New Basik When they had gone, Elizabeth, as if intending to sharpen her anger as much as possible against Mr Darcy, chose for her employment 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 poli− teness. 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 troubled 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 judg− ment 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, and though her intentions did
not change for one moment, she was at first sorry for the pain that he would receive, until, insulted by his langua− ge as he continued, 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.

Do not be troubled, madam, on recei− ving this letter. I write without any intention of upsetting you, or wounding my own self−respect, by mentioning 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..

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 description of Mr Bingley. They were forced at last to accept the second−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 advantage of observing, from an ups− tairs 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 ever− ything. Mr Bingley found it necessary to be in London the follo− wing 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..

12/14,5 pt 'You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming with all this ceremony to hear me. But I will not be afraid, though your sister does play so well. 'I shall not say that you are mista− ken,' he replied, 'because you could not really suppose me to have any intention of frightening you.'. Elizabeth laughed, and said to Colonel Fitzwilliam: 'Your cousin will teach you not to believe a word I say..It makes me want to behave badly towards him.. 'Then let me hear why you are angry with him,' said Colonel Fitzwilliam 'You shall hear but be ready for something very terrible. The first time I ever saw him was at a ball and what do you think he did at this ball? He danced only four dances, though there were very few gentlemen and, to my certain knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down for lack of a partner.' 'I had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady there, except from my own party. 'True, but can nobody ever be introduced in a ballroom? 'Perhaps,' said Darcy, 'I would have behaved better if I had asked for an introduction, but I am not someone who can easily make friends with strangers.
10/12 pt 'You are such an excellent dancer, Miss Eliza, that it is cruel to refuse me the happiness of seeing you, and though this gentleman dislikes the amusement in general. 'Mr Darcy is all politeness,' said Elizabeth smiling..She turned away. Her refusal had not harmed her in the gentleman's opinion, and he thought of her with some admiration.
