what can have induced him to behave so cruelly�拭� 

    `A thorough�察�determined dislike of me!a dislike which I cannot 

but attribute in some measure to jealousy。 Had the late Mr。 Darcy 

liked   me   less�察  �his   son   might   have   borne   with   me   better�察  �but   his 

father¨s uncommon attachment to me�察�irritated him I believe very 

early in life。 He had not a temper to bear the sort of competition in 

which we stood!the sort of preference which was often given me。¨ 

    `I   had   not   thought   Mr。   Darcy   so   bad   as   this!though   I      have 

never     liked   him�察   �I  had   not   thought    so   very   ill  of  him!I     had 

supposed him to be   despising  his   fellow´creatures   in   general�察  �but 

did not suspect him of descending to such malicious revenge�察�such 

injustice�察�such inhumanity as this� � 

    After   a   few   minutes   reflection�察  �however�察  �she   continued�察�   `I  do 

remember his boasting one day�察�at Netherfield�察�of the implacability 

of   his   resentments�察     �of   his  having     an   unforgiving      temper。    His 

disposition must be dreadful。¨ 

    `I will not trust myself on the subject�察� replied Wickham�察 �I  can 

hardly be just to him。¨ 

    Elizabeth      was     again    deep    in   thought�察     �and    after   a   time 

exclaimed�察 �To treat in such a manner�察�the godson�察�the friend�察�the 

favourite of his father� �!She could have added�察 �A young man too�察�

uncle�察�Mr。 Philips�察�appears to do so much credit to!but he gave up 

every thing to be of use to the late Mr  Darcy�察  �and devoted   all   his 

time   to   the   care   of   the   Pemberley   property。   He   was   most   highly 

esteemed   by   Mr。   Darcy�察  �a   most   intimate�察  �confidential   friend。   Mr。 

Darcy      often    acknowledged          himself    to   be    under     the   greatest 

obligations       to  my     father¨s    active    superintendance�察        �and     when 

immediately         before    my    father¨s    death�察   �Mr。   Darcy     gave    him    a 

voluntary promise of providing for me�察�I am convinced that he felt 

it to be as much a debt of gratitude to him�察�as of affection to myself。¨ 

    `How   strange� �       cried   Elizabeth。     `How     abominable� �I         wonder 

that   the   very   pride   of   this   Mr。   Darcy   has   not   made   him   just   to 

you� �If  from   no  better  motive�察  �that  he   should not  have   been   too 

proud to be dishonest�察�for dishonesty I must call it。¨ 

    `It is wonderful�察�!replied Wickham�察�`for almost all his actions 

may be traced to pride�察�and pride has often been his best friend。 

It has connected him nearer with virtue than any other feeling。 But 

we   are   none   of   us   consistent�察  �and   in   his   behaviour   to   me�察  �there 

were stronger impulses even than pride。¨ 

    `Can such abominable pride as his�察�have ever done him good�拭� 

    `Yes。 It has often led him to be liberal and generous�察�to give his 

money       freely�察  �to  display     hospitality�察   �to   assist   his  tenants�察    �and 

relieve the poor。 Family pride�察�andfilial  pride�察�for he is very proud 

of  what  his   father  was�察  �have  done  this。 Not  to  appear  to  disgrace 

his   family�察  �to   degenerate   from   the   popular   qualities�察  �or   lose   the 

influence   of   the   Pemberley   House�察  �is   a   powerful   motive。   He   has 

also  brotherly  pride�察  �which   with  some  brotherly   affection�察  �makes 

him   a   very   kind   and   careful   guardian   of   his   sister�察  �and   you   will 

hear     him    generally    cried    up   as  the   most    attentive     and   best   of 

brothers。¨

    `What sort of a girl is Miss Darcy�拭� 

    He shook his head。!`I wish I could call her amiable。 It gives me 

pain to speak ill of a Darcy。 But she is too much like her brother�察� 

very�察  �very   proud。!As   a   child�察  �she   was   affectionate   and   pleasing�察�

and extremely fond of me�察�and I have devoted hours and hours to 

her amusement。 But she is nothing to me now。 She is a handsome 

girl�察   �about     fifteen     or   sixteen�察    �and     I   understand        highly 

accomplished。        Since     her   father¨s    death�察   �her   home     has    been 

London�察      �where     a  lady   lives   with    her�察  �and    superintends       her 

education。¨ 

   After many pauses and many trials of other subjects�察�Elizabeth 

could not help reverting once more to the first�察�and saying�察�

    `I am astonished at his intimacy with Mr。 Bingley� �How can Mr。 

Bingley�察  �who   seems   good   humour   itself�察  �and   is�察  �I   really   believe�察�

truly amiable�察�be in friendship with such a man�拭�How can they suit 

each other�拭�Do you know Mr。 Bingley�拭� 

    `Not at all。¨ 

    `He   is   a   sweet   tempered�察  �amiable�察  �charming   man。   He   cannot 

know what Mr。 Darcy is。¨ 

    `Probably not�察�but Mr。 Darcy can please where he chuses。 He 

does   not  want  abilities。   He  can   be   a   conversible   companion   if   he 

thinks it worth his while。 Among those who are at all his equals in 

consequence�察�he is a very different man from what he is to the less 

prosperous。   His pride never   deserts   him�察  �but   with   the   rich�察  �he   is 

liberal´minded�察      �just�察 �sincere�察   �rational�察  �honourable�察     �and   perhaps 

agreeable�察�allowing something for fortune and figure。¨ 

    The    whist    party    soon    afterwards     breaking      up�察  �the   players 

gathered   round   the   other   table�察  �and   Mr。   Collins   took   his   station 

between       his   cousin     Elizabeth     and    Mrs。    Philips。!The        usual

inquiries as to his success were made by the latter。 It had not been 

very great�察�he had lost every point�察�but when Mrs。 Philips began to 

express her concern thereupon�察�he assured her with much earnest 

gravity that it was not of the least importance�察�that he considered 

the money as a mere trifle�察�and begged she would not make herself 

uneasy。 

    `I know very well�察�madam�察� said he�察 �that when persons sit down 

to a card table�察�they must take their chance of these things�察�and 

happily   I   am   not   in   such   circumstances   as   to   make   five   shillings 

any   object。   There   are   undoubtedly   many   who   could   not   say   the 

same�察�but thanks to Lady Catherine de Bourgh�察�I am removed far 

beyond the necessity of regarding little matters。¨ 

    Mr。   Wickham¨s   attention   was   caught�察  �and   after   observing   Mr。 

Collins    for  a  few   moments�察     �he   asked    Elizabeth    in  a  low   voice
