stating it to be such as might be relied on。 

    Mrs。 Gardiner was surprised and concerned�察 �but  as   they  were 

now   approaching   the   scene   of   her   former   pleasures�察  �every   idea 

gave     way   to   the  charm     of  recollection�察  �and     she  was    too  much 

engaged in pointing out to her husband all the interesting spots in 

its environs�察�to think of any thing else。 Fatigued as she had been 

by the morning¨s walk�察�they had no sooner dined than she set off 

again   in   quest   of   her   former   acquaintance�察  �and   the   evening   was 

spent   in   the   satisfactions   of   an   intercourse   renewed   after   many

years discontinuance。 

    The   occurrences   of   the   day   were   too   full   of   interest   to   leave 

Elizabeth   much   attention   for   any   of   these   new   friends�察  �and   she 

could do nothing but think�察�and think with wonder�察�of Mr。 Darcy¨s 

civility�察�and above all�察�of his wishing her to be acquainted with his 

sister。

                              CHAPTER II 



           lizabeth  had   settled   it   that   Mr。  Darcy   would   bring   his 

           sister    to  visit  her�察  �the   very   day   after   her   reaching 

E 

           Pemberley�察�and was consequently resolved not to be out 

of sight of the inn the whole of that morning。 But her conclusion 

was    false�察 �for  on   the  very   morning     after   their  own    arrival   at 

Lambton�察 �these   visitors   came。   They   had   been   walking  about   the 

place with some of their new friends�察�and were just returned to the 

inn to dress themselves for dining with the same family�察�when the 

sound     of  a  carriage   drew    them    to  a  window�察   �and    they  saw    a 

gentleman and lady in a curricle�察�driving up the   street。   Elizabeth 

immediately   recognising   the   livery�察  �guessed   what   it   meant�察  �and 

imparted      no    small   degree     of  surprise     to  her   relations�察   �by 

acquainting them with the honour which she expected。 Her uncle 

and    aunt   were    all  amazement�察     �and   the  embarrassment        of  her 

manner as she spoke�察�joined to the circumstance itself�察�and many 

of the circumstances of the preceding day�察�opened to them a new 

idea   on   the   business。   Nothing   had   ever   suggested   it   before�察  �but 

they now felt that there was no other way of accounting for such 

attentions from such a quarter�察�than by supposing a partiality for 

their niece。 While these newly´born notions were passing in their 

heads�察�the perturbation of Elizabeth¨s feelings was every moment 

increasing。   She   was   quite   amazed   at  her  own   discomposure�察  �but 

amongst other causes of disquiet�察�she dreaded lest the partiality of 

the   brother   should   have   said   too   much   in   her   favour�察  �and   more 

than   commonly   anxious   to   please�察  �she   naturally   suspected   that

every power of pleasing would fail her。 

    She retreated from the window�察�fearful of being seen and as she 

walked up and down the room�察�endeavouring to compose herself�察�

saw   such   looks   of   enquiring   surprise   in   her   uncle   and   aunt�察  �as 

made every thing worse。 

    Miss    Darcy     and   her   brother    appeared�察     �and   this   formidable 

introduction took place。 With astonishment did Elizabeth see�察�that 

her    new    acquaintance       was    at  least   as   much     embarrassed       as 

herself。    Since   her   being   at   Lambton�察  �she   had      heard    that   Miss 

Darcy   was   exceedingly   proud�察  �but   the   observation   of   a   very   few 

minutes   convinced   her�察  �that   she   was   only   exceedingly   shy。   She 

found     it  difficult   to  obtain    even    a  word     from    her   beyond     a 

monosyllable。 

    Miss Darcy was tall�察�and on a larger scale than Elizabeth�察�and�察�

though   little   more   than   sixteen�察  �her   figure   was   formed�察  �and   her 

appearance   womanly   and   graceful。   She   was   less   handsome   than 

her   brother�察  �but   there   was   sense   and   good   humour   in   her   face�察�

and      her    manners      were     perfectly     unassuming         and    gentle。 

Elizabeth�察     �who     had    expected      to  find    in  her    as   acute    and 

unembarrassed          an  observer     as  ever   Mr。    Darcy    had   been�察   �was 

much relieved by discerning such different feelings。 

    They   had   not   been   long   together�察  �before   Darcy   told   her   that 

Bingley was also coming to wait on her�察�and she had barely time to 

express     her   satisfaction�察   �and    prepare    for   such   a  visitor�察  �when 

Bingley¨s quick step was heard on the stairs�察�and in a moment he 

entered the room。 All Elizabeth¨s anger against him had been long 

done away�察�but�察�had she still felt any�察�it could hardly have stood its 

ground against the unaffected cordiality with which he expressed 

himself�察  �on   seeing   her   again。   He   enquired   in   a   friendly�察  �though

general way�察�after her family�察�and looked and spoke with the same 

good´humoured ease that he had ever done。 

    To   Mr。   and   Mrs。   Gardiner   he   was   scarcely   a   less   interesting 

personage than to herself。 They had long wished to see him。 The 

whole   party   before   them�察  �indeed�察  �excited   a   lively   attention。   The 

suspicions   which   had   just   arisen   of   Mr。   Darcy   and   their   niece�察�

directed   their   observation   towards   each   with   an   earnest�察  �though 

guarded�察  �enquiry�察  �and   they   soon   drew   from   those   enquiries   the 

full conviction that one of them at least knew what it was to love。 

Of  the   lady¨s   sensations  they  remained a   little   in   doubt�察  �but   that 

the    gentleman       was    overflowing       with   admiration       was    evident 

enough。 

    Elizabeth�察�on her side�察�had much to do。 She wanted to ascertain 

the   feelings   of   each   of   her   visitors�察  �she   wanted   to   compose   her 

own�察�and to make herself agreeable to all�察�and in the latter object�察�

where   she   feared   most   to   fail�察  �she   was   most   sure   of   success�察  �for 

those      to   whom       she     endeavoured         to   give    pleasure      were 

prepossessed   in       her   favour。    Bingley   was     ready�察   �Georgiana   was 

eager�察�and Darcy determined�察�to be pleased。 

    In seeing Bingley�察�her thoughts naturally flew to her sister�察�and 

oh�  �how  ardently  did  she  long  to  know�察  �whether  any   of   his   were 

directed   in   a   like   manner。   Sometimes   she   could   fancy�察  �that   he 

talked   less   than   on   former   occasions�察  �and   once   or   twice   pleased 

herself with the notion that as he looked at her�察�he was  trying  to 

trace   a   resemblance。   But�察  �though   this   might   be   imaginary�察  �she 

could not be deceived as to his behaviour to Miss Darcy�察�who had 

been set up as a rival of Jane。 No look appeared on either side that 

spoke     particular     regard。    Nothing      occurred     between      them     that 

could   justify   the   hopes   of   his   sister。   On   this   point   sh
