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

invitation was accepted with alacrity。 

    He came�察�and in such very good time�察�that the ladies were none 

of   them   dressed。   In   ran   Mrs。   Bennet   to   her   daughter¨s   room�察  �in 

her dressing gown�察�and with her hair half finished�察�crying out�察�

    `My  dear  Jane�察 �make   haste   and   hurry  down。   He   is   come!Mr。 

Bingley   is   come。!He   is�察  �indeed。   Make   haste�察  �make   haste。   Here�察�

Sarah�察  �come   to   Miss   Bennet   this   moment�察  �and   help   her   on   with 

her gown。 Never mind Miss Lizzy¨s hair。¨ 

    `We will be down as soon as we can�察� said Jane�察 �but I dare say 

Kitty is forwarder than either of us�察�for she went up stairs half an 

hour ago。¨

quick� �where is your sash my dear�拭�

    But when her mother was gone�察�Jane would not be prevailed on 

to go down without one of her sisters。 

    The same anxiety to get them by themselves�察�was visible again 

in the evening。 After tea�察�Mr。 Bennet retired to the library�察�as was 

his   custom�察    �and    Mary    went    up   stairs  to   her   instrument。     Two 

obstacles of the five being thus removed�察�Mrs。 Bennet sat looking 

and  winking  at  Elizabeth  and   Catherine   for   a   considerable   time�察�

without     making   any      impression      on  them。    Elizabeth     would     not 

observe her�察�and when at last Kitty did�察�she very innocently said�察�

`What   is   the   matter   mamma�拭  �What   do   you   keep   winking   at   me 

for�拭�What am I to do�拭� 

    `Nothing child�察�nothing。 I did not wink at you。¨ She then sat still 

five minutes longer�察�but unable to waste such a precious occasion�察�

she suddenly got up�察�and saying to Kitty�察�

    `Come here�察�my love�察�I want to speak to you�察� took her out of the 

room。   Jane   instantly   gave   a   look   at   Elizabeth�察  �which   spoke   her 

distress at such premeditation�察�and her intreaty that she would not 

give   into  it。   In a   few  minutes�察  �Mrs。   Bennet   half  opened   the   door 

and called out�察�

    `Lizzy�察�my dear�察�I want to speak with you。¨ 

    Elizabeth was forced to go。 

    `We may as well leave them by themselves you know�察� 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�察    �but 

remained   quietly  in   the   hall�察  �till   she   and   Kitty   were   out   of   sight�察�

then returned into the drawing room。 

    Mrs。   Bennet¨s   schemes   for   this   day   were   ineffectual。   Bingley 

was every thing that was charming�察�except the professed lover of

her   daughter。      His   ease   and   cheerfulness      rendered     him    a  most 

agreeable addition to their evening party�察�and he bore with the ill´ 

judged officiousness of the mother�察�and heard all her silly remarks 

with    a  forbearance      and    command       of  countenance�察      �particularly 

grateful to the daughter。 

    He scarcely needed an invitation to stay supper�察�and before he 

went  away�察  �an   engagement   was   formed�察  �chiefly   through   his   own 

and   Mrs。   Bennet¨s   means�察  �for   his   coming  next   morning   to   shoot 

with her husband。 

    After   this   day�察  �Jane   said   no   more   of   her   indifference。   Not   a 

word      passed      between      the    sisters   concerning       Bingley�察     �but 

Elizabeth went to bed in the happy belief that all must speedily be 

concluded�察      �unless    Mr。   Darcy    returned     within    the   stated   time。 

Seriously�察�however�察�she felt tolerably persuaded that all this must 

have taken place with that gentleman¨s concurrence。 

    Bingley     was    punctual     to  his  appointment�察      �and    he   and   Mr。 

Bennet  spent  the   morning  together�察  �as   had   been agreed   on。   The 

latter   was   much   more   agreeable   than   his   companion            expected。 

There was nothing of presumption or folly  in   Bingley�察  �that  could 

provoke his ridicule�察�or disgust him into silence�察�and he was more 

communicative�察  �and   less   eccentric   than   the   other   had   ever   seen 

him。   Bingley   of   course   returned   with   him   to   dinner�察  �and   in   the 

evening   Mrs。   Bennet¨s   invention   was   again   at   work   to   get   every 

body away from him and her daughter。 Elizabeth�察�who had a letter 

to write�察�went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after 

tea�察�for as the others were all going to sit down to cards�察�she could 

not be wanted to counteract her mother¨s schemes。 

    But   on   returning   to   the   drawing   room�察  �when   her   letter   was 

finished�察�she saw�察�to her infinite surprise�察�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�察�as if engaged in earnest conversation�察�and had this led 

to no suspicion�察�the faces of both as they hastily turned round�察�and 

moved away from each other�察�would have told it all。 Their situation 

                                  her s 

was awkward enough�察�but                ¨ she thought was still worse。 Not a 

syllable was uttered by either�察�and Elizabeth   was  on   the   point  of 

going away again�察�when Bingley�察�who as well as the other had sat 

down�察�suddenly rose�察�and whispering a few words to her sister�察�ran 

out of the room。 

    Jane could have no reserves from Elizabeth�察�where confidence 

would give pleasure�察�and instantly embracing her�察�acknowledged�察�

with   the   liveliest   emotion�察  �that   she   was   the   happiest   creature   in 

the world。 

    `¨Tis too much� � she added�察 �by far too much。 I do not deserve it。 

Oh� �why is not every body as happy�拭� 

    Elizabeth¨s      congratulations       were    given    with   a   sincerity�察  �a 

warmth�察  �a   delight�察  �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�察�or say half that 

remained to be said�察�for the present。 

    `I   must  go  instantly   to   my   mother�察�   she   cried。   `I   would   not   on 

any account trifle with her affectionate solicitude�察�or allow her to 

hear it from any one but myself。 He is gone to my father already。 

Oh�    �Lizzy�察   �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�察     �who   had    purposely 

broken up the card party�察�and was sitting up stairs with Kitty。

    Elizabeth�察  �who   was   left   by   herself�察  �now   smiled   at   the   rapidity 

and  ease   with   which   an   affair   was   finally   settled�察  �that   had   given 

them so many previous months of suspense and vexation。
