occasioned his intruding on Miss Bennet�察 �and after sitting a few
minutes longer without saying much to any body�察�went away。
`What can be the meaning of this� � said Charlotte�察�as soon as he
was gone。 `My dear Eliza he must be in love with you�察�or he would
never have called on us in this familiar way。¨
But when Elizabeth told of his silence�察 �it did not seem very
likely�察�even to Charlotte¨s wishes�察�to be the case�察�and after various
conjectures�察 �they could at last only suppose his visit to proceed
from the difficulty of finding any thing to do�察�which was the more
probable from the time of year。 All field sports were over。 Within
doors there was Lady Catherine�察 �books�察 �and a billiard table�察 �but
gentlemen cannot be always within doors�察�and in the nearness of
the Parsonage�察 �or the pleasantness of the walk to it�察 �or of the
people who lived in it�察 �the two cousins found a temptation from
this period of walking thither almost every day。 They called at
various times of the morning�察 �sometimes separately�察 �sometimes
together�察 �and now and then accompanied by their aunt。 It was
plain to them all that Colonel Fitzwilliam came because he had
pleasure in their society�察 �a persuasion which of course
recommended him still more�察�and Elizabeth was reminded by her
own satisfaction in being with him�察 �as well as by his evident
admiration of her�察 �of her former favourite George Wickham�察 �and
though�察 �in comparing them�察 �she saw there was less captivating

softness in Colonel Fitzwilliam¨s manners�察 �she believed he might
have the best informed mind。
But why Mr。 Darcy came so often to the Parsonage�察�it was more
difficult to understand。 It could not be for society�察�as he frequently
sat there ten minutes together without opening his lips�察�and when
he did speak�察 �it seemed the effect of necessity rather than of
choice!a sacrifice to propriety�察 �not a pleasure to himself。 He
seldom appeared really animated。 Mrs。 Collins knew not what to
make of him。 Colonel Fitzwilliam¨s occasionally laughing at his
stupidity�察 �proved that he was generally different�察 �which her own
knowledge of him could not have told her�察�and as she would have
liked to believe this change the effect of love�察�and the object of that
love�察 �her friend Eliza�察 �she sat herself seriously to work to find it
out。!She watched him whenever they were at Rosings�察 �and
whenever he came to Hunsford�察 �but without much success。 He
certainly looked at her friend a great deal�察 �but the expression of
that look was disputable。 It was an earnest�察�steadfast gaze�察�but she
often doubted whether there were much admiration in it�察 �and
sometimes it seemed nothing but absence of mind。
She had once or twice suggested to Elizabeth the possibility of
his being partial to her�察�but Elizabeth always laughed at the idea�察�
and Mrs。 Collins did not think it right to press the subject�察 �from
the danger of raising expectations which might only end in
disappointment�察�for in her opinion it admitted not of a doubt�察�that
all her friend¨s dislike would vanish�察�if she could suppose him to be
in her power。
In her kind schemes for Elizabeth�察�she sometimes planned her
marrying Colonel Fitzwilliam。 He was beyond comparison the
pleasantest man�察�he certainly admired her�察�and his situation in life

was most eligible�察 �but�察 �to counterbalance these advantages�察 �Mr。
Darcy had considerable patronage in the church�察 �and his cousin
could have none at all。

CHAPTER X
ore than once did Elizabeth in her ramble within the
Park�察 �unexpectedly meet Mr。 Darcy。!She felt all the
M
perverseness of the mischance that should bring him
where no one else was brought�察�and to prevent its ever happening
again�察�took care to inform him at first�察�that it was a favourite haunt
of hers。!How it could occur a second time therefore was very
odd� �Yet it did�察�and even a third。 It seemed like wilful ill´nature�察�
or a voluntary penance�察�for on these occasions it was not merely a
few formal enquiries and an awkward pause and then away�察 �but
he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her。
He never said a great deal�察�nor did she give herself the trouble of
talking or of listening much�察�but it struck her in the course of their
third rencontre that he was asking some odd unconnected
questions!about her pleasure in being at Hunsford�察 �her love of
solitary walks�察 �and her opinion of Mr。 and Mrs。 Collins¨s
happiness�察�and that in speaking of Rosings and her not perfectly
understanding the house�察�he seemed to expect that whenever she
came into Kent again she would be staying there too。 His words
seemed to imply it。 Could he have Colonel Fitzwilliam in his
thoughts�拭�She supposed�察�if he meant any thing�察�he must mean an
allusion to what might arise in that quarter。 It distressed her a
little�察�and she was quite glad to find herself at the gate in the pales
opposite the Parsonage。
She was engaged one day as she walked�察�in re´perusing Jane¨s
last letter�察�and dwelling on some passages which proved that Jane

had not written in spirits�察�when�察�instead of being again surprised
by Mr。 Darcy�察�she saw on looking up that Colonel Fitzwilliam was
meeting her。 Putting away the letter immediately and forcing a
smile�察�she said�察�
`I did not know before that you ever walked this way。¨
`I have been making the tour of the Park�察� he replied�察 �as I
generally do every year�察 �and intend to close it with a call at the
Parsonage。 Are you going much farther�拭�
`No�察�I should have turned in a moment。¨
And accordingly she did turn�察 �and they walked towards the
Parsonage together。
`Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday�拭� said she。
`Yes!if Darcy does not put it off again。 But I am at his disposal。
He arranges the business just as he pleases。¨
`And if not able to please himself in the arrangement�察�he has at
least great pleasure in the power of choice。 I do not know any body
who seems more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than
Mr。 Darcy。¨
`He likes to have his own way very well�察� replied Colonel
Fitzwilliam。 `But so we all do。
