considered that Jane¨s disappointment had in fact been the work 

of her nearest relations�察�and reflected how materially the credit of 

both     must    be   hurt    by   such    impropriety       of  conduct�察    �she    felt 

depressed beyond any thing she had ever known before。

every      variety    of   thought�察    �reconsidering        events�察    �determining 

probabilities�察  �and   reconciling   herself   as   well   as   she   could�察      �to   a 

change so sudden and so important�察�fatigue�察�and a recollection of 

her    long    absence�察    �made     her   at  length    return     home�察    �and   she 

entered   the   house   with   the   wish   of   appearing   cheerful   as   usual�察�

and the resolution of repressing such reflections as must make her 

unfit for conversation。 

    She was immediately told�察�that the two gentlemen from Rosings 

had   each   called   during   her   absence�察  �Mr。   Darcy�察  �only   for   a   few 

minutes      to   take   leave�察  �but   that   Colonel     Fitzwilliam      had    been 

sitting   with   them      at   least   an  hour�察 �hoping   for   her   return�察    �and 

almost      resolving    to   walk    after   her   till  she   could    be   found。! 

Elizabeth could but just affect concern in missing him�察�she really 

rejoiced   at   it。   Colonel   Fitzwilliam   was   no   longer   an   object。   She 

could think only of her letter。

           he two gentlemen left Rosings the next morning�察�and Mr。 

           Collins   having  been   in   waiting   near   the   lodges�察  �to   make 

 T 

           them   his   parting   obeisance�察  �was   able   to   bring   home   the 

pleasing intelligence�察�of  their appearing  in   very  good   health�察  �and 

in as   tolerable  spirits   as   could   be  expected�察  �after  the   melancholy 

scene     so  lately  gone    through    at  Rosings。    To   Rosings    he  then 

hastened to console Lady Catherine�察�and her daughter�察�and on his 

return�察�brought back�察�with great satisfaction�察�a message from her 

Ladyship�察  �importing   that   she   felt   herself   so   dull   as   to   make   her 

very desirous of having them all to dine with her。 

    Elizabeth   could   not   see   Lady   Catherine   without   recollecting�察�

that had she chosen it�察�she might by this time have been presented 

to her�察�as her future niece�察�nor could she think�察�without a smile�察�of 

what her ladyship¨s indignation would have been。 `What would she 

have  said�拭�how  would   she  have  behaved�拭�   were   questions   with 

which she amused herself。 

    Their first subject was the diminution of the Rosings party!`I 

assure   you�察  �I   feel   it   exceedingly�察�   said   Lady   Catherine�察   �I   believe 

nobody      feels  the   loss  of  friends   so  much     as  I  do。  But   I  am 

particularly attached to these young men�察�and know them to be so 

much attached to me� �They were excessively sorry to go� �But so 

they   always   are。   The   dear   colonel   rallied   his   spirits   tolerably   till 

just at last�察�but Darcy seemed to feel it most acutely�察�more I think 

than last year。 His attachment to Rosings�察�certainly increases。¨ 

    Mr。 Collins had a compliment�察�and an allusion to throw in here�察�

which were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter。 

    Lady     Catherine      observed�察     �after   dinner�察   �that   Miss    Bennet 

seemed out of spirits�察�and immediately accounting for it herself�察�by 

supposing   that   she   did   not   like   to   go   home   again   so   soon�察  �she 

added�察�

    `But  if  that  is   the   case�察  �you   must   write   to   your   mother   to   beg 

that you may stay a little longer。 Mrs。 Collins will be very glad of 

your company�察�I am sure。¨ 

    `I   am much  obliged   to   your   ladyship   for   your   kind   invitation�察� 

replied Elizabeth�察 �but it is not in my power to accept it。!I must 

be in town next Saturday。¨ 

    `Why�察  �at   that   rate�察  �you   will   have   been   here   only   six   weeks。   I 

expected you to stay two months。 I told Mrs。 Collins so before you 

came。     There    can   be   no   occasion    for   your   going    so  soon。   Mrs。 

Bennet could certainly spare you for another fortnight。¨ 

    `But    my    father   cannot。!He        wrote    last   week    to   hurry    my 

return。¨ 

    `Oh� �your father of course may spare you�察�if your mother can。! 

Daughters   are   never  of   so  much consequence   to  a   father。   And   if 

you   will   stay   another  month  complete�察  �it   will   be   in   my   power   to 

take   one   of   you   as   far   as   London�察  �for   I   am   going   there   early   in 

June�察�for a week�察�and as Dawson does not object to the Barouche 

box�察�there will be   very  good   room   for  one  of  you!and  indeed�察 �if 

the weather should happen to be cool�察�I should not object to taking 

you both�察�as you are neither of you large。¨ 

    `You are all kindness�察�Madam�察�but I believe   we   must  abide by 

our original plan。¨ 

    Lady Catherine seemed resigned。 

    `Mrs。 Collins�察�you must send a servant with them。 You  know  I

always speak my  mind�察�and   I cannot  bear  the   idea   of   two   young 

women   travelling  post   by   themselves。   It   is   highly   improper。   You 

must contrive to send somebody。 I have the greatest dislike in the 

world     to  that   sort   of  thing。!Young        women       should    always     be 

properly guarded and attended�察�according to their situation in life。 

When my niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer�察�I made 

a point of her having two men servants go with her。!Miss Darcy�察�

the   daughter  of   Mr。   Darcy�察  �of   Pemberley�察  �and   Lady  Anne�察  �could 

not   have   appeared   with   propriety   in   a   different   manner。!I   am 

excessively attentive to all those things。 You must send John with 

the   young   ladies�察    �Mrs。   Collins。   I  am   glad   it   occurred    to   me  to 

mention it�察�for it would really be discreditable to you to let them go 

alone。¨ 

    `My uncle is to send a servant for us。¨ 

    `Oh� �Your   uncle� �He   keeps   a   man´servant�察  �does   he�拭�I   am 

very glad   you  have  somebody  who  thinks   of  those  things。   Where 

shall    you    change      horses�拭�Oh�         �Bromley�察     �of   course。!If      you 

mention my name at the Bell�察�you will be attended to。¨ 

    Lady   Catherine   had   many   other   questions           to   ask   respecting 

their journey�察�and as she did not answer them all herself�察�attention 

was   necessary�察  �which   Elizabeth   believed   to   be   lucky   for   her�察  �or�察�

with a mind so occupied�察�she might have forgotten where she was。 

Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours�察�whenever she was 

alone�察�she gave way to it as the greatest relief�察�and not a day went 

by  without  a   solitary  walk�察  �in   which she   might  indulge in   all   the 

delight of unpleasant recollections。
