    www..,最快更新傲慢与偏见 !

    after walking soe tie in this way, the two laies in front, the two ntleen behin, on resuing their places, after escening to the brink of the river for the better inspection of soe curious water-plant,there chance to be a little alteration. it originate in rs.gariner,who,fatigue by the exercise of the orning, foun elizabeths ar inaeate to her support, an conseently preferre her husbans. r. arcy took her place by her niece, an they walke on tother.after a short silence, the lay first spoke. she wishe hi to know that she ha been assure of his absence before she cae to the place, an accoringly began by observing, that his arrival ha been very unexpecte—“for your housekeeper,”she ae,“infore us that you woul certainly not be here till to-orrow; an inee, before we left bakewell, we unerstoo that you were not ieiately expecte in the country.”he acknowle the truth of it all, an sai that business with his stewar ha occasione his ing forwar a few hours before the rest of the party with who he ha been travelling.“they will join e early to-orrow,”he continue,“an aong the are soe who will clai an acaintance with you—r.ngley an his sisters.”

    elizabeth answere only by a slight bow. her thoughts were instantly riven back to the tie when r. ngleys nae ha been the last entione between the;an,if she ight ju by his plexion,his in was not very ifferently enga.

    “there is also one other person in the party,”he continue after a pause,“who ore particularly wishes to be known to you.will you allow e,or o i ask too uch,to introuce y sister to your acaintance uring your stay at labton?”

    the surprise of such an application was great inee; it was too great for her to know in what anner she accee to it.she ieiately felt that whatever esire iss arcy ight have of being acainte with her ust be the work of her brother,an, without looking farther, it was satisfactory; it was gratifying to know that his resentent ha not ae hi think really ill of her.

    they now walke on in silence,each of the eep in thought. elizabeth was not fortable;that was ipossible;but she was flattere an please. his wish of introucing his sister to her was a plient of the highest kin.they soon outstrippe the others, an when they ha reache the carria, r. an rs. gariner were half a arter of a ile behin.

    he then aske her to walk into the house—but she eclare herself not tire,an they stoo tother on the lawn.at such a tie uch ight have been sai,an silence was very awkwar. she wante to talk,but there seee to be an ebao on every subject.at last she recollecte that she ha been travelling,an they talke of atlock an oveale with great perseverance.yet tie an her aunt ove slowly—an her patience an her ieas were nearly worn our before the tete-a-tete was over.

    on r. an rs. gariners ing up they were all presse to go into the house an take soe refreshent; but this was ecline, an they parte on each sie with utost politeness. r.arcy hane the laies into the carria;an when it rove off,elizabeth saw hi walking slowly towars the house.

    the observations of her uncle an aunt now began;an each of the pronounce hi to be infinitely superior to anything they ha expecte.

    “he is perfectly well behave,polite,an unassuing,”sai her uncle.

    “there is soething a little stately in hi,to be sure,”replie her aunt,“but it is confine to his air,an is not unbeing.i can now say with the housekeeper,that though soe people ay call hi prou,i have seen nothing of it.”

    “i was never ore surprise than by his behaviour to us.it was ore than civil;it was really attentive;an there was no necessity for such attention. his acaintance with elizabeth was very trifling.”

    “to be sure, lizzy,”sai her aunt,“he is not so hansoe as wickha;or,rather,he has not wickhas countenance,for his features are perfectly goo.but how cae you to tell us that he was so isagreeable?”

    elizabeth excuse herself as well as she coul;sai that she ha like hi better when they et in kent than before,an that she ha never seen hi so pleasant as this orning.

    “but perhaps he ay be a little whisical in his civilities,”replie her uncle.“your great en often are;an therefore i shall not take hi at his wor about fishing, as he ight chan his in another ay,an warn e off his grouns.”

    elizabeth felt that they ha entirely istaken his character,but sai nothing.

    “fro what we have seen of hi,”continue rs. gariner,“i really shoul not have thought that he coul have behave in so cruel a way by anyboy as he has one by poor wickha.he has not an ill-nature look.on the contrary,there is soething pleasing about his outh when he speaks.an there is soething of ignity in his countenance that woul not give one an unfavourable iea of his heart. but, to be sure, the goo lay who showe us his house i give hi a ost flaing character! i coul harly help laughing alou soeties.but he is a liberal aster,i suppose,an that in the eye of a servant prehens every virtue.”

    elizabeth here felt herself calle on to say soething in vinication of his behaviour to wickha; an therefore gave the to unerstan,in as guare a anner as she coul,that by what she ha hear fro his relations in kent,his actions were capable of a very ifferent construction; an that his character was by no eans so faulty,nor wickhas so aiable,as they ha been consiere in hertforshire. in confiration of this, she relate the particulars of all the pecuniary transactions in which they ha been connecte,without actually naing her authority, but stating it to be such as ight be relie on.

    rs.gariner was surprise an concerne;but as they were now approaching the scene of her forer pleasures, every iea gave way to the char of recollection; an she was too uch enga in pointing out to her husban all the interesting spots in its environs to think of anything else.fatigue as she ha been by the ornings walk they ha no sooner ine than she set off again in est of her forer acaintance,an the evening was spent in the satisfactions of a intercourse renewe after any years iscontinuance.

    the occurrences of the ay were too full of interest to leave elizabeth uch attention for any of these new friens; an she coul o nothing but think, an think with woner, of r. arcys civility,an,above all,of his wishing her to be acainte with his sister.
