Chapter
Six
The ladies of long borne weiited on those of nethther field
The visit was returned into form mispenett's pleasing matters grew on the goodwill of mrs herst and misbinglee
Although the mother was found to be intolerable
And the younger sisters not worth speaking to a wish of better acquainted with them was expressed towards the two eldest by jane
This attention was received with the greatest pleasure
But elizabeth still saw supersileousness in their treatment at everybody hardly accepting even her sister and could not like them
Though they are kindness to je e such as it was had a value as a rising in all probability from the influence of their brother's admiration
嗯
It was generally evident
Whenever they met that he did admire her and to her
It was equally evident
That jane was yielding to the preference
Which she had begun to entertain for him from the first
And was in a way to be very much in love
But she considered with pleasure
That it was not likely to be discovered by the world in general since jane united with great strength of feeling
A composure of temper and a uniformed cheerfulness of matter
Which would guard her from the suspicions of the important
She mentioned this to her friend miss lucas
It may perhaps be pleasant
Replied charlid to be able to impose on the public in such a case
But it is sometimes a disadvantage to be so very garded
If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it d
She may lose the opportunity of fixing him
And it will then be but or or consolation to believe the world equally in the dark
There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every attachment
That it is not safe to lead any to itself we can all begin freely a slight preference ces natural enough
But there are very few of us
Who have hard enough to be really in love without encouragement in nine cases out of ten
A woman had better show more affection than she feels billey likes her sister undoubtedly
But he may never do more than like her
If she does help him
Him
But she does not help him on much much
Her nature will allow
If i can perceive her regard for him
He must be a simpplton indeed not to discover it too remember alliza
That he does not know jane disposition as as do
But if a woman is partial to a man
And does not endeavor to conceal it
He must find it out perhaps
He must
If he sees enough of her
But the billy in jane meet tolerably
Often it is never for many hours together
And as they always see each other in large mixed parties
It is impossible
That every moment should be employed in conversing together
Jane should therefore make the most of every half hour in which she can command his attention
When she is secure of him
There will be leasure for falling in love
As much as she chooses your plan is a good one replied elizabeth th where is is questioned
But the desire are being well married
And if i were determined to get a rich husband or any husband idea say i should adopt it
But these are not jane feelings
She is not acting by design as yet
She cannot even be certain at the degree of her own regard
Nor of its reasonablss
She has known him only a fortnight
She danced four
Dances with him at mariton
She saw him one morning at his own house
And has since dinined in company with him four times
This is not quite enough to make her understand his character
Not as she represent it had she merely died with him
She might only have discovered whether he had a good appetite
But she must remember that four evenings have been also spent together
And four evenings may do a great deal
Yes
These four evenings have enable them to ascertain that they both like vingdom better than commerce
But with respect to any other leading characteristic
I do not imagine that much has been unfolded well said charlotd
I wish jane success with all my heart
And if she were married to him
Tomorrow i should think she had as good a chance of happiness
As if she were to be studying his character for a twelve month
Happiness and marriage is entirely a matter chance
If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar
Beforehand it does not advance their folicity in the least
They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vxation
And it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life
You make me laugh
Shall it
But it is not sound
You know it is not sound
And that you would never act in this way
Yourself occupied in observing mister bingley's attention to her sister elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend
Mister darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty
He had looked at without out miration at the ball and when they next met
He looked at her only to criticize
But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends
That she had hardly a good feature in her face
Then he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark guys to this discovery succeeded some others equally modifying
Though he had detected with a critical i
More than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form
He was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing and in spite of his asserting that her matters were not those of the fashionable world
He was caught by their easy playfulness of this
She was perfectly unaware to her
He was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere
And who had not bought her handsome enough to dance with he began to wish to know more of her
And as a steped toards conversing with her
Himself attended to her conversation with others
He's doing so duar her notice it was at serwilliam lukasses where a large party were assembled
What does mister darcy mean said she to sharl it by listening to my conversation with kernel foster
That is a question
Which mister darcy only can answer
But if he does it anymore
I shall certainly let him know that
I see what he is about
He has a very sattererical eye
And if i do not begin by being important myself
I shall soon grow afraid of him
The intredities of several on his approaching them soon afterwards that without seeming to have any intention of speaking miss lucis to fight her friend to mention such a subject to him
Which immediately provoking elizabeth to do it
She turned to him
And sad
Did not you think mister darsey that i expressed myself uncommonly well
Just now when i was teasing kernel foster to give us a balllet mariton with great energy
But it is a subject
Which always makes a lady energetic
You are severe on us
It will be her turn soon to be teased
Said miss lucus
I am going to open the instrument
Alliza and you know what follows you are a very strange creature by way of a friend always wanting me to play and singing before anybody and everybody
If my vannty had taken a musical turn
You would had been invaluable
But as it is
I would really rather not sit down before those who must be in the habit of hearing
The very best performers unmiss lucis is perseveiring
However she added very well if it must be so it must and gravely glancing at mister darcy there is a very final saying
Which everybody hears of course familiar with keep your breath to call your porridge
And i shall keep mind to swall my song perperforance was pleasing thethell by no means capital after a song or two and before she could reply to the intredies of several
That she would sing again
She was eagerly succeeded at the instrument by her sister mary who having in consequence of being
The only plain one in the family worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments was always impatient for display
Marihad neither gengenus nor tataste and vvanity had given her application
It had given her likewise a pedentic air and conceded matter
Which would have enjured a higher degree of excellence
Than she had reached elizabeth easy and unaffected
Had been listened to with much more pleasure
Though not playing half so well and mary at the end of a long conchaterto
O was glad to purchase praise and gratitude by scotton irish shares at the request of her younger sisters
Who was some of the lukasses and two or three officers joined eagerly endancing at one end of the room
Mister darsey stood near them in silent in dignation
At such a mode of passing the evening to the exclusion of all conversation
And was too much engrossed by his own thoughts to perceive that civilium lucs was his neighbour till serwilliam us bege what a charming amusement for young people
This is mister darcy
There is nothing like dancing
After all i consider it as one of the first refinements of polished societies certainly sir
And it has the advantage also a being involved amongst the less polish societies of the world
Every savage condance
Sir william only smiled your friend performs delightfully he continued after a pause on seeing bingly joined the group
And i doubt not that you are an addopt in the science
Yourself
Mister darcy
You saw me dance at mariton
I believe sir yes indeed and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the site
Do you often dancit saint ge genes
Never sir do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place
It is a compliment
Which i never paid to any place
If i can avoid it
You have a house in town
I conclude mister darcy bound
I had once some thoughts of fixing in town
Myself for i am fond of superior society
But i did not feel quite certain that the ir of lldon would agree with lady luucs
He paused on hopes of an answer
But his companion was not disposed to make any and elizabeth at that instant moving towards them
He was struck with the notion of doing a very gallant thing and called out to her
My dear missilliza
Why y're not you dancing
Mister darcy
You must allow me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner
You cannot refuse to dance
I am sure when so much beauty is before you and taking her hand
He would have given it to mister darcy
Who though extremely surprised was not unwilling to receive it
When she instantly drew back and said with some discpopoer to wililiam indeed sir
I have not the least intention of dancing
I am treatnot not suppose that i moved this way in order to beg for a partner
Mister darcy with great propriety requested to be allowed the honour of her hand
But in vain elisabeth was determined nor did its or william at all shake her purpose by his attempt at persuasation
You excel so much in the dance mss s lliza that it is cruel to deny me the happiness of seeing you and though this gentleman dislikes the amusement in general
He can have no objection
I am sure to oblige us for one half hour
Mister darcy is all pollightss said elizabeth smiling he is indeed
But considering the inducement
My dear myilliza
We cannot wonder at his complacence for who would object to such a partner
Elizabeth looked argely and turned away
Her resistance had not injured her with the gentleman
And he was thinking of her with some complacency
When that's accasred by miss blelee
I can guess the subject of your revalvery i should imagine not you were considering how insuportable
It would be to pass many evenings in this matter in such society and indeed i am quite of your opinion
I was never more annoyed the incipidity and yet the noise than nothingness and yet the self importance of all these people
What would i give to hear your structures on them
Your conjecture is totally wrong
I assure you
My mind was more agreably engaged
I had been meditating on the very great pleasure
Which a pair of finance in the face of a pretty woman
Can bestele miss binley immediately fixed her eyes on his face and desired he would tell her what lady had the credit of inspiring such refletions
Mister darcy replied with great interpidity missile lizabeth
Bennett
Missile lisaath
Bennett repeated mibblelee i am all astonishment
How long has she been such a favourite and pray
When i might to wish you joy
That is exactly the question
Which i expected you to ask a lady's imagination is very rapid
It jumps from admoration to love
From love to mattra money in a moment
I knew you would be wishing me joy ny
If you were so serious about it
I shall consider the matter as absolutely settled you will have a charming mother in law indeed
And of course she will be always a penmberly with you
He listeened to her with perfect indifference
While she chose to entertain herself in this matter
And as his composure convincts her that always safe her whit float along annote from misspspnet
