opportunity of bringing them together�察�that the whole of the visit 

would      not   pass    away    without     enabling     them     to  enter    into 

something       more    of   conversation�察    �than    the  mere     ceremonious 

salutation attending his entrance。 Anxious and uneasy�察�the period 

which   passed   in   the   drawing´room�察  �before   the   gentlemen   came�察�

was wearisome and dull to a degree�察�that almost made her uncivil。 

She looked forward to their entrance�察�as the point on which all her 

chance of pleasure for the evening must depend。 

    `If he does not come to me�察�then�察� said she�察 �I shall give him up 

for ever。¨ 

    The gentlemen came�察�and she thought he looked as if he would 

have answered her hopes�察�but�察�alas� �the ladies had crowded round 

the    table�察 �where     Miss   Bennet     was   making     tea�察  �and   Elizabeth 

pouring  out   the   coffee�察  �in   so   close   a   confederacy�察  �that   there   was 

not a single vacancy near her�察�which would admit of a chair。 And 

on the gentlemen¨s approaching�察�one of the girls moved closer  to 

her than ever�察�and said�察�in a whisper�察�

    `The men shan¨t come and part us�察�I am determined。 We want 

none of them�察�do we�拭�

    Darcy     had    walked     away    to  another     part   of  the   room。    She 

followed him with her eyes�察�envied every one to whom he  spoke�察�

had scarcely patience enough to help anybody to coffee�察�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�拭  �Is   there   one  among   the 

sex�察  �who  would   not  protest  against  such  a  weakness   as  a second 

proposal to the same woman�拭�There is no indignity so abhorrent 

to their feelings� � 

    She    was    a  little  revived�察  �however�察    �by   his  bringing   back     his 

coffee cup himself�察�and she seized the opportunity of saying�察�

    `Is your sister at Pemberley still�拭� 

    `Yes�察�she will remain there till Christmas。¨ 

    `And quite alone�拭�Have all her friends left her�拭� 

    `Mrs。   Annesley   is   with   her。   The   others   have   been   gone   on   to 

Scarborough�察�these three weeks。¨ 

    She   could   think   of   nothing   more   to   say�察  �but   if   he   wished   to 

converse with her�察�he might have better success。 He stood by her�察�

however�察�for some minutes�察  �in   silence�察�and�察�at  last�察  �on   the   young 

lady¨s whispering to Elizabeth again�察�he walked away。 

    When the tea´things were removed�察�and the card tables placed�察�

the    ladies   all   rose�察 �and  Elizabeth     was    then   hoping    to  be   soon 

joined by him�察�when all her views were overthrown�察�by seeing him 

fall a victim to her mother¨s rapacity for whist players�察�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�察�and she had nothing to hope�察�but that his eyes 

were so often turned towards her side of the room�察�as to make him 

play as unsuccessfully as herself。

    Mrs。     Bennet      had    designed       to  keep     the    two    Netherfield 

gentlemen        to   supper�察  �but   their   carriage    was    unluckily     ordered 

before any of the others�察�and she had no opportunity of detaining 

them。 

    `Well   girls�察�   said   she�察  �as   soon   as   they   were   left   to   themselves�察�

`What     say   you    to  the  day�拭   �I  think    every   thing    has   passed     off 

uncommonly well�察�I assure you。 The dinner was as well dressed as 

any I ever saw。 The venison was roasted to a turn!and everybody 

said�察  �they   never   saw   so   fat   a   haunch。   The   soup   was   fifty   times 

better  than   what  we   had   at   the   Lucas¨s   last   week�察  �and   even   Mr。 

Darcy   acknowledged�察  �that   the   partridges   were   remarkably   well 

done�察  �and   I   suppose   he   has   two   or   three   French   cooks   at   least。 

And�察�my dear Jane�察�I never saw you look in   greater beauty。   Mrs。 

Long said so too�察�for I asked her whether you did not。 And what do 

you think she said besides�拭 �Ah� �Mrs。 Bennet�察�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�察�and not at all handsome�此�I like them prodigiously。¨ 

    Mrs。   Bennet�察  �in   short�察  �was   in   very   great   spirits�察  �she   had   seen 

enough  of  Bingley¨s behaviour  to   Jane�察  �to   be   convinced   that   she 

would   get   him   at   last�察  �and   her   expectations   of   advantage   to   her 

family�察�when in a happy humour�察�were so far beyond reason�察�that 

she was quite disappointed at not seeing him there again the next 

day�察�to make his proposals。 

    `It   has   been     a  very    agreeable      day�察�   said    Miss    Bennet     to 

Elizabeth。 `The party seemed so well selected�察�so suitable one with 

the other I hope we may often meet again。¨ 

    Elizabeth smiled。 

    `Lizzy�察  �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�察     �without 

having   a   wish   beyond   it。   I   am   perfectly   satisfied   from   what   his 

manners now  are�察  �that   he   never   had   any   design   of   engaging   my 

affection。   It   is   only   that   he   is   blessed   with   greater   sweetness   of 

address�察�and a stronger desire of generally pleasing than any other 

man。¨ 

    `You are very cruel�察� said her sister�察 �you will not let me smile�察�

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�拭� 

    `That is a question which I hardly know how to answer。 We all 

love    to  instruct�察   �though    we    can   teach   only    what    is  not  worth 

knowing。   Forgive   me�察  �and   if   you   persist   in   indifference�察  �do   not 

make me your confidante。¨

            few   days   after   this   visit�察  �Mr。   Bingley   called   again�察  �and 

Aalone。   His  friend   had   left   him   that   morning   for   London�察�

           but   was   to   return   home   in   ten   days   time。   He   sat   with 

them   above   an   hour�察  �and   was   in   remarkably   good   spirits。   Mrs。 

Bennet invited him to dine with them�察�but�察�with many expressions 

of concern�察�he confessed himself engaged elsewhere。 

    `Next time you call�察� said she�察 �I hope we shall be more lucky。¨ 

    He should be particularly happy at any time�察�&c。 &c。�察�and if she 

would give him leave�察�would take an early opportunity of waiting 

on them。

   Yes�察   �he   had    no  engagement       at   all  for  to´morrow�察    �and
