The diposure of spirits which this extraordinary visit threw Elizabeth into, could not be easily ovee; nor could she,for many hours,learn to think of it less than incessantly.Lady Catheri appeared, had actually takerouble of this journey from Rosings, for the sole purpose of breaking off her supposed e with Mr.Darcy.It was a rational scheme, to be sure!but from what the report of their e could inate,Elizabeth was at a loss to imagiill she recollected that his being the intimate friend of Bingley, and her being the sister of Jane,was enough,at a time when the expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for ao supply the idea. She had not herself otten to feel that the marriage of her sister must bring them more frequently together.And her neighbours at Lucas Lodge,therefore(for through theirmunication with the Collihe report,she cluded,had reached Lady Catherine), had only set that down as almost certain and immediate,which she had looked forward to as possible at some future time.
In revolving Lady Catherine's expressions,however,she could not help feeling some uneasiness as to the possible sequence of her persisting in this interference.From what she had said of her resolution to prevent their marriage,it urred to Elizabeth that she must meditate an application to her nephew; and how he might take a simr representation of the evils attached to a e with her, she dared not pronounce. She knew not the exact degree of his affe for his aunt,or his dependen her judgment,but it was natural to suppose that he thought much higher of herdyship than she could do;and it was certain that,in eing the miseries of a marriage with one,whose immediate es were so unequal to his own, his aunt would address him on his weakest side. With his notions of dignity, he would probably feel that the arguments, which to Elizabeth had appeared weak and ridiculous, tained much good sense and solid reasoning.
If he had been wavering before as to what he should do,which had often seemed likely, the advid ey of so near a rtion might settle every doubt, aermine him at oo be as happy as dignity unblemished could make him.In that case he would return no more.Lady Catherine might see him in her way through town;and his e to Bingley ofing again to herfield must give way.
“If, therefore, an excuse for not keeping his promise shoulde to his friend within a few days,”she added,“I shall know how to uand it. I shall then give over every expectation, every wish of his stancy.If he is satisfied with only regretting me,when he might have obtained my affes and hand,I shall soon cease tret him at all.”
The surprise of the rest of the family,on hearing who their visitor had been, was very great; but they obligingly satisfied it, with the same kind of supposition which had appeased Mrs.Be's curiosity; and Elizabeth ared from much teasing on the subject.
The m,as she was going downstairs,she was met by her father,who came out of his library with a letter in his hand.
“Lizzy,”said he,“I was going to look for you;e into my room.”
She followed him thither; and her curiosity to know what he had to tell her was heightened by the supposition of its being in some manner ected with the letter he held. It suddenly struck her that it might be from Lady Catherine; and she anticipated with dismay all the sequeions.
She followed her father to the fire ce, and they both sat dowhen said,
“I have received a letter this m that has astonished me exceedingly.As it principally s yourself,you ought to know its tents. I did not know before, that I had two daughters on the brink of matrimony. Let me gratte you on a very important quest.”
The colour now rushed into Elizabeth's cheeks in the instantaneous vi of its being a letter from the nephew,instead of the aunt;and she was uermined whether most to be pleased that he exined himself at all, or offehat his letter was not rather addressed to herself;when her father tinued:
“You look scious.Youngdies have great pration in such matters as these;but I think I may defy even yacity, to discover the name of your admirer.This letter is from Mr. Collins.”
“From Mr.Collins!and what he have to say?”快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
