1"I can readily believe," answered he, gravely, "that reports may vary greatly with respect to me; and I could wish, Miss
2Bennet, that you were not to sketch my character at the present moment, as there is reason to fear that the performance
3would reflect no credit on either." "But if I do not take your likeness now, I may never have another opportunity." "I
4would by no means suspend any pleasure of yours," he coldly replied. She said no more, and they went down the other
5dance and parted in silence; on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree; for in Darcy's breast there was a
6tolerably powerful feeling towards her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against another. They
7had not long separated when Miss Bingley came towards her, and, with an expression of civil disdain, thus accosted
8her,-- "So, Miss Eliza, I hear you are quite delighted with George Wickham? Your sister has been talking to me about
9him, and asking me a thousand questions; and I find that the young man forgot to tell you, among his other
10communications, that he was the son of old Wickham, the late Mr. Darcy's steward. Let me recommend you, however, as a
11friend, not to give implicit confidence to all his assertions; for, as to Mr. Darcy's using him ill, it is perfectly
12false: for, on the contrary, he has been always remarkably kind to him, though George Wickham has treated Mr. Darcy in a
13most infamous manner. I do not know the particulars, but I know very well that Mr. Darcy is not in the least to blame;
14that he cannot bear to hear George Wickham mentioned; and that though my brother thought he could not well avoid
15including him in his invitation to the officers, he was excessively glad to find that he had taken himself out of the
16way. His coming into the country at all is a most insolent thing, indeed, and I wonder how he could presume to do it. I
17pity you, Miss Eliza, for this discovery of your favourite's guilt; but really, considering his descent, one could not
18expect much better." "His guilt and his descent appear, by your account, to be the same," said Elizabeth, angrily; "for
19I have heard you accuse him of nothing worse than of being the son of Mr. Darcy's steward, and of that, I can assure
20you, he informed me himself." "I beg your pardon," replied Miss Bingley, turning away with a sneer. "Excuse my
21interference; it was kindly meant." "Insolent girl!" said Elizabeth to herself. "You are much mistaken if you expect to
22influence me by such a paltry attack as this. I see nothing in it but your own wilful ignorance and the malice of Mr.
23Darcy." She then sought her eldest sister, who had undertaken to make inquiries on the same subject of Bingley. Jane met
24her with a smile of such sweet complacency, a glow of such happy expression, as sufficiently marked how well she was
25satisfied with the occurrences of the evening. Elizabeth instantly read her feelings; and, at that moment, solicitude
26for Wickham, resentment against his enemies, and everything else, gave way before the hope of Jane's being in the
27fairest way for happiness. "I want to know," said she, with a countenance no less smiling than her sister's, "what you
28have learnt about Mr. Wickham. But perhaps you have been too pleasantly engaged to think of any third person, in which
29case you may be sure of my pardon." "No," replied Jane, "I have not forgotten him; but I have nothing satisfactory to
30tell you. Mr. Bingley does not know the whole of his history, and is quite ignorant of the circumstances which have
31principally offended Mr. Darcy; but he will vouch for the good conduct, the probity and honour, of his friend, and is
32perfectly convinced that Mr. Wickham has deserved much less attention from Mr. Darcy than he has received; and I am
33sorry to say that by his account, as well as his sister's, Mr. Wickham is by no means a respectable young man. I am
34afraid he has been very imprudent, and has deserved to lose Mr. Darcy's regard." "Mr. Bingley does not know Mr. Wickham
35himself." "No; he never saw him till the other morning at Meryton." "This account then is what he has received from Mr.
36Darcy. I am perfectly satisfied. But what does he say of the living?" "He does not exactly recollect the circumstances,
37though he has heard them from Mr. Darcy more than once, but he believes that it was left to him conditionally only." "I
38have not a doubt of Mr. Bingley's sincerity," said Elizabeth warmly, "but you must excuse my not being convinced by
39assurances only. Mr. Bingley's defence of his friend was a very able one, I dare say; but since he is unacquainted with
40several parts of the story, and has learnt the rest from that friend himself, I shall venture still to think of both
41gentlemen as I did before." She then changed the discourse to one more gratifying to each, and on which there could be
42no difference of sentiment. Elizabeth listened with delight to the happy though modest hopes which Jane entertained of
43Bingley's regard, and said all in her power to heighten her confidence in it. On their being joined by Mr. Bingley
44himself, Elizabeth withdrew to Miss Lucas; to whose inquiry after the pleasantness of her last partner she had scarcely
45replied, before Mr. Collins came up to them, and told her with great exultation, that he had just been so fortunate as
46to make a most important discovery. "I have found out," said he, "by a singular accident, that there is now in the room
47a near relation to my patroness. I happened to overhear the gentleman himself mentioning to the young lady who does the
48honours of this house the names of his cousin Miss De Bourgh, and of her mother, Lady Catherine. How wonderfully these
49sort of things occur! Who would have thought of my meeting with--perhaps--a nephew of Lady Catherine de Bourgh in this
50assembly! I am most thankful that the discovery is made in time for me to pay my respects to him, which I am now going
51to do, and trust he will excuse my not having done it before. My total ignorance of the connection must plead my
52apology." "You are not going to introduce yourself to Mr. Darcy?" "Indeed I am. I shall entreat his pardon for not
53having done it earlier. I believe him to be Lady Catherine's nephew. It will be in my power to assure him that her
54Ladyship was quite well yesterday se'nnight." Elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him from such a scheme; assuring him that
55Mr. Darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction as an impertinent freedom, rather than a compliment to
56his aunt; that it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either side, and that if it were, it must
57belong to Mr. Darcy, the superior in consequence, to begin the acquaintance. Mr. Collins listened to her with the
58determined air of following his own inclination, and when she ceased speaking, replied thus,--
