Chapter
Nine
Elizabeth passed the chief of the night in her sister's room
And in the morning
Had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the inquiries
Which she very rely received from mister beley by a housemade
And some time afterwards from the two eleelegate ladies who iited on his sisters in spite of this amendment
However she requested to have a note sent a long born desiing her mother to visit jane and form her own judgment of her situation
The note was immediately dispatched
And its contents as quickly complied with mrs bennet accompanied by her two youngest girls reached netherfield
Soon after the family breakfast had she found jane in any apparent danger
Mrs bennett would had been very miserable
But being satisfied on seeing her
That her illness was not alarming
She had no wish of her recovering imdidiaas her restoration to health would probably remove her from nether field
She would not listen therefore to her daughters proposal of being carried home neither did be apothethecarry who arrived about the same time
Think it at all advisable after sitting a little while with jane on miss bingley's appearance and inditation
The mother and three daughters all attended her into the breakfast
Parler binlely met them with hopes that mrs bennet had not found misbennet worse than she expected indeed i have sir was her answer
She is a great deal tool to be moved
Mister jane says
We must not think of moving her
We must trust pass a little longer on your kindness removed cried bingly
It must not be thought of my sister
I am sure will not here of her removal
You may depend upon it
Madam said
Miss binglee with culd ciability that misbennett shall receive every possible attention
While she remains with us
Mrs bennetwas perfused in her acknowledgements
I am sure
She added if it was not for such good friends
I do not know what would become of her
For she is very al indeed and suffers a vast deal that with the greatest patients in the world
Which is always the way with her
For she has without exception the swetest temporary
I ever met with i often tell my other girls they are nothing to her
You have a sweet room here
Mister binley and a charming prospect over that gravel walk
I do not know a place in the country
That is equal to never field
You will not think of quitting it in a hurry
I hope though you have but a short lease whatever i do is done in a hurry replied he and therefore if i should resolve to quit never field
I should probably be off in five minutes at present
However i consider myself as quite fixed here
That is exactly what i should have supposed of you said a lizabeth
You begin to comprehend me do you ced he turning towards her
Oh Yes
I understand you perfectly
I wish i might take this for a compliment
But to be so easily seen through i am afraid is petiful
That is as it happens
It does not necessarily follow that a deep intericate character is more or less estimaable than such a one as yours
Lizzy cried her mother remember where you and do not run on in the wild matter
That you were suffered to do at home
I did not know before continued bingly immediately that you were a studier of character
It must be an amusing study
Yes
But interkate characters are the most amusing
They have at least that advantage the country said darcy can in general supply
But few subjects for such a study in a country neighbourhood
You move in a very confined and unbearing society
But people themselves alter so much
That there is something new to be observed in them forever
Yes
Indeed crde mrs bennet offended by his matter of mentionining a country neighbourhood
I assure you there is quite as much of that going on in the country as in town
Everybody was surprised
And darsey after looking at her for a moment
Turned silently away
Mrs bennett who fancy
She had gained a complete victory over him
Continued her triumph
I cannot see that london has any great advantage over the country for my part except the shops and public places
The country is a vast deal pleasant is not at mter binley
When i am in the country
He replied i never wish to leave it
And when i am in town
It is pretty much the same they have each their advantages
And i can be equally happy in either i
That is because you have the right disposition
But that gentleman looking at darsey seem to think the country was nothing at all
Indeed mama you are mistaken said elizabeth blushshing for her mother you quite misstock mister darcy
He only meant that there was not such a variety of people to be met within the country as in town
Which you must acknowledge to be true certainly my dear nobody said there were but as to not meeting with many people in this neighbourhood
I believe there are a few neighbourhoods larger
I know we diying with foreigtwenty families
Ies
But concerned for a lizabeth could enable beblely to keep his cabints
His sister was less delicate and directed her
I towards mister darsey with a very expressive smile elizabeth for the sake of saying something that might turn her mother's thoughts now asked her
If charlotte lukas had been at long born
Since her coming away
Yes she called yesterday with her father what an agreeable mansor williams is mister billey is not he so much
The man of fashion so gentiel and so easy
He is always something to say to everybody
That is my idea of good breeding and those persons who fancy themselves very important and never open their mouse quite mistake the matter did shall it dine with you
No
She would go home
I fancy she was wanted about immense biies for my part mister binley
I always keep servants that can do their own work
My daughters are brought up differently
But everybody is to judge for themselves
And the lucasses are very good sort of girls
I assure you
It is a pity
They are not handsome
Not that i think charlotte so very plain
But then she is our particular friend
She sings a very pleasant young woman said binley
Oh Dear Yes
But you must own she is very plain lady lukis as herself has often so and ended me jane's beauty
I do not like to booost of my own child
But to be sure
Jane one does not often see anybody better looking it is what everybody says i did not trust my own persality
When she was only fifteen
There was a gentleman at my brother gardeners and town
So much in love with her
That my sister in law was sure
He would make her an offer before we came away
But however he did not perhaps
He thought her too young
However he wrote some versus on her and very pretty
They were and so ended his affection said
Elizaabeth impatiently there has been many of one i fanty overcome in the same way
I wonder who first discovered the efficcacy of poetry and driving away love
I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love said darcy of a fine stout healthy love
It may everything nourishes what is strong already
But if it be only as fight then sort of inclination
I am convinced that one good onet will start it entirely away
Darcy only smiled
And the general pause which ensued made elizabeth tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again she longed to speak
But could think of nothing to say
And after a short silence
Mrs bennetbegan repeating her thinks to mister bingly for his kindness to jane with an apology for troubling him also with lizzy mister bingley was uneffectively civil in his answer
And forced his younger sister to be civil also and say what the occasion required she performed her part indeed without much graciousness
But mrs bennett satisfied and soon afterwards ordered her carriage upon this signal the youngest of her daughters put herself forward
The two girls had been whispering to each other during the whole visit
And the result of it was that the youngest should tax mister billy with having promised on its first coming into the country to give a ball at never field
Lidya was a stought well grown girl of fifteen with a fine completion and good humred cabints a favourite with her mother
Whose affection had brought her into public at an early age
She had high animal spirits and a sort of natural self consequence
Which the attentions of the officers to whom her uncles 's dindiners and her own easy matters recommended her had increased into assurance
She was very equal
Therefore to address mister bingly on the subject of the ball
And abrupply reminded him of his promise
Adding that it would be the most shameful thing in the world
If he did not keep it his answer to this sudden attack was delightful to her mother's year
I am perfectly ready
I assure you to keep my engagement
And when your sisters were covered you shall if you please mean the very day of the ball
But you would not wish to be dancing
While she is ill
Lidia declared herself satisfied
Oh Yes
It would be much better to wait
Till jane was well
And by that time most likely kept in carter would be at meritin again
And when you have given your ball
She added i shall insist on there giving one
Also i shall tell kernel foster
It will be quite a shame
If he does not mrs bentt and her daughters then departed and elizabeth returned instantly to jane leaving her own and her relations behaviour to the remarks of the two ladies and mister darcy
The letter of whom however could not be prevailed on to join in their centre of her in spite of all misss
Bingle's witticisms unfinice
