After the first fht or three weeks of her absence,health, good humour,and cheerfulness began to reappear at Longbourn. Everything wore a happier aspect.The families who had been in town for the winter came back again,and summer finery and summer es arose. Mrs. Be was restored to her usual querulous serenity;and,by the middle of Juty was so much recovered as to be able to enter Meryton without tears;a of such happy promise as to make Elizabeth hope that by the following Christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to mention an officer above once a day,unless,by some cruel and malicious arra at the War Offiiment should be quartered ion.
The time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast approag, and a fht only was wanting of it, when a letter arrived frardiner,which at once dyed itsme and curtailed its extent.Mr.Gardiner would be prevented by business from setting out till a fhtter in July,and must be in London again within a month,and as that left too short a period for them to go so far,and see so much as they had proposed,or at least to see it with the leisure andfort they had built on, they were obliged to give up the Lakes, and substitute a more tracted tour,and, to the present o go no farther northwards than Derbyshire.In that ty there was enough to be seen to upy the chief of their three weeks; and tardi had a peculiarly strong attra.The town where she had formerly passed some years of her life, and where they were now to spend a few days, robably as great an object of her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of Matlock,Chatsworth,Dovedale,or the Peak.
Elizabeth was excessively disappointed; she had set her heart on seeing the Lakes,and still thought there might have been time enough.But it was her busio be satisfied—aainly her temper to be happy;and all was sht again.
With the mention of Derbyshire there were many ideas ected. It was impossible for her to see the word without thinking of Pemberley and its owner.“But surely,”said she,“I may enter his ty without impunity,and rob it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving me.”
The period of expectation was now doubled. Four weeks were to pass away before her uncle and aunt's arrival. But they did pass away,and Mr.and Mrs.Gardiner,with their four children,did at length appear at Longbourn.The children, two girls of six a years old, and two younger boys, were to be left uhe particr care of their cousin Jane, who was the general favourite, and whose steady sense and sweetness of temper exactly adapted her for attending to them in every way—teag them,ying with them,and loving them.
The Gardiners stayed only one night at Longbourn, a off the m with Elizabeth in pursuit of y and amusement. One enjoyment was certain—that of suitableness ofpanions; a suitableness whichprehended health and temper to bear inveniences—cheerfulo enhance every pleasure—and affe and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were disappois abroad.
It is not the object of this work to give a deion of Derbyshire, nor of any of the remarkable ces through which their route thithery;Oxford,Blenheim,Warwick,Kenilworth,Birmingham, etc. are suffitly known.A small part of Derbyshire is all the present .To the little town of Lambton, the se ardiner's former residence, and where she hadtely learned some acquaintaill remaihey bent their steps, after having seen all the principal wonders of the try; and within five miles of Lambton, Elizabeth found from her aunt that Pemberley was situated.It was not in their direct road,nor more than a mile or two out of it.In talking over their route the evening before,Mrs.Gardiner expressed an ination to see the ce again.Mr.Gardiner dered his willingness,and Elizabeth lied to for her approbation.
“My love,should not you like to see a ce of which you have heard so much?”said her aunt;“a ce,too,with whiany of your acquaintances are ected.Wickham passed all his youth there,you know.”
Elizabeth was distressed. She felt that she had no business at Pemberley,and was obliged to assume a disination for seeing it.She must own that she was tired of seeing great houses;after going over so many,she really had no pleasure in fine carpets or satin curtains.
Mrs. Gardiner abused her stupidity.“If it were merely a fine house richly furnished,”said she,“I should not care about it myself; but the grounds are delightful.They have some of the fi woods in the try.”
Elizabeth said no more—but her mind could not acquiesce. The possibility of meeting Mr. Darcy, while viewing the ce, instantly urred.It would be dreadful!She blushed at the very idea,and thought it would be better to speak openly to her aunt than to run such a risk. But against this there were objes;and she finally resolved that it could be thest resource,if her private inquiries to the absence of the family were unfavourably answered.
ly,wheired at night,she asked the chambermaid whether Pemberley were not a very fine ce,what was the name of its proprietor,and,with no little rm,whether the family were down for the summer?A most wee ive followed thest question—and her rms now being removed, she was at leisure to feel a great deal of curiosity to see the house herself;and when the subject was revived the m,and she was again applied to, could readily answer, and with a proper air of indifferehat she had not really any dislike to the scheme.
To Pemberley,therefore,they were to go.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
