    `What you  ask�察�   said  Elizabeth�察   �is  no  sacrifice   on  my  side�察�and 

Mr。 Darcy had much better finish his letter。¨

    Mr。 Darcy took her advice�察�and did finish his letter。 

    When   that   business   was   over�察  �he   applied   to   Miss   Bingley   and 

Elizabeth  for  the   indulgence   of   some   music。   Miss   Bingley  moved 

with    alacrity    to  the  pianofort└�察    �and   after   a  polite   request     that 

Elizabeth would lead the way�察�which the other as politely and more 

earnestly negatived�察�she seated herself。 

    Mrs。    Hurst    sang    with   her   sister�察 �and    while    they   were    thus 

employed   Elizabeth   could   not   help   observing   as   she   turned   over 

some music books that lay on the instrument�察�how frequently Mr。 

Darcy¨s eyes were fixed on her。 She hardly knew how  to  suppose 

that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man�察�and yet 

that he should look at her because he disliked her�察�was still more 

strange。 She could only imagine however at last�察�that she drew his 

notice because there was a something about her more wrong and 

reprehensible�察  �according   to   his   ideas   of   right�察  �than   in   any   other 

person   present。   The   supposition   did   not   pain   her。   She   liked   him 

too little to care for his approbation。 

    After playing some Italian songs�察�Miss Bingley varied the charm 

by   a   lively   Scotch   air�察  �and   soon   afterwards   Mr。   Darcy�察  �drawing 

near Elizabeth�察�said to her! 

    `Do not you feel a great inclination�察�Miss Bennet�察�to seize   such 

an opportunity of dancing a reel�拭� 

    She   smiled�察  �but   made      no   answer。    He    repeated    the   question�察�

with some surprise at her silence。 

    `Oh� � said she�察 �I heard you before�察�but I could not immediately 

determine   what   to   say   in   reply。   You   wanted   me�察  �I   know�察  �to   say 

^Yes�察院�that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste�察�but I 

always      delight    in   overthrowing       those    kind    of   schemes�察     �and 

cheating a person of their premeditated contempt。 I have therefore

made up my mind to tell you�察�that I do not want to dance a reel at 

all!and now despise me if you dare。¨ 

    `Indeed I do not dare。¨ 

    Elizabeth�察�having rather expected to affront him�察�was amazed at 

his gallantry�察�but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in 

her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody�察�and 

Darcy  had never  been   so bewitched by  any  woman as   he   was   by 

her。   He   really  believed�察  �that   were   it   not   for   the   inferiority   of   her 

connections�察�he should be in some danger。 

    Miss   Bingley   saw�察  �or   suspected   enough   to   be   jealous�察  �and   her 

great   anxiety   for   the   recovery   of   her   dear   friend   Jane�察  �received 

some assistance from her desire of getting rid of Elizabeth。 

    She   often   tried   to   provoke   Darcy   into   disliking   her   guest�察  �by 

talking of their supposed marriage�察�and planning his happiness in 

such an alliance。 

    `I   hope�察�   said    she�察  �as   they   were     walking     together     in   the 

shrubbery   the   next   day�察   �you   will   give   your   mother´in´law   a   few 

hints�察�when this desirable event takes place�察�as to the advantage of 

holding her tongue�察�and if you can compass it�察�do cure the younger 

girls   of   running     after  the   officers。!And�察      �if  I  may    mention     so 

delicate     a   subject�察   �endeavour      to   check    that    little  something�察�

bordering        on    conceit     and    impertinence�察       �which      your    lady 

possesses。¨ 

    `Have you any thing else to propose for my domestic felicity�拭� 

    `Oh� �yes。!Do let the portraits of your uncle and aunt Philips be 

placed   in   the   gallery   at   Pemberley。   Put   them   next   to   your   great 

uncle the judge。 They are in the same profession�察�you know�察�only in 

different     lines。   As   for  your    Elizabeth¨s     picture�察   �you   must     not 

attempt to have it taken�察�for what painter could do justice to those

beautiful eyes�拭� 

   `It would not be easy�察�indeed�察�to catch their expression�察�but their 

colour and shape�察�and the eye´lashes�察�so remarkably fine�察�might be 

copied。¨ 

   At    that  moment     they   were    met   from   another    walk�察  �by  Mrs。 

Hurst and Elizabeth herself。 

   `I did not know that you intended to walk�察� said Miss Bingley�察�in 

some confusion�察�lest they had been overheard。 

   `You used us abominably ill�察� answered Mrs。 Hurst�察 �in running 

away without telling us that you were coming out。¨ 

   Then taking the disengaged arm of Mr。 Darcy�察�she left Elizabeth 

to   walk   by   herself。   The   path   just   admitted   three。   Mr。   Darcy   felt 

their rudeness and immediately said�察� 

   `This walk   is  not  wide   enough  for  our  party。   We   had better  go 

into the avenue。¨ 

   But Elizabeth�察�who had not the least inclination to remain with 

them�察�laughingly answered�察�

   `No�察�no�察�stay where you are。!You are charmingly group¨d�察�and 

appear to uncommon advantage。 The picturesque would be spoilt 

by admitting a fourth。 Good bye。¨ 

   She   then   ran   gaily   off�察  �rejoicing   as   she   rambled   about�察  �in   the 

hope of being at home again in a day or two。 Jane was already so 

much recovered as to intend leaving her room for a couple of hours 

that evening。

               hen the ladies removed after dinner�察�Elizabeth ran up 

Wto   her   sister�察  �and   seeing   her   well   guarded   from   cold�察�

               attended   her   into   the   drawing´room�察  �where   she   was 

welcomed by  her  two  friends   with many  professions   of   pleasure�察�

and   Elizabeth   had   never   seen   them   so   agreeable       as  they   were 

during   the    hour   which   passed   before      the  gentlemen      appeared。 

Their     powers     of  conversation      were    considerable。     They    could 

describe an entertainment with accuracy�察�relate an anecdote with 

humour�察�and laugh at their acquaintance with spirit。 

   But when   the   gentlemen entered�察  �Jane   was   no longer  the   first 

object。   Miss   Bingley¨s   eyes   were   instantly   turned   towards   Darcy�察�

and she had something to say to him before he had advanced many 

steps。 He addressed himself directly to Miss Bennet�察�with a polite 

congratulation�察�Mr。 Hurst also made her a slight bow�察�and said he 

was `very glad�察� but diffuseness and warmth remained for Bingley¨s 

salutation。 He was full of joy and attention。 The first half hour was 

spent in piling up the fire�察�lest she should suffer from the change of 

room�察�and she removed at his desire to  the  other  side  of  the  fire´ 

place�察�that she might be farther from the door。 He then   sat  down 

by her�察�and   talked  scarcely  to  any  one   else。   Elizabeth�察  �at  work   in 

the opposite corner�察�saw it all with great delight。 

   When tea was over�察�Mr。 Hurst reminded his sister´in´law of the 

card´table!but in vain。 She had obtained pr
