evil    to  Elizabeth�察     �and    upon     the   whole     she    spent    her    time 

comfortably         enough�察      �there     were     half    hours      of    pleasant 

conversation  with  Charlotte�察  �and   the   weather  was   so  fine   for  the 

time of year�察�that she had often great enjoyment out of doors。 Her 

favourite   walk�察  �and   where   she   frequently   went   while   the   others 

were calling on Lady Catherine�察�was along the open grove which 

edged that side of the park�察�where there was a nice sheltered path�察�

which   no   one   seemed   to   value   but   herself�察  �and        where    she   felt 

beyond the reach of Lady Catherine¨s curiosity。 

    In   this   quiet   way�察  �the   first   fortnight   of   her   visit   soon   passed 

away。 Easter was approaching�察�and the week preceding it�察�was to 

bring   an   addition   to   the   family   at   Rosings�察  �which   in   so   small   a 

circle    must    be   important。      Elizabeth     had   heard     soon    after  her 

arrival�察�that Mr。 Darcy was expected there in the course of a few 

weeks�察     �and   though     there    were    not   many     of  her   acquaintance 

whom        she   did    not    prefer�察   �his   coming      would      furnish     one 

comparatively   new   to   look   at   in   their   Rosings   parties�察  �and        she 

might   be   amused   in   seeing   how   hopeless   Miss   Bingley¨s   designs 

on   him   were�察  �by   his   behaviour   to   his   cousin�察  �for   whom   he   was 

evidently   destined   by   Lady   Catherine�察  �who   talked   of   his   coming 

with the greatest satisfaction�察�spoke of him in terms of the highest 

admiration�察�and seemed almost angry to find that he had already 

been frequently seen by Miss Lucas and herself。 

    His   arrival   was   soon   known   at   the   Parsonage�察  �for   Mr。   Collins 

was walking the whole morning within view of the lodges opening 

into Hunsford Lane�察�in order to have the earliest assurance   of it�察�

and   after   making   his   bow   as   the   carriage   turned   into   the   Park�察�

hurried      home      with    the   great    intelligence。     On    the    following 

morning  he   hastened   to  Rosings   to  pay  his   respects。   There   were

two   nephews   of   Lady   Catherine   to   require   them�察  �for   Mr。   Darcy 

had   brought   with   him   a   Colonel   Fitzwilliam�察  �the   younger   son   of 

his uncle�察�Lord ! and to the great surprise of all the party�察�when 

Mr。   Collins   returned   the   gentlemen   accompanied   him。   Charlotte 

had   seen   them   from   her  husband¨s   room�察  �crossing  the   road�察  �and 

immediately running into the other�察�told the girls what an honour 

they might expect�察�adding�察�

    `I   may   thank   you�察  �Eliza�察   �for   this  piece  of  civility。  Mr。   Darcy 

would never have come so soon to wait upon me。¨ 

    Elizabeth      had    scarcely     time    to   disclaim     all  right    to   the 

compliment�察  �before   their   approach   was   announced   by   the   door´ 

bell�察�and shortly afterwards the three gentlemen entered the room。 

Colonel      Fitzwilliam�察    �who     led   the   way�察  �was    about     thirty�察  �not 

handsome�察�but   in   person   and   address   most   truly   the   gentleman。 

Mr。     Darcy     looked      just   as   he    had    been     used    to   look    in 

Hertfordshire�察  �paid   his       compliments�察      �with   his   usual   reserve�察  �to 

Mrs。     Collins�察  �and    whatever     might    be   his   feelings   towards      her 

friend�察  �met   her   with   every   appearance   of   composure。   Elizabeth 

merely curtseyed to him�察�without saying a word。 

    Colonel Fitzwilliam entered into conversation directly with the 

readiness and ease of a well´bred man�察�and talked very pleasantly�察�

but his cousin�察�after having addressed a slight observation on the 

house     and    garden     to  Mrs。    Collins�察  �sat  for   some    time    without 

speaking   to   any   body。   At  length�察  �however�察  �his   civility   was   so   far 

awakened as to enquire of Elizabeth after the health of her family。 

She answered him in the usual way�察�and after a moment¨s pause�察�

added�察�

    `My   eldest   sister   has   been   in   town   these   three   months。   Have 

you never happened to see her there�拭�

    She was perfectly sensible that he never had�察�but she wished to 

see    whether     he   would     betray    any    consciousness       of  what    had 

passed between the Bingleys and Jane�察�and she thought he looked 

a   little  confused     as   he   answered      that   he   had    never    been    so 

fortunate   as   to   meet   Miss   Bennet。   The   subject   was   pursued   no 

farther�察�and the gentlemen soon afterwards went away。

                            CHAPTER VIII 



           olonel Fitzwilliam¨s manners were very much admired at 

           the   parsonage�察  �and   the   ladies   all   felt   that   he   must   add 

 C 

           considerably      to  the   pleasure    of  their   engagements       at 

Rosings。     It  was  some    days�察  �however�察    �before   they   received   any 

invitation thither�察�for while there were visitors in the house�察�they 

could   not   be   necessary�察  �and   it   was   not   till   Easter´day�察  �almost   a 

week   after   the   gentlemen¨s   arrival�察  �that   they   were   honoured   by 

such   an   attention�察  �and   then   they   were   merely   asked   on   leaving 

church to come there in the evening。 For  the   last  week   they  had 

seen very little of either Lady Catherine or her daughter。 Colonel 

Fitzwilliam had called at the parsonage more than once during the 

time�察�but Mr。 Darcy they had only seen at church。 

   The   invitation   was   accepted   of   course�察  �and   at   a   proper   hour 

they    joined   the  party   in  Lady    Catherine¨s     drawing    room。    Her 

ladyship received them civilly�察�but it was plain that their company 

was by no means so acceptable as when she could get nobody else�察�

and she was�察�in fact�察�almost engrossed by her nephews�察�speaking 

to them�察�especially to Darcy�察�much more than to any other person 

in the room。 

   Colonel  Fitzwilliam   seemed   really  glad   to  see   them�察�any   thing 

was a welcome relief to him at Rosings�察�and Mrs。 Collins¨s pretty 

friend had moreover caught his fancy very much。 He now seated 

himself by her�察�and talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire�察�

of   travelling  and   staying   at   home�察  �of   new   books   and   music�察  �that 

Elizabeth   had   never   been   half   so   well   entertained   in   that   room

before�察  �and   they   conversed   with   so   much   spirit   and   flow�察  �as   to 

draw   the   attention   of   Lady   Catherine   herself�察  �as   well   as   of   Mr。 

Darcy。  His     eyes   had   been   soon   and        repeatedly   turned       towards 

them with a look of curiosity�察�and that her ladyship after a   while 

shared the feeling�察�was more openly acknowledged�察�for she did not 

scruple to call out�察�
