    Mary was the only daughter who remai home; and she was necessarily drawn from the pursuit of omplishments by Mrs.Be's being quite uo sit alone.Mary was obliged to mix more with the world,but she could still moralize over every m visit;and as she was no longer mortified byparisoween her sisters' beauty and her own,it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the ge without much reluce.

    As for Wickham and Lydia,their characters suffered no revolution from the marriage of her sisters. He bore with philosophy the vi that Elizabeth must now be acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude and falsehood had before been unknown to her;and in spite of every thing,was not wholly without hope that Darcy might yet be prevailed on to make his fortuhe grattory letter which Elizabeth received from Lydia on her marriage,exio her that,by his wife at least,if not by himself,such a hope was cherished.The letter was to this effect:

    “My Dear Lizzy,

    “I wish you joy. If you love Mr. Darcy half as well as I do my dear Wickham,you must be very happy.It is a greatfort to have you so rid when you have nothing else to do,I hope you will think of us. I am sure Wickham would like a ce at court very mud I do not think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help.Any ce would do,of about three or four hundred a year;but however,do not speak to Mr.Darcy about it,if you had rather not.

    “Yours,etc.”

    As it happehat Elizabeth had much rather not, she endeavoured in her ao put ao every ey and expectation of the kind.Such relief,however,as it was in her power to afford,by the practice of what might be called ey in her own private expences,she frequently sent them.It had always been evident to her that su ie as theirs,uhe dire of two persons so extravagant in their wants,and heedless of the future,must be very insuffit to their support;and whehey ged their quarters, either Jane or herself were sure of being applied to for some little assistaowards discharging their bills.Their manner of living,evehe restoration of peace dismissed them to a home,was uled ireme.They were always moving from ce to  quest of a cheap situation,and always spending more than they ought.His affe for her soon sunk into indifference;herssted a little longer;and in spite of her youth and her manners,she retained all the ims to reputation which her marriage had given her.

    Though Darcy could never receive him at Pemberley, yet, for Elizabeth's sake,he assisted him further in his profession.Lydia was asionally a visitor there, when her husband was goo enjoy himself in London or Bath; and with the Bihey both of them frequently stayed so long,that even Bingley's good humour was ovee,and he proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.

    Miss Bingley was very deeply mortified by Darcy's marriage;but as she thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at Pemberley,she dropt all her rese;was fohan ever of Giana,almost as atteo Darcy as heretofore,and paid off every arrear of civility to Elizabeth.

    Pemberley was now Giana's home;and the attat of the sisters was exactly what Darcy had hoped to see.They were able to love each other even as well as they intended.Giana had the highest opinion in the world of Elizabeth;though at first she often listened with an astonishment b on rm at her lively,sportive manner of talking to her brother.He,who had always inspired in herself a respect which almost overcame her affe,she now saw the object of open pleasantry.Her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen in her way.By Elizabeth's instrus,she began toprehend that a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not always allow in a sister more than ten years youhan himself.

    Lady Catherine was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew; and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in her reply to the letter whinous arra, she sent himnguage so very abusive, especially of Elizabeth, that for some time all intercourse was at an end. But at length,by Elizabeth's persuasion,he revailed on to overlook the offend seek a reciliation;and,after a little further resistan the part of his aunt, her rese gave way,either to her affe for him,or her curiosity to see how his wife ducted herself; and she desded to wait o Pemberley,in spite of that pollution which its woods had received,not merely from the presence of such a mistress,but the visits of her uncle and aunt from the city.

    With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.快眼看书小说阅读_www.bookcu.com
