soon。¨ 

    But the spiritless condition which this event threw her into�察�was 

shortly   relieved�察  �and   her   mind   opened   again   to   the   agitation   of 

hope�察�by an article of news�察�which then began to be in circulation。 

The housekeeper at Netherfield had received orders to prepare for 

the arrival of her master�察�who was coming down in a day or two�察�to 

shoot     there    for   several    weeks。     Mrs。    Bennet     was    quite    in   the 

fidgets。   She   looked   at   Jane�察  �and   smiled�察  �and   shook   her   head   by 

turns。 

    `Well�察�well�察�and so Mr。 Bingley is coming down�察�sister�察� ��for Mrs。 

Phillips first brought her the news。�� `Well�察�so much the better。 Not 

that I care about it�察�though。 He is nothing to us�察�you know�察�and I 

am sure I  never  want  to  see   him again。   But�察  �however�察  �he   is   very 

welcome   to   come   to   Netherfield�察  �if   he   likes   it。   And   who   knows 

what may happen�拭�But that is nothing to us。 You know�察�sister�察�we 

agreed   long   ago   never   to   mention   a   word   about   it。   And   so�察  �is   it 

quite certain he is coming�拭� 

    `You may depend on it�察� replied the other�察 �for Mrs。 Nicholls was 

in Meryton last night�察�I saw her passing by�察�and   went  out  myself 

on   purpose   to   know   the   truth   of   it�察  �and   she   told   me   that   it   was 

certain true。 He comes down on Thursday at the latest�察�very likely 

on   Wednesday。   She   was   going   to   the   butcher¨s�察  �she   told   me�察  �on 

purpose   to   order   in   some   meat   on   Wednesday�察  �and   she   has   got

three couple of ducks�察�just fit to be killed。¨ 

    Miss Bennet had not been able to hear  of  his  coming�察  �without 

changing colour。 It was many months since she had mentioned his 

name to Elizabeth�察�but now�察�as soon as they were alone together�察�

she said�察�

    `I saw you look at me to´day�察�Lizzy�察�when my aunt told us of the 

present      report�察  �and    I  know     I  appeared      distressed。    But    don¨t 

imagine   it   was   from   any   silly  cause。   I   was   only   confused   for   the 

moment�察�because I felt that I should be looked at。 I do assure you�察�

that the news does not affect me either with pleasure or pain。 I am 

glad   of  one   thing�察  �that  he   comes alone�察  �because   we   shall   see   the 

less   of  him。   Not   that    I  am   afraid   of  myself�察 �but    I  dread    other 

people¨s remarks。¨ 

    Elizabeth   did   not   know   what   to   make   of  it。   Had   she   not   seen 

him     in  Derbyshire�察     �she   might     have    supposed      him    capable    of 

coming   there�察  �with   no   other   view   than   what   was   acknowledged�察�

but she still thought him partial to Jane�察�and she wavered as to the 

greater      probability      of   his    coming      there   with    his     friend¨s 

permission�察�or being bold enough to come without it。 

    `Yet   it   is  hard�察�  she  sometimes   thought�察        �that   this  poor   man 

cannot      come    to  a   house�察   �which    he   has   legally   hired�察   �without 

raising all this speculation� �I will leave him to himself。¨ 

    In   spite   of   what   her   sister   declared�察  �and   really   believed   to   be 

her    feelings�察  �in   the  expectation      of  his   arrival�察  �Elizabeth     could 

easily perceive that her spirits were affected by it。 They were more 

disturbed�察�more unequal�察�than she had often seen them。 

    The    subject    which     had   been    so   warmly     canvassed      between 

their parents�察�about a twelvemonth ago�察�was now brought forward 

again。

    `As soon as ever Mr Bingley comes�察�my dear�察� said Mrs。 Bennet�察�

`you will wait on him of course。¨ 

    `No�察�no。 You forced me into visiting him last year�察�and promised 

if I went to see him�察�he should marry one of my daughters。 But it 

ended in nothing�察�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�察  �on   his 

returning to Netherfield。 

    `¨Tis an etiquette I despise�察� said he。 `If he wants our society�察�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�察�and come 

back again。¨ 

    `Well�察�all I know is�察�that it will be abominably rude if you do not 

wait on him。 But�察�however�察�that shan¨t prevent my asking him to 

dine   here�察  �I   am   determined。   We   must   have   Mrs。   Long   and   the 

Gouldings soon。 That  will make   thirteen   with  ourselves�察  �so  there 

will be just room at table for him。¨ 

    Consoled by this resolution�察�she was the better able to bear her 

husband¨s   incivility�察  �though   it   was   very   mortifying   to   know   that 

her   neighbours   might   all   see   Mr。   Bingley   in   consequence   of   it�察�

before they did。 As the day of his arrival drew near�察�

    `I begin to be sorry that he comes at all�察� said Jane to her sister。 

`It would be nothing�察�I could see him with perfect indifference�察�but 

I can hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of。 My mother 

means well�察�but she does not know�察�no one can know how much I 

suffer   from   what   she     says。  Happy   shall     I   be�察 �when   his  stay   at 

Netherfield is over� � 

    `I wish I could say any thing to comfort you�察� replied Elizabeth�察�

`but it is wholly out of my power。 You must feel it�察�and the usual

satisfaction     of  preaching      patience     to  a  sufferer    is  denied    me�察�

because you have always so much。¨ 

    Mr。    Bingley   arrived。     Mrs。   Bennet�察   �through     the   assistance    of 

servants�察�contrived to have the earliest tidings of it�察�that the period 

of anxiety and fretfulness on her side�察�might be as long as it could。 

She   counted   the   days   that  must  intervene before   their  invitation 

could   be   sent�察  �hopeless   of   seeing   him   before。   But   on   the   third 

morning after his arrival in Hertfordshire�察  �she saw  him   from   her 

dressing´room   window�察  �enter   the   paddock�察  �and   ride   towards   the 

house。 

    Her  daughters   were   eagerly  called   to   partake   of   her   joy。   Jane 

resolutely kept her place at the table�察�but Elizabeth�察�to satisfy her 

mother�察     �went   to   the   window!she   looked�察�she            saw   Mr。   Darcy 

with him�察�and sat down again by her sister。 

    `There is a gentleman with him�察�mamma�察� said Kitty�察 �who can it 

be�拭� 

    `Some acquaintance or other�察�my dear�察�I suppose�察�I am sure I do 

not know。¨ 

    `La� �   replied   Kitty�察   �it   looks   just   like   that  man   that   used   to   be 

with him before。 Mr。 what¨s his name。 That tall�察�proud man。¨ 

    `Good   gracious�   �Mr。   Darcy� �and   so   it   does   I   vow。   Well�察  �any 

friend of Mr。 Bingley¨s will always be welcome here to be sure�察�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�察�and therefore felt for the 

awkwardness which must attend her sister�察�in seeing  him almost 

for the first time after receiving his explanatory letter。 Both sisters 

were uncomfortable enough。 Each felt for the other�察�and of course 

for  themse
