Sir
William
stayed
only
a
week
at
Hunsford
,
but
his
visit
was
long
enough
to
convince
him
of
his
daughter
's
being
most
comfortably
settled
,
and
of
her
possessing
such
a
husband
and
such
a
neighbour
as
were
not
often
met
with
.
While
Sir
William
was
with
them
,
Mr.
Collins
devoted
his
morning
to
driving
him
out
in
his
gig
,
and
showing
him
the
country
;
but
when
he
went
away
,
the
whole
family
returned
to
their
usual
employments
,
and
Elizabeth
was
thankful
to
find
that
they
did
not
see
more
of
her
cousin
by
the
alteration
,
for
the
chief
of
the
time
between
breakfast
and
dinner
was
now
passed
by
him
either
at
work
in
the
garden
or
in
reading
and
writing
,
and
looking
out
of
the
window
in
his
own
book-room
,
which
fronted
the
road
.
The
room
in
which
the
ladies
sat
was
backwards
.
Elizabeth
had
at
first
rather
wondered
that
Charlotte
should
not
prefer
the
dining-parlour
for
common
use
;
it
was
a
better
sized
room
,
and
had
a
more
pleasant
aspect
;
but
she
soon
saw
that
her
friend
had
an
excellent
reason
for
what
she
did
,
for
Mr.
Collins
would
undoubtedly
have
been
much
less
in
his
own
apartment
,
had
they
sat
in
one
equally
lively
;
and
she
gave
Charlotte
credit
for
the
arrangement
.
From
the
drawing-room
they
could
distinguish
nothing
in
the
lane
,
and
were
indebted
to
Mr.
Collins
for
the
knowledge
of
what
carriages
went
along
,
and
how
often
especially
Miss
de
Bourgh
drove
by
in
her
phaeton
,
which
he
never
failed
coming
to
inform
them
of
,
though
it
happened
almost
every
day
.
She
not
unfrequently
stopped
at
the
Parsonage
,
and
had
a
few
minutes
'
conversation
with
Charlotte
,
but
was
scarcely
ever
prevailed
upon
to
get
out
.
Very
few
days
passed
in
which
Mr.
Collins
did
not
walk
to
Rosings
,
and
not
many
in
which
his
wife
did
not
think
it
necessary
to
go
likewise
;
and
till
Elizabeth
recollected
that
there
might
be
other
family
livings
to
be
disposed
of
,
she
could
not
understand
the
sacrifice
of
so
many
hours
.
Now
and
then
they
were
honoured
with
a
call
from
her
ladyship
,
and
nothing
escaped
her
observation
that
was
passing
in
the
room
during
these
visits
.
She
examined
into
their
employments
,
looked
at
their
work
,
and
advised
them
to
do
it
differently
;
found
fault
with
the
arrangement
of
the
furniture
;
or
detected
the
housemaid
in
negligence
;
and
if
she
accepted
any
refreshment
,
seemed
to
do
it
only
for
the
sake
of
finding
out
that
Mrs.
Collins
's
joints
of
meat
were
too
large
for
her
family
.
Elizabeth
soon
perceived
,
that
though
this
great
lady
was
not
in
commission
of
the
peace
of
the
county
,
she
was
a
most
active
magistrate
in
her
own
parish
,
the
minutest
concerns
of
which
were
carried
to
her
by
Mr.
Collins
;
and
whenever
any
of
the
cottagers
were
disposed
to
be
quarrelsome
,
discontented
,
or
too
poor
,
she
sallied
forth
into
the
village
to
settle
their
differences
,
silence
their
complaints
,
and
scold
them
into
harmony
and
plenty
.
The
entertainment
of
dining
at
Rosings
was
repeated
about
twice
a
week
;
and
,
allowing
for
the
loss
of
Sir
William
,
and
there
being
only
one
card-table
in
the
evening
,
every
such
entertainment
was
the
counterpart
of
the
first
.
Their
other
engagements
were
few
,
as
the
style
of
living
in
the
neighbourhood
in
general
was
beyond
Mr.
Collins
's
reach
.
This
,
however
,
was
no
evil
to
Elizabeth
,
and
upon
the
whole
she
spent
her
time
comfortably
enough
;
there
were
half-hours
of
pleasant
conversation
with
Charlotte
,
and
the
weather
was
so
fine
for
the
time
of
year
that
she
had
often
great
enjoyment
out
of
doors
.
Her
favourite
walk
,
and
where
she
frequently
went
while
the
others
were
calling
on
Lady
Catherine
,
was
along
the
open
grove
which
edged
that
side
of
the
park
,
where
there
was
a
nice
sheltered
path
,
which
no
one
seemed
to
value
but
herself
,
and
where
she
felt
beyond
the
reach
of
Lady
Catherine
's
curiosity
.
In
this
quiet
way
,
the
first
fortnight
of
her
visit
soon
passed
away
.
Easter
was
approaching
,
and
the
week
preceding
it
was
to
bring
an
addition
to
the
family
at
Rosings
,
which
in
so
small
a
circle
must
be
important
.
Elizabeth
had
heard
soon
after
her
arrival
that
Mr.
Darcy
was
expected
there
in
the
course
of
a
few
weeks
,
and
though
there
were
not
many
of
her
acquaintances
whom
she
did
not
prefer
,
his
coming
would
furnish
one
comparatively
new
to
look
at
in
their
Rosings
parties
,
and
she
might
be
amused
in
seeing
how
hopeless
Miss
Bingley
's
designs
on
him
were
,
by
his
behaviour
to
his
cousin
,
for
whom
he
was
evidently
destined
by
Lady
Catherine
,
who
talked
of
his
coming
with
the
greatest
satisfaction
,
spoke
of
him
in
terms
of
the
highest
admiration
,
and
seemed
almost
angry
to
find
that
he
had
already
been
frequently
seen
by
Miss
Lucas
and
herself
.
His
arrival
was
soon
known
at
the
Parsonage
;
for
Mr.
Collins
was
walking
the
whole
morning
within
view
of
the
lodges
opening
into
Hunsford
Lane
,
in
order
to
have
the
earliest
assurance
of
it
,
and
after
making
his
bow
as
the
carriage
turned
into
the
Park
,
hurried
home
with
the
great
intelligence
.
On
the
following
morning
he
hastened
to
Rosings
to
pay
his
respects
.
There
were
two
nephews
of
Lady
Catherine
to
require
them
,
for
Mr.
Darcy
had
brought
with
him
a
Colonel
Fitzwilliam
,
the
younger
son
of
his
uncle
Lord
--
--
and
,
to
the
great
surprise
of
all
the
party
,
when
Mr.
Collins
returned
,
the
gentleman
accompanied
him
.
Charlotte
had
seen
them
from
her
husband
's
room
,
crossing
the
road
,
and
immediately
running
into
the
other
,
told
the
girls
what
an
honour
they
might
expect
,
adding
:
"
I
may
thank
you
,
Eliza
,
for
this
piece
of
civility
.
Mr.
Darcy
would
never
have
come
so
soon
to
wait
upon
me
.
"
Elizabeth
had
scarcely
time
to
disclaim
all
right
to
the
compliment
,
before
their
approach
was
announced
by
the
door-bell
,
and
shortly
afterwards
the
three
gentlemen
entered
the
room
.
