried when shall we meet again

oh lord i dont know not these two or three years perhaps

write to me very often my dear

as often as i can but you know married women have never much time for

writing my sisters may write to me they will have nothing else to

do

mr wickhams adieus were much more affectionate than his wifes he

smiled looked handsome and said many pretty things

he is as fine a fellow said mr bennet as soon as they were out of

the house as ever i saw he simpers and smirks and makes love to

us all i am prodigiously proud of him i defy even sir william lucas

himself to produce a more valuable soninlaw

the loss of her daughter made mrs bennet very dull for several days

i often think said she that there is nothing so bad as parting with

ones friends one seems so forlorn without them

this is the consequence you see madam of marrying a daughter said

elizabeth it must make you better satisfied that your other four are

single

it is no such thing lydia does not leave me because she is married

but only because her husbands regiment happens to be so far off if

that had been nearer she would not have gone so soon

but the spiritless condition which this event threw her into was shortly

relieved and her mind opened again to the agitation of hope by an

article of news which then began to be in circulation the housekeeper

at netherfield had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her

master who was coming down in a day or two to shoot there for several

weeks mrs bennet was quite in the fidgets she looked at jane and

smiled and shook her head by turns

well well and so mr bingley is coming down sister for mrs

phillips first brought her the news well so much the better not

that i care about it though he is nothing to us you know and i am

sure i never want to see him again but however he is very welcome

to come to netherfield if he likes it and who knows what may happen

but that is nothing to us you know sister we agreed long ago never to

mention a word about it and so is it quite certain he is coming

you may depend on it replied the other for mrs nicholls was in

meryton last night i saw her passing by and went out myself on purpose

to know the truth of it and she told me that it was certain true he

comes down on thursday at the latest very likely on wednesday she was

going to the butchers she told me on purpose to order in some meat on

wednesday and she has got three couple of ducks just fit to be killed

miss bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing

colour it was many months since she had mentioned his name to

elizabeth but now as soon as they were alone together she said

i saw you look at me today lizzy when my aunt told us of the present

report and i know i appeared distressed but dont imagine it was from

any silly cause i was only confused for the moment because i felt that

i should be looked at i do assure you that the news does not affect

me either with pleasure or pain i am glad of one thing that he comes

alone because we shall see the less of him not that i am afraid of

myself but i dread other peoples remarks

elizabeth did not know what to make of it had she not seen him in

derbyshire she might have supposed him capable of coming there with no

other view than what was acknowledged but she still thought him partial

to jane and she wavered as to the greater probability of his coming

there with his friends permission or being bold enough to come

without it

yet it is hard she sometimes thought that this poor man cannot

come to a house which he has legally hired without raising all this

speculation i will leave him to himself

in spite of what her sister declared and really believed to be her

feelings in the expectation of his arrival elizabeth could easily

perceive that her spirits were affected by it they were more disturbed

more unequal than she had often seen them

the subject which had been so warmly canvassed between their parents

about a twelvemonth ago was now brought forward again

as soon as ever mr bingley comes my dear said mrs bennet you

will wait on him of course

no no you forced me into visiting him last year and promised if i

went to see him he should marry one of my daughters but it ended in

nothing and i will not be sent on a fools errand again

his wife represented to him how absolutely necessary such an attention

would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen on his returning to

netherfield

tis an etiquette i despise said he if he wants our society

let him seek it he knows where we live i will not spend my hours

in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back

again

well all i know is that it will be abominably rude if you do not wait

on him but however that shant prevent my asking him to dine here i

am determined we must have mrs long and the gouldings soon that will

make thirteen with ourselves so there will be just room at table for

him

consoled by this resolution she was the better able to bear her

husbands incivility though it was very mortifying to know that her

neighbours might all see mr bingley in consequence of it before

they did as the day of his arrival drew near

i begin to be sorry that he comes at all said jane to her sister it

would be nothing i could see him with perfect indifference but i can

hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of my mother means well

but she does not know no one can know how much i suffer from what she

says happy shall i be when his stay at netherfield is over

i wish i could say anything to comfort you replied elizabeth but it

is wholly out of my power you must feel it and the usual satisfaction

of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me because you have

always so much

mr bingley arrived mrs bennet through the assistance of servants

contrived to have the earliest tidings of it that the period of anxiety

and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could she counted

the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent

hopeless of seeing him before but on the third morning after his

arrival in hertfordshire she saw him from her dressingroom window

enter the paddock and ride towards the house

her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy jane resolutely

kept her place at the table but elizabeth to satisfy her mother went

to the windowshe lookedshe saw mr darcy with him and sat down

again by her sister

there is a gentleman with him mamma said kitty who can it be

some acquaintance or other my dear i suppose i am sure i do not

know

la replied kitty it looks just like that man that used to be with

him before mr whatshisname that tall proud man

good gracious mr darcyand so it does i vow well any friend of

mr bingleys will always be welcome here to be sure but else i must

say that i hate the very sight of him

jane looked at elizabeth with surprise and concern she knew but little

of their meeting in derbyshire and therefore felt for the awkwardness

which must attend her sister in seeing him almost for the first time

after receiving his explanatory letter both sisters were uncomfortable

enough each felt for the other and of course for themselves and their

mother talked on of her dislike of mr darcy and her resolution to be

civil to him only as mr bingleys friend without being heard by either

of them but elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be

suspected by jane to whom she had never yet had courage to shew mrs

gardiners letter or to relate her own change of sentiment towards him

to jane he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused

and whose merit she had undervalued but to her own more extensive

information he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted

for the first of benefits and whom she regarded herself with an

interest if not quite so tender at least as reasonable and just as

what jane felt for bingley her astonishment at his comingat his

coming to netherfield to longbourn and voluntarily seeking her again

was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered

behaviour in derbyshire

the colour which had been driven from her face returned for half a

minute with an additional glow and a smile of delight added lustre to

her eyes as she thought for that space of time that his affection and

wishes must still be unshaken but she would not be secure

let me first see how he behaves said she it will then be early

enough for expectation

she sat intently at work striving to be composed and without daring to

lift up her eyes till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of

her sister as the servant was approaching the door jane looked a little

paler than usual but more sedate than elizabeth had expected on the

gentlemens appearing her colour increased yet she received them with

tolerable ease and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any

symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance

elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow and sat down

again to her work with an eagerness which it did not often command she

had ventured only one glance at darcy he looked serious as usual and

she thought more as he had been used to look in hertfordshire than as

she had seen him at pemberley but perhaps he could not in her mothers

presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt it was a painful but

not an improbable conjecture

bingley she had likewise seen for an instant and in that short period

saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed he was received by mrs

bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed

especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of

her curtsey and address to his friend

elizabeth particularly who knew that her mother owed to the latter

the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy

was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill

applied

darcy after inquiring of her how mr and mrs gardiner did a question

which she could not answer without confusion said scarcely anything he

was not seated by her perhaps that was the reason of his silence but

it had not been so in derbyshire there he had talked to her friends

when he could not to herself but now several minutes elapsed without

bringing the sound of his voice and when occasionally unable to resist

the impulse of curiosity she raised her eyes to his face she as often

found him looking at jane as at herself and frequently on no object but

the ground more thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please than when

they last met were plainly expressed she was disappointed and angry

with herself for being so

could i expect it to be otherwise said she yet why did he come

she was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself and to

him she had hardly courage to speak

she inquired after his sister but could do no more

it is a long time mr bingley since you went away said mrs bennet

he readily agreed to it

i began to be afraid you would never come back again people did say

you meant to quit the place entirely at michaelmas but however i hope

it is not true a great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood

since you went away miss lucas is married and settled and one of my

own daughters i suppose you have heard of it indeed you must have

seen it in the papers it was in the times and the courier i know

though it was not put in as it ought to be it was only said lately

george wickham esq to miss lydia bennet without there being a

syllable said of her father or the place where she lived or anything

it was my brother gardiners drawing up too and i wonder how he came to

make such an awkward business of it did you see it

bingley replied that he did and made his congratulations elizabeth

dared not lift up her eyes how mr darcy looked therefore she could

not tell

it is a delightful thing to be sure to have a daughter well married

continued her mother but at the same time mr bingley it is very

hard to have her taken such a way from me they are gone down to

newcastle a place quite northward it seems and there they are to stay

i do not know how long his regiment is there for i suppose you have

heard of his leaving the shire and of his being gone into the

regulars thank heaven he has some friends though perhaps not so

many as he deserves

elizabeth who knew this to be levelled at mr darcy was in such

misery of shame that she could hardly keep her seat it drew from her

however the exertion of speaking which nothing else had so effectually

done before and she asked bingley whether he meant to make any stay in

the country at present a few weeks he believed

when you have killed all your own birds mr bingley said her mother

i beg you will come here and shoot as many as you please on mr

bennets manor i am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you and

will save all the best of the covies for you

elizabeths misery increased at such unnecessary such officious

attention were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had

flattered them a year ago every thing she was persuaded would be

hastening to the same vexatious conclusion at that instant she felt

that years of happiness could not make jane or herself amends for

moments of such painful confusion

the first wish of my heart said she to herself is never more to

be in company with either of them their society can afford no pleasure

that will atone for such wretchedness as this let me never see either

one or the other again

yet the misery for which years of happiness were to offer no

compensation received soon afterwards material relief from observing

how much the beauty of her sister rekindled the admiration of her

former lover when first he came in he had spoken to her but little

but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention he

found her as handsome as she had been last year as good natured and

as unaffected though not quite so chatty jane was anxious that no

difference should be perceived in her at all and was really persuaded

that she talked as much as ever but her mind was so busily engaged

that she did not always know when she was silent

when the gentlemen rose to go away mrs bennet was mindful of her

intended civility and they were invited and engaged to dine at

longbourn in a few days time

you are quite a visit in my debt mr bingley she added for when

you went to town last winter you promised to take a family dinner with

us as soon as you returned i have not forgot you see and i assure

you i was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep

your engagement

bingley looked a little silly at this reflection and said something of

his concern at having been prevented by business they then went away

mrs bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine

there that day but though she always kept a very good table she did

not think anything less than two courses could be good enough for a man

on whom she had such anxious designs or satisfy the appetite and pride

of one who had ten thousand a year

chapter 54

as soon as they were gone elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits

or in other words to dwell without interruption on those subjects that

must deaden them more mr darcys behaviour astonished and vexed her

why if he came only to be silent grave and indifferent said she

did he come at all

she could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure

he could be still amiable still pleasing to my uncle and aunt when

he was in town and why not to me if he fears me why come hither if

he no longer cares for me why silent teasing teasing man i will

think no more about him

her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach

of her sister who joined her with a cheerful look which showed her

better satisfied with their visitors than elizabeth

now said she that this first meeting is over i feel perfectly

easy i know my own strength and i shall never be embarrassed again by

his coming i am glad he dines here on tuesday it will then be publicly

seen that on both sides we meet only as common and indifferent

acquaintance

yes very indifferent indeed said elizabeth laughingly oh jane

take care

my dear lizzy you cannot think me so weak as to be in danger now

i think you are in very great danger of making him as much in love with

you as ever

                              

they did not see the gentlemen again till tuesday and mrs bennet in

the meanwhile was giving way to all the happy schemes which the good

humour and common politeness of bingley in half an hours visit had

revived

on tuesday there was a large party assembled at longbourn and the two

who were most anxiously expected to the credit of their punctuality

as sportsmen were in very good time when they repaired to the

diningroom elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether bingley would take

the place which in all their former parties had belonged to him by

her sister her prudent mother occupied by the same ideas forbore

to invite him to sit by herself on entering the room he seemed to

hesitate but jane happened to look round and happened to smile it was

decided he placed himself by her

elizabeth with a triumphant sensation looked towards his friend

he bore it with noble indifference and she would have imagined that

bingley had received his sanction to be happy had she not seen his eyes

likewise turned towards mr darcy with an expression of halflaughing

alarm

his behaviour to her sister was such during dinner time as showed an

admiration of her which though more guarded than formerly persuaded

elizabeth that if left wholly to himself janes happiness and his

own would be speedily secured though she dared not depend upon the

consequence she yet received pleasure from observing his behaviour it

gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast for she was in

no cheerful humour mr darcy was almost as far from her as the table

could divide them he was on one side of her mother she knew how little

such a situation would give pleasure to either or make either appear to

advantage she was not near enough to hear any of their discourse but

she could see how seldom they spoke to each other and how formal and

cold was their manner whenever they did her mothers ungraciousness

made the sense of what they owed him more painful to elizabeths mind

and she would at times have given anything to be privileged to tell

him that his kindness was neither unknown nor unfelt by the whole of the

family

she was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity of

bringing them together that the whole of the visit would not pass away

without enabling them to enter into something more of conversation than

the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entrance anxious

and uneasy the period which passed in the drawingroom before the

gentlemen came was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her

uncivil she looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all

her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend

if he does not come to me then said she i shall give him up for

ever

the gentlemen came and she thought he looked as if he would have

answered her hopes but alas the ladies had crowded round the table

where miss bennet was making tea and elizabeth pouring out the coffee

in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her

which would admit of a chair and on the gentlemens approaching one of

the girls moved closer to her than ever and said in a whisper

the men shant come and part us i am determined we want none of them

do we

darcy had walked away to another part of the room she followed him with

her eyes envied everyone to whom he spoke had scarcely patience enough

to help anybody to coffee and then was enraged against herself for

being so silly

a man who has once been refused how could i ever be foolish enough to

expect a renewal of his love is there one among the sex who would not

protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman

there is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings

she was a little revived however by his bringing back his coffee cup

himself and she seized the opportunity of saying

is your sister at pemberley still

yes she will remain there till christmas

and quite alone have all her friends left her

mrs annesley is with her the others have been gone on to scarborough

these three weeks

she could think of nothing more to say but if he wished to converse

with her he might have better success he stood by her however for

some minutes in silence and at last on the young ladys whispering

to elizabeth again he walked away

when the teathings were removed and the cardtables placed the ladies

all rose and elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him

when all her views were overthrown by seeing him fall a victim to her

mothers rapacity for whist players and in a few moments after seated

with the rest of the party she now lost every expectation of pleasure

they were confined for the evening at different tables and she had

nothing to hope but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side

of the room as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself

mrs bennet had designed to keep the two netherfield gentlemen to

supper but their carriage was unluckily ordered before any of the

others and she had no opportunity of detaining them

well girls said she as soon as they were left to themselves what

say you to the day i think every thing has passed off uncommonly well

i assure you the dinner was as well dressed as any i ever saw the

venison was roasted to a turnand everybody said they never saw so

fat a haunch the soup was fifty times better than what we had at the

lucases last week and even mr darcy acknowledged that the partridges

were remarkably well done and i suppose he has two or three french

cooks at least and my dear jane i never saw you look in greater

beauty mrs long said so too for i asked her whether you did not and

what do you think she said besides ah mrs bennet we shall have her

at netherfield at last she did indeed i do think mrs long is as good

a creature as ever livedand her nieces are very pretty behaved girls

and not at all handsome i like them prodigiously

mrs bennet in short was in very great spirits she had seen enough of

bingleys behaviour to jane to be convinced that she would get him at

last and her expectations of advantage to her family when in a happy

humour were so far beyond reason that she was quite disappointed at

not seeing him there again the next day to make his proposals

it has been a very agreeable day said miss bennet to elizabeth the

party seemed so well selected so suitable one with the other i hope we

may often meet again

elizabeth smiled

lizzy you must not do so you must not suspect me it mortifies me

i assure you that i have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an

agreeable and sensible young man without having a wish beyond it i am

perfectly satisfied from what his manners now are that he never had

any design of engaging my affection it is only that he is blessed

with greater sweetness of address and a stronger desire of generally

pleasing than any other man

you are very cruel said her sister you will not let me smile and

are provoking me to it every moment

how hard it is in some cases to be believed

and how impossible in others

but why should you wish to persuade me that i feel more than i

acknowledge

that is a question which i hardly know how to answer we all love to

instruct though we can teach only what is not worth knowing forgive

me and if you persist in indifference do not make me your confidante

chapter 55

a few days after this visit mr bingley called again and alone his

friend had left him that morning for london but was to return home in

ten days time he sat with them above an hour and was in remarkably

good spirits mrs bennet invited him to dine with them but with many

expressions of concern he confessed himself engaged elsewhere

next time you call said she i hope we shall be more lucky

he should be particularly happy at any time etc etc and if she would

give him leave would take an early opportunity of waiting on them

can you come tomorrow

yes he had no engagement at all for tomorrow and her invitation was

accepted with alacrity

he came and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them

dressed in ran mrs bennet to her daughters room in her dressing

gown and with her hair half finished crying out

my dear jane make haste and hurry down he is comemr bingley is

come he is indeed make haste make haste here sarah come to miss

bennet this moment and help her on with her gown never mind miss

lizzys hair

we will be down as soon as we can said jane but i dare say kitty is

forwarder than either of us for she went up stairs half an hour ago

oh hang kitty what has she to do with it come be quick be quick

where is your sash my dear

but when her mother was gone jane would not be prevailed on to go down

without one of her sisters

the same anxiety to get them by themselves was visible again in the

evening after tea mr bennet retired to the library as was his

custom and mary went up stairs to her instrument two obstacles of

the five being thus removed mrs bennet sat looking and winking at

elizabeth and catherine for a considerable time without making any

impression on them elizabeth would not observe her and when at last

kitty did she very innocently said what is the matter mamma what do

you keep winking at me for what am i to do

nothing child nothing i did not wink at you she then sat still

five minutes longer but unable to waste such a precious occasion she

suddenly got up and saying to kitty come here my love i want to

speak to you took her out of the room jane instantly gave a look

at elizabeth which spoke her distress at such premeditation and her

entreaty that she would not give in to it in a few minutes mrs

bennet halfopened the door and called out

lizzy my dear i want to speak with you

elizabeth was forced to go

we may as well leave them by themselves you know said her mother as

soon as she was in the hall kitty and i are going up stairs to sit in

my dressingroom

elizabeth made no attempt to reason with her mother but remained

quietly in the hall till she and kitty were out of sight then returned

into the drawingroom

mrs bennets schemes for this day were ineffectual bingley was every

thing that was charming except the professed lover of her daughter his

ease and cheerfulness rendered him a most agreeable addition to their

evening party and he bore with the illjudged officiousness of the

mother and heard all her silly remarks with a forbearance and command

of countenance particularly grateful to the daughter

he scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper and before he went

away an engagement was formed chiefly through his own and mrs

bennets means for his coming next morning to shoot with her husband

after this day jane said no more of her indifference not a word passed

between the sisters concerning bingley but elizabeth went to bed in

the happy belief that all must speedily be concluded unless mr darcy

returned within the stated time seriously however she felt tolerably

persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentlemans

concurrence

bingley was punctual to his appointment and he and mr bennet spent

the morning together as had been agreed on the latter was much more

agreeable than his companion expected there was nothing of presumption

or folly in bingley that could provoke his ridicule or disgust him into

silence and he was more communicative and less eccentric than the

other had ever seen him bingley of course returned with him to dinner

and in the evening mrs bennets invention was again at work to get

every body away from him and her daughter elizabeth who had a letter

to write went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea

for as the others were all going to sit down to cards she could not be

wanted to counteract her mothers schemes

but on returning to the drawingroom when her letter was finished she

saw to her infinite surprise there was reason to fear that her mother

had been too ingenious for her on opening the door she perceived her

sister and bingley standing together over the hearth as if engaged in

earnest conversation and had this led to no suspicion the faces of

both as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other would

have told it all their situation was awkward enough but hers she

thought was still worse not a syllable was uttered by either and

elizabeth was on the point of going away again when bingley who as

well as the other had sat down suddenly rose and whispering a few

words to her sister ran out of the room

jane could have no reserves from elizabeth where confidence would give

pleasure and instantly embracing her acknowledged with the liveliest

emotion that she was the happiest creature in the world

tis too much she added by far too much i do not deserve it oh

why is not everybody as happy

elizabeths congratulations were given with a sincerity a warmth

a delight which words could but poorly express every sentence of

kindness was a fresh source of happiness to jane but she would not

allow herself to stay with her sister or say half that remained to be

said for the present

i must go instantly to my mother she cried i would not on any

account trifle with her affectionate solicitude or allow her to hear it

from anyone but myself he is gone to my father already oh lizzy to

know that what i have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear

family how shall i bear so much happiness

she then hastened away to her mother who had purposely broken up the

card party and was sitting up stairs with kitty

elizabeth who was left by herself now smiled at the rapidity and ease

with which an affair was finally settled that had given them so many

previous months of suspense and vexation

and this said she is the end of all his friends anxious

circumspection of all his sisters falsehood and contrivance the

happiest wisest most reasonable end

in a few minutes she was joined by bingley whose conference with her

father had been short and to the purpose

where is your sister said he hastily as he opened the door

with my mother up stairs she will be down in a moment i dare say

he then shut the door and coming up to her claimed the good wishes

and affection of a sister elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed

her delight in the prospect of their relationship they shook hands with

great cordiality and then till her sister came down she had to listen

to all he had to say of his own happiness and of janes perfections

and in spite of his being a lover elizabeth really believed all his

expectations of felicity to be rationally founded because they had for

basis the excellent understanding and superexcellent disposition of

jane and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and

himself

it was an evening of no common delight to them all the satisfaction of

miss bennets mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face as

made her look handsomer than ever kitty simpered and smiled and hoped

her turn was coming soon mrs bennet could not give her consent or

speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings

though she talked to bingley of nothing else for half an hour and when

mr bennet joined them at supper his voice and manner plainly showed

how really happy he was

not a word however passed his lips in allusion to it till their

visitor took his leave for the night but as soon as he was gone he

turned to his daughter and said

jane i congratulate you you will be a very happy woman

jane went to him instantly kissed him and thanked him for his

goodness

you are a good girl he replied and i have great pleasure in

thinking you will be so happily settled i have not a doubt of your

doing very well together your tempers are by no means unlike you are

each of you so complying that nothing will ever be resolved on so

easy that every servant will cheat you and so generous that you will

always exceed your income

i hope not so imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be

unpardonable in me

exceed their income my dear mr bennet cried his wife what are you

talking of why he has four or five thousand a year and very likely

more then addressing her daughter oh my dear dear jane i am so

happy i am sure i shant get a wink of sleep all night i knew how it

would be i always said it must be so at last i was sure you could not

be so beautiful for nothing i remember as soon as ever i saw him when

he first came into hertfordshire last year i thought how likely it was

that you should come together oh he is the handsomest young man that

ever was seen

wickham lydia were all forgotten jane was beyond competition her

favourite child at that moment she cared for no other her younger

sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness

which she might in future be able to dispense

mary petitioned for the use of the library at netherfield and kitty

begged very hard for a few balls there every winter

bingley from this time was of course a daily visitor at longbourn

coming frequently before breakfast and always remaining till after

supper unless when some barbarous neighbour who could not be enough

detested had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself

obliged to accept

elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister for

while he was present jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else

but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours

of separation that must sometimes occur in the absence of jane he

always attached himself to elizabeth for the pleasure of talking of

her and when bingley was gone jane constantly sought the same means of

relief

he has made me so happy said she one evening by telling me that he

was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring i had not believed

it possible

i suspected as much replied elizabeth but how did he account for

it

it must have been his sisters doing they were certainly no friends to

his acquaintance with me which i cannot wonder at since he might have

chosen so much more advantageously in many respects but when they see

as i trust they will that their brother is happy with me they will

learn to be contented and we shall be on good terms again though we

can never be what we once were to each other

that is the most unforgiving speech said elizabeth that i ever

heard you utter good girl it would vex me indeed to see you again

the dupe of miss bingleys pretended regard

would you believe it lizzy that when he went to town last november

he really loved me and nothing but a persuasion of my being

indifferent would have prevented his coming down again

he made a little mistake to be sure but it is to the credit of his

modesty

this naturally introduced a panegyric from jane on his diffidence and

the little value he put on his own good qualities elizabeth was pleased

to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend for

though jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world she

knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him

i am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed cried

jane oh lizzy why am i thus singled from my family and blessed

above them all if i could but see you as happy if there were but

such another man for you

if you were to give me forty such men i never could be so happy as

you till i have your disposition your goodness i never can have your

happiness no no let me shift for myself and perhaps if i have very

good luck i may meet with another mr collins in time

the situation of affairs in the longbourn family could not be long a

secret mrs bennet was privileged to whisper it to mrs phillips

and she ventured without any permission to do the same by all her

neighbours in meryton

the bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the

world though only a few weeks before when lydia had first run away

they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune

chapter 56

one morning about a week after bingleys engagement with jane had been

formed as he and the females of the family were sitting together in the

diningroom their attention was suddenly drawn to the window by the

sound of a carriage and they perceived a chaise and four driving up

the lawn it was too early in the morning for visitors and besides the

equipage did not answer to that of any of their neighbours the horses

were post and neither the carriage nor the livery of the servant who

preceded it were familiar to them as it was certain however that

somebody was coming bingley instantly prevailed on miss bennet to avoid

the confinement of such an intrusion and walk away with him into the

shrubbery they both set off and the conjectures of the remaining three

continued though with little satisfaction till the door was thrown

open and their visitor entered it was lady catherine de bourgh

they were of course all intending to be surprised but their

astonishment was beyond their expectation and on the part of mrs

bennet and kitty though she was perfectly unknown to them even

inferior to what elizabeth felt

she entered the room with an air more than usually ungracious made no

other reply to elizabeths salutation than a slight inclination of the

head and sat down without saying a word elizabeth had mentioned her

name to her mother on her ladyships entrance though no request of

introduction had been made

mrs bennet all amazement though flattered by having a guest of such

high importance received her with the utmost politeness after sitting

for a moment in silence she said very stiffly to elizabeth

i hope you are well miss bennet that lady i suppose is your

mother

elizabeth replied very concisely that she was

and that i suppose is one of your sisters

yes madam said mrs bennet delighted to speak to lady catherine

she is my youngest girl but one my youngest of all is lately married

and my eldest is somewhere about the grounds walking with a young man

who i believe will soon become a part of the family

you have a very small park here returned lady catherine after a short

silence

it is nothing in comparison of rosings my lady i dare say but i

assure you it is much larger than sir william lucass

this must be a most inconvenient sitting room for the evening in

summer the windows are full west

mrs bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner and then

added

may i take the liberty of asking your ladyship whether you left mr and

mrs collins well

yes very well i saw them the night before last

elizabeth now expected that she would produce a letter for her from

charlotte as it seemed the only probable motive for her calling but no

letter appeared and she was completely puzzled

mrs bennet with great civility begged her ladyship to take some

refreshment but lady catherine very resolutely and not very politely

declined eating anything and then rising up said to elizabeth

miss bennet there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness

on one side of your lawn i should be glad to take a turn in it if you

will favour me with your company

go my dear cried her mother and show her ladyship about the

different walks i think she will be pleased with the hermitage

elizabeth obeyed and running into her own room for her parasol

attended her noble guest downstairs as they passed through the

hall lady catherine opened the doors into the diningparlour and

drawingroom and pronouncing them after a short survey to be decent

looking rooms walked on

her carriage remained at the door and elizabeth saw that her

waitingwoman was in it they proceeded in silence along the gravel walk

that led to the copse elizabeth was determined to make no effort for

conversation with a woman who was now more than usually insolent and

disagreeable

how could i ever think her like her nephew said she as she looked in

her face

as soon as they entered the copse lady catherine began in the following

manner

you can be at no loss miss bennet to understand the reason of my

journey hither your own heart your own conscience must tell you why i

come

elizabeth looked with unaffected astonishment

indeed you are mistaken madam i have not been at all able to account

for the honour of seeing you here

miss bennet replied her ladyship in an angry tone you ought to

know that i am not to be trifled with but however insincere you may

choose to be you shall not find me so my character has ever been

celebrated for its sincerity and frankness and in a cause of such

moment as this i shall certainly not depart from it a report of a most

alarming nature reached me two days ago i was told that not only your

sister was on the point of being most advantageously married but that

you that miss elizabeth bennet would in all likelihood be soon

afterwards united to my nephew my own nephew mr darcy though i

know it must be a scandalous falsehood though i would not injure him

so much as to suppose the truth of it possible i instantly resolved

on setting off for this place that i might make my sentiments known to

you

if you believed it impossible to be true said elizabeth colouring

with astonishment and disdain i wonder you took the trouble of coming

so far what could your ladyship propose by it

at once to insist upon having such a report universally contradicted

your coming to longbourn to see me and my family said elizabeth

coolly will be rather a confirmation of it if indeed such a report

is in existence

if do you then pretend to be ignorant of it has it not been

industriously circulated by yourselves do you not know that such a

report is spread abroad

i never heard that it was

and can you likewise declare that there is no foundation for it

i do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship you may

ask questions which i shall not choose to answer

this is not to be borne miss bennet i insist on being satisfied has

he has my nephew made you an offer of marriage

your ladyship has declared it to be impossible

it ought to be so it must be so while he retains the use of his

reason but your arts and allurements may in a moment of infatuation

have made him forget what he owes to himself and to all his family you

may have drawn him in

if i have i shall be the last person to confess it

miss bennet do you know who i am i have not been accustomed to such

language as this i am almost the nearest relation he has in the world

and am entitled to know all his dearest concerns

but you are not entitled to know mine nor will such behaviour as this

ever induce me to be explicit

let me be rightly understood this match to which you have the

presumption to aspire can never take place no never mr darcy is

engaged to my daughter now what have you to say

only this that if he is so you can have no reason to suppose he will

make an offer to me

lady catherine hesitated for a moment and then replied

the engagement between them is of a peculiar kind from their infancy

they have been intended for each other it was the favourite wish of

his mother as well as of hers while in their cradles we planned

the union and now at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would

be accomplished in their marriage to be prevented by a young woman of

inferior birth of no importance in the world and wholly unallied to

the family do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends to his

tacit engagement with miss de bourgh are you lost to every feeling of

propriety and delicacy have you not heard me say that from his earliest

hours he was destined for his cousin

yes and i had heard it before but what is that to me if there is

no other objection to my marrying your nephew i shall certainly not

be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to

marry miss de bourgh you both did as much as you could in planning the

marriage its completion depended on others if mr darcy is neither

by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin why is not he to make

another choice and if i am that choice why may not i accept him

because honour decorum prudence nay interest forbid it yes

miss bennet interest for do not expect to be noticed by his family or

friends if you wilfully act against the inclinations of all you will

be censured slighted and despised by everyone connected with him

your alliance will be a disgrace your name will never even be mentioned

by any of us

these are heavy misfortunes replied elizabeth but the wife of mr

darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily

attached to her situation that she could upon the whole have no cause

to repine

obstinate headstrong girl i am ashamed of you is this your gratitude

for my attentions to you last spring is nothing due to me on that

score let us sit down you are to understand miss bennet that i came

here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose nor will

i be dissuaded from it i have not been used to submit to any persons

whims i have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment

that will make your ladyships situation at present more pitiable

but it will have no effect on me

i will not be interrupted hear me in silence my daughter and my

nephew are formed for each other they are descended on the maternal

side from the same noble line and on the fathers from respectable

honourable and ancientthough untitledfamilies their fortune on

both sides is splendid they are destined for each other by the voice of

every member of their respective houses and what is to divide them

the upstart pretensions of a young woman without family connections

or fortune is this to be endured but it must not shall not be if you

were sensible of your own good you would not wish to quit the sphere in

which you have been brought up

in marrying your nephew i should not consider myself as quitting that

sphere he is a gentleman i am a gentlemans daughter so far we are

equal

true you are a gentlemans daughter but who was your mother

who are your uncles and aunts do not imagine me ignorant of their

condition

whatever my connections may be said elizabeth if your nephew does

not object to them they can be nothing to you

tell me once for all are you engaged to him

though elizabeth would not for the mere purpose of obliging lady

catherine have answered this question she could not but say after a

moments deliberation

i am not

lady catherine seemed pleased

and will you promise me never to enter into such an engagement

i will make no promise of the kind

miss bennet i am shocked and astonished i expected to find a more

reasonable young woman but do not deceive yourself into a belief that

i will ever recede i shall not go away till you have given me the

assurance i require

and i certainly never shall give it i am not to be intimidated into

anything so wholly unreasonable your ladyship wants mr darcy to marry

your daughter but would my giving you the wishedfor promise make their

marriage at all more probable supposing him to be attached to me would

my refusing to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cousin

allow me to say lady catherine that the arguments with which you have

supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the

application was illjudged you have widely mistaken my character if

you think i can be worked on by such persuasions as these how far your

nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs i cannot tell

but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine i must beg

therefore to be importuned no farther on the subject

not so hasty if you please i have by no means done to all the

objections i have already urged i have still another to add i am

no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sisters infamous

elopement i know it all that the young mans marrying her was a

patchedup business at the expence of your father and uncles and is

such a girl to be my nephews sister is her husband is the son of his

late fathers steward to be his brother heaven and earthof what are

you thinking are the shades of pemberley to be thus polluted

you can now have nothing further to say she resentfully answered

you have insulted me in every possible method i must beg to return to

the house

and she rose as she spoke lady catherine rose also and they turned

back her ladyship was highly incensed

you have no regard then for the honour and credit of my nephew

unfeeling selfish girl do you not consider that a connection with you

must disgrace him in the eyes of everybody

lady catherine i have nothing further to say you know my sentiments

you are then resolved to have him

i have said no such thing i am only resolved to act in that manner

which will in my own opinion constitute my happiness without

reference to you or to any person so wholly unconnected with me

it is well you refuse then to oblige me you refuse to obey the

claims of duty honour and gratitude you are determined to ruin him in

the opinion of all his friends and make him the contempt of the world

neither duty nor honour nor gratitude replied elizabeth have any

possible claim on me in the present instance no principle of either

would be violated by my marriage with mr darcy and with regard to the

resentment of his family or the indignation of the world if the former

were excited by his marrying me it would not give me one moments

concernand the world in general would have too much sense to join in

the scorn

and this is your real opinion this is your final resolve very well

i shall now know how to act do not imagine miss bennet that your

ambition will ever be gratified i came to try you i hoped to find you

reasonable but depend upon it i will carry my point

in this manner lady catherine talked on till they were at the door of

the carriage when turning hastily round she added i take no leave

of you miss bennet i send no compliments to your mother you deserve

no such attention i am most seriously displeased

elizabeth made no answer and without attempting to persuade her

ladyship to return into the house walked quietly into it herself she

heard the carriage drive away as she proceeded up stairs her mother

impatiently met her at the door of the dressingroom to ask why lady

catherine would not come in again and rest herself

she did not choose it said her daughter she would go

she is a very finelooking woman and her calling here was prodigiously

civil for she only came i suppose to tell us the collinses were

well she is on her road somewhere i dare say and so passing through

meryton thought she might as well call on you i suppose she had

nothing particular to say to you lizzy

elizabeth was forced to give into a little falsehood here for to

acknowledge the substance of their conversation was impossible

chapter 57

the discomposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw

elizabeth into could not be easily overcome nor could she for many

hours learn to think of it less than incessantly lady catherine it

appeared had actually taken the trouble of this journey from rosings

for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed engagement with mr

darcy it was a rational scheme to be sure but from what the report

of their engagement could originate elizabeth was at a loss to imagine

till she recollected that his being the intimate friend of bingley

and her being the sister of jane was enough at a time when the

expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another to supply

the idea she had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her

sister must bring them more frequently together and her neighbours

at lucas lodge therefore for through their communication with the

collinses the report she concluded had reached lady catherine had

only set that down as almost certain and immediate which she had looked

forward to as possible at some future time

in revolving lady catherines expressions however she could not help

feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence of her persisting

in this interference from what she had said of her resolution to

prevent their marriage it occurred to elizabeth that she must meditate

an application to her nephew and how he might take a similar

representation of the evils attached to a connection with her she dared

not pronounce she knew not the exact degree of his affection for his

aunt or his dependence on her judgment but it was natural to suppose

that he thought much higher of her ladyship than she could do and it

was certain that in enumerating the miseries of a marriage with one

whose immediate connections were so unequal to his own his aunt would

address him on his weakest side with his notions of dignity he would

probably feel that the arguments which to elizabeth had appeared weak

and ridiculous contained much good sense and solid reasoning

if he had been wavering before as to what he should do which had often

seemed likely the advice and entreaty of so near a relation might

settle every doubt and determine him at once to be as happy as dignity

unblemished could make him in that case he would return no more lady

catherine might see him in her way through town and his engagement to

bingley of coming again to netherfield must give way

if therefore an excuse for not keeping his promise should come to his

friend within a few days she added i shall know how to understand

it i shall then give over every expectation every wish of his

constancy if he is satisfied with only regretting me when he might

have obtained my affections and hand i shall soon cease to regret him

at all

                              

the surprise of the rest of the family on hearing who their visitor had

been was very great but they obligingly satisfied it with the same

kind of supposition which had appeased mrs bennets curiosity and

elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject

the next morning as she was going downstairs she was met by her

father who came out of his library with a letter in his hand

lizzy said he i was going to look for you come into my room

she followed him thither and her curiosity to know what he had to

tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner

connected with the letter he held it suddenly struck her that it

might be from lady catherine and she anticipated with dismay all the

consequent explanations

she followed her father to the fire place and they both sat down he

then said

i have received a letter this morning that has astonished me

exceedingly as it principally concerns yourself you ought to know its

contents i did not know before that i had two daughters on the brink

of matrimony let me congratulate you on a very important conquest

the colour now rushed into elizabeths cheeks in the instantaneous

conviction of its being a letter from the nephew instead of the aunt

and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained

himself at all or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to

herself when her father continued

you look conscious young ladies have great penetration in such matters

as these but i think i may defy even your sagacity to discover the

name of your admirer this letter is from mr collins

from mr collins and what can he have to say

something very much to the purpose of course he begins with

congratulations on the approaching nuptials of my eldest daughter of

which it seems he has been told by some of the goodnatured gossiping

lucases i shall not sport with your impatience by reading what he says

on that point what relates to yourself is as follows having thus

offered you the sincere congratulations of mrs collins and myself on

this happy event let me now add a short hint on the subject of another

of which we have been advertised by the same authority your daughter

elizabeth it is presumed will not long bear the name of bennet after

her elder sister has resigned it and the chosen partner of her fate may

be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in

this land

can you possibly guess lizzy who is meant by this this young

gentleman is blessed in a peculiar way with every thing the heart of

mortal can most desiresplendid property noble kindred and extensive

patronage yet in spite of all these temptations let me warn my cousin

elizabeth and yourself of what evils you may incur by a precipitate

closure with this gentlemans proposals which of course you will be

inclined to take immediate advantage of

have you any idea lizzy who this gentleman is but now it comes out

my motive for cautioning you is as follows we have reason to imagine

that his aunt lady catherine de bourgh does not look on the match with

a friendly eye

mr darcy you see is the man now lizzy i think i have

surprised you could he or the lucases have pitched on any man within

the circle of our acquaintance whose name would have given the lie

more effectually to what they related mr darcy who never looks at any

woman but to see a blemish and who probably never looked at you in his

life it is admirable

elizabeth tried to join in her fathers pleasantry but could only force

one most reluctant smile never had his wit been directed in a manner so

little agreeable to her

are you not diverted

oh yes pray read on

after mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last

night she immediately with her usual condescension expressed what she

felt on the occasion when it became apparent that on the score of some

family objections on the part of my cousin she would never give her

consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match i thought it my duty

to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin that she and

her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about and not run

hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned mr

collins moreover adds i am truly rejoiced that my cousin lydias sad

business has been so well hushed up and am only concerned that their

living together before the marriage took place should be so generally

known i must not however neglect the duties of my station or refrain

from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young

couple into your house as soon as they were married it was an

encouragement of vice and had i been the rector of longbourn i should

very strenuously have opposed it you ought certainly to forgive them

as a christian but never to admit them in your sight or allow their

names to be mentioned in your hearing that is his notion of christian

forgiveness the rest of his letter is only about his dear charlottes

situation and his expectation of a young olivebranch but lizzy you

look as if you did not enjoy it you are not going to be missish

i hope and pretend to be affronted at an idle report for what do we

live but to make sport for our neighbours and laugh at them in our

turn

oh cried elizabeth i am excessively diverted but it is so

strange

yesthat is what makes it amusing had they fixed on any other man

it would have been nothing but his perfect indifference and your

pointed dislike make it so delightfully absurd much as i abominate

writing i would not give up mr collinss correspondence for any

consideration nay when i read a letter of his i cannot help giving

him the preference even over wickham much as i value the impudence and

hypocrisy of my soninlaw and pray lizzy what said lady catherine

about this report did she call to refuse her consent

to this question his daughter replied only with a laugh and as it had

been asked without the least suspicion she was not distressed by

his repeating it elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her

feelings appear what they were not it was necessary to laugh when she

would rather have cried her father had most cruelly mortified her by

what he said of mr darcys indifference and she could do nothing but

wonder at such a want of penetration or fear that perhaps instead of

his seeing too little she might have fancied too much

chapter 58

instead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend as

elizabeth half expected mr bingley to do he was able to bring darcy

with him to longbourn before many days had passed after lady catherines

visit the gentlemen arrived early and before mrs bennet had time

to tell him of their having seen his aunt of which her daughter sat

in momentary dread bingley who wanted to be alone with jane proposed

their all walking out it was agreed to mrs bennet was not in the

habit of walking mary could never spare time but the remaining five

set off together bingley and jane however soon allowed the others

to outstrip them they lagged behind while elizabeth kitty and darcy

were to entertain each other very little was said by either kitty

was too much afraid of him to talk elizabeth was secretly forming a

desperate resolution and perhaps he might be doing the same

they walked towards the lucases because kitty wished to call upon

maria and as elizabeth saw no occasion for making it a general concern

when kitty left them she went boldly on with him alone now was the

moment for her resolution to be executed and while her courage was

high she immediately said

mr darcy i am a very selfish creature and for the sake of giving

relief to my own feelings care not how much i may be wounding yours i

can no longer help thanking you for your unexampled kindness to my

poor sister ever since i have known it i have been most anxious to

acknowledge to you how gratefully i feel it were it known to the rest

of my family i should not have merely my own gratitude to express

i am sorry exceedingly sorry replied darcy in a tone of surprise

and emotion that you have ever been informed of what may in a

mistaken light have given you uneasiness i did not think mrs gardiner

was so little to be trusted

you must not blame my aunt lydias thoughtlessness first betrayed to

me that you had been concerned in the matter and of course i could

not rest till i knew the particulars let me thank you again and again

in the name of all my family for that generous compassion which induced

you to take so much trouble and bear so many mortifications for the

sake of discovering them

if you will thank me he replied let it be for yourself alone

that the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other

inducements which led me on i shall not attempt to deny but your

family owe me nothing much as i respect them i believe i thought

only of you

elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word after a short pause

her companion added you are too generous to trifle with me if your

feelings are still what they were last april tell me so at once my

affections and wishes are unchanged but one word from you will silence

me on this subject for ever

elizabeth feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of

his situation now forced herself to speak and immediately though not

very fluently gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone

so material a change since the period to which he alluded as to make

her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances the

happiness which this reply produced was such as he had probably never

felt before and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly and as

warmly as a man violently in love can be supposed to do had elizabeth

been able to encounter his eye she might have seen how well the

expression of heartfelt delight diffused over his face became him

but though she could not look she could listen and he told her of

feelings which in proving of what importance she was to him made his

affection every moment more valuable

they walked on without knowing in what direction there was too much to

be thought and felt and said for attention to any other objects she

soon learnt that they were indebted for their present good understanding

to the efforts of his aunt who did call on him in her return through

london and there relate her journey to longbourn its motive and the

substance of her conversation with elizabeth dwelling emphatically on

every expression of the latter which in her ladyships apprehension

peculiarly denoted her perverseness and assurance in the belief that

such a relation must assist her endeavours to obtain that promise

from her nephew which she had refused to give but unluckily for her

ladyship its effect had been exactly contrariwise

it taught me to hope said he as i had scarcely ever allowed myself

to hope before i knew enough of your disposition to be certain that

had you been absolutely irrevocably decided against me you would have

acknowledged it to lady catherine frankly and openly

elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied yes you know enough

of my frankness to believe me capable of that after abusing you so

abominably to your face i could have no scruple in abusing you to all

your relations

what did you say of me that i did not deserve for though your

accusations were illfounded formed on mistaken premises my

behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof it was

unpardonable i cannot think of it without abhorrence

we will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that

evening said elizabeth the conduct of neither if strictly examined

will be irreproachable but since then we have both i hope improved

in civility

i cannot be so easily reconciled to myself the recollection of what i

then said of my conduct my manners my expressions during the whole of

it is now and has been many months inexpressibly painful to me your

reproof so well applied i shall never forget had you behaved in a

more gentlemanlike manner those were your words you know not you can

scarcely conceive how they have tortured methough it was some time

i confess before i was reasonable enough to allow their justice

i was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an

impression i had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such

a way

i can easily believe it you thought me then devoid of every proper

feeling i am sure you did the turn of your countenance i shall never

forget as you said that i could not have addressed you in any possible

way that would induce you to accept me

oh do not repeat what i then said these recollections will not do at

all i assure you that i have long been most heartily ashamed of it

darcy mentioned his letter did it said he did it soon make you

think better of me did you on reading it give any credit to its

contents

she explained what its effect on her had been and how gradually all her

former prejudices had been removed

i knew said he that what i wrote must give you pain but it was

necessary i hope you have destroyed the letter there was one part

especially the opening of it which i should dread your having the

power of reading again i can remember some expressions which might

justly make you hate me

the letter shall certainly be burnt if you believe it essential to the

preservation of my regard but though we have both reason to think my

opinions not entirely unalterable they are not i hope quite so easily

changed as that implies

when i wrote that letter replied darcy i believed myself perfectly

calm and cool but i am since convinced that it was written in a

dreadful bitterness of spirit

the letter perhaps began in bitterness but it did not end so the

adieu is charity itself but think no more of the letter the feelings

of the person who wrote and the person who received it are now

so widely different from what they were then that every unpleasant

circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten you must learn some

of my philosophy think only of the past as its remembrance gives you

pleasure

i cannot give you credit for any philosophy of the kind your

retrospections must be so totally void of reproach that the contentment

arising from them is not of philosophy but what is much better of

innocence but with me it is not so painful recollections will intrude

which cannot which ought not to be repelled i have been a selfish

being all my life in practice though not in principle as a child i

was taught what was right but i was not taught to correct my temper i

was given good principles but left to follow them in pride and conceit

unfortunately an only son for many years an only child i was spoilt

by my parents who though good themselves my father particularly all

that was benevolent and amiable allowed encouraged almost taught

me to be selfish and overbearing to care for none beyond my own family

circle to think meanly of all the rest of the world to wish at least

to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own such i

was from eight to eight and twenty and such i might still have been

but for you dearest loveliest elizabeth what do i not owe you you

taught me a lesson hard indeed at first but most advantageous by you

i was properly humbled i came to you without a doubt of my reception

you showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman

worthy of being pleased

had you then persuaded yourself that i should

indeed i had what will you think of my vanity i believed you to be

wishing expecting my addresses

my manners must have been in fault but not intentionally i assure

you i never meant to deceive you but my spirits might often lead me

wrong how you must have hated me after that evening

hate you i was angry perhaps at first but my anger soon began to take

a proper direction

i am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me when we met at

pemberley you blamed me for coming

no indeed i felt nothing but surprise

your surprise could not be greater than mine in being noticed by you

my conscience told me that i deserved no extraordinary politeness and i

confess that i did not expect to receive more than my due

my object then replied darcy was to show you by every civility in

my power that i was not so mean as to resent the past and i hoped to

obtain your forgiveness to lessen your ill opinion by letting you

see that your reproofs had been attended to how soon any other wishes

introduced themselves i can hardly tell but i believe in about half an

hour after i had seen you

he then told her of georgianas delight in her acquaintance and of her

disappointment at its sudden interruption which naturally leading to

the cause of that interruption she soon learnt that his resolution of

following her from derbyshire in quest of her sister had been formed

before he quitted the inn and that his gravity and thoughtfulness

there had arisen from no other struggles than what such a purpose must

comprehend

she expressed her gratitude again but it was too painful a subject to

each to be dwelt on farther

after walking several miles in a leisurely manner and too busy to know

anything about it they found at last on examining their watches that

it was time to be at home

what could become of mr bingley and jane was a wonder which

introduced the discussion of their affairs darcy was delighted with

their engagement his friend had given him the earliest information of

it

i must ask whether you were surprised said elizabeth

not at all when i went away i felt that it would soon happen

that is to say you had given your permission i guessed as much and

though he exclaimed at the term she found that it had been pretty much

the case

on the evening before my going to london said he i made a

confession to him which i believe i ought to have made long ago i

told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference in his

affairs absurd and impertinent his surprise was great he had never had

the slightest suspicion i told him moreover that i believed myself

mistaken in supposing as i had done that your sister was indifferent

to him and as i could easily perceive that his attachment to her was

unabated i felt no doubt of their happiness together

elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing his

friend

did you speak from your own observation said she when you told him

that my sister loved him or merely from my information last spring

from the former i had narrowly observed her during the two visits

which i had lately made here and i was convinced of her affection

and your assurance of it i suppose carried immediate conviction to

him

it did bingley is most unaffectedly modest his diffidence had

prevented his depending on his own judgment in so anxious a case but

his reliance on mine made every thing easy i was obliged to confess

one thing which for a time and not unjustly offended him i could not

allow myself to conceal that your sister had been in town three months

last winter that i had known it and purposely kept it from him he was

angry but his anger i am persuaded lasted no longer than he remained

in any doubt of your sisters sentiments he has heartily forgiven me

now

elizabeth longed to observe that mr bingley had been a most delightful

friend so easily guided that his worth was invaluable but she checked

herself she remembered that he had yet to learn to be laughed at

and it was rather too early to begin in anticipating the happiness

of bingley which of course was to be inferior only to his own he

continued the conversation till they reached the house in the hall they

parted

chapter 59

my dear lizzy where can you have been walking to was a question

which elizabeth received from jane as soon as she entered their room

and from all the others when they sat down to table she had only to

say in reply that they had wandered about till she was beyond her own

knowledge she coloured as she spoke but neither that nor anything

else awakened a suspicion of the truth

the evening passed quietly unmarked by anything extraordinary the

acknowledged lovers talked and laughed the unacknowledged were silent

darcy was not of a disposition in which happiness overflows in mirth

and elizabeth agitated and confused rather knew that she was happy

than felt herself to be so for besides the immediate embarrassment

there were other evils before her she anticipated what would be felt

in the family when her situation became known she was aware that no

one liked him but jane and even feared that with the others it was a

dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away

at night she opened her heart to jane though suspicion was very far

from miss bennets general habits she was absolutely incredulous here

you are joking lizzy this cannot beengaged to mr darcy no no

you shall not deceive me i know it to be impossible

this is a wretched beginning indeed my sole dependence was on you and

i am sure nobody else will believe me if you do not yet indeed i am

in earnest i speak nothing but the truth he still loves me and we are

engaged

jane looked at her doubtingly oh lizzy it cannot be i know how much

you dislike him

you know nothing of the matter that is all to be forgot perhaps i

did not always love him so well as i do now but in such cases as

these a good memory is unpardonable this is the last time i shall ever

remember it myself

miss bennet still looked all amazement elizabeth again and more

seriously assured her of its truth

good heaven can it be really so yet now i must believe you cried

jane my dear dear lizzy i wouldi do congratulate youbut are you

certain forgive the questionare you quite certain that you can be

happy with him

there can be no doubt of that it is settled between us already that

we are to be the happiest couple in the world but are you pleased

jane shall you like to have such a brother

very very much nothing could give either bingley or myself more

delight but we considered it we talked of it as impossible and do you

really love him quite well enough oh lizzy do anything rather than

marry without affection are you quite sure that you feel what you ought

to do

oh yes you will only think i feel more than i ought to do when i

tell you all

what do you mean

why i must confess that i love him better than i do bingley i am

afraid you will be angry

my dearest sister now be serious i want to talk very seriously let

me know every thing that i am to know without delay will you tell me

how long you have loved him

it has been coming on so gradually that i hardly know when it began

but i believe i must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds

at pemberley

another entreaty that she would be serious however produced the

desired effect and she soon satisfied jane by her solemn assurances

of attachment when convinced on that article miss bennet had nothing

further to wish

now i am quite happy said she for you will be as happy as myself

i always had a value for him were it for nothing but his love of you

i must always have esteemed him but now as bingleys friend and your

husband there can be only bingley and yourself more dear to me but

lizzy you have been very sly very reserved with me how little did you

tell me of what passed at pemberley and lambton i owe all that i know

of it to another not to you

elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy she had been unwilling

to mention bingley and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made

her equally avoid the name of his friend but now she would no longer

conceal from her his share in lydias marriage all was acknowledged

and half the night spent in conversation

                              

good gracious cried mrs bennet as she stood at a window the next

morning if that disagreeable mr darcy is not coming here again with

our dear bingley what can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always

coming here i had no notion but he would go ashooting or something or

other and not disturb us with his company what shall we do with him

lizzy you must walk out with him again that he may not be in bingleys

way

elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal yet

was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an

epithet

as soon as they entered bingley looked at her so expressively and

shook hands with such warmth as left no doubt of his good information

and he soon afterwards said aloud mrs bennet have you no more lanes

hereabouts in which lizzy may lose her way again today

i advise mr darcy and lizzy and kitty said mrs bennet to walk

to oakham mount this morning it is a nice long walk and mr darcy has

never seen the view

it may do very well for the others replied mr bingley but i am

sure it will be too much for kitty wont it kitty kitty owned that

she had rather stay at home darcy professed a great curiosity to see

the view from the mount and elizabeth silently consented as she went

up stairs to get ready mrs bennet followed her saying

i am quite sorry lizzy that you should be forced to have that

disagreeable man all to yourself but i hope you will not mind it it is

all for janes sake you know and there is no occasion for talking

to him except just now and then so do not put yourself to

inconvenience

during their walk it was resolved that mr bennets consent should be

asked in the course of the evening elizabeth reserved to herself the

application for her mothers she could not determine how her mother

would take it sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur

would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man but whether she

were violently set against the match or violently delighted with it it

was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit

to her sense and she could no more bear that mr darcy should hear

the first raptures of her joy than the first vehemence of her

disapprobation

                              

in the evening soon after mr bennet withdrew to the library she saw

mr darcy rise also and follow him and her agitation on seeing it was

extreme she did not fear her fathers opposition but he was going to

be made unhappy and that it should be through her meansthat she

his favourite child should be distressing him by her choice should be

filling him with fears and regrets in disposing of herwas a wretched

reflection and she sat in misery till mr darcy appeared again when

looking at him she was a little relieved by his smile in a few minutes

he approached the table where she was sitting with kitty and while

pretending to admire her work said in a whisper go to your father he

wants you in the library she was gone directly

her father was walking about the room looking grave and anxious

lizzy said he what are you doing are you out of your senses to be

accepting this man have not you always hated him

how earnestly did she then wish that her former opinions had been more

reasonable her expressions more moderate it would have spared her from

explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give

but they were now necessary and she assured him with some confusion

of her attachment to mr darcy

or in other words you are determined to have him he is rich to be

sure and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than jane

but will they make you happy

have you any other objection said elizabeth than your belief of my

indifference

none at all we all know him to be a proud unpleasant sort of man but

this would be nothing if you really liked him

i do i do like him she replied with tears in her eyes i love him

indeed he has no improper pride he is perfectly amiable you do not

know what he really is then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in

such terms

lizzy said her father i have given him my consent he is the kind

of man indeed to whom i should never dare refuse anything which he

condescended to ask i now give it to you if you are resolved on

having him but let me advise you to think better of it i know

your disposition lizzy i know that you could be neither happy nor

respectable unless you truly esteemed your husband unless you looked

up to him as a superior your lively talents would place you in the

greatest danger in an unequal marriage you could scarcely escape

discredit and misery my child let me not have the grief of seeing

you unable to respect your partner in life you know not what you are

about

elizabeth still more affected was earnest and solemn in her reply and

at length by repeated assurances that mr darcy was really the object

of her choice by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of

him had undergone relating her absolute certainty that his affection

was not the work of a day but had stood the test of many months

suspense and enumerating with energy all his good qualities she did

conquer her fathers incredulity and reconcile him to the match

well my dear said he when she ceased speaking i have no more to

say if this be the case he deserves you i could not have parted with

you my lizzy to anyone less worthy

to complete the favourable impression she then told him what mr darcy

had voluntarily done for lydia he heard her with astonishment

this is an evening of wonders indeed and so darcy did every thing

made up the match gave the money paid the fellows debts and got him

his commission so much the better it will save me a world of trouble

and economy had it been your uncles doing i must and would have

paid him but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own

way i shall offer to pay him tomorrow he will rant and storm about

his love for you and there will be an end of the matter

he then recollected her embarrassment a few days before on his reading

mr collinss letter and after laughing at her some time allowed her

at last to gosaying as she quitted the room if any young men come

for mary or kitty send them in for i am quite at leisure

elizabeths mind was now relieved from a very heavy weight and after

half an hours quiet reflection in her own room she was able to join

the others with tolerable composure every thing was too recent for

gaiety but the evening passed tranquilly away there was no longer

anything material to be dreaded and the comfort of ease and familiarity

would come in time

when her mother went up to her dressingroom at night she followed her

and made the important communication its effect was most extraordinary

for on first hearing it mrs bennet sat quite still and unable to

utter a syllable nor was it under many many minutes that she could

comprehend what she heard though not in general backward to credit

what was for the advantage of her family or that came in the shape of a

lover to any of them she began at length to recover to fidget about in

her chair get up sit down again wonder and bless herself

good gracious lord bless me only think dear me mr darcy who would

have thought it and is it really true oh my sweetest lizzy how rich

and how great you will be what pinmoney what jewels what carriages

you will have janes is nothing to itnothing at all i am so

pleasedso happy such a charming manso handsome so talloh my

dear lizzy pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before i

hope he will overlook it dear dear lizzy a house in town every thing

that is charming three daughters married ten thousand a year oh

lord what will become of me i shall go distracted

this was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted and

elizabeth rejoicing that such an effusion was heard only by herself

soon went away but before she had been three minutes in her own room

her mother followed her

my dearest child she cried i can think of nothing else ten

thousand a year and very likely more tis as good as a lord and a

special licence you must and shall be married by a special licence but

my dearest love tell me what dish mr darcy is particularly fond of

that i may have it tomorrow

this was a sad omen of what her mothers behaviour to the gentleman

himself might be and elizabeth found that though in the certain

possession of his warmest affection and secure of her relations

consent there was still something to be wished for but the morrow

passed off much better than she expected for mrs bennet luckily stood

in such awe of her intended soninlaw that she ventured not to speak to

him unless it was in her power to offer him any attention or mark her

deference for his opinion

elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get

acquainted with him and mr bennet soon assured her that he was rising

every hour in his esteem

i admire all my three sonsinlaw highly said he wickham perhaps

is my favourite but i think i shall like your husband quite as well

as janes

chapter 60

elizabeths spirits soon rising to playfulness again she wanted mr

darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her how could

you begin said she i can comprehend your going on charmingly when

you had once made a beginning but what could set you off in the first

place

i cannot fix on the hour or the spot or the look or the words which

laid the foundation it is too long ago i was in the middle before i

knew that i had begun

my beauty you had early withstood and as for my mannersmy behaviour

to you was at least always bordering on the uncivil and i never spoke

to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not now be sincere

did you admire me for my impertinence

for the liveliness of your mind i did

you may as well call it impertinence at once it was very little less

the fact is that you were sick of civility of deference of officious

attention you were disgusted with the women who were always speaking

and looking and thinking for your approbation alone i roused and

interested you because i was so unlike them had you not been really

amiable you would have hated me for it but in spite of the pains you

took to disguise yourself your feelings were always noble and just and

in your heart you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously

courted you therei have saved you the trouble of accounting for

it and really all things considered i begin to think it perfectly

reasonable to be sure you knew no actual good of mebut nobody thinks

of that when they fall in love

was there no good in your affectionate behaviour to jane while she was

ill at netherfield

dearest jane who could have done less for her but make a virtue of it

by all means my good qualities are under your protection and you are

to exaggerate them as much as possible and in return it belongs to me

to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may

be and i shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling

to come to the point at last what made you so shy of me when you first

called and afterwards dined here why especially when you called did

you look as if you did not care about me

because you were grave and silent and gave me no encouragement

but i was embarrassed

and so was i

you might have talked to me more when you came to dinner

a man who had felt less might

how unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give and that

i should be so reasonable as to admit it but i wonder how long you

would have gone on if you had been left to yourself i wonder when

you would have spoken if i had not asked you my resolution of

thanking you for your kindness to lydia had certainly great effect

too much i am afraid for what becomes of the moral if our comfort

springs from a breach of promise for i ought not to have mentioned the

subject this will never do

you need not distress yourself the moral will be perfectly fair lady

catherines unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of

removing all my doubts i am not indebted for my present happiness to

your eager desire of expressing your gratitude i was not in a humour

to wait for any opening of yours my aunts intelligence had given me

hope and i was determined at once to know every thing

lady catherine has been of infinite use which ought to make her happy

for she loves to be of use but tell me what did you come down to

netherfield for was it merely to ride to longbourn and be embarrassed

or had you intended any more serious consequence

my real purpose was to see you and to judge if i could whether i

might ever hope to make you love me my avowed one or what i avowed to

myself was to see whether your sister were still partial to bingley

and if she were to make the confession to him which i have since made

shall you ever have courage to announce to lady catherine what is to

befall her

i am more likely to want more time than courage elizabeth but it

ought to be done and if you will give me a sheet of paper it shall be

done directly

and if i had not a letter to write myself i might sit by you and

admire the evenness of your writing as another young lady once did but

i have an aunt too who must not be longer neglected

from an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with mr darcy

had been overrated elizabeth had never yet answered mrs gardiners

long letter but now having that to communicate which she knew would

be most welcome she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and

aunt had already lost three days of happiness and immediately wrote as

follows

i would have thanked you before my dear aunt as i ought to have done

for your long kind satisfactory detail of particulars but to say the

truth i was too cross to write you supposed more than really existed

but now suppose as much as you choose give a loose rein to your

fancy indulge your imagination in every possible flight which the

subject will afford and unless you believe me actually married you

cannot greatly err you must write again very soon and praise him a

great deal more than you did in your last i thank you again and again

for not going to the lakes how could i be so silly as to wish it your

idea of the ponies is delightful we will go round the park every day i

am the happiest creature in the world perhaps other people have said so

before but not one with such justice i am happier even than jane she

only smiles i laugh mr darcy sends you all the love in the world that

he can spare from me you are all to come to pemberley at christmas

yours etc

mr darcys letter to lady catherine was in a different style and still

different from either was what mr bennet sent to mr collins in reply

to his last

dear sir

i must trouble you once more for congratulations elizabeth will soon

be the wife of mr darcy console lady catherine as well as you can

but if i were you i would stand by the nephew he has more to give

yours sincerely etc

miss bingleys congratulations to her brother on his approaching

marriage were all that was affectionate and insincere she wrote even

to jane on the occasion to express her delight and repeat all her

former professions of regard jane was not deceived but she was

affected and though feeling no reliance on her could not help writing

her a much kinder answer than she knew was deserved

the joy which miss darcy expressed on receiving similar information

was as sincere as her brothers in sending it four sides of paper were

insufficient to contain all her delight and all her earnest desire of

being loved by her sister

before any answer could arrive from mr collins or any congratulations

to elizabeth from his wife the longbourn family heard that the

collinses were come themselves to lucas lodge the reason of this

sudden removal was soon evident lady catherine had been rendered

so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephews letter that

charlotte really rejoicing in the match was anxious to get away till

the storm was blown over at such a moment the arrival of her friend

was a sincere pleasure to elizabeth though in the course of their

meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought when she

saw mr darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of

her husband he bore it however with admirable calmness he could even

listen to sir william lucas when he complimented him on carrying away

the brightest jewel of the country and expressed his hopes of their all

meeting frequently at st jamess with very decent composure if he did

shrug his shoulders it was not till sir william was out of sight

mrs phillipss vulgarity was another and perhaps a greater tax on his

forbearance and though mrs phillips as well as her sister stood in

too much awe of him to speak with the familiarity which bingleys good

humour encouraged yet whenever she did speak she must be vulgar

nor was her respect for him though it made her more quiet at all

likely to make her more elegant elizabeth did all she could to shield

him from the frequent notice of either and was ever anxious to keep

him to herself and to those of her family with whom he might converse

without mortification and though the uncomfortable feelings arising

from all this took from the season of courtship much of its pleasure it

added to the hope of the future and she looked forward with delight to

the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing

to either to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at

pemberley

chapter 61

happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which mrs bennet got

rid of her two most deserving daughters with what delighted pride

she afterwards visited mrs bingley and talked of mrs darcy may

be guessed i wish i could say for the sake of her family that the

accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many

of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible

amiable wellinformed woman for the rest of her life though perhaps it

was lucky for her husband who might not have relished domestic felicity

in so unusual a form that she still was occasionally nervous and

invariably silly

mr bennet missed his second daughter exceedingly his affection for her

drew him oftener from home than anything else could do he delighted in

going to pemberley especially when he was least expected

mr bingley and jane remained at netherfield only a twelvemonth so near

a vicinity to her mother and meryton relations was not desirable even to

his easy temper or her affectionate heart the darling wish of his

sisters was then gratified he bought an estate in a neighbouring county

to derbyshire and jane and elizabeth in addition to every other source

of happiness were within thirty miles of each other

kitty to her very material advantage spent the chief of her time with

her two elder sisters in society so superior to what she had generally

known her improvement was great she was not of so ungovernable a

temper as lydia and removed from the influence of lydias example

she became by proper attention and management less irritable less

ignorant and less insipid from the further disadvantage of lydias

society she was of course carefully kept and though mrs wickham

frequently invited her to come and stay with her with the promise of

balls and young men her father would never consent to her going

mary was the only daughter who remained at home and she was necessarily

drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by mrs bennets being quite

unable to sit alone mary was obliged to mix more with the world but

she could still moralize over every morning visit and as she was no

longer mortified by comparisons between her sisters beauty and her own

it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without

much reluctance

as for wickham and lydia their characters suffered no revolution from

the marriage of her sisters he bore with philosophy the conviction that

elizabeth must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude

and falsehood had before been unknown to her and in spite of every

thing was not wholly without hope that darcy might yet be prevailed on

to make his fortune the congratulatory letter which elizabeth received

from lydia on her marriage explained to her that by his wife at least

if not by himself such a hope was cherished the letter was to this

effect

my dear lizzy

i wish you joy if you love mr darcy half as well as i do my dear

wickham you must be very happy it is a great comfort to have you so

rich and when you have nothing else to do i hope you will think of us

i am sure wickham would like a place at court very much and i do not

think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help

any place would do of about three or four hundred a year but however

do not speak to mr darcy about it if you had rather not

yours etc

as it happened that elizabeth had much rather not she endeavoured in

her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind

such relief however as it was in her power to afford by the practice

of what might be called economy in her own private expences she

frequently sent them it had always been evident to her that such an

income as theirs under the direction of two persons so extravagant in

their wants and heedless of the future must be very insufficient to

their support and whenever they changed their quarters either jane or

herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance

towards discharging their bills their manner of living even when the

restoration of peace dismissed them to a home was unsettled in the

extreme they were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap

situation and always spending more than they ought his affection for

her soon sunk into indifference hers lasted a little longer and

in spite of her youth and her manners she retained all the claims to

reputation which her marriage had given her

though darcy could never receive him at pemberley yet for

elizabeths sake he assisted him further in his profession lydia was

occasionally a visitor there when her husband was gone to enjoy himself

in london or bath and with the bingleys they both of them frequently

staid so long that even bingleys good humour was overcome and he

proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone

miss bingley was very deeply mortified by darcys marriage but as she

thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at pemberley she

dropt all her resentment was fonder than ever of georgiana almost as

attentive to darcy as heretofore and paid off every arrear of civility

to elizabeth

pemberley was now georgianas home and the attachment of the sisters

was exactly what darcy had hoped to see they were able to love each

other even as well as they intended georgiana had the highest opinion

in the world of elizabeth though at first she often listened with

an astonishment bordering on alarm at her lively sportive manner of

talking to her brother he who had always inspired in herself a respect

which almost overcame her affection she now saw the object of open

pleasantry her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen

in her way by elizabeths instructions she began to comprehend that

a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not

always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself

lady catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew

and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in

her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement she sent him

language so very abusive especially of elizabeth that for some time

all intercourse was at an end but at length by elizabeths persuasion

he was prevailed on to overlook the offence and seek a reconciliation

and after a little further resistance on the part of his aunt her

resentment gave way either to her affection for him or her curiosity

to see how his wife conducted herself and she condescended to wait

on them at pemberley in spite of that pollution which its woods had

received not merely from the presence of such a mistress but the

visits of her uncle and aunt from the city

with the gardiners they were always on the most intimate terms

darcy as well as elizabeth really loved them and they were both ever

sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who by bringing

her into derbyshire had been the means of uniting them

pride and prejudice

chapter 

it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession

of a good fortune must be in want of a wife

however little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his

first entering a neighbourhood this truth is so well fixed in the minds

of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property

of some one or other of their daughters

my dear mr bennet said his lady to him one day have you heard that

netherfield park is let at last

mr bennet replied that he had not

but it is returned she for mrs long has just been here and she

told me all about it

mr bennet made no answer

do you not want to know who has taken it cried his wife impatiently

you want to tell me and i have no objection to hearing it

this was invitation enough

why my dear you must know mrs long says that netherfield is taken

by a young man of large fortune from the north of england that he came

down on monday in a chaise and four to see the place and was so much

delighted with it that he agreed with mr morris immediately that he

is to take possession before michaelmas and some of his servants are to

be in the house by the end of next week

what is his name

bingley

is he married or single

oh single my dear to be sure a single man of large fortune four or

five thousand a year what a fine thing for our girls

how so how can it affect them

my dear mr bennet replied his wife how can you be so tiresome you

must know that i am thinking of his marrying one of them

is that his design in settling here

design nonsense how can you talk so but it is very likely that he

may fall in love with one of them and therefore you must visit him as

soon as he comes

i see no occasion for that you and the girls may go or you may send

them by themselves which perhaps will be still better for as you are

as handsome as any of them mr bingley may like you the best of the

party

my dear you flatter me i certainly have had my share of beauty but

i do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now when a woman has five

grownup daughters she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty

in such cases a woman has not often much beauty to think of

but my dear you must indeed go and see mr bingley when he comes into

the neighbourhood

it is more than i engage for i assure you

but consider your daughters only think what an establishment it would

be for one of them sir william and lady lucas are determined to

go merely on that account for in general you know they visit no

newcomers indeed you must go for it will be impossible for us to

visit him if you do not

you are overscrupulous surely i dare say mr bingley will be very

glad to see you and i will send a few lines by you to assure him of my

hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls though

i must throw in a good word for my little lizzy

i desire you will do no such thing lizzy is not a bit better than the

others and i am sure she is not half so handsome as jane nor half so

goodhumoured as lydia but you are always giving her the preference

they have none of them much to recommend them replied he they are

all silly and ignorant like other girls but lizzy has something more of

quickness than her sisters

mr bennet how can you abuse your own children in such a way you

take delight in vexing me you have no compassion for my poor nerves

you mistake me my dear i have a high respect for your nerves they

are my old friends i have heard you mention them with consideration

these last twenty years at least

ah you do not know what i suffer

but i hope you will get over it and live to see many young men of four

thousand a year come into the neighbourhood

it will be no use to us if twenty such should come since you will not

visit them

depend upon it my dear that when there are twenty i will visit them

all

mr bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts sarcastic humour

reserve and caprice that the experience of threeandtwenty years had

been insufficient to make his wife understand his character her mind

was less difficult to develop she was a woman of mean understanding

little information and uncertain temper when she was discontented

she fancied herself nervous the business of her life was to get her

daughters married its solace was visiting and news

chapter 

mr bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on mr bingley he

had always intended to visit him though to the last always assuring

his wife that he should not go and till the evening after the visit was

paid she had no knowledge of it it was then disclosed in the following

manner observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat he

suddenly addressed her with

i hope mr bingley will like it lizzy

we are not in a way to know what mr bingley likes said her mother

resentfully since we are not to visit

but you forget mamma said elizabeth that we shall meet him at the

assemblies and that mrs long promised to introduce him

i do not believe mrs long will do any such thing she has two nieces

of her own she is a selfish hypocritical woman and i have no opinion

of her

no more have i said mr bennet and i am glad to find that you do

not depend on her serving you

mrs bennet deigned not to make any reply but unable to contain

herself began scolding one of her daughters

dont keep coughing so kitty for heavens sake have a little

compassion on my nerves you tear them to pieces

kitty has no discretion in her coughs said her father she times

them ill

i do not cough for my own amusement replied kitty fretfully when is

your next ball to be lizzy

tomorrow fortnight

aye so it is cried her mother and mrs long does not come back

till the day before so it will be impossible for her to introduce him

for she will not know him herself

then my dear you may have the advantage of your friend and introduce

mr bingley to her

impossible mr bennet impossible when i am not acquainted with him

myself how can you be so teasing

i honour your circumspection a fortnights acquaintance is certainly

very little one cannot know what a man really is by the end of a

fortnight but if we do not venture somebody else will and after all

mrs long and her neices must stand their chance and therefore as

she will think it an act of kindness if you decline the office i will

take it on myself

the girls stared at their father mrs bennet said only nonsense

nonsense

what can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation cried he do

you consider the forms of introduction and the stress that is laid on

them as nonsense i cannot quite agree with you there what say you

mary for you are a young lady of deep reflection i know and read

great books and make extracts

mary wished to say something sensible but knew not how

while mary is adjusting her ideas he continued let us return to mr

bingley

i am sick of mr bingley cried his wife

i am sorry to hear that but why did not you tell me that before if

i had known as much this morning i certainly would not have called

on him it is very unlucky but as i have actually paid the visit we

cannot escape the acquaintance now

the astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished that of mrs

bennet perhaps surpassing the rest though when the first tumult of joy

was over she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the

while

how good it was in you my dear mr bennet but i knew i should

persuade you at last i was sure you loved your girls too well to

neglect such an acquaintance well how pleased i am and it is such a

good joke too that you should have gone this morning and never said a

word about it till now

now kitty you may cough as much as you choose said mr bennet and

as he spoke he left the room fatigued with the raptures of his wife

what an excellent father you have girls said she when the door was

shut i do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness

or me either for that matter at our time of life it is not so

pleasant i can tell you to be making new acquaintances every day but

for your sakes we would do anything lydia my love though you are

the youngest i dare say mr bingley will dance with you at the next

ball

oh said lydia stoutly i am not afraid for though i am the

youngest im the tallest

the rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would

return mr bennets visit and determining when they should ask him to

dinner

chapter 

not all that mrs bennet however with the assistance of her five

daughters could ask on the subject was sufficient to draw from her

husband any satisfactory description of mr bingley they attacked him

in various wayswith barefaced questions ingenious suppositions and

distant surmises but he eluded the skill of them all and they were at

last obliged to accept the secondhand intelligence of their neighbour

lady lucas her report was highly favourable sir william had been

delighted with him he was quite young wonderfully handsome extremely

agreeable and to crown the whole he meant to be at the next assembly

with a large party nothing could be more delightful to be fond of

dancing was a certain step towards falling in love and very lively

hopes of mr bingleys heart were entertained

if i can but see one of my daughters happily settled at netherfield

said mrs bennet to her husband and all the others equally well

married i shall have nothing to wish for

in a few days mr bingley returned mr bennets visit and sat about

ten minutes with him in his library he had entertained hopes of being

admitted to a sight of the young ladies of whose beauty he had

heard much but he saw only the father the ladies were somewhat more

fortunate for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper

window that he wore a blue coat and rode a black horse

an invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched and already

had mrs bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her

housekeeping when an answer arrived which deferred it all mr bingley

was obliged to be in town the following day and consequently unable

to accept the honour of their invitation etc mrs bennet was quite

disconcerted she could not imagine what business he could have in town

so soon after his arrival in hertfordshire and she began to fear that

he might be always flying about from one place to another and never

settled at netherfield as he ought to be lady lucas quieted her fears

a little by starting the idea of his being gone to london only to get

a large party for the ball and a report soon followed that mr bingley

was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly

the girls grieved over such a number of ladies but were comforted the

day before the ball by hearing that instead of twelve he brought only

six with him from londonhis five sisters and a cousin and when

the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five

altogethermr bingley his two sisters the husband of the eldest and

another young man

mr bingley was goodlooking and gentlemanlike he had a pleasant

countenance and easy unaffected manners his sisters were fine women

with an air of decided fashion his brotherinlaw mr hurst merely

looked the gentleman but his friend mr darcy soon drew the attention

of the room by his fine tall person handsome features noble mien and

the report which was in general circulation within five minutes

after his entrance of his having ten thousand a year the gentlemen

pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man the ladies declared he

was much handsomer than mr bingley and he was looked at with great

admiration for about half the evening till his manners gave a disgust

which turned the tide of his popularity for he was discovered to be

proud to be above his company and above being pleased and not all

his large estate in derbyshire could then save him from having a most

forbidding disagreeable countenance and being unworthy to be compared

with his friend

mr bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal

people in the room he was lively and unreserved danced every dance

was angry that the ball closed so early and talked of giving

one himself at netherfield such amiable qualities must speak for

themselves what a contrast between him and his friend mr darcy danced

only once with mrs hurst and once with miss bingley declined being

introduced to any other lady and spent the rest of the evening in

walking about the room speaking occasionally to one of his own party

his character was decided he was the proudest most disagreeable man

in the world and everybody hoped that he would never come there again

amongst the most violent against him was mrs bennet whose dislike of

his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his

having slighted one of her daughters

elizabeth bennet had been obliged by the scarcity of gentlemen to sit

down for two dances and during part of that time mr darcy had been

standing near enough for her to hear a conversation between him and mr

bingley who came from the dance for a few minutes to press his friend

to join it

come darcy said he i must have you dance i hate to see you

standing about by yourself in this stupid manner you had much better

dance

i certainly shall not you know how i detest it unless i am

particularly acquainted with my partner at such an assembly as this

it would be insupportable your sisters are engaged and there is not

another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to

stand up with

i would not be so fastidious as you are cried mr bingley for a

kingdom upon my honour i never met with so many pleasant girls in

my life as i have this evening and there are several of them you see

uncommonly pretty

you are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room said mr

darcy looking at the eldest miss bennet

oh she is the most beautiful creature i ever beheld but there is one

of her sisters sitting down just behind you who is very pretty and i

dare say very agreeable do let me ask my partner to introduce you

which do you mean and turning round he looked for a moment at

elizabeth till catching her eye he withdrew his own and coldly said

she is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me i am in no

humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted

by other men you had better return to your partner and enjoy her

smiles for you are wasting your time with me

mr bingley followed his advice mr darcy walked off and elizabeth

remained with no very cordial feelings toward him she told the story

however with great spirit among her friends for she had a lively

playful disposition which delighted in anything ridiculous

the evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family mrs

bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the netherfield

party mr bingley had danced with her twice and she had been

distinguished by his sisters jane was as much gratified by this as

her mother could be though in a quieter way elizabeth felt janes

pleasure mary had heard herself mentioned to miss bingley as the most

accomplished girl in the neighbourhood and catherine and lydia had been

fortunate enough never to be without partners which was all that they

had yet learnt to care for at a ball they returned therefore in good

spirits to longbourn the village where they lived and of which they

were the principal inhabitants they found mr bennet still up with

a book he was regardless of time and on the present occasion he had a

good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised

such splendid expectations he had rather hoped that his wifes views on

the stranger would be disappointed but he soon found out that he had a

different story to hear

oh my dear mr bennet as she entered the room we have had a most

delightful evening a most excellent ball i wish you had been there

jane was so admired nothing could be like it everybody said how well

she looked and mr bingley thought her quite beautiful and danced with

her twice only think of that my dear he actually danced with her

twice and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second

time first of all he asked miss lucas i was so vexed to see him stand

up with her but however he did not admire her at all indeed nobody

can you know and he seemed quite struck with jane as she was going

down the dance so he inquired who she was and got introduced and

asked her for the two next then the two third he danced with miss king

and the two fourth with maria lucas and the two fifth with jane again

and the two sixth with lizzy and the boulanger

if he had had any compassion for me cried her husband impatiently

he would not have danced half so much for gods sake say no more of

his partners oh that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance

oh my dear i am quite delighted with him he is so excessively

handsome and his sisters are charming women i never in my life saw

anything more elegant than their dresses i dare say the lace upon mrs

hursts gown

here she was interrupted again mr bennet protested against any

description of finery she was therefore obliged to seek another branch

of the subject and related with much bitterness of spirit and some

exaggeration the shocking rudeness of mr darcy

but i can assure you she added that lizzy does not lose much by not

suiting his fancy for he is a most disagreeable horrid man not at

all worth pleasing so high and so conceited that there was no enduring

him he walked here and he walked there fancying himself so very

great not handsome enough to dance with i wish you had been there my

dear to have given him one of your setdowns i quite detest the man

chapter 

when jane and elizabeth were alone the former who had been cautious in

her praise of mr bingley before expressed to her sister just how very

much she admired him

he is just what a young man ought to be said she sensible

goodhumoured lively and i never saw such happy mannersso much

ease with such perfect good breeding

he is also handsome replied elizabeth which a young man ought

likewise to be if he possibly can his character is thereby complete

i was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time i

did not expect such a compliment

did not you i did for you but that is one great difference between

us compliments always take you by surprise and me never what

could be more natural than his asking you again he could not help

seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman

in the room no thanks to his gallantry for that well he certainly is

very agreeable and i give you leave to like him you have liked many a

stupider person

dear lizzy

oh you are a great deal too apt you know to like people in general

you never see a fault in anybody all the world are good and agreeable

in your eyes i never heard you speak ill of a human being in your

life

i would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone but i always speak

what i think

i know you do and it is that which makes the wonder with your

good sense to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of

others affectation of candour is common enoughone meets with it

everywhere but to be candid without ostentation or designto take the

good of everybodys character and make it still better and say nothing

of the badbelongs to you alone and so you like this mans sisters

too do you their manners are not equal to his

certainly notat first but they are very pleasing women when you

converse with them miss bingley is to live with her brother and keep

his house and i am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming

neighbour in her

elizabeth listened in silence but was not convinced their behaviour at

the assembly had not been calculated to please in general and with more

quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister

and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself she

was very little disposed to approve them they were in fact very fine

ladies not deficient in good humour when they were pleased nor in the

power of making themselves agreeable when they chose it but proud and

conceited they were rather handsome had been educated in one of the

first private seminaries in town had a fortune of twenty thousand

pounds were in the habit of spending more than they ought and of

associating with people of rank and were therefore in every respect

entitled to think well of themselves and meanly of others they were of

a respectable family in the north of england a circumstance more deeply

impressed on their memories than that their brothers fortune and their

own had been acquired by trade

mr bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred

thousand pounds from his father who had intended to purchase an

estate but did not live to do it mr bingley intended it likewise and

sometimes made choice of his county but as he was now provided with a

good house and the liberty of a manor it was doubtful to many of those

who best knew the easiness of his temper whether he might not spend the

remainder of his days at netherfield and leave the next generation to

purchase

his sisters were anxious for his having an estate of his own but

though he was now only established as a tenant miss bingley was by no

means unwilling to preside at his tablenor was mrs hurst who had

married a man of more fashion than fortune less disposed to consider

his house as her home when it suited her mr bingley had not been of

age two years when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation

to look at netherfield house he did look at it and into it for

halfanhourwas pleased with the situation and the principal

rooms satisfied with what the owner said in its praise and took it

immediately

between him and darcy there was a very steady friendship in spite of

great opposition of character bingley was endeared to darcy by the

easiness openness and ductility of his temper though no disposition

could offer a greater contrast to his own and though with his own he

never appeared dissatisfied on the strength of darcys regard bingley

had the firmest reliance and of his judgement the highest opinion

in understanding darcy was the superior bingley was by no means

deficient but darcy was clever he was at the same time haughty

reserved and fastidious and his manners though wellbred were not

inviting in that respect his friend had greatly the advantage bingley

was sure of being liked wherever he appeared darcy was continually

giving offense

the manner in which they spoke of the meryton assembly was sufficiently

characteristic bingley had never met with more pleasant people or

prettier girls in his life everybody had been most kind and attentive

to him there had been no formality no stiffness he had soon felt

acquainted with all the room and as to miss bennet he could not

conceive an angel more beautiful darcy on the contrary had seen a

collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion for

none of whom he had felt the smallest interest and from none received

either attention or pleasure miss bennet he acknowledged to be pretty

but she smiled too much

mrs hurst and her sister allowed it to be sobut still they admired

her and liked her and pronounced her to be a sweet girl and one

whom they would not object to know more of miss bennet was therefore

established as a sweet girl and their brother felt authorized by such

commendation to think of her as he chose

chapter 

within a short walk of longbourn lived a family with whom the bennets

were particularly intimate sir william lucas had been formerly in trade

in meryton where he had made a tolerable fortune and risen to the

honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty

the distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly it had given him a

disgust to his business and to his residence in a small market town

and in quitting them both he had removed with his family to a house

about a mile from meryton denominated from that period lucas lodge

where he could think with pleasure of his own importance and

unshackled by business occupy himself solely in being civil to all

the world for though elated by his rank it did not render him

supercilious on the contrary he was all attention to everybody by

nature inoffensive friendly and obliging his presentation at st

jamess had made him courteous

lady lucas was a very good kind of woman not too clever to be a

valuable neighbour to mrs bennet they had several children the eldest

of them a sensible intelligent young woman about twentyseven was

elizabeths intimate friend

that the miss lucases and the miss bennets should meet to talk over

a ball was absolutely necessary and the morning after the assembly

brought the former to longbourn to hear and to communicate

you began the evening well charlotte said mrs bennet with civil

selfcommand to miss lucas you were mr bingleys first choice

yes but he seemed to like his second better

oh you mean jane i suppose because he danced with her twice to be

sure that did seem as if he admired herindeed i rather believe he

didi heard something about itbut i hardly know whatsomething

about mr robinson

perhaps you mean what i overheard between him and mr robinson did not

i mention it to you mr robinsons asking him how he liked our meryton

assemblies and whether he did not think there were a great many

pretty women in the room and which he thought the prettiest and his

answering immediately to the last question oh the eldest miss bennet

beyond a doubt there cannot be two opinions on that point

upon my word well that is very decided indeedthat does seem as

ifbut however it may all come to nothing you know

my overhearings were more to the purpose than yours eliza said

charlotte mr darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend

is hepoor elizato be only just tolerable

i beg you would not put it into lizzys head to be vexed by his

illtreatment for he is such a disagreeable man that it would be quite

a misfortune to be liked by him mrs long told me last night that he

sat close to her for halfanhour without once opening his lips

are you quite sure maamis not there a little mistake said jane

i certainly saw mr darcy speaking to her

ayebecause she asked him at last how he liked netherfield and he

could not help answering her but she said he seemed quite angry at

being spoke to

miss bingley told me said jane that he never speaks much

unless among his intimate acquaintances with them he is remarkably

agreeable

i do not believe a word of it my dear if he had been so very

agreeable he would have talked to mrs long but i can guess how it

was everybody says that he is eat up with pride and i dare say he had

heard somehow that mrs long does not keep a carriage and had come to

the ball in a hack chaise

i do not mind his not talking to mrs long said miss lucas but i

wish he had danced with eliza

another time lizzy said her mother i would not dance with him

if i were you

i believe maam i may safely promise you never to dance with him

his pride said miss lucas does not offend me so much as pride

often does because there is an excuse for it one cannot wonder that so

very fine a young man with family fortune everything in his favour

should think highly of himself if i may so express it he has a right

to be proud

that is very true replied elizabeth and i could easily forgive

his pride if he had not mortified mine

pride observed mary who piqued herself upon the solidity of her

reflections is a very common failing i believe by all that i have

ever read i am convinced that it is very common indeed that human

nature is particularly prone to it and that there are very few of us

who do not cherish a feeling of selfcomplacency on the score of some

quality or other real or imaginary vanity and pride are different

things though the words are often used synonymously a person may

be proud without being vain pride relates more to our opinion of

ourselves vanity to what we would have others think of us

if i were as rich as mr darcy cried a young lucas who came with

his sisters i should not care how proud i was i would keep a pack of

foxhounds and drink a bottle of wine a day

then you would drink a great deal more than you ought said mrs

bennet and if i were to see you at it i should take away your bottle

directly

the boy protested that she should not she continued to declare that she

would and the argument ended only with the visit

chapter 

the ladies of longbourn soon waited on those of netherfield the visit

was soon returned in due form miss bennets pleasing manners grew on

the goodwill of mrs hurst and miss bingley and though the mother was

found to be intolerable and the younger sisters not worth speaking to

a wish of being better acquainted with them was expressed towards

the two eldest by jane this attention was received with the greatest

pleasure but elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment

of everybody hardly excepting even her sister and could not like them

though their kindness to jane such as it was had a value as arising in

all probability from the influence of their brothers admiration it

was generally evident whenever they met that he did admire her and

to her it was equally evident that jane was yielding to the preference

which she had begun to entertain for him from the first and was in a

way to be very much in love but she considered with pleasure that it

was not likely to be discovered by the world in general since jane

united with great strength of feeling a composure of temper and a

uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard her from the suspicions

of the impertinent she mentioned this to her friend miss lucas

it may perhaps be pleasant replied charlotte to be able to impose

on the public in such a case but it is sometimes a disadvantage to be

so very guarded if a woman conceals her affection with the same skill

from the object of it she may lose the opportunity of fixing him and

it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in

the dark there is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every

attachment that it is not safe to leave any to itself we can all

begin freelya slight preference is natural enough but there are

very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without

encouragement in nine cases out of ten a women had better show more

affection than she feels bingley likes your sister undoubtedly but he

may never do more than like her if she does not help him on

but she does help him on as much as her nature will allow if i can

perceive her regard for him he must be a simpleton indeed not to

discover it too

remember eliza that he does not know janes disposition as you do

but if a woman is partial to a man and does not endeavour to conceal

it he must find it out

perhaps he must if he sees enough of her but though bingley and jane

meet tolerably often it is never for many hours together and as they

always see each other in large mixed parties it is impossible that

every moment should be employed in conversing together jane should

therefore make the most of every halfhour in which she can command his

attention when she is secure of him there will be more leisure for

falling in love as much as she chooses

your plan is a good one replied elizabeth where nothing is in

question but the desire of being well married and if i were determined

to get a rich husband or any husband i dare say i should adopt it but

these are not janes feelings she is not acting by design as yet

she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its

reasonableness she has known him only a fortnight she danced four

dances with him at meryton she saw him one morning at his own house

and has since dined with him in company four times this is not quite

enough to make her understand his character

not as you represent it had she merely dined with him she might

only have discovered whether he had a good appetite but you must

remember that four evenings have also been spent togetherand four

evenings may do a great deal

yes these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they

both like vingtun better than commerce but with respect to any other

leading characteristic i do not imagine that much has been unfolded

well said charlotte i wish jane success with all my heart and

if she were married to him tomorrow i should think she had as good a

chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a

twelvemonth happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance if

the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or

ever so similar beforehand it does not advance their felicity in the

least they always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to

have their share of vexation and it is better to know as little as

possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your

life

you make me laugh charlotte but it is not sound you know it is not

sound and that you would never act in this way yourself

occupied in observing mr bingleys attentions to her sister elizabeth

was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some

interest in the eyes of his friend mr darcy had at first scarcely

allowed her to be pretty he had looked at her without admiration at the

ball and when they next met he looked at her only to criticise but no

sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly

had a good feature in her face than he began to find it was rendered

uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes to

this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying though he had

detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry

in her form he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and

pleasing and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those

of the fashionable world he was caught by their easy playfulness of

this she was perfectly unaware to her he was only the man who made

himself agreeable nowhere and who had not thought her handsome enough

to dance with

he began to wish to know more of her and as a step towards conversing

with her himself attended to her conversation with others his doing so

drew her notice it was at sir william lucass where a large party were

assembled

what does mr darcy mean said she to charlotte by listening to my

conversation with colonel forster

that is a question which mr darcy only can answer

but if he does it any more i shall certainly let him know that i see

what he is about he has a very satirical eye and if i do not begin by

being impertinent myself i shall soon grow afraid of him

on his approaching them soon afterwards though without seeming to have

any intention of speaking miss lucas defied her friend to mention such

a subject to him which immediately provoking elizabeth to do it she

turned to him and said

did you not think mr darcy that i expressed myself uncommonly

well just now when i was teasing colonel forster to give us a ball at

meryton

with great energy but it is always a subject which makes a lady

energetic

you are severe on us

it will be her turn soon to be teased said miss lucas i am going

to open the instrument eliza and you know what follows

you are a very strange creature by way of a friendalways wanting me

to play and sing before anybody and everybody if my vanity had taken

a musical turn you would have been invaluable but as it is i would

really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of

hearing the very best performers on miss lucass persevering however

she added very well if it must be so it must and gravely glancing

at mr darcy there is a fine old saying which everybody here is of

course familiar with keep your breath to cool your porridge and i

shall keep mine to swell my song

her performance was pleasing though by no means capital after a song

or two and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that

she would sing again she was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her

sister mary who having in consequence of being the only plain one in

the family worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments was always

impatient for display

mary had neither genius nor taste and though vanity had given her

application it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited

manner which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she

had reached elizabeth easy and unaffected had been listened to with

much more pleasure though not playing half so well and mary at the

end of a long concerto was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by

scotch and irish airs at the request of her younger sisters who

with some of the lucases and two or three officers joined eagerly in

dancing at one end of the room

mr darcy stood near them in silent indignation at such a mode of

passing the evening to the exclusion of all conversation and was too

much engrossed by his thoughts to perceive that sir william lucas was

his neighbour till sir william thus began

what a charming amusement for young people this is mr darcy there

is nothing like dancing after all i consider it as one of the first

refinements of polished society

certainly sir and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst

the less polished societies of the world every savage can dance

sir william only smiled your friend performs delightfully he

continued after a pause on seeing bingley join the group and i doubt

not that you are an adept in the science yourself mr darcy

you saw me dance at meryton i believe sir

yes indeed and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight do

you often dance at st jamess

never sir

do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place

it is a compliment which i never pay to any place if i can avoid it

you have a house in town i conclude

mr darcy bowed

i had once had some thought of fixing in town myselffor i am fond

of superior society but i did not feel quite certain that the air of

london would agree with lady lucas

he paused in hopes of an answer but his companion was not disposed

to make any and elizabeth at that instant moving towards them he was

struck with the action of doing a very gallant thing and called out to

her

my dear miss eliza why are you not dancing mr darcy you must allow

me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner you

cannot refuse to dance i am sure when so much beauty is before you

and taking her hand he would have given it to mr darcy who though

extremely surprised was not unwilling to receive it when she instantly

drew back and said with some discomposure to sir william

indeed sir i have not the least intention of dancing i entreat you

not to suppose that i moved this way in order to beg for a partner

mr darcy with grave propriety requested to be allowed the honour of

her hand but in vain elizabeth was determined nor did sir william at

all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasion

you excel so much in the dance miss eliza that it is cruel to deny

me the happiness of seeing you and though this gentleman dislikes the

amusement in general he can have no objection i am sure to oblige us

for one halfhour

mr darcy is all politeness said elizabeth smiling

he is indeed but considering the inducement my dear miss eliza

we cannot wonder at his complaisancefor who would object to such a

partner

elizabeth looked archly and turned away her resistance had not

injured her with the gentleman and he was thinking of her with some

complacency when thus accosted by miss bingley

i can guess the subject of your reverie

i should imagine not

you are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings

in this mannerin such society and indeed i am quite of your opinion

i was never more annoyed the insipidity and yet the noisethe

nothingness and yet the selfimportance of all those people what would

i give to hear your strictures on them

your conjecture is totally wrong i assure you my mind was more

agreeably engaged i have been meditating on the very great pleasure

which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow

miss bingley immediately fixed her eyes on his face and desired he

would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such reflections

mr darcy replied with great intrepidity

miss elizabeth bennet

miss elizabeth bennet repeated miss bingley i am all astonishment

how long has she been such a favouriteand pray when am i to wish you

joy

that is exactly the question which i expected you to ask a ladys

imagination is very rapid it jumps from admiration to love from love

to matrimony in a moment i knew you would be wishing me joy

nay if you are serious about it i shall consider the matter is

absolutely settled you will be having a charming motherinlaw indeed

and of course she will always be at pemberley with you

he listened to her with perfect indifference while she chose to

entertain herself in this manner and as his composure convinced her

that all was safe her wit flowed long

chapter 

mr bennets property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two

thousand a year which unfortunately for his daughters was entailed

in default of heirs male on a distant relation and their mothers

fortune though ample for her situation in life could but ill supply

the deficiency of his her father had been an attorney in meryton and

had left her four thousand pounds

she had a sister married to a mr phillips who had been a clerk to

their father and succeeded him in the business and a brother settled in

london in a respectable line of trade

the village of longbourn was only one mile from meryton a most

convenient distance for the young ladies who were usually tempted

thither three or four times a week to pay their duty to their aunt and

to a milliners shop just over the way the two youngest of the family

catherine and lydia were particularly frequent in these attentions

their minds were more vacant than their sisters and when nothing

better offered a walk to meryton was necessary to amuse their morning

hours and furnish conversation for the evening and however bare of news

the country in general might be they always contrived to learn some

from their aunt at present indeed they were well supplied both with

news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the

neighbourhood it was to remain the whole winter and meryton was the

headquarters

their visits to mrs phillips were now productive of the most

interesting intelligence every day added something to their knowledge

of the officers names and connections their lodgings were not long a

secret and at length they began to know the officers themselves mr

phillips visited them all and this opened to his nieces a store of

felicity unknown before they could talk of nothing but officers and

mr bingleys large fortune the mention of which gave animation

to their mother was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the

regimentals of an ensign

after listening one morning to their effusions on this subject mr

bennet coolly observed

from all that i can collect by your manner of talking you must be two

of the silliest girls in the country i have suspected it some time but

i am now convinced

catherine was disconcerted and made no answer but lydia with perfect

indifference continued to express her admiration of captain carter

and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day as he was going the

next morning to london

i am astonished my dear said mrs bennet that you should be so

ready to think your own children silly if i wished to think slightingly

of anybodys children it should not be of my own however

if my children are silly i must hope to be always sensible of it

yesbut as it happens they are all of them very clever

this is the only point i flatter myself on which we do not agree i

had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular but i must

so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly

foolish

my dear mr bennet you must not expect such girls to have the sense of

their father and mother when they get to our age i dare say they will

not think about officers any more than we do i remember the time when

i liked a red coat myself very welland indeed so i do still at my

heart and if a smart young colonel with five or six thousand a year

should want one of my girls i shall not say nay to him and i thought

colonel forster looked very becoming the other night at sir williams in

his regimentals

mamma cried lydia my aunt says that colonel forster and captain

carter do not go so often to miss watsons as they did when they first

came she sees them now very often standing in clarkes library

mrs bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with

a note for miss bennet it came from netherfield and the servant waited

for an answer mrs bennets eyes sparkled with pleasure and she was

eagerly calling out while her daughter read

well jane who is it from what is it about what does he say well

jane make haste and tell us make haste my love

it is from miss bingley said jane and then read it aloud

my dear friend

if you are not so compassionate as to dine today with louisa and me

we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives

for a whole days teteatete between two women can never end without a

quarrel come as soon as you can on receipt of this my brother and the

gentlemen are to dine with the officersyours ever

caroline bingley

with the officers cried lydia i wonder my aunt did not tell us of

that

dining out said mrs bennet that is very unlucky

can i have the carriage said jane

no my dear you had better go on horseback because it seems likely to

rain and then you must stay all night

that would be a good scheme said elizabeth if you were sure that

they would not offer to send her home

oh but the gentlemen will have mr bingleys chaise to go to meryton

and the hursts have no horses to theirs

i had much rather go in the coach

but my dear your father cannot spare the horses i am sure they are

wanted in the farm mr bennet are they not

they are wanted in the farm much oftener than i can get them

but if you have got them today said elizabeth my mothers purpose

will be answered

she did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses

were engaged jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback and her

mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a

bad day her hopes were answered jane had not been gone long before

it rained hard her sisters were uneasy for her but her mother was

delighted the rain continued the whole evening without intermission

jane certainly could not come back

this was a lucky idea of mine indeed said mrs bennet more than

once as if the credit of making it rain were all her own till the

next morning however she was not aware of all the felicity of her

contrivance breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from netherfield

brought the following note for elizabeth

my dearest lizzy

i find myself very unwell this morning which i suppose is to be

imputed to my getting wet through yesterday my kind friends will not

hear of my returning till i am better they insist also on my seeing mr

jonestherefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been

to meand excepting a sore throat and headache there is not much the

matter with meyours etc

well my dear said mr bennet when elizabeth had read the note

aloud if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illnessif she

should die it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of

mr bingley and under your orders

oh i am not afraid of her dying people do not die of little trifling

colds she will be taken good care of as long as she stays there it is

all very well i would go and see her if i could have the carriage

elizabeth feeling really anxious was determined to go to her though

the carriage was not to be had and as she was no horsewoman walking

was her only alternative she declared her resolution

how can you be so silly cried her mother as to think of such a

thing in all this dirt you will not be fit to be seen when you get

there

i shall be very fit to see janewhich is all i want

is this a hint to me lizzy said her father to send for the

horses

no indeed i do not wish to avoid the walk the distance is nothing

when one has a motive only three miles i shall be back by dinner

i admire the activity of your benevolence observed mary but every

impulse of feeling should be guided by reason and in my opinion

exertion should always be in proportion to what is required

we will go as far as meryton with you said catherine and lydia

elizabeth accepted their company and the three young ladies set off

together

if we make haste said lydia as they walked along perhaps we may

see something of captain carter before he goes

in meryton they parted the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one

of the officers wives and elizabeth continued her walk alone crossing

field after field at a quick pace jumping over stiles and springing

over puddles with impatient activity and finding herself at last

within view of the house with weary ankles dirty stockings and a face

glowing with the warmth of exercise

she was shown into the breakfastparlour where all but jane were

assembled and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise

that she should have walked three miles so early in the day in such

dirty weather and by herself was almost incredible to mrs hurst and

miss bingley and elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt

for it she was received however very politely by them and in their

brothers manners there was something better than politeness there

was good humour and kindness mr darcy said very little and mr

hurst nothing at all the former was divided between admiration of the

brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion and doubt as

to the occasions justifying her coming so far alone the latter was

thinking only of his breakfast

her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered miss

bennet had slept ill and though up was very feverish and not

well enough to leave her room elizabeth was glad to be taken to her

immediately and jane who had only been withheld by the fear of giving

alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed

for such a visit was delighted at her entrance she was not equal

however to much conversation and when miss bingley left them

together could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the

extraordinary kindness she was treated with elizabeth silently attended

her

when breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters and elizabeth

began to like them herself when she saw how much affection and

solicitude they showed for jane the apothecary came and having

examined his patient said as might be supposed that she had caught

a violent cold and that they must endeavour to get the better of it

advised her to return to bed and promised her some draughts the advice

was followed readily for the feverish symptoms increased and her head

ached acutely elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment nor were

the other ladies often absent the gentlemen being out they had in

fact nothing to do elsewhere

when the clock struck three elizabeth felt that she must go and very

unwillingly said so miss bingley offered her the carriage and she only

wanted a little pressing to accept it when jane testified such concern

in parting with her that miss bingley was obliged to convert the offer

of the chaise to an invitation to remain at netherfield for the present

elizabeth most thankfully consented and a servant was dispatched to

longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply

of clothes

chapter 

at five oclock the two ladies retired to dress and at halfpast six

elizabeth was summoned to dinner to the civil inquiries which then

poured in and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the

much superior solicitude of mr bingleys she could not make a very

favourable answer jane was by no means better the sisters on hearing

this repeated three or four times how much they were grieved how

shocking it was to have a bad cold and how excessively they disliked

being ill themselves and then thought no more of the matter and their

indifference towards jane when not immediately before them restored

elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike

their brother indeed was the only one of the party whom she could

regard with any complacency his anxiety for jane was evident and his

attentions to herself most pleasing and they prevented her feeling

herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the

others she had very little notice from any but him miss bingley was

engrossed by mr darcy her sister scarcely less so and as for mr

hurst by whom elizabeth sat he was an indolent man who lived only to

eat drink and play at cards who when he found her to prefer a plain

dish to a ragout had nothing to say to her

when dinner was over she returned directly to jane and miss bingley

began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room her manners were

pronounced to be very bad indeed a mixture of pride and impertinence

she had no conversation no style no beauty mrs hurst thought the

same and added

she has nothing in short to recommend her but being an excellent

walker i shall never forget her appearance this morning she really

looked almost wild

she did indeed louisa i could hardly keep my countenance very

nonsensical to come at all why must she be scampering about the

country because her sister had a cold her hair so untidy so blowsy

yes and her petticoat i hope you saw her petticoat six inches deep

in mud i am absolutely certain and the gown which had been let down to

hide it not doing its office

your picture may be very exact louisa said bingley but this was

all lost upon me i thought miss elizabeth bennet looked remarkably

well when she came into the room this morning her dirty petticoat quite

escaped my notice

you observed it mr darcy i am sure said miss bingley and i am

inclined to think that you would not wish to see your sister make such

an exhibition

certainly not

to walk three miles or four miles or five miles or whatever it is

above her ankles in dirt and alone quite alone what could she mean by

it it seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence

a most countrytown indifference to decorum

it shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing said

bingley

i am afraid mr darcy observed miss bingley in a half whisper that

this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes

not at all he replied they were brightened by the exercise a

short pause followed this speech and mrs hurst began again

i have an excessive regard for miss jane bennet she is really a very

sweet girl and i wish with all my heart she were well settled but with

such a father and mother and such low connections i am afraid there is

no chance of it

i think i have heard you say that their uncle is an attorney in

meryton

yes and they have another who lives somewhere near cheapside

that is capital added her sister and they both laughed heartily

if they had uncles enough to fill all cheapside cried bingley it

would not make them one jot less agreeable

but it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any

consideration in the world replied darcy

to this speech bingley made no answer but his sisters gave it their

hearty assent and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of

their dear friends vulgar relations

with a renewal of tenderness however they returned to her room on

leaving the diningparlour and sat with her till summoned to coffee

she was still very poorly and elizabeth would not quit her at all till

late in the evening when she had the comfort of seeing her sleep and

when it seemed to her rather right than pleasant that she should go

downstairs herself on entering the drawingroom she found the whole

party at loo and was immediately invited to join them but suspecting

them to be playing high she declined it and making her sister the

excuse said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay

below with a book mr hurst looked at her with astonishment

do you prefer reading to cards said he that is rather singular

miss eliza bennet said miss bingley despises cards she is a great

reader and has no pleasure in anything else

i deserve neither such praise nor such censure cried elizabeth i am

not a great reader and i have pleasure in many things

in nursing your sister i am sure you have pleasure said bingley and

i hope it will be soon increased by seeing her quite well

elizabeth thanked him from her heart and then walked towards the

table where a few books were lying he immediately offered to fetch her

othersall that his library afforded

and i wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own

credit but i am an idle fellow and though i have not many i have more

than i ever looked into

elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those

in the room

i am astonished said miss bingley that my father should have left

so small a collection of books what a delightful library you have at

pemberley mr darcy

it ought to be good he replied it has been the work of many

generations

and then you have added so much to it yourself you are always buying

books

i cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as

these

neglect i am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of

that noble place charles when you build your house i wish it may be

half as delightful as pemberley

i wish it may

but i would really advise you to make your purchase in that

neighbourhood and take pemberley for a kind of model there is not a

finer county in england than derbyshire

with all my heart i will buy pemberley itself if darcy will sell it

i am talking of possibilities charles

upon my word caroline i should think it more possible to get

pemberley by purchase than by imitation

elizabeth was so much caught with what passed as to leave her very

little attention for her book and soon laying it wholly aside she drew

near the cardtable and stationed herself between mr bingley and his

eldest sister to observe the game

is miss darcy much grown since the spring said miss bingley will

she be as tall as i am

i think she will she is now about miss elizabeth bennets height or

rather taller

how i long to see her again i never met with anybody who delighted me

so much such a countenance such manners and so extremely accomplished

for her age her performance on the pianoforte is exquisite

it is amazing to me said bingley how young ladies can have patience

to be so very accomplished as they all are

all young ladies accomplished my dear charles what do you mean

yes all of them i think they all paint tables cover screens and

net purses i scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this and i am sure

i never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time without being

informed that she was very accomplished

your list of the common extent of accomplishments said darcy has

too much truth the word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no

otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen but i am very

far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general i

cannot boast of knowing more than halfadozen in the whole range of my

acquaintance that are really accomplished

nor i i am sure said miss bingley

then observed elizabeth you must comprehend a great deal in your

idea of an accomplished woman

yes i do comprehend a great deal in it

oh certainly cried his faithful assistant no one can be really

esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met

with a woman must have a thorough knowledge of music singing drawing

dancing and the modern languages to deserve the word and besides

all this she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of

walking the tone of her voice her address and expressions or the word

will be but halfdeserved

all this she must possess added darcy and to all this she must

yet add something more substantial in the improvement of her mind by

extensive reading

i am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women

i rather wonder now at your knowing any

are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all

this

i never saw such a woman i never saw such capacity and taste and

application and elegance as you describe united

mrs hurst and miss bingley both cried out against the injustice of her

implied doubt and were both protesting that they knew many women who

answered this description when mr hurst called them to order with

bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward as all

conversation was thereby at an end elizabeth soon afterwards left the

room

elizabeth bennet said miss bingley when the door was closed on her

is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the

other sex by undervaluing their own and with many men i dare say it

succeeds but in my opinion it is a paltry device a very mean art

undoubtedly replied darcy to whom this remark was chiefly addressed

there is a meanness in all the arts which ladies sometimes condescend

to employ for captivation whatever bears affinity to cunning is

despicable

miss bingley was not so entirely satisfied with this reply as to

continue the subject

elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse and

that she could not leave her bingley urged mr jones being sent for

immediately while his sisters convinced that no country advice could

be of any service recommended an express to town for one of the most

eminent physicians this she would not hear of but she was not so

unwilling to comply with their brothers proposal and it was settled

that mr jones should be sent for early in the morning if miss bennet

were not decidedly better bingley was quite uncomfortable his sisters

declared that they were miserable they solaced their wretchedness

however by duets after supper while he could find no better relief

to his feelings than by giving his housekeeper directions that every

attention might be paid to the sick lady and her sister

chapter 

elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sisters room and in the

morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the

inquiries which she very early received from mr bingley by a housemaid

and some time afterwards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his

sisters in spite of this amendment however she requested to have a

note sent to longbourn desiring her mother to visit jane and form her

own judgement of her situation the note was immediately dispatched and

its contents as quickly complied with mrs bennet accompanied by her

two youngest girls reached netherfield soon after the family breakfast

had she found jane in any apparent danger mrs bennet would have been

very miserable but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was

not alarming she had no wish of her recovering immediately as her

restoration to health would probably remove her from netherfield she

would not listen therefore to her daughters proposal of being carried

home neither did the apothecary who arrived about the same time think

it at all advisable after sitting a little while with jane on miss

bingleys appearance and invitation the mother and three daughters all

attended her into the breakfast parlour bingley met them with hopes

that mrs bennet had not found miss bennet worse than she expected

indeed i have sir was her answer she is a great deal too ill to be

moved mr jones says we must not think of moving her we must trespass

a little longer on your kindness

removed cried bingley it must not be thought of my sister i am

sure will not hear of her removal

you may depend upon it madam said miss bingley with cold civility

that miss bennet will receive every possible attention while she

remains with us

mrs bennet was profuse in her acknowledgments

i am sure she added if it was not for such good friends i do not

know what would become of her for she is very ill indeed and suffers

a vast deal though with the greatest patience in the world which is

always the way with her for she has without exception the sweetest

temper i have ever met with i often tell my other girls they are

nothing to her you have a sweet room here mr bingley and a

charming prospect over the gravel walk i do not know a place in the

country that is equal to netherfield you will not think of quitting it

in a hurry i hope though you have but a short lease

whatever i do is done in a hurry replied he and therefore if i

should resolve to quit netherfield i should probably be off in five

minutes at present however i consider myself as quite fixed here

that is exactly what i should have supposed of you said elizabeth

you begin to comprehend me do you cried he turning towards her

oh yesi understand you perfectly

i wish i might take this for a compliment but to be so easily seen

through i am afraid is pitiful

that is as it happens it does not follow that a deep intricate

character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours

lizzy cried her mother remember where you are and do not run on in

the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home

i did not know before continued bingley immediately that you were a

studier of character it must be an amusing study

yes but intricate characters are the most amusing they have at

least that advantage

the country said darcy can in general supply but a few subjects for

such a study in a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and

unvarying society

but people themselves alter so much that there is something new to be

observed in them for ever

yes indeed cried mrs bennet offended by his manner of mentioning

a country neighbourhood i assure you there is quite as much of that

going on in the country as in town

everybody was surprised and darcy after looking at her for a moment

turned silently away mrs bennet who fancied she had gained a complete

victory over him continued her triumph

i cannot see that london has any great advantage over the country for

my part except the shops and public places the country is a vast deal

pleasanter is it not mr bingley

when i am in the country he replied i never wish to leave it

and when i am in town it is pretty much the same they have each their

advantages and i can be equally happy in either

ayethat is because you have the right disposition but that

gentleman looking at darcy seemed to think the country was nothing

at all

indeed mamma you are mistaken said elizabeth blushing for her

mother you quite mistook mr darcy he only meant that there was not

such a variety of people to be met with in the country as in the town

which you must acknowledge to be true

certainly my dear nobody said there were but as to not meeting

with many people in this neighbourhood i believe there are few

neighbourhoods larger i know we dine with fourandtwenty families

nothing but concern for elizabeth could enable bingley to keep his

countenance his sister was less delicate and directed her eyes towards

mr darcy with a very expressive smile elizabeth for the sake of

saying something that might turn her mothers thoughts now asked her if

charlotte lucas had been at longbourn since her coming away

yes she called yesterday with her father what an agreeable man sir

william is mr bingley is not he so much the man of fashion so

genteel and easy he has always something to say to everybody that

is my idea of good breeding and those persons who fancy themselves very

important and never open their mouths quite mistake the matter

did charlotte dine with you

no she would go home i fancy she was wanted about the mincepies for

my part mr bingley i always keep servants that can do their own work

my daughters are brought up very differently but everybody is to

judge for themselves and the lucases are a very good sort of girls

i assure you it is a pity they are not handsome not that i think

charlotte so very plainbut then she is our particular friend

she seems a very pleasant young woman

oh dear yes but you must own she is very plain lady lucas herself

has often said so and envied me janes beauty i do not like to boast

of my own child but to be sure janeone does not often see anybody

better looking it is what everybody says i do not trust my own

partiality when she was only fifteen there was a man at my brother

gardiners in town so much in love with her that my sisterinlaw was

sure he would make her an offer before we came away but however he

did not perhaps he thought her too young however he wrote some verses

on her and very pretty they were

and so ended his affection said elizabeth impatiently there has

been many a one i fancy overcome in the same way i wonder who first

discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love

i have been used to consider poetry as the food of love said darcy

of a fine stout healthy love it may everything nourishes what is

strong already but if it be only a slight thin sort of inclination i

am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away

darcy only smiled and the general pause which ensued made elizabeth

tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again she longed to

speak but could think of nothing to say and after a short silence mrs

bennet began repeating her thanks to mr bingley for his kindness to

jane with an apology for troubling him also with lizzy mr bingley was

unaffectedly civil in his answer and forced his younger sister to be

civil also and say what the occasion required she performed her part

indeed without much graciousness but mrs bennet was satisfied and

soon afterwards ordered her carriage upon this signal the youngest of

her daughters put herself forward the two girls had been whispering to

each other during the whole visit and the result of it was that the

youngest should tax mr bingley with having promised on his first coming

into the country to give a ball at netherfield

lydia was a stout wellgrown girl of fifteen with a fine complexion

and goodhumoured countenance a favourite with her mother whose

affection had brought her into public at an early age she had high

animal spirits and a sort of natural selfconsequence which the

attention of the officers to whom her uncles good dinners and her own

easy manners recommended her had increased into assurance she was very

equal therefore to address mr bingley on the subject of the ball and

abruptly reminded him of his promise adding that it would be the most

shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it his answer to this

sudden attack was delightful to their mothers ear

i am perfectly ready i assure you to keep my engagement and when

your sister is recovered you shall if you please name the very day of

the ball but you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill

lydia declared herself satisfied oh yesit would be much better to

wait till jane was well and by that time most likely captain carter

would be at meryton again and when you have given your ball she

added i shall insist on their giving one also i shall tell colonel

forster it will be quite a shame if he does not

mrs bennet and her daughters then departed and elizabeth returned

instantly to jane leaving her own and her relations behaviour to the

remarks of the two ladies and mr darcy the latter of whom however

could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of her in spite of

all miss bingleys witticisms on fine eyes

chapter 

the day passed much as the day before had done mrs hurst and miss

bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid who

continued though slowly to mend and in the evening elizabeth joined

their party in the drawingroom the lootable however did not appear

mr darcy was writing and miss bingley seated near him was watching

the progress of his letter and repeatedly calling off his attention by

messages to his sister mr hurst and mr bingley were at piquet and

mrs hurst was observing their game

elizabeth took up some needlework and was sufficiently amused in

attending to what passed between darcy and his companion the perpetual

commendations of the lady either on his handwriting or on the evenness

of his lines or on the length of his letter with the perfect unconcern

with which her praises were received formed a curious dialogue and was

exactly in union with her opinion of each

how delighted miss darcy will be to receive such a letter

he made no answer

you write uncommonly fast

you are mistaken i write rather slowly

how many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a

year letters of business too how odious i should think them

it is fortunate then that they fall to my lot instead of yours

pray tell your sister that i long to see her

i have already told her so once by your desire

i am afraid you do not like your pen let me mend it for you i mend

pens remarkably well

thank youbut i always mend my own

how can you contrive to write so even

he was silent

tell your sister i am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp

and pray let her know that i am quite in raptures with her beautiful

little design for a table and i think it infinitely superior to miss

grantleys

will you give me leave to defer your raptures till i write again at

present i have not room to do them justice

oh it is of no consequence i shall see her in january but do you

always write such charming long letters to her mr darcy

they are generally long but whether always charming it is not for me

to determine

it is a rule with me that a person who can write a long letter with

ease cannot write ill

that will not do for a compliment to darcy caroline cried her

brother because he does not write with ease he studies too much for

words of four syllables do not you darcy

my style of writing is very different from yours

oh cried miss bingley charles writes in the most careless way

imaginable he leaves out half his words and blots the rest

my ideas flow so rapidly that i have not time to express themby which

means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents

your humility mr bingley said elizabeth must disarm reproof

nothing is more deceitful said darcy than the appearance of

humility it is often only carelessness of opinion and sometimes an

indirect boast

and which of the two do you call my little recent piece of modesty

the indirect boast for you are really proud of your defects in

writing because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of

thought and carelessness of execution which if not estimable you

think at least highly interesting the power of doing anything with

quickness is always prized much by the possessor and often without any

attention to the imperfection of the performance when you told mrs

bennet this morning that if you ever resolved upon quitting netherfield

you should be gone in five minutes you meant it to be a sort of

panegyric of compliment to yourselfand yet what is there so very

laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business

undone and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else

nay cried bingley this is too much to remember at night all the

foolish things that were said in the morning and yet upon my honour

i believe what i said of myself to be true and i believe it at this

moment at least therefore i did not assume the character of needless

precipitance merely to show off before the ladies

i dare say you believed it but i am by no means convinced that

you would be gone with such celerity your conduct would be quite as

dependent on chance as that of any man i know and if as you were

mounting your horse a friend were to say bingley you had better

stay till next week you would probably do it you would probably not

goand at another word might stay a month

you have only proved by this cried elizabeth that mr bingley did

not do justice to his own disposition you have shown him off now much

more than he did himself

i am exceedingly gratified said bingley by your converting what my

friend says into a compliment on the sweetness of my temper but i am

afraid you are giving it a turn which that gentleman did by no means

intend for he would certainly think better of me if under such a

circumstance i were to give a flat denial and ride off as fast as i

could

would mr darcy then consider the rashness of your original intentions

as atoned for by your obstinacy in adhering to it

upon my word i cannot exactly explain the matter darcy must speak for

himself

you expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine

but which i have never acknowledged allowing the case however to

stand according to your representation you must remember miss bennet

that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house and

the delay of his plan has merely desired it asked it without offering

one argument in favour of its propriety

to yield readilyeasilyto the persuasion of a friend is no merit

with you

to yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of

either

you appear to me mr darcy to allow nothing for the influence of

friendship and affection a regard for the requester would often make

one readily yield to a request without waiting for arguments to reason

one into it i am not particularly speaking of such a case as you have

supposed about mr bingley we may as well wait perhaps till the

circumstance occurs before we discuss the discretion of his behaviour

thereupon but in general and ordinary cases between friend and friend

where one of them is desired by the other to change a resolution of no

very great moment should you think ill of that person for complying

with the desire without waiting to be argued into it

will it not be advisable before we proceed on this subject to

arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to

appertain to this request as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting

between the parties

by all means cried bingley let us hear all the particulars not

forgetting their comparative height and size for that will have more

weight in the argument miss bennet than you may be aware of i assure

you that if darcy were not such a great tall fellow in comparison with

myself i should not pay him half so much deference i declare i do not

know a more awful object than darcy on particular occasions and in

particular places at his own house especially and of a sunday evening

when he has nothing to do

mr darcy smiled but elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was

rather offended and therefore checked her laugh miss bingley warmly

resented the indignity he had received in an expostulation with her

brother for talking such nonsense

i see your design bingley said his friend you dislike an argument

and want to silence this

perhaps i do arguments are too much like disputes if you and miss

bennet will defer yours till i am out of the room i shall be very

thankful and then you may say whatever you like of me

what you ask said elizabeth is no sacrifice on my side and mr

darcy had much better finish his letter

mr darcy took her advice and did finish his letter

when that business was over he applied to miss bingley and elizabeth

for an indulgence of some music miss bingley moved with some alacrity

to the pianoforte and after a polite request that elizabeth would lead

the way which the other as politely and more earnestly negatived she

seated herself

mrs hurst sang with her sister and while they were thus employed

elizabeth could not help observing as she turned over some musicbooks

that lay on the instrument how frequently mr darcys eyes were fixed

on her she hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of

admiration to so great a man and yet that he should look at her

because he disliked her was still more strange she could only imagine

however at last that she drew his notice because there was something

more wrong and reprehensible according to his ideas of right than in

any other person present the supposition did not pain her she liked

him too little to care for his approbation

after playing some italian songs miss bingley varied the charm by

a lively scotch air and soon afterwards mr darcy drawing near

elizabeth said to her

do not you feel a great inclination miss bennet to seize such an

opportunity of dancing a reel

she smiled but made no answer he repeated the question with some

surprise at her silence

oh said she i heard you before but i could not immediately

determine what to say in reply you wanted me i know to say yes

that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste but i always

delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes and cheating a person of

their premeditated contempt i have therefore made up my mind to tell

you that i do not want to dance a reel at alland now despise me if

you dare

indeed i do not dare

elizabeth having rather expected to affront him was amazed at his

gallantry but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her

manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody and darcy

had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her he really

believed that were it not for the inferiority of her connections he

should be in some danger

miss bingley saw or suspected enough to be jealous and her great

anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend jane received some

assistance from her desire of getting rid of elizabeth

she often tried to provoke darcy into disliking her guest by talking of

their supposed marriage and planning his happiness in such an alliance

i hope said she as they were walking together in the shrubbery

the next day you will give your motherinlaw a few hints when this

desirable event takes place as to the advantage of holding her tongue

and if you can compass it do cure the younger girls of running after

officers and if i may mention so delicate a subject endeavour to

check that little something bordering on conceit and impertinence

which your lady possesses

have you anything else to propose for my domestic felicity

oh yes do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt phillips be placed

in the gallery at pemberley put them next to your greatuncle the

judge they are in the same profession you know only in different

lines as for your elizabeths picture you must not have it taken for

what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes

it would not be easy indeed to catch their expression but their

colour and shape and the eyelashes so remarkably fine might be

copied

at that moment they were met from another walk by mrs hurst and

elizabeth herself

i did not know that you intended to walk said miss bingley in some

confusion lest they had been overheard

you used us abominably ill answered mrs hurst running away without

telling us that you were coming out

then taking the disengaged arm of mr darcy she left elizabeth to walk

by herself the path just admitted three mr darcy felt their rudeness

and immediately said

this walk is not wide enough for our party we had better go into the

avenue

but elizabeth who had not the least inclination to remain with them

laughingly answered

no no stay where you are you are charmingly grouped and appear

to uncommon advantage the picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a

fourth goodbye

she then ran gaily off rejoicing as she rambled about in the hope of

being at home again in a day or two jane was already so much recovered

as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours that evening

chapter 

when the ladies removed after dinner elizabeth ran up to her

sister and seeing her well guarded from cold attended her into the

drawingroom where she was welcomed by her two friends with many

professions of pleasure and elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable

as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared

their powers of conversation were considerable they could describe an

entertainment with accuracy relate an anecdote with humour and laugh

at their acquaintance with spirit

but when the gentlemen entered jane was no longer the first object

miss bingleys eyes were instantly turned toward darcy and she had

something to say to him before he had advanced many steps he addressed

himself to miss bennet with a polite congratulation mr hurst also

made her a slight bow and said he was very glad but diffuseness

and warmth remained for bingleys salutation he was full of joy and

attention the first halfhour was spent in piling up the fire lest she

should suffer from the change of room and she removed at his desire

to the other side of the fireplace that she might be further from

the door he then sat down by her and talked scarcely to anyone

else elizabeth at work in the opposite corner saw it all with great

delight

when tea was over mr hurst reminded his sisterinlaw of the

cardtablebut in vain she had obtained private intelligence that mr

darcy did not wish for cards and mr hurst soon found even his open

petition rejected she assured him that no one intended to play and

the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her mr

hurst had therefore nothing to do but to stretch himself on one of the

sofas and go to sleep darcy took up a book miss bingley did the same

and mrs hurst principally occupied in playing with her bracelets

and rings joined now and then in her brothers conversation with miss

bennet

miss bingleys attention was quite as much engaged in watching mr

darcys progress through his book as in reading her own and she

was perpetually either making some inquiry or looking at his page she

could not win him however to any conversation he merely answered her

question and read on at length quite exhausted by the attempt to be

amused with her own book which she had only chosen because it was the

second volume of his she gave a great yawn and said how pleasant

it is to spend an evening in this way i declare after all there is no

enjoyment like reading how much sooner one tires of anything than of a

book when i have a house of my own i shall be miserable if i have not

an excellent library

no one made any reply she then yawned again threw aside her book and

cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement when hearing

her brother mentioning a ball to miss bennet she turned suddenly

towards him and said

by the bye charles are you really serious in meditating a dance at

netherfield i would advise you before you determine on it to consult

the wishes of the present party i am much mistaken if there are

not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a

pleasure

if you mean darcy cried her brother he may go to bed if he

chooses before it beginsbut as for the ball it is quite a settled

thing and as soon as nicholls has made white soup enough i shall send

round my cards

i should like balls infinitely better she replied if they were

carried on in a different manner but there is something insufferably

tedious in the usual process of such a meeting it would surely be much

more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of

the day

much more rational my dear caroline i dare say but it would not be

near so much like a ball

miss bingley made no answer and soon afterwards she got up and walked

about the room her figure was elegant and she walked well but

darcy at whom it was all aimed was still inflexibly studious in

the desperation of her feelings she resolved on one effort more and

turning to elizabeth said

miss eliza bennet let me persuade you to follow my example and take a

turn about the room i assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so

long in one attitude

elizabeth was surprised but agreed to it immediately miss bingley

succeeded no less in the real object of her civility mr darcy looked

up he was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as

elizabeth herself could be and unconsciously closed his book he was

directly invited to join their party but he declined it observing that

he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down

the room together with either of which motives his joining them would

interfere what could he mean she was dying to know what could be his

meaningand asked elizabeth whether she could at all understand him

not at all was her answer but depend upon it he means to be severe

on us and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing

about it

miss bingley however was incapable of disappointing mr darcy in

anything and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his

two motives

i have not the smallest objection to explaining them said he as soon

as she allowed him to speak you either choose this method of passing

the evening because you are in each others confidence and have secret

affairs to discuss or because you are conscious that your figures

appear to the greatest advantage in walking if the first i would be

completely in your way and if the second i can admire you much better

as i sit by the fire

oh shocking cried miss bingley i never heard anything so

abominable how shall we punish him for such a speech

nothing so easy if you have but the inclination said elizabeth we

can all plague and punish one another tease himlaugh at him intimate

as you are you must know how it is to be done

but upon my honour i do not i do assure you that my intimacy has

not yet taught me that tease calmness of manner and presence of

mind no no i feel he may defy us there and as to laughter we will

not expose ourselves if you please by attempting to laugh without a

subject mr darcy may hug himself

mr darcy is not to be laughed at cried elizabeth that is an

uncommon advantage and uncommon i hope it will continue for it would

be a great loss to me to have many such acquaintances i dearly love a

laugh

miss bingley said he has given me more credit than can be

the wisest and the best of mennay the wisest and best of their

actionsmay be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in

life is a joke

certainly replied elizabeththere are such people but i hope i

am not one of them i hope i never ridicule what is wise and good

follies and nonsense whims and inconsistencies do divert me i own

and i laugh at them whenever i can but these i suppose are precisely

what you are without

perhaps that is not possible for anyone but it has been the study

of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong

understanding to ridicule

such as vanity and pride

yes vanity is a weakness indeed but pridewhere there is a real

superiority of mind pride will be always under good regulation

elizabeth turned away to hide a smile

your examination of mr darcy is over i presume said miss bingley

and pray what is the result

i am perfectly convinced by it that mr darcy has no defect he owns it

himself without disguise

no said darcy i have made no such pretension i have faults enough

but they are not i hope of understanding my temper i dare not vouch

for it is i believe too little yieldingcertainly too little for the

convenience of the world i cannot forget the follies and vices of others

so soon as i ought nor their offenses against myself my feelings

are not puffed about with every attempt to move them my temper

would perhaps be called resentful my good opinion once lost is lost

forever

that is a failing indeed cried elizabeth implacable resentment

is a shade in a character but you have chosen your fault well i

really cannot laugh at it you are safe from me

there is i believe in every disposition a tendency to some particular

evila natural defect which not even the best education can overcome

and your defect is to hate everybody

and yours he replied with a smile is willfully to misunderstand

them

do let us have a little music cried miss bingley tired of a

conversation in which she had no share louisa you will not mind my

waking mr hurst

her sister had not the smallest objection and the pianoforte was

opened and darcy after a few moments recollection was not sorry for

it he began to feel the danger of paying elizabeth too much attention

chapter 

in consequence of an agreement between the sisters elizabeth wrote the

next morning to their mother to beg that the carriage might be sent for

them in the course of the day but mrs bennet who had calculated on

her daughters remaining at netherfield till the following tuesday which

would exactly finish janes week could not bring herself to receive

them with pleasure before her answer therefore was not propitious at

least not to elizabeths wishes for she was impatient to get home mrs

bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage

before tuesday and in her postscript it was added that if mr bingley

and his sister pressed them to stay longer she could spare them

very well against staying longer however elizabeth was positively

resolvednor did she much expect it would be asked and fearful on the

contrary as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long

she urged jane to borrow mr bingleys carriage immediately and at

length it was settled that their original design of leaving netherfield

that morning should be mentioned and the request made

the communication excited many professions of concern and enough was

said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work

on jane and till the morrow their going was deferred miss bingley was

then sorry that she had proposed the delay for her jealousy and dislike

of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other

the master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so

soon and repeatedly tried to persuade miss bennet that it would not be

safe for herthat she was not enough recovered but jane was firm where

she felt herself to be right

to mr darcy it was welcome intelligenceelizabeth had been at

netherfield long enough she attracted him more than he likedand miss

bingley was uncivil to her and more teasing than usual to himself

he wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration

should now escape him nothing that could elevate her with the hope

of influencing his felicity sensible that if such an idea had been

suggested his behaviour during the last day must have material weight

in confirming or crushing it steady to his purpose he scarcely spoke

ten words to her through the whole of saturday and though they were

at one time left by themselves for halfanhour he adhered most

conscientiously to his book and would not even look at her

on sunday after morning service the separation so agreeable to almost

all took place miss bingleys civility to elizabeth increased at last

very rapidly as well as her affection for jane and when they parted

after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her

to see her either at longbourn or netherfield and embracing her most

tenderly she even shook hands with the former elizabeth took leave of

the whole party in the liveliest of spirits

they were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother mrs bennet

wondered at their coming and thought them very wrong to give so much

trouble and was sure jane would have caught cold again but their

father though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure was really

glad to see them he had felt their importance in the family circle the

evening conversation when they were all assembled had lost much of

its animation and almost all its sense by the absence of jane and

elizabeth

they found mary as usual deep in the study of thoroughbass and human

nature and had some extracts to admire and some new observations of

threadbare morality to listen to catherine and lydia had information

for them of a different sort much had been done and much had been said

in the regiment since the preceding wednesday several of the officers

had dined lately with their uncle a private had been flogged and it

had actually been hinted that colonel forster was going to be married

chapter 

i hope my dear said mr bennet to his wife as they were at

breakfast the next morning that you have ordered a good dinner today

because i have reason to expect an addition to our family party

who do you mean my dear i know of nobody that is coming i am sure

unless charlotte lucas should happen to call inand i hope my dinners

are good enough for her i do not believe she often sees such at home

the person of whom i speak is a gentleman and a stranger

mrs bennets eyes sparkled a gentleman and a stranger it is mr

bingley i am sure well i am sure i shall be extremely glad to see mr

bingley butgood lord how unlucky there is not a bit of fish to be

got today lydia my love ring the belli must speak to hill this

moment

it is not mr bingley said her husband it is a person whom i

never saw in the whole course of my life

this roused a general astonishment and he had the pleasure of being

eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once

after amusing himself some time with their curiosity he thus explained

about a month ago i received this letter and about a fortnight ago

i answered it for i thought it a case of some delicacy and requiring

early attention it is from my cousin mr collins who when i am dead

may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases

oh my dear cried his wife i cannot bear to hear that mentioned

pray do not talk of that odious man i do think it is the hardest thing

in the world that your estate should be entailed away from your own

children and i am sure if i had been you i should have tried long ago

to do something or other about it

jane and elizabeth tried to explain to her the nature of an entail they

had often attempted to do it before but it was a subject on which

mrs bennet was beyond the reach of reason and she continued to rail

bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of

five daughters in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about

it certainly is a most iniquitous affair said mr bennet and

nothing can clear mr collins from the guilt of inheriting longbourn

but if you will listen to his letter you may perhaps be a little

softened by his manner of expressing himself

no that i am sure i shall not and i think it is very impertinent of

him to write to you at all and very hypocritical i hate such false

friends why could he not keep on quarreling with you as his father did

before him

why indeed he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that

head as you will hear

hunsford near westerham kent th october

dear sir

the disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured

father always gave me much uneasiness and since i have had the

misfortune to lose him i have frequently wished to heal the breach but

for some time i was kept back by my own doubts fearing lest it might

seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with anyone

with whom it had always pleased him to be at variancethere mrs

bennetmy mind however is now made up on the subject for having

received ordination at easter i have been so fortunate as to be

distinguished by the patronage of the right honourable lady catherine de

bourgh widow of sir lewis de bourgh whose bounty and beneficence has

preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish where it shall be

my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her

ladyship and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which

are instituted by the church of england as a clergyman moreover i

feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in

all families within the reach of my influence and on these grounds i

flatter myself that my present overtures are highly commendable and

that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of longbourn estate

will be kindly overlooked on your side and not lead you to reject the

offered olivebranch i cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the

means of injuring your amiable daughters and beg leave to apologise for

it as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible

amendsbut of this hereafter if you should have no objection to

receive me into your house i propose myself the satisfaction of waiting

on you and your family monday november th by four oclock and

shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the saturday seennight

following which i can do without any inconvenience as lady catherine

is far from objecting to my occasional absence on a sunday provided

that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the dayi

remain dear sir with respectful compliments to your lady and

daughters your wellwisher and friend

william collins

at four oclock therefore we may expect this peacemaking gentleman

said mr bennet as he folded up the letter he seems to be a most

conscientious and polite young man upon my word and i doubt not will

prove a valuable acquaintance especially if lady catherine should be so

indulgent as to let him come to us again

there is some sense in what he says about the girls however and if

he is disposed to make them any amends i shall not be the person to

discourage him

though it is difficult said jane to guess in what way he can mean

to make us the atonement he thinks our due the wish is certainly to his

credit

elizabeth was chiefly struck by his extraordinary deference for lady

catherine and his kind intention of christening marrying and burying

his parishioners whenever it were required

he must be an oddity i think said she i cannot make him

outthere is something very pompous in his styleand what can he

mean by apologising for being next in the entailwe cannot suppose he

would help it if he couldcould he be a sensible man sir

no my dear i think not i have great hopes of finding him quite the

reverse there is a mixture of servility and selfimportance in his

letter which promises well i am impatient to see him

in point of composition said mary the letter does not seem

defective the idea of the olivebranch perhaps is not wholly new yet i

think it is well expressed

to catherine and lydia neither the letter nor its writer were in any

degree interesting it was next to impossible that their cousin should

come in a scarlet coat and it was now some weeks since they had

received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour as for

their mother mr collinss letter had done away much of her illwill

and she was preparing to see him with a degree of composure which

astonished her husband and daughters

mr collins was punctual to his time and was received with great

politeness by the whole family mr bennet indeed said little but the

ladies were ready enough to talk and mr collins seemed neither in

need of encouragement nor inclined to be silent himself he was a

tall heavylooking young man of fiveandtwenty his air was grave and

stately and his manners were very formal he had not been long seated

before he complimented mrs bennet on having so fine a family of

daughters said he had heard much of their beauty but that in this

instance fame had fallen short of the truth and added that he did

not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage this

gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers but mrs

bennet who quarreled with no compliments answered most readily

you are very kind i am sure and i wish with all my heart it may

prove so for else they will be destitute enough things are settled so

oddly

you allude perhaps to the entail of this estate

ah sir i do indeed it is a grievous affair to my poor girls you

must confess not that i mean to find fault with you for such things

i know are all chance in this world there is no knowing how estates

will go when once they come to be entailed

i am very sensible madam of the hardship to my fair cousins and

could say much on the subject but that i am cautious of appearing

forward and precipitate but i can assure the young ladies that i come

prepared to admire them at present i will not say more but perhaps

when we are better acquainted

he was interrupted by a summons to dinner and the girls smiled on each

other they were not the only objects of mr collinss admiration the

hall the diningroom and all its furniture were examined and praised

and his commendation of everything would have touched mrs bennets

heart but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his

own future property the dinner too in its turn was highly admired and

he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its

cooking was owing but he was set right there by mrs bennet who

assured him with some asperity that they were very well able to keep a

good cook and that her daughters had nothing to do in the kitchen he

begged pardon for having displeased her in a softened tone she declared

herself not at all offended but he continued to apologise for about a

quarter of an hour

chapter 

during dinner mr bennet scarcely spoke at all but when the servants

were withdrawn he thought it time to have some conversation with his

guest and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to

shine by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness lady

catherine de bourghs attention to his wishes and consideration for

his comfort appeared very remarkable mr bennet could not have chosen

better mr collins was eloquent in her praise the subject elevated him

to more than usual solemnity of manner and with a most important aspect

he protested that he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in

a person of ranksuch affability and condescension as he had himself

experienced from lady catherine she had been graciously pleased to

approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of

preaching before her she had also asked him twice to dine at rosings

and had sent for him only the saturday before to make up her pool of

quadrille in the evening lady catherine was reckoned proud by many

people he knew but he had never seen anything but affability in her

she had always spoken to him as she would to any other gentleman she

made not the smallest objection to his joining in the society of the

neighbourhood nor to his leaving the parish occasionally for a week or

two to visit his relations she had even condescended to advise him to

marry as soon as he could provided he chose with discretion and had

once paid him a visit in his humble parsonage where she had perfectly

approved all the alterations he had been making and had even vouchsafed

to suggest some herselfsome shelves in the closet up stairs

that is all very proper and civil i am sure said mrs bennet and

i dare say she is a very agreeable woman it is a pity that great ladies

in general are not more like her does she live near you sir

the garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane

from rosings park her ladyships residence

i think you said she was a widow sir has she any family

she has only one daughter the heiress of rosings and of very

extensive property

ah said mrs bennet shaking her head then she is better off than

many girls and what sort of young lady is she is she handsome

she is a most charming young lady indeed lady catherine herself says

that in point of true beauty miss de bourgh is far superior to the

handsomest of her sex because there is that in her features which marks

the young lady of distinguished birth she is unfortunately of a sickly

constitution which has prevented her from making that progress in many

accomplishments which she could not have otherwise failed of as i am

informed by the lady who superintended her education and who still

resides with them but she is perfectly amiable and often condescends

to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies

has she been presented i do not remember her name among the ladies at

court

her indifferent state of health unhappily prevents her being in town

and by that means as i told lady catherine one day has deprived the

british court of its brightest ornament her ladyship seemed pleased

with the idea and you may imagine that i am happy on every occasion to

offer those little delicate compliments which are always acceptable

to ladies i have more than once observed to lady catherine that

her charming daughter seemed born to be a duchess and that the most

elevated rank instead of giving her consequence would be adorned by

her these are the kind of little things which please her ladyship and

it is a sort of attention which i conceive myself peculiarly bound to

pay

you judge very properly said mr bennet and it is happy for you

that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy may i ask

whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the

moment or are the result of previous study

they arise chiefly from what is passing at the time and though i

sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant

compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions i always wish to

give them as unstudied an air as possible

mr bennets expectations were fully answered his cousin was as absurd

as he had hoped and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment

maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance

and except in an occasional glance at elizabeth requiring no partner

in his pleasure

by teatime however the dose had been enough and mr bennet was glad

to take his guest into the drawingroom again and when tea was over

glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies mr collins readily

assented and a book was produced but on beholding it for everything

announced it to be from a circulating library he started back and

begging pardon protested that he never read novels kitty stared at

him and lydia exclaimed other books were produced and after some

deliberation he chose fordyces sermons lydia gaped as he opened the

volume and before he had with very monotonous solemnity read three

pages she interrupted him with

do you know mamma that my uncle phillips talks of turning away

richard and if he does colonel forster will hire him my aunt told me

so herself on saturday i shall walk to meryton tomorrow to hear more

about it and to ask when mr denny comes back from town

lydia was bid by her two eldest sisters to hold her tongue but mr

collins much offended laid aside his book and said

i have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books

of a serious stamp though written solely for their benefit it amazes

me i confess for certainly there can be nothing so advantageous to

them as instruction but i will no longer importune my young cousin

then turning to mr bennet he offered himself as his antagonist at

backgammon mr bennet accepted the challenge observing that he acted

very wisely in leaving the girls to their own trifling amusements

mrs bennet and her daughters apologised most civilly for lydias

interruption and promised that it should not occur again if he would

resume his book but mr collins after assuring them that he bore his

young cousin no illwill and should never resent her behaviour as any

affront seated himself at another table with mr bennet and prepared

for backgammon

chapter 

mr collins was not a sensible man and the deficiency of nature had

been but little assisted by education or society the greatest part

of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and

miserly father and though he belonged to one of the universities he

had merely kept the necessary terms without forming at it any useful

acquaintance the subjection in which his father had brought him up had

given him originally great humility of manner but it was now a

good deal counteracted by the selfconceit of a weak head living in

retirement and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected

prosperity a fortunate chance had recommended him to lady catherine de

bourgh when the living of hunsford was vacant and the respect which

he felt for her high rank and his veneration for her as his patroness

mingling with a very good opinion of himself of his authority as a

clergyman and his right as a rector made him altogether a mixture of

pride and obsequiousness selfimportance and humility

having now a good house and a very sufficient income he intended to

marry and in seeking a reconciliation with the longbourn family he had

a wife in view as he meant to choose one of the daughters if he found

them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report

this was his plan of amendsof atonementfor inheriting their fathers

estate and he thought it an excellent one full of eligibility and

suitableness and excessively generous and disinterested on his own

part

his plan did not vary on seeing them miss bennets lovely face

confirmed his views and established all his strictest notions of what

was due to seniority and for the first evening she was his settled

choice the next morning however made an alteration for in a

quarter of an hours teteatete with mrs bennet before breakfast a

conversation beginning with his parsonagehouse and leading naturally

to the avowal of his hopes that a mistress might be found for it at

longbourn produced from her amid very complaisant smiles and general

encouragement a caution against the very jane he had fixed on as to

her younger daughters she could not take upon her to sayshe could

not positively answerbut she did not know of any prepossession her

eldest daughter she must just mentionshe felt it incumbent on her

to hint was likely to be very soon engaged

mr collins had only to change from jane to elizabethand it was soon

donedone while mrs bennet was stirring the fire elizabeth equally

next to jane in birth and beauty succeeded her of course

mrs bennet treasured up the hint and trusted that she might soon have

two daughters married and the man whom she could not bear to speak of

the day before was now high in her good graces

lydias intention of walking to meryton was not forgotten every sister

except mary agreed to go with her and mr collins was to attend them

at the request of mr bennet who was most anxious to get rid of him

and have his library to himself for thither mr collins had followed

him after breakfast and there he would continue nominally engaged with

one of the largest folios in the collection but really talking to mr

bennet with little cessation of his house and garden at hunsford such

doings discomposed mr bennet exceedingly in his library he had been

always sure of leisure and tranquillity and though prepared as he told

elizabeth to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the

house he was used to be free from them there his civility therefore

was most prompt in inviting mr collins to join his daughters in their

walk and mr collins being in fact much better fitted for a walker

than a reader was extremely pleased to close his large book and go

in pompous nothings on his side and civil assents on that of his

cousins their time passed till they entered meryton the attention of

the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him their eyes were

immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers and

nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed or a really new muslin in

a shop window could recall them

but the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man whom

they had never seen before of most gentlemanlike appearance walking

with another officer on the other side of the way the officer was

the very mr denny concerning whose return from london lydia came

to inquire and he bowed as they passed all were struck with the

strangers air all wondered who he could be and kitty and lydia

determined if possible to find out led the way across the street under

pretense of wanting something in an opposite shop and fortunately

had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen turning back had

reached the same spot mr denny addressed them directly and entreated

permission to introduce his friend mr wickham who had returned with

him the day before from town and he was happy to say had accepted a

commission in their corps this was exactly as it should be for the

young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming

his appearance was greatly in his favour he had all the best part of

beauty a fine countenance a good figure and very pleasing address

the introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness

of conversationa readiness at the same time perfectly correct and

unassuming and the whole party were still standing and talking together

very agreeably when the sound of horses drew their notice and darcy

and bingley were seen riding down the street on distinguishing the

ladies of the group the two gentlemen came directly towards them and

began the usual civilities bingley was the principal spokesman and

miss bennet the principal object he was then he said on his way to

longbourn on purpose to inquire after her mr darcy corroborated

it with a bow and was beginning to determine not to fix his eyes

on elizabeth when they were suddenly arrested by the sight of the

stranger and elizabeth happening to see the countenance of both as they

looked at each other was all astonishment at the effect of the meeting

both changed colour one looked white the other red mr wickham

after a few moments touched his hata salutation which mr darcy just

deigned to return what could be the meaning of it it was impossible to

imagine it was impossible not to long to know

in another minute mr bingley but without seeming to have noticed what

passed took leave and rode on with his friend

mr denny and mr wickham walked with the young ladies to the door of

mr phillips house and then made their bows in spite of miss lydias

pressing entreaties that they should come in and even in spite of

mrs phillipss throwing up the parlour window and loudly seconding the

invitation

mrs phillips was always glad to see her nieces and the two eldest

from their recent absence were particularly welcome and she was

eagerly expressing her surprise at their sudden return home which as

their own carriage had not fetched them she should have known nothing

about if she had not happened to see mr joness shopboy in the

street who had told her that they were not to send any more draughts to

netherfield because the miss bennets were come away when her civility

was claimed towards mr collins by janes introduction of him she

received him with her very best politeness which he returned with

as much more apologising for his intrusion without any previous

acquaintance with her which he could not help flattering himself

however might be justified by his relationship to the young ladies who

introduced him to her notice mrs phillips was quite awed by such an

excess of good breeding but her contemplation of one stranger was soon

put to an end by exclamations and inquiries about the other of whom

however she could only tell her nieces what they already knew that

mr denny had brought him from london and that he was to have a

lieutenants commission in the shire she had been watching him the

last hour she said as he walked up and down the street and had mr

wickham appeared kitty and lydia would certainly have continued the

occupation but unluckily no one passed windows now except a few of the

officers who in comparison with the stranger were become stupid

disagreeable fellows some of them were to dine with the phillipses

the next day and their aunt promised to make her husband call on mr

wickham and give him an invitation also if the family from longbourn

would come in the evening this was agreed to and mrs phillips

protested that they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery

tickets and a little bit of hot supper afterwards the prospect of such

delights was very cheering and they parted in mutual good spirits mr

collins repeated his apologies in quitting the room and was assured

with unwearying civility that they were perfectly needless

as they walked home elizabeth related to jane what she had seen pass

between the two gentlemen but though jane would have defended either

or both had they appeared to be in the wrong she could no more explain

such behaviour than her sister

mr collins on his return highly gratified mrs bennet by admiring

mrs phillipss manners and politeness he protested that except lady

catherine and her daughter he had never seen a more elegant woman

for she had not only received him with the utmost civility but even

pointedly included him in her invitation for the next evening although

utterly unknown to her before something he supposed might be

attributed to his connection with them but yet he had never met with so

much attention in the whole course of his life

chapter 

as no objection was made to the young peoples engagement with their

aunt and all mr collinss scruples of leaving mr and mrs bennet for

a single evening during his visit were most steadily resisted the coach

conveyed him and his five cousins at a suitable hour to meryton and

the girls had the pleasure of hearing as they entered the drawingroom

that mr wickham had accepted their uncles invitation and was then in

the house

when this information was given and they had all taken their seats mr

collins was at leisure to look around him and admire and he was so much

struck with the size and furniture of the apartment that he declared he

might almost have supposed himself in the small summer breakfast

parlour at rosings a comparison that did not at first convey much

gratification but when mrs phillips understood from him what

rosings was and who was its proprietorwhen she had listened to the

description of only one of lady catherines drawingrooms and found

that the chimneypiece alone had cost eight hundred pounds she felt all

the force of the compliment and would hardly have resented a comparison

with the housekeepers room

in describing to her all the grandeur of lady catherine and her mansion

with occasional digressions in praise of his own humble abode and

the improvements it was receiving he was happily employed until the

gentlemen joined them and he found in mrs phillips a very attentive

listener whose opinion of his consequence increased with what she

heard and who was resolving to retail it all among her neighbours as

soon as she could to the girls who could not listen to their cousin

and who had nothing to do but to wish for an instrument and examine

their own indifferent imitations of china on the mantelpiece the

interval of waiting appeared very long it was over at last however

the gentlemen did approach and when mr wickham walked into the room

elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before nor thinking

of him since with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration

the officers of the shire were in general a very creditable

gentlemanlike set and the best of them were of the present party but

mr wickham was as far beyond them all in person countenance air and

walk as they were superior to the broadfaced stuffy uncle phillips

breathing port wine who followed them into the room

mr wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was

turned and elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated

himself and the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into

conversation though it was only on its being a wet night made her feel

that the commonest dullest most threadbare topic might be rendered

interesting by the skill of the speaker

with such rivals for the notice of the fair as mr wickham and the

officers mr collins seemed to sink into insignificance to the young

ladies he certainly was nothing but he had still at intervals a kind

listener in mrs phillips and was by her watchfulness most abundantly

supplied with coffee and muffin when the cardtables were placed he

had the opportunity of obliging her in turn by sitting down to whist

i know little of the game at present said he but i shall be glad

to improve myself for in my situation in life mrs phillips was very

glad for his compliance but could not wait for his reason

mr wickham did not play at whist and with ready delight was he

received at the other table between elizabeth and lydia at first there

seemed danger of lydias engrossing him entirely for she was a most

determined talker but being likewise extremely fond of lottery tickets

she soon grew too much interested in the game too eager in making bets

and exclaiming after prizes to have attention for anyone in particular

allowing for the common demands of the game mr wickham was therefore

at leisure to talk to elizabeth and she was very willing to hear

him though what she chiefly wished to hear she could not hope to be

toldthe history of his acquaintance with mr darcy she dared not

even mention that gentleman her curiosity however was unexpectedly

relieved mr wickham began the subject himself he inquired how far

netherfield was from meryton and after receiving her answer asked in

a hesitating manner how long mr darcy had been staying there

about a month said elizabeth and then unwilling to let the subject

drop added he is a man of very large property in derbyshire i

understand

yes replied mr wickham his estate there is a noble one a clear

ten thousand per annum you could not have met with a person more

capable of giving you certain information on that head than myself for

i have been connected with his family in a particular manner from my

infancy

elizabeth could not but look surprised

you may well be surprised miss bennet at such an assertion after

seeing as you probably might the very cold manner of our meeting

yesterday are you much acquainted with mr darcy

as much as i ever wish to be cried elizabeth very warmly i have

spent four days in the same house with him and i think him very

disagreeable

i have no right to give my opinion said wickham as to his being

agreeable or otherwise i am not qualified to form one i have known him

too long and too well to be a fair judge it is impossible for me

to be impartial but i believe your opinion of him would in general

astonishand perhaps you would not express it quite so strongly

anywhere else here you are in your own family

upon my word i say no more here than i might say in any house in

the neighbourhood except netherfield he is not at all liked in

hertfordshire everybody is disgusted with his pride you will not find

him more favourably spoken of by anyone

i cannot pretend to be sorry said wickham after a short

interruption that he or that any man should not be estimated beyond

their deserts but with him i believe it does not often happen the

world is blinded by his fortune and consequence or frightened by his

high and imposing manners and sees him only as he chooses to be seen

i should take him even on my slight acquaintance to be an

illtempered man wickham only shook his head

i wonder said he at the next opportunity of speaking whether he is

likely to be in this country much longer

i do not at all know but i heard nothing of his going away when i

was at netherfield i hope your plans in favour of the shire will

not be affected by his being in the neighbourhood

oh noit is not for me to be driven away by mr darcy if he

wishes to avoid seeing me he must go we are not on friendly terms

and it always gives me pain to meet him but i have no reason for

avoiding him but what i might proclaim before all the world a sense

of very great illusage and most painful regrets at his being what he

is his father miss bennet the late mr darcy was one of the best men

that ever breathed and the truest friend i ever had and i can never

be in company with this mr darcy without being grieved to the soul by

a thousand tender recollections his behaviour to myself has been

scandalous but i verily believe i could forgive him anything and

everything rather than his disappointing the hopes and disgracing the

memory of his father

elizabeth found the interest of the subject increase and listened with

all her heart but the delicacy of it prevented further inquiry

mr wickham began to speak on more general topics meryton the

neighbourhood the society appearing highly pleased with all that

he had yet seen and speaking of the latter with gentle but very

intelligible gallantry

it was the prospect of constant society and good society he added

which was my chief inducement to enter the shire i knew it to be

a most respectable agreeable corps and my friend denny tempted me

further by his account of their present quarters and the very great

attentions and excellent acquaintances meryton had procured them

society i own is necessary to me i have been a disappointed man and

my spirits will not bear solitude i must have employment and society

a military life is not what i was intended for but circumstances have

now made it eligible the church ought to have been my professioni

was brought up for the church and i should at this time have been in

possession of a most valuable living had it pleased the gentleman we

were speaking of just now

indeed

yesthe late mr darcy bequeathed me the next presentation of the best

living in his gift he was my godfather and excessively attached to me

i cannot do justice to his kindness he meant to provide for me amply

and thought he had done it but when the living fell it was given

elsewhere

good heavens cried elizabeth but how could that be how could his

will be disregarded why did you not seek legal redress

there was just such an informality in the terms of the bequest as to

give me no hope from law a man of honour could not have doubted the

intention but mr darcy chose to doubt itor to treat it as a merely

conditional recommendation and to assert that i had forfeited all claim

to it by extravagance imprudencein short anything or nothing certain

it is that the living became vacant two years ago exactly as i was

of an age to hold it and that it was given to another man and no

less certain is it that i cannot accuse myself of having really done

anything to deserve to lose it i have a warm unguarded temper and

i may have spoken my opinion of him and to him too freely i can

recall nothing worse but the fact is that we are very different sort

of men and that he hates me

this is quite shocking he deserves to be publicly disgraced

some time or other he will bebut it shall not be by me till i

can forget his father i can never defy or expose him

elizabeth honoured him for such feelings and thought him handsomer than

ever as he expressed them

but what said she after a pause can have been his motive what can

have induced him to behave so cruelly

a thorough determined dislike of mea dislike which i cannot but

attribute in some measure to jealousy had the late mr darcy liked me

less his son might have borne with me better but his fathers uncommon

attachment to me irritated him i believe very early in life he had

not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stoodthe sort

of preference which was often given me

i had not thought mr darcy so bad as thisthough i have never liked

him i had not thought so very ill of him i had supposed him to be

despising his fellowcreatures in general but did not suspect him of

descending to such malicious revenge such injustice such inhumanity as

this

after a few minutes reflection however she continued i do

remember his boasting one day at netherfield of the implacability of

his resentments of his having an unforgiving temper his disposition

must be dreadful

i will not trust myself on the subject replied wickham i can hardly

be just to him

elizabeth was again deep in thought and after a time exclaimed to

treat in such a manner the godson the friend the favourite of his

father she could have added a young man too like you whose very

countenance may vouch for your being amiablebut she contented herself

with and one too who had probably been his companion from childhood

connected together as i think you said in the closest manner

we were born in the same parish within the same park the greatest

part of our youth was passed together inmates of the same house

sharing the same amusements objects of the same parental care my

father began life in the profession which your uncle mr phillips

appears to do so much credit tobut he gave up everything to be of

use to the late mr darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the

pemberley property he was most highly esteemed by mr darcy a most

intimate confidential friend mr darcy often acknowledged himself to

be under the greatest obligations to my fathers active superintendence

and when immediately before my fathers death mr darcy gave him a

voluntary promise of providing for me i am convinced that he felt it to

be as much a debt of gratitude to him as of his affection to myself

how strange cried elizabeth how abominable i wonder that the very

pride of this mr darcy has not made him just to you if from no better

motive that he should not have been too proud to be dishonestfor

dishonesty i must call it

it is wonderful replied wickham for almost all his actions may

be traced to pride and pride had often been his best friend it has

connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling but we are

none of us consistent and in his behaviour to me there were stronger

impulses even than pride

can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good

yes it has often led him to be liberal and generous to give his money

freely to display hospitality to assist his tenants and relieve the

poor family pride and filial pridefor he is very proud of what

his father washave done this not to appear to disgrace his family

to degenerate from the popular qualities or lose the influence of the

pemberley house is a powerful motive he has also brotherly pride

which with some brotherly affection makes him a very kind and

careful guardian of his sister and you will hear him generally cried up

as the most attentive and best of brothers

what sort of girl is miss darcy

he shook his head i wish i could call her amiable it gives me pain to

speak ill of a darcy but she is too much like her brothervery very

proud as a child she was affectionate and pleasing and extremely fond

of me and i have devoted hours and hours to her amusement but she is

nothing to me now she is a handsome girl about fifteen or sixteen

and i understand highly accomplished since her fathers death her

home has been london where a lady lives with her and superintends her

education

after many pauses and many trials of other subjects elizabeth could not

help reverting once more to the first and saying

i am astonished at his intimacy with mr bingley how can mr bingley

who seems good humour itself and is i really believe truly amiable

be in friendship with such a man how can they suit each other do you

know mr bingley

not at all

he is a sweettempered amiable charming man he cannot know what mr

darcy is

probably not but mr darcy can please where he chooses he does not

want abilities he can be a conversible companion if he thinks it worth

his while among those who are at all his equals in consequence he is

a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous his

pride never deserts him but with the rich he is liberalminded just

sincere rational honourable and perhaps agreeableallowing something

for fortune and figure

the whist party soon afterwards breaking up the players gathered round

the other table and mr collins took his station between his cousin

elizabeth and mrs phillips the usual inquiries as to his success were

made by the latter it had not been very great he had lost every

point but when mrs phillips began to express her concern thereupon

he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least

importance that he considered the money as a mere trifle and begged

that she would not make herself uneasy

i know very well madam said he that when persons sit down to a

cardtable they must take their chances of these things and happily i

am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object there

are undoubtedly many who could not say the same but thanks to lady

catherine de bourgh i am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding

little matters

mr wickhams attention was caught and after observing mr collins for

a few moments he asked elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation

was very intimately acquainted with the family of de bourgh

lady catherine de bourgh she replied has very lately given him

a living i hardly know how mr collins was first introduced to her

notice but he certainly has not known her long

you know of course that lady catherine de bourgh and lady anne darcy

were sisters consequently that she is aunt to the present mr darcy

no indeed i did not i knew nothing at all of lady catherines

connections i never heard of her existence till the day before

yesterday

her daughter miss de bourgh will have a very large fortune and it is

believed that she and her cousin will unite the two estates

this information made elizabeth smile as she thought of poor miss

bingley vain indeed must be all her attentions vain and useless her

affection for his sister and her praise of himself if he were already

selfdestined for another

mr collins said she speaks highly both of lady catherine and her

daughter but from some particulars that he has related of her ladyship

i suspect his gratitude misleads him and that in spite of her being his

patroness she is an arrogant conceited woman

i believe her to be both in a great degree replied wickham i have

not seen her for many years but i very well remember that i never liked

her and that her manners were dictatorial and insolent she has the

reputation of being remarkably sensible and clever but i rather believe

she derives part of her abilities from her rank and fortune part from

her authoritative manner and the rest from the pride for her

nephew who chooses that everyone connected with him should have an

understanding of the first class

elizabeth allowed that he had given a very rational account of it and

they continued talking together with mutual satisfaction till supper

put an end to cards and gave the rest of the ladies their share of mr

wickhams attentions there could be no conversation in the noise

of mrs phillipss supper party but his manners recommended him to

everybody whatever he said was said well and whatever he did done

gracefully elizabeth went away with her head full of him she could

think of nothing but of mr wickham and of what he had told her all

the way home but there was not time for her even to mention his name

as they went for neither lydia nor mr collins were once silent lydia

talked incessantly of lottery tickets of the fish she had lost and the

fish she had won and mr collins in describing the civility of mr and

mrs phillips protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses

at whist enumerating all the dishes at supper and repeatedly fearing

that he crowded his cousins had more to say than he could well manage

before the carriage stopped at longbourn house

chapter 

elizabeth related to jane the next day what had passed between mr

wickham and herself jane listened with astonishment and concern she

knew not how to believe that mr darcy could be so unworthy of mr

bingleys regard and yet it was not in her nature to question the

veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as wickham the

possibility of his having endured such unkindness was enough to

interest all her tender feelings and nothing remained therefore to be

done but to think well of them both to defend the conduct of each

and throw into the account of accident or mistake whatever could not be

otherwise explained

they have both said she been deceived i dare say in some way

or other of which we can form no idea interested people have perhaps

misrepresented each to the other it is in short impossible for us to

conjecture the causes or circumstances which may have alienated them

without actual blame on either side

very true indeed and now my dear jane what have you got to say on

behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the

business do clear them too or we shall be obliged to think ill of

somebody

laugh as much as you choose but you will not laugh me out of my

opinion my dearest lizzy do but consider in what a disgraceful light

it places mr darcy to be treating his fathers favourite in such

a manner one whom his father had promised to provide for it is

impossible no man of common humanity no man who had any value for his

character could be capable of it can his most intimate friends be so

excessively deceived in him oh no

i can much more easily believe mr bingleys being imposed on than

that mr wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me

last night names facts everything mentioned without ceremony if it

be not so let mr darcy contradict it besides there was truth in his

looks

it is difficult indeedit is distressing one does not know what to

think

i beg your pardon one knows exactly what to think

but jane could think with certainty on only one pointthat mr bingley

if he had been imposed on would have much to suffer when the affair

became public

the two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery where this

conversation passed by the arrival of the very persons of whom they had

been speaking mr bingley and his sisters came to give their personal

invitation for the longexpected ball at netherfield which was fixed

for the following tuesday the two ladies were delighted to see their

dear friend again called it an age since they had met and repeatedly

asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation to

the rest of the family they paid little attention avoiding mrs bennet

as much as possible saying not much to elizabeth and nothing at all to

the others they were soon gone again rising from their seats with an

activity which took their brother by surprise and hurrying off as if

eager to escape from mrs bennets civilities

the prospect of the netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every

female of the family mrs bennet chose to consider it as given in

compliment to her eldest daughter and was particularly flattered

by receiving the invitation from mr bingley himself instead of a

ceremonious card jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the

society of her two friends and the attentions of their brother and

elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with mr

wickham and of seeing a confirmation of everything in mr darcys look

and behaviour the happiness anticipated by catherine and lydia depended

less on any single event or any particular person for though they

each like elizabeth meant to dance half the evening with mr wickham

he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them and a ball

was at any rate a ball and even mary could assure her family that she

had no disinclination for it

while i can have my mornings to myself said she it is enoughi

think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements

society has claims on us all and i profess myself one of those

who consider intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for

everybody

elizabeths spirits were so high on this occasion that though she did

not often speak unnecessarily to mr collins she could not help asking

him whether he intended to accept mr bingleys invitation and if

he did whether he would think it proper to join in the evenings

amusement and she was rather surprised to find that he entertained no

scruple whatever on that head and was very far from dreading a rebuke

either from the archbishop or lady catherine de bourgh by venturing to

dance

i am by no means of the opinion i assure you said he that a ball

of this kind given by a young man of character to respectable people

can have any evil tendency and i am so far from objecting to dancing

myself that i shall hope to be honoured with the hands of all my fair

cousins in the course of the evening and i take this opportunity of

soliciting yours miss elizabeth for the two first dances especially

a preference which i trust my cousin jane will attribute to the right

cause and not to any disrespect for her

elizabeth felt herself completely taken in she had fully proposed being

engaged by mr wickham for those very dances and to have mr collins

instead her liveliness had never been worse timed there was no help

for it however mr wickhams happiness and her own were perforce

delayed a little longer and mr collinss proposal accepted with as

good a grace as she could she was not the better pleased with his

gallantry from the idea it suggested of something more it now first

struck her that she was selected from among her sisters as worthy

of being mistress of hunsford parsonage and of assisting to form a

quadrille table at rosings in the absence of more eligible visitors

the idea soon reached to conviction as she observed his increasing

civilities toward herself and heard his frequent attempt at a

compliment on her wit and vivacity and though more astonished than

gratified herself by this effect of her charms it was not long before

her mother gave her to understand that the probability of their marriage

was extremely agreeable to her elizabeth however did not choose

to take the hint being well aware that a serious dispute must be the

consequence of any reply mr collins might never make the offer and

till he did it was useless to quarrel about him

if there had not been a netherfield ball to prepare for and talk of the

younger miss bennets would have been in a very pitiable state at this

time for from the day of the invitation to the day of the ball there

was such a succession of rain as prevented their walking to meryton

once no aunt no officers no news could be sought afterthe very

shoeroses for netherfield were got by proxy even elizabeth might have

found some trial of her patience in weather which totally suspended the

improvement of her acquaintance with mr wickham and nothing less than

a dance on tuesday could have made such a friday saturday sunday and

monday endurable to kitty and lydia

chapter 

till elizabeth entered the drawingroom at netherfield and looked in

vain for mr wickham among the cluster of red coats there assembled a

doubt of his being present had never occurred to her the certainty

of meeting him had not been checked by any of those recollections that

might not unreasonably have alarmed her she had dressed with more than

usual care and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all

that remained unsubdued of his heart trusting that it was not more than

might be won in the course of the evening but in an instant arose

the dreadful suspicion of his being purposely omitted for mr darcys

pleasure in the bingleys invitation to the officers and though

this was not exactly the case the absolute fact of his absence was

pronounced by his friend denny to whom lydia eagerly applied and who

told them that wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the

day before and was not yet returned adding with a significant smile

i do not imagine his business would have called him away just now if

he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here

this part of his intelligence though unheard by lydia was caught by

elizabeth and as it assured her that darcy was not less answerable for

wickhams absence than if her first surmise had been just every

feeling of displeasure against the former was so sharpened by immediate

disappointment that she could hardly reply with tolerable civility to

the polite inquiries which he directly afterwards approached to make

attendance forbearance patience with darcy was injury to wickham she

was resolved against any sort of conversation with him and turned away

with a degree of illhumour which she could not wholly surmount even in

speaking to mr bingley whose blind partiality provoked her

but elizabeth was not formed for illhumour and though every prospect

of her own was destroyed for the evening it could not dwell long on her

spirits and having told all her griefs to charlotte lucas whom she had

not seen for a week she was soon able to make a voluntary transition

to the oddities of her cousin and to point him out to her particular

notice the first two dances however brought a return of distress

they were dances of mortification mr collins awkward and solemn

apologising instead of attending and often moving wrong without being

aware of it gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable

partner for a couple of dances can give the moment of her release from

him was ecstasy

she danced next with an officer and had the refreshment of talking of

wickham and of hearing that he was universally liked when those dances

were over she returned to charlotte lucas and was in conversation with

her when she found herself suddenly addressed by mr darcy who took

her so much by surprise in his application for her hand that

without knowing what she did she accepted him he walked away again

immediately and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of

mind charlotte tried to console her

i dare say you will find him very agreeable

heaven forbid that would be the greatest misfortune of all to find

a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate do not wish me such an

evil

when the dancing recommenced however and darcy approached to claim her

hand charlotte could not help cautioning her in a whisper not to be a

simpleton and allow her fancy for wickham to make her appear unpleasant

in the eyes of a man ten times his consequence elizabeth made no

answer and took her place in the set amazed at the dignity to which

she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to mr darcy and

reading in her neighbours looks their equal amazement in beholding

it they stood for some time without speaking a word and she began to

imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances and at

first was resolved not to break it till suddenly fancying that it would

be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk she made

some slight observation on the dance he replied and was again

silent after a pause of some minutes she addressed him a second time

withit is your turn to say something now mr darcy i talked

about the dance and you ought to make some sort of remark on the size

of the room or the number of couples

he smiled and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be

said

very well that reply will do for the present perhaps by and by i may

observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones but

now we may be silent

do you talk by rule then while you are dancing

sometimes one must speak a little you know it would look odd to be

entirely silent for half an hour together and yet for the advantage of

some conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the

trouble of saying as little as possible

are you consulting your own feelings in the present case or do you

imagine that you are gratifying mine

both replied elizabeth archly for i have always seen a great

similarity in the turn of our minds we are each of an unsocial

taciturn disposition unwilling to speak unless we expect to say

something that will amaze the whole room and be handed down to

posterity with all the eclat of a proverb

this is no very striking resemblance of your own character i am sure

said he how near it may be to mine i cannot pretend to say you

think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly

i must not decide on my own performance

he made no answer and they were again silent till they had gone down

the dance when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often

walk to meryton she answered in the affirmative and unable to resist

the temptation added when you met us there the other day we had just

been forming a new acquaintance

the effect was immediate a deeper shade of hauteur overspread his

features but he said not a word and elizabeth though blaming herself

for her own weakness could not go on at length darcy spoke and in a

constrained manner said mr wickham is blessed with such happy manners

as may ensure his making friendswhether he may be equally capable of

retaining them is less certain

he has been so unlucky as to lose your friendship replied elizabeth

with emphasis and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all

his life

darcy made no answer and seemed desirous of changing the subject at

that moment sir william lucas appeared close to them meaning to pass

through the set to the other side of the room but on perceiving mr

darcy he stopped with a bow of superior courtesy to compliment him on

his dancing and his partner

i have been most highly gratified indeed my dear sir such very

superior dancing is not often seen it is evident that you belong to the

first circles allow me to say however that your fair partner does not

disgrace you and that i must hope to have this pleasure often repeated

especially when a certain desirable event my dear eliza glancing at

her sister and bingley shall take place what congratulations will then

flow in i appeal to mr darcybut let me not interrupt you sir you

will not thank me for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that

young lady whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me

the latter part of this address was scarcely heard by darcy but sir

williams allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly and his

eyes were directed with a very serious expression towards bingley and

jane who were dancing together recovering himself however shortly

he turned to his partner and said sir williams interruption has made

me forget what we were talking of

i do not think we were speaking at all sir william could not have

interrupted two people in the room who had less to say for themselves

we have tried two or three subjects already without success and what we

are to talk of next i cannot imagine

what think you of books said he smiling

booksoh no i am sure we never read the same or not with the same

feelings

i am sorry you think so but if that be the case there can at least be

no want of subject we may compare our different opinions

noi cannot talk of books in a ballroom my head is always full of

something else

the present always occupies you in such scenesdoes it said he

with a look of doubt

yes always she replied without knowing what she said for her

thoughts had wandered far from the subject as soon afterwards appeared

by her suddenly exclaiming i remember hearing you once say mr darcy

that you hardly ever forgave that your resentment once created was

unappeasable you are very cautious i suppose as to its being

created

i am said he with a firm voice

and never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice

i hope not

it is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion

to be secure of judging properly at first

may i ask to what these questions tend

merely to the illustration of your character said she endeavouring

to shake off her gravity i am trying to make it out

and what is your success

she shook her head i do not get on at all i hear such different

accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly

i can readily believe answered he gravely that reports may vary

greatly with respect to me and i could wish miss bennet that you were

not to sketch my character at the present moment as there is reason to

fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either

but if i do not take your likeness now i may never have another

opportunity

i would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours he coldly replied

she said no more and they went down the other dance and parted in

silence and on each side dissatisfied though not to an equal degree

for in darcys breast there was a tolerably powerful feeling towards

her which soon procured her pardon and directed all his anger against

another

they had not long separated when miss bingley came towards her and

with an expression of civil disdain accosted her

so miss eliza i hear you are quite delighted with george wickham

your sister has been talking to me about him and asking me a thousand

questions and i find that the young man quite forgot to tell you among

his other communication that he was the son of old wickham the late

mr darcys steward let me recommend you however as a friend not to

give implicit confidence to all his assertions for as to mr darcys

using him ill it is perfectly false for on the contrary he has

always been remarkably kind to him though george wickham has treated

mr darcy in a most infamous manner i do not know the particulars but

i know very well that mr darcy is not in the least to blame that he

cannot bear to hear george wickham mentioned and that though my brother

thought that he could not well avoid including him in his invitation to

the officers he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself

out of the way his coming into the country at all is a most insolent

thing indeed and i wonder how he could presume to do it i pity you

miss eliza for this discovery of your favourites guilt but really

considering his descent one could not expect much better

his guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same said

elizabeth angrily for i have heard you accuse him of nothing worse

than of being the son of mr darcys steward and of that i can

assure you he informed me himself

i beg your pardon replied miss bingley turning away with a sneer

excuse my interferenceit was kindly meant

insolent girl said elizabeth to herself you are much mistaken

if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this i see

nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of mr

darcy she then sought her eldest sister who had undertaken to make

inquiries on the same subject of bingley jane met her with a smile of

such sweet complacency a glow of such happy expression as sufficiently

marked how well she was satisfied with the occurrences of the evening

elizabeth instantly read her feelings and at that moment solicitude for

wickham resentment against his enemies and everything else gave way

before the hope of janes being in the fairest way for happiness

i want to know said she with a countenance no less smiling than her

sisters what you have learnt about mr wickham but perhaps you have

been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person in which case

you may be sure of my pardon

no replied jane i have not forgotten him but i have nothing

satisfactory to tell you mr bingley does not know the whole of

his history and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have

principally offended mr darcy but he will vouch for the good conduct

the probity and honour of his friend and is perfectly convinced that

mr wickham has deserved much less attention from mr darcy than he has

received and i am sorry to say by his account as well as his sisters

mr wickham is by no means a respectable young man i am afraid he has

been very imprudent and has deserved to lose mr darcys regard

mr bingley does not know mr wickham himself

no he never saw him till the other morning at meryton

this account then is what he has received from mr darcy i am

satisfied but what does he say of the living

he does not exactly recollect the circumstances though he has heard

them from mr darcy more than once but he believes that it was left to

him conditionally only

i have not a doubt of mr bingleys sincerity said elizabeth warmly

but you must excuse my not being convinced by assurances only mr

bingleys defense of his friend was a very able one i dare say but

since he is unacquainted with several parts of the story and has learnt

the rest from that friend himself i shall venture to still think of

both gentlemen as i did before

she then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each and on

which there could be no difference of sentiment elizabeth listened with

delight to the happy though modest hopes which jane entertained of mr

bingleys regard and said all in her power to heighten her confidence

in it on their being joined by mr bingley himself elizabeth withdrew

to miss lucas to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last

partner she had scarcely replied before mr collins came up to them

and told her with great exultation that he had just been so fortunate as

to make a most important discovery

i have found out said he by a singular accident that there is now

in the room a near relation of my patroness i happened to overhear the

gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the honours of

the house the names of his cousin miss de bourgh and of her mother lady

catherine how wonderfully these sort of things occur who would have

thought of my meeting with perhaps a nephew of lady catherine de

bourgh in this assembly i am most thankful that the discovery is made

in time for me to pay my respects to him which i am now going to

do and trust he will excuse my not having done it before my total

ignorance of the connection must plead my apology

you are not going to introduce yourself to mr darcy

indeed i am i shall entreat his pardon for not having done it earlier

i believe him to be lady catherines nephew it will be in my power to

assure him that her ladyship was quite well yesterday sennight

elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme assuring him

that mr darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction

as an impertinent freedom rather than a compliment to his aunt that

it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either

side and that if it were it must belong to mr darcy the superior in

consequence to begin the acquaintance mr collins listened to her

with the determined air of following his own inclination and when she

ceased speaking replied thus

my dear miss elizabeth i have the highest opinion in the world in

your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your

understanding but permit me to say that there must be a wide

difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity

and those which regulate the clergy for give me leave to observe that

i consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with

the highest rank in the kingdomprovided that a proper humility of

behaviour is at the same time maintained you must therefore allow me to

follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion which leads me to

perform what i look on as a point of duty pardon me for neglecting to

profit by your advice which on every other subject shall be my constant

guide though in the case before us i consider myself more fitted by

education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young

lady like yourself and with a low bow he left her to attack mr

darcy whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched and whose

astonishment at being so addressed was very evident her cousin prefaced

his speech with a solemn bow and though she could not hear a word of

it she felt as if hearing it all and saw in the motion of his lips the

words apology hunsford and lady catherine de bourgh it vexed

her to see him expose himself to such a man mr darcy was eyeing him

with unrestrained wonder and when at last mr collins allowed him time

to speak replied with an air of distant civility mr collins however

was not discouraged from speaking again and mr darcys contempt seemed

abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech and at the

end of it he only made him a slight bow and moved another way mr

collins then returned to elizabeth

i have no reason i assure you said he to be dissatisfied with my

reception mr darcy seemed much pleased with the attention he answered

me with the utmost civility and even paid me the compliment of saying

that he was so well convinced of lady catherines discernment as to be

certain she could never bestow a favour unworthily it was really a very

handsome thought upon the whole i am much pleased with him

as elizabeth had no longer any interest of her own to pursue she turned

her attention almost entirely on her sister and mr bingley and the

train of agreeable reflections which her observations gave birth to

made her perhaps almost as happy as jane she saw her in idea settled in

that very house in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection

could bestow and she felt capable under such circumstances of

endeavouring even to like bingleys two sisters her mothers thoughts

she plainly saw were bent the same way and she determined not to

venture near her lest she might hear too much when they sat down to

supper therefore she considered it a most unlucky perverseness which

placed them within one of each other and deeply was she vexed to find

that her mother was talking to that one person lady lucas freely

openly and of nothing else but her expectation that jane would soon

be married to mr bingley it was an animating subject and mrs bennet

seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the

match his being such a charming young man and so rich and living but

three miles from them were the first points of selfgratulation and

then it was such a comfort to think how fond the two sisters were of

jane and to be certain that they must desire the connection as much as

she could do it was moreover such a promising thing for her younger

daughters as janes marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of

other rich men and lastly it was so pleasant at her time of life to be

able to consign her single daughters to the care of their sister that

she might not be obliged to go into company more than she liked it was

necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure because on

such occasions it is the etiquette but no one was less likely than mrs

bennet to find comfort in staying home at any period of her life she

concluded with many good wishes that lady lucas might soon be equally

fortunate though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no

chance of it

in vain did elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mothers

words or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible

whisper for to her inexpressible vexation she could perceive that the

chief of it was overheard by mr darcy who sat opposite to them her

mother only scolded her for being nonsensical

what is mr darcy to me pray that i should be afraid of him i am

sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say

nothing he may not like to hear

for heavens sake madam speak lower what advantage can it be for you

to offend mr darcy you will never recommend yourself to his friend by

so doing

nothing that she could say however had any influence her mother would

talk of her views in the same intelligible tone elizabeth blushed and

blushed again with shame and vexation she could not help frequently

glancing her eye at mr darcy though every glance convinced her of what

she dreaded for though he was not always looking at her mother she was

convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her the expression

of his face changed gradually from indignant contempt to a composed and

steady gravity

at length however mrs bennet had no more to say and lady lucas who

had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no

likelihood of sharing was left to the comforts of cold ham and

chicken elizabeth now began to revive but not long was the interval of

tranquillity for when supper was over singing was talked of and

she had the mortification of seeing mary after very little entreaty

preparing to oblige the company by many significant looks and silent

entreaties did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance

but in vain mary would not understand them such an opportunity of

exhibiting was delightful to her and she began her song elizabeths

eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations and she watched her

progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very

ill rewarded at their close for mary on receiving amongst the thanks

of the table the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to

favour them again after the pause of half a minute began another

marys powers were by no means fitted for such a display her voice was

weak and her manner affected elizabeth was in agonies she looked at

jane to see how she bore it but jane was very composedly talking to

bingley she looked at his two sisters and saw them making signs

of derision at each other and at darcy who continued however

imperturbably grave she looked at her father to entreat his

interference lest mary should be singing all night he took the hint

and when mary had finished her second song said aloud that will do

extremely well child you have delighted us long enough let the other

young ladies have time to exhibit

mary though pretending not to hear was somewhat disconcerted and

elizabeth sorry for her and sorry for her fathers speech was afraid

her anxiety had done no good others of the party were now applied to

if i said mr collins were so fortunate as to be able to sing i

should have great pleasure i am sure in obliging the company with an

air for i consider music as a very innocent diversion and perfectly

compatible with the profession of a clergyman i do not mean however

to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time

to music for there are certainly other things to be attended to the

rector of a parish has much to do in the first place he must make

such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not

offensive to his patron he must write his own sermons and the time

that remains will not be too much for his parish duties and the care

and improvement of his dwelling which he cannot be excused from making

as comfortable as possible and i do not think it of light importance

that he should have attentive and conciliatory manners towards everybody

especially towards those to whom he owes his preferment i cannot acquit

him of that duty nor could i think well of the man who should omit an

occasion of testifying his respect towards anybody connected with the

family and with a bow to mr darcy he concluded his speech which had

been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room many staredmany

smiled but no one looked more amused than mr bennet himself while his

wife seriously commended mr collins for having spoken so sensibly

and observed in a halfwhisper to lady lucas that he was a remarkably

clever good kind of young man

to elizabeth it appeared that had her family made an agreement to

expose themselves as much as they could during the evening it would

have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit or

finer success and happy did she think it for bingley and her sister

that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice and that his

feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he

must have witnessed that his two sisters and mr darcy however should

have such an opportunity of ridiculing her relations was bad enough

and she could not determine whether the silent contempt of the

gentleman or the insolent smiles of the ladies were more intolerable

the rest of the evening brought her little amusement she was teased by

mr collins who continued most perseveringly by her side and though

he could not prevail on her to dance with him again put it out of her

power to dance with others in vain did she entreat him to stand up with

somebody else and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room

he assured her that as to dancing he was perfectly indifferent to it

that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to

her and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her

the whole evening there was no arguing upon such a project she owed

her greatest relief to her friend miss lucas who often joined them and

goodnaturedly engaged mr collinss conversation to herself

she was at least free from the offense of mr darcys further notice

though often standing within a very short distance of her quite

disengaged he never came near enough to speak she felt it to be the

probable consequence of her allusions to mr wickham and rejoiced in

it

the longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart and by

a manoeuvre of mrs bennet had to wait for their carriage a quarter of

an hour after everybody else was gone which gave them time to see how

heartily they were wished away by some of the family mrs hurst and her

sister scarcely opened their mouths except to complain of fatigue and

were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves they repulsed

every attempt of mrs bennet at conversation and by so doing threw a

languor over the whole party which was very little relieved by the

long speeches of mr collins who was complimenting mr bingley and his

sisters on the elegance of their entertainment and the hospitality and

politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests darcy said

nothing at all mr bennet in equal silence was enjoying the scene

mr bingley and jane were standing together a little detached from the

rest and talked only to each other elizabeth preserved as steady a

silence as either mrs hurst or miss bingley and even lydia was too

much fatigued to utter more than the occasional exclamation of lord

how tired i am accompanied by a violent yawn

when at length they arose to take leave mrs bennet was most pressingly

civil in her hope of seeing the whole family soon at longbourn and

addressed herself especially to mr bingley to assure him how happy he

would make them by eating a family dinner with them at any time without

the ceremony of a formal invitation bingley was all grateful pleasure

and he readily engaged for taking the earliest opportunity of waiting on

her after his return from london whither he was obliged to go the next

day for a short time

mrs bennet was perfectly satisfied and quitted the house under the

delightful persuasion that allowing for the necessary preparations of

settlements new carriages and wedding clothes she should undoubtedly

see her daughter settled at netherfield in the course of three or four

months of having another daughter married to mr collins she thought

with equal certainty and with considerable though not equal pleasure

elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children and though the

man and the match were quite good enough for her the worth of each

was eclipsed by mr bingley and netherfield

chapter 

the next day opened a new scene at longbourn mr collins made his

declaration in form having resolved to do it without loss of time as

his leave of absence extended only to the following saturday and having

no feelings of diffidence to make it distressing to himself even at

the moment he set about it in a very orderly manner with all the

observances which he supposed a regular part of the business on

finding mrs bennet elizabeth and one of the younger girls together

soon after breakfast he addressed the mother in these words

may i hope madam for your interest with your fair daughter elizabeth

when i solicit for the honour of a private audience with her in the

course of this morning

before elizabeth had time for anything but a blush of surprise mrs

bennet answered instantly oh dearyescertainly i am sure lizzy

will be very happyi am sure she can have no objection come kitty i

want you up stairs and gathering her work together she was hastening

away when elizabeth called out

dear madam do not go i beg you will not go mr collins must excuse

me he can have nothing to say to me that anybody need not hear i am

going away myself

no no nonsense lizzy i desire you to stay where you are and upon

elizabeths seeming really with vexed and embarrassed looks about to

escape she added lizzy i insist upon your staying and hearing mr

collins

elizabeth would not oppose such an injunctionand a moments

consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it

over as soon and as quietly as possible she sat down again and tried to

conceal by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between

distress and diversion mrs bennet and kitty walked off and as soon as

they were gone mr collins began

believe me my dear miss elizabeth that your modesty so far from

doing you any disservice rather adds to your other perfections you

would have been less amiable in my eyes had there not been this little

unwillingness but allow me to assure you that i have your respected

mothers permission for this address you can hardly doubt the

purport of my discourse however your natural delicacy may lead you to

dissemble my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken almost as

soon as i entered the house i singled you out as the companion of

my future life but before i am run away with by my feelings on this

subject perhaps it would be advisable for me to state my reasons for

marryingand moreover for coming into hertfordshire with the design

of selecting a wife as i certainly did

the idea of mr collins with all his solemn composure being run away

with by his feelings made elizabeth so near laughing that she could

not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him further

and he continued

my reasons for marrying are first that i think it a right thing for

every clergyman in easy circumstances like myself to set the example

of matrimony in his parish secondly that i am convinced that it will

add very greatly to my happiness and thirdlywhich perhaps i ought

to have mentioned earlier that it is the particular advice and

recommendation of the very noble lady whom i have the honour of calling

patroness twice has she condescended to give me her opinion unasked

too on this subject and it was but the very saturday night before i

left hunsfordbetween our pools at quadrille while mrs jenkinson was

arranging miss de bourghs footstool that she said mr collins you

must marry a clergyman like you must marry choose properly choose

a gentlewoman for my sake and for your own let her be an active

useful sort of person not brought up high but able to make a small

income go a good way this is my advice find such a woman as soon as

you can bring her to hunsford and i will visit her allow me by the

way to observe my fair cousin that i do not reckon the notice

and kindness of lady catherine de bourgh as among the least of the

advantages in my power to offer you will find her manners beyond

anything i can describe and your wit and vivacity i think must be

acceptable to her especially when tempered with the silence and

respect which her rank will inevitably excite thus much for my general

intention in favour of matrimony it remains to be told why my views

were directed towards longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood where i

can assure you there are many amiable young women but the fact is that

being as i am to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured

father who however may live many years longer i could not satisfy

myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters that

the loss to them might be as little as possible when the melancholy

event takes placewhich however as i have already said may not

be for several years this has been my motive my fair cousin and

i flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem and now nothing

remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the

violence of my affection to fortune i am perfectly indifferent and

shall make no demand of that nature on your father since i am well

aware that it could not be complied with and that one thousand pounds

in the four per cents which will not be yours till after your mothers

decease is all that you may ever be entitled to on that head

therefore i shall be uniformly silent and you may assure yourself that

no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married

it was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now

you are too hasty sir she cried you forget that i have made no

answer let me do it without further loss of time accept my thanks for

the compliment you are paying me i am very sensible of the honour of

your proposals but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to

decline them

i am not now to learn replied mr collins with a formal wave of the

hand that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the

man whom they secretly mean to accept when he first applies for their

favour and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second or even a

third time i am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just

said and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long

upon my word sir cried elizabeth your hope is a rather

extraordinary one after my declaration i do assure you that i am not

one of those young ladies if such young ladies there are who are so

daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second

time i am perfectly serious in my refusal you could not make me

happy and i am convinced that i am the last woman in the world who

could make you so nay were your friend lady catherine to know me i

am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the

situation

were it certain that lady catherine would think so said mr collins

very gravelybut i cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all

disapprove of you and you may be certain when i have the honour of

seeing her again i shall speak in the very highest terms of your

modesty economy and other amiable qualification

indeed mr collins all praise of me will be unnecessary you

must give me leave to judge for myself and pay me the compliment

of believing what i say i wish you very happy and very rich and by

refusing your hand do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise

in making me the offer you must have satisfied the delicacy of your

feelings with regard to my family and may take possession of longbourn

estate whenever it falls without any selfreproach this matter may

be considered therefore as finally settled and rising as she

thus spoke she would have quitted the room had mr collins not thus

addressed her

when i do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject i

shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given

me though i am far from accusing you of cruelty at present because i

know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on

the first application and perhaps you have even now said as much to

encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the

female character

really mr collins cried elizabeth with some warmth you puzzle me

exceedingly if what i have hitherto said can appear to you in the form

of encouragement i know not how to express my refusal in such a way as

to convince you of its being one

you must give me leave to flatter myself my dear cousin that your

refusal of my addresses is merely words of course my reasons for

believing it are briefly these it does not appear to me that my hand is

unworthy of your acceptance or that the establishment i can offer would

be any other than highly desirable my situation in life my connections

with the family of de bourgh and my relationship to your own are

circumstances highly in my favour and you should take it into further

consideration that in spite of your manifold attractions it is by no

means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you your

portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo

the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications as i must

therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me

i shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by

suspense according to the usual practice of elegant females

i do assure you sir that i have no pretensions whatever to that kind

of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man i would

rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere i thank you

again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals but

to accept them is absolutely impossible my feelings in every respect

forbid it can i speak plainer do not consider me now as an elegant

female intending to plague you but as a rational creature speaking

the truth from her heart

you are uniformly charming cried he with an air of awkward

gallantry and i am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express

authority of both your excellent parents my proposals will not fail of

being acceptable

to such perseverance in wilful selfdeception elizabeth would make

no reply and immediately and in silence withdrew determined if

he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering

encouragement to apply to her father whose negative might be uttered

in such a manner as to be decisive and whose behaviour at least could

not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female

chapter 

mr collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his

successful love for mrs bennet having dawdled about in the vestibule

to watch for the end of the conference no sooner saw elizabeth open

the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase than she

entered the breakfastroom and congratulated both him and herself in

warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection mr collins

received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure and then

proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview with the result

of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied since the

refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow

from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character

this information however startled mrs bennet she would have been

glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage

him by protesting against his proposals but she dared not believe it

and could not help saying so

but depend upon it mr collins she added that lizzy shall be

brought to reason i will speak to her about it directly she is a very

headstrong foolish girl and does not know her own interest but i will

make her know it

pardon me for interrupting you madam cried mr collins but if

she is really headstrong and foolish i know not whether she would

altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation who

naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state if therefore she

actually persists in rejecting my suit perhaps it were better not

to force her into accepting me because if liable to such defects of

temper she could not contribute much to my felicity

sir you quite misunderstand me said mrs bennet alarmed lizzy is

only headstrong in such matters as these in everything else she is as

goodnatured a girl as ever lived i will go directly to mr bennet and

we shall very soon settle it with her i am sure

she would not give him time to reply but hurrying instantly to her

husband called out as she entered the library oh mr bennet you

are wanted immediately we are all in an uproar you must come and make

lizzy marry mr collins for she vows she will not have him and if you

do not make haste he will change his mind and not have her

mr bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered and fixed them

on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by

her communication

i have not the pleasure of understanding you said he when she had

finished her speech of what are you talking

of mr collins and lizzy lizzy declares she will not have mr collins

and mr collins begins to say that he will not have lizzy

and what am i to do on the occasion it seems an hopeless business

speak to lizzy about it yourself tell her that you insist upon her

marrying him

let her be called down she shall hear my opinion

mrs bennet rang the bell and miss elizabeth was summoned to the

library

come here child cried her father as she appeared i have sent for

you on an affair of importance i understand that mr collins has made

you an offer of marriage is it true elizabeth replied that it was

very welland this offer of marriage you have refused

i have sir

very well we now come to the point your mother insists upon your

accepting it is it not so mrs bennet

yes or i will never see her again

an unhappy alternative is before you elizabeth from this day you must

be a stranger to one of your parents your mother will never see you

again if you do not marry mr collins and i will never see you again

if you do

elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning

but mrs bennet who had persuaded herself that her husband regarded the

affair as she wished was excessively disappointed

what do you mean mr bennet in talking this way you promised me to

insist upon her marrying him

my dear replied her husband i have two small favours to request

first that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the

present occasion and secondly of my room i shall be glad to have the

library to myself as soon as may be

not yet however in spite of her disappointment in her husband did

mrs bennet give up the point she talked to elizabeth again and again

coaxed and threatened her by turns she endeavoured to secure jane

in her interest but jane with all possible mildness declined

interfering and elizabeth sometimes with real earnestness and

sometimes with playful gaiety replied to her attacks though her manner

varied however her determination never did

mr collins meanwhile was meditating in solitude on what had passed

he thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin

could refuse him and though his pride was hurt he suffered in no other

way his regard for her was quite imaginary and the possibility of her

deserving her mothers reproach prevented his feeling any regret

while the family were in this confusion charlotte lucas came to spend

the day with them she was met in the vestibule by lydia who flying to

her cried in a half whisper i am glad you are come for there is such

fun here what do you think has happened this morning mr collins has

made an offer to lizzy and she will not have him

charlotte hardly had time to answer before they were joined by kitty

who came to tell the same news and no sooner had they entered the

breakfastroom where mrs bennet was alone than she likewise began on

the subject calling on miss lucas for her compassion and entreating

her to persuade her friend lizzy to comply with the wishes of all her

family pray do my dear miss lucas she added in a melancholy tone

for nobody is on my side nobody takes part with me i am cruelly used

nobody feels for my poor nerves

charlottes reply was spared by the entrance of jane and elizabeth

aye there she comes continued mrs bennet looking as unconcerned

as may be and caring no more for us than if we were at york provided

she can have her own way but i tell you miss lizzyif you take it

into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way

you will never get a husband at alland i am sure i do not know who is

to maintain you when your father is dead i shall not be able to keep

youand so i warn you i have done with you from this very day i told

you in the library you know that i should never speak to you again

and you will find me as good as my word i have no pleasure in talking

to undutiful children not that i have much pleasure indeed in talking

to anybody people who suffer as i do from nervous complaints can have

no great inclination for talking nobody can tell what i suffer but it

is always so those who do not complain are never pitied

her daughters listened in silence to this effusion sensible that

any attempt to reason with her or soothe her would only increase the

irritation she talked on therefore without interruption from any of

them till they were joined by mr collins who entered the room with

an air more stately than usual and on perceiving whom she said to

the girls now i do insist upon it that you all of you hold

your tongues and let me and mr collins have a little conversation

together

elizabeth passed quietly out of the room jane and kitty followed but

lydia stood her ground determined to hear all she could and charlotte

detained first by the civility of mr collins whose inquiries after

herself and all her family were very minute and then by a little

curiosity satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending

not to hear in a doleful voice mrs bennet began the projected

conversation oh mr collins

my dear madam replied he let us be for ever silent on this point

far be it from me he presently continued in a voice that marked his

displeasure to resent the behaviour of your daughter resignation

to inevitable evils is the duty of us all the peculiar duty of a

young man who has been so fortunate as i have been in early preferment

and i trust i am resigned perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt

of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand

for i have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as

when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our

estimation you will not i hope consider me as showing any disrespect

to your family my dear madam by thus withdrawing my pretensions to

your daughters favour without having paid yourself and mr bennet the

compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my

behalf my conduct may i fear be objectionable in having accepted my

dismission from your daughters lips instead of your own but we are all

liable to error i have certainly meant well through the whole affair

my object has been to secure an amiable companion for myself with due

consideration for the advantage of all your family and if my manner

has been at all reprehensible i here beg leave to apologise

chapter 

the discussion of mr collinss offer was now nearly at an end and

elizabeth had only to suffer from the uncomfortable feelings necessarily

attending it and occasionally from some peevish allusions of her

mother as for the gentleman himself his feelings were chiefly

expressed not by embarrassment or dejection or by trying to avoid her

but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence he scarcely ever spoke

to her and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of

himself were transferred for the rest of the day to miss lucas whose

civility in listening to him was a seasonable relief to them all and

especially to her friend

the morrow produced no abatement of mrs bennets illhumour or ill

health mr collins was also in the same state of angry pride elizabeth

had hoped that his resentment might shorten his visit but his plan did

not appear in the least affected by it he was always to have gone on

saturday and to saturday he meant to stay

after breakfast the girls walked to meryton to inquire if mr wickham

were returned and to lament over his absence from the netherfield ball

he joined them on their entering the town and attended them to their

aunts where his regret and vexation and the concern of everybody was

well talked over to elizabeth however he voluntarily acknowledged

that the necessity of his absence had been selfimposed

i found said he as the time drew near that i had better not meet

mr darcy that to be in the same room the same party with him for so

many hours together might be more than i could bear and that scenes

might arise unpleasant to more than myself

she highly approved his forbearance and they had leisure for a full

discussion of it and for all the commendation which they civilly

bestowed on each other as wickham and another officer walked back with

them to longbourn and during the walk he particularly attended to

her his accompanying them was a double advantage she felt all the

compliment it offered to herself and it was most acceptable as an

occasion of introducing him to her father and mother

soon after their return a letter was delivered to miss bennet it came

from netherfield the envelope contained a sheet of elegant little

hotpressed paper well covered with a ladys fair flowing hand and

elizabeth saw her sisters countenance change as she read it and saw

her dwelling intently on some particular passages jane recollected

herself soon and putting the letter away tried to join with her usual

cheerfulness in the general conversation but elizabeth felt an anxiety

on the subject which drew off her attention even from wickham and no

sooner had he and his companion taken leave than a glance from jane

invited her to follow her up stairs when they had gained their own room

jane taking out the letter said

this is from caroline bingley what it contains has surprised me a good

deal the whole party have left netherfield by this time and are on

their way to townand without any intention of coming back again you

shall hear what she says

she then read the first sentence aloud which comprised the information

of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly

and of their meaning to dine in grosvenor street where mr hurst had a

house the next was in these words i do not pretend to regret anything

i shall leave in hertfordshire except your society my dearest friend

but we will hope at some future period to enjoy many returns of that

delightful intercourse we have known and in the meanwhile may

lessen the pain of separation by a very frequent and most unreserved

correspondence i depend on you for that to these highflown

expressions elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust

and though the suddenness of their removal surprised her she saw

nothing in it really to lament it was not to be supposed that their

absence from netherfield would prevent mr bingleys being there and as

to the loss of their society she was persuaded that jane must cease to

regard it in the enjoyment of his

it is unlucky said she after a short pause that you should not be

able to see your friends before they leave the country but may we not

hope that the period of future happiness to which miss bingley looks

forward may arrive earlier than she is aware and that the delightful

intercourse you have known as friends will be renewed with yet greater

satisfaction as sisters mr bingley will not be detained in london by

them

caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into

hertfordshire this winter i will read it to you

when my brother left us yesterday he imagined that the business which

took him to london might be concluded in three or four days but as we

are certain it cannot be so and at the same time convinced that when

charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again we have

determined on following him thither that he may not be obliged to spend

his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel many of my acquaintances are

already there for the winter i wish that i could hear that you my

dearest friend had any intention of making one of the crowdbut of

that i despair i sincerely hope your christmas in hertfordshire may

abound in the gaieties which that season generally brings and that your

beaux will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the

three of whom we shall deprive you

it is evident by this added jane that he comes back no more this

winter

it is only evident that miss bingley does not mean that he should

why will you think so it must be his own doing he is his own

master but you do not know all i will read you the passage which

particularly hurts me i will have no reserves from you

mr darcy is impatient to see his sister and to confess the truth

we are scarcely less eager to meet her again i really do not think

georgiana darcy has her equal for beauty elegance and accomplishments

and the affection she inspires in louisa and myself is heightened into

something still more interesting from the hope we dare entertain of

her being hereafter our sister i do not know whether i ever before

mentioned to you my feelings on this subject but i will not leave the

country without confiding them and i trust you will not esteem them

unreasonable my brother admires her greatly already he will have

frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing

her relations all wish the connection as much as his own and a sisters

partiality is not misleading me i think when i call charles most

capable of engaging any womans heart with all these circumstances to

favour an attachment and nothing to prevent it am i wrong my dearest

jane in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness

of so many

what do you think of this sentence my dear lizzy said jane as she

finished it is it not clear enough does it not expressly declare that

caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister that she is

perfectly convinced of her brothers indifference and that if she

suspects the nature of my feelings for him she means most kindly to

put me on my guard can there be any other opinion on the subject

yes there can for mine is totally different will you hear it

most willingly

you shall have it in a few words miss bingley sees that her brother is

in love with you and wants him to marry miss darcy she follows him

to town in hope of keeping him there and tries to persuade you that he

does not care about you

jane shook her head

indeed jane you ought to believe me no one who has ever seen you

together can doubt his affection miss bingley i am sure cannot she

is not such a simpleton could she have seen half as much love in mr

darcy for herself she would have ordered her wedding clothes but the

case is this we are not rich enough or grand enough for them and she

is the more anxious to get miss darcy for her brother from the notion

that when there has been one intermarriage she may have less trouble

in achieving a second in which there is certainly some ingenuity and

i dare say it would succeed if miss de bourgh were out of the way but

my dearest jane you cannot seriously imagine that because miss bingley

tells you her brother greatly admires miss darcy he is in the smallest

degree less sensible of your merit than when he took leave of you on

tuesday or that it will be in her power to persuade him that instead

of being in love with you he is very much in love with her friend

if we thought alike of miss bingley replied jane your

representation of all this might make me quite easy but i know the

foundation is unjust caroline is incapable of wilfully deceiving

anyone and all that i can hope in this case is that she is deceiving

herself

that is right you could not have started a more happy idea since you

will not take comfort in mine believe her to be deceived by all means

you have now done your duty by her and must fret no longer

but my dear sister can i be happy even supposing the best in

accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry

elsewhere

you must decide for yourself said elizabeth and if upon mature

deliberation you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is

more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife i advise you by

all means to refuse him

how can you talk so said jane faintly smiling you must know that

though i should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation i could

not hesitate

i did not think you would and that being the case i cannot consider

your situation with much compassion

but if he returns no more this winter my choice will never be

required a thousand things may arise in six months

the idea of his returning no more elizabeth treated with the utmost

contempt it appeared to her merely the suggestion of carolines

interested wishes and she could not for a moment suppose that those

wishes however openly or artfully spoken could influence a young man

so totally independent of everyone

she represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt

on the subject and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect

janes temper was not desponding and she was gradually led to hope

though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope that

bingley would return to netherfield and answer every wish of her heart

they agreed that mrs bennet should only hear of the departure of the

family without being alarmed on the score of the gentlemans conduct

but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern

and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen

to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together after

lamenting it however at some length she had the consolation that mr

bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at longbourn and the

conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration that though he had

been invited only to a family dinner she would take care to have two

full courses

chapter 

the bennets were engaged to dine with the lucases and again during the

chief of the day was miss lucas so kind as to listen to mr collins

elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her it keeps him in good

humour said she and i am more obliged to you than i can express

charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful and

that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time this was

very amiable but charlottes kindness extended farther than elizabeth

had any conception of its object was nothing else than to secure her

from any return of mr collinss addresses by engaging them towards

herself such was miss lucass scheme and appearances were so

favourable that when they parted at night she would have felt almost

secure of success if he had not been to leave hertfordshire so very

soon but here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his

character for it led him to escape out of longbourn house the next

morning with admirable slyness and hasten to lucas lodge to throw

himself at her feet he was anxious to avoid the notice of his cousins

from a conviction that if they saw him depart they could not fail to

conjecture his design and he was not willing to have the attempt known

till its success might be known likewise for though feeling almost

secure and with reason for charlotte had been tolerably encouraging

he was comparatively diffident since the adventure of wednesday

his reception however was of the most flattering kind miss lucas

perceived him from an upper window as he walked towards the house and

instantly set out to meet him accidentally in the lane but little had

she dared to hope that so much love and eloquence awaited her there

in as short a time as mr collinss long speeches would allow

everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both and as

they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that

was to make him the happiest of men and though such a solicitation must

be waived for the present the lady felt no inclination to trifle with

his happiness the stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must

guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its

continuance and miss lucas who accepted him solely from the pure

and disinterested desire of an establishment cared not how soon that

establishment were gained

sir william and lady lucas were speedily applied to for their consent

and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity mr collinss present

circumstances made it a most eligible match for their daughter to whom

they could give little fortune and his prospects of future wealth were

exceedingly fair lady lucas began directly to calculate with more

interest than the matter had ever excited before how many years longer

mr bennet was likely to live and sir william gave it as his decided

opinion that whenever mr collins should be in possession of the

longbourn estate it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife

should make their appearance at st jamess the whole family in short

were properly overjoyed on the occasion the younger girls formed hopes

of coming out a year or two sooner than they might otherwise have

done and the boys were relieved from their apprehension of charlottes

dying an old maid charlotte herself was tolerably composed she had

gained her point and had time to consider of it her reflections were

in general satisfactory mr collins to be sure was neither sensible

nor agreeable his society was irksome and his attachment to her must

be imaginary but still he would be her husband without thinking highly

either of men or matrimony marriage had always been her object it was

the only provision for welleducated young women of small fortune

and however uncertain of giving happiness must be their pleasantest

preservative from want this preservative she had now obtained and at

the age of twentyseven without having ever been handsome she felt all

the good luck of it the least agreeable circumstance in the business

was the surprise it must occasion to elizabeth bennet whose friendship

she valued beyond that of any other person elizabeth would wonder

and probably would blame her and though her resolution was not to be

shaken her feelings must be hurt by such a disapprobation she resolved

to give her the information herself and therefore charged mr collins

when he returned to longbourn to dinner to drop no hint of what had

passed before any of the family a promise of secrecy was of course very

dutifully given but it could not be kept without difficulty for the

curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct

questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade and he was

at the same time exercising great selfdenial for he was longing to

publish his prosperous love

as he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the

family the ceremony of leavetaking was performed when the ladies moved

for the night and mrs bennet with great politeness and cordiality

said how happy they should be to see him at longbourn again whenever

his engagements might allow him to visit them

my dear madam he replied this invitation is particularly

gratifying because it is what i have been hoping to receive and

you may be very certain that i shall avail myself of it as soon as

possible

they were all astonished and mr bennet who could by no means wish for

so speedy a return immediately said

but is there not danger of lady catherines disapprobation here my

good sir you had better neglect your relations than run the risk of

offending your patroness

my dear sir replied mr collins i am particularly obliged to you

for this friendly caution and you may depend upon my not taking so

material a step without her ladyships concurrence

you cannot be too much upon your guard risk anything rather than her

displeasure and if you find it likely to be raised by your coming to us

again which i should think exceedingly probable stay quietly at home

and be satisfied that we shall take no offence

believe me my dear sir my gratitude is warmly excited by such

affectionate attention and depend upon it you will speedily receive

from me a letter of thanks for this and for every other mark of your

regard during my stay in hertfordshire as for my fair cousins though

my absence may not be long enough to render it necessary i shall now

take the liberty of wishing them health and happiness not excepting my

cousin elizabeth

with proper civilities the ladies then withdrew all of them equally

surprised that he meditated a quick return mrs bennet wished to

understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her

younger girls and mary might have been prevailed on to accept him

she rated his abilities much higher than any of the others there was

a solidity in his reflections which often struck her and though by no

means so clever as herself she thought that if encouraged to read

and improve himself by such an example as hers he might become a very

agreeable companion but on the following morning every hope of this

kind was done away miss lucas called soon after breakfast and in a

private conference with elizabeth related the event of the day before

the possibility of mr collinss fancying himself in love with her

friend had once occurred to elizabeth within the last day or two but

that charlotte could encourage him seemed almost as far from

possibility as she could encourage him herself and her astonishment was

consequently so great as to overcome at first the bounds of decorum and

she could not help crying out

engaged to mr collins my dear charlotteimpossible

the steady countenance which miss lucas had commanded in telling her

story gave way to a momentary confusion here on receiving so direct a

reproach though as it was no more than she expected she soon regained

her composure and calmly replied

why should you be surprised my dear eliza do you think it incredible

that mr collins should be able to procure any womans good opinion

because he was not so happy as to succeed with you

but elizabeth had now recollected herself and making a strong effort

for it was able to assure with tolerable firmness that the prospect of

their relationship was highly grateful to her and that she wished her

all imaginable happiness

i see what you are feeling replied charlotte you must be surprised

very much surprisedso lately as mr collins was wishing to marry

you but when you have had time to think it over i hope you will be

satisfied with what i have done i am not romantic you know i never

was i ask only a comfortable home and considering mr collinss

character connection and situation in life i am convinced that my

chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on

entering the marriage state

elizabeth quietly answered undoubtedly and after an awkward pause

they returned to the rest of the family charlotte did not stay much

longer and elizabeth was then left to reflect on what she had heard

it was a long time before she became at all reconciled to the idea of so

unsuitable a match the strangeness of mr collinss making two offers

of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now

accepted she had always felt that charlottes opinion of matrimony was

not exactly like her own but she had not supposed it to be possible

that when called into action she would have sacrificed every better

feeling to worldly advantage charlotte the wife of mr collins was a

most humiliating picture and to the pang of a friend disgracing herself

and sunk in her esteem was added the distressing conviction that it

was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had

chosen

chapter 

elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters reflecting on what

she had heard and doubting whether she was authorised to mention

it when sir william lucas himself appeared sent by his daughter to

announce her engagement to the family with many compliments to them

and much selfgratulation on the prospect of a connection between the

houses he unfolded the matterto an audience not merely wondering but

incredulous for mrs bennet with more perseverance than politeness

protested he must be entirely mistaken and lydia always unguarded and

often uncivil boisterously exclaimed

good lord sir william how can you tell such a story do not you know

that mr collins wants to marry lizzy

nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne

without anger such treatment but sir williams good breeding carried

him through it all and though he begged leave to be positive as to the

truth of his information he listened to all their impertinence with the

most forbearing courtesy

elizabeth feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant

a situation now put herself forward to confirm his account by

mentioning her prior knowledge of it from charlotte herself and

endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of her mother and sisters

by the earnestness of her congratulations to sir william in which she

was readily joined by jane and by making a variety of remarks on the

happiness that might be expected from the match the excellent character

of mr collins and the convenient distance of hunsford from london

mrs bennet was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while

sir william remained but no sooner had he left them than her feelings

found a rapid vent in the first place she persisted in disbelieving

the whole of the matter secondly she was very sure that mr collins

had been taken in thirdly she trusted that they would never be

happy together and fourthly that the match might be broken off two

inferences however were plainly deduced from the whole one that

elizabeth was the real cause of the mischief and the other that she

herself had been barbarously misused by them all and on these two

points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day nothing could

console and nothing could appease her nor did that day wear out her

resentment a week elapsed before she could see elizabeth without

scolding her a month passed away before she could speak to sir william

or lady lucas without being rude and many months were gone before she

could at all forgive their daughter

mr bennets emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion and such

as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort for

it gratified him he said to discover that charlotte lucas whom he had

been used to think tolerably sensible was as foolish as his wife and

more foolish than his daughter

jane confessed herself a little surprised at the match but she said

less of her astonishment than of her earnest desire for their happiness

nor could elizabeth persuade her to consider it as improbable kitty

and lydia were far from envying miss lucas for mr collins was only a

clergyman and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news

to spread at meryton

lady lucas could not be insensible of triumph on being able to retort

on mrs bennet the comfort of having a daughter well married and she

called at longbourn rather oftener than usual to say how happy she was

though mrs bennets sour looks and illnatured remarks might have been

enough to drive happiness away

between elizabeth and charlotte there was a restraint which kept them

mutually silent on the subject and elizabeth felt persuaded that

no real confidence could ever subsist between them again her

disappointment in charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her

sister of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could

never be shaken and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious

as bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his

return

jane had sent caroline an early answer to her letter and was counting

the days till she might reasonably hope to hear again the promised

letter of thanks from mr collins arrived on tuesday addressed to

their father and written with all the solemnity of gratitude which a

twelvemonths abode in the family might have prompted after discharging

his conscience on that head he proceeded to inform them with many

rapturous expressions of his happiness in having obtained the affection

of their amiable neighbour miss lucas and then explained that it was

merely with the view of enjoying her society that he had been so ready

to close with their kind wish of seeing him again at longbourn whither

he hoped to be able to return on monday fortnight for lady catherine

he added so heartily approved his marriage that she wished it to take

place as soon as possible which he trusted would be an unanswerable

argument with his amiable charlotte to name an early day for making him

the happiest of men

mr collinss return into hertfordshire was no longer a matter of

pleasure to mrs bennet on the contrary she was as much disposed to

complain of it as her husband it was very strange that he should come

to longbourn instead of to lucas lodge it was also very inconvenient

and exceedingly troublesome she hated having visitors in the house

while her health was so indifferent and lovers were of all people the

most disagreeable such were the gentle murmurs of mrs bennet and

they gave way only to the greater distress of mr bingleys continued

absence

neither jane nor elizabeth were comfortable on this subject day after

day passed away without bringing any other tidings of him than the

report which shortly prevailed in meryton of his coming no more to

netherfield the whole winter a report which highly incensed mrs

bennet and which she never failed to contradict as a most scandalous

falsehood

even elizabeth began to fearnot that bingley was indifferentbut that

his sisters would be successful in keeping him away unwilling as

she was to admit an idea so destructive of janes happiness and so

dishonorable to the stability of her lover she could not prevent its

frequently occurring the united efforts of his two unfeeling sisters

and of his overpowering friend assisted by the attractions of miss

darcy and the amusements of london might be too much she feared for

the strength of his attachment

as for jane her anxiety under this suspense was of course more

painful than elizabeths but whatever she felt she was desirous of

concealing and between herself and elizabeth therefore the subject

was never alluded to but as no such delicacy restrained her mother

an hour seldom passed in which she did not talk of bingley express her

impatience for his arrival or even require jane to confess that if he

did not come back she would think herself very ill used it needed

all janes steady mildness to bear these attacks with tolerable

tranquillity

mr collins returned most punctually on monday fortnight but his

reception at longbourn was not quite so gracious as it had been on his

first introduction he was too happy however to need much attention

and luckily for the others the business of lovemaking relieved them

from a great deal of his company the chief of every day was spent by

him at lucas lodge and he sometimes returned to longbourn only in time

to make an apology for his absence before the family went to bed

mrs bennet was really in a most pitiable state the very mention of

anything concerning the match threw her into an agony of illhumour

and wherever she went she was sure of hearing it talked of the sight

of miss lucas was odious to her as her successor in that house she

regarded her with jealous abhorrence whenever charlotte came to see

them she concluded her to be anticipating the hour of possession and

whenever she spoke in a low voice to mr collins was convinced that

they were talking of the longbourn estate and resolving to turn herself

and her daughters out of the house as soon as mr bennet were dead she

complained bitterly of all this to her husband

indeed mr bennet said she it is very hard to think that charlotte

lucas should ever be mistress of this house that i should be forced to

make way for her and live to see her take her place in it

my dear do not give way to such gloomy thoughts let us hope for

better things let us flatter ourselves that i may be the survivor

this was not very consoling to mrs bennet and therefore instead of

making any answer she went on as before

i cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate if it was

not for the entail i should not mind it

what should not you mind

i should not mind anything at all

let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such

insensibility

i never can be thankful mr bennet for anything about the entail how

anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from ones own

daughters i cannot understand and all for the sake of mr collins too

why should he have it more than anybody else

i leave it to yourself to determine said mr bennet

chapter 

miss bingleys letter arrived and put an end to doubt the very first

sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in london for

the winter and concluded with her brothers regret at not having had

time to pay his respects to his friends in hertfordshire before he left

the country

hope was over entirely over and when jane could attend to the rest

of the letter she found little except the professed affection of the

writer that could give her any comfort miss darcys praise occupied

the chief of it her many attractions were again dwelt on and caroline

boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy and ventured to predict

the accomplishment of the wishes which had been unfolded in her former

letter she wrote also with great pleasure of her brothers being an

inmate of mr darcys house and mentioned with raptures some plans of

the latter with regard to new furniture

elizabeth to whom jane very soon communicated the chief of all this

heard it in silent indignation her heart was divided between concern

for her sister and resentment against all others to carolines

assertion of her brothers being partial to miss darcy she paid no

credit that he was really fond of jane she doubted no more than she

had ever done and much as she had always been disposed to like him she

could not think without anger hardly without contempt on that easiness

of temper that want of proper resolution which now made him the slave

of his designing friends and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness

to the caprice of their inclination had his own happiness however

been the only sacrifice he might have been allowed to sport with it in

whatever manner he thought best but her sisters was involved in it as

she thought he must be sensible himself it was a subject in short

on which reflection would be long indulged and must be unavailing she

could think of nothing else and yet whether bingleys regard had really

died away or were suppressed by his friends interference whether

he had been aware of janes attachment or whether it had escaped his

observation whatever were the case though her opinion of him must be

materially affected by the difference her sisters situation remained

the same her peace equally wounded

a day or two passed before jane had courage to speak of her feelings to

elizabeth but at last on mrs bennets leaving them together after a

longer irritation than usual about netherfield and its master she could

not help saying

oh that my dear mother had more command over herself she can have no

idea of the pain she gives me by her continual reflections on him but

i will not repine it cannot last long he will be forgot and we shall

all be as we were before

elizabeth looked at her sister with incredulous solicitude but said

nothing

you doubt me cried jane slightly colouring indeed you have

no reason he may live in my memory as the most amiable man of my

acquaintance but that is all i have nothing either to hope or fear

and nothing to reproach him with thank god i have not that pain a

little time thereforei shall certainly try to get the better

with a stronger voice she soon added i have this comfort immediately

that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side and that it

has done no harm to anyone but myself

my dear jane exclaimed elizabeth you are too good your sweetness

and disinterestedness are really angelic i do not know what to say

to you i feel as if i had never done you justice or loved you as you

deserve

miss bennet eagerly disclaimed all extraordinary merit and threw back

the praise on her sisters warm affection

nay said elizabeth this is not fair you wish to think all the

world respectable and are hurt if i speak ill of anybody i only want

to think you perfect and you set yourself against it do not

be afraid of my running into any excess of my encroaching on your

privilege of universal goodwill you need not there are few people

whom i really love and still fewer of whom i think well the more i see

of the world the more am i dissatisfied with it and every day confirms

my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters and of the

little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or

sense i have met with two instances lately one i will not mention the

other is charlottes marriage it is unaccountable in every view it is

unaccountable

my dear lizzy do not give way to such feelings as these they will

ruin your happiness you do not make allowance enough for difference

of situation and temper consider mr collinss respectability and

charlottes steady prudent character remember that she is one of a

large family that as to fortune it is a most eligible match and be

ready to believe for everybodys sake that she may feel something like

regard and esteem for our cousin

to oblige you i would try to believe almost anything but no one else

could be benefited by such a belief as this for were i persuaded that

charlotte had any regard for him i should only think worse of her

understanding than i now do of her heart my dear jane mr collins is a

conceited pompous narrowminded silly man you know he is as well as

i do and you must feel as well as i do that the woman who married him

cannot have a proper way of thinking you shall not defend her though

it is charlotte lucas you shall not for the sake of one individual

change the meaning of principle and integrity nor endeavour to persuade

yourself or me that selfishness is prudence and insensibility of

danger security for happiness

i must think your language too strong in speaking of both replied

jane and i hope you will be convinced of it by seeing them happy

together but enough of this you alluded to something else you

mentioned two instances i cannot misunderstand you but i entreat

you dear lizzy not to pain me by thinking that person to blame and

saying your opinion of him is sunk we must not be so ready to fancy

ourselves intentionally injured we must not expect a lively young man

to be always so guarded and circumspect it is very often nothing but

our own vanity that deceives us women fancy admiration means more than

it does

and men take care that they should

if it is designedly done they cannot be justified but i have no idea

of there being so much design in the world as some persons imagine

i am far from attributing any part of mr bingleys conduct to design

said elizabeth but without scheming to do wrong or to make others

unhappy there may be error and there may be misery thoughtlessness

want of attention to other peoples feelings and want of resolution

will do the business

and do you impute it to either of those

yes to the last but if i go on i shall displease you by saying what

i think of persons you esteem stop me whilst you can

you persist then in supposing his sisters influence him

yes in conjunction with his friend

i cannot believe it why should they try to influence him they can

only wish his happiness and if he is attached to me no other woman can

secure it

your first position is false they may wish many things besides his

happiness they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence they

may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money great

connections and pride

beyond a doubt they do wish him to choose miss darcy replied jane

but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing they have

known her much longer than they have known me no wonder if they love

her better but whatever may be their own wishes it is very unlikely

they should have opposed their brothers what sister would think

herself at liberty to do it unless there were something very

objectionable if they believed him attached to me they would not try

to part us if he were so they could not succeed by supposing such an

affection you make everybody acting unnaturally and wrong and me most

unhappy do not distress me by the idea i am not ashamed of having been

mistakenor at least it is light it is nothing in comparison of what

i should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters let me take it in

the best light in the light in which it may be understood

elizabeth could not oppose such a wish and from this time mr bingleys

name was scarcely ever mentioned between them

mrs bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no

more and though a day seldom passed in which elizabeth did not account

for it clearly there was little chance of her ever considering it with

less perplexity her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she

did not believe herself that his attentions to jane had been merely the

effect of a common and transient liking which ceased when he saw her

no more but though the probability of the statement was admitted at

the time she had the same story to repeat every day mrs bennets best

comfort was that mr bingley must be down again in the summer

mr bennet treated the matter differently so lizzy said he one day

your sister is crossed in love i find i congratulate her next to

being married a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then

it is something to think of and it gives her a sort of distinction

among her companions when is your turn to come you will hardly bear to

be long outdone by jane now is your time here are officers enough in

meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country let wickham

be your man he is a pleasant fellow and would jilt you creditably

thank you sir but a less agreeable man would satisfy me we must not

all expect janes good fortune

true said mr bennet but it is a comfort to think that whatever of

that kind may befall you you have an affectionate mother who will make

the most of it

mr wickhams society was of material service in dispelling the gloom

which the late perverse occurrences had thrown on many of the longbourn

family they saw him often and to his other recommendations was now

added that of general unreserve the whole of what elizabeth had already

heard his claims on mr darcy and all that he had suffered from him

was now openly acknowledged and publicly canvassed and everybody was

pleased to know how much they had always disliked mr darcy before they

had known anything of the matter

miss bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be

any extenuating circumstances in the case unknown to the society

of hertfordshire her mild and steady candour always pleaded for

allowances and urged the possibility of mistakesbut by everybody else

mr darcy was condemned as the worst of men

chapter 

after a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity

mr collins was called from his amiable charlotte by the arrival of

saturday the pain of separation however might be alleviated on his

side by preparations for the reception of his bride as he had reason

to hope that shortly after his return into hertfordshire the day would

be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men he took leave of his

relations at longbourn with as much solemnity as before wished his fair

cousins health and happiness again and promised their father another

letter of thanks

on the following monday mrs bennet had the pleasure of receiving

her brother and his wife who came as usual to spend the christmas

at longbourn mr gardiner was a sensible gentlemanlike man greatly

superior to his sister as well by nature as education the netherfield

ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived

by trade and within view of his own warehouses could have been so

wellbred and agreeable mrs gardiner who was several years younger

than mrs bennet and mrs phillips was an amiable intelligent elegant

woman and a great favourite with all her longbourn nieces between the

two eldest and herself especially there subsisted a particular regard

they had frequently been staying with her in town

the first part of mrs gardiners business on her arrival was to

distribute her presents and describe the newest fashions when this was

done she had a less active part to play it became her turn to listen

mrs bennet had many grievances to relate and much to complain of they

had all been very illused since she last saw her sister two of her

girls had been upon the point of marriage and after all there was

nothing in it

i do not blame jane she continued for jane would have got mr

bingley if she could but lizzy oh sister it is very hard to think

that she might have been mr collinss wife by this time had it not

been for her own perverseness he made her an offer in this very room

and she refused him the consequence of it is that lady lucas will have

a daughter married before i have and that the longbourn estate is just

as much entailed as ever the lucases are very artful people indeed

sister they are all for what they can get i am sorry to say it of

them but so it is it makes me very nervous and poorly to be thwarted

so in my own family and to have neighbours who think of themselves

before anybody else however your coming just at this time is the

greatest of comforts and i am very glad to hear what you tell us of

long sleeves

mrs gardiner to whom the chief of this news had been given before

in the course of jane and elizabeths correspondence with her made her

sister a slight answer and in compassion to her nieces turned the

conversation

when alone with elizabeth afterwards she spoke more on the subject it

seems likely to have been a desirable match for jane said she i am

sorry it went off but these things happen so often a young man such

as you describe mr bingley so easily falls in love with a pretty girl

for a few weeks and when accident separates them so easily forgets

her that these sort of inconsistencies are very frequent

an excellent consolation in its way said elizabeth but it will not

do for us we do not suffer by accident it does not often

happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of

independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in

love with only a few days before

but that expression of violently in love is so hackneyed so

doubtful so indefinite that it gives me very little idea it is as

often applied to feelings which arise from a halfhours acquaintance

as to a real strong attachment pray how violent was mr bingleys

love

i never saw a more promising inclination he was growing quite

inattentive to other people and wholly engrossed by her every time

they met it was more decided and remarkable at his own ball he

offended two or three young ladies by not asking them to dance and i

spoke to him twice myself without receiving an answer could there be

finer symptoms is not general incivility the very essence of love

oh yesof that kind of love which i suppose him to have felt poor

jane i am sorry for her because with her disposition she may not get

over it immediately it had better have happened to you lizzy you

would have laughed yourself out of it sooner but do you think she

would be prevailed upon to go back with us change of scene might be

of serviceand perhaps a little relief from home may be as useful as

anything

elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal and felt persuaded

of her sisters ready acquiescence

i hope added mrs gardiner that no consideration with regard to

this young man will influence her we live in so different a part of

town all our connections are so different and as you well know we go

out so little that it is very improbable that they should meet at all

unless he really comes to see her

and that is quite impossible for he is now in the custody of his

friend and mr darcy would no more suffer him to call on jane in such

a part of london my dear aunt how could you think of it mr darcy may

perhaps have heard of such a place as gracechurch street but he

would hardly think a months ablution enough to cleanse him from its

impurities were he once to enter it and depend upon it mr bingley

never stirs without him

so much the better i hope they will not meet at all but does not jane

correspond with his sister she will not be able to help calling

she will drop the acquaintance entirely

but in spite of the certainty in which elizabeth affected to place this

point as well as the still more interesting one of bingleys being

withheld from seeing jane she felt a solicitude on the subject which

convinced her on examination that she did not consider it entirely

hopeless it was possible and sometimes she thought it probable that

his affection might be reanimated and the influence of his friends

successfully combated by the more natural influence of janes

attractions

miss bennet accepted her aunts invitation with pleasure and the

bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the same time than as she

hoped by carolines not living in the same house with her brother

she might occasionally spend a morning with her without any danger of

seeing him

the gardiners stayed a week at longbourn and what with the phillipses

the lucases and the officers there was not a day without its

engagement mrs bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment

of her brother and sister that they did not once sit down to a family

dinner when the engagement was for home some of the officers always

made part of itof which officers mr wickham was sure to be one and

on these occasions mrs gardiner rendered suspicious by elizabeths

warm commendation narrowly observed them both without supposing them

from what she saw to be very seriously in love their preference

of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy and

she resolved to speak to elizabeth on the subject before she left

hertfordshire and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such

an attachment

to mrs gardiner wickham had one means of affording pleasure

unconnected with his general powers about ten or a dozen years ago

before her marriage she had spent a considerable time in that very

part of derbyshire to which he belonged they had therefore many

acquaintances in common and though wickham had been little there since

the death of darcys father it was yet in his power to give her fresher

intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of

procuring

mrs gardiner had seen pemberley and known the late mr darcy by

character perfectly well here consequently was an inexhaustible subject

of discourse in comparing her recollection of pemberley with the minute

description which wickham could give and in bestowing her tribute of

praise on the character of its late possessor she was delighting both

him and herself on being made acquainted with the present mr darcys

treatment of him she tried to remember some of that gentlemans

reputed disposition when quite a lad which might agree with it and

was confident at last that she recollected having heard mr fitzwilliam

darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud illnatured boy

chapter 

mrs gardiners caution to elizabeth was punctually and kindly given

on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone after

honestly telling her what she thought she thus went on

you are too sensible a girl lizzy to fall in love merely because

you are warned against it and therefore i am not afraid of speaking

openly seriously i would have you be on your guard do not involve

yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want

of fortune would make so very imprudent i have nothing to say against

him he is a most interesting young man and if he had the fortune he

ought to have i should think you could not do better but as it is you

must not let your fancy run away with you you have sense and we all

expect you to use it your father would depend on your resolution and

good conduct i am sure you must not disappoint your father

my dear aunt this is being serious indeed

yes and i hope to engage you to be serious likewise

well then you need not be under any alarm i will take care of

myself and of mr wickham too he shall not be in love with me if i

can prevent it

elizabeth you are not serious now

i beg your pardon i will try again at present i am not in love with

mr wickham no i certainly am not but he is beyond all comparison

the most agreeable man i ever sawand if he becomes really attached to

mei believe it will be better that he should not i see the imprudence

of it oh that abominable mr darcy my fathers opinion of me does

me the greatest honour and i should be miserable to forfeit it my

father however is partial to mr wickham in short my dear aunt i

should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy but

since we see every day that where there is affection young people

are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into

engagements with each other how can i promise to be wiser than so many

of my fellowcreatures if i am tempted or how am i even to know that it

would be wisdom to resist all that i can promise you therefore is not

to be in a hurry i will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first

object when i am in company with him i will not be wishing in short

i will do my best

perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very

often at least you should not remind your mother of inviting him

as i did the other day said elizabeth with a conscious smile very

true it will be wise in me to refrain from that but do not imagine

that he is always here so often it is on your account that he has been

so frequently invited this week you know my mothers ideas as to the

necessity of constant company for her friends but really and upon my

honour i will try to do what i think to be the wisest and now i hope

you are satisfied

her aunt assured her that she was and elizabeth having thanked her for

the kindness of her hints they parted a wonderful instance of advice

being given on such a point without being resented

mr collins returned into hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted

by the gardiners and jane but as he took up his abode with the lucases

his arrival was no great inconvenience to mrs bennet his marriage was

now fast approaching and she was at length so far resigned as to think

it inevitable and even repeatedly to say in an illnatured tone that

she wished they might be happy thursday was to be the wedding day

and on wednesday miss lucas paid her farewell visit and when she

rose to take leave elizabeth ashamed of her mothers ungracious and

reluctant good wishes and sincerely affected herself accompanied her

out of the room as they went downstairs together charlotte said

i shall depend on hearing from you very often eliza

that you certainly shall

and i have another favour to ask you will you come and see me

we shall often meet i hope in hertfordshire

i am not likely to leave kent for some time promise me therefore to

come to hunsford

elizabeth could not refuse though she foresaw little pleasure in the

visit

my father and maria are coming to me in march added charlotte and i

hope you will consent to be of the party indeed eliza you will be as

welcome as either of them

the wedding took place the bride and bridegroom set off for kent from

the church door and everybody had as much to say or to hear on

the subject as usual elizabeth soon heard from her friend and their

correspondence was as regular and frequent as it had ever been that

it should be equally unreserved was impossible elizabeth could never

address her without feeling that all the comfort of intimacy was over

and though determined not to slacken as a correspondent it was for the

sake of what had been rather than what was charlottes first letters

were received with a good deal of eagerness there could not but be

curiosity to know how she would speak of her new home how she would

like lady catherine and how happy she would dare pronounce herself to

be though when the letters were read elizabeth felt that charlotte

expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen she

wrote cheerfully seemed surrounded with comforts and mentioned nothing

which she could not praise the house furniture neighbourhood and

roads were all to her taste and lady catherines behaviour was most

friendly and obliging it was mr collinss picture of hunsford and

rosings rationally softened and elizabeth perceived that she must wait

for her own visit there to know the rest

jane had already written a few lines to her sister to announce their

safe arrival in london and when she wrote again elizabeth hoped it

would be in her power to say something of the bingleys

her impatience for this second letter was as well rewarded as impatience

generally is jane had been a week in town without either seeing or

hearing from caroline she accounted for it however by supposing that

her last letter to her friend from longbourn had by some accident been

lost

my aunt she continued is going tomorrow into that part of the

town and i shall take the opportunity of calling in grosvenor street

she wrote again when the visit was paid and she had seen miss bingley

i did not think caroline in spirits were her words but she was very

glad to see me and reproached me for giving her no notice of my coming

to london i was right therefore my last letter had never reached

her i inquired after their brother of course he was well but so much

engaged with mr darcy that they scarcely ever saw him i found that

miss darcy was expected to dinner i wish i could see her my visit was

not long as caroline and mrs hurst were going out i dare say i shall

see them soon here

elizabeth shook her head over this letter it convinced her that

accident only could discover to mr bingley her sisters being in town

four weeks passed away and jane saw nothing of him she endeavoured to

persuade herself that she did not regret it but she could no longer be

blind to miss bingleys inattention after waiting at home every morning

for a fortnight and inventing every evening a fresh excuse for her the

visitor did at last appear but the shortness of her stay and yet more

the alteration of her manner would allow jane to deceive herself no

longer the letter which she wrote on this occasion to her sister will

prove what she felt

my dearest lizzy will i am sure be incapable of triumphing in her

better judgement at my expense when i confess myself to have been

entirely deceived in miss bingleys regard for me but my dear sister

though the event has proved you right do not think me obstinate if i

still assert that considering what her behaviour was my confidence was

as natural as your suspicion i do not at all comprehend her reason for

wishing to be intimate with me but if the same circumstances were to

happen again i am sure i should be deceived again caroline did not

return my visit till yesterday and not a note not a line did i

receive in the meantime when she did come it was very evident that

she had no pleasure in it she made a slight formal apology for not

calling before said not a word of wishing to see me again and was

in every respect so altered a creature that when she went away i was

perfectly resolved to continue the acquaintance no longer i pity

though i cannot help blaming her she was very wrong in singling me out

as she did i can safely say that every advance to intimacy began on

her side but i pity her because she must feel that she has been acting

wrong and because i am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the

cause of it i need not explain myself farther and though we know

this anxiety to be quite needless yet if she feels it it will easily

account for her behaviour to me and so deservedly dear as he is to

his sister whatever anxiety she must feel on his behalf is natural and

amiable i cannot but wonder however at her having any such fears now

because if he had at all cared about me we must have met long ago

he knows of my being in town i am certain from something she said

herself and yet it would seem by her manner of talking as if she

wanted to persuade herself that he is really partial to miss darcy i

cannot understand it if i were not afraid of judging harshly i should

be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity

in all this but i will endeavour to banish every painful thought

and think only of what will make me happyyour affection and the

invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt let me hear from you very

soon miss bingley said something of his never returning to netherfield

again of giving up the house but not with any certainty we had better

not mention it i am extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts

from our friends at hunsford pray go to see them with sir william and

maria i am sure you will be very comfortable thereyours etc

this letter gave elizabeth some pain but her spirits returned as she

considered that jane would no longer be duped by the sister at least

all expectation from the brother was now absolutely over she would not

even wish for a renewal of his attentions his character sunk on

every review of it and as a punishment for him as well as a possible

advantage to jane she seriously hoped he might really soon marry mr

darcys sister as by wickhams account she would make him abundantly

regret what he had thrown away

mrs gardiner about this time reminded elizabeth of her promise

concerning that gentleman and required information and elizabeth

had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to

herself his apparent partiality had subsided his attentions were over

he was the admirer of some one else elizabeth was watchful enough to

see it all but she could see it and write of it without material pain

her heart had been but slightly touched and her vanity was satisfied

with believing that she would have been his only choice had fortune

permitted it the sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most

remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself

agreeable but elizabeth less clearsighted perhaps in this case than

in charlottes did not quarrel with him for his wish of independence

nothing on the contrary could be more natural and while able to

suppose that it cost him a few struggles to relinquish her she was

ready to allow it a wise and desirable measure for both and could very

sincerely wish him happy

all this was acknowledged to mrs gardiner and after relating the

circumstances she thus went on i am now convinced my dear aunt that

i have never been much in love for had i really experienced that pure

and elevating passion i should at present detest his very name and

wish him all manner of evil but my feelings are not only cordial

towards him they are even impartial towards miss king i cannot find

out that i hate her at all or that i am in the least unwilling to

think her a very good sort of girl there can be no love in all this my

watchfulness has been effectual and though i certainly should be a more

interesting object to all my acquaintances were i distractedly in love

with him i cannot say that i regret my comparative insignificance

importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly kitty and lydia take

his defection much more to heart than i do they are young in the

ways of the world and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that

handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain

chapter 

with no greater events than these in the longbourn family and otherwise

diversified by little beyond the walks to meryton sometimes dirty and

sometimes cold did january and february pass away march was to take

elizabeth to hunsford she had not at first thought very seriously of

going thither but charlotte she soon found was depending on the plan

and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure

as well as greater certainty absence had increased her desire of seeing

charlotte again and weakened her disgust of mr collins there

was novelty in the scheme and as with such a mother and such

uncompanionable sisters home could not be faultless a little change

was not unwelcome for its own sake the journey would moreover give her

a peep at jane and in short as the time drew near she would have

been very sorry for any delay everything however went on smoothly

and was finally settled according to charlottes first sketch she was

to accompany sir william and his second daughter the improvement

of spending a night in london was added in time and the plan became

perfect as plan could be

the only pain was in leaving her father who would certainly miss her

and who when it came to the point so little liked her going that he

told her to write to him and almost promised to answer her letter

the farewell between herself and mr wickham was perfectly friendly on

his side even more his present pursuit could not make him forget that

elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention the

first to listen and to pity the first to be admired and in his manner

of bidding her adieu wishing her every enjoyment reminding her of

what she was to expect in lady catherine de bourgh and trusting their

opinion of hertheir opinion of everybodywould always coincide there

was a solicitude an interest which she felt must ever attach her to

him with a most sincere regard and she parted from him convinced that

whether married or single he must always be her model of the amiable

and pleasing

her fellowtravellers the next day were not of a kind to make her

think him less agreeable sir william lucas and his daughter maria a

goodhumoured girl but as emptyheaded as himself had nothing to say

that could be worth hearing and were listened to with about as much

delight as the rattle of the chaise elizabeth loved absurdities but

she had known sir williams too long he could tell her nothing new of

the wonders of his presentation and knighthood and his civilities were

worn out like his information

it was a journey of only twentyfour miles and they began it so early

as to be in gracechurch street by noon as they drove to mr gardiners

door jane was at a drawingroom window watching their arrival when

they entered the passage she was there to welcome them and elizabeth

looking earnestly in her face was pleased to see it healthful and

lovely as ever on the stairs were a troop of little boys and girls

whose eagerness for their cousins appearance would not allow them to

wait in the drawingroom and whose shyness as they had not seen

her for a twelvemonth prevented their coming lower all was joy and

kindness the day passed most pleasantly away the morning in bustle and

shopping and the evening at one of the theatres

elizabeth then contrived to sit by her aunt their first object was her

sister and she was more grieved than astonished to hear in reply to

her minute inquiries that though jane always struggled to support her

spirits there were periods of dejection it was reasonable however

to hope that they would not continue long mrs gardiner gave her the

particulars also of miss bingleys visit in gracechurch street and

repeated conversations occurring at different times between jane and

herself which proved that the former had from her heart given up the

acquaintance

mrs gardiner then rallied her niece on wickhams desertion and

complimented her on bearing it so well

but my dear elizabeth she added what sort of girl is miss king i

should be sorry to think our friend mercenary

pray my dear aunt what is the difference in matrimonial affairs

between the mercenary and the prudent motive where does discretion end

and avarice begin last christmas you were afraid of his marrying me

because it would be imprudent and now because he is trying to get

a girl with only ten thousand pounds you want to find out that he is

mercenary

if you will only tell me what sort of girl miss king is i shall know

what to think

she is a very good kind of girl i believe i know no harm of her

but he paid her not the smallest attention till her grandfathers death

made her mistress of this fortune

nowhy should he if it were not allowable for him to gain my

affections because i had no money what occasion could there be for

making love to a girl whom he did not care about and who was equally

poor

but there seems an indelicacy in directing his attentions towards her

so soon after this event

a man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant

decorums which other people may observe if she does not object to it

why should we

her not objecting does not justify him it only shows her being

deficient in something herselfsense or feeling

well cried elizabeth have it as you choose he shall be

mercenary and she shall be foolish

no lizzy that is what i do not choose i should be sorry you know

to think ill of a young man who has lived so long in derbyshire

oh if that is all i have a very poor opinion of young men who live in

derbyshire and their intimate friends who live in hertfordshire are not

much better i am sick of them all thank heaven i am going tomorrow

where i shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality who has

neither manner nor sense to recommend him stupid men are the only ones

worth knowing after all

take care lizzy that speech savours strongly of disappointment

before they were separated by the conclusion of the play she had the

unexpected happiness of an invitation to accompany her uncle and aunt in

a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer

we have not determined how far it shall carry us said mrs gardiner

but perhaps to the lakes

no scheme could have been more agreeable to elizabeth and her

acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful oh my dear

dear aunt she rapturously cried what delight what felicity you

give me fresh life and vigour adieu to disappointment and spleen what

are young men to rocks and mountains oh what hours of transport

we shall spend and when we do return it shall not be like other

travellers without being able to give one accurate idea of anything we

will know where we have gonewe will recollect what we have seen

lakes mountains and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our

imaginations nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene

will we begin quarreling about its relative situation let our

first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of

travellers

chapter 

every object in the next days journey was new and interesting to

elizabeth and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment for she had

seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health

and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight

when they left the high road for the lane to hunsford every eye was in

search of the parsonage and every turning expected to bring it in view

the palings of rosings park was their boundary on one side elizabeth

smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants

at length the parsonage was discernible the garden sloping to the

road the house standing in it the green pales and the laurel hedge

everything declared they were arriving mr collins and charlotte

appeared at the door and the carriage stopped at the small gate which

led by a short gravel walk to the house amidst the nods and smiles of

the whole party in a moment they were all out of the chaise rejoicing

at the sight of each other mrs collins welcomed her friend with the

liveliest pleasure and elizabeth was more and more satisfied with

coming when she found herself so affectionately received she saw

instantly that her cousins manners were not altered by his marriage

his formal civility was just what it had been and he detained her some

minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her

family they were then with no other delay than his pointing out the

neatness of the entrance taken into the house and as soon as they

were in the parlour he welcomed them a second time with ostentatious

formality to his humble abode and punctually repeated all his wifes

offers of refreshment

elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory and she could not help

in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room its

aspect and its furniture he addressed himself particularly to her

as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him but

though everything seemed neat and comfortable she was not able to

gratify him by any sigh of repentance and rather looked with wonder at

her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion

when mr collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be

ashamed which certainly was not unseldom she involuntarily turned her

eye on charlotte once or twice she could discern a faint blush but

in general charlotte wisely did not hear after sitting long enough to

admire every article of furniture in the room from the sideboard to

the fender to give an account of their journey and of all that had

happened in london mr collins invited them to take a stroll in the

garden which was large and well laid out and to the cultivation of

which he attended himself to work in this garden was one of his most

respectable pleasures and elizabeth admired the command of countenance

with which charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise and

owned she encouraged it as much as possible here leading the way

through every walk and cross walk and scarcely allowing them an

interval to utter the praises he asked for every view was pointed out

with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind he could number the

fields in every direction and could tell how many trees there were in

the most distant clump but of all the views which his garden or which

the country or kingdom could boast none were to be compared with the

prospect of rosings afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered

the park nearly opposite the front of his house it was a handsome

modern building well situated on rising ground

from his garden mr collins would have led them round his two meadows

but the ladies not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white

frost turned back and while sir william accompanied him charlotte

took her sister and friend over the house extremely well pleased

probably to have the opportunity of showing it without her husbands

help it was rather small but well built and convenient and everything

was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which

elizabeth gave charlotte all the credit when mr collins could be

forgotten there was really an air of great comfort throughout and by

charlottes evident enjoyment of it elizabeth supposed he must be often

forgotten

she had already learnt that lady catherine was still in the country it

was spoken of again while they were at dinner when mr collins joining

in observed

yes miss elizabeth you will have the honour of seeing lady catherine

de bourgh on the ensuing sunday at church and i need not say you will

be delighted with her she is all affability and condescension and i

doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice

when service is over i have scarcely any hesitation in saying she

will include you and my sister maria in every invitation with which she

honours us during your stay here her behaviour to my dear charlotte is

charming we dine at rosings twice every week and are never allowed

to walk home her ladyships carriage is regularly ordered for us i

should say one of her ladyships carriages for she has several

lady catherine is a very respectable sensible woman indeed added

charlotte and a most attentive neighbour

very true my dear that is exactly what i say she is the sort of

woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference

the evening was spent chiefly in talking over hertfordshire news

and telling again what had already been written and when it closed

elizabeth in the solitude of her chamber had to meditate upon

charlottes degree of contentment to understand her address in guiding

and composure in bearing with her husband and to acknowledge that it

was all done very well she had also to anticipate how her visit

would pass the quiet tenor of their usual employments the vexatious

interruptions of mr collins and the gaieties of their intercourse with

rosings a lively imagination soon settled it all

about the middle of the next day as she was in her room getting ready

for a walk a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in

confusion and after listening a moment she heard somebody running

up stairs in a violent hurry and calling loudly after her she opened

the door and met maria in the landing place who breathless with

agitation cried out

oh my dear eliza pray make haste and come into the diningroom for

there is such a sight to be seen i will not tell you what it is make

haste and come down this moment

elizabeth asked questions in vain maria would tell her nothing more

and down they ran into the diningroom which fronted the lane in

quest of this wonder it was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the

garden gate

and is this all cried elizabeth i expected at least that the pigs

were got into the garden and here is nothing but lady catherine and her

daughter

la my dear said maria quite shocked at the mistake it is not

lady catherine the old lady is mrs jenkinson who lives with them

the other is miss de bourgh only look at her she is quite a little

creature who would have thought that she could be so thin and small

she is abominably rude to keep charlotte out of doors in all this wind

why does she not come in

oh charlotte says she hardly ever does it is the greatest of favours

when miss de bourgh comes in

i like her appearance said elizabeth struck with other ideas she

looks sickly and cross yes she will do for him very well she will

make him a very proper wife

mr collins and charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation

with the ladies and sir william to elizabeths high diversion was

stationed in the doorway in earnest contemplation of the greatness

before him and constantly bowing whenever miss de bourgh looked that

way

at length there was nothing more to be said the ladies drove on and

the others returned into the house mr collins no sooner saw the two

girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune which

charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked

to dine at rosings the next day

chapter 

mr collinss triumph in consequence of this invitation was complete

the power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering

visitors and of letting them see her civility towards himself and his

wife was exactly what he had wished for and that an opportunity

of doing it should be given so soon was such an instance of lady

catherines condescension as he knew not how to admire enough

i confess said he that i should not have been at all surprised by

her ladyships asking us on sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at

rosings i rather expected from my knowledge of her affability that it

would happen but who could have foreseen such an attention as this who

could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there

an invitation moreover including the whole party so immediately

after your arrival

i am the less surprised at what has happened replied sir william

from that knowledge of what the manners of the great really are which

my situation in life has allowed me to acquire about the court such

instances of elegant breeding are not uncommon

scarcely anything was talked of the whole day or next morning but their

visit to rosings mr collins was carefully instructing them in what

they were to expect that the sight of such rooms so many servants and

so splendid a dinner might not wholly overpower them

when the ladies were separating for the toilette he said to elizabeth

do not make yourself uneasy my dear cousin about your apparel lady

catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which

becomes herself and her daughter i would advise you merely to put on

whatever of your clothes is superior to the restthere is no occasion

for anything more lady catherine will not think the worse of you

for being simply dressed she likes to have the distinction of rank

preserved

while they were dressing he came two or three times to their different

doors to recommend their being quick as lady catherine very much

objected to be kept waiting for her dinner such formidable accounts of

her ladyship and her manner of living quite frightened maria lucas

who had been little used to company and she looked forward to her

introduction at rosings with as much apprehension as her father had done

to his presentation at st jamess

as the weather was fine they had a pleasant walk of about half a

mile across the park every park has its beauty and its prospects and

elizabeth saw much to be pleased with though she could not be in such

raptures as mr collins expected the scene to inspire and was but

slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the

house and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally

cost sir lewis de bourgh

when they ascended the steps to the hall marias alarm was every

moment increasing and even sir william did not look perfectly calm

elizabeths courage did not fail her she had heard nothing of lady

catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or

miraculous virtue and the mere stateliness of money or rank she thought

she could witness without trepidation

from the entrancehall of which mr collins pointed out with a

rapturous air the fine proportion and the finished ornaments they

followed the servants through an antechamber to the room where lady

catherine her daughter and mrs jenkinson were sitting her ladyship

with great condescension arose to receive them and as mrs collins had

settled it with her husband that the office of introduction should

be hers it was performed in a proper manner without any of those

apologies and thanks which he would have thought necessary

in spite of having been at st jamess sir william was so completely

awed by the grandeur surrounding him that he had but just courage

enough to make a very low bow and take his seat without saying a word

and his daughter frightened almost out of her senses sat on the edge

of her chair not knowing which way to look elizabeth found herself

quite equal to the scene and could observe the three ladies before her

composedly lady catherine was a tall large woman with stronglymarked

features which might once have been handsome her air was not

conciliating nor was her manner of receiving them such as to make her

visitors forget their inferior rank she was not rendered formidable by

silence but whatever she said was spoken in so authoritative a tone

as marked her selfimportance and brought mr wickham immediately to

elizabeths mind and from the observation of the day altogether she

believed lady catherine to be exactly what he represented

when after examining the mother in whose countenance and deportment

she soon found some resemblance of mr darcy she turned her eyes on the

daughter she could almost have joined in marias astonishment at her

being so thin and so small there was neither in figure nor face any

likeness between the ladies miss de bourgh was pale and sickly her

features though not plain were insignificant and she spoke very

little except in a low voice to mrs jenkinson in whose appearance

there was nothing remarkable and who was entirely engaged in listening

to what she said and placing a screen in the proper direction before

her eyes

after sitting a few minutes they were all sent to one of the windows to

admire the view mr collins attending them to point out its beauties

and lady catherine kindly informing them that it was much better worth

looking at in the summer

the dinner was exceedingly handsome and there were all the servants and

all the articles of plate which mr collins had promised and as he had

likewise foretold he took his seat at the bottom of the table by her

ladyships desire and looked as if he felt that life could furnish

nothing greater he carved and ate and praised with delighted

alacrity and every dish was commended first by him and then by sir

william who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his soninlaw

said in a manner which elizabeth wondered lady catherine could bear

but lady catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration and

gave most gracious smiles especially when any dish on the table proved

a novelty to them the party did not supply much conversation elizabeth

was ready to speak whenever there was an opening but she was seated

between charlotte and miss de bourghthe former of whom was engaged in

listening to lady catherine and the latter said not a word to her all

dinnertime mrs jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little

miss de bourgh ate pressing her to try some other dish and fearing

she was indisposed maria thought speaking out of the question and the

gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire

when the ladies returned to the drawingroom there was little to

be done but to hear lady catherine talk which she did without any

intermission till coffee came in delivering her opinion on every

subject in so decisive a manner as proved that she was not used to

have her judgement controverted she inquired into charlottes domestic

concerns familiarly and minutely gave her a great deal of advice as

to the management of them all told her how everything ought to be

regulated in so small a family as hers and instructed her as to the

care of her cows and her poultry elizabeth found that nothing was

beneath this great ladys attention which could furnish her with an

occasion of dictating to others in the intervals of her discourse

with mrs collins she addressed a variety of questions to maria and

elizabeth but especially to the latter of whose connections she knew

the least and who she observed to mrs collins was a very genteel

pretty kind of girl she asked her at different times how many sisters

she had whether they were older or younger than herself whether any of

them were likely to be married whether they were handsome where they

had been educated what carriage her father kept and what had been

her mothers maiden name elizabeth felt all the impertinence of

her questions but answered them very composedly lady catherine then

observed

your fathers estate is entailed on mr collins i think for your

sake turning to charlotte i am glad of it but otherwise i see no

occasion for entailing estates from the female line it was not thought

necessary in sir lewis de bourghs family do you play and sing miss

bennet

a little

oh thensome time or other we shall be happy to hear you our

instrument is a capital one probably superior toyou shall try it

some day do your sisters play and sing

one of them does

why did not you all learn you ought all to have learned the miss

webbs all play and their father has not so good an income as yours do

you draw

no not at all

what none of you

not one

that is very strange but i suppose you had no opportunity your mother

should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters

my mother would have had no objection but my father hates london

has your governess left you

we never had any governess

no governess how was that possible five daughters brought up at home

without a governess i never heard of such a thing your mother must

have been quite a slave to your education

elizabeth could hardly help smiling as she assured her that had not been

the case

then who taught you who attended to you without a governess you

must have been neglected

compared with some families i believe we were but such of us as

wished to learn never wanted the means we were always encouraged to

read and had all the masters that were necessary those who chose to be

idle certainly might

aye no doubt but that is what a governess will prevent and if i had

known your mother i should have advised her most strenuously to engage

one i always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady

and regular instruction and nobody but a governess can give it it is

wonderful how many families i have been the means of supplying in that

way i am always glad to get a young person well placed out four nieces

of mrs jenkinson are most delightfully situated through my means and

it was but the other day that i recommended another young person

who was merely accidentally mentioned to me and the family are quite

delighted with her mrs collins did i tell you of lady metcalfs

calling yesterday to thank me she finds miss pope a treasure lady

catherine said she you have given me a treasure are any of your

younger sisters out miss bennet

yes maam all

all what all five out at once very odd and you only the second the

younger ones out before the elder ones are married your younger sisters

must be very young

yes my youngest is not sixteen perhaps she is full young to be

much in company but really maam i think it would be very hard upon

younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and

amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to

marry early the lastborn has as good a right to the pleasures of youth

as the first and to be kept back on such a motive i think it would

not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind

upon my word said her ladyship you give your opinion very decidedly

for so young a person pray what is your age

with three younger sisters grown up replied elizabeth smiling your

ladyship can hardly expect me to own it

lady catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer

and elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever

dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence

you cannot be more than twenty i am sure therefore you need not

conceal your age

i am not oneandtwenty

when the gentlemen had joined them and tea was over the cardtables

were placed lady catherine sir william and mr and mrs collins sat

down to quadrille and as miss de bourgh chose to play at cassino the

two girls had the honour of assisting mrs jenkinson to make up her

party their table was superlatively stupid scarcely a syllable was

uttered that did not relate to the game except when mrs jenkinson

expressed her fears of miss de bourghs being too hot or too cold or

having too much or too little light a great deal more passed at the

other table lady catherine was generally speakingstating the mistakes

of the three others or relating some anecdote of herself mr collins

was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship said thanking her

for every fish he won and apologising if he thought he won too many

sir william did not say much he was storing his memory with anecdotes

and noble names

when lady catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose

the tables were broken up the carriage was offered to mrs collins

gratefully accepted and immediately ordered the party then gathered

round the fire to hear lady catherine determine what weather they were

to have on the morrow from these instructions they were summoned by

the arrival of the coach and with many speeches of thankfulness on mr

collinss side and as many bows on sir williams they departed as soon

as they had driven from the door elizabeth was called on by her cousin

to give her opinion of all that she had seen at rosings which for

charlottes sake she made more favourable than it really was but her

commendation though costing her some trouble could by no means satisfy

mr collins and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyships praise

into his own hands

chapter 

sir william stayed only a week at hunsford but his visit was long

enough to convince him of his daughters being most comfortably settled

and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not

often met with while sir william was with them mr collins devoted his

morning to driving him out in his gig and showing him the country but

when he went away the whole family returned to their usual employments

and elizabeth was thankful to find that they did not see more of her

cousin by the alteration for the chief of the time between breakfast

and dinner was now passed by him either at work in the garden or in

reading and writing and looking out of the window in his own bookroom

which fronted the road the room in which the ladies sat was backwards

elizabeth had at first rather wondered that charlotte should not prefer

the diningparlour for common use it was a better sized room and had a

more pleasant aspect but she soon saw that her friend had an excellent

reason for what she did for mr collins would undoubtedly have been

much less in his own apartment had they sat in one equally lively and

she gave charlotte credit for the arrangement

from the drawingroom they could distinguish nothing in the lane and

were indebted to mr collins for the knowledge of what carriages went

along and how often especially miss de bourgh drove by in her phaeton

which he never failed coming to inform them of though it happened

almost every day she not unfrequently stopped at the parsonage and

had a few minutes conversation with charlotte but was scarcely ever

prevailed upon to get out

very few days passed in which mr collins did not walk to rosings and

not many in which his wife did not think it necessary to go likewise

and till elizabeth recollected that there might be other family livings

to be disposed of she could not understand the sacrifice of so many

hours now and then they were honoured with a call from her ladyship

and nothing escaped her observation that was passing in the room during

these visits she examined into their employments looked at their work

and advised them to do it differently found fault with the arrangement

of the furniture or detected the housemaid in negligence and if she

accepted any refreshment seemed to do it only for the sake of finding

out that mrs collinss joints of meat were too large for her family

elizabeth soon perceived that though this great lady was not in

commission of the peace of the county she was a most active magistrate

in her own parish the minutest concerns of which were carried to her

by mr collins and whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to

be quarrelsome discontented or too poor she sallied forth into the

village to settle their differences silence their complaints and scold

them into harmony and plenty

the entertainment of dining at rosings was repeated about twice a week

and allowing for the loss of sir william and there being only one

cardtable in the evening every such entertainment was the counterpart

of the first their other engagements were few as the style of living

in the neighbourhood in general was beyond mr collinss reach this

however was no evil to elizabeth and upon the whole she spent her time

comfortably enough there were halfhours of pleasant conversation with

charlotte and the weather was so fine for the time of year that she had

often great enjoyment out of doors her favourite walk and where she

frequently went while the others were calling on lady catherine was

along the open grove which edged that side of the park where there was

a nice sheltered path which no one seemed to value but herself and

where she felt beyond the reach of lady catherines curiosity

in this quiet way the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away

easter was approaching and the week preceding it was to bring an

addition to the family at rosings which in so small a circle must be

important elizabeth had heard soon after her arrival that mr darcy was

expected there in the course of a few weeks and though there were not

many of her acquaintances whom she did not prefer his coming would

furnish one comparatively new to look at in their rosings parties and

she might be amused in seeing how hopeless miss bingleys designs on him

were by his behaviour to his cousin for whom he was evidently

destined by lady catherine who talked of his coming with the greatest

satisfaction spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration and

seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by

miss lucas and herself

his arrival was soon known at the parsonage for mr collins was walking

the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into hunsford lane

in order to have the earliest assurance of it and after making his

bow as the carriage turned into the park hurried home with the great

intelligence on the following morning he hastened to rosings to pay his

respects there were two nephews of lady catherine to require them for

mr darcy had brought with him a colonel fitzwilliam the younger son of

his uncle lord  and to the great surprise of all the party when

mr collins returned the gentlemen accompanied him charlotte had seen

them from her husbands room crossing the road and immediately running

into the other told the girls what an honour they might expect adding

i may thank you eliza for this piece of civility mr darcy would

never have come so soon to wait upon me

elizabeth had scarcely time to disclaim all right to the compliment

before their approach was announced by the doorbell and shortly

afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room colonel fitzwilliam

who led the way was about thirty not handsome but in person and

address most truly the gentleman mr darcy looked just as he had been

used to look in hertfordshirepaid his compliments with his usual

reserve to mrs collins and whatever might be his feelings toward her

friend met her with every appearance of composure elizabeth merely

curtseyed to him without saying a word

colonel fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the

readiness and ease of a wellbred man and talked very pleasantly but

his cousin after having addressed a slight observation on the house and

garden to mrs collins sat for some time without speaking to anybody

at length however his civility was so far awakened as to inquire of

elizabeth after the health of her family she answered him in the usual

way and after a moments pause added

my eldest sister has been in town these three months have you never

happened to see her there

she was perfectly sensible that he never had but she wished to see

whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between

the bingleys and jane and she thought he looked a little confused as he

answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet miss bennet the

subject was pursued no farther and the gentlemen soon afterwards went

away

chapter 

colonel fitzwilliams manners were very much admired at the parsonage

and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures

of their engagements at rosings it was some days however before they

received any invitation thitherfor while there were visitors in the

house they could not be necessary and it was not till easterday

almost a week after the gentlemens arrival that they were honoured by

such an attention and then they were merely asked on leaving church to

come there in the evening for the last week they had seen very little

of lady catherine or her daughter colonel fitzwilliam had called at the

parsonage more than once during the time but mr darcy they had seen

only at church

the invitation was accepted of course and at a proper hour they joined

the party in lady catherines drawingroom her ladyship received

them civilly but it was plain that their company was by no means so

acceptable as when she could get nobody else and she was in fact

almost engrossed by her nephews speaking to them especially to darcy

much more than to any other person in the room

colonel fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them anything was a

welcome relief to him at rosings and mrs collinss pretty friend had

moreover caught his fancy very much he now seated himself by her and

talked so agreeably of kent and hertfordshire of travelling and staying

at home of new books and music that elizabeth had never been half so

well entertained in that room before and they conversed with so much

spirit and flow as to draw the attention of lady catherine herself

as well as of mr darcy his eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned

towards them with a look of curiosity and that her ladyship after a

while shared the feeling was more openly acknowledged for she did not

scruple to call out

what is that you are saying fitzwilliam what is it you are talking

of what are you telling miss bennet let me hear what it is

we are speaking of music madam said he when no longer able to avoid

a reply

of music then pray speak aloud it is of all subjects my delight i

must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music

there are few people in england i suppose who have more true enjoyment

of music than myself or a better natural taste if i had ever learnt

i should have been a great proficient and so would anne if her health

had allowed her to apply i am confident that she would have performed

delightfully how does georgiana get on darcy

mr darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sisters proficiency

i am very glad to hear such a good account of her said lady

catherine and pray tell her from me that she cannot expect to excel

if she does not practice a good deal

i assure you madam he replied that she does not need such advice

she practises very constantly

so much the better it cannot be done too much and when i next write

to her i shall charge her not to neglect it on any account i often

tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without

constant practice i have told miss bennet several times that she

will never play really well unless she practises more and though mrs

collins has no instrument she is very welcome as i have often told

her to come to rosings every day and play on the pianoforte in mrs

jenkinsons room she would be in nobodys way you know in that part

of the house

mr darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunts illbreeding and made

no answer

when coffee was over colonel fitzwilliam reminded elizabeth of having

promised to play to him and she sat down directly to the instrument he

drew a chair near her lady catherine listened to half a song and then

talked as before to her other nephew till the latter walked away

from her and making with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte

stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performers

countenance elizabeth saw what he was doing and at the first

convenient pause turned to him with an arch smile and said

you mean to frighten me mr darcy by coming in all this state to hear

me i will not be alarmed though your sister does play so well there

is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the

will of others my courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate

me

i shall not say you are mistaken he replied because you could not

really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you and i have

had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find

great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are

not your own

elizabeth laughed heartily at this picture of herself and said to

colonel fitzwilliam your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of

me and teach you not to believe a word i say i am particularly unlucky

in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character in a part

of the world where i had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of

credit indeed mr darcy it is very ungenerous in you to mention all

that you knew to my disadvantage in hertfordshireand give me leave to

say very impolitic toofor it is provoking me to retaliate and such

things may come out as will shock your relations to hear

i am not afraid of you said he smilingly

pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of cried colonel

fitzwilliam i should like to know how he behaves among strangers

you shall hear thenbut prepare yourself for something very dreadful

the first time of my ever seeing him in hertfordshire you must know

was at a balland at this ball what do you think he did he danced

only four dances though gentlemen were scarce and to my certain

knowledge more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a

partner mr darcy you cannot deny the fact

i had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly

beyond my own party

true and nobody can ever be introduced in a ballroom well colonel

fitzwilliam what do i play next my fingers wait your orders

perhaps said darcy i should have judged better had i sought an

introduction but i am illqualified to recommend myself to strangers

shall we ask your cousin the reason of this said elizabeth still

addressing colonel fitzwilliam shall we ask him why a man of sense and

education and who has lived in the world is ill qualified to recommend

himself to strangers

i can answer your question said fitzwilliam without applying to

him it is because he will not give himself the trouble

i certainly have not the talent which some people possess said darcy

of conversing easily with those i have never seen before i cannot

catch their tone of conversation or appear interested in their

concerns as i often see done

my fingers said elizabeth do not move over this instrument in the

masterly manner which i see so many womens do they have not the same

force or rapidity and do not produce the same expression but then i

have always supposed it to be my own faultbecause i will not take the

trouble of practising it is not that i do not believe my fingers as

capable as any other womans of superior execution

darcy smiled and said you are perfectly right you have employed your

time much better no one admitted to the privilege of hearing you can

think anything wanting we neither of us perform to strangers

here they were interrupted by lady catherine who called out to know

what they were talking of elizabeth immediately began playing again

lady catherine approached and after listening for a few minutes said

to darcy

miss bennet would not play at all amiss if she practised more and

could have the advantage of a london master she has a very good notion

of fingering though her taste is not equal to annes anne would have

been a delightful performer had her health allowed her to learn

elizabeth looked at darcy to see how cordially he assented to his

cousins praise but neither at that moment nor at any other could she

discern any symptom of love and from the whole of his behaviour to miss

de bourgh she derived this comfort for miss bingley that he might have

been just as likely to marry her had she been his relation

lady catherine continued her remarks on elizabeths performance mixing

with them many instructions on execution and taste elizabeth received

them with all the forbearance of civility and at the request of the

gentlemen remained at the instrument till her ladyships carriage was

ready to take them all home

chapter 

elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning and writing to jane

while mrs collins and maria were gone on business into the village

when she was startled by a ring at the door the certain signal of a

visitor as she had heard no carriage she thought it not unlikely to

be lady catherine and under that apprehension was putting away her

halffinished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions

when the door opened and to her very great surprise mr darcy and

mr darcy only entered the room

he seemed astonished too on finding her alone and apologised for his

intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies were

to be within

they then sat down and when her inquiries after rosings were made

seemed in danger of sinking into total silence it was absolutely

necessary therefore to think of something and in this emergence

recollecting when she had seen him last in hertfordshire and

feeling curious to know what he would say on the subject of their hasty

departure she observed

how very suddenly you all quitted netherfield last november mr darcy

it must have been a most agreeable surprise to mr bingley to see you

all after him so soon for if i recollect right he went but the day

before he and his sisters were well i hope when you left london

perfectly so i thank you

she found that she was to receive no other answer and after a short

pause added

i think i have understood that mr bingley has not much idea of ever

returning to netherfield again

i have never heard him say so but it is probable that he may spend

very little of his time there in the future he has many friends and

is at a time of life when friends and engagements are continually

increasing

if he means to be but little at netherfield it would be better for

the neighbourhood that he should give up the place entirely for then we

might possibly get a settled family there but perhaps mr bingley did

not take the house so much for the convenience of the neighbourhood as

for his own and we must expect him to keep it or quit it on the same

principle

i should not be surprised said darcy if he were to give it up as

soon as any eligible purchase offers

elizabeth made no answer she was afraid of talking longer of his

friend and having nothing else to say was now determined to leave the

trouble of finding a subject to him

he took the hint and soon began with this seems a very comfortable

house lady catherine i believe did a great deal to it when mr

collins first came to hunsford

i believe she didand i am sure she could not have bestowed her

kindness on a more grateful object

mr collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife

yes indeed his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one

of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him or have made

him happy if they had my friend has an excellent understandingthough

i am not certain that i consider her marrying mr collins as the

wisest thing she ever did she seems perfectly happy however and in a

prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her

it must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a

distance of her own family and friends

an easy distance do you call it it is nearly fifty miles

and what is fifty miles of good road little more than half a days

journey yes i call it a very easy distance

i should never have considered the distance as one of the advantages

of the match cried elizabeth i should never have said mrs collins

was settled near her family

it is a proof of your own attachment to hertfordshire anything beyond

the very neighbourhood of longbourn i suppose would appear far

as he spoke there was a sort of smile which elizabeth fancied she

understood he must be supposing her to be thinking of jane and

netherfield and she blushed as she answered

i do not mean to say that a woman may not be settled too near her

family the far and the near must be relative and depend on many

varying circumstances where there is fortune to make the expenses of

travelling unimportant distance becomes no evil but that is not the

case here mr and mrs collins have a comfortable income but not

such a one as will allow of frequent journeysand i am persuaded my

friend would not call herself near her family under less than half

the present distance

mr darcy drew his chair a little towards her and said you cannot

have a right to such very strong local attachment you cannot have

been always at longbourn

elizabeth looked surprised the gentleman experienced some change of

feeling he drew back his chair took a newspaper from the table and

glancing over it said in a colder voice

are you pleased with kent

a short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued on either side

calm and conciseand soon put an end to by the entrance of charlotte

and her sister just returned from her walk the teteatete surprised

them mr darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding

on miss bennet and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying

much to anybody went away

what can be the meaning of this said charlotte as soon as he was

gone my dear eliza he must be in love with you or he would never

have called us in this familiar way

but when elizabeth told of his silence it did not seem very likely

even to charlottes wishes to be the case and after various

conjectures they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed from

the difficulty of finding anything to do which was the more probable

from the time of year all field sports were over within doors there

was lady catherine books and a billiardtable but gentlemen cannot

always be within doors and in the nearness of the parsonage or the

pleasantness of the walk to it or of the people who lived in it the

two cousins found a temptation from this period of walking thither

almost every day they called at various times of the morning sometimes

separately sometimes together and now and then accompanied by their

aunt it was plain to them all that colonel fitzwilliam came because he

had pleasure in their society a persuasion which of course recommended

him still more and elizabeth was reminded by her own satisfaction in

being with him as well as by his evident admiration of her of her

former favourite george wickham and though in comparing them she saw

there was less captivating softness in colonel fitzwilliams manners

she believed he might have the best informed mind

but why mr darcy came so often to the parsonage it was more difficult

to understand it could not be for society as he frequently sat there

ten minutes together without opening his lips and when he did speak

it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of choicea sacrifice

to propriety not a pleasure to himself he seldom appeared really

animated mrs collins knew not what to make of him colonel

fitzwilliams occasionally laughing at his stupidity proved that he was

generally different which her own knowledge of him could not have told

her and as she would liked to have believed this change the effect

of love and the object of that love her friend eliza she set herself

seriously to work to find it out she watched him whenever they were at

rosings and whenever he came to hunsford but without much success he

certainly looked at her friend a great deal but the expression of that

look was disputable it was an earnest steadfast gaze but she often

doubted whether there were much admiration in it and sometimes it

seemed nothing but absence of mind

she had once or twice suggested to elizabeth the possibility of his

being partial to her but elizabeth always laughed at the idea and mrs

collins did not think it right to press the subject from the danger of

raising expectations which might only end in disappointment for in her

opinion it admitted not of a doubt that all her friends dislike would

vanish if she could suppose him to be in her power

in her kind schemes for elizabeth she sometimes planned her marrying

colonel fitzwilliam he was beyond comparison the most pleasant man he

certainly admired her and his situation in life was most eligible but

to counterbalance these advantages mr darcy had considerable patronage

in the church and his cousin could have none at all

chapter 

more than once did elizabeth in her ramble within the park

unexpectedly meet mr darcy she felt all the perverseness of the

mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought and to

prevent its ever happening again took care to inform him at first that

it was a favourite haunt of hers how it could occur a second time

therefore was very odd yet it did and even a third it seemed like

wilful illnature or a voluntary penance for on these occasions it was

not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away

but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her he

never said a great deal nor did she give herself the trouble of talking

or of listening much but it struck her in the course of their third

rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected questionsabout

her pleasure in being at hunsford her love of solitary walks and her

opinion of mr and mrs collinss happiness and that in speaking of

rosings and her not perfectly understanding the house he seemed to

expect that whenever she came into kent again she would be staying

there too his words seemed to imply it could he have colonel

fitzwilliam in his thoughts she supposed if he meant anything he must

mean an allusion to what might arise in that quarter it distressed

her a little and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the

pales opposite the parsonage

she was engaged one day as she walked in perusing janes last letter

and dwelling on some passages which proved that jane had not written in

spirits when instead of being again surprised by mr darcy she saw

on looking up that colonel fitzwilliam was meeting her putting away the

letter immediately and forcing a smile she said

i did not know before that you ever walked this way

i have been making the tour of the park he replied as i generally

do every year and intend to close it with a call at the parsonage are

you going much farther

no i should have turned in a moment

and accordingly she did turn and they walked towards the parsonage

together

do you certainly leave kent on saturday said she

yesif darcy does not put it off again but i am at his disposal he

arranges the business just as he pleases

and if not able to please himself in the arrangement he has at least

pleasure in the great power of choice i do not know anybody who seems

more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than mr darcy

he likes to have his own way very well replied colonel fitzwilliam

but so we all do it is only that he has better means of having it

than many others because he is rich and many others are poor i speak

feelingly a younger son you know must be inured to selfdenial and

dependence

in my opinion the younger son of an earl can know very little of

either now seriously what have you ever known of selfdenial and

dependence when have you been prevented by want of money from going

wherever you chose or procuring anything you had a fancy for

these are home questionsand perhaps i cannot say that i have

experienced many hardships of that nature but in matters of greater

weight i may suffer from want of money younger sons cannot marry where

they like

unless where they like women of fortune which i think they very often

do

our habits of expense make us too dependent and there are not many

in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to

money

is this thought elizabeth meant for me and she coloured at the

idea but recovering herself said in a lively tone and pray what

is the usual price of an earls younger son unless the elder brother is

very sickly i suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds

he answered her in the same style and the subject dropped to interrupt

a silence which might make him fancy her affected with what had passed

she soon afterwards said

i imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of

having someone at his disposal i wonder he does not marry to secure a

lasting convenience of that kind but perhaps his sister does as well

for the present and as she is under his sole care he may do what he

likes with her

no said colonel fitzwilliam that is an advantage which he must

divide with me i am joined with him in the guardianship of miss darcy

are you indeed and pray what sort of guardians do you make does your

charge give you much trouble young ladies of her age are sometimes a

little difficult to manage and if she has the true darcy spirit she

may like to have her own way

as she spoke she observed him looking at her earnestly and the manner

in which he immediately asked her why she supposed miss darcy likely to

give them any uneasiness convinced her that she had somehow or other

got pretty near the truth she directly replied

you need not be frightened i never heard any harm of her and i dare

say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world she is a

very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance mrs hurst and

miss bingley i think i have heard you say that you know them

i know them a little their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike manhe

is a great friend of darcys

oh yes said elizabeth drily mr darcy is uncommonly kind to mr

bingley and takes a prodigious deal of care of him

care of him yes i really believe darcy does take care of him in

those points where he most wants care from something that he told me in

our journey hither i have reason to think bingley very much indebted to

him but i ought to beg his pardon for i have no right to suppose that

bingley was the person meant it was all conjecture

what is it you mean

it is a circumstance which darcy could not wish to be generally known

because if it were to get round to the ladys family it would be an

unpleasant thing

you may depend upon my not mentioning it

and remember that i have not much reason for supposing it to be

bingley what he told me was merely this that he congratulated himself

on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most

imprudent marriage but without mentioning names or any other

particulars and i only suspected it to be bingley from believing

him the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort and from

knowing them to have been together the whole of last summer

did mr darcy give you reasons for this interference

i understood that there were some very strong objections against the

lady

and what arts did he use to separate them

he did not talk to me of his own arts said fitzwilliam smiling he

only told me what i have now told you

elizabeth made no answer and walked on her heart swelling with

indignation after watching her a little fitzwilliam asked her why she

was so thoughtful

i am thinking of what you have been telling me said she your

cousins conduct does not suit my feelings why was he to be the judge

you are rather disposed to call his interference officious

i do not see what right mr darcy had to decide on the propriety of his

friends inclination or why upon his own judgement alone he was to

determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy

but she continued recollecting herself as we know none of the

particulars it is not fair to condemn him it is not to be supposed

that there was much affection in the case

that is not an unnatural surmise said fitzwilliam but it is a

lessening of the honour of my cousins triumph very sadly

this was spoken jestingly but it appeared to her so just a picture

of mr darcy that she would not trust herself with an answer and

therefore abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent

matters until they reached the parsonage there shut into her own room

as soon as their visitor left them she could think without interruption

of all that she had heard it was not to be supposed that any other

people could be meant than those with whom she was connected there

could not exist in the world two men over whom mr darcy could have

such boundless influence that he had been concerned in the measures

taken to separate bingley and jane she had never doubted but she had

always attributed to miss bingley the principal design and arrangement

of them if his own vanity however did not mislead him he was

the cause his pride and caprice were the cause of all that jane had

suffered and still continued to suffer he had ruined for a while

every hope of happiness for the most affectionate generous heart in the

world and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted

there were some very strong objections against the lady were colonel

fitzwilliams words and those strong objections probably were her

having one uncle who was a country attorney and another who was in

business in london

to jane herself she exclaimed there could be no possibility of

objection all loveliness and goodness as she isher understanding

excellent her mind improved and her manners captivating neither

could anything be urged against my father who though with some

peculiarities has abilities mr darcy himself need not disdain and

respectability which he will probably never reach when she thought of

her mother her confidence gave way a little but she would not allow

that any objections there had material weight with mr darcy whose

pride she was convinced would receive a deeper wound from the want of

importance in his friends connections than from their want of sense

and she was quite decided at last that he had been partly governed

by this worst kind of pride and partly by the wish of retaining mr

bingley for his sister

the agitation and tears which the subject occasioned brought on a

headache and it grew so much worse towards the evening that added to

her unwillingness to see mr darcy it determined her not to attend her

cousins to rosings where they were engaged to drink tea mrs collins

seeing that she was really unwell did not press her to go and as much

as possible prevented her husband from pressing her but mr collins

could not conceal his apprehension of lady catherines being rather

displeased by her staying at home

chapter 

when they were gone elizabeth as if intending to exasperate herself

as much as possible against mr darcy chose for her employment the

examination of all the letters which jane had written to her since her

being in kent they contained no actual complaint nor was there any

revival of past occurrences or any communication of present suffering

but in all and in almost every line of each there was a want of that

cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style and which

proceeding from the serenity of a mind at ease with itself and kindly

disposed towards everyone had been scarcely ever clouded elizabeth

noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness with an

attention which it had hardly received on the first perusal mr darcys

shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict gave her

a keener sense of her sisters sufferings it was some consolation

to think that his visit to rosings was to end on the day after the

nextand a still greater that in less than a fortnight she should

herself be with jane again and enabled to contribute to the recovery of

her spirits by all that affection could do

she could not think of darcys leaving kent without remembering that

his cousin was to go with him but colonel fitzwilliam had made it clear

that he had no intentions at all and agreeable as he was she did not

mean to be unhappy about him

while settling this point she was suddenly roused by the sound of the

doorbell and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its

being colonel fitzwilliam himself who had once before called late in

the evening and might now come to inquire particularly after her

but this idea was soon banished and her spirits were very differently

affected when to her utter amazement she saw mr darcy walk into the

room in an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her

health imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better

she answered him with cold civility he sat down for a few moments and

then getting up walked about the room elizabeth was surprised but

said not a word after a silence of several minutes he came towards her

in an agitated manner and thus began

in vain i have struggled it will not do my feelings will not be

repressed you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love

you

elizabeths astonishment was beyond expression she stared coloured

doubted and was silent this he considered sufficient encouragement

and the avowal of all that he felt and had long felt for her

immediately followed he spoke well but there were feelings besides

those of the heart to be detailed and he was not more eloquent on the

subject of tenderness than of pride his sense of her inferiorityof

its being a degradationof the family obstacles which had always

opposed to inclination were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to

the consequence he was wounding but was very unlikely to recommend his

suit

in spite of her deeplyrooted dislike she could not be insensible to

the compliment of such a mans affection and though her intentions did

not vary for an instant she was at first sorry for the pain he was to

receive till roused to resentment by his subsequent language she

lost all compassion in anger she tried however to compose herself to

answer him with patience when he should have done he concluded with

representing to her the strength of that attachment which in spite

of all his endeavours he had found impossible to conquer and with

expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of

his hand as he said this she could easily see that he had no doubt

of a favourable answer he spoke of apprehension and anxiety but

his countenance expressed real security such a circumstance could

only exasperate farther and when he ceased the colour rose into her

cheeks and she said

in such cases as this it is i believe the established mode to

express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed however

unequally they may be returned it is natural that obligation should

be felt and if i could feel gratitude i would now thank you but i

cannoti have never desired your good opinion and you have certainly

bestowed it most unwillingly i am sorry to have occasioned pain to

anyone it has been most unconsciously done however and i hope will be

of short duration the feelings which you tell me have long prevented

the acknowledgment of your regard can have little difficulty in

overcoming it after this explanation

mr darcy who was leaning against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed

on her face seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than

surprise his complexion became pale with anger and the disturbance

of his mind was visible in every feature he was struggling for the

appearance of composure and would not open his lips till he believed

himself to have attained it the pause was to elizabeths feelings

dreadful at length with a voice of forced calmness he said

and this is all the reply which i am to have the honour of expecting

i might perhaps wish to be informed why with so little endeavour at

civility i am thus rejected but it is of small importance

i might as well inquire replied she why with so evident a desire

of offending and insulting me you chose to tell me that you liked me

against your will against your reason and even against your character

was not this some excuse for incivility if i was uncivil but i have

other provocations you know i have had not my feelings decided against

youhad they been indifferent or had they even been favourable do you

think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has

been the means of ruining perhaps for ever the happiness of a most

beloved sister

as she pronounced these words mr darcy changed colour but the emotion

was short and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she

continued

i have every reason in the world to think ill of you no motive can

excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted there you dare not

you cannot deny that you have been the principal if not the only means

of dividing them from each otherof exposing one to the censure of the

world for caprice and instability and the other to its derision for

disappointed hopes and involving them both in misery of the acutest

kind

she paused and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening

with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse

he even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity

can you deny that you have done it she repeated

with assumed tranquillity he then replied i have no wish of denying

that i did everything in my power to separate my friend from your

sister or that i rejoice in my success towards him i have been

kinder than towards myself

elizabeth disdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection

but its meaning did not escape nor was it likely to conciliate her

but it is not merely this affair she continued on which my dislike

is founded long before it had taken place my opinion of you was

decided your character was unfolded in the recital which i received

many months ago from mr wickham on this subject what can you have to

say in what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself

or under what misrepresentation can you here impose upon others

you take an eager interest in that gentlemans concerns said darcy

in a less tranquil tone and with a heightened colour

who that knows what his misfortunes have been can help feeling an

interest in him

his misfortunes repeated darcy contemptuously yes his misfortunes

have been great indeed

and of your infliction cried elizabeth with energy you have reduced

him to his present state of povertycomparative poverty you have

withheld the advantages which you must know to have been designed for

him you have deprived the best years of his life of that independence

which was no less his due than his desert you have done all this

and yet you can treat the mention of his misfortune with contempt and

ridicule

and this cried darcy as he walked with quick steps across the room

is your opinion of me this is the estimation in which you hold me

i thank you for explaining it so fully my faults according to this

calculation are heavy indeed but perhaps added he stopping in

his walk and turning towards her these offenses might have been

overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the

scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design these

bitter accusations might have been suppressed had i with greater

policy concealed my struggles and flattered you into the belief of

my being impelled by unqualified unalloyed inclination by reason by

reflection by everything but disguise of every sort is my abhorrence

nor am i ashamed of the feelings i related they were natural and

just could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your

connectionsto congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose

condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own

elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment yet she tried to

the utmost to speak with composure when she said

you are mistaken mr darcy if you suppose that the mode of your

declaration affected me in any other way than as it spared me the concern

which i might have felt in refusing you had you behaved in a more

gentlemanlike manner

she saw him start at this but he said nothing and she continued

you could not have made the offer of your hand in any possible way that

would have tempted me to accept it

again his astonishment was obvious and he looked at her with an

expression of mingled incredulity and mortification she went on

from the very beginningfrom the first moment i may almost sayof

my acquaintance with you your manners impressing me with the fullest

belief of your arrogance your conceit and your selfish disdain of

the feelings of others were such as to form the groundwork of

disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a

dislike and i had not known you a month before i felt that you were the

last man in the world whom i could ever be prevailed on to marry

you have said quite enough madam i perfectly comprehend your

feelings and have now only to be ashamed of what my own have been

forgive me for having taken up so much of your time and accept my best

wishes for your health and happiness

and with these words he hastily left the room and elizabeth heard him

the next moment open the front door and quit the house

the tumult of her mind was now painfully great she knew not how

to support herself and from actual weakness sat down and cried for

halfanhour her astonishment as she reflected on what had passed

was increased by every review of it that she should receive an offer of

marriage from mr darcy that he should have been in love with her for

so many months so much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of

all the objections which had made him prevent his friends marrying

her sister and which must appear at least with equal force in his

own casewas almost incredible it was gratifying to have inspired

unconsciously so strong an affection but his pride his abominable

pridehis shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to

janehis unpardonable assurance in acknowledging though he could

not justify it and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned mr

wickham his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny soon

overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for

a moment excited she continued in very agitated reflections till the

sound of lady catherines carriage made her feel how unequal she was to

encounter charlottes observation and hurried her away to her room

chapter 

elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations

which had at length closed her eyes she could not yet recover from the

surprise of what had happened it was impossible to think of anything

else and totally indisposed for employment she resolved soon after

breakfast to indulge herself in air and exercise she was proceeding

directly to her favourite walk when the recollection of mr darcys

sometimes coming there stopped her and instead of entering the park

she turned up the lane which led farther from the turnpikeroad the

park paling was still the boundary on one side and she soon passed one

of the gates into the ground

after walking two or three times along that part of the lane she was

tempted by the pleasantness of the morning to stop at the gates and

look into the park the five weeks which she had now passed in kent had

made a great difference in the country and every day was adding to the

verdure of the early trees she was on the point of continuing her walk

when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which

edged the park he was moving that way and fearful of its being mr

darcy she was directly retreating but the person who advanced was now

near enough to see her and stepping forward with eagerness pronounced

her name she had turned away but on hearing herself called though

in a voice which proved it to be mr darcy she moved again towards the

gate he had by that time reached it also and holding out a letter

which she instinctively took said with a look of haughty composure

i have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you

will you do me the honour of reading that letter and then with a

slight bow turned again into the plantation and was soon out of sight

with no expectation of pleasure but with the strongest curiosity

elizabeth opened the letter and to her still increasing wonder

perceived an envelope containing two sheets of letterpaper written

quite through in a very close hand the envelope itself was likewise

full pursuing her way along the lane she then began it it was dated

from rosings at eight oclock in the morning and was as follows

be not alarmed madam on receiving this letter by the apprehension

of its containing any repetition of those sentiments or renewal of those

offers which were last night so disgusting to you i write without any

intention of paining you or humbling myself by dwelling on wishes

which for the happiness of both cannot be too soon forgotten and the

effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion

should have been spared had not my character required it to be written

and read you must therefore pardon the freedom with which i demand

your attention your feelings i know will bestow it unwillingly but i

demand it of your justice

two offenses of a very different nature and by no means of equal

magnitude you last night laid to my charge the first mentioned was

that regardless of the sentiments of either i had detached mr bingley

from your sister and the other that i had in defiance of various

claims in defiance of honour and humanity ruined the immediate

prosperity and blasted the prospects of mr wickham wilfully and

wantonly to have thrown off the companion of my youth the acknowledged

favourite of my father a young man who had scarcely any other

dependence than on our patronage and who had been brought up to expect

its exertion would be a depravity to which the separation of two young

persons whose affection could be the growth of only a few weeks could

bear no comparison but from the severity of that blame which was last

night so liberally bestowed respecting each circumstance i shall hope

to be in the future secured when the following account of my actions

and their motives has been read if in the explanation of them which

is due to myself i am under the necessity of relating feelings which

may be offensive to yours i can only say that i am sorry the necessity

must be obeyed and further apology would be absurd

i had not been long in hertfordshire before i saw in common with

others that bingley preferred your elder sister to any other young

woman in the country but it was not till the evening of the dance

at netherfield that i had any apprehension of his feeling a serious

attachment i had often seen him in love before at that ball while i

had the honour of dancing with you i was first made acquainted by sir

william lucass accidental information that bingleys attentions to

your sister had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage

he spoke of it as a certain event of which the time alone could

be undecided from that moment i observed my friends behaviour

attentively and i could then perceive that his partiality for miss

bennet was beyond what i had ever witnessed in him your sister i also

watched her look and manners were open cheerful and engaging as ever

but without any symptom of peculiar regard and i remained convinced

from the evenings scrutiny that though she received his attentions

with pleasure she did not invite them by any participation of

sentiment if you have not been mistaken here i must have been

in error your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter

probable if it be so if i have been misled by such error to inflict

pain on her your resentment has not been unreasonable but i shall not

scruple to assert that the serenity of your sisters countenance and

air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction

that however amiable her temper her heart was not likely to be

easily touched that i was desirous of believing her indifferent is

certainbut i will venture to say that my investigation and decisions

are not usually influenced by my hopes or fears i did not believe

her to be indifferent because i wished it i believed it on impartial

conviction as truly as i wished it in reason my objections to the

marriage were not merely those which i last night acknowledged to have

the utmost force of passion to put aside in my own case the want of

connection could not be so great an evil to my friend as to me but

there were other causes of repugnance causes which though still

existing and existing to an equal degree in both instances i had

myself endeavoured to forget because they were not immediately before

me these causes must be stated though briefly the situation of your

mothers family though objectionable was nothing in comparison to that

total want of propriety so frequently so almost uniformly betrayed by

herself by your three younger sisters and occasionally even by your

father pardon me it pains me to offend you but amidst your concern

for the defects of your nearest relations and your displeasure at this

representation of them let it give you consolation to consider that to

have conducted yourselves so as to avoid any share of the like censure

is praise no less generally bestowed on you and your elder sister than

it is honourable to the sense and disposition of both i will only say

farther that from what passed that evening my opinion of all parties

was confirmed and every inducement heightened which could have led

me before to preserve my friend from what i esteemed a most unhappy

connection he left netherfield for london on the day following as

you i am certain remember with the design of soon returning

the part which i acted is now to be explained his sisters uneasiness

had been equally excited with my own our coincidence of feeling was

soon discovered and alike sensible that no time was to be lost in

detaching their brother we shortly resolved on joining him directly in

london we accordingly wentand there i readily engaged in the office

of pointing out to my friend the certain evils of such a choice i

described and enforced them earnestly but however this remonstrance

might have staggered or delayed his determination i do not suppose

that it would ultimately have prevented the marriage had it not been

seconded by the assurance that i hesitated not in giving of your

sisters indifference he had before believed her to return his

affection with sincere if not with equal regard but bingley has great

natural modesty with a stronger dependence on my judgement than on his

own to convince him therefore that he had deceived himself was

no very difficult point to persuade him against returning into

hertfordshire when that conviction had been given was scarcely the

work of a moment i cannot blame myself for having done thus much there

is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which i do not

reflect with satisfaction it is that i condescended to adopt the

measures of art so far as to conceal from him your sisters being in

town i knew it myself as it was known to miss bingley but her

brother is even yet ignorant of it that they might have met without

ill consequence is perhaps probable but his regard did not appear to me

enough extinguished for him to see her without some danger perhaps this

concealment this disguise was beneath me it is done however and it

was done for the best on this subject i have nothing more to say no

other apology to offer if i have wounded your sisters feelings it

was unknowingly done and though the motives which governed me may to

you very naturally appear insufficient i have not yet learnt to condemn

them

with respect to that other more weighty accusation of having injured

mr wickham i can only refute it by laying before you the whole of his

connection with my family of what he has particularly accused me i

am ignorant but of the truth of what i shall relate i can summon more

than one witness of undoubted veracity

mr wickham is the son of a very respectable man who had for many

years the management of all the pemberley estates and whose good

conduct in the discharge of his trust naturally inclined my father to

be of service to him and on george wickham who was his godson his

kindness was therefore liberally bestowed my father supported him at

school and afterwards at cambridgemost important assistance as his

own father always poor from the extravagance of his wife would have

been unable to give him a gentlemans education my father was not only

fond of this young mans society whose manners were always engaging he

had also the highest opinion of him and hoping the church would be

his profession intended to provide for him in it as for myself it is

many many years since i first began to think of him in a very different

manner the vicious propensitiesthe want of principle which he was

careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend could not escape

the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself

and who had opportunities of seeing him in unguarded moments which mr

darcy could not have here again i shall give you painto what degree

you only can tell but whatever may be the sentiments which mr wickham

has created a suspicion of their nature shall not prevent me from

unfolding his real characterit adds even another motive

my excellent father died about five years ago and his attachment to

mr wickham was to the last so steady that in his will he particularly

recommended it to me to promote his advancement in the best manner

that his profession might allowand if he took orders desired that a

valuable family living might be his as soon as it became vacant there

was also a legacy of one thousand pounds his own father did not long

survive mine and within half a year from these events mr wickham

wrote to inform me that having finally resolved against taking orders

he hoped i should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more

immediate pecuniary advantage in lieu of the preferment by which he

could not be benefited he had some intention he added of studying

law and i must be aware that the interest of one thousand pounds would

be a very insufficient support therein i rather wished than believed

him to be sincere but at any rate was perfectly ready to accede to

his proposal i knew that mr wickham ought not to be a clergyman the

business was therefore soon settledhe resigned all claim to assistance

in the church were it possible that he could ever be in a situation to

receive it and accepted in return three thousand pounds all connection

between us seemed now dissolved i thought too ill of him to invite him

to pemberley or admit his society in town in town i believe he chiefly

lived but his studying the law was a mere pretence and being now free

from all restraint his life was a life of idleness and dissipation

for about three years i heard little of him but on the decease of the

incumbent of the living which had been designed for him he applied to

me again by letter for the presentation his circumstances he assured

me and i had no difficulty in believing it were exceedingly bad he

had found the law a most unprofitable study and was now absolutely

resolved on being ordained if i would present him to the living in

questionof which he trusted there could be little doubt as he was

well assured that i had no other person to provide for and i could not

have forgotten my revered fathers intentions you will hardly blame

me for refusing to comply with this entreaty or for resisting every

repetition to it his resentment was in proportion to the distress of

his circumstancesand he was doubtless as violent in his abuse of me

to others as in his reproaches to myself after this period every

appearance of acquaintance was dropped how he lived i know not but

last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice

i must now mention a circumstance which i would wish to forget myself

and which no obligation less than the present should induce me to unfold

to any human being having said thus much i feel no doubt of your

secrecy my sister who is more than ten years my junior was left to

the guardianship of my mothers nephew colonel fitzwilliam and myself

about a year ago she was taken from school and an establishment formed

for her in london and last summer she went with the lady who presided

over it to ramsgate and thither also went mr wickham undoubtedly by

design for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him

and mrs younge in whose character we were most unhappily deceived and

by her connivance and aid he so far recommended himself to georgiana

whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to

her as a child that she was persuaded to believe herself in love and

to consent to an elopement she was then but fifteen which must be her

excuse and after stating her imprudence i am happy to add that i owed

the knowledge of it to herself i joined them unexpectedly a day or two

before the intended elopement and then georgiana unable to support the

idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as

a father acknowledged the whole to me you may imagine what i felt and

how i acted regard for my sisters credit and feelings prevented

any public exposure but i wrote to mr wickham who left the place

immediately and mrs younge was of course removed from her charge mr

wickhams chief object was unquestionably my sisters fortune which

is thirty thousand pounds but i cannot help supposing that the hope of

revenging himself on me was a strong inducement his revenge would have

been complete indeed

this madam is a faithful narrative of every event in which we have

been concerned together and if you do not absolutely reject it as

false you will i hope acquit me henceforth of cruelty towards mr

wickham i know not in what manner under what form of falsehood he

had imposed on you but his success is not perhaps to be wondered

at ignorant as you previously were of everything concerning either

detection could not be in your power and suspicion certainly not in

your inclination

you may possibly wonder why all this was not told you last night but

i was not then master enough of myself to know what could or ought to

be revealed for the truth of everything here related i can appeal more

particularly to the testimony of colonel fitzwilliam who from our

near relationship and constant intimacy and still more as one of

the executors of my fathers will has been unavoidably acquainted

with every particular of these transactions if your abhorrence of me

should make my assertions valueless you cannot be prevented by

the same cause from confiding in my cousin and that there may be

the possibility of consulting him i shall endeavour to find some

opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the

morning i will only add god bless you

fitzwilliam darcy

chapter 

if elizabeth when mr darcy gave her the letter did not expect it to

contain a renewal of his offers she had formed no expectation at all of

its contents but such as they were it may well be supposed how eagerly

she went through them and what a contrariety of emotion they excited

her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined with amazement did

she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power

and steadfastly was she persuaded that he could have no explanation

to give which a just sense of shame would not conceal with a strong

prejudice against everything he might say she began his account of what

had happened at netherfield she read with an eagerness which hardly

left her power of comprehension and from impatience of knowing what the

next sentence might bring was incapable of attending to the sense of

the one before her eyes his belief of her sisters insensibility she

instantly resolved to be false and his account of the real the worst

objections to the match made her too angry to have any wish of doing

him justice he expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied

her his style was not penitent but haughty it was all pride and

insolence

but when this subject was succeeded by his account of mr wickhamwhen

she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which

if true must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth and which

bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himselfher

feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition

astonishment apprehension and even horror oppressed her she wished

to discredit it entirely repeatedly exclaiming this must be false

this cannot be this must be the grossest falsehoodand when she had

gone through the whole letter though scarcely knowing anything of the

last page or two put it hastily away protesting that she would not

regard it that she would never look in it again

in this perturbed state of mind with thoughts that could rest on

nothing she walked on but it would not do in half a minute the letter

was unfolded again and collecting herself as well as she could she

again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to wickham and

commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence

the account of his connection with the pemberley family was exactly what

he had related himself and the kindness of the late mr darcy though

she had not before known its extent agreed equally well with his own

words so far each recital confirmed the other but when she came to the

will the difference was great what wickham had said of the living

was fresh in her memory and as she recalled his very words it was

impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the

other and for a few moments she flattered herself that her wishes did

not err but when she read and reread with the closest attention the

particulars immediately following of wickhams resigning all pretensions

to the living of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three

thousand pounds again was she forced to hesitate she put down

the letter weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be

impartialitydeliberated on the probability of each statementbut with

little success on both sides it was only assertion again she read

on but every line proved more clearly that the affair which she had

believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to

render mr darcys conduct in it less than infamous was capable of a

turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole

the extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at

mr wickhams charge exceedingly shocked her the more so as she could

bring no proof of its injustice she had never heard of him before his

entrance into the shire militia in which he had engaged at the

persuasion of the young man who on meeting him accidentally in town

had there renewed a slight acquaintance of his former way of life

nothing had been known in hertfordshire but what he told himself as

to his real character had information been in her power she had

never felt a wish of inquiring his countenance voice and manner had

established him at once in the possession of every virtue she tried

to recollect some instance of goodness some distinguished trait of

integrity or benevolence that might rescue him from the attacks of

mr darcy or at least by the predominance of virtue atone for those

casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what mr darcy

had described as the idleness and vice of many years continuance but

no such recollection befriended her she could see him instantly before

her in every charm of air and address but she could remember no more

substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood and

the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess after

pausing on this point a considerable while she once more continued to

read but alas the story which followed of his designs on miss

darcy received some confirmation from what had passed between colonel

fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before and at last she was

referred for the truth of every particular to colonel fitzwilliam

himselffrom whom she had previously received the information of his

near concern in all his cousins affairs and whose character she had no

reason to question at one time she had almost resolved on applying to

him but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application and

at length wholly banished by the conviction that mr darcy would never

have hazarded such a proposal if he had not been well assured of his

cousins corroboration

she perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation

between wickham and herself in their first evening at mr phillipss

many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory she was now

struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger and

wondered it had escaped her before she saw the indelicacy of putting

himself forward as he had done and the inconsistency of his professions

with his conduct she remembered that he had boasted of having no fear

of seeing mr darcythat mr darcy might leave the country but that

he should stand his ground yet he had avoided the netherfield ball

the very next week she remembered also that till the netherfield

family had quitted the country he had told his story to no one but

herself but that after their removal it had been everywhere discussed

that he had then no reserves no scruples in sinking mr darcys

character though he had assured her that respect for the father would

always prevent his exposing the son

how differently did everything now appear in which he was concerned

his attentions to miss king were now the consequence of views solely and

hatefully mercenary and the mediocrity of her fortune proved no longer

the moderation of his wishes but his eagerness to grasp at anything

his behaviour to herself could now have had no tolerable motive he had

either been deceived with regard to her fortune or had been gratifying

his vanity by encouraging the preference which she believed she had most

incautiously shown every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter

and fainter and in farther justification of mr darcy she could not

but allow that mr bingley when questioned by jane had long ago

asserted his blamelessness in the affair that proud and repulsive as

were his manners she had never in the whole course of their

acquaintancean acquaintance which had latterly brought them much

together and given her a sort of intimacy with his waysseen anything

that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjustanything that spoke him

of irreligious or immoral habits that among his own connections he was

esteemed and valuedthat even wickham had allowed him merit as a

brother and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his

sister as to prove him capable of some amiable feeling that had his

actions been what mr wickham represented them so gross a violation of

everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world and

that friendship between a person capable of it and such an amiable man

as mr bingley was incomprehensible

she grew absolutely ashamed of herself of neither darcy nor wickham

could she think without feeling she had been blind partial prejudiced

absurd

how despicably i have acted she cried i who have prided myself

on my discernment i who have valued myself on my abilities who have

often disdained the generous candour of my sister and gratified

my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust how humiliating is this

discovery yet how just a humiliation had i been in love i could

not have been more wretchedly blind but vanity not love has been my

folly pleased with the preference of one and offended by the neglect

of the other on the very beginning of our acquaintance i have courted

prepossession and ignorance and driven reason away where either were

concerned till this moment i never knew myself

from herself to janefrom jane to bingley her thoughts were in a line

which soon brought to her recollection that mr darcys explanation

there had appeared very insufficient and she read it again widely

different was the effect of a second perusal how could she deny that

credit to his assertions in one instance which she had been obliged to

give in the other he declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her

sisters attachment and she could not help remembering what charlottes

opinion had always been neither could she deny the justice of his

description of jane she felt that janes feelings though fervent were

little displayed and that there was a constant complacency in her air

and manner not often united with great sensibility

when she came to that part of the letter in which her family were

mentioned in terms of such mortifying yet merited reproach her sense

of shame was severe the justice of the charge struck her too forcibly

for denial and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as

having passed at the netherfield ball and as confirming all his first

disapprobation could not have made a stronger impression on his mind

than on hers

the compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt it soothed

but it could not console her for the contempt which had thus been

selfattracted by the rest of her family and as she considered

that janes disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest

relations and reflected how materially the credit of both must be hurt

by such impropriety of conduct she felt depressed beyond anything she

had ever known before

after wandering along the lane for two hours giving way to every

variety of thoughtreconsidering events determining probabilities

and reconciling herself as well as she could to a change so sudden and

so important fatigue and a recollection of her long absence made

her at length return home and she entered the house with the wish

of appearing cheerful as usual and the resolution of repressing such

reflections as must make her unfit for conversation

she was immediately told that the two gentlemen from rosings had each

called during her absence mr darcy only for a few minutes to take

leavebut that colonel fitzwilliam had been sitting with them at least

an hour hoping for her return and almost resolving to walk after her

till she could be found elizabeth could but just affect concern

in missing him she really rejoiced at it colonel fitzwilliam was no

longer an object she could think only of her letter

chapter 

the two gentlemen left rosings the next morning and mr collins having

been in waiting near the lodges to make them his parting obeisance was

able to bring home the pleasing intelligence of their appearing in very

good health and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected after the

melancholy scene so lately gone through at rosings to rosings he then

hastened to console lady catherine and her daughter and on his return

brought back with great satisfaction a message from her ladyship

importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of

having them all to dine with her

elizabeth could not see lady catherine without recollecting that had

she chosen it she might by this time have been presented to her as

her future niece nor could she think without a smile of what her

ladyships indignation would have been what would she have said how

would she have behaved were questions with which she amused herself

their first subject was the diminution of the rosings party i assure

you i feel it exceedingly said lady catherine i believe no one

feels the loss of friends so much as i do but i am particularly

attached to these young men and know them to be so much attached to

me they were excessively sorry to go but so they always are the

dear colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last but darcy

seemed to feel it most acutely more i think than last year his

attachment to rosings certainly increases

mr collins had a compliment and an allusion to throw in here which

were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter

lady catherine observed after dinner that miss bennet seemed out of

spirits and immediately accounting for it by herself by supposing that

she did not like to go home again so soon she added

but if that is the case you must write to your mother and beg that

you may stay a little longer mrs collins will be very glad of your

company i am sure

i am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation replied

elizabeth but it is not in my power to accept it i must be in town

next saturday

why at that rate you will have been here only six weeks i expected

you to stay two months i told mrs collins so before you came there

can be no occasion for your going so soon mrs bennet could certainly

spare you for another fortnight

but my father cannot he wrote last week to hurry my return

oh your father of course may spare you if your mother can daughters

are never of so much consequence to a father and if you will stay

another month complete it will be in my power to take one of you as

far as london for i am going there early in june for a week and as

dawson does not object to the barouchebox there will be very good room

for one of youand indeed if the weather should happen to be cool i

should not object to taking you both as you are neither of you large

you are all kindness madam but i believe we must abide by our

original plan

lady catherine seemed resigned mrs collins you must send a servant

with them you know i always speak my mind and i cannot bear the idea

of two young women travelling post by themselves it is highly improper

you must contrive to send somebody i have the greatest dislike in

the world to that sort of thing young women should always be properly

guarded and attended according to their situation in life when my

niece georgiana went to ramsgate last summer i made a point of her

having two menservants go with her miss darcy the daughter of

mr darcy of pemberley and lady anne could not have appeared with

propriety in a different manner i am excessively attentive to all those

things you must send john with the young ladies mrs collins i

am glad it occurred to me to mention it for it would really be

discreditable to you to let them go alone

my uncle is to send a servant for us

oh your uncle he keeps a manservant does he i am very glad you

have somebody who thinks of these things where shall you change horses

oh bromley of course if you mention my name at the bell you will be

attended to

lady catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey

and as she did not answer them all herself attention was necessary

which elizabeth believed to be lucky for her or with a mind so

occupied she might have forgotten where she was reflection must be

reserved for solitary hours whenever she was alone she gave way to it

as the greatest relief and not a day went by without a solitary

walk in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant

recollections

mr darcys letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart she

studied every sentence and her feelings towards its writer were at

times widely different when she remembered the style of his address

she was still full of indignation but when she considered how unjustly

she had condemned and upbraided him her anger was turned against

herself and his disappointed feelings became the object of compassion

his attachment excited gratitude his general character respect but she

could not approve him nor could she for a moment repent her refusal

or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again in her own past

behaviour there was a constant source of vexation and regret and in

the unhappy defects of her family a subject of yet heavier chagrin

they were hopeless of remedy her father contented with laughing at

them would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his

youngest daughters and her mother with manners so far from right

herself was entirely insensible of the evil elizabeth had frequently

united with jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of catherine

and lydia but while they were supported by their mothers indulgence

what chance could there be of improvement catherine weakspirited

irritable and completely under lydias guidance had been always

affronted by their advice and lydia selfwilled and careless would

scarcely give them a hearing they were ignorant idle and vain while

there was an officer in meryton they would flirt with him and while

meryton was within a walk of longbourn they would be going there

forever

anxiety on janes behalf was another prevailing concern and mr darcys

explanation by restoring bingley to all her former good opinion

heightened the sense of what jane had lost his affection was proved

to have been sincere and his conduct cleared of all blame unless any

could attach to the implicitness of his confidence in his friend how

grievous then was the thought that of a situation so desirable in every

respect so replete with advantage so promising for happiness jane had

been deprived by the folly and indecorum of her own family

when to these recollections was added the development of wickhams

character it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had

seldom been depressed before were now so much affected as to make it

almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful

their engagements at rosings were as frequent during the last week of

her stay as they had been at first the very last evening was spent

there and her ladyship again inquired minutely into the particulars of

their journey gave them directions as to the best method of packing

and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right

way that maria thought herself obliged on her return to undo all the

work of the morning and pack her trunk afresh

when they parted lady catherine with great condescension wished them

a good journey and invited them to come to hunsford again next year

and miss de bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her

hand to both

chapter 

on saturday morning elizabeth and mr collins met for breakfast a few

minutes before the others appeared and he took the opportunity of

paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably necessary

i know not miss elizabeth said he whether mrs collins has yet

expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us but i am very

certain you will not leave the house without receiving her thanks for

it the favour of your company has been much felt i assure you we

know how little there is to tempt anyone to our humble abode our plain

manner of living our small rooms and few domestics and the little we

see of the world must make hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like

yourself but i hope you will believe us grateful for the condescension

and that we have done everything in our power to prevent your spending

your time unpleasantly

elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness she

had spent six weeks with great enjoyment and the pleasure of being with

charlotte and the kind attentions she had received must make her

feel the obliged mr collins was gratified and with a more smiling

solemnity replied

it gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not

disagreeably we have certainly done our best and most fortunately

having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society and

from our connection with rosings the frequent means of varying the

humble home scene i think we may flatter ourselves that your hunsford

visit cannot have been entirely irksome our situation with regard to

lady catherines family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage

and blessing which few can boast you see on what a footing we are you

see how continually we are engaged there in truth i must acknowledge

that with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage i should

not think anyone abiding in it an object of compassion while they are

sharers of our intimacy at rosings

words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings and he was

obliged to walk about the room while elizabeth tried to unite civility

and truth in a few short sentences

you may in fact carry a very favourable report of us into

hertfordshire my dear cousin i flatter myself at least that you will

be able to do so lady catherines great attentions to mrs collins you

have been a daily witness of and altogether i trust it does not appear

that your friend has drawn an unfortunatebut on this point it will be

as well to be silent only let me assure you my dear miss elizabeth

that i can from my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in

marriage my dear charlotte and i have but one mind and one way of

thinking there is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of

character and ideas between us we seem to have been designed for each

other

elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was

the case and with equal sincerity could add that she firmly believed

and rejoiced in his domestic comforts she was not sorry however to

have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang

poor charlotte it was melancholy to leave her to such society but she

had chosen it with her eyes open and though evidently regretting that

her visitors were to go she did not seem to ask for compassion her

home and her housekeeping her parish and her poultry and all their

dependent concerns had not yet lost their charms

at length the chaise arrived the trunks were fastened on the parcels

placed within and it was pronounced to be ready after an affectionate

parting between the friends elizabeth was attended to the carriage by

mr collins and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her

with his best respects to all her family not forgetting his thanks

for the kindness he had received at longbourn in the winter and his

compliments to mr and mrs gardiner though unknown he then handed her

in maria followed and the door was on the point of being closed

when he suddenly reminded them with some consternation that they had

hitherto forgotten to leave any message for the ladies at rosings

but he added you will of course wish to have your humble respects

delivered to them with your grateful thanks for their kindness to you

while you have been here

elizabeth made no objection the door was then allowed to be shut and

the carriage drove off

good gracious cried maria after a few minutes silence it seems

but a day or two since we first came and yet how many things have

happened

a great many indeed said her companion with a sigh

we have dined nine times at rosings besides drinking tea there twice

how much i shall have to tell

elizabeth added privately and how much i shall have to conceal

their journey was performed without much conversation or any alarm and

within four hours of their leaving hunsford they reached mr gardiners

house where they were to remain a few days

jane looked well and elizabeth had little opportunity of studying her

spirits amidst the various engagements which the kindness of her

aunt had reserved for them but jane was to go home with her and at

longbourn there would be leisure enough for observation

it was not without an effort meanwhile that she could wait even for

longbourn before she told her sister of mr darcys proposals to know

that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish

jane and must at the same time so highly gratify whatever of her own

vanity she had not yet been able to reason away was such a temptation

to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision

in which she remained as to the extent of what she should communicate

and her fear if she once entered on the subject of being hurried

into repeating something of bingley which might only grieve her sister

further

chapter 

it was the second week in may in which the three young ladies set out

together from gracechurch street for the town of  in hertfordshire

and as they drew near the appointed inn where mr bennets carriage

was to meet them they quickly perceived in token of the coachmans

punctuality both kitty and lydia looking out of a diningroom up stairs

these two girls had been above an hour in the place happily employed

in visiting an opposite milliner watching the sentinel on guard and

dressing a salad and cucumber

after welcoming their sisters they triumphantly displayed a table set

out with such cold meat as an inn larder usually affords exclaiming

is not this nice is not this an agreeable surprise

and we mean to treat you all added lydia but you must lend us the

money for we have just spent ours at the shop out there then showing

her purchaseslook here i have bought this bonnet i do not think

it is very pretty but i thought i might as well buy it as not i shall

pull it to pieces as soon as i get home and see if i can make it up any

better

and when her sisters abused it as ugly she added with perfect

unconcern oh but there were two or three much uglier in the shop and

when i have bought some prettiercoloured satin to trim it with fresh i

think it will be very tolerable besides it will not much signify what

one wears this summer after the shire have left meryton and they

are going in a fortnight

are they indeed cried elizabeth with the greatest satisfaction

they are going to be encamped near brighton and i do so want papa to

take us all there for the summer it would be such a delicious scheme

and i dare say would hardly cost anything at all mamma would like to

go too of all things only think what a miserable summer else we shall

have

yes thought elizabeth that would be a delightful scheme indeed

and completely do for us at once good heaven brighton and a whole

campful of soldiers to us who have been overset already by one poor

regiment of militia and the monthly balls of meryton

now i have got some news for you said lydia as they sat down at

table what do you think it is excellent newscapital newsand about

a certain person we all like

jane and elizabeth looked at each other and the waiter was told he need

not stay lydia laughed and said

aye that is just like your formality and discretion you thought the

waiter must not hear as if he cared i dare say he often hears worse

things said than i am going to say but he is an ugly fellow i am glad

he is gone i never saw such a long chin in my life well but now for

my news it is about dear wickham too good for the waiter is it not

there is no danger of wickhams marrying mary king theres for you she

is gone down to her uncle at liverpool gone to stay wickham is safe

and mary king is safe added elizabeth safe from a connection

imprudent as to fortune

she is a great fool for going away if she liked him

but i hope there is no strong attachment on either side said jane

i am sure there is not on his i will answer for it he never cared

three straws about herwho could about such a nasty little freckled

thing

elizabeth was shocked to think that however incapable of such

coarseness of expression herself the coarseness of the sentiment

was little other than her own breast had harboured and fancied liberal

as soon as all had ate and the elder ones paid the carriage was

ordered and after some contrivance the whole party with all their

boxes workbags and parcels and the unwelcome addition of kittys and

lydias purchases were seated in it

how nicely we are all crammed in cried lydia i am glad i bought my

bonnet if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox well now

let us be quite comfortable and snug and talk and laugh all the way

home and in the first place let us hear what has happened to you all

since you went away have you seen any pleasant men have you had any

flirting i was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband

before you came back jane will be quite an old maid soon i declare

she is almost threeandtwenty lord how ashamed i should be of not

being married before threeandtwenty my aunt phillips wants you so to

get husbands you cant think she says lizzy had better have taken mr

collins but i do not think there would have been any fun in it lord

how i should like to be married before any of you and then i would

chaperon you about to all the balls dear me we had such a good piece

of fun the other day at colonel forsters kitty and me were to spend

the day there and mrs forster promised to have a little dance in the

evening by the bye mrs forster and me are such friends and so

she asked the two harringtons to come but harriet was ill and so pen

was forced to come by herself and then what do you think we did we

dressed up chamberlayne in womans clothes on purpose to pass for a

lady only think what fun not a soul knew of it but colonel and mrs

forster and kitty and me except my aunt for we were forced to borrow

one of her gowns and you cannot imagine how well he looked when denny

and wickham and pratt and two or three more of the men came in they

did not know him in the least lord how i laughed and so did mrs

forster i thought i should have died and that made the men suspect

something and then they soon found out what was the matter

with such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes did

lydia assisted by kittys hints and additions endeavour to amuse her

companions all the way to longbourn elizabeth listened as little as she

could but there was no escaping the frequent mention of wickhams name

their reception at home was most kind mrs bennet rejoiced to see jane

in undiminished beauty and more than once during dinner did mr bennet

say voluntarily to elizabeth

i am glad you are come back lizzy

their party in the diningroom was large for almost all the lucases

came to meet maria and hear the news and various were the subjects that

occupied them lady lucas was inquiring of maria after the welfare and

poultry of her eldest daughter mrs bennet was doubly engaged on one

hand collecting an account of the present fashions from jane who sat

some way below her and on the other retailing them all to the younger

lucases and lydia in a voice rather louder than any other persons

was enumerating the various pleasures of the morning to anybody who

would hear her

oh mary said she i wish you had gone with us for we had such fun

as we went along kitty and i drew up the blinds and pretended there

was nobody in the coach and i should have gone so all the way if kitty

had not been sick and when we got to the george i do think we behaved

very handsomely for we treated the other three with the nicest cold

luncheon in the world and if you would have gone we would have treated

you too and then when we came away it was such fun i thought we never

should have got into the coach i was ready to die of laughter and then

we were so merry all the way home we talked and laughed so loud that

anybody might have heard us ten miles off

to this mary very gravely replied far be it from me my dear sister

to depreciate such pleasures they would doubtless be congenial with the

generality of female minds but i confess they would have no charms for

mei should infinitely prefer a book

but of this answer lydia heard not a word she seldom listened to

anybody for more than half a minute and never attended to mary at all

in the afternoon lydia was urgent with the rest of the girls to walk

to meryton and to see how everybody went on but elizabeth steadily

opposed the scheme it should not be said that the miss bennets could

not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers

there was another reason too for her opposition she dreaded seeing mr

wickham again and was resolved to avoid it as long as possible the

comfort to her of the regiments approaching removal was indeed beyond

expression in a fortnight they were to goand once gone she hoped

there could be nothing more to plague her on his account

she had not been many hours at home before she found that the brighton

scheme of which lydia had given them a hint at the inn was under

frequent discussion between her parents elizabeth saw directly that her

father had not the smallest intention of yielding but his answers were

at the same time so vague and equivocal that her mother though often

disheartened had never yet despaired of succeeding at last

chapter 

elizabeths impatience to acquaint jane with what had happened could

no longer be overcome and at length resolving to suppress every

particular in which her sister was concerned and preparing her to be

surprised she related to her the next morning the chief of the scene

between mr darcy and herself

miss bennets astonishment was soon lessened by the strong sisterly

partiality which made any admiration of elizabeth appear perfectly

natural and all surprise was shortly lost in other feelings she was

sorry that mr darcy should have delivered his sentiments in a manner so

little suited to recommend them but still more was she grieved for the

unhappiness which her sisters refusal must have given him

his being so sure of succeeding was wrong said she and certainly

ought not to have appeared but consider how much it must increase his

disappointment

indeed replied elizabeth i am heartily sorry for him but he has

other feelings which will probably soon drive away his regard for me

you do not blame me however for refusing him

blame you oh no

but you blame me for having spoken so warmly of wickham

noi do not know that you were wrong in saying what you did

but you will know it when i tell you what happened the very next

day

she then spoke of the letter repeating the whole of its contents as far

as they concerned george wickham what a stroke was this for poor jane

who would willingly have gone through the world without believing that

so much wickedness existed in the whole race of mankind as was here

collected in one individual nor was darcys vindication though

grateful to her feelings capable of consoling her for such discovery

most earnestly did she labour to prove the probability of error and

seek to clear the one without involving the other

this will not do said elizabeth you never will be able to make both

of them good for anything take your choice but you must be satisfied

with only one there is but such a quantity of merit between them just

enough to make one good sort of man and of late it has been shifting

about pretty much for my part i am inclined to believe it all darcys

but you shall do as you choose

it was some time however before a smile could be extorted from jane

i do not know when i have been more shocked said she wickham so

very bad it is almost past belief and poor mr darcy dear lizzy only

consider what he must have suffered such a disappointment and with the

knowledge of your ill opinion too and having to relate such a thing

of his sister it is really too distressing i am sure you must feel it

so

oh no my regret and compassion are all done away by seeing you so

full of both i know you will do him such ample justice that i am

growing every moment more unconcerned and indifferent your profusion

makes me saving and if you lament over him much longer my heart will

be as light as a feather

poor wickham there is such an expression of goodness in his

countenance such an openness and gentleness in his manner

there certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those

two young men one has got all the goodness and the other all the

appearance of it

i never thought mr darcy so deficient in the appearance of it as you

used to do

and yet i meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike

to him without any reason it is such a spur to ones genius such an

opening for wit to have a dislike of that kind one may be continually

abusive without saying anything just but one cannot always be laughing

at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty

lizzy when you first read that letter i am sure you could not treat

the matter as you do now

indeed i could not i was uncomfortable enough i may say unhappy and

with no one to speak to about what i felt no jane to comfort me and say

that i had not been so very weak and vain and nonsensical as i knew i

had oh how i wanted you

how unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions

in speaking of wickham to mr darcy for now they do appear wholly

undeserved

certainly but the misfortune of speaking with bitterness is a most

natural consequence of the prejudices i had been encouraging there

is one point on which i want your advice i want to be told whether i

ought or ought not to make our acquaintances in general understand

wickhams character

miss bennet paused a little and then replied surely there can be no

occasion for exposing him so dreadfully what is your opinion

that it ought not to be attempted mr darcy has not authorised me

to make his communication public on the contrary every particular

relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to

myself and if i endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his

conduct who will believe me the general prejudice against mr darcy

is so violent that it would be the death of half the good people in

meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light i am not equal

to it wickham will soon be gone and therefore it will not signify to

anyone here what he really is some time hence it will be all found out

and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before at

present i will say nothing about it

you are quite right to have his errors made public might ruin him for

ever he is now perhaps sorry for what he has done and anxious to

reestablish a character we must not make him desperate

the tumult of elizabeths mind was allayed by this conversation she had

got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fortnight

and was certain of a willing listener in jane whenever she might wish

to talk again of either but there was still something lurking behind

of which prudence forbade the disclosure she dared not relate the other

half of mr darcys letter nor explain to her sister how sincerely she

had been valued by her friend here was knowledge in which no one

could partake and she was sensible that nothing less than a perfect

understanding between the parties could justify her in throwing off

this last encumbrance of mystery and then said she if that very

improbable event should ever take place i shall merely be able to

tell what bingley may tell in a much more agreeable manner himself the

liberty of communication cannot be mine till it has lost all its value

she was now on being settled at home at leisure to observe the real

state of her sisters spirits jane was not happy she still cherished a

very tender affection for bingley having never even fancied herself

in love before her regard had all the warmth of first attachment

and from her age and disposition greater steadiness than most first

attachments often boast and so fervently did she value his remembrance

and prefer him to every other man that all her good sense and all her

attention to the feelings of her friends were requisite to check the

indulgence of those regrets which must have been injurious to her own

health and their tranquillity

well lizzy said mrs bennet one day what is your opinion now of

this sad business of janes for my part i am determined never to speak

of it again to anybody i told my sister phillips so the other day but

i cannot find out that jane saw anything of him in london well he is

a very undeserving young manand i do not suppose theres the least

chance in the world of her ever getting him now there is no talk of

his coming to netherfield again in the summer and i have inquired of

everybody too who is likely to know

i do not believe he will ever live at netherfield any more

oh well it is just as he chooses nobody wants him to come though i

shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill and if i was her i

would not have put up with it well my comfort is i am sure jane will

die of a broken heart and then he will be sorry for what he has done

but as elizabeth could not receive comfort from any such expectation

she made no answer

well lizzy continued her mother soon afterwards and so the

collinses live very comfortable do they well well i only hope

it will last and what sort of table do they keep charlotte is an

excellent manager i dare say if she is half as sharp as her

mother she is saving enough there is nothing extravagant in their

housekeeping i dare say

no nothing at all

a great deal of good management depend upon it yes yes they will

take care not to outrun their income they will never be distressed

for money well much good may it do them and so i suppose they often

talk of having longbourn when your father is dead they look upon it as

quite their own i dare say whenever that happens

it was a subject which they could not mention before me

no it would have been strange if they had but i make no doubt they

often talk of it between themselves well if they can be easy with an

estate that is not lawfully their own so much the better i should be

ashamed of having one that was only entailed on me

chapter 

the first week of their return was soon gone the second began it was

the last of the regiments stay in meryton and all the young ladies

in the neighbourhood were drooping apace the dejection was almost

universal the elder miss bennets alone were still able to eat drink

and sleep and pursue the usual course of their employments very

frequently were they reproached for this insensibility by kitty and

lydia whose own misery was extreme and who could not comprehend such

hardheartedness in any of the family

good heaven what is to become of us what are we to do would they

often exclaim in the bitterness of woe how can you be smiling so

lizzy

their affectionate mother shared all their grief she remembered what

she had herself endured on a similar occasion fiveandtwenty years

ago

i am sure said she i cried for two days together when colonel

millers regiment went away i thought i should have broken my heart

i am sure i shall break mine said lydia

if one could but go to brighton observed mrs bennet

oh yesif one could but go to brighton but papa is so

disagreeable

a little seabathing would set me up forever

and my aunt phillips is sure it would do me a great deal of good

added kitty

such were the kind of lamentations resounding perpetually through

longbourn house elizabeth tried to be diverted by them but all sense

of pleasure was lost in shame she felt anew the justice of mr darcys

objections and never had she been so much disposed to pardon his

interference in the views of his friend

but the gloom of lydias prospect was shortly cleared away for she

received an invitation from mrs forster the wife of the colonel of

the regiment to accompany her to brighton this invaluable friend was a

very young woman and very lately married a resemblance in good humour

and good spirits had recommended her and lydia to each other and out of

their three months acquaintance they had been intimate two

the rapture of lydia on this occasion her adoration of mrs forster

the delight of mrs bennet and the mortification of kitty are scarcely

to be described wholly inattentive to her sisters feelings lydia

flew about the house in restless ecstasy calling for everyones

congratulations and laughing and talking with more violence than ever

whilst the luckless kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate

in terms as unreasonable as her accent was peevish

i cannot see why mrs forster should not ask me as well as lydia

said she though i am not her particular friend i have just as much

right to be asked as she has and more too for i am two years older

in vain did elizabeth attempt to make her reasonable and jane to make

her resigned as for elizabeth herself this invitation was so far from

exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and lydia that she

considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense

for the latter and detestable as such a step must make her were it

known she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her

go she represented to him all the improprieties of lydias general

behaviour the little advantage she could derive from the friendship of

such a woman as mrs forster and the probability of her being yet more

imprudent with such a companion at brighton where the temptations must

be greater than at home he heard her attentively and then said

lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public

place or other and we can never expect her to do it with so

little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present

circumstances

if you were aware said elizabeth of the very great disadvantage to

us all which must arise from the public notice of lydias unguarded and

imprudent mannernay which has already arisen from it i am sure you

would judge differently in the affair

already arisen repeated mr bennet what has she frightened away

some of your lovers poor little lizzy but do not be cast down such

squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity

are not worth a regret come let me see the list of pitiful fellows who

have been kept aloof by lydias folly

indeed you are mistaken i have no such injuries to resent it is not

of particular but of general evils which i am now complaining our

importance our respectability in the world must be affected by the

wild volatility the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark

lydias character excuse me for i must speak plainly if you my dear

father will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits and

of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of

her life she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment her character

will be fixed and she will at sixteen be the most determined flirt

that ever made herself or her family ridiculous a flirt too in the

worst and meanest degree of flirtation without any attraction beyond

youth and a tolerable person and from the ignorance and emptiness

of her mind wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal

contempt which her rage for admiration will excite in this danger

kitty also is comprehended she will follow wherever lydia leads vain

ignorant idle and absolutely uncontrolled oh my dear father can you

suppose it possible that they will not be censured and despised wherever

they are known and that their sisters will not be often involved in the

disgrace

mr bennet saw that her whole heart was in the subject and

affectionately taking her hand said in reply

do not make yourself uneasy my love wherever you and jane are known

you must be respected and valued and you will not appear to less

advantage for having a couple ofor i may say threevery silly

sisters we shall have no peace at longbourn if lydia does not go to

brighton let her go then colonel forster is a sensible man and will

keep her out of any real mischief and she is luckily too poor to be an

object of prey to anybody at brighton she will be of less importance

even as a common flirt than she has been here the officers will find

women better worth their notice let us hope therefore that her being

there may teach her her own insignificance at any rate she cannot grow

many degrees worse without authorising us to lock her up for the rest

of her life

with this answer elizabeth was forced to be content but her own opinion

continued the same and she left him disappointed and sorry it was not

in her nature however to increase her vexations by dwelling on

them she was confident of having performed her duty and to fret

over unavoidable evils or augment them by anxiety was no part of her

disposition

had lydia and her mother known the substance of her conference with her

father their indignation would hardly have found expression in their

united volubility in lydias imagination a visit to brighton comprised

every possibility of earthly happiness she saw with the creative eye

of fancy the streets of that gay bathingplace covered with officers

she saw herself the object of attention to tens and to scores of them

at present unknown she saw all the glories of the campits tents

stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines crowded with the young

and the gay and dazzling with scarlet and to complete the view she

saw herself seated beneath a tent tenderly flirting with at least six

officers at once

had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such

realities as these what would have been her sensations they could have

been understood only by her mother who might have felt nearly the same

lydias going to brighton was all that consoled her for her melancholy

conviction of her husbands never intending to go there himself

but they were entirely ignorant of what had passed and their raptures

continued with little intermission to the very day of lydias leaving

home

elizabeth was now to see mr wickham for the last time having been

frequently in company with him since her return agitation was pretty

well over the agitations of former partiality entirely so she had even

learnt to detect in the very gentleness which had first delighted

her an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary in his present

behaviour to herself moreover she had a fresh source of displeasure

for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which

had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve after

what had since passed to provoke her she lost all concern for him in

finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous

gallantry and while she steadily repressed it could not but feel the

reproof contained in his believing that however long and for whatever

cause his attentions had been withdrawn her vanity would be gratified

and her preference secured at any time by their renewal

on the very last day of the regiments remaining at meryton he dined

with other of the officers at longbourn and so little was elizabeth

disposed to part from him in good humour that on his making some

inquiry as to the manner in which her time had passed at hunsford she

mentioned colonel fitzwilliams and mr darcys having both spent three

weeks at rosings and asked him if he was acquainted with the former

he looked surprised displeased alarmed but with a moments

recollection and a returning smile replied that he had formerly seen

him often and after observing that he was a very gentlemanlike man

asked her how she had liked him her answer was warmly in his favour

with an air of indifference he soon afterwards added

how long did you say he was at rosings

nearly three weeks

and you saw him frequently

yes almost every day

his manners are very different from his cousins

yes very different but i think mr darcy improves upon acquaintance

indeed cried mr wickham with a look which did not escape her and

pray may i ask but checking himself he added in a gayer tone is

it in address that he improves has he deigned to add aught of civility

to his ordinary stylefor i dare not hope he continued in a lower

and more serious tone that he is improved in essentials

oh no said elizabeth in essentials i believe he is very much

what he ever was

while she spoke wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to

rejoice over her words or to distrust their meaning there was a

something in her countenance which made him listen with an apprehensive

and anxious attention while she added

when i said that he improved on acquaintance i did not mean that

his mind or his manners were in a state of improvement but that from

knowing him better his disposition was better understood

wickhams alarm now appeared in a heightened complexion and agitated

look for a few minutes he was silent till shaking off his

embarrassment he turned to her again and said in the gentlest of

accents

you who so well know my feeling towards mr darcy will readily

comprehend how sincerely i must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume

even the appearance of what is right his pride in that direction

may be of service if not to himself to many others for it must only

deter him from such foul misconduct as i have suffered by i only

fear that the sort of cautiousness to which you i imagine have been

alluding is merely adopted on his visits to his aunt of whose good

opinion and judgement he stands much in awe his fear of her has always

operated i know when they were together and a good deal is to be

imputed to his wish of forwarding the match with miss de bourgh which i

am certain he has very much at heart

elizabeth could not repress a smile at this but she answered only by a

slight inclination of the head she saw that he wanted to engage her on

the old subject of his grievances and she was in no humour to indulge

him the rest of the evening passed with the appearance on his

side of usual cheerfulness but with no further attempt to distinguish

elizabeth and they parted at last with mutual civility and possibly a

mutual desire of never meeting again

when the party broke up lydia returned with mrs forster to meryton

from whence they were to set out early the next morning the separation

between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic kitty was the

only one who shed tears but she did weep from vexation and envy mrs

bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter

and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the

opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possibleadvice which

there was every reason to believe would be well attended to and in

the clamorous happiness of lydia herself in bidding farewell the more

gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard

chapter 

had elizabeths opinion been all drawn from her own family she could

not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic

comfort her father captivated by youth and beauty and that appearance

of good humour which youth and beauty generally give had married a

woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in

their marriage put an end to all real affection for her respect

esteem and confidence had vanished for ever and all his views

of domestic happiness were overthrown but mr bennet was not of

a disposition to seek comfort for the disappointment which his own

imprudence had brought on in any of those pleasures which too often

console the unfortunate for their folly or their vice he was fond of

the country and of books and from these tastes had arisen his principal

enjoyments to his wife he was very little otherwise indebted than as

her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement this is not

the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his

wife but where other powers of entertainment are wanting the true

philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given

elizabeth however had never been blind to the impropriety of her

fathers behaviour as a husband she had always seen it with pain but

respecting his abilities and grateful for his affectionate treatment of

herself she endeavoured to forget what she could not overlook and to

banish from her thoughts that continual breach of conjugal obligation

and decorum which in exposing his wife to the contempt of her own

children was so highly reprehensible but she had never felt so

strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so

unsuitable a marriage nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising

from so illjudged a direction of talents talents which rightly used

might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters even

if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife

when elizabeth had rejoiced over wickhams departure she found little

other cause for satisfaction in the loss of the regiment their parties

abroad were less varied than before and at home she had a mother and

sister whose constant repinings at the dullness of everything around

them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle and though kitty

might in time regain her natural degree of sense since the disturbers

of her brain were removed her other sister from whose disposition

greater evil might be apprehended was likely to be hardened in all

her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a

wateringplace and a camp upon the whole therefore she found what

has been sometimes found before that an event to which she had been

looking with impatient desire did not in taking place bring all the

satisfaction she had promised herself it was consequently necessary to

name some other period for the commencement of actual felicityto have

some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed and by

again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation console herself for the

present and prepare for another disappointment her tour to the lakes

was now the object of her happiest thoughts it was her best consolation

for all the uncomfortable hours which the discontentedness of her mother

and kitty made inevitable and could she have included jane in the

scheme every part of it would have been perfect

but it is fortunate thought she that i have something to wish for

were the whole arrangement complete my disappointment would be certain

but here by carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my

sisters absence i may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of

pleasure realised a scheme of which every part promises delight can

never be successful and general disappointment is only warded off by

the defence of some little peculiar vexation

when lydia went away she promised to write very often and very minutely

to her mother and kitty but her letters were always long expected and

always very short those to her mother contained little else than that

they were just returned from the library where such and such officers

had attended them and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as

made her quite wild that she had a new gown or a new parasol which

she would have described more fully but was obliged to leave off in a

violent hurry as mrs forster called her and they were going off to

the camp and from her correspondence with her sister there was still

less to be learntfor her letters to kitty though rather longer were

much too full of lines under the words to be made public

after the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence health good

humour and cheerfulness began to reappear at longbourn everything wore

a happier aspect the families who had been in town for the winter came

back again and summer finery and summer engagements arose mrs bennet

was restored to her usual querulous serenity and by the middle of

june kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter meryton without

tears an event of such happy promise as to make elizabeth hope that by

the following christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to

mention an officer above once a day unless by some cruel and malicious

arrangement at the war office another regiment should be quartered in

meryton

the time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast

approaching and a fortnight only was wanting of it when a letter

arrived from mrs gardiner which at once delayed its commencement and

curtailed its extent mr gardiner would be prevented by business from

setting out till a fortnight later in july and must be in london again

within a month and as that left too short a period for them to go so

far and see so much as they had proposed or at least to see it with

the leisure and comfort they had built on they were obliged to give up

the lakes and substitute a more contracted tour and according to the

present plan were to go no farther northwards than derbyshire in that

county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three

weeks and to mrs gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction the

town where she had formerly passed some years of her life and where

they were now to spend a few days was probably as great an object of

her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of matlock chatsworth

dovedale or the peak

elizabeth was excessively disappointed she had set her heart on seeing

the lakes and still thought there might have been time enough but it

was her business to be satisfiedand certainly her temper to be happy

and all was soon right again

with the mention of derbyshire there were many ideas connected it was

impossible for her to see the word without thinking of pemberley and its

owner but surely said she i may enter his county with impunity

and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me

the period of expectation was now doubled four weeks were to pass away

before her uncle and aunts arrival but they did pass away and mr

and mrs gardiner with their four children did at length appear at

longbourn the children two girls of six and eight years old and two

younger boys were to be left under the particular care of their

cousin jane who was the general favourite and whose steady sense and

sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every

wayteaching them playing with them and loving them

the gardiners stayed only one night at longbourn and set off the

next morning with elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement

one enjoyment was certainthat of suitableness of companions

a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear

inconveniencescheerfulness to enhance every pleasureand affection

and intelligence which might supply it among themselves if there were

disappointments abroad

it is not the object of this work to give a description of derbyshire

nor of any of the remarkable places through which their route thither

lay oxford blenheim warwick kenilworth birmingham etc are

sufficiently known a small part of derbyshire is all the present

concern to the little town of lambton the scene of mrs gardiners

former residence and where she had lately learned some acquaintance

still remained they bent their steps after having seen all the

principal wonders of the country and within five miles of lambton

elizabeth found from her aunt that pemberley was situated it was not

in their direct road nor more than a mile or two out of it in

talking over their route the evening before mrs gardiner expressed

an inclination to see the place again mr gardiner declared his

willingness and elizabeth was applied to for her approbation

my love should not you like to see a place of which you have heard

so much said her aunt a place too with which so many of your

acquaintances are connected wickham passed all his youth there you

know

elizabeth was distressed she felt that she had no business at

pemberley and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it she

must own that she was tired of seeing great houses after going over so

many she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains

mrs gardiner abused her stupidity if it were merely a fine house

richly furnished said she i should not care about it myself but

the grounds are delightful they have some of the finest woods in the

country

elizabeth said no morebut her mind could not acquiesce the

possibility of meeting mr darcy while viewing the place instantly

occurred it would be dreadful she blushed at the very idea and

thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such

a risk but against this there were objections and she finally resolved

that it could be the last resource if her private inquiries to the

absence of the family were unfavourably answered

accordingly when she retired at night she asked the chambermaid

whether pemberley were not a very fine place what was the name of its

proprietor and with no little alarm whether the family were down for

the summer a most welcome negative followed the last questionand her

alarms now being removed she was at leisure to feel a great deal of

curiosity to see the house herself and when the subject was revived the

next morning and she was again applied to could readily answer and

with a proper air of indifference that she had not really any dislike

to the scheme to pemberley therefore they were to go

chapter 

elizabeth as they drove along watched for the first appearance of

pemberley woods with some perturbation and when at length they turned

in at the lodge her spirits were in a high flutter

the park was very large and contained great variety of ground they

entered it in one of its lowest points and drove for some time through

a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent

elizabeths mind was too full for conversation but she saw and admired

every remarkable spot and point of view they gradually ascended for

halfamile and then found themselves at the top of a considerable

eminence where the wood ceased and the eye was instantly caught by

pemberley house situated on the opposite side of a valley into which

the road with some abruptness wound it was a large handsome stone

building standing well on rising ground and backed by a ridge of

high woody hills and in front a stream of some natural importance was

swelled into greater but without any artificial appearance its banks

were neither formal nor falsely adorned elizabeth was delighted she

had never seen a place for which nature had done more or where natural

beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste they were

all of them warm in their admiration and at that moment she felt that

to be mistress of pemberley might be something

they descended the hill crossed the bridge and drove to the door and

while examining the nearer aspect of the house all her apprehension of

meeting its owner returned she dreaded lest the chambermaid had been

mistaken on applying to see the place they were admitted into the

hall and elizabeth as they waited for the housekeeper had leisure to

wonder at her being where she was

the housekeeper came a respectablelooking elderly woman much less

fine and more civil than she had any notion of finding her they

followed her into the diningparlour it was a large well proportioned

room handsomely fitted up elizabeth after slightly surveying it went

to a window to enjoy its prospect the hill crowned with wood which

they had descended receiving increased abruptness from the distance

was a beautiful object every disposition of the ground was good and

she looked on the whole scene the river the trees scattered on its

banks and the winding of the valley as far as she could trace it

with delight as they passed into other rooms these objects were taking

different positions but from every window there were beauties to be

seen the rooms were lofty and handsome and their furniture suitable to

the fortune of its proprietor but elizabeth saw with admiration of

his taste that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine with less of

splendour and more real elegance than the furniture of rosings

and of this place thought she i might have been mistress with

these rooms i might now have been familiarly acquainted instead of

viewing them as a stranger i might have rejoiced in them as my own and

welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt but norecollecting

herselfthat could never be my uncle and aunt would have been lost to

me i should not have been allowed to invite them

this was a lucky recollectionit saved her from something very like

regret

she longed to inquire of the housekeeper whether her master was really

absent but had not the courage for it at length however the question

was asked by her uncle and she turned away with alarm while mrs

reynolds replied that he was adding but we expect him tomorrow with

a large party of friends how rejoiced was elizabeth that their own

journey had not by any circumstance been delayed a day

her aunt now called her to look at a picture she approached and saw the

likeness of mr wickham suspended amongst several other miniatures

over the mantelpiece her aunt asked her smilingly how she liked it

the housekeeper came forward and told them it was a picture of a young

gentleman the son of her late masters steward who had been brought

up by him at his own expense he is now gone into the army she added

but i am afraid he has turned out very wild

mrs gardiner looked at her niece with a smile but elizabeth could not

return it

and that said mrs reynolds pointing to another of the miniatures

is my masterand very like him it was drawn at the same time as the

otherabout eight years ago

i have heard much of your masters fine person said mrs gardiner

looking at the picture it is a handsome face but lizzy you can tell

us whether it is like or not

mrs reynolds respect for elizabeth seemed to increase on this

intimation of her knowing her master

does that young lady know mr darcy

elizabeth coloured and said a little

and do not you think him a very handsome gentleman maam

yes very handsome

i am sure i know none so handsome but in the gallery up stairs you

will see a finer larger picture of him than this this room was my late

masters favourite room and these miniatures are just as they used to

be then he was very fond of them

this accounted to elizabeth for mr wickhams being among them

mrs reynolds then directed their attention to one of miss darcy drawn

when she was only eight years old

and is miss darcy as handsome as her brother said mrs gardiner

oh yesthe handsomest young lady that ever was seen and so

accomplishedshe plays and sings all day long in the next room is

a new instrument just come down for hera present from my master she

comes here tomorrow with him

mr gardiner whose manners were very easy and pleasant encouraged her

communicativeness by his questions and remarks mrs reynolds either

by pride or attachment had evidently great pleasure in talking of her

master and his sister

is your master much at pemberley in the course of the year

not so much as i could wish sir but i dare say he may spend half his

time here and miss darcy is always down for the summer months

except thought elizabeth when she goes to ramsgate

if your master would marry you might see more of him

yes sir but i do not know when that will be i do not know who is

good enough for him

mr and mrs gardiner smiled elizabeth could not help saying it is

very much to his credit i am sure that you should think so

i say no more than the truth and everybody will say that knows him

replied the other elizabeth thought this was going pretty far and she

listened with increasing astonishment as the housekeeper added i have

never known a cross word from him in my life and i have known him ever

since he was four years old

this was praise of all others most extraordinary most opposite to her

ideas that he was not a goodtempered man had been her firmest opinion

her keenest attention was awakened she longed to hear more and was

grateful to her uncle for saying

there are very few people of whom so much can be said you are lucky in

having such a master

yes sir i know i am if i were to go through the world i could

not meet with a better but i have always observed that they who are

goodnatured when children are goodnatured when they grow up and

he was always the sweetesttempered most generoushearted boy in the

world

elizabeth almost stared at her can this be mr darcy thought she

his father was an excellent man said mrs gardiner

yes maam that he was indeed and his son will be just like himjust

as affable to the poor

elizabeth listened wondered doubted and was impatient for more mrs

reynolds could interest her on no other point she related the subjects

of the pictures the dimensions of the rooms and the price of the

furniture in vain mr gardiner highly amused by the kind of family

prejudice to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her

master soon led again to the subject and she dwelt with energy on his

many merits as they proceeded together up the great staircase

he is the best landlord and the best master said she that ever

lived not like the wild young men nowadays who think of nothing but

themselves there is not one of his tenants or servants but will give

him a good name some people call him proud but i am sure i never saw

anything of it to my fancy it is only because he does not rattle away

like other young men

in what an amiable light does this place him thought elizabeth

this fine account of him whispered her aunt as they walked is not

quite consistent with his behaviour to our poor friend

perhaps we might be deceived

that is not very likely our authority was too good

on reaching the spacious lobby above they were shown into a very pretty

sittingroom lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than

the apartments below and were informed that it was but just done to

give pleasure to miss darcy who had taken a liking to the room when

last at pemberley

he is certainly a good brother said elizabeth as she walked towards

one of the windows

mrs reynolds anticipated miss darcys delight when she should enter

the room and this is always the way with him she added whatever

can give his sister any pleasure is sure to be done in a moment there

is nothing he would not do for her

the picturegallery and two or three of the principal bedrooms were

all that remained to be shown in the former were many good paintings

but elizabeth knew nothing of the art and from such as had been already

visible below she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of miss

darcys in crayons whose subjects were usually more interesting and

also more intelligible

in the gallery there were many family portraits but they could have

little to fix the attention of a stranger elizabeth walked in quest of

the only face whose features would be known to her at last it arrested

herand she beheld a striking resemblance to mr darcy with such a

smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he

looked at her she stood several minutes before the picture in earnest

contemplation and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery

mrs reynolds informed them that it had been taken in his fathers

lifetime

there was certainly at this moment in elizabeths mind a more gentle

sensation towards the original than she had ever felt at the height of

their acquaintance the commendation bestowed on him by mrs reynolds

was of no trifling nature what praise is more valuable than the praise

of an intelligent servant as a brother a landlord a master she

considered how many peoples happiness were in his guardianshiphow

much of pleasure or pain was it in his power to bestowhow much of

good or evil must be done by him every idea that had been brought

forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character and as she

stood before the canvas on which he was represented and fixed his

eyes upon herself she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of

gratitude than it had ever raised before she remembered its warmth and

softened its impropriety of expression

when all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen

they returned downstairs and taking leave of the housekeeper were

consigned over to the gardener who met them at the halldoor

as they walked across the hall towards the river elizabeth turned back

to look again her uncle and aunt stopped also and while the former

was conjecturing as to the date of the building the owner of it himself

suddenly came forward from the road which led behind it to the stables

they were within twenty yards of each other and so abrupt was his

appearance that it was impossible to avoid his sight their eyes

instantly met and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest

blush he absolutely started and for a moment seemed immovable from

surprise but shortly recovering himself advanced towards the party

and spoke to elizabeth if not in terms of perfect composure at least

of perfect civility

she had instinctively turned away but stopping on his approach

received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be

overcome had his first appearance or his resemblance to the picture

they had just been examining been insufficient to assure the other two

that they now saw mr darcy the gardeners expression of surprise on

beholding his master must immediately have told it they stood a little

aloof while he was talking to their niece who astonished and confused

scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face and knew not what answer

she returned to his civil inquiries after her family amazed at the

alteration of his manner since they last parted every sentence that

he uttered was increasing her embarrassment and every idea of the

impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind the few

minutes in which they continued were some of the most uncomfortable in

her life nor did he seem much more at ease when he spoke his accent

had none of its usual sedateness and he repeated his inquiries as

to the time of her having left longbourn and of her having stayed in

derbyshire so often and in so hurried a way as plainly spoke the

distraction of his thoughts

at length every idea seemed to fail him and after standing a few

moments without saying a word he suddenly recollected himself and took

leave

the others then joined her and expressed admiration of his figure but

elizabeth heard not a word and wholly engrossed by her own feelings

followed them in silence she was overpowered by shame and vexation her

coming there was the most unfortunate the most illjudged thing in the

world how strange it must appear to him in what a disgraceful light

might it not strike so vain a man it might seem as if she had purposely

thrown herself in his way again oh why did she come or why did he

thus come a day before he was expected had they been only ten minutes

sooner they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination

for it was plain that he was that moment arrivedthat moment alighted

from his horse or his carriage she blushed again and again over

the perverseness of the meeting and his behaviour so strikingly

alteredwhat could it mean that he should even speak to her was

amazingbut to speak with such civility to inquire after her family

never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified never

had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting what

a contrast did it offer to his last address in rosings park when he put

his letter into her hand she knew not what to think or how to account

for it

they had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water and

every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground or a finer

reach of the woods to which they were approaching but it was some time

before elizabeth was sensible of any of it and though she answered

mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt and

seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out she

distinguished no part of the scene her thoughts were all fixed on that

one spot of pemberley house whichever it might be where mr darcy then

was she longed to know what at the moment was passing in his mindin

what manner he thought of her and whether in defiance of everything

she was still dear to him perhaps he had been civil only because he

felt himself at ease yet there had been that in his voice which was

not like ease whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in

seeing her she could not tell but he certainly had not seen her with

composure

at length however the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind

aroused her and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself

they entered the woods and bidding adieu to the river for a while

ascended some of the higher grounds when in spots where the opening of

the trees gave the eye power to wander were many charming views of the

valley the opposite hills with the long range of woods overspreading

many and occasionally part of the stream mr gardiner expressed a wish

of going round the whole park but feared it might be beyond a walk

with a triumphant smile they were told that it was ten miles round

it settled the matter and they pursued the accustomed circuit which

brought them again after some time in a descent among hanging woods

to the edge of the water and one of its narrowest parts they crossed

it by a simple bridge in character with the general air of the scene

it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited and the

valley here contracted into a glen allowed room only for the stream

and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppicewood which bordered it

elizabeth longed to explore its windings but when they had crossed the

bridge and perceived their distance from the house mrs gardiner

who was not a great walker could go no farther and thought only

of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible her niece was

therefore obliged to submit and they took their way towards the house

on the opposite side of the river in the nearest direction but their

progress was slow for mr gardiner though seldom able to indulge the

taste was very fond of fishing and was so much engaged in watching the

occasional appearance of some trout in the water and talking to the

man about them that he advanced but little whilst wandering on in this

slow manner they were again surprised and elizabeths astonishment

was quite equal to what it had been at first by the sight of mr darcy

approaching them and at no great distance the walk being here

less sheltered than on the other side allowed them to see him before

they met elizabeth however astonished was at least more prepared

for an interview than before and resolved to appear and to speak with

calmness if he really intended to meet them for a few moments indeed

she felt that he would probably strike into some other path the idea

lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view the

turning past he was immediately before them with a glance she saw

that he had lost none of his recent civility and to imitate his

politeness she began as they met to admire the beauty of the place

but she had not got beyond the words delightful and charming when

some unlucky recollections obtruded and she fancied that praise of

pemberley from her might be mischievously construed her colour changed

and she said no more

mrs gardiner was standing a little behind and on her pausing he asked

her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends

this was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared

and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the

acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had

revolted in his offer to herself what will be his surprise thought

she when he knows who they are he takes them now for people of

fashion

the introduction however was immediately made and as she named their

relationship to herself she stole a sly look at him to see how he bore

it and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he

could from such disgraceful companions that he was surprised by the

connection was evident he sustained it however with fortitude and

so far from going away turned back with them and entered into

conversation with mr gardiner elizabeth could not but be pleased

could not but triumph it was consoling that he should know she had

some relations for whom there was no need to blush she listened most

attentively to all that passed between them and gloried in every

expression every sentence of her uncle which marked his intelligence

his taste or his good manners

the conversation soon turned upon fishing and she heard mr darcy

invite him with the greatest civility to fish there as often as he

chose while he continued in the neighbourhood offering at the same time

to supply him with fishing tackle and pointing out those parts of

the stream where there was usually most sport mrs gardiner who was

walking arminarm with elizabeth gave her a look expressive of wonder

elizabeth said nothing but it gratified her exceedingly the compliment

must be all for herself her astonishment however was extreme and

continually was she repeating why is he so altered from what can

it proceed it cannot be for meit cannot be for my sake that his

manners are thus softened my reproofs at hunsford could not work such a

change as this it is impossible that he should still love me

after walking some time in this way the two ladies in front the two

gentlemen behind on resuming their places after descending to

the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious

waterplant there chanced to be a little alteration it originated

in mrs gardiner who fatigued by the exercise of the morning found

elizabeths arm inadequate to her support and consequently preferred

her husbands mr darcy took her place by her niece and they walked on

together after a short silence the lady first spoke she wished him

to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the

place and accordingly began by observing that his arrival had been

very unexpectedfor your housekeeper she added informed us that

you would certainly not be here till tomorrow and indeed before we

left bakewell we understood that you were not immediately expected

in the country he acknowledged the truth of it all and said that

business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours

before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling they

will join me early tomorrow he continued and among them are some

who will claim an acquaintance with youmr bingley and his sisters

elizabeth answered only by a slight bow her thoughts were instantly

driven back to the time when mr bingleys name had been the last

mentioned between them and if she might judge by his complexion his

mind was not very differently engaged

there is also one other person in the party he continued after a

pause who more particularly wishes to be known to you will you allow

me or do i ask too much to introduce my sister to your acquaintance

during your stay at lambton

the surprise of such an application was great indeed it was too great

for her to know in what manner she acceded to it she immediately felt

that whatever desire miss darcy might have of being acquainted with her

must be the work of her brother and without looking farther it was

satisfactory it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made

him think really ill of her

they now walked on in silence each of them deep in thought elizabeth

was not comfortable that was impossible but she was flattered and

pleased his wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of

the highest kind they soon outstripped the others and when they had

reached the carriage mr and mrs gardiner were half a quarter of a

mile behind

he then asked her to walk into the housebut she declared herself not

tired and they stood together on the lawn at such a time much might

have been said and silence was very awkward she wanted to talk but

there seemed to be an embargo on every subject at last she recollected

that she had been travelling and they talked of matlock and dove dale

with great perseverance yet time and her aunt moved slowlyand her

patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the teteatete was

over on mr and mrs gardiners coming up they were all pressed to go

into the house and take some refreshment but this was declined and

they parted on each side with utmost politeness mr darcy handed the

ladies into the carriage and when it drove off elizabeth saw him

walking slowly towards the house

the observations of her uncle and aunt now began and each of them

pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected

he is perfectly well behaved polite and unassuming said her uncle

there is something a little stately in him to be sure replied her

aunt but it is confined to his air and is not unbecoming i can now

say with the housekeeper that though some people may call him proud i

have seen nothing of it

i was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us it was more

than civil it was really attentive and there was no necessity for such

attention his acquaintance with elizabeth was very trifling

to be sure lizzy said her aunt he is not so handsome as wickham

or rather he has not wickhams countenance for his features

are perfectly good but how came you to tell me that he was so

disagreeable

elizabeth excused herself as well as she could said that she had liked

him better when they had met in kent than before and that she had never

seen him so pleasant as this morning

but perhaps he may be a little whimsical in his civilities replied

her uncle your great men often are and therefore i shall not take him

at his word as he might change his mind another day and warn me off

his grounds

elizabeth felt that they had entirely misunderstood his character but

said nothing

from what we have seen of him continued mrs gardiner i really

should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by

anybody as he has done by poor wickham he has not an illnatured look

on the contrary there is something pleasing about his mouth when he

speaks and there is something of dignity in his countenance that would

not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart but to be sure the

good lady who showed us his house did give him a most flaming character

i could hardly help laughing aloud sometimes but he is a liberal

master i suppose and that in the eye of a servant comprehends every

virtue

elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of

his behaviour to wickham and therefore gave them to understand in

as guarded a manner as she could that by what she had heard from

his relations in kent his actions were capable of a very different

construction and that his character was by no means so faulty nor

wickhams so amiable as they had been considered in hertfordshire in

confirmation of this she related the particulars of all the pecuniary

transactions in which they had been connected without actually naming

her authority but stating it to be such as might be relied on

mrs gardiner was surprised and concerned but as they were now

approaching the scene of her former pleasures every idea gave way to

the charm of recollection and she was too much engaged in pointing out

to her husband all the interesting spots in its environs to think of

anything else fatigued as she had been by the mornings walk they

had no sooner dined than she set off again in quest of her former

acquaintance and the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a

intercourse renewed after many years discontinuance

the occurrences of the day were too full of interest to leave elizabeth

much attention for any of these new friends and she could do nothing

but think and think with wonder of mr darcys civility and above

all of his wishing her to be acquainted with his sister

chapter 

elizabeth had settled it that mr darcy would bring his sister to visit

her the very day after her reaching pemberley and was consequently

resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning

but her conclusion was false for on the very morning after their

arrival at lambton these visitors came they had been walking about the

place with some of their new friends and were just returning to the inn

to dress themselves for dining with the same family when the sound of a

carriage drew them to a window and they saw a gentleman and a lady in

a curricle driving up the street elizabeth immediately recognizing

the livery guessed what it meant and imparted no small degree of her

surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she

expected her uncle and aunt were all amazement and the embarrassment

of her manner as she spoke joined to the circumstance itself and many

of the circumstances of the preceding day opened to them a new idea on

the business nothing had ever suggested it before but they felt that

there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a

quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece while these

newlyborn notions were passing in their heads the perturbation of

elizabeths feelings was at every moment increasing she was quite

amazed at her own discomposure but amongst other causes of disquiet

she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much

in her favour and more than commonly anxious to please she naturally

suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her

she retreated from the window fearful of being seen and as she walked

up and down the room endeavouring to compose herself saw such looks of

inquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse

miss darcy and her brother appeared and this formidable introduction

took place with astonishment did elizabeth see that her new

acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself since her

being at lambton she had heard that miss darcy was exceedingly proud

but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was

only exceedingly shy she found it difficult to obtain even a word from

her beyond a monosyllable

miss darcy was tall and on a larger scale than elizabeth and though

little more than sixteen her figure was formed and her appearance

womanly and graceful she was less handsome than her brother but there

was sense and good humour in her face and her manners were perfectly

unassuming and gentle elizabeth who had expected to find in her as

acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever mr darcy had been was much

relieved by discerning such different feelings

they had not long been together before mr darcy told her that bingley

was also coming to wait on her and she had barely time to express her

satisfaction and prepare for such a visitor when bingleys quick

step was heard on the stairs and in a moment he entered the room all

elizabeths anger against him had been long done away but had she still

felt any it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected

cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again he

inquired in a friendly though general way after her family and looked

and spoke with the same goodhumoured ease that he had ever done

to mr and mrs gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage

than to herself they had long wished to see him the whole party before

them indeed excited a lively attention the suspicions which had just

arisen of mr darcy and their niece directed their observation towards

each with an earnest though guarded inquiry and they soon drew from

those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew

what it was to love of the ladys sensations they remained a little

in doubt but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was

evident enough

elizabeth on her side had much to do she wanted to ascertain the

feelings of each of her visitors she wanted to compose her own and

to make herself agreeable to all and in the latter object where she

feared most to fail she was most sure of success for those to whom she

endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour bingley

was ready georgiana was eager and darcy determined to be pleased

in seeing bingley her thoughts naturally flew to her sister and oh

how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in

a like manner sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on

former occasions and once or twice pleased herself with the notion

that as he looked at her he was trying to trace a resemblance but

though this might be imaginary she could not be deceived as to his

behaviour to miss darcy who had been set up as a rival to jane no look

appeared on either side that spoke particular regard nothing occurred

between them that could justify the hopes of his sister on this point

she was soon satisfied and two or three little circumstances occurred

ere they parted which in her anxious interpretation denoted a

recollection of jane not untinctured by tenderness and a wish of saying

more that might lead to the mention of her had he dared he observed

to her at a moment when the others were talking together and in a tone

which had something of real regret that it was a very long time since

he had had the pleasure of seeing her and before she could reply

he added it is above eight months we have not met since the th of

november when we were all dancing together at netherfield

elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact and he afterwards

took occasion to ask her when unattended to by any of the rest whether

all her sisters were at longbourn there was not much in the question

nor in the preceding remark but there was a look and a manner which

gave them meaning

it was not often that she could turn her eyes on mr darcy himself

but whenever she did catch a glimpse she saw an expression of general

complaisance and in all that he said she heard an accent so removed

from hauteur or disdain of his companions as convinced her that

the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed however

temporary its existence might prove had at least outlived one day when

she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion

of people with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a

disgracewhen she saw him thus civil not only to herself but to the

very relations whom he had openly disdained and recollected their last

lively scene in hunsford parsonagethe difference the change was

so great and struck so forcibly on her mind that she could hardly

restrain her astonishment from being visible never even in the company

of his dear friends at netherfield or his dignified relations

at rosings had she seen him so desirous to please so free from

selfconsequence or unbending reserve as now when no importance

could result from the success of his endeavours and when even the

acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw

down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of netherfield and

rosings

their visitors stayed with them above halfanhour and when they arose

to depart mr darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing

their wish of seeing mr and mrs gardiner and miss bennet to dinner

at pemberley before they left the country miss darcy though with a

diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations

readily obeyed mrs gardiner looked at her niece desirous of knowing

how she whom the invitation most concerned felt disposed as to its

acceptance but elizabeth had turned away her head presuming however

that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment than

any dislike of the proposal and seeing in her husband who was fond of

society a perfect willingness to accept it she ventured to engage for

her attendance and the day after the next was fixed on

bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing elizabeth

again having still a great deal to say to her and many inquiries to

make after all their hertfordshire friends elizabeth construing all

this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister was pleased and on

this account as well as some others found herself when their

visitors left them capable of considering the last halfhour with some

satisfaction though while it was passing the enjoyment of it had been

little eager to be alone and fearful of inquiries or hints from her

uncle and aunt she stayed with them only long enough to hear their

favourable opinion of bingley and then hurried away to dress

but she had no reason to fear mr and mrs gardiners curiosity it was

not their wish to force her communication it was evident that she was

much better acquainted with mr darcy than they had before any idea of

it was evident that he was very much in love with her they saw much to

interest but nothing to justify inquiry

of mr darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well and as far

as their acquaintance reached there was no fault to find they could

not be untouched by his politeness and had they drawn his character

from their own feelings and his servants report without any reference

to any other account the circle in hertfordshire to which he was known

would not have recognized it for mr darcy there was now an interest

however in believing the housekeeper and they soon became sensible

that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four

years old and whose own manners indicated respectability was not to be

hastily rejected neither had anything occurred in the intelligence of

their lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight they had

nothing to accuse him of but pride pride he probably had and if not

it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small markettown

where the family did not visit it was acknowledged however that he

was a liberal man and did much good among the poor

with respect to wickham the travellers soon found that he was not held

there in much estimation for though the chief of his concerns with the

son of his patron were imperfectly understood it was yet a wellknown

fact that on his quitting derbyshire he had left many debts behind

him which mr darcy afterwards discharged

as for elizabeth her thoughts were at pemberley this evening more than

the last and the evening though as it passed it seemed long was not

long enough to determine her feelings towards one in that mansion

and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out she

certainly did not hate him no hatred had vanished long ago and she

had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him

that could be so called the respect created by the conviction of his

valuable qualities though at first unwillingly admitted had for some

time ceased to be repugnant to her feeling and it was now heightened

into somewhat of a friendlier nature by the testimony so highly in

his favour and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light

which yesterday had produced but above all above respect and esteem

there was a motive within her of goodwill which could not be overlooked

it was gratitude gratitude not merely for having once loved her

but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and

acrimony of her manner in rejecting him and all the unjust accusations

accompanying her rejection he who she had been persuaded would avoid

her as his greatest enemy seemed on this accidental meeting most

eager to preserve the acquaintance and without any indelicate display

of regard or any peculiarity of manner where their two selves only

were concerned was soliciting the good opinion of her friends and bent

on making her known to his sister such a change in a man of so much

pride exciting not only astonishment but gratitudefor to love ardent

love it must be attributed and as such its impression on her was of a

sort to be encouraged as by no means unpleasing though it could not be

exactly defined she respected she esteemed she was grateful to him

she felt a real interest in his welfare and she only wanted to know how

far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself and how far it would

be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power which her

fancy told her she still possessed of bringing on her the renewal of

his addresses

it had been settled in the evening between the aunt and the niece that

such a striking civility as miss darcys in coming to see them on the

very day of her arrival at pemberley for she had reached it only to a

late breakfast ought to be imitated though it could not be equalled

by some exertion of politeness on their side and consequently that

it would be highly expedient to wait on her at pemberley the following

morning they were therefore to go elizabeth was pleased though when

she asked herself the reason she had very little to say in reply

mr gardiner left them soon after breakfast the fishing scheme had been

renewed the day before and a positive engagement made of his meeting

some of the gentlemen at pemberley before noon

chapter 

convinced as elizabeth now was that miss bingleys dislike of her had

originated in jealousy she could not help feeling how unwelcome her

appearance at pemberley must be to her and was curious to know with how

much civility on that ladys side the acquaintance would now be renewed

on reaching the house they were shown through the hall into the saloon

whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer its windows

opening to the ground admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody

hills behind the house and of the beautiful oaks and spanish chestnuts

which were scattered over the intermediate lawn

in this house they were received by miss darcy who was sitting there

with mrs hurst and miss bingley and the lady with whom she lived in

london georgianas reception of them was very civil but attended with

all the embarrassment which though proceeding from shyness and the fear

of doing wrong would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior

the belief of her being proud and reserved mrs gardiner and her niece

however did her justice and pitied her

by mrs hurst and miss bingley they were noticed only by a curtsey and

on their being seated a pause awkward as such pauses must always be

succeeded for a few moments it was first broken by mrs annesley a

genteel agreeablelooking woman whose endeavour to introduce some kind

of discourse proved her to be more truly wellbred than either of the

others and between her and mrs gardiner with occasional help from

elizabeth the conversation was carried on miss darcy looked as if she

wished for courage enough to join in it and sometimes did venture a

short sentence when there was least danger of its being heard

elizabeth soon saw that she was herself closely watched by miss bingley

and that she could not speak a word especially to miss darcy without

calling her attention this observation would not have prevented her

from trying to talk to the latter had they not been seated at an

inconvenient distance but she was not sorry to be spared the necessity

of saying much her own thoughts were employing her she expected every

moment that some of the gentlemen would enter the room she wished she

feared that the master of the house might be amongst them and whether

she wished or feared it most she could scarcely determine after

sitting in this manner a quarter of an hour without hearing miss

bingleys voice elizabeth was roused by receiving from her a cold

inquiry after the health of her family she answered with equal

indifference and brevity and the other said no more

the next variation which their visit afforded was produced by the

entrance of servants with cold meat cake and a variety of all the

finest fruits in season but this did not take place till after many

a significant look and smile from mrs annesley to miss darcy had been

given to remind her of her post there was now employment for the whole

partyfor though they could not all talk they could all eat and the

beautiful pyramids of grapes nectarines and peaches soon collected

them round the table

while thus engaged elizabeth had a fair opportunity of deciding whether

she most feared or wished for the appearance of mr darcy by the

feelings which prevailed on his entering the room and then though but

a moment before she had believed her wishes to predominate she began to

regret that he came

he had been some time with mr gardiner who with two or three other

gentlemen from the house was engaged by the river and had left him

only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to

georgiana that morning no sooner did he appear than elizabeth wisely

resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed a resolution the more

necessary to be made but perhaps not the more easily kept because she

saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them

and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour

when he first came into the room in no countenance was attentive

curiosity so strongly marked as in miss bingleys in spite of the

smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its

objects for jealousy had not yet made her desperate and her attentions

to mr darcy were by no means over miss darcy on her brothers

entrance exerted herself much more to talk and elizabeth saw that he

was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted and forwarded

as much as possible every attempt at conversation on either side miss

bingley saw all this likewise and in the imprudence of anger took the

first opportunity of saying with sneering civility

pray miss eliza are not the shire militia removed from meryton

they must be a great loss to your family

in darcys presence she dared not mention wickhams name but elizabeth

instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts and the

various recollections connected with him gave her a moments distress

but exerting herself vigorously to repel the illnatured attack she

presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone while

she spoke an involuntary glance showed her darcy with a heightened

complexion earnestly looking at her and his sister overcome with

confusion and unable to lift up her eyes had miss bingley known what

pain she was then giving her beloved friend she undoubtedly would

have refrained from the hint but she had merely intended to discompose

elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed

her partial to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in

darcys opinion and perhaps to remind the latter of all the follies

and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected

with that corps not a syllable had ever reached her of miss darcys

meditated elopement to no creature had it been revealed where secrecy

was possible except to elizabeth and from all bingleys connections

her brother was particularly anxious to conceal it from the very

wish which elizabeth had long ago attributed to him of their becoming

hereafter her own he had certainly formed such a plan and without

meaning that it should affect his endeavour to separate him from miss

bennet it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern

for the welfare of his friend

elizabeths collected behaviour however soon quieted his emotion and

as miss bingley vexed and disappointed dared not approach nearer to

wickham georgiana also recovered in time though not enough to be able

to speak any more her brother whose eye she feared to meet scarcely

recollected her interest in the affair and the very circumstance which

had been designed to turn his thoughts from elizabeth seemed to have

fixed them on her more and more cheerfully

their visit did not continue long after the question and answer above

mentioned and while mr darcy was attending them to their carriage miss

bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on elizabeths person

behaviour and dress but georgiana would not join her her brothers

recommendation was enough to ensure her favour his judgement could not

err and he had spoken in such terms of elizabeth as to leave georgiana

without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable when

darcy returned to the saloon miss bingley could not help repeating to

him some part of what she had been saying to his sister

how very ill miss eliza bennet looks this morning mr darcy she

cried i never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is since

the winter she is grown so brown and coarse louisa and i were agreeing

that we should not have known her again

however little mr darcy might have liked such an address he contented

himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than

her being rather tanned no miraculous consequence of travelling in the

summer

for my own part she rejoined i must confess that i never could

see any beauty in her her face is too thin her complexion has no

brilliancy and her features are not at all handsome her nose

wants characterthere is nothing marked in its lines her teeth are

tolerable but not out of the common way and as for her eyes

which have sometimes been called so fine i could never see anything

extraordinary in them they have a sharp shrewish look which i do

not like at all and in her air altogether there is a selfsufficiency

without fashion which is intolerable

persuaded as miss bingley was that darcy admired elizabeth this was not

the best method of recommending herself but angry people are not always

wise and in seeing him at last look somewhat nettled she had all the

success she expected he was resolutely silent however and from a

determination of making him speak she continued

i remember when we first knew her in hertfordshire how amazed we all

were to find that she was a reputed beauty and i particularly recollect

your saying one night after they had been dining at netherfield she

a beautyi should as soon call her mother a wit but afterwards she

seemed to improve on you and i believe you thought her rather pretty at

one time

yes replied darcy who could contain himself no longer but that

was only when i first saw her for it is many months since i have

considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance

he then went away and miss bingley was left to all the satisfaction of

having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself

mrs gardiner and elizabeth talked of all that had occurred during their

visit as they returned except what had particularly interested them

both the look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed

except of the person who had mostly engaged their attention they talked

of his sister his friends his house his fruitof everything but

himself yet elizabeth was longing to know what mrs gardiner thought of

him and mrs gardiner would have been highly gratified by her nieces

beginning the subject

chapter 

elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from

jane on their first arrival at lambton and this disappointment had been

renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there but

on the third her repining was over and her sister justified by the

receipt of two letters from her at once on one of which was marked that

it had been missent elsewhere elizabeth was not surprised at it as

jane had written the direction remarkably ill

they had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in and

her uncle and aunt leaving her to enjoy them in quiet set off by

themselves the one missent must first be attended to it had been

written five days ago the beginning contained an account of all their

little parties and engagements with such news as the country afforded

but the latter half which was dated a day later and written in evident

agitation gave more important intelligence it was to this effect

since writing the above dearest lizzy something has occurred of a

most unexpected and serious nature but i am afraid of alarming yoube

assured that we are all well what i have to say relates to poor lydia

an express came at twelve last night just as we were all gone to bed

from colonel forster to inform us that she was gone off to scotland

with one of his officers to own the truth with wickham imagine our

surprise to kitty however it does not seem so wholly unexpected i am

very very sorry so imprudent a match on both sides but i am willing

to hope the best and that his character has been misunderstood

thoughtless and indiscreet i can easily believe him but this step

and let us rejoice over it marks nothing bad at heart his choice is

disinterested at least for he must know my father can give her nothing

our poor mother is sadly grieved my father bears it better how

thankful am i that we never let them know what has been said against

him we must forget it ourselves they were off saturday night about

twelve as is conjectured but were not missed till yesterday morning at

eight the express was sent off directly my dear lizzy they must have

passed within ten miles of us colonel forster gives us reason to expect

him here soon lydia left a few lines for his wife informing her of

their intention i must conclude for i cannot be long from my poor

mother i am afraid you will not be able to make it out but i hardly

know what i have written

without allowing herself time for consideration and scarcely knowing

what she felt elizabeth on finishing this letter instantly seized the

other and opening it with the utmost impatience read as follows it

had been written a day later than the conclusion of the first

by this time my dearest sister you have received my hurried letter i

wish this may be more intelligible but though not confined for time my

head is so bewildered that i cannot answer for being coherent dearest

lizzy i hardly know what i would write but i have bad news for you

and it cannot be delayed imprudent as the marriage between mr wickham

and our poor lydia would be we are now anxious to be assured it has

taken place for there is but too much reason to fear they are not gone

to scotland colonel forster came yesterday having left brighton the

day before not many hours after the express though lydias short

letter to mrs f gave them to understand that they were going to gretna

green something was dropped by denny expressing his belief that w

never intended to go there or to marry lydia at all which was

repeated to colonel f who instantly taking the alarm set off from b

intending to trace their route he did trace them easily to clapham

but no further for on entering that place they removed into a hackney

coach and dismissed the chaise that brought them from epsom all that

is known after this is that they were seen to continue the london road

i know not what to think after making every possible inquiry on that

side london colonel f came on into hertfordshire anxiously renewing

them at all the turnpikes and at the inns in barnet and hatfield but

without any successno such people had been seen to pass through with

the kindest concern he came on to longbourn and broke his apprehensions

to us in a manner most creditable to his heart i am sincerely grieved

for him and mrs f but no one can throw any blame on them our

distress my dear lizzy is very great my father and mother believe the

worst but i cannot think so ill of him many circumstances might make

it more eligible for them to be married privately in town than to pursue

their first plan and even if he could form such a design against a

young woman of lydias connections which is not likely can i suppose

her so lost to everything impossible i grieve to find however that

colonel f is not disposed to depend upon their marriage he shook his

head when i expressed my hopes and said he feared w was not a man to

be trusted my poor mother is really ill and keeps her room could she

exert herself it would be better but this is not to be expected and

as to my father i never in my life saw him so affected poor kitty has

anger for having concealed their attachment but as it was a matter of

confidence one cannot wonder i am truly glad dearest lizzy that you

have been spared something of these distressing scenes but now as the

first shock is over shall i own that i long for your return i am not

so selfish however as to press for it if inconvenient adieu i

take up my pen again to do what i have just told you i would not but

circumstances are such that i cannot help earnestly begging you all to

come here as soon as possible i know my dear uncle and aunt so well

that i am not afraid of requesting it though i have still something

more to ask of the former my father is going to london with colonel

forster instantly to try to discover her what he means to do i am sure

i know not but his excessive distress will not allow him to pursue any

measure in the best and safest way and colonel forster is obliged to

be at brighton again tomorrow evening in such an exigence my

uncles advice and assistance would be everything in the world he will

immediately comprehend what i must feel and i rely upon his goodness

oh where where is my uncle cried elizabeth darting from her seat

as she finished the letter in eagerness to follow him without losing

a moment of the time so precious but as she reached the door it was

opened by a servant and mr darcy appeared her pale face and impetuous

manner made him start and before he could recover himself to speak

she in whose mind every idea was superseded by lydias situation

hastily exclaimed i beg your pardon but i must leave you i must find

mr gardiner this moment on business that cannot be delayed i have not

an instant to lose

good god what is the matter cried he with more feeling than

politeness then recollecting himself i will not detain you a minute

but let me or let the servant go after mr and mrs gardiner you are

not well enough you cannot go yourself

elizabeth hesitated but her knees trembled under her and she felt how

little would be gained by her attempting to pursue them calling back

the servant therefore she commissioned him though in so breathless

an accent as made her almost unintelligible to fetch his master and

mistress home instantly

on his quitting the room she sat down unable to support herself and

looking so miserably ill that it was impossible for darcy to leave her

or to refrain from saying in a tone of gentleness and commiseration

let me call your maid is there nothing you could take to give you

present relief a glass of wine shall i get you one you are very ill

no i thank you she replied endeavouring to recover herself there

is nothing the matter with me i am quite well i am only distressed by

some dreadful news which i have just received from longbourn

she burst into tears as she alluded to it and for a few minutes could

not speak another word darcy in wretched suspense could only say

something indistinctly of his concern and observe her in compassionate

silence at length she spoke again i have just had a letter from jane

with such dreadful news it cannot be concealed from anyone my younger

sister has left all her friendshas eloped has thrown herself into

the power ofof mr wickham they are gone off together from brighton

you know him too well to doubt the rest she has no money no

connections nothing that can tempt him toshe is lost for ever

darcy was fixed in astonishment when i consider she added in a yet

more agitated voice that i might have prevented it i who knew what

he was had i but explained some part of it onlysome part of what i

learnt to my own family had his character been known this could not

have happened but it is allall too late now

i am grieved indeed cried darcy grievedshocked but is it

certainabsolutely certain

oh yes they left brighton together on sunday night and were traced

almost to london but not beyond they are certainly not gone to

scotland

and what has been done what has been attempted to recover her

my father is gone to london and jane has written to beg my uncles

immediate assistance and we shall be off i hope in halfanhour but

nothing can be donei know very well that nothing can be done how is

such a man to be worked on how are they even to be discovered i have

not the smallest hope it is every way horrible

darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence

when my eyes were opened to his real characteroh had i known what

i ought what i dared to do but i knew noti was afraid of doing too

much wretched wretched mistake

darcy made no answer he seemed scarcely to hear her and was walking

up and down the room in earnest meditation his brow contracted his air

gloomy elizabeth soon observed and instantly understood it her

power was sinking everything must sink under such a proof of family

weakness such an assurance of the deepest disgrace she could neither

wonder nor condemn but the belief of his selfconquest brought nothing

consolatory to her bosom afforded no palliation of her distress it

was on the contrary exactly calculated to make her understand her own

wishes and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved

him as now when all love must be vain

but self though it would intrude could not engross her lydiathe

humiliation the misery she was bringing on them all soon swallowed

up every private care and covering her face with her handkerchief

elizabeth was soon lost to everything else and after a pause of

several minutes was only recalled to a sense of her situation by

the voice of her companion who in a manner which though it spoke

compassion spoke likewise restraint said i am afraid you have been

long desiring my absence nor have i anything to plead in excuse of my

stay but real though unavailing concern would to heaven that anything

could be either said or done on my part that might offer consolation to

such distress but i will not torment you with vain wishes which may

seem purposely to ask for your thanks this unfortunate affair will i

fear prevent my sisters having the pleasure of seeing you at pemberley

today

oh yes be so kind as to apologise for us to miss darcy say that

urgent business calls us home immediately conceal the unhappy truth as

long as it is possible i know it cannot be long

he readily assured her of his secrecy again expressed his sorrow for

her distress wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present

reason to hope and leaving his compliments for her relations with only

one serious parting look went away

as he quitted the room elizabeth felt how improbable it was that they

should ever see each other again on such terms of cordiality as

had marked their several meetings in derbyshire and as she threw a

retrospective glance over the whole of their acquaintance so full

of contradictions and varieties sighed at the perverseness of those

feelings which would now have promoted its continuance and would

formerly have rejoiced in its termination

if gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection elizabeths

change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty but if

otherwiseif regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or

unnatural in comparison of what is so often described as arising on

a first interview with its object and even before two words have been

exchanged nothing can be said in her defence except that she had given

somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for wickham

and that its ill success might perhaps authorise her to seek the other

less interesting mode of attachment be that as it may she saw him

go with regret and in this early example of what lydias infamy must

produce found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched

business never since reading janes second letter had she entertained

a hope of wickhams meaning to marry her no one but jane she thought

could flatter herself with such an expectation surprise was the least

of her feelings on this development while the contents of the first

letter remained in her mind she was all surpriseall astonishment that

wickham should marry a girl whom it was impossible he could marry

for money and how lydia could ever have attached him had appeared

incomprehensible but now it was all too natural for such an attachment

as this she might have sufficient charms and though she did not suppose

lydia to be deliberately engaging in an elopement without the intention

of marriage she had no difficulty in believing that neither her virtue

nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy prey

she had never perceived while the regiment was in hertfordshire that

lydia had any partiality for him but she was convinced that lydia

wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody sometimes one

officer sometimes another had been her favourite as their attentions

raised them in her opinion her affections had continually been

fluctuating but never without an object the mischief of neglect and

mistaken indulgence towards such a girloh how acutely did she now

feel it

she was wild to be at hometo hear to see to be upon the spot to

share with jane in the cares that must now fall wholly upon her in a

family so deranged a father absent a mother incapable of exertion and

requiring constant attendance and though almost persuaded that nothing

could be done for lydia her uncles interference seemed of the utmost

importance and till he entered the room her impatience was severe mr

and mrs gardiner had hurried back in alarm supposing by the servants

account that their niece was taken suddenly ill but satisfying them

instantly on that head she eagerly communicated the cause of their

summons reading the two letters aloud and dwelling on the postscript

of the last with trembling energythough lydia had never been a

favourite with them mr and mrs gardiner could not but be deeply

afflicted not lydia only but all were concerned in it and after the

first exclamations of surprise and horror mr gardiner promised every

assistance in his power elizabeth though expecting no less thanked

him with tears of gratitude and all three being actuated by one spirit

everything relating to their journey was speedily settled they were to

be off as soon as possible but what is to be done about pemberley

cried mrs gardiner john told us mr darcy was here when you sent for

us was it so

yes and i told him we should not be able to keep our engagement

that is all settled

what is all settled repeated the other as she ran into her room to

prepare and are they upon such terms as for her to disclose the real

truth oh that i knew how it was

but wishes were vain or at least could only serve to amuse her in the

hurry and confusion of the following hour had elizabeth been at leisure

to be idle she would have remained certain that all employment was

impossible to one so wretched as herself but she had her share of

business as well as her aunt and amongst the rest there were notes to

be written to all their friends at lambton with false excuses for their

sudden departure an hour however saw the whole completed and mr

gardiner meanwhile having settled his account at the inn nothing

remained to be done but to go and elizabeth after all the misery of

the morning found herself in a shorter space of time than she could

have supposed seated in the carriage and on the road to longbourn

chapter 

i have been thinking it over again elizabeth said her uncle as they

drove from the town and really upon serious consideration i am much

more inclined than i was to judge as your eldest sister does on the

matter it appears to me so very unlikely that any young man should

form such a design against a girl who is by no means unprotected or

friendless and who was actually staying in his colonels family that i

am strongly inclined to hope the best could he expect that her friends

would not step forward could he expect to be noticed again by the

regiment after such an affront to colonel forster his temptation is

not adequate to the risk

do you really think so cried elizabeth brightening up for a moment

upon my word said mrs gardiner i begin to be of your uncles

opinion it is really too great a violation of decency honour and

interest for him to be guilty of i cannot think so very ill of

wickham can you yourself lizzy so wholly give him up as to believe

him capable of it

not perhaps of neglecting his own interest but of every other

neglect i can believe him capable if indeed it should be so but i

dare not hope it why should they not go on to scotland if that had been

the case

in the first place replied mr gardiner there is no absolute proof

that they are not gone to scotland

oh but their removing from the chaise into a hackney coach is such

a presumption and besides no traces of them were to be found on the

barnet road

well thensupposing them to be in london they may be there though

for the purpose of concealment for no more exceptional purpose it is

not likely that money should be very abundant on either side and it

might strike them that they could be more economically though less

expeditiously married in london than in scotland

but why all this secrecy why any fear of detection why must their

marriage be private oh no nothis is not likely his most particular

friend you see by janes account was persuaded of his never intending

to marry her wickham will never marry a woman without some money he

cannot afford it and what claims has lydiawhat attraction has she

beyond youth health and good humour that could make him for her sake

forego every chance of benefiting himself by marrying well as to what

restraint the apprehensions of disgrace in the corps might throw on a

dishonourable elopement with her i am not able to judge for i know

nothing of the effects that such a step might produce but as to your

other objection i am afraid it will hardly hold good lydia has

no brothers to step forward and he might imagine from my fathers

behaviour from his indolence and the little attention he has ever

seemed to give to what was going forward in his family that he would

do as little and think as little about it as any father could do in

such a matter

but can you think that lydia is so lost to everything but love of him

as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage

it does seem and it is most shocking indeed replied elizabeth with

tears in her eyes that a sisters sense of decency and virtue in such

a point should admit of doubt but really i know not what to say

perhaps i am not doing her justice but she is very young she has never

been taught to think on serious subjects and for the last halfyear

nay for a twelvemonthshe has been given up to nothing but amusement

and vanity she has been allowed to dispose of her time in the most idle

and frivolous manner and to adopt any opinions that came in her way

since the shire were first quartered in meryton nothing but love

flirtation and officers have been in her head she has been doing

everything in her power by thinking and talking on the subject to give

greaterwhat shall i call it susceptibility to her feelings which are

naturally lively enough and we all know that wickham has every charm of

person and address that can captivate a woman

but you see that jane said her aunt does not think so very ill of

wickham as to believe him capable of the attempt

of whom does jane ever think ill and who is there whatever might be

their former conduct that she would think capable of such an attempt

till it were proved against them but jane knows as well as i do what

wickham really is we both know that he has been profligate in every

sense of the word that he has neither integrity nor honour that he is

as false and deceitful as he is insinuating

and do you really know all this cried mrs gardiner whose curiosity

as to the mode of her intelligence was all alive

i do indeed replied elizabeth colouring i told you the other day

of his infamous behaviour to mr darcy and you yourself when last at

longbourn heard in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved

with such forbearance and liberality towards him and there are other

circumstances which i am not at libertywhich it is not worth while to

relate but his lies about the whole pemberley family are endless from

what he said of miss darcy i was thoroughly prepared to see a proud

reserved disagreeable girl yet he knew to the contrary himself he

must know that she was as amiable and unpretending as we have found

her

but does lydia know nothing of this can she be ignorant of what you

and jane seem so well to understand

oh yesthat that is the worst of all till i was in kent and saw

so much both of mr darcy and his relation colonel fitzwilliam i was

ignorant of the truth myself and when i returned home the shire

was to leave meryton in a week or fortnights time as that was the

case neither jane to whom i related the whole nor i thought it

necessary to make our knowledge public for of what use could

it apparently be to any one that the good opinion which all the

neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown and even when it was

settled that lydia should go with mrs forster the necessity of opening

her eyes to his character never occurred to me that she could be

in any danger from the deception never entered my head that such a

consequence as this could ensue you may easily believe was far

enough from my thoughts

when they all removed to brighton therefore you had no reason i

suppose to believe them fond of each other

not the slightest i can remember no symptom of affection on either

side and had anything of the kind been perceptible you must be aware

that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown away when first

he entered the corps she was ready enough to admire him but so we all

were every girl in or near meryton was out of her senses about him for

the first two months but he never distinguished her by any particular

attention and consequently after a moderate period of extravagant and

wild admiration her fancy for him gave way and others of the regiment

who treated her with more distinction again became her favourites

                              

it may be easily believed that however little of novelty could be added

to their fears hopes and conjectures on this interesting subject by

its repeated discussion no other could detain them from it long during

the whole of the journey from elizabeths thoughts it was never absent

fixed there by the keenest of all anguish selfreproach she could find

no interval of ease or forgetfulness

they travelled as expeditiously as possible and sleeping one night

on the road reached longbourn by dinner time the next day it was a

comfort to elizabeth to consider that jane could not have been wearied

by long expectations

the little gardiners attracted by the sight of a chaise were standing

on the steps of the house as they entered the paddock and when the

carriage drove up to the door the joyful surprise that lighted up their

faces and displayed itself over their whole bodies in a variety of

capers and frisks was the first pleasing earnest of their welcome

elizabeth jumped out and after giving each of them a hasty kiss

hurried into the vestibule where jane who came running down from her

mothers apartment immediately met her

elizabeth as she affectionately embraced her whilst tears filled the

eyes of both lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been

heard of the fugitives

not yet replied jane but now that my dear uncle is come i hope

everything will be well

is my father in town

yes he went on tuesday as i wrote you word

and have you heard from him often

we have heard only twice he wrote me a few lines on wednesday to say

that he had arrived in safety and to give me his directions which i

particularly begged him to do he merely added that he should not write

again till he had something of importance to mention

and my motherhow is she how are you all

my mother is tolerably well i trust though her spirits are greatly

shaken she is up stairs and will have great satisfaction in seeing you

all she does not yet leave her dressingroom mary and kitty thank

heaven are quite well

but youhow are you cried elizabeth you look pale how much you

must have gone through

her sister however assured her of her being perfectly well and their

conversation which had been passing while mr and mrs gardiner were

engaged with their children was now put an end to by the approach

of the whole party jane ran to her uncle and aunt and welcomed and

thanked them both with alternate smiles and tears

when they were all in the drawingroom the questions which elizabeth

had already asked were of course repeated by the others and they soon

found that jane had no intelligence to give the sanguine hope of

good however which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet

deserted her she still expected that it would all end well and that

every morning would bring some letter either from lydia or her father

to explain their proceedings and perhaps announce their marriage

mrs bennet to whose apartment they all repaired after a few minutes

conversation together received them exactly as might be expected with

tears and lamentations of regret invectives against the villainous

conduct of wickham and complaints of her own sufferings and illusage

blaming everybody but the person to whose illjudging indulgence the

errors of her daughter must principally be owing

if i had been able said she to carry my point in going to brighton

with all my family this would not have happened but poor dear lydia

had nobody to take care of her why did the forsters ever let her go out

of their sight i am sure there was some great neglect or other on their

side for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been

well looked after i always thought they were very unfit to have the

charge of her but i was overruled as i always am poor dear child

and now heres mr bennet gone away and i know he will fight wickham

wherever he meets him and then he will be killed and what is to become

of us all the collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his

grave and if you are not kind to us brother i do not know what we

shall do

they all exclaimed against such terrific ideas and mr gardiner after

general assurances of his affection for her and all her family told her

that he meant to be in london the very next day and would assist mr

bennet in every endeavour for recovering lydia

do not give way to useless alarm added he though it is right to be

prepared for the worst there is no occasion to look on it as certain

it is not quite a week since they left brighton in a few days more we

may gain some news of them and till we know that they are not married

and have no design of marrying do not let us give the matter over as

lost as soon as i get to town i shall go to my brother and make

him come home with me to gracechurch street and then we may consult

together as to what is to be done

oh my dear brother replied mrs bennet that is exactly what i

could most wish for and now do when you get to town find them out

wherever they may be and if they are not married already make them

marry and as for wedding clothes do not let them wait for that but

tell lydia she shall have as much money as she chooses to buy them

after they are married and above all keep mr bennet from fighting

tell him what a dreadful state i am in that i am frighted out of my

witsand have such tremblings such flutterings all over mesuch

spasms in my side and pains in my head and such beatings at heart that

i can get no rest by night nor by day and tell my dear lydia not to

give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me for she does

not know which are the best warehouses oh brother how kind you are i

know you will contrive it all

but mr gardiner though he assured her again of his earnest endeavours

in the cause could not avoid recommending moderation to her as well

in her hopes as her fear and after talking with her in this manner till

dinner was on the table they all left her to vent all her feelings on

the housekeeper who attended in the absence of her daughters

though her brother and sister were persuaded that there was no real

occasion for such a seclusion from the family they did not attempt to

oppose it for they knew that she had not prudence enough to hold her

tongue before the servants while they waited at table and judged it

better that one only of the household and the one whom they could

most trust should comprehend all her fears and solicitude on the

subject

in the diningroom they were soon joined by mary and kitty who had been

too busily engaged in their separate apartments to make their appearance

before one came from her books and the other from her toilette the

faces of both however were tolerably calm and no change was visible

in either except that the loss of her favourite sister or the anger

which she had herself incurred in this business had given more of

fretfulness than usual to the accents of kitty as for mary she was

mistress enough of herself to whisper to elizabeth with a countenance

of grave reflection soon after they were seated at table

this is a most unfortunate affair and will probably be much talked of

but we must stem the tide of malice and pour into the wounded bosoms of

each other the balm of sisterly consolation

then perceiving in elizabeth no inclination of replying she added

unhappy as the event must be for lydia we may draw from it this useful

lesson that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable that one

false step involves her in endless ruin that her reputation is no less

brittle than it is beautiful and that she cannot be too much guarded in

her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex

elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement but was too much oppressed

to make any reply mary however continued to console herself with such

kind of moral extractions from the evil before them

in the afternoon the two elder miss bennets were able to be for

halfanhour by themselves and elizabeth instantly availed herself of

the opportunity of making any inquiries which jane was equally eager to

satisfy after joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel

of this event which elizabeth considered as all but certain and miss

bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible the former continued

the subject by saying but tell me all and everything about it which

i have not already heard give me further particulars what did colonel

forster say had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement

took place they must have seen them together for ever

colonel forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality

especially on lydias side but nothing to give him any alarm i am so

grieved for him his behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost he

was coming to us in order to assure us of his concern before he had

any idea of their not being gone to scotland when that apprehension

first got abroad it hastened his journey

and was denny convinced that wickham would not marry did he know of

their intending to go off had colonel forster seen denny himself

yes but when questioned by him denny denied knowing anything of

their plans and would not give his real opinion about it he did not

repeat his persuasion of their not marryingand from that i am

inclined to hope he might have been misunderstood before

and till colonel forster came himself not one of you entertained a

doubt i suppose of their being really married

how was it possible that such an idea should enter our brains i felt

a little uneasya little fearful of my sisters happiness with him

in marriage because i knew that his conduct had not been always quite

right my father and mother knew nothing of that they only felt how

imprudent a match it must be kitty then owned with a very natural

triumph on knowing more than the rest of us that in lydias last letter

she had prepared her for such a step she had known it seems of their

being in love with each other many weeks

but not before they went to brighton

no i believe not

and did colonel forster appear to think well of wickham himself does

he know his real character

i must confess that he did not speak so well of wickham as he formerly

did he believed him to be imprudent and extravagant and since this sad

affair has taken place it is said that he left meryton greatly in debt

but i hope this may be false

oh jane had we been less secret had we told what we knew of him

this could not have happened

perhaps it would have been better replied her sister but to expose

the former faults of any person without knowing what their present

feelings were seemed unjustifiable we acted with the best intentions

could colonel forster repeat the particulars of lydias note to his

wife

he brought it with him for us to see

jane then took it from her pocketbook and gave it to elizabeth these

were the contents

my dear harriet

you will laugh when you know where i am gone and i cannot help

laughing myself at your surprise tomorrow morning as soon as i am

missed i am going to gretna green and if you cannot guess with who

i shall think you a simpleton for there is but one man in the world i

love and he is an angel i should never be happy without him so think

it no harm to be off you need not send them word at longbourn of my

going if you do not like it for it will make the surprise the greater

when i write to them and sign my name lydia wickham what a good joke

it will be i can hardly write for laughing pray make my excuses to

pratt for not keeping my engagement and dancing with him tonight

tell him i hope he will excuse me when he knows all and tell him i will

dance with him at the next ball we meet with great pleasure i shall

send for my clothes when i get to longbourn but i wish you would tell

sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are

packed up goodbye give my love to colonel forster i hope you will

drink to our good journey

your affectionate friend

lydia bennet

oh thoughtless thoughtless lydia cried elizabeth when she had

finished it what a letter is this to be written at such a moment

but at least it shows that she was serious on the subject of their

journey whatever he might afterwards persuade her to it was not on her

side a scheme of infamy my poor father how he must have felt it

i never saw anyone so shocked he could not speak a word for full ten

minutes my mother was taken ill immediately and the whole house in

such confusion

oh jane cried elizabeth was there a servant belonging to it who

did not know the whole story before the end of the day

i do not know i hope there was but to be guarded at such a time is

very difficult my mother was in hysterics and though i endeavoured to

give her every assistance in my power i am afraid i did not do so

much as i might have done but the horror of what might possibly happen

almost took from me my faculties

your attendance upon her has been too much for you you do not look

well oh that i had been with you you have had every care and anxiety

upon yourself alone

mary and kitty have been very kind and would have shared in every

fatigue i am sure but i did not think it right for either of them

kitty is slight and delicate and mary studies so much that her hours

of repose should not be broken in on my aunt phillips came to longbourn

on tuesday after my father went away and was so good as to stay till

thursday with me she was of great use and comfort to us all and

lady lucas has been very kind she walked here on wednesday morning to

condole with us and offered her services or any of her daughters if

they should be of use to us

she had better have stayed at home cried elizabeth perhaps she

meant well but under such a misfortune as this one cannot see

too little of ones neighbours assistance is impossible condolence

insufferable let them triumph over us at a distance and be satisfied

she then proceeded to inquire into the measures which her father had

intended to pursue while in town for the recovery of his daughter

he meant i believe replied jane to go to epsom the place where

they last changed horses see the postilions and try if anything could

be made out from them his principal object must be to discover the

number of the hackney coach which took them from clapham it had come

with a fare from london and as he thought that the circumstance of a

gentleman and ladys removing from one carriage into another might

be remarked he meant to make inquiries at clapham if he could anyhow

discover at what house the coachman had before set down his fare he

determined to make inquiries there and hoped it might not be impossible

to find out the stand and number of the coach i do not know of any

other designs that he had formed but he was in such a hurry to be gone

and his spirits so greatly discomposed that i had difficulty in finding

out even so much as this

chapter 

the whole party were in hopes of a letter from mr bennet the next

morning but the post came in without bringing a single line from him

his family knew him to be on all common occasions a most negligent and

dilatory correspondent but at such a time they had hoped for exertion

they were forced to conclude that he had no pleasing intelligence to

send but even of that they would have been glad to be certain mr

gardiner had waited only for the letters before he set off

when he was gone they were certain at least of receiving constant

information of what was going on and their uncle promised at parting

to prevail on mr bennet to return to longbourn as soon as he could

to the great consolation of his sister who considered it as the only

security for her husbands not being killed in a duel

mrs gardiner and the children were to remain in hertfordshire a few

days longer as the former thought her presence might be serviceable

to her nieces she shared in their attendance on mrs bennet and was a

great comfort to them in their hours of freedom their other aunt also

visited them frequently and always as she said with the design of

cheering and heartening them upthough as she never came without

reporting some fresh instance of wickhams extravagance or irregularity

she seldom went away without leaving them more dispirited than she found

them

all meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who but three months

before had been almost an angel of light he was declared to be in debt

to every tradesman in the place and his intrigues all honoured with

the title of seduction had been extended into every tradesmans family

everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world

and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the

appearance of his goodness elizabeth though she did not credit above

half of what was said believed enough to make her former assurance of

her sisters ruin more certain and even jane who believed still less

of it became almost hopeless more especially as the time was now come

when if they had gone to scotland which she had never before entirely

despaired of they must in all probability have gained some news of

them

mr gardiner left longbourn on sunday on tuesday his wife received a

letter from him it told them that on his arrival he had immediately

found out his brother and persuaded him to come to gracechurch street

that mr bennet had been to epsom and clapham before his arrival

but without gaining any satisfactory information and that he was now

determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town as mr bennet

thought it possible they might have gone to one of them on their first

coming to london before they procured lodgings mr gardiner himself

did not expect any success from this measure but as his brother was

eager in it he meant to assist him in pursuing it he added that mr

bennet seemed wholly disinclined at present to leave london and promised

to write again very soon there was also a postscript to this effect

i have written to colonel forster to desire him to find out if

possible from some of the young mans intimates in the regiment

whether wickham has any relations or connections who would be likely to

know in what part of town he has now concealed himself if there were

anyone that one could apply to with a probability of gaining such a

clue as that it might be of essential consequence at present we have

nothing to guide us colonel forster will i dare say do everything in

his power to satisfy us on this head but on second thoughts perhaps

lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living better than any

other person

elizabeth was at no loss to understand from whence this deference to her

authority proceeded but it was not in her power to give any information

of so satisfactory a nature as the compliment deserved she had never

heard of his having had any relations except a father and mother both

of whom had been dead many years it was possible however that some of

his companions in the shire might be able to give more information

and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it the application

was a something to look forward to

every day at longbourn was now a day of anxiety but the most anxious

part of each was when the post was expected the arrival of letters

was the grand object of every mornings impatience through letters

whatever of good or bad was to be told would be communicated and every

succeeding day was expected to bring some news of importance

but before they heard again from mr gardiner a letter arrived for

their father from a different quarter from mr collins which as jane

had received directions to open all that came for him in his absence

she accordingly read and elizabeth who knew what curiosities his

letters always were looked over her and read it likewise it was as

follows

my dear sir

i feel myself called upon by our relationship and my situation

in life to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now

suffering under of which we were yesterday informed by a letter from

hertfordshire be assured my dear sir that mrs collins and myself

sincerely sympathise with you and all your respectable family in

your present distress which must be of the bitterest kind because

proceeding from a cause which no time can remove no arguments shall be

wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortuneor that

may comfort you under a circumstance that must be of all others the

most afflicting to a parents mind the death of your daughter would

have been a blessing in comparison of this and it is the more to

be lamented because there is reason to suppose as my dear charlotte

informs me that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter has

proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence though at the same time

for the consolation of yourself and mrs bennet i am inclined to think

that her own disposition must be naturally bad or she could not be

guilty of such an enormity at so early an age howsoever that may be

you are grievously to be pitied in which opinion i am not only joined

by mrs collins but likewise by lady catherine and her daughter to

whom i have related the affair they agree with me in apprehending that

this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of

all the others for who as lady catherine herself condescendingly says

will connect themselves with such a family and this consideration leads

me moreover to reflect with augmented satisfaction on a certain event

of last november for had it been otherwise i must have been involved

in all your sorrow and disgrace let me then advise you dear sir to

console yourself as much as possible to throw off your unworthy child

from your affection for ever and leave her to reap the fruits of her

own heinous offense

i am dear sir etc etc

mr gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from

colonel forster and then he had nothing of a pleasant nature to send

it was not known that wickham had a single relationship with whom he

kept up any connection and it was certain that he had no near one

living his former acquaintances had been numerous but since he

had been in the militia it did not appear that he was on terms of

particular friendship with any of them there was no one therefore

who could be pointed out as likely to give any news of him and in the

wretched state of his own finances there was a very powerful motive for

secrecy in addition to his fear of discovery by lydias relations for

it had just transpired that he had left gaming debts behind him to a

very considerable amount colonel forster believed that more than a

thousand pounds would be necessary to clear his expenses at brighton

he owed a good deal in town but his debts of honour were still more

formidable mr gardiner did not attempt to conceal these particulars

from the longbourn family jane heard them with horror a gamester

she cried this is wholly unexpected i had not an idea of it

mr gardiner added in his letter that they might expect to see their

father at home on the following day which was saturday rendered

spiritless by the illsuccess of all their endeavours he had yielded

to his brotherinlaws entreaty that he would return to his family and

leave it to him to do whatever occasion might suggest to be advisable

for continuing their pursuit when mrs bennet was told of this she did

not express so much satisfaction as her children expected considering

what her anxiety for his life had been before

what is he coming home and without poor lydia she cried sure he

will not leave london before he has found them who is to fight wickham

and make him marry her if he comes away

as mrs gardiner began to wish to be at home it was settled that she

and the children should go to london at the same time that mr bennet

came from it the coach therefore took them the first stage of their

journey and brought its master back to longbourn

mrs gardiner went away in all the perplexity about elizabeth and her

derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world his

name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece and

the kind of halfexpectation which mrs gardiner had formed of their

being followed by a letter from him had ended in nothing elizabeth had

received none since her return that could come from pemberley

the present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for

the lowness of her spirits unnecessary nothing therefore could be

fairly conjectured from that though elizabeth who was by this time

tolerably well acquainted with her own feelings was perfectly aware

that had she known nothing of darcy she could have borne the dread of

lydias infamy somewhat better it would have spared her she thought

one sleepless night out of two

when mr bennet arrived he had all the appearance of his usual

philosophic composure he said as little as he had ever been in the

habit of saying made no mention of the business that had taken him

away and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of

it

it was not till the afternoon when he had joined them at tea that

elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject and then on her briefly

expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured he replied say

nothing of that who should suffer but myself it has been my own doing

and i ought to feel it

you must not be too severe upon yourself replied elizabeth

you may well warn me against such an evil human nature is so prone

to fall into it no lizzy let me once in my life feel how much i have

been to blame i am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression

it will pass away soon enough

do you suppose them to be in london

yes where else can they be so well concealed

and lydia used to want to go to london added kitty

she is happy then said her father drily and her residence there

will probably be of some duration

then after a short silence he continued

lizzy i bear you no illwill for being justified in your advice to me

last may which considering the event shows some greatness of mind

they were interrupted by miss bennet who came to fetch her mothers

tea

this is a parade he cried which does one good it gives such an

elegance to misfortune another day i will do the same i will sit in my

library in my nightcap and powdering gown and give as much trouble as

i can or perhaps i may defer it till kitty runs away

i am not going to run away papa said kitty fretfully if i should

ever go to brighton i would behave better than lydia

you go to brighton i would not trust you so near it as eastbourne

for fifty pounds no kitty i have at last learnt to be cautious and

you will feel the effects of it no officer is ever to enter into

my house again nor even to pass through the village balls will be

absolutely prohibited unless you stand up with one of your sisters

and you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have

spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner

kitty who took all these threats in a serious light began to cry

well well said he do not make yourself unhappy if you are a good

girl for the next ten years i will take you to a review at the end of

them

chapter 

two days after mr bennets return as jane and elizabeth were walking

together in the shrubbery behind the house they saw the housekeeper

coming towards them and concluding that she came to call them to their

mother went forward to meet her but instead of the expected summons

when they approached her she said to miss bennet i beg your pardon

madam for interrupting you but i was in hopes you might have got some

good news from town so i took the liberty of coming to ask

what do you mean hill we have heard nothing from town

dear madam cried mrs hill in great astonishment dont you know

there is an express come for master from mr gardiner he has been here

this halfhour and master has had a letter

away ran the girls too eager to get in to have time for speech they

ran through the vestibule into the breakfastroom from thence to the

library their father was in neither and they were on the point of

seeking him up stairs with their mother when they were met by the

butler who said

if you are looking for my master maam he is walking towards the

little copse

upon this information they instantly passed through the hall once

more and ran across the lawn after their father who was deliberately

pursuing his way towards a small wood on one side of the paddock

jane who was not so light nor so much in the habit of running as

elizabeth soon lagged behind while her sister panting for breath

came up with him and eagerly cried out

oh papa what newswhat news have you heard from my uncle

yes i have had a letter from him by express

well and what news does it bringgood or bad

what is there of good to be expected said he taking the letter from

his pocket but perhaps you would like to read it

elizabeth impatiently caught it from his hand jane now came up

read it aloud said their father for i hardly know myself what it is

about

gracechurch street monday august 

my dear brother

at last i am able to send you some tidings of my niece and such as

upon the whole i hope it will give you satisfaction soon after you

left me on saturday i was fortunate enough to find out in what part of

london they were the particulars i reserve till we meet it is enough

to know they are discovered i have seen them both

then it is as i always hoped cried jane they are married

elizabeth read on

i have seen them both they are not married nor can i find there

was any intention of being so but if you are willing to perform the

engagements which i have ventured to make on your side i hope it will

not be long before they are all that is required of you is to assure

to your daughter by settlement her equal share of the five thousand

pounds secured among your children after the decease of yourself and

my sister and moreover to enter into an engagement of allowing her

during your life one hundred pounds per annum these are conditions

which considering everything i had no hesitation in complying with

as far as i thought myself privileged for you i shall send this by

express that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer you

will easily comprehend from these particulars that mr wickhams

circumstances are not so hopeless as they are generally believed to be

the world has been deceived in that respect and i am happy to say there

will be some little money even when all his debts are discharged to

settle on my niece in addition to her own fortune if as i conclude

will be the case you send me full powers to act in your name throughout

the whole of this business i will immediately give directions to

haggerston for preparing a proper settlement there will not be the

smallest occasion for your coming to town again therefore stay quiet at

longbourn and depend on my diligence and care send back your answer as

fast as you can and be careful to write explicitly we have judged it

best that my niece should be married from this house of which i hope

you will approve she comes to us today i shall write again as soon as

anything more is determined on yours etc

edw gardiner

is it possible cried elizabeth when she had finished can it be

possible that he will marry her

wickham is not so undeserving then as we thought him said her

sister my dear father i congratulate you

and have you answered the letter cried elizabeth

no but it must be done soon

most earnestly did she then entreat him to lose no more time before he

wrote

oh my dear father she cried come back and write immediately

consider how important every moment is in such a case

let me write for you said jane if you dislike the trouble

yourself

i dislike it very much he replied but it must be done

and so saying he turned back with them and walked towards the house

and may i ask said elizabeth but the terms i suppose must be

complied with

complied with i am only ashamed of his asking so little

and they must marry yet he is such a man

yes yes they must marry there is nothing else to be done but there

are two things that i want very much to know one is how much money

your uncle has laid down to bring it about and the other how am i ever

to pay him

money my uncle cried jane what do you mean sir

i mean that no man in his senses would marry lydia on so slight a

temptation as one hundred a year during my life and fifty after i am

gone

that is very true said elizabeth though it had not occurred to me

before his debts to be discharged and something still to remain oh

it must be my uncles doings generous good man i am afraid he has

distressed himself a small sum could not do all this

no said her father wickhams a fool if he takes her with a farthing

less than ten thousand pounds i should be sorry to think so ill of him

in the very beginning of our relationship

ten thousand pounds heaven forbid how is half such a sum to be

repaid

mr bennet made no answer and each of them deep in thought continued

silent till they reached the house their father then went on to the

library to write and the girls walked into the breakfastroom

and they are really to be married cried elizabeth as soon as they

were by themselves how strange this is and for this we are to be

thankful that they should marry small as is their chance of happiness

and wretched as is his character we are forced to rejoice oh lydia

i comfort myself with thinking replied jane that he certainly would

not marry lydia if he had not a real regard for her though our kind

uncle has done something towards clearing him i cannot believe that ten

thousand pounds or anything like it has been advanced he has children

of his own and may have more how could he spare half ten thousand

pounds

if he were ever able to learn what wickhams debts have been said

elizabeth and how much is settled on his side on our sister we shall

exactly know what mr gardiner has done for them because wickham has

not sixpence of his own the kindness of my uncle and aunt can never

be requited their taking her home and affording her their personal

protection and countenance is such a sacrifice to her advantage as

years of gratitude cannot enough acknowledge by this time she is

actually with them if such goodness does not make her miserable now

she will never deserve to be happy what a meeting for her when she

first sees my aunt

we must endeavour to forget all that has passed on either side said

jane i hope and trust they will yet be happy his consenting to

marry her is a proof i will believe that he is come to a right way of

thinking their mutual affection will steady them and i flatter myself

they will settle so quietly and live in so rational a manner as may in

time make their past imprudence forgotten

their conduct has been such replied elizabeth as neither you nor

i nor anybody can ever forget it is useless to talk of it

it now occurred to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood

perfectly ignorant of what had happened they went to the library

therefore and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make

it known to her he was writing and without raising his head coolly

replied

just as you please

may we take my uncles letter to read to her

take whatever you like and get away

elizabeth took the letter from his writingtable and they went up stairs

together mary and kitty were both with mrs bennet one communication

would therefore do for all after a slight preparation for good news

the letter was read aloud mrs bennet could hardly contain herself as

soon as jane had read mr gardiners hope of lydias being soon

married her joy burst forth and every following sentence added to its

exuberance she was now in an irritation as violent from delight as she

had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation to know that her daughter

would be married was enough she was disturbed by no fear for her

felicity nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct

my dear dear lydia she cried this is delightful indeed she will

be married i shall see her again she will be married at sixteen

my good kind brother i knew how it would be i knew he would manage

everything how i long to see her and to see dear wickham too but the

clothes the wedding clothes i will write to my sister gardiner about

them directly lizzy my dear run down to your father and ask him

how much he will give her stay stay i will go myself ring the bell

kitty for hill i will put on my things in a moment my dear dear

lydia how merry we shall be together when we meet

her eldest daughter endeavoured to give some relief to the violence of

these transports by leading her thoughts to the obligations which mr

gardiners behaviour laid them all under

for we must attribute this happy conclusion she added in a great

measure to his kindness we are persuaded that he has pledged himself to

assist mr wickham with money

well cried her mother it is all very right who should do it but

her own uncle if he had not had a family of his own i and my children

must have had all his money you know and it is the first time we have

ever had anything from him except a few presents well i am so happy

in a short time i shall have a daughter married mrs wickham how well

it sounds and she was only sixteen last june my dear jane i am in

such a flutter that i am sure i cant write so i will dictate and

you write for me we will settle with your father about the money

afterwards but the things should be ordered immediately

she was then proceeding to all the particulars of calico muslin and

cambric and would shortly have dictated some very plentiful orders had

not jane though with some difficulty persuaded her to wait till her

father was at leisure to be consulted one days delay she observed

would be of small importance and her mother was too happy to be quite

so obstinate as usual other schemes too came into her head

i will go to meryton said she as soon as i am dressed and tell the

good good news to my sister philips and as i come back i can call

on lady lucas and mrs long kitty run down and order the carriage

an airing would do me a great deal of good i am sure girls can i do

anything for you in meryton oh here comes hill my dear hill have you

heard the good news miss lydia is going to be married and you shall

all have a bowl of punch to make merry at her wedding

mrs hill began instantly to express her joy elizabeth received her

congratulations amongst the rest and then sick of this folly took

refuge in her own room that she might think with freedom

poor lydias situation must at best be bad enough but that it was

no worse she had need to be thankful she felt it so and though in

looking forward neither rational happiness nor worldly prosperity could

be justly expected for her sister in looking back to what they had

feared only two hours ago she felt all the advantages of what they had

gained

chapter 

mr bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that

instead of spending his whole income he had laid by an annual sum for

the better provision of his children and of his wife if she survived

him he now wished it more than ever had he done his duty in that

respect lydia need not have been indebted to her uncle for whatever

of honour or credit could now be purchased for her the satisfaction of

prevailing on one of the most worthless young men in great britain to be

her husband might then have rested in its proper place

he was seriously concerned that a cause of so little advantage to anyone

should be forwarded at the sole expense of his brotherinlaw and he

was determined if possible to find out the extent of his assistance

and to discharge the obligation as soon as he could

when first mr bennet had married economy was held to be perfectly

useless for of course they were to have a son the son was to join

in cutting off the entail as soon as he should be of age and the widow

and younger children would by that means be provided for five daughters

successively entered the world but yet the son was to come and mrs

bennet for many years after lydias birth had been certain that he

would this event had at last been despaired of but it was then

too late to be saving mrs bennet had no turn for economy and her

husbands love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their

income

five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on mrs bennet and

the children but in what proportions it should be divided amongst the

latter depended on the will of the parents this was one point with

regard to lydia at least which was now to be settled and mr bennet

could have no hesitation in acceding to the proposal before him in

terms of grateful acknowledgment for the kindness of his brother

though expressed most concisely he then delivered on paper his perfect

approbation of all that was done and his willingness to fulfil the

engagements that had been made for him he had never before supposed

that could wickham be prevailed on to marry his daughter it would

be done with so little inconvenience to himself as by the present

arrangement he would scarcely be ten pounds a year the loser by the

hundred that was to be paid them for what with her board and pocket

allowance and the continual presents in money which passed to her

through her mothers hands lydias expenses had been very little within

that sum

that it would be done with such trifling exertion on his side too was

another very welcome surprise for his wish at present was to have as

little trouble in the business as possible when the first transports

of rage which had produced his activity in seeking her were over he

naturally returned to all his former indolence his letter was soon

dispatched for though dilatory in undertaking business he was quick

in its execution he begged to know further particulars of what he

was indebted to his brother but was too angry with lydia to send any

message to her

the good news spread quickly through the house and with proportionate

speed through the neighbourhood it was borne in the latter with decent

philosophy to be sure it would have been more for the advantage

of conversation had miss lydia bennet come upon the town or as the

happiest alternative been secluded from the world in some distant

farmhouse but there was much to be talked of in marrying her and the

goodnatured wishes for her welldoing which had proceeded before from

all the spiteful old ladies in meryton lost but a little of their spirit

in this change of circumstances because with such an husband her misery

was considered certain

it was a fortnight since mrs bennet had been downstairs but on this

happy day she again took her seat at the head of her table and in

spirits oppressively high no sentiment of shame gave a damp to her

triumph the marriage of a daughter which had been the first object

of her wishes since jane was sixteen was now on the point of

accomplishment and her thoughts and her words ran wholly on those

attendants of elegant nuptials fine muslins new carriages and

servants she was busily searching through the neighbourhood for a

proper situation for her daughter and without knowing or considering

what their income might be rejected many as deficient in size and

importance

haye park might do said she if the gouldings could quit itor the

great house at stoke if the drawingroom were larger but ashworth is

too far off i could not bear to have her ten miles from me and as for

pulvis lodge the attics are dreadful

her husband allowed her to talk on without interruption while the

servants remained but when they had withdrawn he said to her mrs

bennet before you take any or all of these houses for your son and

daughter let us come to a right understanding into one house in this

neighbourhood they shall never have admittance i will not encourage the

impudence of either by receiving them at longbourn

a long dispute followed this declaration but mr bennet was firm it

soon led to another and mrs bennet found with amazement and horror

that her husband would not advance a guinea to buy clothes for his

daughter he protested that she should receive from him no mark of

affection whatever on the occasion mrs bennet could hardly comprehend

it that his anger could be carried to such a point of inconceivable

resentment as to refuse his daughter a privilege without which her

marriage would scarcely seem valid exceeded all she could believe

possible she was more alive to the disgrace which her want of new

clothes must reflect on her daughters nuptials than to any sense of

shame at her eloping and living with wickham a fortnight before they

took place

elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had from the distress of

the moment been led to make mr darcy acquainted with their fears for

her sister for since her marriage would so shortly give the

proper termination to the elopement they might hope to conceal its

unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the

spot

she had no fear of its spreading farther through his means there were

few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended

but at the same time there was no one whose knowledge of a sisters

frailty would have mortified her so muchnot however from any fear

of disadvantage from it individually to herself for at any rate

there seemed a gulf impassable between them had lydias marriage been

concluded on the most honourable terms it was not to be supposed that

mr darcy would connect himself with a family where to every other

objection would now be added an alliance and relationship of the

nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned

from such a connection she could not wonder that he would shrink the

wish of procuring her regard which she had assured herself of his

feeling in derbyshire could not in rational expectation survive such a

blow as this she was humbled she was grieved she repented though she

hardly knew of what she became jealous of his esteem when she could no

longer hope to be benefited by it she wanted to hear of him when there

seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence she was convinced that

she could have been happy with him when it was no longer likely they

should meet

what a triumph for him as she often thought could he know that the

proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago would now

have been most gladly and gratefully received he was as generous she

doubted not as the most generous of his sex but while he was mortal

there must be a triumph

she began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who in

disposition and talents would most suit her his understanding and

temper though unlike her own would have answered all her wishes it

was an union that must have been to the advantage of both by her ease

and liveliness his mind might have been softened his manners improved

and from his judgement information and knowledge of the world she

must have received benefit of greater importance

but no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what

connubial felicity really was an union of a different tendency and

precluding the possibility of the other was soon to be formed in their

family

how wickham and lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence

she could not imagine but how little of permanent happiness could

belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions

were stronger than their virtue she could easily conjecture

                              

mr gardiner soon wrote again to his brother to mr bennets

acknowledgments he briefly replied with assurance of his eagerness to

promote the welfare of any of his family and concluded with entreaties

that the subject might never be mentioned to him again the principal

purport of his letter was to inform them that mr wickham had resolved

on quitting the militia

it was greatly my wish that he should do so he added as soon as

his marriage was fixed on and i think you will agree with me in

considering the removal from that corps as highly advisable both on

his account and my nieces it is mr wickhams intention to go into

the regulars and among his former friends there are still some who

are able and willing to assist him in the army he has the promise of an

ensigncy in general s regiment now quartered in the north it

is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom he

promises fairly and i hope among different people where they may each

have a character to preserve they will both be more prudent i have

written to colonel forster to inform him of our present arrangements

and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of mr wickham

in and near brighton with assurances of speedy payment for which i

have pledged myself and will you give yourself the trouble of carrying

similar assurances to his creditors in meryton of whom i shall subjoin

a list according to his information he has given in all his debts i

hope at least he has not deceived us haggerston has our directions

and all will be completed in a week they will then join his regiment

unless they are first invited to longbourn and i understand from mrs

gardiner that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she

leaves the south she is well and begs to be dutifully remembered to

you and her motheryours etc

e gardiner

mr bennet and his daughters saw all the advantages of wickhams removal

from the shire as clearly as mr gardiner could do but mrs bennet

was not so well pleased with it lydias being settled in the north

just when she had expected most pleasure and pride in her company

for she had by no means given up her plan of their residing in

hertfordshire was a severe disappointment and besides it was such a

pity that lydia should be taken from a regiment where she was acquainted

with everybody and had so many favourites

she is so fond of mrs forster said she it will be quite shocking

to send her away and there are several of the young men too that she

likes very much the officers may not be so pleasant in general s

regiment

his daughters request for such it might be considered of being

admitted into her family again before she set off for the north

received at first an absolute negative but jane and elizabeth

who agreed in wishing for the sake of their sisters feelings and

consequence that she should be noticed on her marriage by her parents

urged him so earnestly yet so rationally and so mildly to receive her

and her husband at longbourn as soon as they were married that he was

prevailed on to think as they thought and act as they wished and their

mother had the satisfaction of knowing that she would be able to show

her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished to the

north when mr bennet wrote again to his brother therefore he sent

his permission for them to come and it was settled that as soon as

the ceremony was over they should proceed to longbourn elizabeth was

surprised however that wickham should consent to such a scheme and

had she consulted only her own inclination any meeting with him would

have been the last object of her wishes

chapter 

their sisters wedding day arrived and jane and elizabeth felt for her

probably more than she felt for herself the carriage was sent to

meet them at  and they were to return in it by dinnertime their

arrival was dreaded by the elder miss bennets and jane more especially

who gave lydia the feelings which would have attended herself had she

been the culprit and was wretched in the thought of what her sister

must endure

they came the family were assembled in the breakfast room to receive

them smiles decked the face of mrs bennet as the carriage drove up to

the door her husband looked impenetrably grave her daughters alarmed

anxious uneasy

lydias voice was heard in the vestibule the door was thrown open and

she ran into the room her mother stepped forwards embraced her and

welcomed her with rapture gave her hand with an affectionate smile

to wickham who followed his lady and wished them both joy with an

alacrity which shewed no doubt of their happiness

their reception from mr bennet to whom they then turned was not quite

so cordial his countenance rather gained in austerity and he scarcely

opened his lips the easy assurance of the young couple indeed was

enough to provoke him elizabeth was disgusted and even miss bennet

was shocked lydia was lydia still untamed unabashed wild noisy

and fearless she turned from sister to sister demanding their

congratulations and when at length they all sat down looked eagerly

round the room took notice of some little alteration in it and

observed with a laugh that it was a great while since she had been

there

wickham was not at all more distressed than herself but his manners

were always so pleasing that had his character and his marriage been

exactly what they ought his smiles and his easy address while he

claimed their relationship would have delighted them all elizabeth had

not before believed him quite equal to such assurance but she sat down

resolving within herself to draw no limits in future to the impudence

of an impudent man she blushed and jane blushed but the cheeks of the

two who caused their confusion suffered no variation of colour

there was no want of discourse the bride and her mother could neither

of them talk fast enough and wickham who happened to sit near

elizabeth began inquiring after his acquaintance in that neighbourhood

with a good humoured ease which she felt very unable to equal in her

replies they seemed each of them to have the happiest memories in the

world nothing of the past was recollected with pain and lydia led

voluntarily to subjects which her sisters would not have alluded to for

the world

only think of its being three months she cried since i went away

it seems but a fortnight i declare and yet there have been things

enough happened in the time good gracious when i went away i am sure

i had no more idea of being married till i came back again though i

thought it would be very good fun if i was

her father lifted up his eyes jane was distressed elizabeth looked

expressively at lydia but she who never heard nor saw anything of

which she chose to be insensible gaily continued oh mamma do the

people hereabouts know i am married today i was afraid they might not

and we overtook william goulding in his curricle so i was determined he

should know it and so i let down the sideglass next to him and took

off my glove and let my hand just rest upon the window frame so that

he might see the ring and then i bowed and smiled like anything

elizabeth could bear it no longer she got up and ran out of the room

and returned no more till she heard them passing through the hall to

the dining parlour she then joined them soon enough to see lydia with

anxious parade walk up to her mothers right hand and hear her say

to her eldest sister ah jane i take your place now and you must go

lower because i am a married woman

it was not to be supposed that time would give lydia that embarrassment

from which she had been so wholly free at first her ease and good

spirits increased she longed to see mrs phillips the lucases and

all their other neighbours and to hear herself called mrs wickham

by each of them and in the mean time she went after dinner to show her

ring and boast of being married to mrs hill and the two housemaids

well mamma said she when they were all returned to the breakfast

room and what do you think of my husband is not he a charming man i

am sure my sisters must all envy me i only hope they may have half

my good luck they must all go to brighton that is the place to get

husbands what a pity it is mamma we did not all go

very true and if i had my will we should but my dear lydia i dont

at all like your going such a way off must it be so

oh lord yesthere is nothing in that i shall like it of all

things you and papa and my sisters must come down and see us we

shall be at newcastle all the winter and i dare say there will be some

balls and i will take care to get good partners for them all

i should like it beyond anything said her mother

and then when you go away you may leave one or two of my sisters

behind you and i dare say i shall get husbands for them before the

winter is over

i thank you for my share of the favour said elizabeth but i do not

particularly like your way of getting husbands

their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them mr wickham

had received his commission before he left london and he was to join

his regiment at the end of a fortnight

no one but mrs bennet regretted that their stay would be so short and

she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter and

having very frequent parties at home these parties were acceptable to

all to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did

think than such as did not

wickhams affection for lydia was just what elizabeth had expected

to find it not equal to lydias for him she had scarcely needed her

present observation to be satisfied from the reason of things that

their elopement had been brought on by the strength of her love rather

than by his and she would have wondered why without violently caring

for her he chose to elope with her at all had she not felt certain

that his flight was rendered necessary by distress of circumstances and

if that were the case he was not the young man to resist an opportunity

of having a companion

lydia was exceedingly fond of him he was her dear wickham on every

occasion no one was to be put in competition with him he did every

thing best in the world and she was sure he would kill more birds on

the first of september than any body else in the country

one morning soon after their arrival as she was sitting with her two

elder sisters she said to elizabeth

lizzy i never gave you an account of my wedding i believe you

were not by when i told mamma and the others all about it are not you

curious to hear how it was managed

no really replied elizabeth i think there cannot be too little said

on the subject

la you are so strange but i must tell you how it went off we were

married you know at st clements because wickhams lodgings were in

that parish and it was settled that we should all be there by eleven

oclock my uncle and aunt and i were to go together and the others

were to meet us at the church well monday morning came and i was in

such a fuss i was so afraid you know that something would happen to

put it off and then i should have gone quite distracted and there was

my aunt all the time i was dressing preaching and talking away just as

if she was reading a sermon however i did not hear above one word in

ten for i was thinking you may suppose of my dear wickham i longed

to know whether he would be married in his blue coat

well and so we breakfasted at ten as usual i thought it would never

be over for by the bye you are to understand that my uncle and aunt

were horrid unpleasant all the time i was with them if youll believe

me i did not once put my foot out of doors though i was there a

fortnight not one party or scheme or anything to be sure london was

rather thin but however the little theatre was open well and so

just as the carriage came to the door my uncle was called away upon

business to that horrid man mr stone and then you know when once

they get together there is no end of it well i was so frightened i

did not know what to do for my uncle was to give me away and if we

were beyond the hour we could not be married all day but luckily he

came back again in ten minutes time and then we all set out however

i recollected afterwards that if he had been prevented going the

wedding need not be put off for mr darcy might have done as well

mr darcy repeated elizabeth in utter amazement

oh yeshe was to come there with wickham you know but gracious

me i quite forgot i ought not to have said a word about it i promised

them so faithfully what will wickham say it was to be such a secret

if it was to be secret said jane say not another word on the

subject you may depend upon my seeking no further

oh certainly said elizabeth though burning with curiosity we will

ask you no questions

thank you said lydia for if you did i should certainly tell you

all and then wickham would be angry

on such encouragement to ask elizabeth was forced to put it out of her

power by running away

but to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible or at least

it was impossible not to try for information mr darcy had been at

her sisters wedding it was exactly a scene and exactly among people

where he had apparently least to do and least temptation to go

conjectures as to the meaning of it rapid and wild hurried into her

brain but she was satisfied with none those that best pleased her as

placing his conduct in the noblest light seemed most improbable she

could not bear such suspense and hastily seizing a sheet of paper

wrote a short letter to her aunt to request an explanation of what

lydia had dropt if it were compatible with the secrecy which had been

intended

you may readily comprehend she added what my curiosity must be

to know how a person unconnected with any of us and comparatively

speaking a stranger to our family should have been amongst you at such

a time pray write instantly and let me understand itunless it is

for very cogent reasons to remain in the secrecy which lydia seems

to think necessary and then i must endeavour to be satisfied with

ignorance

not that i shall though she added to herself as she finished

the letter and my dear aunt if you do not tell me in an honourable

manner i shall certainly be reduced to tricks and stratagems to find it

out

janes delicate sense of honour would not allow her to speak to

elizabeth privately of what lydia had let fall elizabeth was glad

of ittill it appeared whether her inquiries would receive any

satisfaction she had rather be without a confidante

chapter 

elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as

soon as she possibly could she was no sooner in possession of it

than hurrying into the little copse where she was least likely to

be interrupted she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to

be happy for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not

contain a denial

gracechurch street sept 

my dear niece

i have just received your letter and shall devote this whole morning

to answering it as i foresee that a little writing will not comprise

what i have to tell you i must confess myself surprised by your

application i did not expect it from you dont think me angry

however for i only mean to let you know that i had not imagined such

inquiries to be necessary on your side if you do not choose to

understand me forgive my impertinence your uncle is as much surprised

as i amand nothing but the belief of your being a party concerned

would have allowed him to act as he has done but if you are really

innocent and ignorant i must be more explicit

on the very day of my coming home from longbourn your uncle had a most

unexpected visitor mr darcy called and was shut up with him several

hours it was all over before i arrived so my curiosity was not so

dreadfully racked as yours seems to have been he came to tell mr

gardiner that he had found out where your sister and mr wickham were

and that he had seen and talked with them both wickham repeatedly

lydia once from what i can collect he left derbyshire only one day

after ourselves and came to town with the resolution of hunting for

them the motive professed was his conviction of its being owing to

himself that wickhams worthlessness had not been so well known as to

make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide

in him he generously imputed the whole to his mistaken pride and

confessed that he had before thought it beneath him to lay his private

actions open to the world his character was to speak for itself he

called it therefore his duty to step forward and endeavour to remedy

an evil which had been brought on by himself if he had another

motive i am sure it would never disgrace him he had been some days

in town before he was able to discover them but he had something to

direct his search which was more than we had and the consciousness

of this was another reason for his resolving to follow us

there is a lady it seems a mrs younge who was some time ago

governess to miss darcy and was dismissed from her charge on some cause

of disapprobation though he did not say what she then took a large

house in edwardstreet and has since maintained herself by letting

lodgings this mrs younge was he knew intimately acquainted with

wickham and he went to her for intelligence of him as soon as he got to

town but it was two or three days before he could get from her what he

wanted she would not betray her trust i suppose without bribery and

corruption for she really did know where her friend was to be found

wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival in london and had

she been able to receive them into her house they would have taken up

their abode with her at length however our kind friend procured the

wishedfor direction they were in  street he saw wickham and

afterwards insisted on seeing lydia his first object with her he

acknowledged had been to persuade her to quit her present disgraceful

situation and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed

on to receive her offering his assistance as far as it would go but

he found lydia absolutely resolved on remaining where she was she cared

for none of her friends she wanted no help of his she would not hear

of leaving wickham she was sure they should be married some time or

other and it did not much signify when since such were her feelings

it only remained he thought to secure and expedite a marriage which

in his very first conversation with wickham he easily learnt had never

been his design he confessed himself obliged to leave the regiment

on account of some debts of honour which were very pressing and

scrupled not to lay all the illconsequences of lydias flight on her

own folly alone he meant to resign his commission immediately and as

to his future situation he could conjecture very little about it he

must go somewhere but he did not know where and he knew he should have

nothing to live on

mr darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once though

mr bennet was not imagined to be very rich he would have been able

to do something for him and his situation must have been benefited by

marriage but he found in reply to this question that wickham still

cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in

some other country under such circumstances however he was not likely

to be proof against the temptation of immediate relief

they met several times for there was much to be discussed wickham of

course wanted more than he could get but at length was reduced to be

reasonable

every thing being settled between them mr darcys next step was to

make your uncle acquainted with it and he first called in gracechurch

street the evening before i came home but mr gardiner could not be

seen and mr darcy found on further inquiry that your father was

still with him but would quit town the next morning he did not judge

your father to be a person whom he could so properly consult as your

uncle and therefore readily postponed seeing him till after the

departure of the former he did not leave his name and till the next

day it was only known that a gentleman had called on business

on saturday he came again your father was gone your uncle at home

and as i said before they had a great deal of talk together

they met again on sunday and then i saw him too it was not all

settled before monday as soon as it was the express was sent off to

longbourn but our visitor was very obstinate i fancy lizzy that

obstinacy is the real defect of his character after all he has been

accused of many faults at different times but this is the true one

nothing was to be done that he did not do himself though i am sure and

i do not speak it to be thanked therefore say nothing about it your

uncle would most readily have settled the whole

they battled it together for a long time which was more than either

the gentleman or lady concerned in it deserved but at last your uncle

was forced to yield and instead of being allowed to be of use to his

niece was forced to put up with only having the probable credit of it

which went sorely against the grain and i really believe your letter

this morning gave him great pleasure because it required an explanation

that would rob him of his borrowed feathers and give the praise where

it was due but lizzy this must go no farther than yourself or jane

at most

you know pretty well i suppose what has been done for the young

people his debts are to be paid amounting i believe to considerably

more than a thousand pounds another thousand in addition to her own

settled upon her and his commission purchased the reason why all

this was to be done by him alone was such as i have given above it

was owing to him to his reserve and want of proper consideration that

wickhams character had been so misunderstood and consequently that he

had been received and noticed as he was perhaps there was some truth

in this though i doubt whether his reserve or anybodys reserve

can be answerable for the event but in spite of all this fine talking

my dear lizzy you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would

never have yielded if we had not given him credit for another

interest in the affair

when all this was resolved on he returned again to his friends who

were still staying at pemberley but it was agreed that he should be in

london once more when the wedding took place and all money matters were

then to receive the last finish

i believe i have now told you every thing it is a relation which

you tell me is to give you great surprise i hope at least it will not

afford you any displeasure lydia came to us and wickham had constant

admission to the house he was exactly what he had been when i

knew him in hertfordshire but i would not tell you how little i was

satisfied with her behaviour while she staid with us if i had not

perceived by janes letter last wednesday that her conduct on coming

home was exactly of a piece with it and therefore what i now tell

you can give you no fresh pain i talked to her repeatedly in the most

serious manner representing to her all the wickedness of what she had

done and all the unhappiness she had brought on her family if she

heard me it was by good luck for i am sure she did not listen i was

sometimes quite provoked but then i recollected my dear elizabeth and

jane and for their sakes had patience with her

mr darcy was punctual in his return and as lydia informed you

attended the wedding he dined with us the next day and was to leave

town again on wednesday or thursday will you be very angry with me my

dear lizzy if i take this opportunity of saying what i was never bold

enough to say before how much i like him his behaviour to us has

in every respect been as pleasing as when we were in derbyshire his

understanding and opinions all please me he wants nothing but a little

more liveliness and that if he marry prudently his wife may teach

him i thought him very slyhe hardly ever mentioned your name but

slyness seems the fashion

pray forgive me if i have been very presuming or at least do not

punish me so far as to exclude me from p i shall never be quite happy

till i have been all round the park a low phaeton with a nice little

pair of ponies would be the very thing

but i must write no more the children have been wanting me this half

hour

yours very sincerely

m gardiner

the contents of this letter threw elizabeth into a flutter of spirits

in which it was difficult to determine whether pleasure or pain bore the

greatest share the vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had

produced of what mr darcy might have been doing to forward her sisters

match which she had feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too

great to be probable and at the same time dreaded to be just from the

pain of obligation were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true

he had followed them purposely to town he had taken on himself all

the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research in which

supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and

despise and where he was reduced to meet frequently meet reason

with persuade and finally bribe the man whom he always most wished to

avoid and whose very name it was punishment to him to pronounce he had

done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem her

heart did whisper that he had done it for her but it was a hope shortly

checked by other considerations and she soon felt that even her vanity

was insufficient when required to depend on his affection for herfor

a woman who had already refused himas able to overcome a sentiment so

natural as abhorrence against relationship with wickham brotherinlaw

of wickham every kind of pride must revolt from the connection he had

to be sure done much she was ashamed to think how much but he had

given a reason for his interference which asked no extraordinary

stretch of belief it was reasonable that he should feel he had been

wrong he had liberality and he had the means of exercising it and

though she would not place herself as his principal inducement she

could perhaps believe that remaining partiality for her might assist

his endeavours in a cause where her peace of mind must be materially

concerned it was painful exceedingly painful to know that they were

under obligations to a person who could never receive a return they

owed the restoration of lydia her character every thing to him oh

how heartily did she grieve over every ungracious sensation she had ever

encouraged every saucy speech she had ever directed towards him for

herself she was humbled but she was proud of him proud that in a cause

of compassion and honour he had been able to get the better of himself

she read over her aunts commendation of him again and again it

was hardly enough but it pleased her she was even sensible of some

pleasure though mixed with regret on finding how steadfastly both she

and her uncle had been persuaded that affection and confidence subsisted

between mr darcy and herself

she was roused from her seat and her reflections by some ones

approach and before she could strike into another path she was

overtaken by wickham

i am afraid i interrupt your solitary ramble my dear sister said he

as he joined her

you certainly do she replied with a smile but it does not follow

that the interruption must be unwelcome

i should be sorry indeed if it were we were always good friends and

now we are better

true are the others coming out

i do not know mrs bennet and lydia are going in the carriage to

meryton and so my dear sister i find from our uncle and aunt that

you have actually seen pemberley

she replied in the affirmative

i almost envy you the pleasure and yet i believe it would be too much

for me or else i could take it in my way to newcastle and you saw the

old housekeeper i suppose poor reynolds she was always very fond of

me but of course she did not mention my name to you

yes she did

and what did she say

that you were gone into the army and she was afraid hadnot turned

out well at such a distance as that you know things are strangely

misrepresented

certainly he replied biting his lips elizabeth hoped she had

silenced him but he soon afterwards said

i was surprised to see darcy in town last month we passed each other

several times i wonder what he can be doing there

perhaps preparing for his marriage with miss de bourgh said

elizabeth it must be something particular to take him there at this

time of year

undoubtedly did you see him while you were at lambton i thought i

understood from the gardiners that you had

yes he introduced us to his sister

and do you like her

very much

i have heard indeed that she is uncommonly improved within this year

or two when i last saw her she was not very promising i am very glad

you liked her i hope she will turn out well

i dare say she will she has got over the most trying age

did you go by the village of kympton

i do not recollect that we did

i mention it because it is the living which i ought to have had a

most delightful placeexcellent parsonage house it would have suited

me in every respect

how should you have liked making sermons

exceedingly well i should have considered it as part of my duty

and the exertion would soon have been nothing one ought not to

repinebut to be sure it would have been such a thing for me the

quiet the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas

of happiness but it was not to be did you ever hear darcy mention the

circumstance when you were in kent

i have heard from authority which i thought as good that it was

left you conditionally only and at the will of the present patron

you have yes there was something in that i told you so from the

first you may remember

i did hear too that there was a time when sermonmaking was not

so palatable to you as it seems to be at present that you actually

declared your resolution of never taking orders and that the business

had been compromised accordingly

you did and it was not wholly without foundation you may remember

what i told you on that point when first we talked of it

they were now almost at the door of the house for she had walked fast

to get rid of him and unwilling for her sisters sake to provoke him

she only said in reply with a goodhumoured smile

come mr wickham we are brother and sister you know do not let

us quarrel about the past in future i hope we shall be always of one

mind

she held out her hand he kissed it with affectionate gallantry though

he hardly knew how to look and they entered the house

chapter 

mr wickham was so perfectly satisfied with this conversation that he

never again distressed himself or provoked his dear sister elizabeth

by introducing the subject of it and she was pleased to find that she

had said enough to keep him quiet

the day of his and lydias departure soon came and mrs bennet was

forced to submit to a separation which as her husband by no means

entered into her scheme of their all going to newcastle was likely to

continue at least a twelvemonth

oh my dear lydia she cried when shall we meet again

oh lord i dont know not these two or three years perhaps

write to me very often my dear

as often as i can but you know married women have never much time for

writing my sisters may write to me they will have nothing else to

do

mr wickhams adieus were much more affectionate than his wifes he

smiled looked handsome and said many pretty things

he is as fine a fellow said mr bennet as soon as they were out of

the house as ever i saw he simpers and smirks and makes love to

us all i am prodigiously proud of him i defy even sir william lucas

himself to produce a more valuable soninlaw

the loss of her daughter made mrs bennet very dull for several days

i often think said she that there is nothing so bad as parting with

ones friends one seems so forlorn without them

this is the consequence you see madam of marrying a daughter said

elizabeth it must make you better satisfied that your other four are

single

it is no such thing lydia does not leave me because she is married

but only because her husbands regiment happens to be so far off if

that had been nearer she would not have gone so soon

but the spiritless condition which this event threw her into was shortly

relieved and her mind opened again to the agitation of hope by an

article of news which then began to be in circulation the housekeeper

at netherfield had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her

master who was coming down in a day or two to shoot there for several

weeks mrs bennet was quite in the fidgets she looked at jane and

smiled and shook her head by turns

well well and so mr bingley is coming down sister for mrs

phillips first brought her the news well so much the better not

that i care about it though he is nothing to us you know and i am

sure i never want to see him again but however he is very welcome

to come to netherfield if he likes it and who knows what may happen

but that is nothing to us you know sister we agreed long ago never to

mention a word about it and so is it quite certain he is coming

you may depend on it replied the other for mrs nicholls was in

meryton last night i saw her passing by and went out myself on purpose

to know the truth of it and she told me that it was certain true he

comes down on thursday at the latest very likely on wednesday she was

going to the butchers she told me on purpose to order in some meat on

wednesday and she has got three couple of ducks just fit to be killed

miss bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing

colour it was many months since she had mentioned his name to

elizabeth but now as soon as they were alone together she said

i saw you look at me today lizzy when my aunt told us of the present

report and i know i appeared distressed but dont imagine it was from

any silly cause i was only confused for the moment because i felt that

i should be looked at i do assure you that the news does not affect

me either with pleasure or pain i am glad of one thing that he comes

alone because we shall see the less of him not that i am afraid of

myself but i dread other peoples remarks

elizabeth did not know what to make of it had she not seen him in

derbyshire she might have supposed him capable of coming there with no

other view than what was acknowledged but she still thought him partial

to jane and she wavered as to the greater probability of his coming

there with his friends permission or being bold enough to come

without it

yet it is hard she sometimes thought that this poor man cannot

come to a house which he has legally hired without raising all this

speculation i will leave him to himself

in spite of what her sister declared and really believed to be her

feelings in the expectation of his arrival elizabeth could easily

perceive that her spirits were affected by it they were more disturbed

more unequal than she had often seen them

the subject which had been so warmly canvassed between their parents

about a twelvemonth ago was now brought forward again

as soon as ever mr bingley comes my dear said mrs bennet you

will wait on him of course

no no you forced me into visiting him last year and promised if i

went to see him he should marry one of my daughters but it ended in

nothing and i will not be sent on a fools errand again

his wife represented to him how absolutely necessary such an attention

would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen on his returning to

netherfield

tis an etiquette i despise said he if he wants our society

let him seek it he knows where we live i will not spend my hours

in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back

again

well all i know is that it will be abominably rude if you do not wait

on him but however that shant prevent my asking him to dine here i

am determined we must have mrs long and the gouldings soon that will

make thirteen with ourselves so there will be just room at table for

him

consoled by this resolution she was the better able to bear her

husbands incivility though it was very mortifying to know that her

neighbours might all see mr bingley in consequence of it before

they did as the day of his arrival drew near

i begin to be sorry that he comes at all said jane to her sister it

would be nothing i could see him with perfect indifference but i can

hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of my mother means well

but she does not know no one can know how much i suffer from what she

says happy shall i be when his stay at netherfield is over

i wish i could say anything to comfort you replied elizabeth but it

is wholly out of my power you must feel it and the usual satisfaction

of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me because you have

always so much

mr bingley arrived mrs bennet through the assistance of servants

contrived to have the earliest tidings of it that the period of anxiety

and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could she counted

the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent

hopeless of seeing him before but on the third morning after his

arrival in hertfordshire she saw him from her dressingroom window

enter the paddock and ride towards the house

her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy jane resolutely

kept her place at the table but elizabeth to satisfy her mother went

to the windowshe lookedshe saw mr darcy with him and sat down

again by her sister

there is a gentleman with him mamma said kitty who can it be

some acquaintance or other my dear i suppose i am sure i do not

know

la replied kitty it looks just like that man that used to be with

him before mr whatshisname that tall proud man

good gracious mr darcyand so it does i vow well any friend of

mr bingleys will always be welcome here to be sure but else i must

say that i hate the very sight of him

jane looked at elizabeth with surprise and concern she knew but little

of their meeting in derbyshire and therefore felt for the awkwardness

which must attend her sister in seeing him almost for the first time

after receiving his explanatory letter both sisters were uncomfortable

enough each felt for the other and of course for themselves and their

mother talked on of her dislike of mr darcy and her resolution to be

civil to him only as mr bingleys friend without being heard by either

of them but elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be

suspected by jane to whom she had never yet had courage to shew mrs

gardiners letter or to relate her own change of sentiment towards him

to jane he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused

and whose merit she had undervalued but to her own more extensive

information he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted

for the first of benefits and whom she regarded herself with an

interest if not quite so tender at least as reasonable and just as

what jane felt for bingley her astonishment at his comingat his

coming to netherfield to longbourn and voluntarily seeking her again

was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered

behaviour in derbyshire

the colour which had been driven from her face returned for half a

minute with an additional glow and a smile of delight added lustre to

her eyes as she thought for that space of time that his affection and

wishes must still be unshaken but she would not be secure

let me first see how he behaves said she it will then be early

enough for expectation

she sat intently at work striving to be composed and without daring to

lift up her eyes till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of

her sister as the servant was approaching the door jane looked a little

paler than usual but more sedate than elizabeth had expected on the

gentlemens appearing her colour increased yet she received them with

tolerable ease and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any

symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance

elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow and sat down

again to her work with an eagerness which it did not often command she

had ventured only one glance at darcy he looked serious as usual and

she thought more as he had been used to look in hertfordshire than as

she had seen him at pemberley but perhaps he could not in her mothers

presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt it was a painful but

not an improbable conjecture

bingley she had likewise seen for an instant and in that short period

saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed he was received by mrs

bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed

especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of

her curtsey and address to his friend

elizabeth particularly who knew that her mother owed to the latter

the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy

was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill

applied

darcy after inquiring of her how mr and mrs gardiner did a question

which she could not answer without confusion said scarcely anything he

was not seated by her perhaps that was the reason of his silence but

it had not been so in derbyshire there he had talked to her friends

when he could not to herself but now several minutes elapsed without

bringing the sound of his voice and when occasionally unable to resist

the impulse of curiosity she raised her eyes to his face she as often

found him looking at jane as at herself and frequently on no object but

the ground more thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please than when

they last met were plainly expressed she was disappointed and angry

with herself for being so

could i expect it to be otherwise said she yet why did he come

she was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself and to

him she had hardly courage to speak

she inquired after his sister but could do no more

it is a long time mr bingley since you went away said mrs bennet

he readily agreed to it

i began to be afraid you would never come back again people did say

you meant to quit the place entirely at michaelmas but however i hope

it is not true a great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood

since you went away miss lucas is married and settled and one of my

own daughters i suppose you have heard of it indeed you must have

seen it in the papers it was in the times and the courier i know

though it was not put in as it ought to be it was only said lately

george wickham esq to miss lydia bennet without there being a

syllable said of her father or the place where she lived or anything

it was my brother gardiners drawing up too and i wonder how he came to

make such an awkward business of it did you see it

bingley replied that he did and made his congratulations elizabeth

dared not lift up her eyes how mr darcy looked therefore she could

not tell

it is a delightful thing to be sure to have a daughter well married

continued her mother but at the same time mr bingley it is very

hard to have her taken such a way from me they are gone down to

newcastle a place quite northward it seems and there they are to stay

i do not know how long his regiment is there for i suppose you have

heard of his leaving the shire and of his being gone into the

regulars thank heaven he has some friends though perhaps not so

many as he deserves

elizabeth who knew this to be levelled at mr darcy was in such

misery of shame that she could hardly keep her seat it drew from her

however the exertion of speaking which nothing else had so effectually

done before and she asked bingley whether he meant to make any stay in

the country at present a few weeks he believed

when you have killed all your own birds mr bingley said her mother

i beg you will come here and shoot as many as you please on mr

bennets manor i am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you and

will save all the best of the covies for you

elizabeths misery increased at such unnecessary such officious

attention were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had

flattered them a year ago every thing she was persuaded would be

hastening to the same vexatious conclusion at that instant she felt

that years of happiness could not make jane or herself amends for

moments of such painful confusion

the first wish of my heart said she to herself is never more to

be in company with either of them their society can afford no pleasure

that will atone for such wretchedness as this let me never see either

one or the other again

yet the misery for which years of happiness were to offer no

compensation received soon afterwards material relief from observing

how much the beauty of her sister rekindled the admiration of her

former lover when first he came in he had spoken to her but little

but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention he

found her as handsome as she had been last year as good natured and

as unaffected though not quite so chatty jane was anxious that no

difference should be perceived in her at all and was really persuaded

that she talked as much as ever but her mind was so busily engaged

that she did not always know when she was silent

when the gentlemen rose to go away mrs bennet was mindful of her

intended civility and they were invited and engaged to dine at

longbourn in a few days time

you are quite a visit in my debt mr bingley she added for when

you went to town last winter you promised to take a family dinner with

us as soon as you returned i have not forgot you see and i assure

you i was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep

your engagement

bingley looked a little silly at this reflection and said something of

his concern at having been prevented by business they then went away

mrs bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine

there that day but though she always kept a very good table she did

not think anything less than two courses could be good enough for a man

on whom she had such anxious designs or satisfy the appetite and pride

of one who had ten thousand a year

chapter 

as soon as they were gone elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits

or in other words to dwell without interruption on those subjects that

must deaden them more mr darcys behaviour astonished and vexed her

why if he came only to be silent grave and indifferent said she

did he come at all

she could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure

he could be still amiable still pleasing to my uncle and aunt when

he was in town and why not to me if he fears me why come hither if

he no longer cares for me why silent teasing teasing man i will

think no more about him

her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach

of her sister who joined her with a cheerful look which showed her

better satisfied with their visitors than elizabeth

now said she that this first meeting is over i feel perfectly

easy i know my own strength and i shall never be embarrassed again by

his coming i am glad he dines here on tuesday it will then be publicly

seen that on both sides we meet only as common and indifferent

acquaintance

yes very indifferent indeed said elizabeth laughingly oh jane

take care

my dear lizzy you cannot think me so weak as to be in danger now

i think you are in very great danger of making him as much in love with

you as ever

                              

they did not see the gentlemen again till tuesday and mrs bennet in

the meanwhile was giving way to all the happy schemes which the good

humour and common politeness of bingley in half an hours visit had

revived

on tuesday there was a large party assembled at longbourn and the two

who were most anxiously expected to the credit of their punctuality

as sportsmen were in very good time when they repaired to the

diningroom elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether bingley would take

the place which in all their former parties had belonged to him by

her sister her prudent mother occupied by the same ideas forbore

to invite him to sit by herself on entering the room he seemed to

hesitate but jane happened to look round and happened to smile it was

decided he placed himself by her

elizabeth with a triumphant sensation looked towards his friend

he bore it with noble indifference and she would have imagined that

bingley had received his sanction to be happy had she not seen his eyes

likewise turned towards mr darcy with an expression of halflaughing

alarm

his behaviour to her sister was such during dinner time as showed an

admiration of her which though more guarded than formerly persuaded

elizabeth that if left wholly to himself janes happiness and his

own would be speedily secured though she dared not depend upon the

consequence she yet received pleasure from observing his behaviour it

gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast for she was in

no cheerful humour mr darcy was almost as far from her as the table

could divide them he was on one side of her mother she knew how little

such a situation would give pleasure to either or make either appear to

advantage she was not near enough to hear any of their discourse but

she could see how seldom they spoke to each other and how formal and

cold was their manner whenever they did her mothers ungraciousness

made the sense of what they owed him more painful to elizabeths mind

and she would at times have given anything to be privileged to tell

him that his kindness was neither unknown nor unfelt by the whole of the

family

she was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity of

bringing them together that the whole of the visit would not pass away

without enabling them to enter into something more of conversation than

the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entrance anxious

and uneasy the period which passed in the drawingroom before the

gentlemen came was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her

uncivil she looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all

her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend

if he does not come to me then said she i shall give him up for

ever

the gentlemen came and she thought he looked as if he would have

answered her hopes but alas the ladies had crowded round the table

where miss bennet was making tea and elizabeth pouring out the coffee

in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her

which would admit of a chair and on the gentlemens approaching one of

the girls moved closer to her than ever and said in a whisper

the men shant come and part us i am determined we want none of them

do we

darcy had walked away to another part of the room she followed him with

her eyes envied everyone to whom he spoke had scarcely patience enough

to help anybody to coffee and then was enraged against herself for

being so silly

a man who has once been refused how could i ever be foolish enough to

expect a renewal of his love is there one among the sex who would not

protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman

there is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings

she was a little revived however by his bringing back his coffee cup

himself and she seized the opportunity of saying

is your sister at pemberley still

yes she will remain there till christmas

and quite alone have all her friends left her

mrs annesley is with her the others have been gone on to scarborough

these three weeks

she could think of nothing more to say but if he wished to converse

with her he might have better success he stood by her however for

some minutes in silence and at last on the young ladys whispering

to elizabeth again he walked away

when the teathings were removed and the cardtables placed the ladies

all rose and elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him

when all her views were overthrown by seeing him fall a victim to her

mothers rapacity for whist players and in a few moments after seated

with the rest of the party she now lost every expectation of pleasure

they were confined for the evening at different tables and she had

nothing to hope but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side

of the room as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself

mrs bennet had designed to keep the two netherfield gentlemen to

supper but their carriage was unluckily ordered before any of the

others and she had no opportunity of detaining them

well girls said she as soon as they were left to themselves what

say you to the day i think every thing has passed off uncommonly well

i assure you the dinner was as well dressed as any i ever saw the

venison was roasted to a turnand everybody said they never saw so

fat a haunch the soup was fifty times better than what we had at the

lucases last week and even mr darcy acknowledged that the partridges

were remarkably well done and i suppose he has two or three french

cooks at least and my dear jane i never saw you look in greater

beauty mrs long said so too for i asked her whether you did not and

what do you think she said besides ah mrs bennet we shall have her

at netherfield at last she did indeed i do think mrs long is as good

a creature as ever livedand her nieces are very pretty behaved girls

and not at all handsome i like them prodigiously

mrs bennet in short was in very great spirits she had seen enough of

bingleys behaviour to jane to be convinced that she would get him at

last and her expectations of advantage to her family when in a happy

humour were so far beyond reason that she was quite disappointed at

not seeing him there again the next day to make his proposals

it has been a very agreeable day said miss bennet to elizabeth the

party seemed so well selected so suitable one with the other i hope we

may often meet again

elizabeth smiled

lizzy you must not do so you must not suspect me it mortifies me

i assure you that i have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an

agreeable and sensible young man without having a wish beyond it i am

perfectly satisfied from what his manners now are that he never had

any design of engaging my affection it is only that he is blessed

with greater sweetness of address and a stronger desire of generally

pleasing than any other man

you are very cruel said her sister you will not let me smile and

are provoking me to it every moment

how hard it is in some cases to be believed

and how impossible in others

but why should you wish to persuade me that i feel more than i

acknowledge

that is a question which i hardly know how to answer we all love to

instruct though we can teach only what is not worth knowing forgive

me and if you persist in indifference do not make me your confidante

chapter 

a few days after this visit mr bingley called again and alone his

friend had left him that morning for london but was to return home in

ten days time he sat with them above an hour and was in remarkably

good spirits mrs bennet invited him to dine with them but with many

expressions of concern he confessed himself engaged elsewhere

next time you call said she i hope we shall be more lucky

he should be particularly happy at any time etc etc and if she would

give him leave would take an early opportunity of waiting on them

can you come tomorrow

yes he had no engagement at all for tomorrow and her invitation was

accepted with alacrity

he came and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them

dressed in ran mrs bennet to her daughters room in her dressing

gown and with her hair half finished crying out

my dear jane make haste and hurry down he is comemr bingley is

come he is indeed make haste make haste here sarah come to miss

bennet this moment and help her on with her gown never mind miss

lizzys hair

we will be down as soon as we can said jane but i dare say kitty is

forwarder than either of us for she went up stairs half an hour ago

oh hang kitty what has she to do with it come be quick be quick

where is your sash my dear

but when her mother was gone jane would not be prevailed on to go down

without one of her sisters

the same anxiety to get them by themselves was visible again in the

evening after tea mr bennet retired to the library as was his

custom and mary went up stairs to her instrument two obstacles of

the five being thus removed mrs bennet sat looking and winking at

elizabeth and catherine for a considerable time without making any

impression on them elizabeth would not observe her and when at last

kitty did she very innocently said what is the matter mamma what do

you keep winking at me for what am i to do

nothing child nothing i did not wink at you she then sat still

five minutes longer but unable to waste such a precious occasion she

suddenly got up and saying to kitty come here my love i want to

speak to you took her out of the room jane instantly gave a look

at elizabeth which spoke her distress at such premeditation and her

entreaty that she would not give in to it in a few minutes mrs

bennet halfopened the door and called out

lizzy my dear i want to speak with you

elizabeth was forced to go

we may as well leave them by themselves you know said her mother as

soon as she was in the hall kitty and i are going up stairs to sit in

my dressingroom

elizabeth made no attempt to reason with her mother but remained

quietly in the hall till she and kitty were out of sight then returned

into the drawingroom

mrs bennets schemes for this day were ineffectual bingley was every

thing that was charming except the professed lover of her daughter his

ease and cheerfulness rendered him a most agreeable addition to their

evening party and he bore with the illjudged officiousness of the

mother and heard all her silly remarks with a forbearance and command

of countenance particularly grateful to the daughter

he scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper and before he went

away an engagement was formed chiefly through his own and mrs

bennets means for his coming next morning to shoot with her husband

after this day jane said no more of her indifference not a word passed

between the sisters concerning bingley but elizabeth went to bed in

the happy belief that all must speedily be concluded unless mr darcy

returned within the stated time seriously however she felt tolerably

persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentlemans

concurrence

bingley was punctual to his appointment and he and mr bennet spent

the morning together as had been agreed on the latter was much more

agreeable than his companion expected there was nothing of presumption

or folly in bingley that could provoke his ridicule or disgust him into

silence and he was more communicative and less eccentric than the

other had ever seen him bingley of course returned with him to dinner

and in the evening mrs bennets invention was again at work to get

every body away from him and her daughter elizabeth who had a letter

to write went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea

for as the others were all going to sit down to cards she could not be

wanted to counteract her mothers schemes

but on returning to the drawingroom when her letter was finished she

saw to her infinite surprise there was reason to fear that her mother

had been too ingenious for her on opening the door she perceived her

sister and bingley standing together over the hearth as if engaged in

earnest conversation and had this led to no suspicion the faces of

both as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other would

have told it all their situation was awkward enough but hers she

thought was still worse not a syllable was uttered by either and

elizabeth was on the point of going away again when bingley who as

well as the other had sat down suddenly rose and whispering a few

words to her sister ran out of the room

jane could have no reserves from elizabeth where confidence would give

pleasure and instantly embracing her acknowledged with the liveliest

emotion that she was the happiest creature in the world

tis too much she added by far too much i do not deserve it oh

why is not everybody as happy

elizabeths congratulations were given with a sincerity a warmth

a delight which words could but poorly express every sentence of

kindness was a fresh source of happiness to jane but she would not

allow herself to stay with her sister or say half that remained to be

said for the present

i must go instantly to my mother she cried i would not on any

account trifle with her affectionate solicitude or allow her to hear it

from anyone but myself he is gone to my father already oh lizzy to

know that what i have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear

family how shall i bear so much happiness

she then hastened away to her mother who had purposely broken up the

card party and was sitting up stairs with kitty

elizabeth who was left by herself now smiled at the rapidity and ease

with which an affair was finally settled that had given them so many

previous months of suspense and vexation

and this said she is the end of all his friends anxious

circumspection of all his sisters falsehood and contrivance the

happiest wisest most reasonable end

in a few minutes she was joined by bingley whose conference with her

father had been short and to the purpose

where is your sister said he hastily as he opened the door

with my mother up stairs she will be down in a moment i dare say

he then shut the door and coming up to her claimed the good wishes

and affection of a sister elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed

her delight in the prospect of their relationship they shook hands with

great cordiality and then till her sister came down she had to listen

to all he had to say of his own happiness and of janes perfections

and in spite of his being a lover elizabeth really believed all his

expectations of felicity to be rationally founded because they had for

basis the excellent understanding and superexcellent disposition of

jane and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and

himself

it was an evening of no common delight to them all the satisfaction of

miss bennets mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face as

made her look handsomer than ever kitty simpered and smiled and hoped

her turn was coming soon mrs bennet could not give her consent or

speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings

though she talked to bingley of nothing else for half an hour and when

mr bennet joined them at supper his voice and manner plainly showed

how really happy he was

not a word however passed his lips in allusion to it till their

visitor took his leave for the night but as soon as he was gone he

turned to his daughter and said

jane i congratulate you you will be a very happy woman

jane went to him instantly kissed him and thanked him for his

goodness

you are a good girl he replied and i have great pleasure in

thinking you will be so happily settled i have not a doubt of your

doing very well together your tempers are by no means unlike you are

each of you so complying that nothing will ever be resolved on so

easy that every servant will cheat you and so generous that you will

always exceed your income

i hope not so imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be

unpardonable in me

exceed their income my dear mr bennet cried his wife what are you

talking of why he has four or five thousand a year and very likely

more then addressing her daughter oh my dear dear jane i am so

happy i am sure i shant get a wink of sleep all night i knew how it

would be i always said it must be so at last i was sure you could not

be so beautiful for nothing i remember as soon as ever i saw him when

he first came into hertfordshire last year i thought how likely it was

that you should come together oh he is the handsomest young man that

ever was seen

wickham lydia were all forgotten jane was beyond competition her

favourite child at that moment she cared for no other her younger

sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness

which she might in future be able to dispense

mary petitioned for the use of the library at netherfield and kitty

begged very hard for a few balls there every winter

bingley from this time was of course a daily visitor at longbourn

coming frequently before breakfast and always remaining till after

supper unless when some barbarous neighbour who could not be enough

detested had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself

obliged to accept

elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister for

while he was present jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else

but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours

of separation that must sometimes occur in the absence of jane he

always attached himself to elizabeth for the pleasure of talking of

her and when bingley was gone jane constantly sought the same means of

relief

he has made me so happy said she one evening by telling me that he

was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring i had not believed

it possible

i suspected as much replied elizabeth but how did he account for

it

it must have been his sisters doing they were certainly no friends to

his acquaintance with me which i cannot wonder at since he might have

chosen so much more advantageously in many respects but when they see

as i trust they will that their brother is happy with me they will

learn to be contented and we shall be on good terms again though we

can never be what we once were to each other

that is the most unforgiving speech said elizabeth that i ever

heard you utter good girl it would vex me indeed to see you again

the dupe of miss bingleys pretended regard

would you believe it lizzy that when he went to town last november

he really loved me and nothing but a persuasion of my being

indifferent would have prevented his coming down again

he made a little mistake to be sure but it is to the credit of his

modesty

this naturally introduced a panegyric from jane on his diffidence and

the little value he put on his own good qualities elizabeth was pleased

to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend for

though jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world she

knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him

i am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed cried

jane oh lizzy why am i thus singled from my family and blessed

above them all if i could but see you as happy if there were but

such another man for you

if you were to give me forty such men i never could be so happy as

you till i have your disposition your goodness i never can have your

happiness no no let me shift for myself and perhaps if i have very

good luck i may meet with another mr collins in time

the situation of affairs in the longbourn family could not be long a

secret mrs bennet was privileged to whisper it to mrs phillips

and she ventured without any permission to do the same by all her

neighbours in meryton

the bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the

world though only a few weeks before when lydia had first run away

they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune

chapter 

one morning about a week after bingleys engagement with jane had been

formed as he and the females of the family were sitting together in the

diningroom their attention was suddenly drawn to the window by the

sound of a carriage and they perceived a chaise and four driving up

the lawn it was too early in the morning for visitors and besides the

equipage did not answer to that of any of their neighbours the horses

were post and neither the carriage nor the livery of the servant who

preceded it were familiar to them as it was certain however that

somebody was coming bingley instantly prevailed on miss bennet to avoid

the confinement of such an intrusion and walk away with him into the

shrubbery they both set off and the conjectures of the remaining three

continued though with little satisfaction till the door was thrown

open and their visitor entered it was lady catherine de bourgh

they were of course all intending to be surprised but their

astonishment was beyond their expectation and on the part of mrs

bennet and kitty though she was perfectly unknown to them even

inferior to what elizabeth felt

she entered the room with an air more than usually ungracious made no

other reply to elizabeths salutation than a slight inclination of the

head and sat down without saying a word elizabeth had mentioned her

name to her mother on her ladyships entrance though no request of

introduction had been made

mrs bennet all amazement though flattered by having a guest of such

high importance received her with the utmost politeness after sitting

for a moment in silence she said very stiffly to elizabeth

i hope you are well miss bennet that lady i suppose is your

mother

elizabeth replied very concisely that she was

and that i suppose is one of your sisters

yes madam said mrs bennet delighted to speak to lady catherine

she is my youngest girl but one my youngest of all is lately married

and my eldest is somewhere about the grounds walking with a young man

who i believe will soon become a part of the family

you have a very small park here returned lady catherine after a short

silence

it is nothing in comparison of rosings my lady i dare say but i

assure you it is much larger than sir william lucass

this must be a most inconvenient sitting room for the evening in

summer the windows are full west

mrs bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner and then

added

may i take the liberty of asking your ladyship whether you left mr and

mrs collins well

yes very well i saw them the night before last

elizabeth now expected that she would produce a letter for her from

charlotte as it seemed the only probable motive for her calling but no

letter appeared and she was completely puzzled

mrs bennet with great civility begged her ladyship to take some

refreshment but lady catherine very resolutely and not very politely

declined eating anything and then rising up said to elizabeth

miss bennet there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness

on one side of your lawn i should be glad to take a turn in it if you

will favour me with your company

go my dear cried her mother and show her ladyship about the

different walks i think she will be pleased with the hermitage

elizabeth obeyed and running into her own room for her parasol

attended her noble guest downstairs as they passed through the

hall lady catherine opened the doors into the diningparlour and

drawingroom and pronouncing them after a short survey to be decent

looking rooms walked on

her carriage remained at the door and elizabeth saw that her

waitingwoman was in it they proceeded in silence along the gravel walk

that led to the copse elizabeth was determined to make no effort for

conversation with a woman who was now more than usually insolent and

disagreeable

how could i ever think her like her nephew said she as she looked in

her face

as soon as they entered the copse lady catherine began in the following

manner

you can be at no loss miss bennet to understand the reason of my

journey hither your own heart your own conscience must tell you why i

come

elizabeth looked with unaffected astonishment

indeed you are mistaken madam i have not been at all able to account

for the honour of seeing you here

miss bennet replied her ladyship in an angry tone you ought to

know that i am not to be trifled with but however insincere you may

choose to be you shall not find me so my character has ever been

celebrated for its sincerity and frankness and in a cause of such

moment as this i shall certainly not depart from it a report of a most

alarming nature reached me two days ago i was told that not only your

sister was on the point of being most advantageously married but that

you that miss elizabeth bennet would in all likelihood be soon

afterwards united to my nephew my own nephew mr darcy though i

know it must be a scandalous falsehood though i would not injure him

so much as to suppose the truth of it possible i instantly resolved

on setting off for this place that i might make my sentiments known to

you

if you believed it impossible to be true said elizabeth colouring

with astonishment and disdain i wonder you took the trouble of coming

so far what could your ladyship propose by it

at once to insist upon having such a report universally contradicted

your coming to longbourn to see me and my family said elizabeth

coolly will be rather a confirmation of it if indeed such a report

is in existence

if do you then pretend to be ignorant of it has it not been

industriously circulated by yourselves do you not know that such a

report is spread abroad

i never heard that it was

and can you likewise declare that there is no foundation for it

i do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship you may

ask questions which i shall not choose to answer

this is not to be borne miss bennet i insist on being satisfied has

he has my nephew made you an offer of marriage

your ladyship has declared it to be impossible

it ought to be so it must be so while he retains the use of his

reason but your arts and allurements may in a moment of infatuation

have made him forget what he owes to himself and to all his family you

may have drawn him in

if i have i shall be the last person to confess it

miss bennet do you know who i am i have not been accustomed to such

language as this i am almost the nearest relation he has in the world

and am entitled to know all his dearest concerns

but you are not entitled to know mine nor will such behaviour as this

ever induce me to be explicit

let me be rightly understood this match to which you have the

presumption to aspire can never take place no never mr darcy is

engaged to my daughter now what have you to say

only this that if he is so you can have no reason to suppose he will

make an offer to me

lady catherine hesitated for a moment and then replied

the engagement between them is of a peculiar kind from their infancy

they have been intended for each other it was the favourite wish of

his mother as well as of hers while in their cradles we planned

the union and now at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would

be accomplished in their marriage to be prevented by a young woman of

inferior birth of no importance in the world and wholly unallied to

the family do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends to his

tacit engagement with miss de bourgh are you lost to every feeling of

propriety and delicacy have you not heard me say that from his earliest

hours he was destined for his cousin

yes and i had heard it before but what is that to me if there is

no other objection to my marrying your nephew i shall certainly not

be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to

marry miss de bourgh you both did as much as you could in planning the

marriage its completion depended on others if mr darcy is neither

by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin why is not he to make

another choice and if i am that choice why may not i accept him

because honour decorum prudence nay interest forbid it yes

miss bennet interest for do not expect to be noticed by his family or

friends if you wilfully act against the inclinations of all you will

be censured slighted and despised by everyone connected with him

your alliance will be a disgrace your name will never even be mentioned

by any of us

these are heavy misfortunes replied elizabeth but the wife of mr

darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily

attached to her situation that she could upon the whole have no cause

to repine

obstinate headstrong girl i am ashamed of you is this your gratitude

for my attentions to you last spring is nothing due to me on that

score let us sit down you are to understand miss bennet that i came

here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose nor will

i be dissuaded from it i have not been used to submit to any persons

whims i have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment

that will make your ladyships situation at present more pitiable

but it will have no effect on me

i will not be interrupted hear me in silence my daughter and my

nephew are formed for each other they are descended on the maternal

side from the same noble line and on the fathers from respectable

honourable and ancientthough untitledfamilies their fortune on

both sides is splendid they are destined for each other by the voice of

every member of their respective houses and what is to divide them

the upstart pretensions of a young woman without family connections

or fortune is this to be endured but it must not shall not be if you

were sensible of your own good you would not wish to quit the sphere in

which you have been brought up

in marrying your nephew i should not consider myself as quitting that

sphere he is a gentleman i am a gentlemans daughter so far we are

equal

true you are a gentlemans daughter but who was your mother

who are your uncles and aunts do not imagine me ignorant of their

condition

whatever my connections may be said elizabeth if your nephew does

not object to them they can be nothing to you

tell me once for all are you engaged to him

though elizabeth would not for the mere purpose of obliging lady

catherine have answered this question she could not but say after a

moments deliberation

i am not

lady catherine seemed pleased

and will you promise me never to enter into such an engagement

i will make no promise of the kind

miss bennet i am shocked and astonished i expected to find a more

reasonable young woman but do not deceive yourself into a belief that

i will ever recede i shall not go away till you have given me the

assurance i require

and i certainly never shall give it i am not to be intimidated into

anything so wholly unreasonable your ladyship wants mr darcy to marry

your daughter but would my giving you the wishedfor promise make their

marriage at all more probable supposing him to be attached to me would

my refusing to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cousin

allow me to say lady catherine that the arguments with which you have

supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the

application was illjudged you have widely mistaken my character if

you think i can be worked on by such persuasions as these how far your

nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs i cannot tell

but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine i must beg

therefore to be importuned no farther on the subject

not so hasty if you please i have by no means done to all the

objections i have already urged i have still another to add i am

no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sisters infamous

elopement i know it all that the young mans marrying her was a

patchedup business at the expence of your father and uncles and is

such a girl to be my nephews sister is her husband is the son of his

late fathers steward to be his brother heaven and earthof what are

you thinking are the shades of pemberley to be thus polluted

you can now have nothing further to say she resentfully answered

you have insulted me in every possible method i must beg to return to

the house

and she rose as she spoke lady catherine rose also and they turned

back her ladyship was highly incensed

you have no regard then for the honour and credit of my nephew

unfeeling selfish girl do you not consider that a connection with you

must disgrace him in the eyes of everybody

lady catherine i have nothing further to say you know my sentiments

you are then resolved to have him

i have said no such thing i am only resolved to act in that manner

which will in my own opinion constitute my happiness without

reference to you or to any person so wholly unconnected with me

it is well you refuse then to oblige me you refuse to obey the

claims of duty honour and gratitude you are determined to ruin him in

the opinion of all his friends and make him the contempt of the world

neither duty nor honour nor gratitude replied elizabeth have any

possible claim on me in the present instance no principle of either

would be violated by my marriage with mr darcy and with regard to the

resentment of his family or the indignation of the world if the former

were excited by his marrying me it would not give me one moments

concernand the world in general would have too much sense to join in

the scorn

and this is your real opinion this is your final resolve very well

i shall now know how to act do not imagine miss bennet that your

ambition will ever be gratified i came to try you i hoped to find you

reasonable but depend upon it i will carry my point

in this manner lady catherine talked on till they were at the door of

the carriage when turning hastily round she added i take no leave

of you miss bennet i send no compliments to your mother you deserve

no such attention i am most seriously displeased

elizabeth made no answer and without attempting to persuade her

ladyship to return into the house walked quietly into it herself she

heard the carriage drive away as she proceeded up stairs her mother

impatiently met her at the door of the dressingroom to ask why lady

catherine would not come in again and rest herself

she did not choose it said her daughter she would go

she is a very finelooking woman and her calling here was prodigiously

civil for she only came i suppose to tell us the collinses were

well she is on her road somewhere i dare say and so passing through

meryton thought she might as well call on you i suppose she had

nothing particular to say to you lizzy

elizabeth was forced to give into a little falsehood here for to

acknowledge the substance of their conversation was impossible

chapter 

the discomposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw

elizabeth into could not be easily overcome nor could she for many

hours learn to think of it less than incessantly lady catherine it

appeared had actually taken the trouble of this journey from rosings

for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed engagement with mr

darcy it was a rational scheme to be sure but from what the report

of their engagement could originate elizabeth was at a loss to imagine

till she recollected that his being the intimate friend of bingley

and her being the sister of jane was enough at a time when the

expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another to supply

the idea she had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her

sister must bring them more frequently together and her neighbours

at lucas lodge therefore for through their communication with the

collinses the report she concluded had reached lady catherine had

only set that down as almost certain and immediate which she had looked

forward to as possible at some future time

in revolving lady catherines expressions however she could not help

feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence of her persisting

in this interference from what she had said of her resolution to

prevent their marriage it occurred to elizabeth that she must meditate

an application to her nephew and how he might take a similar

representation of the evils attached to a connection with her she dared

not pronounce she knew not the exact degree of his affection for his

aunt or his dependence on her judgment but it was natural to suppose

that he thought much higher of her ladyship than she could do and it

was certain that in enumerating the miseries of a marriage with one

whose immediate connections were so unequal to his own his aunt would

address him on his weakest side with his notions of dignity he would

probably feel that the arguments which to elizabeth had appeared weak

and ridiculous contained much good sense and solid reasoning

if he had been wavering before as to what he should do which had often

seemed likely the advice and entreaty of so near a relation might

settle every doubt and determine him at once to be as happy as dignity

unblemished could make him in that case he would return no more lady

catherine might see him in her way through town and his engagement to

bingley of coming again to netherfield must give way

if therefore an excuse for not keeping his promise should come to his

friend within a few days she added i shall know how to understand

it i shall then give over every expectation every wish of his

constancy if he is satisfied with only regretting me when he might

have obtained my affections and hand i shall soon cease to regret him

at all

                              

the surprise of the rest of the family on hearing who their visitor had

been was very great but they obligingly satisfied it with the same

kind of supposition which had appeased mrs bennets curiosity and

elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject

the next morning as she was going downstairs she was met by her

father who came out of his library with a letter in his hand

lizzy said he i was going to look for you come into my room

she followed him thither and her curiosity to know what he had to

tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner

connected with the letter he held it suddenly struck her that it

might be from lady catherine and she anticipated with dismay all the

consequent explanations

she followed her father to the fire place and they both sat down he

then said

i have received a letter this morning that has astonished me

exceedingly as it principally concerns yourself you ought to know its

contents i did not know before that i had two daughters on the brink

of matrimony let me congratulate you on a very important conquest

the colour now rushed into elizabeths cheeks in the instantaneous

conviction of its being a letter from the nephew instead of the aunt

and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained

himself at all or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to

herself when her father continued

you look conscious young ladies have great penetration in such matters

as these but i think i may defy even your sagacity to discover the

name of your admirer this letter is from mr collins

from mr collins and what can he have to say

something very much to the purpose of course he begins with

congratulations on the approaching nuptials of my eldest daughter of

which it seems he has been told by some of the goodnatured gossiping

lucases i shall not sport with your impatience by reading what he says

on that point what relates to yourself is as follows having thus

offered you the sincere congratulations of mrs collins and myself on

this happy event let me now add a short hint on the subject of another

of which we have been advertised by the same authority your daughter

elizabeth it is presumed will not long bear the name of bennet after

her elder sister has resigned it and the chosen partner of her fate may

be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in

this land

can you possibly guess lizzy who is meant by this this young

gentleman is blessed in a peculiar way with every thing the heart of

mortal can most desiresplendid property noble kindred and extensive

patronage yet in spite of all these temptations let me warn my cousin

elizabeth and yourself of what evils you may incur by a precipitate

closure with this gentlemans proposals which of course you will be

inclined to take immediate advantage of

have you any idea lizzy who this gentleman is but now it comes out

my motive for cautioning you is as follows we have reason to imagine

that his aunt lady catherine de bourgh does not look on the match with

a friendly eye

mr darcy you see is the man now lizzy i think i have

surprised you could he or the lucases have pitched on any man within

the circle of our acquaintance whose name would have given the lie

more effectually to what they related mr darcy who never looks at any

woman but to see a blemish and who probably never looked at you in his

life it is admirable

elizabeth tried to join in her fathers pleasantry but could only force

one most reluctant smile never had his wit been directed in a manner so

little agreeable to her

are you not diverted

oh yes pray read on

after mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last

night she immediately with her usual condescension expressed what she

felt on the occasion when it became apparent that on the score of some

family objections on the part of my cousin she would never give her

consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match i thought it my duty

to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin that she and

her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about and not run

hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned mr

collins moreover adds i am truly rejoiced that my cousin lydias sad

business has been so well hushed up and am only concerned that their

living together before the marriage took place should be so generally

known i must not however neglect the duties of my station or refrain

from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young

couple into your house as soon as they were married it was an

encouragement of vice and had i been the rector of longbourn i should

very strenuously have opposed it you ought certainly to forgive them

as a christian but never to admit them in your sight or allow their

names to be mentioned in your hearing that is his notion of christian

forgiveness the rest of his letter is only about his dear charlottes

situation and his expectation of a young olivebranch but lizzy you

look as if you did not enjoy it you are not going to be missish

i hope and pretend to be affronted at an idle report for what do we

live but to make sport for our neighbours and laugh at them in our

turn

oh cried elizabeth i am excessively diverted but it is so

strange

yesthat is what makes it amusing had they fixed on any other man

it would have been nothing but his perfect indifference and your

pointed dislike make it so delightfully absurd much as i abominate

writing i would not give up mr collinss correspondence for any

consideration nay when i read a letter of his i cannot help giving

him the preference even over wickham much as i value the impudence and

hypocrisy of my soninlaw and pray lizzy what said lady catherine

about this report did she call to refuse her consent

to this question his daughter replied only with a laugh and as it had

been asked without the least suspicion she was not distressed by

his repeating it elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her

feelings appear what they were not it was necessary to laugh when she

would rather have cried her father had most cruelly mortified her by

what he said of mr darcys indifference and she could do nothing but

wonder at such a want of penetration or fear that perhaps instead of

his seeing too little she might have fancied too much

chapter 

instead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend as

elizabeth half expected mr bingley to do he was able to bring darcy

with him to longbourn before many days had passed after lady catherines

visit the gentlemen arrived early and before mrs bennet had time

to tell him of their having seen his aunt of which her daughter sat

in momentary dread bingley who wanted to be alone with jane proposed

their all walking out it was agreed to mrs bennet was not in the

habit of walking mary could never spare time but the remaining five

set off together bingley and jane however soon allowed the others

to outstrip them they lagged behind while elizabeth kitty and darcy

were to entertain each other very little was said by either kitty

was too much afraid of him to talk elizabeth was secretly forming a

desperate resolution and perhaps he might be doing the same

they walked towards the lucases because kitty wished to call upon

maria and as elizabeth saw no occasion for making it a general concern

when kitty left them she went boldly on with him alone now was the

moment for her resolution to be executed and while her courage was

high she immediately said

mr darcy i am a very selfish creature and for the sake of giving

relief to my own feelings care not how much i may be wounding yours i

can no longer help thanking you for your unexampled kindness to my

poor sister ever since i have known it i have been most anxious to

acknowledge to you how gratefully i feel it were it known to the rest

of my family i should not have merely my own gratitude to express

i am sorry exceedingly sorry replied darcy in a tone of surprise

and emotion that you have ever been informed of what may in a

mistaken light have given you uneasiness i did not think mrs gardiner

was so little to be trusted

you must not blame my aunt lydias thoughtlessness first betrayed to

me that you had been concerned in the matter and of course i could

not rest till i knew the particulars let me thank you again and again

in the name of all my family for that generous compassion which induced

you to take so much trouble and bear so many mortifications for the

sake of discovering them

if you will thank me he replied let it be for yourself alone

that the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other

inducements which led me on i shall not attempt to deny but your

family owe me nothing much as i respect them i believe i thought

only of you

elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word after a short pause

her companion added you are too generous to trifle with me if your

feelings are still what they were last april tell me so at once my

affections and wishes are unchanged but one word from you will silence

me on this subject for ever

elizabeth feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of

his situation now forced herself to speak and immediately though not

very fluently gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone

so material a change since the period to which he alluded as to make

her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances the

happiness which this reply produced was such as he had probably never

felt before and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly and as

warmly as a man violently in love can be supposed to do had elizabeth

been able to encounter his eye she might have seen how well the

expression of heartfelt delight diffused over his face became him

but though she could not look she could listen and he told her of

feelings which in proving of what importance she was to him made his

affection every moment more valuable

they walked on without knowing in what direction there was too much to

be thought and felt and said for attention to any other objects she

soon learnt that they were indebted for their present good understanding

to the efforts of his aunt who did call on him in her return through

london and there relate her journey to longbourn its motive and the

substance of her conversation with elizabeth dwelling emphatically on

every expression of the latter which in her ladyships apprehension

peculiarly denoted her perverseness and assurance in the belief that

such a relation must assist her endeavours to obtain that promise

from her nephew which she had refused to give but unluckily for her

ladyship its effect had been exactly contrariwise

it taught me to hope said he as i had scarcely ever allowed myself

to hope before i knew enough of your disposition to be certain that

had you been absolutely irrevocably decided against me you would have

acknowledged it to lady catherine frankly and openly

elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied yes you know enough

of my frankness to believe me capable of that after abusing you so

abominably to your face i could have no scruple in abusing you to all

your relations

what did you say of me that i did not deserve for though your

accusations were illfounded formed on mistaken premises my

behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof it was

unpardonable i cannot think of it without abhorrence

we will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that

evening said elizabeth the conduct of neither if strictly examined

will be irreproachable but since then we have both i hope improved

in civility

i cannot be so easily reconciled to myself the recollection of what i

then said of my conduct my manners my expressions during the whole of

it is now and has been many months inexpressibly painful to me your

reproof so well applied i shall never forget had you behaved in a

more gentlemanlike manner those were your words you know not you can

scarcely conceive how they have tortured methough it was some time

i confess before i was reasonable enough to allow their justice

i was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an

impression i had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such

a way

i can easily believe it you thought me then devoid of every proper

feeling i am sure you did the turn of your countenance i shall never

forget as you said that i could not have addressed you in any possible

way that would induce you to accept me

oh do not repeat what i then said these recollections will not do at

all i assure you that i have long been most heartily ashamed of it

darcy mentioned his letter did it said he did it soon make you

think better of me did you on reading it give any credit to its

contents

she explained what its effect on her had been and how gradually all her

former prejudices had been removed

i knew said he that what i wrote must give you pain but it was

necessary i hope you have destroyed the letter there was one part

especially the opening of it which i should dread your having the

power of reading again i can remember some expressions which might

justly make you hate me

the letter shall certainly be burnt if you believe it essential to the

preservation of my regard but though we have both reason to think my

opinions not entirely unalterable they are not i hope quite so easily

changed as that implies

when i wrote that letter replied darcy i believed myself perfectly

calm and cool but i am since convinced that it was written in a

dreadful bitterness of spirit

the letter perhaps began in bitterness but it did not end so the

adieu is charity itself but think no more of the letter the feelings

of the person who wrote and the person who received it are now

so widely different from what they were then that every unpleasant

circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten you must learn some

of my philosophy think only of the past as its remembrance gives you

pleasure

i cannot give you credit for any philosophy of the kind your

retrospections must be so totally void of reproach that the contentment

arising from them is not of philosophy but what is much better of

innocence but with me it is not so painful recollections will intrude

which cannot which ought not to be repelled i have been a selfish

being all my life in practice though not in principle as a child i

was taught what was right but i was not taught to correct my temper i

was given good principles but left to follow them in pride and conceit

unfortunately an only son for many years an only child i was spoilt

by my parents who though good themselves my father particularly all

that was benevolent and amiable allowed encouraged almost taught

me to be selfish and overbearing to care for none beyond my own family

circle to think meanly of all the rest of the world to wish at least

to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own such i

was from eight to eight and twenty and such i might still have been

but for you dearest loveliest elizabeth what do i not owe you you

taught me a lesson hard indeed at first but most advantageous by you

i was properly humbled i came to you without a doubt of my reception

you showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman

worthy of being pleased

had you then persuaded yourself that i should

indeed i had what will you think of my vanity i believed you to be

wishing expecting my addresses

my manners must have been in fault but not intentionally i assure

you i never meant to deceive you but my spirits might often lead me

wrong how you must have hated me after that evening

hate you i was angry perhaps at first but my anger soon began to take

a proper direction

i am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me when we met at

pemberley you blamed me for coming

no indeed i felt nothing but surprise

your surprise could not be greater than mine in being noticed by you

my conscience told me that i deserved no extraordinary politeness and i

confess that i did not expect to receive more than my due

my object then replied darcy was to show you by every civility in

my power that i was not so mean as to resent the past and i hoped to

obtain your forgiveness to lessen your ill opinion by letting you

see that your reproofs had been attended to how soon any other wishes

introduced themselves i can hardly tell but i believe in about half an

hour after i had seen you

he then told her of georgianas delight in her acquaintance and of her

disappointment at its sudden interruption which naturally leading to

the cause of that interruption she soon learnt that his resolution of

following her from derbyshire in quest of her sister had been formed

before he quitted the inn and that his gravity and thoughtfulness

there had arisen from no other struggles than what such a purpose must

comprehend

she expressed her gratitude again but it was too painful a subject to

each to be dwelt on farther

after walking several miles in a leisurely manner and too busy to know

anything about it they found at last on examining their watches that

it was time to be at home

what could become of mr bingley and jane was a wonder which

introduced the discussion of their affairs darcy was delighted with

their engagement his friend had given him the earliest information of

it

i must ask whether you were surprised said elizabeth

not at all when i went away i felt that it would soon happen

that is to say you had given your permission i guessed as much and

though he exclaimed at the term she found that it had been pretty much

the case

on the evening before my going to london said he i made a

confession to him which i believe i ought to have made long ago i

told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference in his

affairs absurd and impertinent his surprise was great he had never had

the slightest suspicion i told him moreover that i believed myself

mistaken in supposing as i had done that your sister was indifferent

to him and as i could easily perceive that his attachment to her was

unabated i felt no doubt of their happiness together

elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing his

friend

did you speak from your own observation said she when you told him

that my sister loved him or merely from my information last spring

from the former i had narrowly observed her during the two visits

which i had lately made here and i was convinced of her affection

and your assurance of it i suppose carried immediate conviction to

him

it did bingley is most unaffectedly modest his diffidence had

prevented his depending on his own judgment in so anxious a case but

his reliance on mine made every thing easy i was obliged to confess

one thing which for a time and not unjustly offended him i could not

allow myself to conceal that your sister had been in town three months

last winter that i had known it and purposely kept it from him he was

angry but his anger i am persuaded lasted no longer than he remained

in any doubt of your sisters sentiments he has heartily forgiven me

now

elizabeth longed to observe that mr bingley had been a most delightful

friend so easily guided that his worth was invaluable but she checked

herself she remembered that he had yet to learn to be laughed at

and it was rather too early to begin in anticipating the happiness

of bingley which of course was to be inferior only to his own he

continued the conversation till they reached the house in the hall they

parted

chapter 

my dear lizzy where can you have been walking to was a question

which elizabeth received from jane as soon as she entered their room

and from all the others when they sat down to table she had only to

say in reply that they had wandered about till she was beyond her own

knowledge she coloured as she spoke but neither that nor anything

else awakened a suspicion of the truth

the evening passed quietly unmarked by anything extraordinary the

acknowledged lovers talked and laughed the unacknowledged were silent

darcy was not of a disposition in which happiness overflows in mirth

and elizabeth agitated and confused rather knew that she was happy

than felt herself to be so for besides the immediate embarrassment

there were other evils before her she anticipated what would be felt

in the family when her situation became known she was aware that no

one liked him but jane and even feared that with the others it was a

dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away

at night she opened her heart to jane though suspicion was very far

from miss bennets general habits she was absolutely incredulous here

you are joking lizzy this cannot beengaged to mr darcy no no

you shall not deceive me i know it to be impossible

this is a wretched beginning indeed my sole dependence was on you and

i am sure nobody else will believe me if you do not yet indeed i am

in earnest i speak nothing but the truth he still loves me and we are

engaged

jane looked at her doubtingly oh lizzy it cannot be i know how much

you dislike him

you know nothing of the matter that is all to be forgot perhaps i

did not always love him so well as i do now but in such cases as

these a good memory is unpardonable this is the last time i shall ever

remember it myself

miss bennet still looked all amazement elizabeth again and more

seriously assured her of its truth

good heaven can it be really so yet now i must believe you cried

jane my dear dear lizzy i wouldi do congratulate youbut are you

certain forgive the questionare you quite certain that you can be

happy with him

there can be no doubt of that it is settled between us already that

we are to be the happiest couple in the world but are you pleased

jane shall you like to have such a brother

very very much nothing could give either bingley or myself more

delight but we considered it we talked of it as impossible and do you

really love him quite well enough oh lizzy do anything rather than

marry without affection are you quite sure that you feel what you ought

to do

oh yes you will only think i feel more than i ought to do when i

tell you all

what do you mean

why i must confess that i love him better than i do bingley i am

afraid you will be angry

my dearest sister now be serious i want to talk very seriously let

me know every thing that i am to know without delay will you tell me

how long you have loved him

it has been coming on so gradually that i hardly know when it began

but i believe i must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds

at pemberley

another entreaty that she would be serious however produced the

desired effect and she soon satisfied jane by her solemn assurances

of attachment when convinced on that article miss bennet had nothing

further to wish

now i am quite happy said she for you will be as happy as myself

i always had a value for him were it for nothing but his love of you

i must always have esteemed him but now as bingleys friend and your

husband there can be only bingley and yourself more dear to me but

lizzy you have been very sly very reserved with me how little did you

tell me of what passed at pemberley and lambton i owe all that i know

of it to another not to you

elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy she had been unwilling

to mention bingley and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made

her equally avoid the name of his friend but now she would no longer

conceal from her his share in lydias marriage all was acknowledged

and half the night spent in conversation

                              

good gracious cried mrs bennet as she stood at a window the next

morning if that disagreeable mr darcy is not coming here again with

our dear bingley what can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always

coming here i had no notion but he would go ashooting or something or

other and not disturb us with his company what shall we do with him

lizzy you must walk out with him again that he may not be in bingleys

way

elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal yet

was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an

epithet

as soon as they entered bingley looked at her so expressively and

shook hands with such warmth as left no doubt of his good information

and he soon afterwards said aloud mrs bennet have you no more lanes

hereabouts in which lizzy may lose her way again today

i advise mr darcy and lizzy and kitty said mrs bennet to walk

to oakham mount this morning it is a nice long walk and mr darcy has

never seen the view

it may do very well for the others replied mr bingley but i am

sure it will be too much for kitty wont it kitty kitty owned that

she had rather stay at home darcy professed a great curiosity to see

the view from the mount and elizabeth silently consented as she went

up stairs to get ready mrs bennet followed her saying

i am quite sorry lizzy that you should be forced to have that

disagreeable man all to yourself but i hope you will not mind it it is

all for janes sake you know and there is no occasion for talking

to him except just now and then so do not put yourself to

inconvenience

during their walk it was resolved that mr bennets consent should be

asked in the course of the evening elizabeth reserved to herself the

application for her mothers she could not determine how her mother

would take it sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur

would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man but whether she

were violently set against the match or violently delighted with it it

was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit

to her sense and she could no more bear that mr darcy should hear

the first raptures of her joy than the first vehemence of her

disapprobation

                              

in the evening soon after mr bennet withdrew to the library she saw

mr darcy rise also and follow him and her agitation on seeing it was

extreme she did not fear her fathers opposition but he was going to

be made unhappy and that it should be through her meansthat she

his favourite child should be distressing him by her choice should be

filling him with fears and regrets in disposing of herwas a wretched

reflection and she sat in misery till mr darcy appeared again when

looking at him she was a little relieved by his smile in a few minutes

he approached the table where she was sitting with kitty and while

pretending to admire her work said in a whisper go to your father he

wants you in the library she was gone directly

her father was walking about the room looking grave and anxious

lizzy said he what are you doing are you out of your senses to be

accepting this man have not you always hated him

how earnestly did she then wish that her former opinions had been more

reasonable her expressions more moderate it would have spared her from

explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give

but they were now necessary and she assured him with some confusion

of her attachment to mr darcy

or in other words you are determined to have him he is rich to be

sure and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than jane

but will they make you happy

have you any other objection said elizabeth than your belief of my

indifference

none at all we all know him to be a proud unpleasant sort of man but

this would be nothing if you really liked him

i do i do like him she replied with tears in her eyes i love him

indeed he has no improper pride he is perfectly amiable you do not

know what he really is then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in

such terms

lizzy said her father i have given him my consent he is the kind

of man indeed to whom i should never dare refuse anything which he

condescended to ask i now give it to you if you are resolved on

having him but let me advise you to think better of it i know

your disposition lizzy i know that you could be neither happy nor

respectable unless you truly esteemed your husband unless you looked

up to him as a superior your lively talents would place you in the

greatest danger in an unequal marriage you could scarcely escape

discredit and misery my child let me not have the grief of seeing

you unable to respect your partner in life you know not what you are

about

elizabeth still more affected was earnest and solemn in her reply and

at length by repeated assurances that mr darcy was really the object

of her choice by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of

him had undergone relating her absolute certainty that his affection

was not the work of a day but had stood the test of many months

suspense and enumerating with energy all his good qualities she did

conquer her fathers incredulity and reconcile him to the match

well my dear said he when she ceased speaking i have no more to

say if this be the case he deserves you i could not have parted with

you my lizzy to anyone less worthy

to complete the favourable impression she then told him what mr darcy

had voluntarily done for lydia he heard her with astonishment

this is an evening of wonders indeed and so darcy did every thing

made up the match gave the money paid the fellows debts and got him

his commission so much the better it will save me a world of trouble

and economy had it been your uncles doing i must and would have

paid him but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own

way i shall offer to pay him tomorrow he will rant and storm about

his love for you and there will be an end of the matter

he then recollected her embarrassment a few days before on his reading

mr collinss letter and after laughing at her some time allowed her

at last to gosaying as she quitted the room if any young men come

for mary or kitty send them in for i am quite at leisure

elizabeths mind was now relieved from a very heavy weight and after

half an hours quiet reflection in her own room she was able to join

the others with tolerable composure every thing was too recent for

gaiety but the evening passed tranquilly away there was no longer

anything material to be dreaded and the comfort of ease and familiarity

would come in time

when her mother went up to her dressingroom at night she followed her

and made the important communication its effect was most extraordinary

for on first hearing it mrs bennet sat quite still and unable to

utter a syllable nor was it under many many minutes that she could

comprehend what she heard though not in general backward to credit

what was for the advantage of her family or that came in the shape of a

lover to any of them she began at length to recover to fidget about in

her chair get up sit down again wonder and bless herself

good gracious lord bless me only think dear me mr darcy who would

have thought it and is it really true oh my sweetest lizzy how rich

and how great you will be what pinmoney what jewels what carriages

you will have janes is nothing to itnothing at all i am so

pleasedso happy such a charming manso handsome so talloh my

dear lizzy pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before i

hope he will overlook it dear dear lizzy a house in town every thing

that is charming three daughters married ten thousand a year oh

lord what will become of me i shall go distracted

this was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted and

elizabeth rejoicing that such an effusion was heard only by herself

soon went away but before she had been three minutes in her own room

her mother followed her

my dearest child she cried i can think of nothing else ten

thousand a year and very likely more tis as good as a lord and a

special licence you must and shall be married by a special licence but

my dearest love tell me what dish mr darcy is particularly fond of

that i may have it tomorrow

this was a sad omen of what her mothers behaviour to the gentleman

himself might be and elizabeth found that though in the certain

possession of his warmest affection and secure of her relations

consent there was still something to be wished for but the morrow

passed off much better than she expected for mrs bennet luckily stood

in such awe of her intended soninlaw that she ventured not to speak to

him unless it was in her power to offer him any attention or mark her

deference for his opinion

elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get

acquainted with him and mr bennet soon assured her that he was rising

every hour in his esteem

i admire all my three sonsinlaw highly said he wickham perhaps

is my favourite but i think i shall like your husband quite as well

as janes

chapter 

elizabeths spirits soon rising to playfulness again she wanted mr

darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her how could

you begin said she i can comprehend your going on charmingly when

you had once made a beginning but what could set you off in the first

place

i cannot fix on the hour or the spot or the look or the words which

laid the foundation it is too long ago i was in the middle before i

knew that i had begun

my beauty you had early withstood and as for my mannersmy behaviour

to you was at least always bordering on the uncivil and i never spoke

to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not now be sincere

did you admire me for my impertinence

for the liveliness of your mind i did

you may as well call it impertinence at once it was very little less

the fact is that you were sick of civility of deference of officious

attention you were disgusted with the women who were always speaking

and looking and thinking for your approbation alone i roused and

interested you because i was so unlike them had you not been really

amiable you would have hated me for it but in spite of the pains you

took to disguise yourself your feelings were always noble and just and

in your heart you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously

courted you therei have saved you the trouble of accounting for

it and really all things considered i begin to think it perfectly

reasonable to be sure you knew no actual good of mebut nobody thinks

of that when they fall in love

was there no good in your affectionate behaviour to jane while she was

ill at netherfield

dearest jane who could have done less for her but make a virtue of it

by all means my good qualities are under your protection and you are

to exaggerate them as much as possible and in return it belongs to me

to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may

be and i shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling

to come to the point at last what made you so shy of me when you first

called and afterwards dined here why especially when you called did

you look as if you did not care about me

because you were grave and silent and gave me no encouragement

but i was embarrassed

and so was i

you might have talked to me more when you came to dinner

a man who had felt less might

how unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give and that

i should be so reasonable as to admit it but i wonder how long you

would have gone on if you had been left to yourself i wonder when

you would have spoken if i had not asked you my resolution of

thanking you for your kindness to lydia had certainly great effect

too much i am afraid for what becomes of the moral if our comfort

springs from a breach of promise for i ought not to have mentioned the

subject this will never do

you need not distress yourself the moral will be perfectly fair lady

catherines unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of

removing all my doubts i am not indebted for my present happiness to

your eager desire of expressing your gratitude i was not in a humour

to wait for any opening of yours my aunts intelligence had given me

hope and i was determined at once to know every thing

lady catherine has been of infinite use which ought to make her happy

for she loves to be of use but tell me what did you come down to

netherfield for was it merely to ride to longbourn and be embarrassed

or had you intended any more serious consequence

my real purpose was to see you and to judge if i could whether i

might ever hope to make you love me my avowed one or what i avowed to

myself was to see whether your sister were still partial to bingley

and if she were to make the confession to him which i have since made

shall you ever have courage to announce to lady catherine what is to

befall her

i am more likely to want more time than courage elizabeth but it

ought to be done and if you will give me a sheet of paper it shall be

done directly

and if i had not a letter to write myself i might sit by you and

admire the evenness of your writing as another young lady once did but

i have an aunt too who must not be longer neglected

from an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with mr darcy

had been overrated elizabeth had never yet answered mrs gardiners

long letter but now having that to communicate which she knew would

be most welcome she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and

aunt had already lost three days of happiness and immediately wrote as

follows

i would have thanked you before my dear aunt as i ought to have done

for your long kind satisfactory detail of particulars but to say the

truth i was too cross to write you supposed more than really existed

but now suppose as much as you choose give a loose rein to your

fancy indulge your imagination in every possible flight which the

subject will afford and unless you believe me actually married you

cannot greatly err you must write again very soon and praise him a

great deal more than you did in your last i thank you again and again

for not going to the lakes how could i be so silly as to wish it your

idea of the ponies is delightful we will go round the park every day i

am the happiest creature in the world perhaps other people have said so

before but not one with such justice i am happier even than jane she

only smiles i laugh mr darcy sends you all the love in the world that

he can spare from me you are all to come to pemberley at christmas

yours etc

mr darcys letter to lady catherine was in a different style and still

different from either was what mr bennet sent to mr collins in reply

to his last

dear sir

i must trouble you once more for congratulations elizabeth will soon

be the wife of mr darcy console lady catherine as well as you can

but if i were you i would stand by the nephew he has more to give

yours sincerely etc

miss bingleys congratulations to her brother on his approaching

marriage were all that was affectionate and insincere she wrote even

to jane on the occasion to express her delight and repeat all her

former professions of regard jane was not deceived but she was

affected and though feeling no reliance on her could not help writing

her a much kinder answer than she knew was deserved

the joy which miss darcy expressed on receiving similar information

was as sincere as her brothers in sending it four sides of paper were

insufficient to contain all her delight and all her earnest desire of

being loved by her sister

before any answer could arrive from mr collins or any congratulations

to elizabeth from his wife the longbourn family heard that the

collinses were come themselves to lucas lodge the reason of this

sudden removal was soon evident lady catherine had been rendered

so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephews letter that

charlotte really rejoicing in the match was anxious to get away till

the storm was blown over at such a moment the arrival of her friend

was a sincere pleasure to elizabeth though in the course of their

meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought when she

saw mr darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of

her husband he bore it however with admirable calmness he could even

listen to sir william lucas when he complimented him on carrying away

the brightest jewel of the country and expressed his hopes of their all

meeting frequently at st jamess with very decent composure if he did

shrug his shoulders it was not till sir william was out of sight

mrs phillipss vulgarity was another and perhaps a greater tax on his

forbearance and though mrs phillips as well as her sister stood in

too much awe of him to speak with the familiarity which bingleys good

humour encouraged yet whenever she did speak she must be vulgar

nor was her respect for him though it made her more quiet at all

likely to make her more elegant elizabeth did all she could to shield

him from the frequent notice of either and was ever anxious to keep

him to herself and to those of her family with whom he might converse

without mortification and though the uncomfortable feelings arising

from all this took from the season of courtship much of its pleasure it

added to the hope of the future and she looked forward with delight to

the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing

to either to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at

pemberley

chapter 

happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which mrs bennet got

rid of her two most deserving daughters with what delighted pride

she afterwards visited mrs bingley and talked of mrs darcy may

be guessed i wish i could say for the sake of her family that the

accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many

of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible

amiable wellinformed woman for the rest of her life though perhaps it

was lucky for her husband who might not have relished domestic felicity

in so unusual a form that she still was occasionally nervous and

invariably silly

mr bennet missed his second daughter exceedingly his affection for her

drew him oftener from home than anything else could do he delighted in

going to pemberley especially when he was least expected

mr bingley and jane remained at netherfield only a twelvemonth so near

a vicinity to her mother and meryton relations was not desirable even to

his easy temper or her affectionate heart the darling wish of his

sisters was then gratified he bought an estate in a neighbouring county

to derbyshire and jane and elizabeth in addition to every other source

of happiness were within thirty miles of each other

kitty to her very material advantage spent the chief of her time with

her two elder sisters in society so superior to what she had generally

known her improvement was great she was not of so ungovernable a

temper as lydia and removed from the influence of lydias example

she became by proper attention and management less irritable less

ignorant and less insipid from the further disadvantage of lydias

society she was of course carefully kept and though mrs wickham

frequently invited her to come and stay with her with the promise of

balls and young men her father would never consent to her going

mary was the only daughter who remained at home and she was necessarily

drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by mrs bennets being quite

unable to sit alone mary was obliged to mix more with the world but

she could still moralize over every morning visit and as she was no

longer mortified by comparisons between her sisters beauty and her own

it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without

much reluctance

as for wickham and lydia their characters suffered no revolution from

the marriage of her sisters he bore with philosophy the conviction that

elizabeth must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude

and falsehood had before been unknown to her and in spite of every

thing was not wholly without hope that darcy might yet be prevailed on

to make his fortune the congratulatory letter which elizabeth received

from lydia on her marriage explained to her that by his wife at least

if not by himself such a hope was cherished the letter was to this

effect

my dear lizzy

i wish you joy if you love mr darcy half as well as i do my dear

wickham you must be very happy it is a great comfort to have you so

rich and when you have nothing else to do i hope you will think of us

i am sure wickham would like a place at court very much and i do not

think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help

any place would do of about three or four hundred a year but however

do not speak to mr darcy about it if you had rather not

yours etc

as it happened that elizabeth had much rather not she endeavoured in

her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind

such relief however as it was in her power to afford by the practice

of what might be called economy in her own private expences she

frequently sent them it had always been evident to her that such an

income as theirs under the direction of two persons so extravagant in

their wants and heedless of the future must be very insufficient to

their support and whenever they changed their quarters either jane or

herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance

towards discharging their bills their manner of living even when the

restoration of peace dismissed them to a home was unsettled in the

extreme they were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap

situation and always spending more than they ought his affection for

her soon sunk into indifference hers lasted a little longer and

in spite of her youth and her manners she retained all the claims to

reputation which her marriage had given her

though darcy could never receive him at pemberley yet for

elizabeths sake he assisted him further in his profession lydia was

occasionally a visitor there when her husband was gone to enjoy himself

in london or bath and with the bingleys they both of them frequently

staid so long that even bingleys good humour was overcome and he

proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone

miss bingley was very deeply mortified by darcys marriage but as she

thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at pemberley she

dropt all her resentment was fonder than ever of georgiana almost as

attentive to darcy as heretofore and paid off every arrear of civility

to elizabeth

pemberley was now georgianas home and the attachment of the sisters

was exactly what darcy had hoped to see they were able to love each

other even as well as they intended georgiana had the highest opinion

in the world of elizabeth though at first she often listened with

an astonishment bordering on alarm at her lively sportive manner of

talking to her brother he who had always inspired in herself a respect

which almost overcame her affection she now saw the object of open

pleasantry her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen

in her way by elizabeths instructions she began to comprehend that

a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not

always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself

lady catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew

and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in

her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement she sent him

language so very abusive especially of elizabeth that for some time

all intercourse was at an end but at length by elizabeths persuasion

he was prevailed on to overlook the offence and seek a reconciliation

and after a little further resistance on the part of his aunt her

resentment gave way either to her affection for him or her curiosity

to see how his wife conducted herself and she condescended to wait

on them at pemberley in spite of that pollution which its woods had

received not merely from the presence of such a mistress but the

visits of her uncle and aunt from the city

with the gardiners they were always on the most intimate terms

darcy as well as elizabeth really loved them and they were both ever

sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who by bringing

her into derbyshire had been the means of uniting them
