嗯
Mister collins received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure
Ure then proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview
With the result of which he trusted
He had every reason to be satisfied
Since the refusal which is cousin had steadvastly given him with naturally flow from her nashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character
This information however startled mrs bennet
She would have been glad to be equally satisfied
That her daughter had meant to encourage him by protesting against his proposals
But she dared not believe it
And could not help saying so
But depend upon it
Mister collins
She added that lizze shall be brought to reason
I will speak to her about it
Myself directly she is a very headstrong foolish girl
And does not know her own interest
But i will make her know it pardon me for interrupting you
Madam cried mister collls
If she
She really really had strong and foolish
I know not
Whether she would altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation
Who naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state
If therefore she actually persists in rejecting my suit perhaps
It were better not to force her into accepting me
Because if liable to such defects of temper
She could not contribute much to my folelity
Sir
You quite misunderstand me said mrs barnet alarmed lizzy is only headstrong in such matters as these in everything else
She is as good nature to girl has ever lived
I will go directly to mister barnet
And we shall very soon settle it with her
I am sure
She would not give him time to reply
But haring instantly to her husband called out as she entered the library
Oh
Mister barnet t you were wanted
Immediately we are all in an uppar
You must come and make lazy mary
Mister collins for she bowws
She will not have him
And if you do not make case
He will change his mind and not have her
Mister bennett raised his eyes from his book as she entered and fixed on her face ace the common concercerwhich was not in the least altered by her communication
I have not the pleasure of understanding you said he
When she had finished her speech of what are you talking of mister collins and lizzy
Lizy declares she will not have mister collins and mister collins begins to say that he will not have lizy and what am i ind to do on occcason on it seems a hopess business speak to lazy about it
Yourself tell her that you insist upon her marrying him let her be called down
She shall hear my opinion mrs bentt ring the bell and misseezabeth was summon to the library
Come here
Child cried her father
She appeared i have sent for you on an affair of importance
I understand that mister collins has made you an offer of marriage
Is it true
Elizabeth replied that it was very well
And this sofer of marriage you have refused i have sir very well we now come to the point
Your mother insists upon your accepting it is it not so mrs benet yes
Or i will never see her again
An unhappy alternative is before you elizabeth from this day
You must be a stranger to one of your parents
Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry mister collins
And i will never see you again if you do
Elizabeth could not put smile at such a conclusion of such a beginning
But mrs bennet t had persusuaded herself
That her husband regarded the affairs
She wished was excessively disappointed what do you mean mister bennet by talking in this way
You promised me to insist upon her marrying him
My dear replied her husband
I have two small favours to request
First that you will allow me the free use of my understanding on the present occasion and secondly of my room
I shall be glad to have the library to myself as soon as may be not yet
However in spite of her disappointment in her husband
Did mrs bennet give up the point
She talked to elizabeth again and again coaxed
Enthreatened her by turns she endeavred red secure jane in her interest
But jane with all possible milddness declined in her fearing and elizabeth sometimes with real earneesmitand somesometimes plaplaful guti replied to her attacks
Though her matter varied
However her determination never dead mister collins meanwhile was meditating in solitude on what had passed
He thought too well of himself to comprehend on what moof
His cousin could refuse him
And though his pride was heard
He suffered in no other way
His regard for her was quite imaginary and the possibility of her deserving her mother's approach prevented his feeling
Any regret while the family were in this confusion
Charlotte lucis came to spend the day with them
She was met in the best to build by lydia who flying to her cried in a half whisper
I am glad
You are come for there is such fun here
What do you think has happened this morning
Mister collins has made an offer to lizzy and she will not have him
Charlotte had hardly time to answer
Before they were joined by kitty who came to tell the same news and no sooner had they entered the breakfast room
Where mrs bennet was alone
Then she likewise began on the subject
Calling on miss lukas for her compassion and entreating her to persuade her friend lazy to comply with the wishes of her family pray due
My dearmiss lucis
She added in a melancholy tone for nobody is on my side
Nobody takes part with me
I am cruelly used nobody feels for my poor nerves
Charlotz reply was spared by the entrance of jane and elizabeth
I there she comes continued mrs bennet t looking as unconcerned as may be and caring no more for us
Than if we were at york provided she can have her own way
But i tell you what miss lizy
If you take it into your head to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way
You will never get a husband at all
And i am sure
I do not know who is to maintain you
When your father is dead
I shall not be able to keep you
And so i warn you
I have done with you from this spy day
I told you in the library
You know that i should never speak to you again
And you will find me as good as my word
I have no pleasure in talking to unbeautiful children
Not that i have much pleasure indeed in talking to anybody
People who suffer as i do from nervous complaints can have no great incination for talking
Nobody can tell what i suffer
But it is always so those who do not complain are never pitted her daughters listened in silence to this effusion sensible that any attempt to reason with her suither would only increase the irritation
She talked on therefore without interruption from any of them
Till they were joined by mister collins who entered with an air
More stately than usual and unperceiving whom she said to the girls now i do insist upon it that you all of you hold your tongues
And let mister
Collins and me have a little conversation together
Elizabeth passed quietly out of the room
Jane and kitde followed
But litiisted her ground determined to hear all she could and shaltte detained first by the civility of mister collins whose inquiries after herself and all her family were burary my nute and then by a little curiosity satisfied herself with walking to the window
And pretending not to hear in a dolful voice
Mrs bennet thus began a projected conversation
Oh
Mister collins
My dear madam replied he let us be forever silent on this point farby it for me
He presently continued in a voice that marked his dipleasure to resent the behaviour of your daughter resignation to inevitable evils is the duty of us
All the peculiar duty of a young man who has been so fortunate as i have been in early performance and i trust
I am resigned perhaps not the less so from feeling a doubt of my positive happiness had my fair cousin honoured me with her hand for i have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose summer of its value in our estimation
You will not
I hope consider me as showing any disrespect to your family
My dear madam by us withdrawing my pretentions to your daughter's favour without having page yourself and mister bennet
The compliment of requesting you to interpose your authority in my behalf
My conduct may i fear be objectionable
Hahaving cepted my dismission from your daughter's lips instead of your own
But we are all liable to error
I have certainly meet well through the whole affair
My object has been to secure amiable companion for myself with due consideration for the advantage of all your family
And if my matter has been it all repprehensible
I hear bingley to apologize
