impatiently�察   �he   would   not   have   danced   half   so   much�   �For   God¨s 

sake�察  �say   no   more   of   his   partners。   Oh�   �that   he   had   sprained   his 

ancle in the first dance� � 

    `Oh�   �my   dear�察�   continued   Mrs。       Bennet�察     �I   am  quite   delighted 

with     him。   He    is  so  excessively     handsome�       �and    his   sisters   are 

charming   women。   I   never   in   my  life   saw   any   thing   more   elegant 

than their dresses。 I dare say the lace upon Mrs。 Hurst¨s gown!¨ 

    Here   she   was   interrupted   again。   Mr。   Bennet  protested   against 

any     description     of   finery。   She    was    therefore     obliged     to  seek 

another branch of the subject�察�and related�察�with much bitterness of 

spirit and some exaggeration�察�the shocking rudeness of Mr。 Darcy。 

    `But I can assure you�察�she added�察 �that Lizzy does not lose much 

by not suiting his fancy�察�for he is a most disagreeable�察�horrid man�察�

not at all worth pleasing。 So high and so conceited that there was 

no enduring him� �He walked here�察�and he walked there�察�fancying 

himself so very great� �Not handsome enough to dance with� �I wish 

you   had   been   there�察  �my   dear�察  �to   have   given   him   one   of   your   set 

downs。 I quite detest the man。¨

                               CHAPTER IV 



               hen   Jane   and   Elizabeth   were   alone�察  �the   former�察  �who 

Whad been cautious in her praise of Mr。 Bingley before�察�

               expressed   to   her   sister   how   very   much   she   admired 

him。 

    `He   is   just  what  a   young  man   ought   to   be�察�   said   she�察   �sensible�察�

good humoured�察�lively�察�and I never saw such happy manners� �so 

much ease�察�with such perfect good breeding� � 

    `He   is   also   handsome�察�   replied   Elizabeth�察   �which   a   young   man 

ought   likewise   to   be�察  �if   he   possibly   can。   His   character   is   thereby 

complete。¨ 

    `I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance   a second 

time。 I did not expect such a compliment。¨ 

    `Did   not   you�拭 �I  did   for   you。   But   that   is   one   great   difference 

between      us。  Compliments   always         take  you   by   surprise�察  �and  me 

never。 What could be more natural than his asking you again�拭�He 

could not help seeing  that  you  were   about  five   times   as   pretty  as 

every other woman in the room。 No thanks to his gallantry for that。 

Well�察  �he   certainly   is   very   agreeable�察  �and   I   give   you   leave   to   like 

him。 You have liked many a stupider person。¨ 

    `Dear Lizzy� � 

    `Oh�   �you   are   a   great   deal   too   apt   you   know�察  �to   like   people   in 

general。 You never see a fault in any body。 All the world are good 

and agreeable in your eyes。 I never heard you speak ill of a human 

being in my life。¨ 

    `I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one�察�but I always

speak what I think。¨ 

    `I   know   you   do�察  �and   it   is  that  which   makes   the   wonder。   With 

your good sense�察�to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense 

of others� �Affectation of candour is common enough�察�one meets it 

every   where。   But   to   be   candid   without   ostentation   or   design!to 

take the good of every body¨s character and make it still better�察�and 

say nothing of the bad!belongs to you alone。 And so�察�you like this 

man¨s sisters too�察�do you�拭�Their manners are not equal to his。¨ 

    `Certainly not�察�at first。 But they are very pleasing women when 

you  converse   with   them。   Miss   Bingley   is   to   live   with   her   brother 

and keep his house�察�and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a 

very charming neighbour in her。¨ 

    Elizabeth      listened    in  silence�察   �but   was    not   convinced�察     �their 

behaviour   at   the   assembly   had   not   been   calculated   to   please   in 

general�察�and with more quickness of  observation and   less   pliancy 

of temper than her sister�察�and   with  a   judgment  too  unassailed by 

any   attention   to   herself�察  �she   was   very   little   disposed   to   approve 

them。     They   were     in  fact   very   fine  ladies�察  �not   deficient   in  good 

humour       when     they   were     pleased�察   �nor   in   the   power    of   being 

agreeable where they chose it�察�but proud and conceited。 They were 

rather   handsome�察  �had   been   educated   in   one   of   the   first   private 

seminaries       in  town�察  �had    a  fortune    of  twenty    thousand      pounds�察�

were     in  the   habit    of  spending     more     than   they    ought�察   �and   of 

associating      with    people    of  rank�察   �and    were    therefore     in  every 

respect entitled to think well of themselves�察�and meanly of others。 

They     were    of  a  respectable      family   in   the  north    of  England�察    �a 

circumstance more deeply impressed on their memories than that 

their brother¨s fortune and their own had been acquired by trade。 

    Mr。    Bingley     inherited    property     to  the   amount      of  nearly    an

hundred   thousand   pounds   from   his   father�察  �who   had   intended   to 

purchase an estate�察�but did not live to do it。 Mr。 Bingley intended it 

likewise�察�and sometimes made choice of his county�察�but as he was 

now provided with a good house and the liberty of a manor�察�it was 

doubtful      to  many    of  those   who    best   knew     the  easiness    of  his 

temper�察�whether he might not spend the remainder of his days at 

Netherfield�察�and leave the next generation to purchase。 

    His sisters were very anxious for his having an estate of his own�察�

but though he was now established only as a tenant�察�Miss Bingley 

was   by  no   means   unwilling   to   preside   at   his   table�察  �nor   was   Mrs。 

Hurst�察�who had married a man of more fashion than fortune�察�less 

disposed to consider his house as her home when it suited her。 Mr。 

Bingley had not been of age two years�察�when he was tempted by an 

accidental   recommendation   to   look   at  Netherfield   House。   He   did 

look at it and into it for half an hour�察�was pleased with the situation 

and the principal rooms�察�satisfied with what the owner said in  its 

praise�察�and took it immediately。 

    Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship�察�in 

spite of a great opposition of character。!Bingley was endeared to 

Darcy by the easiness�察�openness�察�ductility of his temper�察�though no 

disposition   could   offer   a   greater   contrast   to   his   own�察  �and   though 

with   his   own   he   never   appeared   dissatisfied。   On   the   strength   of 

Darcy¨s      regard    Bingley     had   the   firmest    reliance�察   �and    of  his 

judgment   the      highest   opinion。   In   understanding   Darcy   was         the 

superior。 Bingley was by no means deficient�察�but Darcy was clever。 

He was at the same time haughty�察�reserved�察�and fastidious�察�and his 

manners�察 �though  well   bred�察  �were not  inviting。   In   that   respect   his 

friend had greatly the advantage。 Bingley was sure of being  liked 

wherever he appeared�察�Darcy was continually giving offence。
