    “I begin to be sorry that hees at all,”said Jao her sister.“It would be nothing;I could see him with perfedifference, but I  hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of. My mother means well;but she does not know,no one  know,how much I suffer from what she says.Happy shall I be,when his stay at herfield is over!”

    “I wish I could say anything tofort you,”replied Elizabeth;“but it is wholly out of my power.You must feel it;and the usual satisfa of preag patieo a sufferer is denied me, because you have always so much.”

    Mr. Bingley arrived. Mrs. Be, through the assistance of servants, trived to have the earliest tidings of it, that the period of ay and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could.She ted the days that must intervene before their invitation could be sent;hopeless of seeing him before. But ohird m after his arrival ifordshire,she saw him, from her dressing-room window,ehe paddod ride towards the house.

    Her daughters were eagerly called to partake of her joy. Jane resolutely kept her ce at the table;but Elizabeth,to satisfy her mother,went to the window—she looked,—she saw Mr.Darcy with him,and sat down again by her sister.

    “There is a gentleman with him,mamma,”said Kitty;“who  it be?”

    “Some acquaintance or other,my dear,I suppose;I am sure I do not know.”

    “La!”replied Kitty,“it looks just like that man that used to be with him before.Mr.what's-his-hat tall,proud man.”

    “Good gracious! Mr. Darcy!—and so it does, I vow.Well, any friend of Mr. Bingley's will always be wee here, to be sure;but else I must say that I hate the very sight of him.”

    Jane looked at Elizabeth with surprise and .She knew but little of their meeting in Derbyshire, and therefore felt for the awkwardness which must attend her sister, in seeing him almost for the first time after receiving his exnatory letter. Both sisters were ufortable enough.Each felt for the other, and of course for themselves; and their mother talked on, of her dislike of Mr. Darcy, and her resolution to be civil to him only as Mr. Bingley's friend, without being heard by either of them.But Elizabeth had sources of uneasiness which could not be suspected by Jao whom she had never yet had ce to shew Mrs. Gardiner's letter, or to rte her own ge of seowards him.To Jane,he could be only a man whose proposals she had refused,and whose merit she had undervalued;but to her own more extensive information, he was the person to whom the whole family were ied for the first of bes, and whom she regarded herself with an i,if not quite so te least as reasonable and just as what Ja for Bingley. Her astonishment at hising—at hising to herfield,to Longbourn,and voluntarily seeking her again,was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered behaviour in Derbyshire.

    The colour which had been driven from her face,returned for half a mih an additional glow,and a smile of delight added lustre to her eyes,as she thought for that space of time that his affe and wishes must still be unshaken.But she would not be secure.

    “Let me first see how he behaves,”said she;“it will then be early enough for expectation.”

    She sat ily at work,striving to beposed,and without daring to lift up her eyes,till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of her sister as the servant roag the door.Jane looked a little paler than usual,but more sedate than Elizabeth had expected.On the gentlemen's appearing,her colour increased;yet she received them with tolerable ease,and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any symptom of rese or any unnecessaryisance.

    Elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow,and sat down again to her work,with an eagerness which it did not oftenmand.She had ventured only one  Darcy.He looked serious,as usual;and,she thought,more as he had beeo look ifordshire, than as she had seen him at Pemberley. But, perhaps he could not in her mother's presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt. It ainful, but not an improbable,jecture.

    Bingley,she had likewise seen for an instant,and in that short period saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed. He was received by Mrs. Be with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed,especially when trasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of her curtsey and address to his friend.

    Elizabeth, particrly, who khat her mother owed to thetter the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy, was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distin so ill applied.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
