    `Oh� �   cried   Elizabeth�察   �I   am   excessively   diverted。   But   it   is   so 

strange� � 

    `Yes!that  is   what   makes   it   amusing。   Had   they   fixed   on   any 

other     man      it  would      have    been     nothing�察     �but   his   perfect 

indifference�察     �and  your    pointed     dislike�察  �make     it  so  delightfully 

absurd�   �Much   as   I   abominate   writing�察  �I   would   not   give   up   Mr。 

Collins¨s correspondence for any consideration。 Nay�察�when I read 

a letter of his�察�I cannot help giving him the preference even over 

Wickham�察  �much   as   I   value   the   impudence   and   hypocrisy   of   my 

son´in´law。 And pray�察�Lizzy�察�what said Lady Catherine about this 

report�拭�Did she call to refuse her consent�拭� 

    To this question his daughter replied only with a laugh�察�and as 

it   had   been     asked    without     the   least   suspicion�察    �she   was    not 

distressed by his repeating it。 Elizabeth had never been more at a 

loss    to  make    her   feelings    appear     what    they   were    not。  It  was 

necessary to laugh�察�when she would rather have cried。 Her father 

had   most   cruelly   mortified   her�察  �by   what   he   said   of   Mr。   Darcy¨s 

indifference�察�and she could do nothing but wonder at such a want 

of penetration�察�or fear that perhaps�察�instead of his seeing too little�察�

she might have fancied too much。

      nstead of receiving any such letter of excuse from his friend�察�

      as Elizabeth half expected Mr。 Bingley to do�察�he was able to 

I 

      bring   Darcy   with   him   to   Longbourn   before   many   days   had 

passed after Lady Catherine¨s visit。 The gentlemen arrived   early�察�

and�察�before Mrs。 Bennet had time to tell him of their having seen 

his aunt�察�of which her daughter sat in momentary dread�察�Bingley�察�

who wanted to be alone with Jane�察�proposed their all walking out。 

It   was   agreed   to。   Mrs。   Bennet   was   not   in   the   habit   of   walking�察�

Mary     could    never    spare    time�察  �but  the   remaining      five  set   off 

together。   Bingley   and   Jane�察  �however�察  �soon   allowed   the   others   to 

outstrip   them。   They   lagged      behind�察   �while    Elizabeth�察   �Kitty�察 �and 

Darcy�察�were to entertain each other。 Very little was said by either�察�

Kitty   was   too   much   afraid   of   him   to   talk�察  �Elizabeth   was   secretly 

forming   a   desperate   resolution�察  �and   perhaps   he   might   be   doing 

the same。 

    They walked towards the Lucases�察�because Kitty wished to call 

upon   Maria�察  �and   as   Elizabeth   saw   no   occasion   for   making   it   a 

general   concern�察  �when   Kitty   left   them�察  �she   went   boldly   on   with 

him alone。 Now was the moment for her resolution to be executed�察�

and�察�while her courage was high�察�she immediately said�察�

    `Mr。   Darcy�察  �I   am   a   very   selfish   creature�察  �and�察  �for   the   sake   of 

giving   relief   to   my   own   feelings�察  �care   not   how   much   I   may   be 

wounding       your¨s。   I  can   no  longer    help   thanking     you   for  your 

unexampled kindness to my poor sister。 Ever since I have known 

it�察�I have been most anxious to acknowledge to you how gratefully

I feel it。 Were it known to the rest of my family�察�I should not have 

merely my own gratitude to express。¨ 

    `I  am    sorry�察  �exceedingly      sorry�察�   replied    Darcy�察   �in  a  tone    of 

surprise and emotion�察 �that you have ever been informed of what 

may�察  �in   a   mistaken   light�察  �have   given   you   uneasiness。   I   did   not 

think Mrs。 Gardiner was so little to be trusted。¨ 

    `You    must    not   blame     my   aunt。   Lydia¨s    thoughtlessness        first 

betrayed to me that you had been concerned in the matter�察�and�察�of 

course�察  �I   could   not  rest  till   I knew  the   particulars。   Let  me   thank 

you    again    and    again�察   �in  the   name     of  all  my    family�察  �for   that 

generous compassion which induced you to take so much trouble�察�

and bear so many mortifications�察�for the sake of discovering them。¨ 

    `If   you will  thank   me�察�   he   replied�察   �let   it  be   for   yourself   alone。 

That the wish  of  giving  happiness   to  you�察  �might  add   force   to  the 

other inducements which led me   on�察 �I   shall   not  attempt  to  deny。 

But     your  family    owe     me    nothing。    Much     as   I  respect    them�察   �I 

believe�察�I thought only of you。¨ 

    Elizabeth   was   too   much   embarrassed   to   say   a   word。   After   a 

short pause�察�her companion added�察 �You are too generous to trifle 

with me。 If your feelings are still what they were last April�察�tell me 

so at once。 My affections and wishes are unchanged�察�but one word 

from you will silence me on this subject for ever。¨ 

    Elizabeth feeling all the more than common awkwardness and 

anxiety      of   his   situation�察   �now     forced    herself     to  speak�察    �and 

immediately�察  �though   not   very   fluently�察  �gave   him   to   understand�察�

that her sentiments had undergone so material a change�察�since the 

period to which he alluded�察�as to make her receive with gratitude 

and   pleasure�察  �his   present   assurances。   The   happiness   which   this 

reply   produced�察  �was   such   as   he   had   probably   never   felt   before�察�

and     he   expressed      himself    on   the   occasion     as  sensibly    and    as 

warmly   as   a   man   violently   in   love   can   be   supposed   to   do。   Had 

Elizabeth been able to encounter his eye�察�she might have seen how 

well   the   expression   of   heart´felt   delight�察     �diffused   over   his    face�察�

became him�察�but�察�though she could not look�察�she could listen�察�and 

he told her of feelings�察�which�察�in proving of what importance she 

was to him�察�made his affection every moment more valuable。 

    They walked on�察�without knowing in what direction。 There was 

too   much   to   be   thought�察  �and   felt�察  �and   said�察  �for   attention   to   any 

other   objects。   She   soon   learnt   that   they   were   indebted   for   their 

present good understanding to the efforts of his aunt�察�who did call 

on    him    in   her   return    through     London�察     �and    there    relate   her

conversation        with    Elizabeth�察     �dwelling     emphatically       on    every 

expression   of   the   latter�察  �which�察  �in   her   ladyship¨s   apprehension�察�

peculiarly   denoted   her   perverseness   an
