1"From the very beginning, from the first moment, I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing
2me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were
3such as to form that groundwork of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I
4had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to
5marry." "You have said quite enough, madam. I perfectly comprehend your feelings, and have now only to be ashamed of
6what my own have been. Forgive me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept my best wishes for your health
7and happiness." And with these words he hastily left the room, and Elizabeth heard him the next moment open the front
8door and quit the house. The tumult of her mind was now painfully great. She knew not how to support herself, and, from
9actual weakness, sat down and cried for half an hour. Her astonishment, as she reflected on what had passed, was
10increased by every review of it. That she should receive an offer of marriage from Mr. Darcy! that he should have been
11in love with her for so many months! so much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of all the objections which had
12made him prevent his friend's marrying her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his own case, was
13almost incredible! it was gratifying to have inspired unconsciously so strong an affection. But his pride, his
14abominable pride, his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to Jane, his unpardonable assurance in
15acknowledging, though he could not justify it, and the unfeeling manner which he had mentioned Mr. Wickham, his cruelty
16towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for a
17moment excited. She continued in very agitating reflections till the sound of Lady Catherine's carriage made her feel
18how unequal she was to encounter Charlotte's observation, and hurried her away to her room. [Illustration: "Hearing
19herself called" ] CHAPTER XXXV. [Illustration] Elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations
20which had at length closed her eyes. She could not yet recover from the surprise of what had happened: it was impossible
21to think of anything else; and, totally indisposed for employment, she resolved soon after breakfast to indulge herself
22in air and exercise. She was proceeding directly to her favourite walk, when the recollection of Mr. Darcy's sometimes
23coming there stopped her, and instead of entering the park, she turned up the lane which led her farther from the
24turnpike road. The park paling was still the boundary on one side, and she soon passed one of the gates into the ground.
25After walking two or three times along that part of the lane, she was tempted, by the pleasantness of the morning, to
26stop at the gates and look into the park. The five weeks which she had now passed in Kent had made a great difference in
27the country, and every day was adding to the verdure of the early trees. She was on the point of continuing her walk,
28when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove which edged the park: he was moving that way; and
29fearful of its being Mr. Darcy, she was directly retreating. But the person who advanced was now near enough to see her,
30and stepping forward with eagerness, pronounced her name. She had turned away; but on hearing herself called, though in
31a voice which proved it to be Mr. Darcy, she moved again towards the gate. He had by that time reached it also; and,
32holding out a letter, which she instinctively took, said, with a look of haughty composure, "I have been walking in the
33grove some time, in the hope of meeting you. Will you do me the honour of reading that letter?" and then, with a slight
34bow, turned again into the plantation, and was soon out of sight. With no expectation of pleasure, but with the
35strongest curiosity, Elizabeth opened the letter, and to her still increasing wonder, perceived an envelope containing
36two sheets of letter paper, written quite through, in a very close hand. The envelope itself was likewise full. Pursuing
37her way along the lane, she then began it. It was dated from Rosings, at eight o'clock in the morning, and was as
38follows:-- "Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of
39those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you. I write without any intention
40of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes, which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon
41forgotten; and the effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion, should have been spared, had
42not my character required it to be written and read. You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I demand your
43attention; your feelings, I know, will bestow it unwillingly, but I demand it of your justice.
