peculiarly   denoted   her   perverseness   and   assurance   in   the   belief 

that   such   a    relation   must   assist   her   endeavours        to   obtain   that 

promise   from   her   nephew�察  �which  she          had   refused   to   give。   But�察�

unluckily for her ladyship�察�its effect had been exactly contrariwise。 

    `It taught me to hope�察� said he�察 �as I had scarcely  ever  allowed 

myself   to   hope   before。   I   knew   enough   of   your   disposition   to   be 

certain�察�that�察�had you been absolutely�察�irrevocably decided against 

me�察  �you   would   have   acknowledged   it   to   Lady   Catherine�察  �frankly 

and openly。¨ 

    Elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied�察 �Yes�察�you know 

enough       of  my  frankness      to    believe    me   capable     of  that。  After 

abusing you so abominably to your face�察�I could have no scruple in 

abusing you to all your relations。¨

your accusations were ill´founded�察�formed on mistaken premises�察�

my behaviour to you at the time�察�had merited the severest reproof。 

It was unpardonable。 I cannot think of it without abhorrence。¨ 

    `We will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to 

that   evening�察�   said   Elizabeth。   `The   conduct   of   neither�察  �if   strictly 

examined�察�will be irreproachable�察�but since then�察�we have both�察�I 

hope�察�improved in civility。¨ 

    `I   cannot be   so  easily  reconciled   to  myself。  The   recollection   of 

what   I   then   said�察  �of   my   conduct�察  �my   manners�察  �my   expressions 

during     the   whole     of  it�察 �is  now�察  �and   has    been    many    months�察�

inexpressibly painful to me。 Your reproof�察�so well applied�察�I shall 

never      forget�此   �had     you    behaved      in   a   more     gentleman´like 

manner。 ̄ Those were your words。 You know not�察�you can scarcely 

conceive�察�how they have tortured me�察�though it was some time�察�I 

confess�察�before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice。¨ 

    `I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong 

an impression。 I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt 

in such a way。¨ 

    `I   can   easily   believe   it。   You   thought   me   then   devoid   of   every 

proper feeling�察�I am sure you did。 The turn of your countenance I 

shall never forget�察�as you said that I could not have addressed you 

in any possible way�察�that would induce you to accept me。¨ 

    `Oh� �do not repeat what I then said。 These recollections will not 

do at all。 I assure you�察�that I have long been most heartily ashamed 

of it。¨ 

    Darcy  mentioned   his letter。   `Did   it�察� said   he�察   �did   it soon  make 

you think better of me�拭�Did you�察�on reading it�察�give any credit to 

its contents�拭� 

    She     explained     what    its  effect   on   her   had    been�察   �and    how

gradually all her former prejudices had been removed。 

    `I knew�察� said he�察 �that what I wrote must give you pain�察�but it 

was   necessary。   I   hope   you   have   destroyed   the   letter。   There   was 

one   part  especially�察  �the   opening  of  it�察  �which  I should   dread   your 

having      the   power      of   reading     again。    I  can    remember        some 

expressions which might justly make you hate me。¨ 

    `The letter shall certainly be burnt�察�if you believe it essential to 

the preservation of my regard�察�but�察�though we have both reason to 

think   my   opinions   not   entirely   unalterable�察  �they   are   not�察  �I   hope�察�

quite so easily changed as that implies。¨ 

    `When      I  wrote   that   letter�察�  replied    Darcy�察    �I  believed    myself 

perfectly   calm   and      cool�察  �but   I  am   since    convinced      that  it  was 

written in a dreadful bitterness of spirit。¨ 

    `The letter�察�perhaps�察�began in bitterness�察�but it did not end so。 

The   adieu   is   charity   itself。   But   think   no   more   of   the   letter。   The 

feelings of the person who wrote�察�and the person who received it�察�

are now so widely different from what they were then�察�that every 

unpleasant  circumstance   attending  it�察  �ought  to  be   forgotten。   You 

must  learn   some   of   my   philosophy。   Think   only   of   the   past  as   its 

remembrance gives you pleasure。¨ 

    `I   cannot   give   you   credit   for   any   philosophy   of   the   kind。 Your 

retrospections        must     be   so  totally    void   of   reproach�察    �that    the 

contentment arising from them�察  �is not  of  philosophy�察  �but  what  is 

much      better�察   �of  innocence。      But   with   me�察  �it  is  not   so。  Painful 

recollections   will   intrude�察  �which   cannot�察  �which   ought   not   to   be 

repelled。 I have been a selfish being all my life�察�in practice�察�though 

not in principle。 As a child I was taught what was right�察�but I was 

not taught to correct my temper。 I was given good principles�察�but 

left to follow them in pride and conceit。 Unfortunately an only son�察�

you    without     a   doubt    of  my    reception。     You    shewed      me   how 

insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of 

being pleased。¨

to be wishing�察�expecting my addresses。¨

    `No indeed�察�I felt nothing but surprise。¨ 

    `Your surprise could not be greater than mine  in being noticed 

by  you。   My   conscience   told   me   that   I   deserved   no   extraordinary 

politeness�察�and I confess that I did not expect to receive more than 

my due。¨
