humour   or   ill   health。   Mr。   Collins   was   also   in   the   same   state   of 

angry     pride。   Elizabeth    had    hoped    that   his  resentment      might 

shorten his visit�察�but his plan did not appear in the least affected 

by it。 He was always to have gone on Saturday�察�and to Saturday he 

still meant to stay。 

   After   breakfast�察  �the   girls   walked   to   Meryton   to   inquire   if   Mr。 

Wickham were returned�察�and to lament over his absence from the 

Netherfield   ball。   He   joined   them   on   their   entering   the   town   and 

attended them to their aunt¨s�察�where his regret and vexation�察�and 

the   concern   of   every   body   was   well   talked   over。!To   Elizabeth�察�

however�察  �he   voluntarily   acknowledged   that   the   necessity   of       his 

absence had been self imposed。 

    `I found�察� said he�察 �as the time drew near�察�that I had better not

meet   Mr。   Darcy�察�that   to   be   in   the   same   room�察  �the   same   party 

with him for so many hours together�察�might be more than I could 

bear�察�and that scenes might arise unpleasant to more than myself。¨ 

    She highly approved his forbearance�察�and they had leisure for a 

full   discussion     of  it�察 �and  for  all  the  commendation         which    they 

civilly   bestowed   on   each   other�察  �as   Wickham   and   another   officer 

walked   back   with   them   to   Longbourn�察  �and   during   the   walk�察  �he 

particularly attended to her。 His accompanying them was a double 

advantage�察�she felt all the compliment it offered to herself�察�and it 

was    most   acceptable   as     an   occasion     of   introducing   him   to   her 

father and mother。 

    Soon after their return�察�a letter was delivered to Miss Bennet�察�it 

came      from     Netherfield�察    �and     was    opened      immediately。       The 

envelope   contained   a   sheet   of   elegant�察  �little�察  �hot   pressed   paper�察�

well   covered   with   a   lady¨s   fair�察  �flowing   hand�察  �and   Elizabeth   saw 

her    sister¨s   countenance       change     as  she   read    it�察 �and   saw    her 

dwelling   intently   on   some   particular   passages。   Jane          recollected 

herself   soon�察  �and   putting   the   letter   away�察  �tried   to   join   with   her 

usual cheerfulness in the general conversation�察�but Elizabeth felt 

an anxiety on the subject which drew off her attention even from 

Wickham�察�and no sooner had he and   his companion   taken  leave�察�

than a glance from Jane invited her to follow her up stairs。 When 

they had gained their own room�察�Jane taking out the letter�察�said�察�

    `This is from Caroline Bingley�察�what it contains�察  �has surprised 

me a good deal。 The whole party have left Netherfield by this time�察�

and are on their way to town�察�and without any intention of coming 

back again。 You shall hear what she says。¨ 

    She   then   read   the   first   sentence   aloud�察  �which   comprised   the 

information of their having just resolved to follow their brother to

town directly�察�and of their meaning to dine that day in Grosvenor 

street�察�where Mr。 Hurst had a house。 The next was in these words。 

`I do not pretend to regret any thing I shall leave in Hertfordshire�察�

except your society�察�my dearest friend�察�but  we   will   hope   at some 

future period�察�to enjoy many returns of the delightful intercourse 

we   have   known�察  �and   in   the   mean   while   may   lessen   the   pain   of 

separation        by     a    very     frequent       and     most      unreserved 

correspondence。   I   depend   on   you   for   that。¨   To   these   high   flown 

expressions�察�Elizabeth listened with all the insensibility of distrust�察�

and   though   the   suddenness   of   their   removal   surprised   her�察  �she 

saw nothing in it really to lament�察�it was not to be supposed that 

their absence from Netherfield would prevent Mr。 Bingley¨s being 

there�察�and as   to  the   loss  of  their  society�察  �she   was persuaded   that 

Jane must soon cease to regard it�察�in the enjoyment of his。 

    `It is unlucky�察� said she�察�after a short pause�察 �that you should not 

be able to see your friends before they leave the country。 But may 

we   not   hope   that   the   period   of   future   happiness   to   which   Miss 

Bingley  looks   forward�察�may  arrive   earlier  than   she   is   aware�察�and 

that the delightful intercourse you have known as friends�察�will be 

renewed with yet greater satisfaction as sisters�拭�Mr。 Bingley will 

not be detained in London by them。¨ 

    `Caroline decidedly says that none of the party will return into 

Hertfordshire this winter。 I will read it to you! 

    `When      my   brother     left  us  yesterday�察    �he   imagined      that   the 

business which took him to London�察�might be concluded in three 

or four days�察�but as we are certain it cannot be so�察�and at the same 

time   convinced   that  when   Charles   gets   to  town�察  �he   will   be   in   no 

hurry   to   leave    it  again�察  �we   have   determined       on  following     him 

thither�察�that he may not be obliged to spend his vacant hours in a

comfortless hotel。 Many of my acquaintance are already there for 

the winter�察�I wish I could hear that you�察�my dearest friend�察�had any 

intention     of  making     one    in  the  croud�察   �but   of  that  I  despair。    I 

sincerely hope your Christmas in Hertfordshire may abound in the 

gaieties   which  that  season   generally brings�察  �and   that  your   beaux 

will be so numerous as to prevent your feeling the loss of the three�察�

of whom we shall deprive you。¨ 

    `It is evident by this�察� added Jane�察 �that he comes back no more 

this winter。¨ 

    `It is only evident that Miss Bingley does not mean he should。¨ 

    `Why   will   you   think   so�拭  �It   must  be   his   own   doing。!He   is   his 

own master。 But you do not know all。 I will read you the passage 

which particularly hurts me。 I will have no reserves from you。¨ `Mr。 

Darcy is impatient to see his sister�察�and to confess the truth�察�we are 

scarcely     less   eager    to  meet    her    again。   I  really   do   not   think 

Georgiana        Darcy     has    her   equal     for   beauty�察    �elegance�察    �and 

accomplishments�察  �and          the   affection   she   inspires    in  Louisa    and 

myself�察  �is   heightened   into   something   still   more   interesting�察  �from 

the hope we dare to entertain of her being hereafter  our  sister。   I 

do not know whether I ever before mentioned to you my feelings 

on this subject�察�but I will not leave the country without confiding 

them�察    �and   I  trust   you  will   not  esteem     them    unreasonable。       My 

brother      admires     her    greatly    already�察   �he    will   have    frequent 

opportunity   now   of   seeing   her   on   the   most   intimate   footing�察  �her 

relations all wish the connection as much as his own�察�and a sister¨s 

partiality is not misleading me�察�I think�察  �when   I call   Charles most 

capable       of   engaging      any     woman¨s       heart。    With     all   these 

circumstances to favour an attachment and nothing to prevent it�察�

am   I   wrong�察�my  dearest   Jane�察  �in   indulging   the   hope   of   an   event
