Four
When jane and elizabeth were alone
The former who had been cautious in her praise of mister biley before expressed to her sister
How very much she admired him he's just what a young man ought to be
Said she sensible good humred lively
And i never saw such happy matters so much e's was such perfect good breeding
He is also handsome replied elizabeth
Which a young man ought likewise to be
If he possibly can his character is thereby complete i was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time
I did not expect such a compliment did not you
I did for you
But that is one great difference between us compliments always take you by surprise
And me never what could be more natural than is asking you again
He could not help seen that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman in the room
No thanks to his gallantary for that well he certainly is very agreeable
And i give you leave to like him
You have liked many a stupider person
Dear lizzy
Oh
You are a great deal too apt you know to like people in general
You never see a faulton anybody
All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes
I never heard you speak out of a human being in my life
I would wish not to be hasty in centering anyone
But i always speak what i think
I know
You do
And it is that which makes a wonder with your good sense
To be so honestly blind to the fallies and nonsense of others
Affectation of cander is common enough one meets with it everywhere
But to be candied without austen tation or design to take the good of everybody's character
And make it still better
And say nothing of the bad belongs to you alone
And so you like this mansisters too do you
Their matters are not equal to his certainly not at first
But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them miss billey is to live with her brother and keep his house
And i am much mistaken
If we shall not find a very charming neighbour in her elizabeth listened in silence
But was not convinced their behavior at the assembly had not been calculated to please in general
And with more quickness of observation and less plancy of temper than her sister
And with a judgment to unassailled by any attention to herself
She was very little disposed to approve them
They were in fact
Very fine ladies not deficient in good humor when they were pleased nor in the power of being agreeable where they chose it
But proud and conceded
They were rather handsome had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town
Had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds were in the habit of spending more than they odd and are associating with people of rank
And were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves and meinly of others
They were of a respectable family in the north of england
A circumstance more deeply impressed on their memories
Than that their brother's fortune and their own had been acquired by trade
Mister billian inherted property to the amount of nearly one hundred thousand pounds from his father
Who had intended to purchase in a state
But did not live to do it
Mister billey intended it likewise and sometimes made choice of his county
But as he was now provided with a good house and the liberty of a matter
It was doubtful to many of those who best knew the easineess of his tempwhether he
He might spspend the remainder of his day at ther field
And leaad the next generation to purchase his sisters were very anxious for his having in estate of his own
But though he was now established only as a tenant miss bingley was by no means unwilling to presiat his table
Nor was mrs harst who had married a man of more fashion than fortune
Less disposed to consider his house as her home
When it suited her mister bingley had not benagage two years
When he was tempted by an accidental recommendation to look at netherfield house
He did look at it and into it for a half an hour was pleased with the situation and the principal rooms
Satisfied with what the owner said in its praise and took it immediately between him in darcy
There was a very steady friendship in spite of a great opposition of character billey was endeared to darcy by the easeness openness and dectility of his temper
Though notice position could offer a greater contrast to his own
And though with his own he never appeared to satisfied on the strength of darseys regard billey had the fermost reliance and of his judgment
The highest opinion in understanding darsey was the superior
Billey was by no means deficient
But darsey was clever
He was at the same time
Hoddy reserved and festidious and his matters the well bread were not inviting in that respect
His friend had greatly the advantage billey was shsure being liked ked
Wherever he appeared
Darcy was continually giving offence the manner in which they spoke of american assembly was sufficiently characteristic
Binley had never met with pleasant people or pretty er girls in his life
Everybody had been most kind and attentive to him
There had been no formality
No stiffhe
He had soon ft t quainted with all the room and as to misspeneet
He could not conceive an angel more beautiful darcy on the contrary
Had seen a collection of people in whom
There was little beauty and no fashion for none of whom
He had felt the smallest interest and from none received either attention or pleasure misspennet he acknowledged to be pretty
But she smiled too much
Mrs hurn n her sister allowed it to be so
But still they admired her and liked her and pronounced her
Her to be a sweet girl and one whom
They should not object to know more of miss bnett was therefore established as a sweet girl and their brother felt authorized by such commendation to think of her
As he chose
