and me�察�we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of 

our   lives�察  �for   a   whole   day¨s   t┷te´┐´t┷te   between   two   women   can

officers。 Yours ever�察�

of that。¨

    `Dining out�察� said Mrs。 Bennet�察 �that is very unlucky。¨ 

    `Can I have the carriage�拭� said Jane。 

    `No�察�my dear�察�you had better go on horseback�察�because it seems 

likely to rain�察�and then you must stay all night。¨ 

    `That would be a good scheme�察� said Elizabeth�察 �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�察�and the Hursts have no horses to theirs。¨ 

    `I had much rather go in the coach。¨ 

    `But�察  �my  dear�察  �your  father  cannot  spare   the   horses�察  �I am   sure。 

They are wanted in the farm�察�Mr。 Bennet�察�are not they�拭� 

    `They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them。¨ 

    `But if you have got them to´day�察� said   Elizabeth�察   �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�察  �and   her   mother   attended   her   to   the   door   with   many 

cheerful prognostics of a bad day。 Her hopes were answered�察�Jane 

had   not   been   gone   long   before   it   rained   hard。   Her   sisters   were 

uneasy for her�察�but her mother was delighted。 The rain continued 

the   whole   evening  without   intermission�察  �Jane   certainly   could   not 

come back。 

    `This was a lucky idea of mine�察�indeed� � said Mrs。 Bennet�察�more 

than once�察�as if the credit of making it rain were all her own。 Till 

the next morning�察�however�察�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�此�



`My dearest Lizzy�察�

    `I find myself very unwell this morning�察�which�察�I suppose is to be 

imputed to my getting wet through yesterday。 My kind friends will 

not hear of my returning home 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 

head´ache there is not much the matter with me。 

                                                                        `Yours�察�&c。¨ 



    `Well�察�my dear�察� said Mr。 Bennet�察�when Elizabeth   had   read   the 

note aloud�察 �if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness�察�

if she should die�察�it would be a comfort to know that  it  was  all in 

pursuit of Mr。 Bingley�察�and under your orders。¨ 

    `Oh� �I am not at all 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�察�it is all very well。 I would go and see her�察�if I could have the 

carriage。¨ 

    Elizabeth�察  �feeling   really   anxious�察  �was   determined   to   go   to   her�察�

though the  carriage  was not  to  be   had�察  �and as she  was no  horse´ 

woman�察      �walking     was    her    only   alternative。     She    declared     her 

resolution。 

    `How can you be so silly�察� cried her mother�察 �as to think of such a 

thing�察�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�察  �Lizzy�察�   said   her   father�察   �to   send   for   the 

horses�拭� 

    `No�察  �indeed。   I   do   not   wish   to   avoid   the   walk。   The   distance   is 

nothing�察�when one has a motive�察�only three miles。 I shall be back 

by dinner。¨

    `I admire the activity of your benevolence�察� observed Mary�察 �but 

every   impulse   of   feeling   should   be   guided   by   reason�察  �and�察  �in   my 

opinion�察     �exertion    should     always     be   in  proportion      to  what     is 

required。¨ 

    `We   will   go   as   far   as   Meryton  with   you�察�   said   Catherine   and 

Lydia。!Elizabeth   accepted   their   company�察  �and   the   three   young 

ladies set off together。 

    `If  we   make   haste�察�   said   Lydia�察  �as   they   walked   along�察   �perhaps 

we may see something of Captain Carter before he goes。¨ 

    In   Meryton      they   parted�察    �the   two   youngest      repaired    to   the 

lodgings of one of the officers¨ wives�察�and Elizabeth continued her 

walk alone�察�crossing field after field at a quick pace�察�jumping over 

stiles   and    springing     over   puddles     with    impatient     activity�察  �and 

finding herself at last within view of the house�察�with weary ancles�察�

dirty stockings�察�and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise。 

    She   was   shewn   into   the   breakfast´parlour�察  �where   all   but   Jane 

were assembled�察�and where her appearance created a great deal of 

surprise。!That she should have walked three miles so early in the 

day�察�in such dirty weather�察�and by herself was almost incredible to 

Mrs。   Hurst   and   Miss   Bingley�察  �and   Elizabeth   was   convinced   that 

they held her in contempt for it。 She was received�察�however�察�very 

politely     by   them�察   �and    in   their   brother¨s     manners      there    was 

something   better       than    politeness�察   �there    was   good    humour      and 

kindness。 Mr。 Darcy said very little�察�and Mr。 Hurst nothing at  all。 

The     former     was   divided     between     admiration      of   the   brilliancy 

which  exercise   had   given   to  her  complexion�察�and  doubt  as   to   the 

occasion¨s      justifying    her   coming     so   far  alone。    The    latter   was 

thinking only of his breakfast。 

    Her     enquiries     after    her   sister    were     not   very    favourably

answered。       Miss   Bennet     had    slept  ill�察 �and  though     up�察  �was   very 

feverish and not well enough to leave her room。 Elizabeth was glad 

to   be   taken   to   her   immediately�察    �and    Jane�察  �who    had    only   been 

withheld      by   the   fear   of  giving    alarm     or  inconvenience�察       �from

conversation�察      �and   when     Miss   Bingley     left  them    together�察   �could 

attempt little beside expressions of gratitude for the extraordinary 

kindness she was treated with。 Elizabeth silently attended her。

Elizabeth   began   to   like   them   herself�察  �when   she   saw   how   much
