satisfied�此�and  two  or  three  little  circumstances   occurred   ere  they 

parted�察     �which�察     �in   her     anxious      interpretation�察      �denoted      a 

recollection of Jane�察�not untinctured by tenderness�察�and a wish of 

saying more that might lead to the mention of her�察�had he dared。 

He   observed   to   her�察  �at   a   moment   when   the   others   were   talking 

together�察�and in a tone which had something of real regret�察�that it 

`was a very long time since he had had the pleasure of seeing her�察� 

and�察  �before   she could  reply�察  �he   added�察   �It  is   above   eight   months。 

We   have   not  met since   the   26th   of   November�察  �when   we   were   all 

dancing together at Netherfield。¨ 

    Elizabeth   was      pleased    to   find  his  memory       so  exact�察  �and    he 

afterwards took occasion to ask her�察�when unattended to by any of 

the rest�察�whether all her sisters were at Longbourn。 There was not 

much in the question�察�nor in the preceding remark�察�but there was 

a look and a manner which gave them meaning。 

    It   was   not   often   that   she   could   turn   her   eyes   on   Mr。  Darcy 

himself�察    �but�察  �whenever       she   did   catch    a  glimpse�察    �she   saw    an 

expression   of   general   complaisance�察  �and   in   all   that   he   said�察  �she 

heard   an   accent   so   far   removed   from   hauteur   or   disdain   of   his 

companions�察�as convinced   her  that  the   improvement   of   manners 

which      she    had    yesterday      witnessed�察     �however      temporary       its 

existence   might   prove�察  �had   at   least   outlived   one   day。   When   she 

saw   him   thus   seeking   the   acquaintance�察  �and   courting   the   good 

opinion   of   people   with   whom   any   intercourse   a   few   months   ago 

would have been a disgrace�察�when she saw him thus civil�察�not only 

to herself�察�but to the very relations whom he had openly disdained�察�

and recollected their last lively scene in Hunsford Parsonage�察�the 

difference�察�the change was so great�察�and struck so forcibly on her 

mind�察�that she could hardly restrain her astonishment from being

visible。    Never�察    �even    in   the   company       of   his   dear    friends    at 

Netherfield�察�or his dignified relations at Rosings�察�had she seen him 

so desirous to please�察�so free from self´consequence�察�or unbending 

reserve as now�察�when no importance could result from the success 

of   his   endeavours�察  �and   when   even   the   acquaintance   of   those   to 

whom       his   attentions     were    addressed�察      �would     draw    down      the 

ridicule and censure of the ladies both of Netherfield and Rosings。 

    Their   visitors   staid   with   them   above   half   an   hour�察  �and   when 

they arose to depart�察�Mr。 Darcy called on his sister to join him in 

expressing their wish of  seeing  Mr。   and   Mrs。 Gardiner�察�and   Miss 

Bennet�察�to dinner at Pemberley�察�before they left the country。 Miss 

Darcy�察  �though   with   a   diffidence   which   marked   her   little   in   the 

habit of giving invitations�察�readily obeyed。 Mrs。 Gardiner looked at 

her niece�察�desirous of knowing how she�察�whom the invitation most 

concerned�察  �felt   disposed   as   to   its   acceptance�察  �but   Elizabeth   had 

turned      away    her   head。    Presuming�察      �however�察    �that   this   studied 

avoidance   spoke   rather   a   momentary   embarrassment�察  �than   any 

dislike of the proposal�察�and seeing in her husband�察�who was fond 

of   society�察   �a  perfect    willingness      to  accept    it�察 �she   ventured     to 

engage for her attendance�察�and the day after the next was fixed on。 

    Bingley     expressed      great    pleasure     in  the   certainty    of  seeing 

Elizabeth again�察�having still a great deal to say to  her�察  �and many 

enquiries to make after all their Hertfordshire   friends。   Elizabeth�察�

construing all this   into  a   wish  of  hearing  her  speak   of  her  sister�察�

was   pleased�察  �and   on   this   account�察  �as   well   as   some   others�察  �found 

herself�察  �when   their   visitors   left   them�察  �capable   of   considering   the 

last half hour with some satisfaction�察�though while it was passing�察�

the enjoyment of it had been little。 Eager to be alone�察�and fearful of 

enquiries   or  hints   from   her   uncle   and   aunt�察  �she   staid   with   them

only long enough to hear their favourable opinion of Bingley�察�and 

then hurried away to dress。 

    But    she   had    no   reason     to  fear   Mr。    and    Mrs。   Gardiner¨s 

curiosity�察�it was not their wish to force her communication。 It was 

evident that she was much better acquainted with Mr。 Darcy than 

they had before any idea of�察�it was evident that he was very much 

in love with her。 They saw much to interest�察�but nothing to justify 

enquiry。 

    Of Mr。 Darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well�察�and�察�

as   far  as   their   acquaintance   reached�察  �there   was   no   fault   to   find。 

They     could    not  be   untouched      by  his   politeness�察   �and   had   they 

drawn   his   character   from       their   own   feelings�察  �and   his   servant¨s 

report�察  �without   any   reference   to   any   other   account�察  �the   circle   in 

Hertfordshire to which he was known�察�would not have recognised 

it for Mr。 Darcy。 There was now an interest�察�however�察�in believing 

the    housekeeper�察       �and   they    soon    became      sensible�察    �that   the 

authority of a servant who had known him since he was four years 

old�察�and whose own manners   indicated   respectability�察  �was   not  to 

be    hastily    rejected。    Neither    had    any    thing    occurred     in   the 

intelligence of their Lambton friends�察�that could materially lessen 

its weight。 They had nothing to accuse him of but pride�察�pride he 

probably   had�察  �and   if   not�察  �it   would   certainly   be   imputed   by   the 

inhabitants of a small market´town�察�where the family did not visit。 

It was acknowledged�察�however�察�that he was a liberal man�察�and did 

much good among the poor。 

    With respect to Wickham�察�the travellers soon found that he was 

not   held   there   in   much   estimation�察     �for   though   the   chief   of   his 

concerns�察�with the son of his patron�察�were imperfectly understood�察�

it  was   yet  a   well   known   fact   that�察  �on   his   quitting   Derbyshire�察  �he

had    left   many    debts   behind    him�察   �which    Mr。   Darcy    afterwards 

discharged。 

   As for Elizabeth�察�her thoughts were at Pemberley this evening 

more than the last�察�and the evening�察�though as it passed it seemed 

long�察�was not long enough to determine her  feelings   towards one 

in    that    mansion�察     �and     she    lay   awake      two     whole     hours�察�

endeavouring  to  make   them   out。   She   certainly  did   not  hate   him。 

No�察  �hatred   had   vanished   long   ago�察  �and   she   had   almost   as   long 

been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him�察�that could be 

so   called。   The   respect   created   by   the
