    The   Gardiners   staid   only   one   night   at   Longbourn�察  �and   set   off 

the    next    morning      with    Elizabeth      in  pursuit     of  novelty     and 

amusement。   One   enjoyment   was   certain!that   of   suitableness   as 

companions�察        �a  suitableness      which     comprehended          health    and 

temper   to   bear   inconveniences!cheerfulness                to  enhance      every 

pleasure!and   affection   and   intelligence�察  �which   might   supply   it 

among themselves if there were disappointments abroad。

wonders       of   the   country�察    �and    within    five   miles    of  Lambton�察�

Elizabeth   found   from   her   aunt�察  �that   Pemberley   was   situated。   It 

was not in their direct road�察�nor more than a mile or two out of it。

In   talking    over   their   route   the   evening    before�察   �Mrs。   Gardiner 

expressed      an   inclination    to  see   the   place   again。   Mr。   Gardiner 

declared      his  willingness�察   �and    Elizabeth    was    applied    to  for  her 

approbation。 

    `My love�察�should not you like to see a place of which you have 

heard so much�拭� said her aunt。 `A place too�察�with which so many of 

your   acquaintance   are   connected。   Wickham   passed   all   his   youth 

there�察�you know。¨ 

    Elizabeth  was   distressed。  She   felt  that  she   had   no   business   at 

Pemberley�察�and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing 

it。   She   must   own   that  she   was   tired   of   great   houses�察  �after   going 

over so many�察�she   really  had no  pleasure   in   fine   carpets   or satin 

curtains。 

    Mrs。   Gardiner   abused   her   stupidity。   `If   it   were   merely   a   fine 

house richly furnished�察� said she�察 �I should not care about it myself�察�

but the grounds are delightful。 They have some of the finest woods 

in the country。¨ 

    Elizabeth said no more!but her mind could not acquiesce。 The 

possibility of meeting Mr。 Darcy�察�while viewing the place�察�instantly 

occurred。 It would be dreadful� �She blushed at the very idea�察�and 

thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt�察�than to run 

such a risk。 But against this�察�there were objections�察�and she finally 

resolved that it could be the last resource�察�if her private enquiries 

as to the absence of the family�察�were unfavourably answered。 

    Accordingly�察      �when     she    retired    at   night�察   �she    asked     the 

chambermaid whether Pemberley were not a very fine place�察�what 

was the name of its proprietor�察�and with  no little   alarm�察  �whether 

the family were down for  the   summer。 A   most  welcome negative 

followed   the   last   question!and   her   alarms   being   now   removed�察�

she was at leisure to feel a great deal of curiosity to see the house 

herself�察�and when the subject was revived the next morning�察�and 

she was again applied to�察�could readily answer�察�and with a proper 

air   of  indifference�察   �that  she   had   not  really   any   dislike  to  the 

scheme。

           appearance of Pemberley Woods with some perturbation�察�

E 

           and when at length they turned in at the lodge�察�her spirits 

were in a high flutter。 

   The park was very large�察�and contained great variety of ground。 

They entered it in one of its lowest points�察�and drove for some time 

through a beautiful wood�察�stretching over a wide extent。 

   Elizabeth¨s mind was too full for conversation�察�but she saw and 

admired every remarkable spot and point of view。 They gradually 

ascended for half a mile�察�and then found themselves at the top of a 

considerable eminence�察�where the wood ceased�察  �and  the   eye   was 

instantly   caught   by   Pemberley   House�察  �situated   on   the     opposite 

side of a valley�察�into which the road with some abruptness wound。 

It was a large�察  �handsome�察�stone   building�察  �standing  well   on   rising 

ground�察�and backed by a ridge of high woody hills�察�and in front�察�a 

stream of some natural   importance   was   swelled   into  greater�察  �but 

without  any  artificial appearance。   Its banks   were   neither   formal�察�

nor falsely adorned。 Elizabeth was delighted。 She had never seen a 

place   for   which   nature   had   done   more�察  �or   where   natural   beauty 

had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste。 They were all 

of   them   warm   in   their   admiration�察  �and   at   that   moment   she   felt�察�

that to be mistress of Pemberley might be something� �

   They  descended   the   hill�察  �crossed   the   bridge�察  �and   drove   to   the

door�察�and�察�while examining the nearer aspect of the house�察�all her 

apprehensions   of   meeting   its   owner   returned。   She   dreaded   lest 

the    chambermaid         had   been    mistaken。      On   applying      to  see   the 

place�察  �they   were   admitted   into   the   hall�察  �and   Elizabeth�察  �as   they 

waited   for   the   housekeeper�察  �had   leisure   to   wonder   at   her   being 

where she was。 

    The   housekeeper  came�此  �a  respectable´looking�察  �elderly   woman�察�

much less fine�察�and more civil�察�than she had any notion of finding 

her。 They followed her into the dining´parlour。 It was a large�察�well´ 

proportioned room�察�handsomely fitted up。 Elizabeth�察�after slightly 

surveying   it�察    �went   to   a  window   to   enjoy   its    prospect。    The    hill�察�

crowned   with   wood�察  �from   which   they   had   descended�察  �receiving 

increased   abruptness   from   the   distance�察  �was   a   beautiful   object。 

Every disposition of the ground was good�察�and she looked on the 

whole   scene�察  �the   river�察  �the   trees   scattered   on   its   banks�察  �and   the 

winding of the valley�察�as far as she could trace it�察�with delight。 As 

they passed into other rooms�察�these objects were   taking  different 

positions�察�but from every window there were beauties to be seen。 

The rooms were lofty and handsome�察�and their furniture suitable 

to    the   fortune     of   their   proprietor�察     �but    Elizabeth      saw    with 

admiration   of   his   taste�察  �that   it   was   neither   gaudy   nor   uselessly 

fine�察  �with   less   of  splendour�察     �and   more     real  elegance�察    �than    the
