    As soon as they were gone,Elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits;or in other words,to dwell without interruption on those subjects that must deaden them more. Mr. Darcy's behaviour astonished and vexed her.

    “Why,if he came only to be silent,grave,and indifferent,”said she,“did hee at all?”

    She could settle it in no way that gave her pleasure.

    “He could be still amiable,still pleasing,to my uncle and aunt, when he was in town; and why not to me? If he fears me, whye hither? If he no longer cares for me, why silent?Teasing, teasing,man!I will think no more about him.”

    Her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach of her sister,who joined her with a cheerful look,which showed her better satisfied with their visitors,than Elizabeth.

    “Now,”said she,“that this first meeting is over,I feel perfectly easy.I know my own strength,and I shall never be embarrassed again by hising. I am d he dines here on Tuesday. It will then be publicly seen that, on both sides, we meet only asmon and indifferent acquaintance.”

    “Yes,very indifferent indeed,”said Elizabethughingly.“Oh, Jaake care.”

    “My dear Lizzy,you ot think me so weak,as to be in danger now?”

    “I think you are in very great danger of making him as mu love with you as ever.”

    They did not see the gentlemen again till Tuesday; and Mrs. Be,in the meanwhile,was giving way to all the happy schemes, which the good humour andmon politeness of Bingley,in half an hour's visit,had revived.

    On Tuesday there was arge party assembled at Longbourn;and the tere most anxiously expected,to the credit of their punctuality as sportsmen, were in very good time.When they repaired to the dining-room, Elizabeth eagerly watched to see whether Bingley would take the ce,whi all their former parties,had beloo him, by her sister. Her prudent mother, upied by the same ideas,forbore to invite him to sit by herself. Oering the room, he seemed to hesitate;but Jane happeo look round,and happeo smile: it was decided. He ced himself by her.

    Elizabeth, with a triumphaion, looked towards his friend. He bore it with noble indifference, and she would have imagihat Bingley had received his san to be happy,had she not seen his eyes likewise turowards Mr.Darcy,with an expression of halfughing rm.

    His behaviour to her sister was such, during diime, as showed an admiration of her,which,though muarded than formerly,persuaded Elizabeth,that if left wholly to himself,Jane's happiness,and his own,would be speedily secured.Though she dared not depend upon the sequence,she yet received pleasure from  his behaviour.It gave her all the animation that her spirits could boast;for she was in no cheerful humour.Mr.Darcy was almost as far from her as the table could divide them.He was on one side of her mother.She knew how little such a situation would give pleasure to either,or make either appear to advantage. She was not near enough to hear any of their discourse,but she could see how seldom they spoke to each other,and how formal and cold was their manner whehey did. Her mother's ungraciousness, made the sense of what they owed him more painful to Elizabeth's mind;and she would,at times,have given anything to be privileged to tell him that his kindness was her unknown nor u by the whole of the family.

    She was in hopes that the evening would afford some opportunity ing them together;that the whole of the visit would not pass away without enabling them to enter into something more of versation than the mere ceremonious salutation attending his entranxious and uneasy,the period which passed in the drawing-room, before the gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull to a degree that almost made her uncivil.She looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all her ce of pleasure for the evening must depend.

    “If he does o me,then,”said she,“I shall give him up for ever.”快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
