Miss Be paused a little, and then replied,“Surely there be no asion for exposing him so dreadfully.What is your opinion?”
“That it ought not to be attempted.Mr.Darcy has not authorised me to make hismunication publi the trary, every particr rtive to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to myself; and if I endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his duct, who will believe me?The general prejudice against Mr. Darcy is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people ion to attempt to ce him in an amiable light.I am not equal to it.Wickham will soon be gone;and therefore it will not signify to anyone here what he really is. Some time he will be all found out, and then we mayugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before.At present I will say nothing about it.”
“You are quite right.To have his errors made public might ruin him for ever. He is now, perhaps, sorry for what he has done, and anxious to re-establish a character.We must not make him desperate.”
The tumult of Elizabeth's mind was ayed by this versation. She had got rid of two of the secrets which had weighed on her for a fht,and was certain of a willing listener in Jane, whenever she might wish to talk again of either. But there was still something lurking behind, of which prudence forbade the disclosure. She dared not rte the other half of Mr. Darcy's letter, nor exin to her sister how sincerely she had been valued by her friend.Here was knowledge in whio one could partake; and she was sensible that nothihan a perfederstandiween the parties could justify her in throwing off thisst encumbranystery.“And then,”said she,“if that very improbable event should ever take ce,I shall merely be able to tell what Bingley may tell in a much mreeable manner himself.The liberty ofmunication ot be miill it has lost all its value!”
She was now, on beiled at home, at leisure to observe the real state of her sister's spirits.Jane was not happy.She still cherished a very tender affe for Bingley.Having never even fancied herself in love before, her regard had all the warmth of first attat, and, from her age and disposition, greater steadihan first attats often boast;and so fervently did she value his remembrand prefer him to every other man, that all her good sense,and all her attention to the feelings of her friends, were requisite to check the indulgence of threts which must have been injurious to her owh and their tranquillity.
“Well,Lizzy,”said Mrs.Be one day,“what is your opinion now of this sad business of Jane's?For my part,I am determined o speak of it again to anybody.I told my sister Phillips so the other day. But I ot find out that Jane saw anything of him in London.Well,he is a very undeserving young man—and I do not suppose there's the least the world of her ever getting him now.There is no talk of hising to herfield again in the summer;and I have inquired of everybody,too,who is likely to know.”
“I do not believe he will ever live at herfield any more.”
“Oh well!it is just as he chooses.Nobody wants him toe. Though I shall always say he used my daughter extremely ill;and if I was her,I would not have put up with it.Well,myfort is, I am sure Jane will die of a broke;and then he will be sorry for what he has done.”
But as Elizabeth could not receivefort from any such expectation,she made no answer.
“Well, Lizzy,”tinued her mother,soon afterwards,“and so the Collinses live veryfortable, do they? Well,well,I only hope it willst.And what sort of table do they keep?Charlotte is an excellent manager,I dare say. If she is half as sharp as her mother,she is saving enough. There is nothiravagant in their housekeeping,I dare say.”
“No,nothing at all.”
“A great deal of good ma, depend upon it.Yes, yes.They will take care not to outrun their ie. They will never be distressed for money.Well, muay it do them!And so, I suppose, they often talk of having Longbourn when your father is dead.They look upon it as quite their own,I dare say,whehat happens.”
“It was a subject which they could not mention before me.”
“No; it would have been strange if they had; but I make no doubt they often talk of it between themselves.Well,if they be easy with ae that is notwfully their own,so much the better.I should be ashamed of having ohat was oailed on me.”快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
