THE FIRST CHAPTER New Neighbours at Netherfield All that Mrs Bennet, together with her five daughters, could ask on the subject, was not enough to draw from her husband any satisfactory de− scription of Mr Bingley. They were forced at last to accept the se−cond− hand information of their neighbour, Lady Lucas. Her report was highly favourable. He was quite young, very good−looking, extremely agreeable, and, in addition to all this, he planned to be at the next public ball. Nothing could be more exciting! In a few days Mr Bingley returned Mr Bennet's visit, and sat for about ten minutes with him in the library. He had hoped to see the young ladies, of whose beauty he had heard a great deal, but he saw only the father.The ladies were more fortunate.They had the ad− vantage of observing, from an upstairs window, that he wore a blue coat and rode a black horse. An invitation to dinner was sent soon after, and Mrs Bennet had already planned the meal that was to show the quality of her housekeeping, when an answer arrived which changed everything. Mr Bingley found it necessary to be in London the following day, and was therefore unable to accept the honour of their invitation. Mrs Bennet was both disappointed and worried. She began to fear that he might always be flying about from one place to another, and never settled in Netherfield as he ought to be.

Do not be troubled, madam, on receiving this letter. I write without any intention of upsetting you, or wounding my own self−respect, by men− tioning unnecessarily what passed between us last night. But nay character demands this to be written and read. You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I ask your attention. You will, I know, give it unwillingly, but I must request it as a matter of justice.

New Basik When they had gone, Elizabeth, as if intending to sharpen her anger as much as possible against Mr Darcy, chose for her emplo− yment the examination of all the letters which Jane had written to her since her arrival in Kent. They contained no actual complaint, but in all, and in almost every line of each, there was a lack of the cheerfulness that had always been natural to her. Mr Darcy's shameful pride in what he had been able to cause gave Elizabeth a keener sense of her sister's sufferings. At this point she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the doorbell and, to her complete astonishment, she saw Mr Darcy walk into the room. In a hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her health. She answered him with cold politeness. He sat down for a few moments, and then, getting up, walked around the room. Elizabeth was surprised, but did not say a word. After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her in a trou−bled manner, and began to speak:: “ I have struggled without success. My feelings will not be controlled. You must allow me to tell you how warmly I admire and love you„ Elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. She looked away, red in the face, and was silent. He considered this enough encouragement, and the expression of all that he felt for her immediately followed. He spoke well, but there were other feelings to be described besides those of his heart, and his words were more concerned with pride than love.
His sense of her inferiority, his feeling that he was lowering himself, the family considerations that had caused his judgment to oppose his preference, all were expressed with a force that was unlikely to make his proposal acceptable. She could not fail to realize what an honour it was to receive such a man's attention,
she was at first sorry for the pain that he would receive, until, insulted by his language as he conti− nued, she lost all pity in anger. She tried to control herself, so she could answer him patiently when he had finished. He ended by expressing the hope that he would now be rewarded by her acceptance of his hand in marriage.
