compassion   and   honour�察  �he   had   been   able   to   get   the      better   of 

himself。 She read over her aunt¨s commendation of him again and 

again。   It   was   hardly   enough�察  �but   it   pleased   her。   She   was   even 

sensible   of   some   pleasure�察  �though   mixed   with   regret�察  �on   finding 

how steadfastly both she and her uncle had been persuaded that 

affection and confidence subsisted between Mr。 Darcy and herself。 

    She   was   roused   from   her   seat�察  �and   her   reflections�察  �by   some 

one¨s approach�察�and before she could strike into another path�察�she 

was overtaken by Wickham。 

    I   am   afraid   I   interrupt   your   solitary   ramble�察  �my   dear   sister�拭� 

said he�察�as he joined her。 

    `You   certainly   do�察�   she   replied   with   a   smile�察   �but   it   does   not 

follow that the interruption must be unwelcome。¨ 

    `I  should    be   sorry   indeed�察   �if  it  were。 We   were     always    good 

friends�察�and now we are better。¨ 

    `True。 Are the others coming out�拭� 

    `I do not know。 Mrs。 Bennet and Lydia are going in the carriage 

to Meryton。 And so�察�my dear sister�察�I find from our uncle and aunt�察�

that you have actually seen Pemberley。¨ 

    She replied in the affirmative。 

    `I almost envy you the pleasure�察�and yet I believe it would be too 

much for me�察�or else I could take it in my way to Newcastle。 And 

you saw the old housekeeper�察�I suppose�拭�Poor Reynolds�察�she was 

always   very   fond   of   me。   But   of   course   she   did   not   mention   my 

name to you。 

    `Yes�察�she did。¨ 

    `And what did she say�拭� 

    `That you were gone into the army�察�and she was afraid had not 

turned out well。 At such a   distance   as that�察 �you  know�察  �things are

strangely misrepresented。¨ 

    `Certainly�察� he replied�察�biting his lips。 Elizabeth hoped she had 

silenced him�察�but he soon afterwards said�察�

    `I   was   surprised   to   see   Darcy   in   town   last   month。   We   passed 

each other several times。 I wonder what he can be doing there。¨ 

    `Perhaps preparing for his marriage with Miss de Bourgh�察� said 

Elizabeth。   `It must  be  something  particular�察  �to   take   him   there   at 

this time of year。¨ 

    `Undoubtedly。 Did you see him while you   were   at  Lambton�拭 �I 

thought I understood from the Gardiners that you had。¨ 

    `Yes�察�he introduced us to his sister。¨ 

    `And do you like her�拭� 

    `Very much。¨ 

    `I have heard�察�indeed�察�that she is uncommonly improved within 

this year or two。 When I last saw her�察�she was not very promising。 

I am very glad you liked her。 I hope she will turn out well。¨ 

    `I dare say she will�察�she has got over the most trying age。¨ 

    `Did you go by the village of Kympton�拭� 

    `I do not recollect that we did。¨ 

    `I mention it�察�because it is the living which I ought to have had。 

A   most   delightful   place� �Excellent   Parsonage          House�   �It   would 

have suited me in every respect。¨ 

    `How should you have liked making sermons�拭� 

    `Exceedingly   well。   I   should   have   considered   it   as   part   of   my 

duty�察�and the exertion would soon have been nothing。 One ought 

not to repine�察�but�察�to be sure�察�it would have been such a thing for 

me� �The quiet�察�the retirement of such a life�察�would have answered 

all my ideas of happiness� �But it was not to be。 Did you ever hear 

Darcy mention the circumstance�察�when you were in Kent�拭�

    `I have  heard   from   authority�察  �which   I   thought  as   good�察 �that   it 

was    left  you   conditionally      only�察 �and    at  the  will  of  the   present 

patron。¨ 

    `You have。 Yes�察�there was something in that�察�I told you so from 

the first�察�you may remember。¨ 

    `I did hear�察�too�察�that there was a time�察�when sermon´making was 

not   so   palatable    to   you   as  it   seems  to   be  at   present�察  �that  you 

actually declared your resolution of never taking orders�察�and that 

the business had been compromised accordingly。¨ 

    `You   did�  �and   it   was   not   wholly   without   foundation。   You   may 

remember what I told you on that point�察�when first we talked of it。¨ 

    They   were   now   almost   at   the   door   of   the   house�察  �for   she   had 

walked fast to get rid of him�察�and unwilling for her sister¨s sake�察�to 

provoke him�察�she only said in reply�察�with a good´humoured smile�察�

    `Come�察�Mr。 Wickham�察�we are brother and sister�察�you know。 Do 

not   let   us   quarrel   about   the   past。   In   future�察  �I   hope   we   shall   be 

always of one mind。¨ 

    She held out her hand�察�he kissed it with affectionate gallantry�察�

though he hardly knew how to look�察�and they entered the house。

                             CHAPTER XI 



              r。   Wickham       was    so   perfectly    satisfied    with   this 

              conversation�察  �that   he   never   again   distressed   himself�察�

M 

              or   provoked   his   dear   sister   Elizabeth�察  �by   introducing 

the   subject   of   it�察  �and   she   was   pleased   to   find   that   she   had   said 

enough to keep him quiet。 

   The     day   of  his  and  Lydia¨s    departure    soon    came�察  �and   Mrs。 

Bennet      was   forced    to  submit    to  a  separation�察   �which�察   �as   her 

husband by no means entered into her scheme of their all going to 

Newcastle�察�was likely to continue at least a twelvemonth。 

    `Oh� �my dear Lydia�察� she cried�察 �when shall we meet again�拭� 

    `Oh�察�lord� �I don¨t know。 Not these two or three years perhaps。¨ 

    `Write to me very often�察�my dear。¨ 

    `As   often   as   I   can。   But   you   know   married   women   have   never 

much time for writing。 My sisters may write to me。 They will have 

nothing else to do。¨ 

   Mr。   Wickham¨s   adieus   were   much   more   affectionate   than   his 

wife¨s。 He smiled�察�looked handsome�察�and said many pretty things。 

    `He   is as   fine   a  fellow�察�   said   Mr。   Bennet�察�as   soon   as   they   were 

out   of   the   house�察  �as  ever   I  saw。  He   simpers�察  �and   smirks�察  �and 

makes love to us all。 I am prodigiously proud of him。 I defy even 

Sir William Lucas himself�察�to produce a more valuable son´in´law。¨ 

   The loss of her daughter made Mrs。 Bennet very dull for several 

days。 

    `I often think�察� said she�察 �that there is nothing so bad as parting 

with one¨s friends。 One seems so forlorn without them。¨

    `This     is  the   consequence        you    see�察  �Madam�察      �of   marrying      a 

daughter�察�   said   Elizabeth。   `It must  make  you   better   satisfied   that 

your other four are single。¨ 

    `It   is   no   such   thing。   Lydia   does   not   leave   me   because   she   is 

married�察�but only because her husband¨s regiment happens to be 

so   far   off。   If   that   had   been   nearer�察  �she   would   not   have   gone   so 

soon。¨ 

    But the spiritless condition which this event threw her into�察�was 

shortly   relieved�察 �
