renewing   those       attentions    which   had     marked     the   early   part   of 

their acquaintance�察�could only serve�察�after what had since passed�察�

to provoke her。 She lost all concern for him in finding herself thus 

selected as the object of such idle and frivolous gallantry and while 

she steadily repressed it�察�could not but feel the reproof contained 

in   his   believing�察  �that   however   long�察  �and   for   whatever   cause�察  �his 

attentions had been withdrawn�察�her vanity would be gratified and 

her preference secured at any time by their renewal。 

    On the very last day of the regiment¨s remaining in Meryton�察�he 

dined   with  others   of   the   officers   at   Longbourn�察  �and   so  little   was 

Elizabeth disposed to part from him in good humour�察�that on his 

making   some   enquiry   as   to   the   manner   in   which   her   time   had 

passed at Hunsford�察�she mentioned Colonel Fitzwilliam¨s and Mr。 

Darcy¨s having both spent three weeks at Rosings�察�and asked him 

if he were acquainted with the former。 

    He looked surprised�察�displeased�察�alarmed�察�but with a moment¨s 

recollection   and   a   returning   smile�察  �replied�察  �that   he   had   formerly 

seen     him     often�察  �and     after   observing      that    he   was     a  very 

gentlemanlike man�察�asked her how she had liked him。 Her answer 

was   warmly   in      his  favour。   With   an   air   of  indifference   he   soon 

afterwards added�察 �How long did you say that he was at Rosings�拭� 

    `Nearly three weeks。¨ 

    `And you saw him frequently�拭� 

    `Yes�察�almost every day。¨ 

    `His manners are very different from his cousin¨s。¨

    `Yes�察   �very    different。   But    I  think    Mr。    Darcy     improves      on 

acquaintance。¨ 

    `Indeed� � cried Wickham with a look which did not escape her。 

`And pray may I ask�拭� but checking himself�察�he added in   a  gayer 

tone�察   �Is   it   in   address   that   he   improves�拭  �Has   he   deigned   to   add 

ought   of   civility   to   his   ordinary   style�拭  �for   I   dare   not   hope�察�  he 

continued in a lower and more serious tone�察 �that he is improved 

in essentials。¨ 

    `Oh�察�no� � said Elizabeth。 `In essentials�察�I believe�察�he is very much 

what he ever was。¨ 

    While     she   spoke�察   �Wickham        looked    as   if  scarcely    knowing 

whether   to   rejoice   over   her   words�察  �or   to   distrust   their   meaning。 

There was a something in her countenance which made him listen 

with an apprehensive and anxious attention�察�while she added�察�

    `When I said that he improved on acquaintance�察�I did not mean 

that either his mind or manners were in a state  of  improvement�察�

but    that   from    knowing     him    better�察  �his   disposition     was   better 

understood。¨ 

    Wickham¨s   alarm   now   appeared   in   a   heightened   complexion 

and agitated look�察�for a few minutes he was silent�察�till�察�shaking off 

his    embarrassment�察       �he   turned     to  her   again�察   �and   said   in   the 

gentlest of accents�察�

    `You�察  �who   so   well   know   my   feelings   towards   Mr。   Darcy�察  �will 

readily  comprehend   how   sincerely   I   must   rejoice   that   he   is   wise 

enough to assume even the appearance of what is right。 His pride�察�

in   that   direction�察  �may   be   of   service�察  �if   not   to   himself�察  �to   many 

others�察�for it must deter him from such foul misconduct as I have 

suffered by。 I only fear that the sort of cautiousness�察�to which you�察�

I imagine�察�have been alluding�察�is merely adopted on his visits to his

aunt�察�of whose good opinion and judgment he stands much in awe。 

His   fear   of   her�察 �has   always    operated�察   �I  know�察   �when     they   were 

together�察    �and    a   good    deal   is  to   be   imputed      to  his   wish    of 

forwarding the match with Miss De Bourgh�察�which I am certain he 

has very much at heart。¨ 

    Elizabeth   could   not   repress   a   smile   at   this�察  �but   she   answered 

only by a slight inclination of the head。 She saw that he wanted to 

engage her on the old subject of his grievances�察�and she was in no 

humour  to  indulge  him。   The  rest  of  the   evening   passed   with   the 

appearance�察�on his side�察�of usual cheerfulness�察�but with no farther 

attempt      to  distinguish     Elizabeth�察   �and    they   parted    at  last  with 

mutual      civility�察  �and  possibly   a   mutual    desire    of  never   meeting 

again。 

    When the party broke up�察�Lydia returned with Mrs。 Forster to 

Meryton�察      �from    whence      they   were    to   set   out   early   the   next 

morning。   The   separation between   her  and   her  family  was   rather 

noisy than pathetic。 Kitty was the only one who shed tears�察�but she 

did weep from vexation and envy。 Mrs。 Bennet was diffuse in her 

good wishes for the felicity of her daughter�察�and impressive in her 

injunctions   that   she   would   not   miss   the   opportunity   of   enjoying 

herself as much as possible�察�advice�察�which there was every reason 

to believe would be attended to�察�and in the clamorous happiness of 

Lydia   herself   in   bidding   farewell�察  �the   more   gentle   adieus   of   her 

sisters were uttered without being heard。

                            CHAPTER XIX 



             ad  Elizabeth¨s     opinion   been    all  drawn    from   her   own 

             family�察   �she   could   not   have    formed    a  very    pleasing 

H 

             picture    of  conjugal    felicity  or  domestic    comfort。    Her 

father   captivated   by   youth   and   beauty�察  �and   that   appearance   of 

good humour�察�which youth and beauty generally give�察�had married 

a woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind�察�had very 

early   in   their   marriage   put   an   end   to   all   real   affection   for   her。 

Respect�察�esteem�察�and confidence�察�had vanished for ever�察�and all his 

views   of   domestic   happiness   were   overthrown。   But   Mr。   Bennet 

was   not   of   a   disposition   to   seek   comfort   for   the   disappointment 

which     his  own    imprudence       had   brought     on�察 �in  any   of  those 

pleasures which too often console the unfortunate for their folly or 

their   vice。   He   was   fond   of   the   country   and   of   books�察  �and   from 

these   tastes   had   arisen   his   principal   enjoyments。   To   his   wife   he 

was very little otherwise indebted�察�than as her ignorance and folly 

had     contributed     to  his   amusement。       This   is  not   the   sort   of 

happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his wife�察�

but   where   other   powers   of   entertainment   are   wanting�察  �the   true 

philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given。 

   Elizabeth�察�however�察�had never been blind to the impropriety of 

her father¨s behaviour as a husband。 She had always seen it with 

pain�察�but respecting his abilities�察�and grateful   for  his   affectionate 

treatment of herself�察�she endeavoured to forget what she could not 

overlook�察�and to banish from her thoughts that continual breach of 

conjugal obligation and decorum which�察�in exposing his wife to the
