Mr。 Darcy。¨ 

    `He    likes  to   have   his   own    way    very   well�察�  replied    Colonel 

Fitzwilliam。 `But so we all do。 It is only that he has better means of 

having it than  many  others�察  �because  he is   rich�察 �and many  others 

are   poor。   I   speak   feelingly。   A   younger   son�察  �you   know�察  �must   be 

inured to self´denial and dependence。¨ 

    `In my opinion�察�the younger son of an Earl can know very little 

of either。 Now�察�seriously�察�what have you ever known of self´denial 

and    dependence�拭       �When     have    you   been   prevented      by   want    of 

money from going wherever you chose�察�or procuring any thing you 

had a fancy for�拭� 

    `These   are   home   questions!and   perhaps   I   cannot   say   that   I

have experienced many hardships of that nature。 But in matters of 

greater   weight�察  �I   may   suffer   from   the   want   of   money。   Younger 

sons cannot marry where they like。¨ 

    `Unless   where   they  like  women   of   fortune�察  �which   I   think   they 

very often do。¨ 

    `Our  habits   of   expence make   us   too   dependant�察  �and   there   are 

not many in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some 

attention to money。¨ 

    `Is this�察� thought Elizabeth�察 �meant for me�拭� and she coloured at 

the   idea�察�but�察  �recovering  herself�察�said   in a   lively  tone�察   �And   pray�察�

what is the usual price of an Earl¨s younger son�拭�Unless the elder 

brother   is   very   sickly�察  �I   suppose   you   would   not   ask   above   fifty 

thousand pounds。¨ 

    He answered her in the same style�察�and the subject dropped。 To 

interrupt a silence which might make him fancy her affected with 

what had passed�察�she soon afterwards said�察�

    `I imagine   your  cousin brought  you  down   with  him   chiefly  for 

the sake of having somebody at his disposal。 I wonder he does not 

marry�察�to secure a lasting convenience of that kind。 But�察�perhaps 

his sister does as well for the present�察�and�察�as she is under his sole 

care�察�he may do what he likes with her。¨ 

    `No�察�   said   Colonel   Fitzwilliam�察   �that   is   an   advantage   which   he 

must divide with me。 I am joined with him in the guardianship of 

Miss Darcy。¨ 

    `Are    you�察 �indeed�拭    �And    pray   what    sort  of  guardians      do  you 

make�拭�Does your charge give you much trouble�拭�Young ladies of 

her age�察�are sometimes a little difficult to manage�察�and if she has 

the true Darcy spirit�察�she may like to have her own way。¨ 

   As   she  spoke�察  �she   observed   him   looking   at   her   earnestly�察  �and

the manner in which he immediately asked her why she supposed 

Miss Darcy likely to give them any uneasiness�察�convinced her that 

she had somehow or other got pretty near the truth。 She directly 

replied�察�

    `You   need   not   be   frightened。   I   never   heard   any   harm   of   her�察�

and   I   dare   say   she   is   one   of   the   most   tractable   creatures   in   the 

world。     She   is  a  very   great    favourite    with   some     ladies   of  my 

acquaintance�察�Mrs。 Hurst and Miss Bingley。   I   think   I   have   heard 

you say that you know them。¨ 

    `I know them a little。 Their brother is a pleasant gentlemanlike 

man!he is a great friend of Darcy¨s。¨ 

    `Oh� �yes�察� said Elizabeth drily!`Mr。 Darcy is uncommonly kind 

to Mr。 Bingley�察�and takes a prodigious deal of care of him。¨ 

    `Care of him� �Yes�察�I really believe Darcy does take care of him 

in those points where he most wants care。 From something that he 

told me in our journey hither�察�I have reason to think Bingley very 

much indebted to him。 But I ought to beg his pardon�察�for I have no 

right   to   suppose   that   Bingley   was   the   person   meant。   It   was   all 

conjecture。¨ 

    `What is it you mean�拭� 

    `It is a circumstance which Darcy  of  course   would not  wish  to 

be generally known�察�because if it  were   to  get  round   to  the   lady¨s 

family�察�it would be an unpleasant thing。¨ 

    `You may depend upon my not mentioning it。¨ 

    `And remember that I have not much reason for supposing it to 

be     Bingley。     What     he    told   me    was     merely     this�察  �that    he 

congratulated   himself   on   having   lately   saved   a   friend   from        the 

inconveniences         of  a   most    imprudent       marriage�察     �but   without 

mentioning names or any other particulars�察�and I only suspected it

to be Bingley from believing him the kind of young man to get into 

a   scrape     of  that   sort�察 �and    from   knowing      them     to  have    been 

together the whole of last summer。¨ 

    `Did Mr。 Darcy give you his reasons for this interference�拭� 

    `I  understood       that   there   were    some     very   strong    objections 

against the lady。¨ 

    `And what arts did he use to separate them�拭� 

    `He did not talk to me of his own arts�察� said Fitzwilliam smiling。 

`He only told me�察�what I have now told you。¨ 

    Elizabeth   made  no answer�察  �and   walked  on�察  �her  heart  swelling 

with indignation。 After watching her a little�察�Fitzwilliam asked her 

why she was so thoughtful。 

    `I am thinking of what you have been telling me�察� said she。 `Your 

cousin¨s conduct does not suit my feelings。 Why was he to be the 

judge�拭� 

    `You are rather disposed to call his interference officious�拭� 

    `I  do   not   see   what    right   Mr。   Darcy     had    to  decide    on   the 

propriety      of   his   friend¨s   inclination�察    �or   why�察   �upon     his  own 

judgment alone�察�he was to determine and   direct  in   what  manner 

that   friend   was   to   be   happy。¨    `But�察�  she   continued�察    �recollecting 

herself�察    �as  we    know    none    of  the   particulars�察   �it  is  not  fair  to 

condemn        him。   It  is  not  to  be   supposed      that   there   was    much 

affection in the case。¨ 

    `That   is   not   an   unnatural   surmise�察�   said   Fitzwilliam�察   �but   it   is 

lessening the honour of my cousin¨s triumph very sadly。¨ 

    This    was    spoken    jestingly�察  �but   it   appeared    to  her   so  just  a 

picture   of   Mr。   Darcy�察  �that   she    would   not   trust   herself    with   an 

answer�察�and�察�therefore�察�abruptly changing the conversation�察�talked 

on indifferent matters till they reached the parsonage。 There�察�shut

think without interruption of all that she had heard。 It was not to 

be supposed that any other people could be meant than those with 

whom she was connected。 There could not exist in the world two 

men�察�over whom Mr。 Darcy could have such boundless influence。 

That   he   had   been   concerned   in   the   measures   taken   to   separate 

Mr。 Bingley and Jane�察�she had never doubted�察�but she had always 

attributed   to  Miss   Bingley  the   principal   design   and arrangement 

of them。 If his own vanity�察�however�察�did not  mislead   him�察�he was 

the cause�察�his pride and caprice were the cause of all that Jane had
