This
was
agreed
to
,
and
Mrs.
Phillips
protested
that
they
would
have
a
nice
comfortable
noisy
game
of
lottery
tickets
,
and
a
little
bit
of
hot
supper
afterwards
.
The
prospect
of
such
delights
was
very
cheering
,
and
they
parted
in
mutual
good
spirits
.
Mr.
Collins
repeated
his
apologies
in
quitting
the
room
,
and
was
assured
with
unwearying
civility
that
they
were
perfectly
needless
.
As
they
walked
home
,
Elizabeth
related
to
Jane
what
she
had
seen
pass
between
the
two
gentlemen
;
but
though
Jane
would
have
defended
either
or
both
,
had
they
appeared
to
be
in
the
wrong
,
she
could
no
more
explain
such
behaviour
than
her
sister
.
Mr.
Collins
on
his
return
highly
gratified
Mrs.
Bennet
by
admiring
Mrs.
Phillips
's
manners
and
politeness
.
He
protested
that
,
except
Lady
Catherine
and
her
daughter
,
he
had
never
seen
a
more
elegant
woman
;
for
she
had
not
only
received
him
with
the
utmost
civility
,
but
even
pointedly
included
him
in
her
invitation
for
the
next
evening
,
although
utterly
unknown
to
her
before
.
Something
,
he
supposed
,
might
be
attributed
to
his
connection
with
them
,
but
yet
he
had
never
met
with
so
much
attention
in
the
whole
course
of
his
life
.
As
no
objection
was
made
to
the
young
people
's
engagement
with
their
aunt
,
and
all
Mr.
Collins
's
scruples
of
leaving
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Bennet
for
a
single
evening
during
his
visit
were
most
steadily
resisted
,
the
coach
conveyed
him
and
his
five
cousins
at
a
suitable
hour
to
Meryton
;
and
the
girls
had
the
pleasure
of
hearing
,
as
they
entered
the
drawing-room
,
that
Mr.
Wickham
had
accepted
their
uncle
's
invitation
,
and
was
then
in
the
house
.
When
this
information
was
given
,
and
they
had
all
taken
their
seats
,
Mr.
Collins
was
at
leisure
to
look
around
him
and
admire
,
and
he
was
so
much
struck
with
the
size
and
furniture
of
the
apartment
,
that
he
declared
he
might
almost
have
supposed
himself
in
the
small
summer
breakfast
parlour
at
Rosings
;
a
comparison
that
did
not
at
first
convey
much
gratification
;
but
when
Mrs.
Phillips
understood
from
him
what
Rosings
was
,
and
who
was
its
proprietor
--
when
she
had
listened
to
the
description
of
only
one
of
Lady
Catherine
's
drawing-rooms
,
and
found
that
the
chimney-piece
alone
had
cost
eight
hundred
pounds
,
she
felt
all
the
force
of
the
compliment
,
and
would
hardly
have
resented
a
comparison
with
the
housekeeper
's
room
.
In
describing
to
her
all
the
grandeur
of
Lady
Catherine
and
her
mansion
,
with
occasional
digressions
in
praise
of
his
own
humble
abode
,
and
the
improvements
it
was
receiving
,
he
was
happily
employed
until
the
gentlemen
joined
them
;
and
he
found
in
Mrs.
Phillips
a
very
attentive
listener
,
whose
opinion
of
his
consequence
increased
with
what
she
heard
,
and
who
was
resolving
to
retail
it
all
among
her
neighbours
as
soon
as
she
could
.
To
the
girls
,
who
could
not
listen
to
their
cousin
,
and
who
had
nothing
to
do
but
to
wish
for
an
instrument
,
and
examine
their
own
indifferent
imitations
of
china
on
the
mantelpiece
,
the
interval
of
waiting
appeared
very
long
.
It
was
over
at
last
,
however
.
The
gentlemen
did
approach
,
and
when
Mr.
Wickham
walked
into
the
room
,
Elizabeth
felt
that
she
had
neither
been
seeing
him
before
,
nor
thinking
of
him
since
,
with
the
smallest
degree
of
unreasonable
admiration
.
The
officers
of
the
--
--
shire
were
in
general
a
very
creditable
,
gentlemanlike
set
,
and
the
best
of
them
were
of
the
present
party
;
but
Mr.
Wickham
was
as
far
beyond
them
all
in
person
,
countenance
,
air
,
and
walk
,
as
they
were
superior
to
the
broad-faced
,
stuffy
uncle
Phillips
,
breathing
port
wine
,
who
followed
them
into
the
room
.
Mr.
Wickham
was
the
happy
man
towards
whom
almost
every
female
eye
was
turned
,
and
Elizabeth
was
the
happy
woman
by
whom
he
finally
seated
himself
;
and
the
agreeable
manner
in
which
he
immediately
fell
into
conversation
,
though
it
was
only
on
its
being
a
wet
night
,
made
her
feel
that
the
commonest
,
dullest
,
most
threadbare
topic
might
be
rendered
interesting
by
the
skill
of
the
speaker
.
With
such
rivals
for
the
notice
of
the
fair
as
Mr.
Wickham
and
the
officers
,
Mr.
Collins
seemed
to
sink
into
insignificance
;
to
the
young
ladies
he
certainly
was
nothing
;
but
he
had
still
at
intervals
a
kind
listener
in
Mrs.
Phillips
,
and
was
by
her
watchfulness
,
most
abundantly
supplied
with
coffee
and
muffin
.
When
the
card-tables
were
placed
,
he
had
the
opportunity
of
obliging
her
in
turn
,
by
sitting
down
to
whist
.
"
I
know
little
of
the
game
at
present
,
"
said
he
,
"
but
I
shall
be
glad
to
improve
myself
,
for
in
my
situation
in
life
--
"
Mrs.
Phillips
was
very
glad
for
his
compliance
,
but
could
not
wait
for
his
reason
.
