In Darcy's presence she dared not mention Wickham's Elizabeth instantlyprehehat he permost ihoughts;and the various recolles ected with him gave her a moment's distress; but exerting herself vigorously to repel the ill-natured attack,she presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone.While she spoke, an involuntary nce showed her Darcy, with a heightenedplexion, early looking at her,and his sister ovee with fusion, and uo lift up her eyes.Had Miss Bingley known ain she was then giving her beloved friend, she undoubtedly would have refrained from the hint; but she had merely inteo dipose Elizabeth by bringing forward the idea of a man to whom she believed her partial, to make her betray a sensibility which might injure her in Darcy's opinion, and, perhaps, to remind thetter of all the follies and absurdities by whie part of her family were ected with that corps.Not a syble had ever reached her of Miss Darcy's meditated elopement.To no creature had it been revealed,where secrecy ossible,except to Elizabeth; and from all Bingley's es her brother articrly anxious to ceal it,from the very wish which Elizabeth had long ago attributed to him, of their bing hereafter her own. He had certainly formed such a n, and without meaning that it should effect his endeavour to separate him from Miss Be,it is probable that it might add something to his lively for the welfare of his friend.
Elizabeth's collected behaviour, however, soon quieted his emotion;and as Miss Bingley,vexed and disappointed,dared not approaearer to Wickham,Giana also recovered in time, though not enough to be able to speak any more. Her brother, whose eye she feared to meet,scarcely recollected her i in the affair,and the very circumstance which had been desigo turn his thoughts from Elizabeth seemed to have fixed them on her more and more cheerfully.
Their visit did not tinue long after the question and answer above mentioned; and while Mr. Darcy was attending them to their carriage Miss Bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on Elizabeth's person,behaviour,and dress.But Giana would not join her.Her brother's rmendation was enough to ensure her favour; his judgement could not err, and he had spoken in such terms of Elizabeth as to leave Giana without the power of findiherwise than lovely and amiable.When Darcy returo the saloon,Miss Bingley could not help repeating to him some part of what she had been saying to his sister.
“How very ill Miss Eliza Be looks this m,Mr.Darcy,”she cried;“I never in my life saw anyone so much altered as she is sihe winter.She is grown so brown and coarse!Louisa and I were agreeing that we should not have known her again.”
However little Mr. Darcy might have liked su address, he tented himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than her being rather tanned, no miraculous sequence of travelling in the summer.
“For my own part,”she rejoined,“I must fess that I never could see ay in her.Her face is too thin;herplexion has no brilliand her features are not at all handsome.Her nose wants character—there is nothing marked in its lines.Her teeth are tolerable, but not out of themon way; and as for her eyes,which have sometimes been called so fine,I could never see anythiraordinary ihey have a sharp,shrewish look,which I do not like at all;and in her air altogether,there is a self-sufficy without fashion,which is intolerable.”
Persuaded as Miss Bingley was that Darcy admired Elizabeth, this was not the best method of rmending herself; but angry people are not always wise;and in seeing him atst look somewhattled,she had all the sess she expected.He was resolutely silent,however,and,from a determination of making him speak,she tinued:
“I remember, when we first knew her ifordshire, how amazed we all were to find that she uted beauty;and I particrly recollect your saying one night,after they had been dining at herfield,'she a beauty!—I should as soon call her mother a wit.'But afterwards she seemed to improve on you,and I believe you thought her rather pretty at oime.”
“Yes,”replied Darcy,who could tain himself no longer,“but that was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have sidered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.”
He the away, and Miss Bingley was left to all the satisfa of having forced him to say what gave no one any pain but herself.
Mrs. Gardiner and Elizabeth talked of all that had urred during their visit,as they returned,except what had particrly ied them both.The look and behaviour of everybody they had seen were discussed, except of the person who had mostly eheir attentioalked of his sister, his friends, his house, his fruit—of everything but himself; yet Elizabeth was longing to know what Mrs. Gardihought of him, and Mrs. Gardiner would have been highly gratified by her niece's beginning the subject.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
