with   the   fullest   belief   of   your   arrogance�察  �your   conceit�察  �and   your 

selfish disdain of the feelings of others�察�were such as to form that 

ground´work of disapprobation�察�on which succeeding events have 

built so immoveable a dislike�察�and I had not known you a  month 

before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could 

ever be prevailed on to marry。¨ 

    `You  have   said   quite   enough�察  �madam。   I   perfectly   comprehend 

your feelings�察�and have now only to be ashamed of what my own 

have been。 Forgive me for having taken up so much of your time�察�

and accept my best wishes for your health and happiness。¨ 

    And   with   these   words   he   hastily   left   the   room�察  �and   Elizabeth 

heard   him      the   next   moment   open   the   front   door   and      quit   the 

house。 

    The tumult of her mind was now painfully great。 She knew not 

how  to   support   herself�察  �and   from   actual   weakness   sat  down   and 

cried for half an hour。 Her astonishment�察�as she reflected on what 

had passed�察�was increased by every review of it。 That she should 

receive an offer of marriage from Mr。 Darcy� �that he should have 

been in love with her for so many months� �so much in love as   to 

wish   to   marry   her   in   spite   of   all   the   objections   which   had   made 

him     prevent    his   friend¨s   marrying      her  sister�察  �and   which    must 

appear      at  least  with    equal   force   in   his  own    case�察  �was   almost 

incredible�      �it  was   gratifying    to  have   inspired    unconsciously       so 

strong     an   affection。    But   his   pride�察  �his   abominable       pride�察  �his 

shameless  avowal   of  what  he  had   done   with   respect   to   Jane�察  �his 

unpardonable   assurance   in   acknowledging�察  �though   he   could   not 

justify   it�察  �and   the   unfeeling   manner   in   which   he   had   mentioned 

Mr。 Wickham�察�his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to 

deny�察    �soon    overcame      the   pity  which     the   consideration      of  his

attachment had for a moment excited。 

    She    continued   in     very   agitating    reflections    till  the  sound    of 

Lady Catherine's carriage made her feel how unequal she was to 

encounter   Charlotte's   observation�察  �and   hurried   her   away   to   her 

room。

           lizabeth   awoke   the   next   morning   to   the   same   thoughts 

           and meditations which had at length closed her eyes。 She 

E 

           could    not   yet  recover    from   the   surprise    of  what   had 

happened�察�it was impossible to think of any thing else�察�and totally 

indisposed   for   employment�察  �she   resolved   soon   after   breakfast   to 

indulge herself in air and exercise。 She was proceeding directly to 

her favourite walk�察�when the recollection of Mr。 Darcy's sometimes 

coming  there   stopped   her�察  �and   instead   of   entering   the   park�察  �she 

turned up the lane�察�which led her farther from the turnpike road。 

The park paling was still the boundary on one side�察�and she soon 

passed one of the gates into the ground。 

   After walking two or three times along that part of the lane�察�she 

was   tempted�察  �by   the   pleasantness   of   the   morning�察  �to   stop   at   the 

gates and look into the   park。   The   five   weeks   which  she   had now 

passed   in   Kent�察  �had  made a   great  difference   in   the   country�察  �and 

every day was adding to the verdure of the early trees。 She was on 

the point of continuing her walk�察�when she caught a glimpse of a 

gentleman within the sort of grove which edged the park�察�he was 

moving      that  way�察  �and   fearful   of  its  being  Mr。   Darcy�察   �she  was 

directly  retreating。   But  the   person   who   advanced�察  �was   now   near 

enough      to   see   her�察  �and    stepping     forward     with    eagerness�察�

pronounced       her   name。    She   had    turned   away�察   �but   on  hearing 

herself called�察�though in a voice which proved it to be Mr。 Darcy�察�

she moved again towards the gate。 He had by that time reached it 

also�察  �and   holding   out   a   letter�察  �which   she   instinctively   took�察  �said

with   a   look   of   haughty   composure�察   �I   have   been   walking   in   the 

grove some time in the hope of meeting  you。   Will  you  do  me   the 

honour      of  reading     that   letter�拭�!And        then�察  �with    a  slight   bow�察�

turned again into the plantation�察�and was soon out of sight。 

    With     no    expectation      of   pleasure�察    �but    with    the    strongest 

curiosity�察  �Elizabeth   opened   the   letter�察  �and   to   her   still   increasing 

wonder�察     �perceived      an   envelope     containing     two    sheets    of  letter 

paper�察�written quite through�察�in a very close hand。!The envelope 

itself was likewise full。!Pursuing her way along the lane�察�she then 

began      it。  It  was   dated    from    Rosings�察    �at   eight   o¨clock    in   the 

morning�察�and was as follows�此� 

    `Be    not   alarmed�察     �Madam�察      �on   receiving     this   letter�察  �by   the 

apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments�察�

or renewal of those offers�察�which were last  night  so  disgusting  to 

you。   I   write   without   any   intention   of   paining   you�察  �or   humbling 

myself�察  �by   dwelling   on   wishes�察  �which�察  �for   the   happiness   of   both�察�

cannot be too soon forgotten�察�and the effort which the formation�察�

and   the   perusal   of   this   letter   must   occasion�察  �should   have   been 

spared�察�had not my character required   it  to  be   written and   read。 

You   must�察  �therefore�察  �pardon   the   freedom   with   which   I   demand 

your   attention�察  �your   feelings�察  �I   know�察  �will   bestow   it   unwillingly�察�

but I demand it of your justice。 

    `Two   offences   of   a   very   different   nature�察  �and   by   no   means   of 

equal     magnitude�察      �you   last   night   laid   to  my    charge。     The    first 

mentioned was�察�that�察�regardless of the sentiments of either�察�I had 

detached Mr。 Bingley from your sister�察�and the other�察�that I had�察�

in defiance of various claims�察�in defiance of honour and humanity�察�

ruined the immediate prosperity�察�and blasted the prospects of Mr。 

Wickham。!Wilfully             and     wantonly      to    have    thrown       off   the
