heart。   She   studied   every   sentence�此  �and   her   feelings   towards   its 

writer were at times widely different。 When she remembered the

style of his address�察�she was still full of indignation�察�but when she 

considered how unjustly she had condemned and upbraided him�察�

her     anger    was    turned     against     herself�察   �and    his   disappointed 

feelings became the object of compassion。 His attachment excited 

gratitude�察�his general character respect�察�but she could not approve 

him�察  �nor   could   she   for   a   moment   repent   her   refusal�察  �or   feel   the 

slightest     inclination     ever    to  see   him    again。    In   her   own    past 

behaviour�察�there was a constant source of vexation and regret�察�and 

in   the   unhappy      defects    of  her   family    a  subject    of  yet   heavier 

chagrin。     They     were    hopeless     of  remedy。     Her    father�察  �contented 

with  laughing  at  them�察  �would never  exert  himself  to  restrain   the 

wild   giddiness   of   his   youngest   daughters�察  �and   her   mother�察  �with 

manners   so   far   from   right   herself�察  �was   entirely   insensible   of   the 

evil。 Elizabeth had frequently united with Jane in an endeavour to 

check     the   imprudence       of  Catherine      and    Lydia�察   �but  while    they 

were supported by their mother¨s indulgence�察�what chance could 

there be of improvement�拭�Catherine�察�weak´spirited�察�irritable�察�and 

completely under Lydia¨s guidance�察�had been always affronted by 

their   advice�察  �and   Lydia�察  �self´willed   and   careless�察  �would   scarcely 

give   them   a   hearing。   They   were   ignorant�察  �idle�察  �and   vain。   While 

there   was   an   officer   in   Meryton�察  �they   would   flirt   with   him�察  �and 

while   Meryton   was   within   a   walk   of   Longbourn�察  �they   would   be 

going there for ever。 

    Anxiety on Jane¨s behalf�察�was another prevailing concern�察  �and 

Mr。   Darcy¨s   explanation�察  �by   restoring   Bingley   to   all   her   former 

good   opinion�察  �heightened   the   sense   of   what   Jane   had   lost。         His 

affection was proved to have been sincere�察�and his conduct cleared 

of   all   blame�察  �unless   any   could   attach   to   the   implicitness      of   his 

confidence in his friend。 How grievous then was the thought that�察�

of   a   situation    so   desirable     in  every    respect�察   �so   replete    with 

advantage�察  �so   promising   for   happiness�察  �Jane   had   been   deprived�察�

by the folly and indecorum of her own family� �

    When   to   these     recollections     was   added     the   developement   of 

Wickham¨s   character�察  �it   may   be        easily   believed   that   the    happy 

spirits    which   had    seldom     been   depressed   before�察      �were    now    so 

much  affected  as  to  make   it   almost   impossible   for   her   to   appear 

tolerably cheerful。 

    Their engagements at Rosings were as frequent during the last 

week of her stay�察�as they had been at first。 The very last evening 

was spent  there�察  �and   her  Ladyship   again   enquired minutely  into 

the particulars of their journey�察�gave them directions as to the best 

method of packing�察�and was so urgent on the necessity of placing 

gowns in the only right way�察�that Maria thought herself obliged�察�on 

her   return�察  �to   undo   all   the   work   of   the   morning�察  �and   pack   her 

trunk afresh。 

    When   they  parted�察  �Lady   Catherine�察  �with   great   condescension�察�

wished      them     a  good     journey�察   �and    invited    them     to  come     to 

Hunsford again next year�察�and Miss De Bourgh exerted herself so 

far as to curtsey and hold out her hand to both。

                             CHAPTER XV 



           n   Saturday   morning   Elizabeth   and   Mr。   Collins   met   for 

           breakfast a few minutes before the others appeared�察�and 

 O 

           he   took   the   opportunity   of   paying   the   parting   civilities 

which he deemed indispensably necessary。 

   `I know not�察�Miss Elizabeth�察� said he�察 �whether Mrs。 Collins has 

yet expressed her sense of your kindness in coming to us�察�but I am 

very   certain   you   will   not   leave   the   house   without   receiving   her 

thanks  for  it。   The   favour  of   your   company   has   been   much   felt�察  �I 

assure   you。   We know  how  little   there   is  to  tempt   any   one   to   our 

humble abode。 Our plain manner of  living�察  �our  small   rooms�察  �and 

few    domestics�察   �and   the  little  we  see  of  the   world�察  �must   make 

Hunsford extremely dull to a young lady like yourself�察�but I hope 

you   will   believe   us   grateful   for   the   condescension�察  �and   that   we 

have done every thing in our power to prevent your spending your 

time unpleasantly。¨ 

   Elizabeth      was    eager   with    her   thanks    and    assurances      of 

happiness。 She had spent six weeks with great enjoyment�察�and the 

pleasure of being with Charlotte�察�and the kind attentions she had 

received�察�must make her feel the obliged。 Mr Collins was gratified�察�

and with a more smiling solemnity replied�察�

   `It gives me the greatest pleasure to hear that you have passed 

your time not disagreeably。 We have certainly done our best�察�and 

most  fortunately  having it  in   our  power  to  introduce  you   to   very 

superior     society�察  �and   from    our   connection     with   Rosings�察   �the 

frequent means of varying the humble home scene�察�I think we may

flatter    ourselves      that   your    Hunsford       visit  cannot     have    been 

entirely   irksome。   Our   situation   with   regard   to   Lady   Catherine¨s 

family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage and blessing 

which few can boast。   You  see   on   what  a   footing  we   are。   You see 

how      continually       we    are    engaged      there。     In   truth     I  must 

acknowledge         that�察  �with    all  the   disadvantages        of  this   humble 

parsonage�察  �I   should   not   think   any   one   abiding   in   it   an   object   of 

compassion�察�while they are sharers of our intimacy at Rosings。 

    Words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings。 and he 

was obliged to walk about the room�察�while Elizabeth tried to unite 

civility and truth in a few short sentences。 

    `You   may�察    �in  fact�察 �carry   a   very   favourable   report   of     us   into 

Hertfordshire�察�my dear cousin。 I flatter myself at least that you will 

be able to do so。 Lady Catherine¨s great attentions to Mrs。 Collins 

you have been a daily witness of�察�and altogether I trust it does not 

appear   that   your   friend   has   drawn   an   unfortunate!but   on   this 

point it will be as well to be silent。 Only let me assure you�察�my dear 

Miss Elizabeth�察�that I can from my heart most cordially wish you 

equal   felicity  in   marriage。   My  dear  Charlotte   and  I   have   but  one 

mind   and   one   way   of   thinking。   There   is   in   every   thing
