1"She did indeed, Louisa. I could hardly keep my countenance. Very nonsensical to come at all! Why must she be scampering
2about the country, because her sister had a cold? Her hair so untidy, so blowzy!" "Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you
3saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud, I am absolutely certain, and the gown which had been let down to hide it not
4doing its office." "Your picture may be very exact, Louisa," said Bingley; "but this was all lost upon me. I thought
5Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked remarkably well when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite escaped
6my notice." "You observed it, Mr. Darcy, I am sure," said Miss Bingley; "and I am inclined to think that you would not
7wish to see your sister make such an exhibition." "Certainly not." "To walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles,
8or whatever it is, above her ancles in dirt, and alone, quite alone! what could she mean by it? It seems to me to show
9an abominable sort of conceited independence, a most country-town indifference to decorum." "It shows an affection for
10her sister that is very pleasing," said Bingley. "I am afraid, Mr. Darcy," observed Miss Bingley, in a half whisper,
11"that this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes." "Not at all," he replied: "they were
12brightened by the exercise." A short pause followed this speech, and Mrs. Hurst began again,-- "I have an excessive
13regard for Jane Bennet,--she is really a very sweet girl,--and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with
14such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it." "I think I have heard you say
15that their uncle is an attorney in Meryton?" "Yes; and they have another, who lives somewhere near Cheapside." "That is
16capital," added her sister; and they both laughed heartily. "If they had uncles enough to fill all Cheapside," cried
17Bingley, "it would not make them one jot less agreeable." "But it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying
18men of any consideration in the world," replied Darcy. To this speech Bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it
19their hearty assent, and indulged their mirth for some time at the expense of their dear friend's vulgar relations. With
20a renewal of tenderness, however, they repaired to her room on leaving the dining-parlour, and sat with her till
21summoned to coffee. She was still very poorly, and Elizabeth would not quit her at all, till late in the evening, when
22she had the comfort of seeing her asleep, and when it appeared to her rather right than pleasant that she should go down
23stairs herself. On entering the drawing-room, she found the whole party at loo, and was immediately invited to join
24them; but suspecting them to be playing high, she declined it, and making her sister the excuse, said she would amuse
25herself, for the short time she could stay below, with a book. Mr. Hurst looked at her with astonishment. "Do you prefer
26reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular." "Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a
27great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else." "I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth;
28"I am not a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things." "In nursing your sister I am sure you have pleasure,"
29said Bingley; "and I hope it will soon be increased by seeing her quite well." Elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and
30then walked towards a table where a few books were lying. He immediately offered to fetch her others; all that his
31library afforded. "And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own credit; but I am an idle fellow; and
32though I have not many, I have more than I ever looked into." Elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself
33perfectly with those in the room. "I am astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have left so small a
34collection of books. What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!" "It ought to be good," he replied: "it
35has been the work of many generations." "And then you have added so much to it yourself--you are always buying books."
36"I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as these." "Neglect! I am sure you neglect nothing
37that can add to the beauties of that noble place. Charles, when you build your house, I wish it may be half as
38delightful as Pemberley." "I wish it may." "But I would really advise you to make your purchase in that neighbourhood,
39and take Pemberley for a kind of model. There is not a finer county in England than Derbyshire." "With all my heart: I
40will buy Pemberley itself, if Darcy will sell it." "I am talking of possibilities, Charles." "Upon my word, Caroline, I
41should think it more possible to get Pemberley by purchase than by imitation." Elizabeth was so much caught by what
42passed, as to leave her very little attention for her book; and, soon laying it wholly aside, she drew near the
43card-table, and stationed herself between Mr. Bingley and his eldest sister, to observe the game. "Is Miss Darcy much
44grown since the spring?" said Miss Bingley: "will she be as tall as I am?" "I think she will. She is now about Miss
45Elizabeth Bennet's height, or rather taller." "How I long to see her again! I never met with anybody who delighted me so
46much. Such a countenance, such manners, and so extremely accomplished for her age! Her performance on the pianoforte is
47exquisite." "It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "how young ladies can have patience to be so very accomplished as they
48all are." "All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?" "Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint
49tables, cover screens, and net purses. I scarcely know any one who cannot do all this; and I am sure I never heard a
50young lady spoken of for the first time, without being informed that she was very accomplished." "Your list of the
51common extent of accomplishments," said Darcy, "has too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it
52no otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen; but I am very far from agreeing with you in your estimation
53of ladies in general. I cannot boast of knowing more than half-a-dozen in the whole range of my acquaintance that are
54really accomplished." "Nor I, I am sure," said Miss Bingley. "Then," observed Elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great
55deal in your idea of an accomplished woman." "Yes; I do comprehend a great deal in it." "Oh, certainly," cried his
56faithful assistant, "no one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with. A
57woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word;
58and, besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her
59address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved." "All this she must possess," added Darcy; "and to all
60she must yet add something more substantial in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading." "I am no longer
61surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any." "Are you so severe upon
62your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all this?" "I never saw such a woman. I never saw such capacity, and taste,
63and application, and elegance, as you describe, united." Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley both cried out against the
64injustice of her implied doubt, and were both protesting that they knew many women who answered this description, when
65Mr. Hurst called them to order, with bitter complaints of their inattention to what was going forward. As all
66conversation was thereby at an end, Elizabeth soon afterwards left the room. "Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, when the
67door was closed on her, "is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex by undervaluing
68their own; and with many men, I daresay, it succeeds; but, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art."
69"Undoubtedly," replied Darcy, to whom this remark was chiefly addressed, "there is meanness in all the arts which ladies
70sometimes condescend to employ for captivation. Whatever bears affinity to cunning is despicable." Miss Bingley was not
71so entirely satisfied with this reply as to continue the subject.
