    “Do not make yourself uneasy,my love.Wherever you and Jane are known you must be respected and valued; and you will not appear to less advantage for having a couple of—or I may say, three—very silly sisters.We shall have no peace at Longbourn if Lydia does not go thto her go,then.el Forster is a sensible man,and will keep her out of any real mischief;and she is luckily too poor to be an object of prey to anybody.At Brighton she will be of less importance even as amon flirt than she has beehe officers will find womeer worth their notice. Let us hope, therefore, that her being there may teach her her own insignifice.At any rate, she ot grow many degrees worse,without authorising us to lock her up for the rest of her life.”

    With this answer Elizabeth was forced to be tent;but her own opinion tihe same,and she left him disappointed and sorry. It was not in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling on them. She was fident of having performed her duty,and to fret over unavoidable evils,ment them by ay,was no part of her disposition.

    Had Lydia and her mother known the substance of her fereh her father,their indignation would hardly have found expression in their united volubility.In Lydia's imagination, a visit thtonprised every possibility of earthly happiness. She saw, with the creative eye of fancy, the streets of that gay bathing-ce covered with officers. She saw herself the object of attention,to tens and to scores of them at present unknown.She saw all the glories of the camp—its tents stretched forth ieous uniformity of lines,crowded with the young and the gay,and dazzling with scarlet;and,toplete the view, she saw herself seated beh a tent, tenderly flirting with at least six officers at once.

    Had she known her sister sought to tear her from such prospects and such realities as these,what would have been her sensations?They could have been uood only by her mother, who might have felt nearly the same. Lydia's going thton was all that soled her for her mncholy vi of her husband's never intending to go there himself.

    But they were entirely ignorant of what had passed;and their raptures tinued, with little intermission, to the very day of Lydia's leaving home.

    Elizabeth was now to see Mr. Wickham for thest time. Having been frequently inpany with him since her return, agitation retty well over;the agitations of formal partiality entirely so.She had eve to dete the very gentleness which had first delighted her, an affectation and a sameo disgust and weary.In his present behaviour to herself,moreover, she had a fresh source of displeasure,for the ination he sooified of renewing those attentions which had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve,after what had since passed, to provoke her. She lost all  for him in finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous gantry;and while she steadily repressed it,could not but feel the reproof tained in his believing,that however long,and for whatever cause, his attentions had been withdrawn, her vanity would be gratified, and her preference secured at any time by their renewal.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
