Elizabeth had settled it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit her the very day after her reaching Pemberley; and was consequently resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning. But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their own arrival at Lambton, these visitors came. They had been walking about the place with some of their new friends, and were just returned to the inn to dress themselves for dining with the same family, when the sound of a carriage drew them to a window, and they saw a gentleman and lady in a curricle, driving up the street. Elizabeth, immediately recognising the livery, guessed what it meant, and imparted no small degree of surprise to her relations by acquainting them with the honour which she expected. Her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on the business. Nothing had ever suggested it before, but they now felt that there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece. While these newly-born notions were passing in their heads, the perturbation of Elizabeth's feelings was every moment increasing. She was quite amazed at her own discomposure; but amongst other causes of disquiet, she dreaded lest the partiality of the brother should have said too much in her favour; and more than commonly anxious to please, she naturally suspected that every power of pleasing would fail her.?
She retreated from the window, fearful of being seen; and as she walked up and down the room, endeavouring to compose herself, saw such looks of enquiring surprise in her uncle and aunt as made every thing worse.?
Miss Darcy and her brother appeared, and this formidable introduction took place. With astonishment did Elizabeth see that her new acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself. Since her being at Lambton, she had heard that Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud; but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her that she was only exceedingly shy. She found it difficult to obtain even a word from her beyond a monosyllable.
Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance womanly and graceful. She was less handsome than her brother, but there was sense and good humour in her face, and her manners were perfectly unassuming and gentle. Elizabeth, who had expected to find in her as acute and unembarrassed an observer as ever Mr. Darcy had been, was much relieved by discerning such different feelings.
They had not been long together before Darcy told her that Bingley was also coming to wait on her; and she had barely time to express her satisfaction, and prepare for such a visitor, when Bingley's quick step was heard on the stairs, and in a moment he entered the room. All Elizabeth's anger against him had been long done away; but, had she still felt any, it could hardly have stood its ground against the unaffected cordiality with which he expressed himself on seeing her again. He enquired in a friendly, though general way, after her family, and looked and spoke with the same good-humoured ease that he had ever done.
To Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner he was scarcely a less interesting personage than to herself. They had long wished to see him. The whole party before them, indeed, excited a lively attention. The suspicions which had just arisen, of Mr. Darcy and their niece, directed their observation towards each with an earnest, though guarded, enquiry; and they soon drew from those enquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew what it was to love. Of the lady's sensations they remained a little in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was evident enough.
Elizabeth, on her side, had much to do. She wanted to ascertain the feelings of each of her visitors, she wanted to compose her own, and to make herself agreeable to all; and in the latter object, where she feared most to fail, she was most sure of success, for those to whom she endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour. Bingley was ready, Georgiana was eager, and Darcy determined to be pleased.
In seeing Bingley, her thoughts naturally flew to her sister; and oh! how ardently did she long to know whether any of his were directed in a like manner. Sometimes she could fancy that he talked less than on former occasions, and once or twice pleased herself with the notion that as he looked at her, he was trying to trace a resemblance. But though this might be imaginary, she could not be deceived as to his behaviour to Miss Darcy, who had been set up as a rival of Jane. No look appeared on either side that spoke particular regard. Nothing occurred between them that could justify the hopes of his sister. On this point she was soon satisfied; and two or three little circumstances occurred ere they parted which, in her anxious interpretation, denoted a recollection of Jane not untinctured by tenderness, and a wish of saying more that might lead to the mention of her, had he dared. He observed to her, at a moment when the others were talking together, and in a tone which had something of real regret, that it "was a very long time since he had had the pleasure of seeing her --" and, before she could reply, he added, "It is above eight months. We have not met since the 26th of November, when we were all dancing together at Netherfield."
Elizabeth was pleased to find his memory so exact; and he afterwards took occasion to ask her, when unattended to by any of the rest, whether all her sisters were at Longbourn. There was not much in the question, nor in the preceding remark, but there was a look and manner which gave them meaning.
It was not often that she could turn her eyes on Mr. Darcy himself; but, whenever she did catch a glimpse, she saw an expression of general complaisance, and in all that he said she heard an accent so far removed from hauteur or disdain of his companions, as convinced her that the improvement of manners which she had yesterday witnessed, however temporary its existence might prove, had at least outlived one day. When she saw him thus seeking the acquaintance and courting the good opinion of people, with whom any intercourse a few months ago would have been a disgrace; when she saw him thus civil, not only to herself, but to the very relations whom he had openly disdained, and recollected their last lively scene in Hunsford Parsonage, the difference, the change was so great, and struck so forcibly on her mind, that she could hardly restrain her astonishment from being visible. Never, even in the company of his dear friends at Netherfield, or his dignified relations at Rosings, had she seen him so desirous to please, so free from self-consequence or unbending reserve, as now, when no importance could result from the success of his endeavours, and when even the acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of Netherfield and Rosings.
Their visitors staid with them above half an hour, and when they arose to depart, Mr. Darcy called on his sister to join him in expressing their wish of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and Miss Bennet to dinner at Pemberley before they left the country. Miss Darcy, though with a diffidence which marked her little in the habit of giving invitations, readily obeyed. Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece, desirous of knowing how she, whom the invitation most concerned, felt disposed as to its acceptance, but Elizabeth had turned away her head. Presuming, however, that this studied avoidance spoke rather a momentary embarrassment, than any dislike of the proposal, and seeing in her husband, who was fond of society, a perfect willingness to accept it, she ventured to engage for her attendance, and the day after the next was fixed on.
Bingley expressed great pleasure in the certainty of seeing Elizabeth again, having still a great deal to say to her, and many enquiries to make after all their Hertfordshire friends. Elizabeth, construing all this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister, was pleased; and on this account, as well as some others, found herself, when their visitors left them, capable of considering the last half hour with some satisfaction, though while it was passing the enjoyment of it had been little. Eager to be alone, and fearful of enquiries or hints from her uncle and aunt, she staid with them only long enough to hear their favourable opinion of Bingley, and then hurried away to dress.
But she had no reason to fear Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner's curiosity; it was not their wish to force her communication. It was evident that she was much better acquainted with Mr. Darcy than they had before any idea of; it was evident that he was very much in love with her. They saw much to interest, but nothing to justify enquiry.
Of Mr. Darcy it was now a matter of anxiety to think well; and, as far as their acquaintance reached, there was no fault to find. They could not be untouched by his politeness, and, had they drawn his character from their own feelings and his servant's report, without any reference to any other account, the circle in Hertfordshire to which he was known would not have recognised it for Mr. Darcy. There was now an interest, however, in believing the housekeeper; and they soon became sensible that the authority of a servant who had known him since he was four years old, and whose own manners indicated respectability, was not to be hastily rejected. Neither had any thing occurred in the intelligence of their Lambton friends that could materially lessen its weight. They had nothing to accuse him of but pride; pride he probably had, and if not, it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants of a small market-town where the family did not visit. It was acknowledged, however, that he was a liberal man, and did much good among the poor.
With respect to Wickham, the travellers soon found that he was not held there in much estimation; for though the chief of his concerns with the son of his patron were imperfectly understood, it was yet a well known fact that on his quitting Derbyshire he had left many debts behind him, which Mr. Darcy afterwards discharged.
As for Elizabeth, her thoughts were at Pemberley this evening more than the last; and the evening, though as it passed it seemed long, was not long enough to determine her feelings towards one in that mansion; and she lay awake two whole hours endeavouring to make them out. She certainly did not hate him. No; hatred had vanished long ago, and she had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him that could be so called. The respect created by the conviction of his valuable qualities, though at first unwillingly admitted, had for some time ceased to be repugnant to her feelings; and it was now heightened into somewhat of a friendlier nature by the testimony so highly in his favour, and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light, which yesterday had produced. But above all, above respect and esteem, there was a motive within her of good will which could not be overlooked. It was gratitude. -- Gratitude, not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection. He who, she had been persuaded, would avoid her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent on making her known to his sister. Such a change in a man of so much pride excited not only astonishment but gratitude -- for to love, ardent love, it must be attributed; and as such, its impression on her was of a sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be exactly defined. She respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him; she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on the renewal of his addresses.
It had been settled in the evening, between the aunt and niece, that such a striking civility as Miss Darcy's, in coming to them on the very day of her arrival at Pemberley -- for she had reached it only to a late breakfast -- ought to be imitated, though it could not be equalled, by some exertion of politeness on their side; and, consequently, that it would be highly expedient to wait on her at Pemberley the following morning. They were, therefore, to go. -- Elizabeth was pleased, though, when she asked herself the reason, she had very little to say in reply.
Mr. Gardiner left them soon after breakfast. The fishing scheme had been renewed the day before, and a positive engagement made of his meeting some of the gentlemen at Pemberley by noon.?
--正文
伊麗莎白以為達(dá)西會(huì)在她造訪彭伯里的第二天就帶妹妹去拜訪她。為此，她還決定第二天早上一直待在旅館周?chē)?。但是她錯(cuò)了。因?yàn)樗麄兡翘煸缟系饺R姆頓之后，這些客人就到了。伊麗莎白他們正在附近和新朋友們閑逛，然后回到旅館換衣服準(zhǔn)備晚上跟剛才的朋友吃晚飯，正好一輛馬車(chē)的聲音把他們吸引到了窗戶(hù)旁邊，他們看到馬車(chē)?yán)镙d著位俊先生和俊小姐，在街上走著。伊麗莎白立刻認(rèn)出了馬車(chē)的樣式，知道是誰(shuí)過(guò)來(lái)了，便有些吃驚地跟叔叔嬸嬸說(shuō)有貴客來(lái)拜訪了。叔叔嬸嬸十分驚訝，他們看到伊麗莎白尷尬的樣子，還有昨天發(fā)生的種種事情，讓他們突然明白了這個(gè)事情。之前他們沒(méi)有看出來(lái)，但是現(xiàn)在他們明白了達(dá)西肯定是喜歡上了自己的侄女，不然沒(méi)法解釋他如此殷勤。他們正回味著這種新想法時(shí)，伊麗莎白的不安愈發(fā)強(qiáng)烈。她驚訝于自己無(wú)法鎮(zhèn)靜。但是相比與其它的煩惱，她最害怕達(dá)西因?yàn)槠珢?ài)她，而在達(dá)西小姐面前過(guò)分夸她。她十分想取悅達(dá)西小姐，但是又怕會(huì)弄巧成拙。
她從窗戶(hù)旁邊退下來(lái)，害怕被人見(jiàn)到。她在屋里走來(lái)走去，想讓自己平靜下來(lái)，然后就看到自己叔叔嬸嬸驚訝的神色，而這讓事情變得更糟了。
達(dá)西小姐和她哥哥出現(xiàn)，然后這個(gè)讓人生畏的介紹開(kāi)始了。但是令伊麗莎白驚訝的是，自己的這個(gè)新朋友至少跟自己一樣尷尬。她在萊姆頓的時(shí)候聽(tīng)人說(shuō)過(guò)達(dá)西小姐是很傲慢的人。但是經(jīng)過(guò)幾分鐘的相處，伊麗莎白確信她只是很害羞。她幾乎聽(tīng)不到達(dá)西小姐說(shuō)超過(guò)兩個(gè)字。
達(dá)西小姐個(gè)子很高，而且比伊麗莎白要高得多。盡管只有十六歲多，但是她的身材已經(jīng)有模有樣了，而且長(zhǎng)相也很女性化，很優(yōu)雅。她不想他哥哥那么俊，但是她的長(zhǎng)相給人明事理和快樂(lè)的感覺(jué)，而且她的舉止十分謙遜，溫和。伊麗莎白原來(lái)以為要對(duì)付一個(gè)跟達(dá)西一樣機(jī)靈又平靜的觀察者，但是結(jié)果恰恰相反，她也放松了下來(lái)。
他們聚在一起沒(méi)多久，達(dá)西就告訴伊麗莎白賓利也在等著見(jiàn)她。她還沒(méi)有來(lái)得及表達(dá)喜悅，準(zhǔn)備好見(jiàn)這位客人時(shí)，就已經(jīng)聽(tīng)到賓利快速得踩著樓梯上來(lái)了，很快就到了房間里面。伊麗莎白對(duì)他的憤怒早就消失了。但是就算她還有些恨意，見(jiàn)到他一如既往地?zé)崆楦约捍蛘泻?，也恨不起?lái)他吧。賓利友好地，但是簡(jiǎn)單地問(wèn)候了她的家人，他還是像以前一樣友善地看著她，跟她說(shuō)話。
對(duì)于加德納夫婦來(lái)說(shuō)，跟伊麗莎白一樣，賓利可是個(gè)有趣的名人。他們很早就想見(jiàn)他了。這一伙人很快讓屋里熱鬧了起來(lái)。他們對(duì)達(dá)西和自己侄女之間關(guān)系的疑心，驅(qū)使他們向兩個(gè)人做了熱情的，小心的調(diào)查。然后他們很快就得出結(jié)論——這兩人中間至少有一個(gè)嘗到了愛(ài)情的滋味。女士這邊呢可能還有些猶豫，但是男士這邊很明顯已經(jīng)是情意綿綿。
至于伊麗莎白，則有很多工作要做。她想確認(rèn)每位客人是怎么想的，同時(shí)控制住自己，保持鎮(zhèn)靜，并微笑待人。最后這個(gè)目標(biāo)她最怕失敗，但是卻是肯定會(huì)成功的，因?yàn)檫@些她想取悅的人早就準(zhǔn)備好了。賓利已做好準(zhǔn)備，喬治安娜十分渴望，而達(dá)西是堅(jiān)定地要被取悅。
一見(jiàn)到賓利，伊麗莎白就自然得想到了自己的姐姐。老天！她多么想知道賓利是不是也在想著自己的姐姐。有時(shí)候她甚至回想賓利并平時(shí)少說(shuō)幾句，會(huì)看一兩次自己，尋找自己和姐姐之間相似的地方。但是就算這是想象的東西，她卻不會(huì)搞錯(cuò)賓利對(duì)待達(dá)西小姐的樣子，達(dá)西小姐應(yīng)該是簡(jiǎn)的情敵。但是從兩邊來(lái)看都沒(méi)有什么互相愛(ài)慕的情況。他們之間什么都沒(méi)發(fā)生，這說(shuō)明自己的姐姐還有希望。在這點(diǎn)上，她很快就滿(mǎn)意了。在客人們走之前還發(fā)生了兩三件小事，伊麗莎白愛(ài)姐心切，發(fā)現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)并沒(méi)有被賓利以往。如果賓利當(dāng)時(shí)要是有膽量的話，她也許就會(huì)直接提到簡(jiǎn)了。當(dāng)其他人都在聊天的時(shí)候，賓利看了下伊麗莎白，帶著十分遺憾的語(yǔ)氣說(shuō)，他已經(jīng)很久沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到她了。而伊麗莎白還沒(méi)來(lái)得及回答，他就說(shuō)：“已經(jīng)超過(guò)八個(gè)月了。我們從十一月二十六號(hào)之后，就再也沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)了，當(dāng)時(shí)我們都在耐熱屯跳舞?！?/p>
伊麗莎白發(fā)現(xiàn)他記得那么清楚很高興。賓利后來(lái)又趁別人不注意，找機(jī)會(huì)問(wèn)她現(xiàn)在她的姐妹是不是都還住在蘑菇屯。這個(gè)問(wèn)題本身沒(méi)什么，問(wèn)之前說(shuō)的事情也沒(méi)什么，但是他的眼神和舉止讓這個(gè)問(wèn)題有了意義。
伊麗莎白不怎么有機(jī)會(huì)瞧瞧達(dá)西。但是她一有機(jī)會(huì)看到的都是達(dá)西和顏悅色的樣子，而且從他的言語(yǔ)中再也聽(tīng)不到對(duì)自己家人的傲慢和鄙視的神氣，這也讓伊麗莎白相信了，昨天見(jiàn)證的達(dá)西的改變，不管怎么短暫，至少堅(jiān)持了一天。她看著達(dá)西主動(dòng)跟人交際，給人留下好印象，而這些人幾個(gè)月之前他還不屑于認(rèn)識(shí)。她見(jiàn)到達(dá)西的禮貌，不僅是對(duì)于她自己，對(duì)之前他曾公開(kāi)鄙視的親戚也是如此，然后又想到之前在夯斯屯柯林斯家里面的情景，這個(gè)前后的差距如此巨大，給了伊麗莎白巨大的沖擊，以至于她無(wú)法控制地表現(xiàn)了出來(lái)。她從沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)，即使是跟自己最好的朋友在一起，或者是跟羅星那些高貴的親戚們?cè)谝黄?，達(dá)西像現(xiàn)在這樣迫切的去討好別人，不帶一點(diǎn)傲慢和克制的神氣。盡管他現(xiàn)在結(jié)識(shí)的人對(duì)于他的未來(lái)沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)幫助，甚至他現(xiàn)在結(jié)識(shí)的人會(huì)惹來(lái)耐熱屯和羅星的姑娘們的嘲弄和批評(píng)。
幾位客人待了超過(guò)半小時(shí)，他們臨走的時(shí)候，達(dá)西叫來(lái)自己妹妹一起邀請(qǐng)加德納夫婦和本內(nèi)特小姐在他們離開(kāi)農(nóng)村之前，到彭伯里吃頓晚飯。盡管從達(dá)西小姐害羞的樣子上看的出，她不經(jīng)常邀請(qǐng)別人，但是她還是愉快地照做了。加德納夫人看著自己的侄女，知道她一定很在意這份邀請(qǐng)，便想知道她是否愿意接受這份邀請(qǐng)，但是伊麗莎白早早地把頭扭了過(guò)去。但是，加德納夫人猜測(cè)這種有意的躲避更多的是因?yàn)闀簳r(shí)的害羞，而不是討厭這個(gè)邀請(qǐng)，她又看了下自己喜歡社交的丈夫，看出他十分愿意接受，最終加德納夫人決定接受邀請(qǐng)，雙方約好了后天赴約。
賓利表達(dá)了自己十分想再見(jiàn)到伊麗莎白的愿望，他還有很多東西想跟她說(shuō)，還有很多關(guān)于赫特福德朋友們的事情要詢(xún)問(wèn)。但是伊麗莎白認(rèn)為賓利只是想聽(tīng)她說(shuō)說(shuō)自己的姐姐，想到這里她就很開(kāi)心?？腿藗冸x開(kāi)了以后，在這點(diǎn)以及很多其它事情上，伊麗莎白覺(jué)得后半個(gè)小時(shí)還是有滿(mǎn)意的地方的，盡管當(dāng)時(shí)她并不很享受這個(gè)過(guò)程。因?yàn)楹芟胍粋€(gè)人待著，又害怕自己叔叔嬸嬸問(wèn)東問(wèn)西，所以她只是聽(tīng)他們夸了下賓利，然后就趕緊去換衣服了。
但是她沒(méi)有理由害怕加德納夫婦的好奇心，因?yàn)樗麄儾](méi)有逼伊麗莎白坦白。很明顯的是，跟她們倆想象中的情況相比，她跟達(dá)西要熟得多了。很明顯達(dá)西已經(jīng)深深?lèi)?ài)上了伊麗莎白。他們看到了很好奇，但是并不急于詢(xún)問(wèn)。
現(xiàn)在是否要對(duì)達(dá)西抱有好的想法是個(gè)問(wèn)題。在他們認(rèn)識(shí)的人里，沒(méi)聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)達(dá)西的壞話。他們無(wú)法對(duì)達(dá)西的禮貌無(wú)動(dòng)于衷，而且但是僅從他們自己的感受和一個(gè)仆人的觀點(diǎn)就認(rèn)定了達(dá)西的性格，而不參考別的東西的話，那么熟知他的赫特福德圈子也不會(huì)認(rèn)可這就是達(dá)西的?，F(xiàn)在他們有意相信管家的話，而且他們很快明白了一個(gè)從四歲就認(rèn)識(shí)達(dá)西的仆人，一個(gè)舉止值得尊敬的仆人，話語(yǔ)還是有點(diǎn)公信力的，不能匆忙否定。而且萊姆頓的朋友們也沒(méi)有減輕這些話的分量。除了傲慢，他們認(rèn)為達(dá)西無(wú)可指摘。他也許是傲慢的，但如果不是，這可能是因?yàn)檫_(dá)西家族不常拜訪萊姆頓的原因。但是大家公認(rèn)的是——達(dá)西是個(gè)慷慨的人， 他為窮人做了很多好事。
至于維克漢姆，萊姆頓的游客們很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)，他在這塊兒評(píng)價(jià)不高。因?yàn)楸M管他那檔子跟達(dá)西的事情，大家伙不太了解。但是每個(gè)人都知道他離開(kāi)德比郡的時(shí)候，他可是欠了一屁股債，而這些債后來(lái)都被達(dá)西免除了。
至于伊麗莎白，相比于昨晚，她今晚的心思更在彭博里上面。盡管時(shí)間好像過(guò)得很慢，但是卻不夠她確定對(duì)于那個(gè)大宅子里面某人的感情，她躺在床上兩個(gè)小時(shí)，試圖忘掉這些事情。她肯定是不討厭達(dá)西的，這點(diǎn)可以確定。對(duì)于達(dá)西的恨意，也很早前就消失了，甚至后來(lái)她會(huì)因?yàn)閷?duì)達(dá)西有恨意而感到羞愧。從證實(shí)了達(dá)西是個(gè)品質(zhì)優(yōu)秀的人之時(shí)，伊麗莎白就對(duì)他充滿(mǎn)尊敬，盡管她一開(kāi)始還不太樂(lè)意接受，后來(lái)花了些時(shí)間調(diào)整了自己的反抗心理也就接受了。而現(xiàn)在她昨天聽(tīng)說(shuō)了那么多他說(shuō)的好話，達(dá)西的性格又變得那么討喜，她對(duì)達(dá)西的感覺(jué)就更加友好了。但是除了自尊和尊重之外，她還有一個(gè)好心的動(dòng)機(jī)不能被忽視掉。這就是感激，不僅是感激達(dá)西之前愛(ài)過(guò)她，而且還感激他在自己如此任性而尖酸地拒絕她之后，對(duì)他做了那么多不公正的指責(zé)之后，還依然愛(ài)著她。盡管之前伊麗莎白還說(shuō)要做他最大的仇人，但是在這次意外會(huì)面的時(shí)候，達(dá)西似乎還很想跟她做朋友，而且提到兩人之間關(guān)系的時(shí)候，他沒(méi)有任何不尊重她的行為，也沒(méi)有什么古怪的舉止，而只是想討好她的朋友，還決定介紹她給自己的妹妹認(rèn)識(shí)。一個(gè)如此自傲的男人做出了這樣的改變，帶給伊麗莎白的感受除了驚訝，更有感激，因?yàn)檫@種行為只能歸功于愛(ài)，熱烈的愛(ài)。因此，盡管這件事給伊麗莎白的印象還無(wú)法定義，但是肯定不會(huì)是負(fù)面的，而且會(huì)有更多提升的空間。她尊重達(dá)西，敬重達(dá)西，而且感激達(dá)西。她現(xiàn)在很在意達(dá)西的幸福。她現(xiàn)在確定只要自己想，還能讓達(dá)西重新求婚，但是她只想知道自己要如何施展這樣的本事，還有自己要讓雙方達(dá)到怎樣的幸福。
晚上嬸嬸和侄女商議好了，達(dá)西小姐那么給面子，一回來(lái)彭博里就來(lái)拜訪他們，之所以這么說(shuō)是因?yàn)閯偝酝暝顼埖臅r(shí)候她就到了，盡管她們可能沒(méi)辦法做到別人那樣周全，但是也應(yīng)該還之以禮。因此于情于理，應(yīng)該第二天早上去彭博里回訪達(dá)西小姐，她們就這么決定了。伊麗莎白很開(kāi)心，但是她問(wèn)自己開(kāi)心的原因，但是卻又說(shuō)不出來(lái)。
加德納先生吃完早飯就走了，因?yàn)樽蛱焖指思抑匦律套h了下釣魚(yú)的事情，就決定了中午到彭博里和幾位先生碰面。
