speaking of him in such terms。¨ 

    `Lizzy�察� said her father�察 �I have given him my consent。 He is the 

kind   of   man�察  �indeed�察     �to   whom    I  should   never   dare   refuse      any 

thing�察�which he condescended to  ask。   I now  give   it  to you�察 �if  you 

are resolved on having him。 But let me advise you to think better 

of   it。   I   know   your   disposition�察  �Lizzy。   I   know   that   you   could   be 

neither   happy   nor   respectable�察  �unless   you          truly   esteemed      your 

husband�察  �unless   you  looked   up   to   him   as   a   superior。   Your   lively 

talents     would    place    you   in  the   greatest    danger     in  an   unequal 

marriage。      You    could    scarcely    escape     discredit    and   misery。     My 

child�察  �let   me   not   have   the   grief   of   seeing  you  unable   to   respect 

your partner in life。 You know not what you are about。¨ 

    Elizabeth�察  �still   more   affected�察  �was   earnest   and   solemn   in   her 

reply�察  �and at  length�察  �by  repeated   assurances   that   Mr。   Darcy   was 

really  the  object  of  her  choice�察  �by  explaining  the  gradual   change 

which her estimation of him had undergone�察�relating her absolute 

certainty   that   his   affection   was   not   the   work   of   a   day�察  �but   had

stood   the   test   of   many   months   suspense�察  �and        numerating   with 

energy      all  his   good     qualities�察   �she   did    conquer     her    father¨s 

incredulity�察�and reconcile him to the match。 

    `Well�察�my dear�察� said he�察�when she ceased speaking�察 �I have no 

more to say。 If this be the case�察�he deserves you。 I could not have 

parted with you�察�my Lizzy�察�to any one less worthy。¨ 

    To complete the favourable impression�察�she then told him what 

Mr。    Darcy     had   voluntarily     done    for  Lydia。    He   heard    her   with 

astonishment。 

    `This is an evening of wonders�察�indeed� �And so�察�Darcy did every 

thing�察�made up the match�察�gave the money�察�paid the fellow¨s debts�察�

and got him his commission� �So much the better。 It will save me a 

world   of  trouble  and   economy。   Had it  been   your  uncle¨s doing�察  �I 

must   and  would      have   paid   him�察  �but   these   violent   young   lovers 

carry     every   thing    their  own     way。   I  shall   offer  to  pay    him   to´ 

morrow�察�he will rant and storm about his love for you�察�and there 

will be an end of the matter。¨ 

    He   then   recollected   her  embarrassment  a  few  days   before�察  �on 

his   reading   Mr。   Collins¨s   letter�察  �and   after   laughing   at   her   some 

time�察�allowed her at last to go!saying�察�as she quitted the room�察 �If 

any   young   men   come   for   Mary   or   Kitty�察  �send   them   in�察  �for   I   am 

quite at leisure。¨ 

    Elizabeth¨s   mind   was   now   relieved   from   a   very   heavy   weight�察�

and�察�after half an hour¨s quiet reflection in her own room�察�she was 

able to join the others with tolerable composure。 Every thing was 

too    recent   for   gaiety�察  �but   the   evening     passed    tranquilly    away�察�

there   was   no   longer   any   thing   material   to   be   dreaded�察  �and   the 

comfort of ease and familiarity would come in time。 

    When   her   mother   went   up   to   her   dressing´room   at   night�察  �she

followed   her�察  �and   made   the   important   communication。   Its   effect 

was   most   extraordinary�察  �for   on   first   hearing   it�察  �Mrs。   Bennet   sat 

quite still�察�and unable to utter a syllable。 Nor was it under many�察�

many      minutes�察     �that   she   could    comprehend         what    she    heard�察�

though      not   in   general    backward       to   credit   what    was    for   the 

advantage of her family�察�or that came in the shape of a lover to any 

of   them。   She   began   at   length   to   recover�察  �to   fidget   about   in   her 

chair�察�get up�察�sit down again�察�wonder�察�and bless herself。 

    `Good gracious� �Lord bless me� �only think� �dear me� �Mr。 Darcy� �

Who would have thought it� �And is it really true�拭�Oh� �my sweetest 

Lizzy� �how rich and how great you will be� �What pin´money�察�what 

jewels�察   �what    carriages     you   will  have�    �Jane¨s    is  nothing    to  it! 

nothing      at  all。  I  am   so   pleased!so       happy。     Such    a  charming 

man� �so  handsome�  �so  tall� �Oh�察�my  dear  Lizzy�  �pray  apologise 

for my having disliked him so much before。 I hope he will overlook 

it。   Dear�察   �dear    Lizzy。   A   house     in   town�    �Every     thing    that   is 

charming�   �Three   daughters   married�   �Ten   thousand   a   year�   �Oh�察�

Lord� �What will become of me。 I shall go distracted。¨ 

    This   was   enough   to   prove   that   her   approbation   need   not   be 

doubted�此�and Elizabeth�察�rejoicing that such an effusion was heard 

only   by   herself�察  �soon   went   away。   But   before   she   had   been   three 

minutes in her own room�察�her mother followed her。 

    `My dearest  child�察� she   cried�察   �I   can   think   of  nothing  else�  �Ten 

thousand a year�察�and very likely more�  �Tis as good as a Lord� �And 

a   special   licence。    You   must   and   shall     be  married     by   a  special 

licence。     But   my    dearest    love�察  �tell  me   what    dish   Mr。   Darcy     is 

particularly fond of�察�that I may have it to´morrow。 

    This   was   a   sad   omen   of   what   her   mother¨s   behaviour   to   the 

gentleman himself might be�察�and Elizabeth found�察�that though in

relations¨ consent�察�there was still something to be wished for。 But 

the   morrow   passed   off   much   better   than   she   expected�察  �for   Mrs。 

Bennet luckily stood in such awe of her intended son´in´law�察�that 

she   ventured   not   to   speak   to   him�察  �unless   it   was   in   her   power   to 

offer him any attention�察�or mark her deference for his opinion。 

    Elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains 

to get acquainted with him�察�and Mr。 Bennet soon assured her that 

he was rising every hour in his esteem。 

    `I   admire   all   my   three   sons´in´law   highly�察�   said   he。   `Wickham�察�
