civility in my power�察�that I was not so mean as to resent the past�察�

and I hoped to obtain your forgiveness�察�to lessen your ill opinion�察�

by  letting  you  see   that  your  reproofs   had been attended   to。   How 

soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell�察�but 

I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you。¨ 

    He   then   told   her   of   Georgiana¨s   delight   in   her   acquaintance�察�

and     of  her   disappointment        at   its  sudden     interruption�察    �which 

naturally leading to the cause of that interruption�察�she soon learnt 

that his resolution of following her from Derbyshire in quest of her 

sister�察  �had   been   formed   before   he   quitted   the   inn�察  �and   that   his 

gravity     and    thoughtfulness       there�察   �had    arisen    from    no   other 

struggles than what such a purpose must comprehend。 

    She    expressed      her   gratitude    again�察  �but   it   was  too  painful   a 

subject to each�察�to be dwelt on farther。 

    After walking several miles in a leisurely manner�察�and too busy 

to know any thing about it�察�they found at last�察�on examining their 

watches�察�that it was time to be at home。 

    `What   could   become   of   Mr。   Bingley   and   Jane� �   was   a   wonder 

which      introduced      the   discussion      of their   affairs。    Darcy     was 

delighted   with   their   engagement�察  �his   friend   had         given   him    the 

earliest information of it。 

    `I must ask whether you were surprised�拭� said Elizabeth。 

    `Not at all。 When I went away�察�I felt that it would soon happen。¨ 

    `That   is   to   say�察  �you   had   given   your   permission。   I   guessed   as 

much。¨ And though he exclaimed at the term�察�she found that it had 

been pretty much the case。 

    `On the evening before my going to London�察� said he�察 �I made a 

confession to him�察�which I believe I ought to have made long ago。 I

told him of all that had occurred to make my former interference 

in his affairs�察�absurd and impertinent。 His surprise was great。 He 

had never had the slightest suspicion。 I told him�察�moreover�察�that I 

believed   myself   mistaken   in   supposing�察  �as   I   had   done�察  �that   your 

sister was indifferent to him�察�and as I could easily perceive that his 

attachment to her was unabated�察�I felt no doubt of their happiness 

together。¨ 

    Elizabeth could not help smiling at his easy manner of directing 

his friend。 

    `Did you speak from your own observation�察� said she�察 �when you 

told him that my sister loved him�察�or merely from my information 

last spring�拭� 

    `From the former。 I had narrowly observed her during the two 

visits   which   I   had   lately   made   here�察  �and   I   was   convinced   of   her 

affection。¨ 

    `And     your    assurance      of   it�察 �I  suppose�察    �carried    immediate 

conviction to him。¨ 

    `It did。 Bingley is most unaffectedly modest。 His diffidence had 

prevented   his   depending   on   his   own   judgment   in   so   anxious   a 

case�察   �but   his  reliance    on   mine�察   �made    every    thing   easy。   I  was 

obliged   to   confess   one   thing�察  �which   for   a   time�察  �and   not   unjustly�察�

offended him。 I could not allow myself to conceal that your sister 

had   been in   town   three  months   last  winter�察  �that   I   had   known   it�察�

and purposely kept it from him。 He was angry。 But his anger�察�I am 

persuaded�察�lasted no longer than he remained in any doubt of your 

sister¨s sentiments。 He has heartily forgiven me now。 

    Elizabeth longed to observe that Mr。 Bingley had been a most 

delightful   friend�察  �so   easily   guided   that   his   worth   was   invaluable�察�

but she checked herself。 She remembered that he had yet to learn

to be laught at�察�and it was rather too early to begin。 In anticipating 

the happiness of Bingley�察�which of course was to be inferior only 

to   his   own�察  �he   continued   the   conversation   till   they   reached   the 

house。 In the hall they parted。

                           CHAPTER XVII 



                 y dear Lizzy�察�where can you have been walking to�拭� 

                 was a question which Elizabeth received from Jane 

 `M 

                  as soon as she entered their room�察�and from all the 

others when they sat down to table。 She had only to say in reply�察�

that   they   had   wandered      about�察  �till  she  was   beyond    her   own 

knowledge。 She   coloured   as   she   spoke�察�but  neither  that�察  �nor  any 

thing else�察�awakened a suspicion of the truth。 

   The     evening    passed   quietly�察  �unmarked      by  any   thing   extra´ 

ordinary。     The    acknowledged       lovers   talked   and    laughed�察   �the 

unacknowledged   were   silent。   Darcy   was   not   of   a   disposition   in 

which  happiness   overflows   in mirth�察  �and   Elizabeth�察  �agitated   and 

confused�察�rather knew that she was happy�察�than felt              herself to be 

so�察  �for�察  �besides   the   immediate   embarrassment�察  �there   were   other 

evils before her。 She anticipated what would be felt in the family 

when   her   situation   became   known�察  �she   was   aware   that   no   one 

liked him but Jane�察�and even feared that with the others it was a 

dislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away。 

   At  night  she   opened   her  heart  to  Jane。   Though  suspicion   was 

very   far   from   Miss   Bennet¨s   general   habits�察  �she   was   absolutely 

incredulous here。 

   `You are joking�察�Lizzy。 This cannot be� �engaged to Mr。 Darcy� �

No�察�no�察�you shall not deceive me。 I know it to be impossible。¨ 

   `This is a wretched beginning indeed� �My sole dependence was 

on you�察�and I am sure nobody else will believe me�察�if you do not。 

Yet�察�indeed�察�I am in earnest。 I speak nothing but the truth。 He still

loves me�察�and we are engaged。¨ 

    Jane looked at her doubtingly。 `Oh�察�Lizzy� �it cannot be。 I know 

how much you dislike him。¨ 

    `You   know   nothing   of   the   matter。  That  is   all     to   be  forgot。! 

Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now。 But in such 

cases   as   these�察  �a   good   memory   is   unpardonable。   This   is   the   last 

time I shall ever remember it myself。¨ 

    Miss   Bennet   still   looked   all   amazement。   Elizabeth   again�察  �and 

more seriously assured her of its truth。 

    `Good Heaven� �can it be really so� �Yet now I must believe you�察� 

cried Jane。 `My dear�察�dear Lizzy�察�I would!I do congratulate you! 

but   are   you   certain�拭  �forgive   the   question!are   you   quite   certain 

that you can be happy with him�拭� 

    `There can be no doubt of that。 It is settled between us already�察�

that   we   are   to   be   the   happiest   couple   in   the   world。   But   are   you 

pleased�察�Jane�拭�Shall you like to have such a brother�拭� 

    `Very�察�very much。 Nothing could give   either  Bingley  or  myself 

more delight。 But we considered it�察�we talked of it as impossible。 

And do you really love him quite well enough�拭�Oh�察�Lizzy� �do any 

thing rather than marry without affection。 Are you quite sure that
