1"Good gracious! Lord bless me! only think! dear me! Mr. Darcy! Who would have thought it? And is it really true? Oh, my
2sweetest Lizzy! how rich and how great you will be! What pin-money, what jewels, what carriages you will have! Jane's is
3nothing to it--nothing at all. I am so pleased--so happy. Such a charming man! so handsome! so tall! Oh, my dear Lizzy!
4pray apologize for my having disliked him so much before. I hope he will overlook it. Dear, dear Lizzy. A house in town!
5Everything that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten thousand a year! Oh, Lord! what will become of me? I shall go
6distracted." This was enough to prove that her approbation need not be doubted; and Elizabeth, rejoicing that such an
7effusion was heard only by herself, soon went away. But before she had been three minutes in her own room, her mother
8followed her. "My dearest child," she cried, "I can think of nothing else. Ten thousand a year, and very likely more!
9'Tis as good as a lord! And a special licence--you must and shall be married by a special licence. But, my dearest love,
10tell me what dish Mr. Darcy is particularly fond of, that I may have it to-morrow." This was a sad omen of what her
11mother's behaviour to the gentleman himself might be; and Elizabeth found that, though in the certain possession of his
12warmest affection, and secure of her relations' consent, there was still something to be wished for. But the morrow
13passed off much better than she expected; for Mrs. Bennet luckily stood in such awe of her intended son-in-law, that she
14ventured not to speak to him, unless it was in her power to offer him any attention, or mark her deference for his
15opinion. Elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains to get acquainted with him; and Mr. Bennet
16soon assured her that he was rising every hour in his esteem. "I admire all my three sons-in-law highly," said he.
17"Wickham, perhaps, is my favourite; but I think I shall like your husband quite as well as Jane's." [Illustration: "The
18obsequious civility." [Copyright 1894 by George Allen.]] CHAPTER LX. [Illustration] Elizabeth's spirits soon rising to
19playfulness again, she wanted Mr. Darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her. "How could you begin?"
20said she. "I can comprehend your going on charmingly, when you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in
21the first place?" "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is
22too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." "My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my
23manners--my behaviour to you was at least always bordering on the uncivil, and I never spoke to you without rather
24wishing to give you pain than not. Now, be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?" "For the liveliness of your
25mind I did." "You may as well call it impertinence at once. It was very little less. The fact is, that you were sick of
26civility, of deference, of officious attention. You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking, and looking,
27and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused and interested you, because I was so unlike them. Had you not been
28really amiable you would have hated me for it: but in spite of the pains you took to disguise yourself, your feelings
29were always noble and just; and in your heart you thoroughly despised the persons who so assiduously courted you.
30There--I have saved you the trouble of accounting for it; and really, all things considered, I begin to think it
31perfectly reasonable. To be sure you know no actual good of me--but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love." "Was
32there no good in your affectionate behaviour to Jane, while she was ill at Netherfield?" "Dearest Jane! who could have
33done less for her? But make a virtue of it by all means. My good qualities are under your protection, and you are to
34exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me to find occasions for teasing and quarrelling with
35you as often as may be; and I shall begin directly, by asking you what made you so unwilling to come to the point at
36last? What made you so shy of me, when you first called, and afterwards dined here? Why, especially, when you called,
37did you look as if you did not care about me?" "Because you were grave and silent, and gave me no encouragement." "But I
38was embarrassed." "And so was I." "You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner." "A man who had felt less
39might." "How unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give, and that I should be so reasonable as to admit
40it! But I wonder how long you would have gone on, if you had been left to yourself. I wonder when you would have spoken
41if I had not asked you! My resolution of thanking you for your kindness to Lydia had certainly great effect. Too much, I
42am afraid; for what becomes of the moral, if our comfort springs from a breach of promise, for I ought not to have
43mentioned the subject? This will never do." "You need not distress yourself. The moral will be perfectly fair. Lady
44Catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate us were the means of removing all my doubts. I am not indebted for my
45present happiness to your eager desire of expressing your gratitude. I was not in a humour to wait for an opening of
46yours. My aunt's intelligence had given me hope, and I was determined at once to know everything." "Lady Catherine has
47been of infinite use, which ought to make her happy, for she loves to be of use. But tell me, what did you come down to
48Netherfield for? Was it merely to ride to Longbourn and be embarrassed? or had you intended any more serious
49consequences?" "My real purpose was to see you, and to judge, if I could, whether I might ever hope to make you love me.
50My avowed one, or what I avowed to myself, was to see whether your sister was still partial to Bingley, and if she were,
51to make the confession to him which I have since made." "Shall you ever have courage to announce to Lady Catherine what
52is to befall her?" "I am more likely to want time than courage, Elizabeth. But it ought to be done; and if you will give
53me 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
54admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But I have an aunt, too, who must not be longer
55neglected." From an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with Mr. Darcy had been overrated, Elizabeth had
56never yet answered Mrs. Gardiner's long letter; but now, having that to communicate which she knew would be most
57welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and
58immediately wrote as follows:-- "I would have thanked you before, my dear aunt, as I ought to have done, for your long,
59kind, satisfactory detail of particulars; but, to say the truth, I was too cross to write. You supposed more than really
60existed. But now suppose as much as you choose; give a loose to your fancy, indulge your imagination in every possible
61flight which the subject will afford, and unless you believe me actually married, you cannot greatly err. You must write
62again very soon, and praise him a great deal more than you did in your last. I thank you again and again, for not going
63to 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
64every day. I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but no one with such
65justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world that can
66be spared from me. You are all to come to Pemberley at Christmas. Yours," etc. Mr. Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was
67in a different style, and still different from either was what Mr. Bennet sent to Mr. Collins, in return for his last. /
