have interrupted any two people in the room who had less to  say 

for   themselves。!We          have    tried   two    or  three    subjects    already 

without success�察�and what we are to talk of next I cannot imagine。¨ 

    `What think you of books�拭� said he�察�smiling。 

    `Books!Oh� �no。!I am sure we never read the same�察�or not with 

the same feelings。¨

full of something else。¨ 

    `The present  always occupies you in such scenes!does it�拭� said 

he�察�with a look of doubt。 

    `Yes�察  �always�察�   she   replied�察  �without   knowing   what   she   said�察  �for 

her     thoughts     had    wandered        far   from    the    subject�察   �as   soon 

afterwards       appeared     by   her   suddenly      exclaiming�察     �I  remember 

hearing you once say�察�Mr。 Darcy�察�that you hardly ever forgave�察�that 

your   resentment   once   created         was    unappeasable。       You    are  very 

cautious�察�I suppose�察�as to its being created。¨ 

    `I am�察� said he�察�with a firm voice。 

    `And never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice�拭� 

    `I hope not。¨ 

    `It   is   particularly   incumbent   on   those   who   never   change   their 

opinion�察�to be secure of judging properly at first。¨ 

    `May I ask to what these questions tend�拭� 

    `Merely      to   the    illustration    of  your     character�察�      said    she�察�

endeavouring to shake off her gravity。 `I am trying to make it out。¨ 

    `And what is your success�拭� 

    She shook her head。 `I do not get on at all。 I hear such different 

accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly。¨ 

    `I   can   readily   believe�察�   answered   he   gravely�察   �that   report   may 

vary   greatly   with   respect   to   me�察  �and   I   could   wish�察  �Miss   Bennet�察�

that you were not to sketch my character at the present moment�察�

as   there   is   reason   to   fear   that   the   performance   would   reflect   no 

credit on either。¨ 

    `But    if  I  do  not   take   your   likeness    now�察   �I  may    never    have 

another opportunity。¨ 

    `I would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours�察� he coldly 

replied。   She   said   no   more�察  �and   they   went   down   the   other   dance

and  parted in silence�察  �on   each   side   dissatisfied�察  �though   not   to   an 

equal degree�察�for in Darcy¨s breast there was a tolerable powerful 

feeling towards her�察�which soon procured her pardon�察�and directed 

all his anger against another。 

    They had not long separated when Miss Bingley came towards 

her�察�and with an expression of civil disdain thus accosted her�察�

    `So�察  �Miss   Eliza�察  �I  hear   you   are   quite   delighted     with   George 

Wickham� �Your   sister   has   been   talking   to   me           about   him�察   �and 

asking   me   a   thousand   questions�察  �and   I   find   that   the   young   man 

forgot to tell you�察�among his other communications�察�that he was the 

son     of  old   Wickham�察      �the   late  Mr。    Darcy¨s     steward。     Let   me 

recommend          you�察  �however�察     �as   a  friend�察   �not   to   give   implicit 

confidence to all his assertions�察�for as to Mr。 Darcy¨s using him ill�察�

it   is  perfectly   false�察  �for�察 �on  the   contrary�察    �he  has   been    always 

remarkably kind to him�察�though George Wickham has treated Mr。 

Darcy�察�in a most infamous manner。 I do not know the particulars�察�

but  I   know  very  well   that  Mr。   Darcy   is   not   in   the   least   to  blame�察�

that he cannot bear to hear George Wickham mentioned�察�and that 

though my brother thought he could not well avoid including him 

in his invitation to the officers�察�he was excessively glad to find that 

he had taken himself out of the way。 His coming into the country at 

all�察  �is   a   most   insolent   thing   indeed�察  �and   I   wonder   how   he   could 

presume to do it。 I pity you�察�Miss Eliza�察�for this   discovery  of  your 

favourite¨s guilt�察�but really considering his descent�察�one could not 

expect much better。¨ 

    `His   guilt   and   his   descent   appear   by   your   account   to   be    the 

same�察� said Elizabeth angrily�察 �for I have heard you accuse him of 

nothing worse than of being the son of Mr。 Darcy¨s steward�察�and of 

that�察�I can assure you�察�he informed me himself。¨

    `I beg your pardon�察�   replied   Miss   Bingley�察  �turning away  with  a 

sneer。 `Excuse my interference。!It was kindly meant。¨ 

    `Insolent     girl� �   said   Elizabeth      to   herself。!`You       are    much 

mistaken if you expect to influence me by such a  paltry  attack   as 

this。   I   see   nothing   in   it   but   your   own   wilful   ignorance   and   the 

malice   of  Mr。   Darcy。¨   She   then   sought   her   eldest   sister�察  �who   had 

undertaken to make inquiries on the same subject of Bingley。 Jane 

met   her   with   a   smile   of   such   sweet   complacency�察  �a   glow   of   such 

happy      expression�察     �as   sufficiently    marked      how     well   she    was 

satisfied with the occurrences of the evening。 

    Elizabeth      instantly    read    her   feelings�察   �and    at  that   moment 

solicitude for Wickham�察�resentment against his enemies�察�and every 

thing else gave way before the hope of Jane¨s   being  in   the   fairest 

way for happiness。 

    `I   want  to  know�察�   said she�察  �with   a   countenance   no  less   smiling 

than   her   sister¨s�察   �what   you   have   learnt   about   Mr。   Wickham。   But 

perhaps you have been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third 

person�察�in which case you may be sure of my pardon。¨ 

    `No�察� replied Jane�察 �I have not forgotten him�察�but I have nothing 

satisfactory to tell you。 Mr。 Bingley does not know the whole of his 

history�察   �and   is  quite   ignorant   of    the  circumstances       which     have 

principally   offended   Mr。       Darcy�察   �but   he   will  vouch   for   the   good 

conduct�察     �the  probity   and    honour   of    his  friend�察   �and   is  perfectly 

convinced       that   Mr。  Wickham       has   deserved     much   less    attention 

from Mr。 Darcy than he has received�察�and I am sorry to say that by 

his account as well as his sister¨s�察�Mr。 Wickham is by no means a 

respectable young man。   I am afraid   he   has been   very  imprudent�察�

and has deserved to lose Mr。 Darcy¨s regard。¨ 

    `Mr。 Bingley does not know Mr。 Wickham himself�拭�

    `No�察�he never saw him till the other morning at Meryton。¨ 

    `This account then is what he has received from Mr。 Darcy。 I am 

perfectly satisfied。 But what does he say of the living�拭� 

    `He does not exactly recollect the circumstances�察�though he has 

heard them from Mr。 Darcy more than once�察�but he believes that it 

was left to him conditionally only。¨ 

    `I   have   not   a   doubt   of   Mr。   Bingley¨s   sincerity�察�   said   Elizabeth
