Elizabeth's spirits soon rising to yfulness again,she wanted Mr.Darcy to ount for his having ever fallen in love with her.“How could you begin?”said she.“I prehend yoing on charmingly, when you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first ce?”
“I ot fix on the hour,or the spot,or the look,or the words, whichid the foundation.It is too long ago.I was in the middle before I khat I had begun.”
“My beauty you had early withstood,and as for my manners—my behaviour to you was at least always b on the uncivil,and I never spoke to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not.Now be sincere;did you admire me for my impertinence?”
“For the liveliness of your mind,I did.”
“You may as well call it imperti o was very little less.The fact is, that you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious attention.You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking,and looking,and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused, and ied you, because I was so uhem. Had you not been really amiable, you would have hated me for it;but in spite of the pains you took to disguise yourself, your feelings were always noble and just;and in your heart,you thhly despised the persons who so assiduously courted you.There—I have saved you the trouble of ounting for it;and really, all things sidered, I begin to think it perfectly reasoo be sure, you knew no actual good of me—but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love.”
“Was there no good in your affeate behaviour to Jane while she was ill at herfield?”
“Dearest Jane! who could have done less for her? But make a virtue of it by all means. My good qualities are under your prote,and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible;and,iurn,it belongs to me to find asions for teasing and quarrelling with you as often as may be;and I shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling toe to the point atst?What made you so shy of me,when you first called,and afterwards dined here?Why,especially,when you called,did you look as if you did not care about me?”
“Because you were grave and silent,and gave me no encement.”
“But I was embarrassed.”
“And so was I.”
“You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner.”
“A man who had felt less,might.”
“How unlucky that you should have a reasonable ao give, and that I should be so reasonable as to admit it!But I wonder how long you would have gone on,if you had beeo yourself. I wonder when you would have spoken, if I had not asked you! My resolution of thanking you for your kio Lydia had certainly great effeuch,I am afraid;for what bes of the moral,if ourfort springs from a breach of promise?for I ought not to have mentiohe subject.This will never do.”
“You need not distress yourself.The moral will be perfectly fair. Lady Catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of removing all my doubts. I am not ied for my present happio yer desire of expressing yratitude.I was not in a humour to wait for any opening of yours. My aunt's intelligence had given me hope,and I was determi oo know every thing.”
“Lady Catherine has been of infinite use,which ought to make her happy, for she loves to be of use.But tell me,what did youe down to herfield for?Was it merely to ride to Longbourn and be embarrassed? or had you intended any more serious sequence?”
“My real purpose was to see you, and to judge, if I could, whether I might ever hope to make you love me.My avowed one, or what I avowed to myself,was to see whether your sister were still partial to Bingley,and if she were,to make the fession to him which I have since made.”
“Shall you ever have ce to annouo Lady Catherine what is to befall her?”
“I am more likely to want more time than ce,Elizabeth. But it ought to be done,and if you will give me a sheet of paper,it shall be done directly.”
“And if I had not a letter to write myself,I might sit by you and admire the evenness of your writing,as another youngdy once did.But I have an aunt,too,who must not be llected.”
From an unwillio fess how much her intimacy with Mr.Darcy had been over-rated,Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs.Gardiner's loer;but now,having that tomunicate which she knew would be most wee,she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and aunt had already lost three days of happiness,and immediately wrote as follows:
“I would have thanked you before,my dear aunt,as I ought to have done,for your long,kind,satisfactory,detail of particrs;but to say the truth,I was too cross to write.You supposed more than really existed. But now suppose as much as you choose;give a loose rein to your fandulge your imagination in every possible flight which the subject will afford,and unless you believe me actually married,you ot greatly err.You must write again very soon,and praise him a great deal more than you did in yourst. I thank you, again and again, for not going to the Lakes. How could I be so silly as to wish it!Your idea of the ponies is delightful.We will go round the Park every day.I am the happiest creature in the world.Perhaps other people have said so before, but no oh such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles,Iugh.Mr.Darcy sends you all the love in the world that he spare from me.You are all toe to Pemberley at Christmas.Yours,etc.”
Mr. Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style;and still different from either was what Mr.Be sent to Mr. Collins,in reply to hisst.
“Dear Sir,
“I must trouble you once more for grattions. Elizabeth will soohe wife of Mr. Darcy. sole Lady Catherine as well as you .But,if I were you,I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give.
“Yours sincerely,etc.”快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
