Had Elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family,she could not have formed a very pleasing picture of jugal felicity or domesticfort.Her father,captivated by youth ay, and that appearance of good humour which youth ay generally give,had married a woman whose weak uanding and illiberal mind had very early in their marriage put ao all real affe for her. Respect, esteem, and fidence had vanished for ever; and all his views of domestic happiness were overthrown. But Mr. Be was not of a disposition to seekfort for the disappoi which his own imprudence had brought on, in any of those pleasures which too often sole the unfortunate for their folly or their vice. He was fond of the try and of books; and from these tastes had arisen his principal enjoyments.To his wife he was very little otherwise ied, than as her ignorand folly had tributed to his amusement.This is not the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his wife;but where other powers of eai are wanting, the true philosopher will derive be from such as are given.
Elizabeth,however,had never been blind to the impropriety of her father's behaviour as a husband.She had always seen it with pain;but respeg his abilities,and grateful for his affeate treatment of herself, she endeavoured to et what she could not overlook, and to banish from her thoughts that tinual breach of jugal obligation and de which, in exposing his wife to the pt of her own children, was so highly reprehensible. But she had never felt sly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so unsuitable a marriage,nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising from so ill-judged a dire of talents;talents,which,rightly used,might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters,even if incapable the mind of his wife.
When Elizabeth had rejoiced over Wickham's departure, she found little other cause for satisfa in the loss of the regiment.Their parties abroad were less varied than before,and at home she had a mother and sister whose stant repinings at the dullness of everything around them threw a real gloom over their domestic circle; and, though Kitty might in time regain her natural degree of sense, sihe disturbers of her brain were removed, her other sister, from whose dispositioer evil might be apprehended,was likely to be hardened in all her folly and assurance by a situation of such double danger as a watering-d a camp.Upon the whole,therefore,she found,what has been sometimes found before,that ao which she had been looking forward with impatient desire did not,in taking ce, bring all the satisfa she had promised herself.It was sequently necessary to name some other period for theme of actual felicity—to have some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed, and by again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation, sole herself for the present, and prepare for another disappoi. Her tour to the Lakes was now the object of her happiest thoughts;it was her best stion for all the ufortable hours which the distentedness of her mother and Kitty made iable;and could she have included Jane in the scheme,every part of it would have been perfect.
“But it is fortuhought she,“that I have something to wish for.Were the whole arraplete,my disappoi would be certain. But here, by carrying with me one ceaseless source ret in my sister's absence,I may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of pleasure realised.A scheme of which every part promises delight ever be sessful;and general disappoi is only warded off by the defence of some little peculiar vexation.”
When Lydia went away she promised to write very often and very mio her mother and Kitty; but her letters were always long expected,and always very short.Those to her mother tained little else than that they were just returned from the library, where sud such officers had attehem, and where she had seen such beautiful ors as made her quite wild;that she had a new gown,or a new parasol,which she would have described more fully,but was obliged to leave off in a violent hurry,as Mrs.Forster called her,and they were going to the camp;and from her correspondeh her sister,there was still less to be learnt—for her letters to Kitty,though rather longer,were much too full of lines uhe words to be made public.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
