sit down to a family dinner。 When the engagement was for home�察�

some of the officers always made   part  of  it�察  �of  which  officers   Mr。 

Wickham        was    sure   to  be   one�察  �and    on   these   occasions�察    �Mrs。 

Gardiner�察        �rendered        suspicious        by      Elizabeth¨s        warm 

commendation          of  him�察  �narrowly     observed     them    both。    Without 

supposing them�察�from what she saw�察�to be  very  seriously  in  love�察�

their   preference   of   each   other   was   plain   enough   to   make   her   a 

little uneasy�察�and she resolved to speak to Elizabeth on the subject 

before she left Hertfordshire�察�and represent to her the imprudence 

of encouraging such an attachment。 

    To    Mrs。    Gardiner�察    �Wickham       had    one   means      of  affording 

pleasure�察  �unconnected   with   his   general   powers。   About   ten   or   a 

dozen      years     ago�察  �before     her    marriage�察    �she    had     spent    a 

considerable   time   in   that   very   part   of   Derbyshire�察  �to   which   he 

belonged。   They   had�察  �therefore�察  �many   acquaintance   in   common�察�

and�察   �though   Wickham        had   been   little  there   since   the   death    of 

Darcy¨s father�察�five years before�察�it was yet in his power to give her 

fresher intelligence of her former friends�察�than she had been in the 

way of procuring。 

    Mrs。   Gardiner   had   seen   Pemberley�察  �and   known   the   late   Mr。 

Darcy     by   character     perfectly    well。  Here    consequently       was    an 

inexhaustible   subject  of  discourse。   In   comparing   her   recollection 

of Pemberley�察�with the minute description which Wickham could 

give�察�and in bestowing her tribute of praise on the character of its 

late possessor�察�she was delighting both him and herself。 On being 

made acquainted with the   present  Mr。   Darcy¨s   treatment  of   him�察�

she    tried   to  remember      something      of  that   gentleman¨s      reputed 

disposition when quite a lad�察�which might agree with it�察  �and   was 

confident at last�察�that she recollected having heard Mr。 Fitzwilliam

              kindly     given   on   the  first  favourable    opportunity      of 

M 

              speaking  to  her  alone�察�after   honestly   telling   her   what 

she thought�察�she thus went on�此�

    `You are too sensible a girl�察�Lizzy�察�to fall in love merely because 

you    are  warned     against    it�察 �and�察 �therefore�察  �I  am   not   afraid  of 

speaking openly。 Seriously�察�I would have you be on your guard。 Do 

not  involve   yourself�察  �or  endeavour  to  involve   him   in   an   affection 

which the want of fortune would make so very imprudent。 I have 

nothing   to   say   against  him�察 �he   is   a   most   interesting   young   man�察�

and   if   he   had   the   fortune   he   ought   to   have�察  �I   should   think   you 

could not do better But as it is!you must not let your fancy run 

away  with  you。   You   have   sense�察  �and   we   all   expect   you   to   use   it。 

Your father would depend on your resolution and good conduct�察�I 

am sure。 You must not disappoint your father。¨ 

    `My dear aunt�察�this is being serious indeed。¨ 

    `Yes�察�and I hope to engage you to be serious likewise。¨ 

    `Well�察�then�察�you need not be under any alarm。 I will take care of 

myself�察�and of Mr。 Wickham too。 He shall not be in love with me�察�if 

I can prevent it。¨ 

    `Elizabeth�察�you are not serious now。 

    `I beg your pardon。 I will try again。 At present I am not in love 

with   Mr   Wickham�察  �no�察  �I   certainly   am   not。   But   he   is�察  �beyond   all 

comparison�察      �the   most    agreeable    man     I  ever   saw!and      if  he 

becomes really attached to me!I believe it will be better that he

should   not。   I   see   the   imprudence   of   it。   Oh�  �that  abominable   Mr。 

Darcy � �My father¨s opinion of me does me the greatest honour�察�

and   I   should    be   miserable   to    forfeit  it。  My   father�察  �however�察    �is 

partial to Mr。 Wickham。 In short�察�my dear aunt�察�I should be   very 

sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy�察�but since we 

see    every   day   that   where     there   is  affection�察  �young     people    are 

seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune�察�from entering into 

engagements with each other�察�how can I promise to be wiser than 

so many of my fellow creatures if I am tempted�察�or how am I even 

to know that it would be wisdom to resist�拭�All that I can promise 

you�察�therefore�察�is not to be in a   hurry。   I   will not  be in a   hurry  to 

believe myself his first object。 When I am in company with him�察�I 

will not be wishing。 In short�察�I will do my best。¨ 

    `Perhaps it will be as well�察�if you discourage his coming here so 

very often。 At least�察�you should not remind your Mother of inviting 

him。 

    `As I did the other day�察� said Elizabeth�察�with a conscious smile�察�

`very   true�察  �it   will   be   wise  in   me   to   refrain   from  that。  But   do   not 

imagine that he is always here so often。 It is on your account that 

he    has   been    so   frequently     invited    this   week。    You    know     my 

mother¨s   ideas   as   to   the   necessity   of   constant   company   for   her 

friends。   But   really�察  �and   upon   my   honour�察  �I   will   try   to   do   what   I 

think to be wisest�察�and now�察�I hope you are satisfied。¨ 

    Her    aunt    assured     her   that   she   was�察  �and    Elizabeth     having 

thanked her for the kindness of her hints�察�they parted�察�a wonderful 

instance     of   advice   being    given   on   such   a  point�察  �without     being 

resented。 

    Mr。 Collins returned into  Hertfordshire   soon  after  it  had been 

quitted   by   the   Gardiners   and   Jane�察  �but   as   he   took   up   his   abode

Bennet。   His   marriage   was   now  fast  approaching�察  �and   she   was   at 

length so far resigned as to think it inevitable�察�and even repeatedly 

to say in an ill´natured tone that she `wished they might be happy。¨ 

Thursday   was   to   be   the   wedding   day�察  �and   on   Wednesday   Miss 

Lucas   paid   her   farewell   visit�察  �and   when   she   rose   to   take   leave�察�

Elizabeth�察�ashamed of her mother¨s ungracious and reluctant good 

wishes�察�and sincerely affected herself�察�accompanied her out of the 

room。 As they went down stairs together�察�Charlotte said�察�

    `I shall depend on hearing from you very often�察�Eliza。¨ 

    `That you certainly shall。¨

    `I  am    not  likely   to  leave   Kent    for  some     time。   Promise     me�察�

therefore�察�to come to Hunsford。¨

the visit。
