please�察�on Mr。 Bennet¨s manor。 I am sure he will be vastly happy 

to oblige you�察�and will save all the best of the covies for you。¨ 

    Elizabeth¨s       misery     increased�察     �at   such     unnecessary�察       �such 

officious attention� �Were the same fair prospect to arise at present�察�

as had flattered them a year ago�察�every thing�察�she was persuaded�察�

would      be  hastening      to  the   same    vexatious      conclusion。     At   that 

instant   she   felt�察  �that   years   of   happiness   could   not   make   Jane   or 

herself amends�察�for moments of such painful confusion。 

    `The first wish of my heart�察� said she to herself�察 �is never more to 

be   in   company   with   either   of   them。   Their   society   can   afford   no 

pleasure�察  �that   will   atone   for   such   wretchedness   as   this�   �Let   me 

never see either one or the other again� � 

    Yet  the   misery�察  �for   which   years   of   happiness   were   to   offer   no 

compensation�察        �received      soon    afterwards      material     relief�察  �from 

observing       how    much      the   beauty    of   her   sister   re´kindled      the 

admiration   of   her   former   lover。   When   first   he   came   in�察  �he   had

spoken to her but little�察�but every five minutes seemed to be giving 

her more of his attention。 He found her as handsome as she   had 

been   last   year�察  �as   good´natured�察  �and   as   unaffected�察  �though   not 

quite   so   chatty。   Jane   was   anxious   that   no   difference   should   be 

perceived in her at all�察�and was really persuaded that she talked as 

much as  ever。   But  her  mind  was so  busily  engaged�察  �that  she did 

not always know when she was silent。 

   When the gentlemen rose to go away�察�Mrs。 Bennet was mindful 

of her intended civility�察�and they were invited and engaged to dine 

at Longbourn in a few days time。 

    `You are quite a visit in my debt�察�Mr。 Bingley�察� she   added�察   �for 

when you went to town last winter�察�you promised to take a family 

dinner with us�察�as soon as you returned。 I have not forgot�察�you see�察�

and I assure you�察�I was very much disappointed that you did not 

come back and keep your engagement。¨ 

    Bingley looked a little silly at this reflection�察�and said something 

of his concern�察�at having been  prevented by  business。   They  then 

went away。 

    Mrs。 Bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and 

dine there�察�that day�察�but�察�though she always kept a very good table�察�

she did not think any thing less than two  courses�察  �could be   good 

enough   for   a   man�察  �on   whom   she   had   such   anxious   designs�察  �or 

satisfy the appetite and pride of one who had ten thousand a´year。

                             CHAPTER XII 



           s soon as they were gone�察�Elizabeth walked out to recover 

Aher               spirits�察  �or   in   other     words�察    �to   dwell    without 

           interruption      on   those   subjects   that   must    deaden    them 

more。 Mr。 Darcy¨s behaviour astonished and vexed her。 

    `Why�察�if he came only to be silent�察�grave�察�and indifferent�察� said 

she�察 �did he come at all�拭� 

    She could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure。 

    `He could be still amiable�察�still pleasing�察�to my uncle and aunt�察�

when   he   was   in   town�察  �and   why   not   to   me�拭  �If   he   fears   me�察  �why 

come   hither�拭  �If   he   no   longer   cares   for   me�察  �why   silent�拭  �Teazing�察�

teazing�察�man� �I will think no more about him。¨ 

    Her   resolution   was   for   a   short   time   involuntarily   kept   by   the 

approach of her sister�察�who joined her with a cheerful look�察�which 

shewed her better satisfied with their visitors�察�than Elizabeth。 

    `Now�察�   said she�察   �that  this   first meeting  is   over�察  �I   feel   perfectly 

easy。 I know my own strength�察�and I shall never be   embarrassed 

again by his coming。 I am glad he dines   here  on   Tuesday。   It  will 

then be publicly seen�察�that on both sides�察�we meet only as common 

and indifferent acquaintance。¨ 

    `Yes�察  �very   indifferent   indeed�察�   said   Elizabeth�察  �laughingly。   `Oh�察�

Jane�察�take care。¨ 

    `My dear Lizzy�察�you cannot think me so weak�察�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�察  �and   Mrs。 

Bennet�察     �in  the   meanwhile�察      �was   giving    way    to  all  the   happy 

schemes�察     �which     the  good    humour�察     �and   common       politeness     of 

Bingley�察�in half an hour¨s visit�察�had revived。 

    On Tuesday there was a   large   party  assembled   at  Longbourn�察�

and  the   two�察  �who  were   most  anxiously   expected�察  �to   the   credit   of 

their punctuality as sportsmen�察�were in very good time。 When they 

repaired     to  the   dining´room�察     �Elizabeth     eagerly    watched     to  see 

whether  Bingley  would   take   the   place�察  �which�察  �in all   their   former 

parties�察�had belonged to him�察�by  her  sister。   Her  prudent  mother�察�

occupied by the same ideas�察�forbore to invite him to sit by herself。 

On entering the room�察�he seemed to hesitate�察�but Jane happened 

to look round�察�and   happened   to  smile�此 �it  was decided。 He   placed 

himself by her。 

    Elizabeth�察    �with   a  triumphant       sensation�察   �looked    towards     his 

friend。   He   bore   it   with   noble   indifference�察  �and   she   would   have 

imagined that Bingley had received his sanction to be happy�察�had 

she not seen his eyes likewise turned towards Mr。 Darcy�察�with an 

expression of half´laughing alarm。 

    His   behaviour   to   her   sister   was   such�察  �during   dinner   time�察  �as 

shewed   an   admiration   of   her�察  �which�察  �though   more   guarded   than 

formerly�察�persuaded Elizabeth�察�that if left wholly to himself�察�Jane¨s 

happiness�察  �and   his   own�察  �would   be   speedily   secured。   Though   she 

dared      not   depend      upon    the   consequence�察       �she   yet   received 

pleasure      from    observing      his  behaviour。      It  gave    her    all  the 

animation that her spirits could boast�察�for she was in no cheerful 

humour。 Mr。 Darcy was almost as far from her�察�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�察�or make either 

appear to advantage。 She was not near enough to hear any of their 

discourse�察�but she could see how seldom they spoke to each other�察�

and   how   formal   and   cold   was   their   manner�察  �whenever   they   did。 

Her mother¨s ungraciousness�察�made the sense of what they  owed 

him   more   painful   to   Elizabeth¨s   mind�察  �and   she   would�察  �at   times�察�

have given any thing to be privileged to tell him�察�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�察�that the whole of the visit
