formality   to   his   humble   abode�察  �and   punctually   repeated              all  his 

wife¨s offers of refreshment。 

    Elizabeth was prepared to see him in his   glory�察  �and   she  could 

not   help   fancying   that   in   displaying   the   good   proportion   of   the 

room�察      �its   aspect     and     its   furniture�察     �he    addressed       himself 

particularly to her�察�as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost 

in    refusing     him。     But    though     every     thing    seemed       neat    and 

comfortable�察       �she   was    not    able   to   gratify   him    by   any    sigh   of 

repentance�察�and rather looked with wonder at her friend that she 

could have so cheerful an air�察�with such a   companion。   When   Mr。 

Collins     said   any    thing    of  which     his  wife    might    reasonably       be 

ashamed�察       �which     certainly    was    not   unseldom�察      �she   involuntarily 

turned   her   eye   on   Charlotte。   Once   or   twice   she   could   discern   a 

faint   blush�察  �but   in   general   Charlotte   wisely   did   not   hear。   After 

sitting   long   enough   to   admire        every    article    of  furniture    in   the 

room�察�from the sideboard to the fender�察�to give an account of their 

journey      and    of  all  that   had   happened        in  London�察     �Mr。   Collins 

invited   them   to  take   a   stroll   in   the   garden�察  �which   was   large   and 

well laid out�察�and to the cultivation of which he attended himself。 

To work in his garden was one of his most respectable pleasures�察�

and Elizabeth admired the   command   of  countenance   with  which 

Charlotte   talked   of   the   healthfulness   of   the   exercise�察  �and   owned 

she    encouraged   it   as   much   as   possible。        Here�察   �leading     the   way 

through every walk and cross walk�察�and scarcely allowing them an 

interval to utter the praises he asked for�察�every view was pointed 

out with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind。 He could 

number   the   fields   in   every   direction�察  �and   could   tell        how   many 

trees   there   were   in   the   most   distant   clump。   But   of   all   the   views

which   his   garden�察  �or   which   the   country�察  �or   the   kingdom   could 

boast�察  �none   were   to   be   compared   with   the   prospect   of   Rosings�察�

afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered the park nearly 

opposite      the    front   of   his   house。     It  was    a  handsome        modern 

building�察�well situated on rising ground。 

    From   his   garden�察  �Mr。   Collins   would   have   led   them   round   his 

two   meadows�察  �but   the   ladies   not   having   shoes   to   encounter   the 

remains       of  a  white     frost�察 �turned     back�察   �and    while    Sir   William 

accompanied   him�察  �Charlotte   took   her   sister   and   friend   over   the 

house�察�extremely  well pleased�察  �probably�察  �to  have   the   opportunity 

of shewing it without her husband¨s help。 It was rather small�察�but 

well    built   and    convenient�察      �and   every     thing   was    fitted   up    and 

arranged with a neatness and consistency of which Elizabeth gave 

Charlotte all the credit。 When Mr。 Collins could be forgotten�察�there 

was   really   a   great   air   of   comfort   throughout�察  �and   by   Charlotte¨s 

evident      enjoyment       of  it�察 �Elizabeth     supposed      he   must     be   often 

forgotten。 

    She   had   already   learnt   that   Lady   Catherine            was   still  in   the 

country。 It was spoken of again   while   they  were   at  dinner�察  �when 

Mr。 Collins joining in�察�observed�察�

    `Yes�察  �Miss  Elizabeth�察  �you   will   have   the   honour   of   seeing   Lady 

Catherine de Bourgh on the ensuing Sunday at church�察�and I need 

not   say   you   will   be   delighted   with   her。   She   is   all   affability   and 

condescension�察  �and   I   doubt   not   but   you   will   be   honoured   with 

some   portion   of   her   notice   when   service   is   over。   I   have   scarcely 

any   hesitation   in   saying   that   she   will   include   you   and   my   sister 

Maria in every invitation with which she honours us during your 

stay   here。   Her   behaviour   to   my   dear   Charlotte   is   charming。   We 

dine at Rosings twice every week�察�and are never allowed to  walk

home。 Her ladyship¨s carriage is regularly ordered for us。 I should 

say�察�one of her ladyship¨s carriages�察�for she has several。¨ 

    `Lady Catherine is a very respectable�察�sensible woman indeed�察� 

added Charlotte�察 �and a most attentive neighbour。¨ 

    `Very true�察�my dear�察�that is exactly what I say。 She is the sort of 

woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference。¨ 

    The    evening   was   spent   chiefly   in    talking   over   Hertfordshire 

news�察�and telling again what had been already written�察�and when 

it closed�察�Elizabeth in the solitude of her chamber had to meditate 

upon      Charlotte¨s    degree     of   contentment�察     �to   understand       her 

address in guiding�察�and composure in bearing with her  husband�察�

and to acknowledge that it was all done very well。 She had also to 

anticipate how her visit would pass�察�the quiet tenor of their usual 

employments�察  �the  vexatious interruptions   of  Mr。   Collins�察 �and   the 

gaieties    of  their   intercourse    with   Rosings。    A   lively   imagination 

soon settled it all。 

   About   the   middle      of  the   next   day�察 �as  she   was   in  her   room 

getting  ready  for   a   walk�察  �a   sudden   noise   below   seemed   to   speak 

the   whole   house   in   confusion�察  �and   after   listening   a   moment�察  �she 

heard somebody running up stairs in a violent hurry�察�and calling 

loudly    after   her。  She    opened     the  door�察  �and   met    Maria    in  the 

landing place�察�who�察�breathless with agitation�察�cried out�察�

    `Oh�察�my dear Eliza� �pray make haste and come into the dining´ 

room�察�for there is such a sight to be seen� �I will not tell you what it 

is。 Make haste�察�and come down this moment。¨ 

    Elizabeth asked questions in vain�察�Maria would tell her nothing 

more�察�and down they ran into the dining´room�察�which fronted the 

lane�察�in quest of this wonder�察�it was   two  ladies   stopping  in a   low 

phaeton at the garden gate。

    `And   is   this   all�拭�   cried   Elizabeth。   `I   expected   at   least   that   the 

pigs    were    got   into  the   garden�察    �and   here    is  nothing    but   Lady 

Catherine and her daughter� � 

    `La� �my dear�察� said Maria quite shocked at the mistake�察 �it is not 

Lady   Catherine。   The   old   lady   is   Mrs。   Jenkinson�察  �who   lives   with 

them。 The other is Miss De Bourgh。 Only look at her。 She is quite 

a little creature。 Who would have thought she could be so thin and 

small� � 

    `She   is   abominably   rude   to   keep   Charlotte   out   of   doors   in   all 

this wind。 Why does she not come in�拭� 

    `Oh�   �Charlotte   says�察  �she   hardly   ever   does。   It   is   the   greatest   of 

favours when Miss De Bourgh comes in。 

    `I like her appearance�察� said Elizabeth�察�struck with other ideas。 

`She   looks   sickly   and   cross。!Yes�察  �she   will   do   for   him   very   well。 

She will make him a very proper wife。¨
