If
there
had
not
been
a
Netherfield
ball
to
prepare
for
and
talk
of
,
the
younger
Miss
Bennets
would
have
been
in
a
very
pitiable
state
at
this
time
,
for
from
the
day
of
the
invitation
,
to
the
day
of
the
ball
,
there
was
such
a
succession
of
rain
as
prevented
their
walking
to
Meryton
once
.
No
aunt
,
no
officers
,
no
news
could
be
sought
after
--
the
very
shoe-roses
for
Netherfield
were
got
by
proxy
.
Even
Elizabeth
might
have
found
some
trial
of
her
patience
in
weather
which
totally
suspended
the
improvement
of
her
acquaintance
with
Mr.
Wickham
;
and
nothing
less
than
a
dance
on
Tuesday
,
could
have
made
such
a
Friday
,
Saturday
,
Sunday
,
and
Monday
endurable
to
Kitty
and
Lydia
.
Till
Elizabeth
entered
the
drawing-room
at
Netherfield
,
and
looked
in
vain
for
Mr.
Wickham
among
the
cluster
of
red
coats
there
assembled
,
a
doubt
of
his
being
present
had
never
occurred
to
her
.
The
certainty
of
meeting
him
had
not
been
checked
by
any
of
those
recollections
that
might
not
unreasonably
have
alarmed
her
.
She
had
dressed
with
more
than
usual
care
,
and
prepared
in
the
highest
spirits
for
the
conquest
of
all
that
remained
unsubdued
of
his
heart
,
trusting
that
it
was
not
more
than
might
be
won
in
the
course
of
the
evening
.
But
in
an
instant
arose
the
dreadful
suspicion
of
his
being
purposely
omitted
for
Mr.
Darcy
's
pleasure
in
the
Bingleys
'
invitation
to
the
officers
;
and
though
this
was
not
exactly
the
case
,
the
absolute
fact
of
his
absence
was
pronounced
by
his
friend
Denny
,
to
whom
Lydia
eagerly
applied
,
and
who
told
them
that
Wickham
had
been
obliged
to
go
to
town
on
business
the
day
before
,
and
was
not
yet
returned
;
adding
,
with
a
significant
smile
,
"
I
do
not
imagine
his
business
would
have
called
him
away
just
now
,
if
he
had
not
wanted
to
avoid
a
certain
gentleman
here
.
"
This
part
of
his
intelligence
,
though
unheard
by
Lydia
,
was
caught
by
Elizabeth
,
and
,
as
it
assured
her
that
Darcy
was
not
less
answerable
for
Wickham
's
absence
than
if
her
first
surmise
had
been
just
,
every
feeling
of
displeasure
against
the
former
was
so
sharpened
by
immediate
disappointment
,
that
she
could
hardly
reply
with
tolerable
civility
to
the
polite
inquiries
which
he
directly
afterwards
approached
to
make
.
Attendance
,
forbearance
,
patience
with
Darcy
,
was
injury
to
Wickham
.
She
was
resolved
against
any
sort
of
conversation
with
him
,
and
turned
away
with
a
degree
of
ill-humour
which
she
could
not
wholly
surmount
even
in
speaking
to
Mr.
Bingley
,
whose
blind
partiality
provoked
her
.
But
Elizabeth
was
not
formed
for
ill-humour
;
and
though
every
prospect
of
her
own
was
destroyed
for
the
evening
,
it
could
not
dwell
long
on
her
spirits
;
and
having
told
all
her
griefs
to
Charlotte
Lucas
,
whom
she
had
not
seen
for
a
week
,
she
was
soon
able
to
make
a
voluntary
transition
to
the
oddities
of
her
cousin
,
and
to
point
him
out
to
her
particular
notice
.
The
first
two
dances
,
however
,
brought
a
return
of
distress
;
they
were
dances
of
mortification
.
Mr.
Collins
,
awkward
and
solemn
,
apologising
instead
of
attending
,
and
often
moving
wrong
without
being
aware
of
it
,
gave
her
all
the
shame
and
misery
which
a
disagreeable
partner
for
a
couple
of
dances
can
give
.
The
moment
of
her
release
from
him
was
ecstasy
.
She
danced
next
with
an
officer
,
and
had
the
refreshment
of
talking
of
Wickham
,
and
of
hearing
that
he
was
universally
liked
.
When
those
dances
were
over
,
she
returned
to
Charlotte
Lucas
,
and
was
in
conversation
with
her
,
when
she
found
herself
suddenly
addressed
by
Mr.
Darcy
who
took
her
so
much
by
surprise
in
his
application
for
her
hand
,
that
,
without
knowing
what
she
did
,
she
accepted
him
.
He
walked
away
again
immediately
,
and
she
was
left
to
fret
over
her
own
want
of
presence
of
mind
;
Charlotte
tried
to
console
her
:
"
I
dare
say
you
will
find
him
very
agreeable
.
"
"
Heaven
forbid
!
that
would
be
the
greatest
misfortune
of
all
!
To
find
a
man
agreeable
whom
on
is
determined
to
hate
!
Do
not
wish
me
such
an
evil
.
"
When
the
dancing
recommenced
,
however
,
and
Darcy
approached
to
claim
her
hand
,
Charlotte
could
not
help
cautioning
her
in
a
whisper
,
not
to
be
a
simpleton
,
and
allow
her
fancy
for
Wickham
to
make
her
appear
unpleasant
in
the
eyes
of
a
man
ten
times
his
consequence
.
Elizabeth
made
no
answer
,
and
took
her
place
in
the
set
,
amazed
at
the
dignity
to
which
she
was
arrived
in
being
allowed
to
stand
opposite
to
Mr.
Darcy
,
and
reading
in
her
neighbours
'
looks
,
their
equal
amazement
in
beholding
it
.
They
stood
for
some
time
without
speaking
a
word
;
and
she
began
to
imagine
that
their
silence
was
to
last
through
the
two
dances
,
and
at
first
was
resolved
not
to
break
it
;
till
suddenly
fancying
that
it
would
be
the
greater
punishment
to
her
partner
to
oblige
him
to
talk
,
she
made
some
slight
observation
on
the
dance
.
He
replied
,
and
was
again
silent
.
After
a
pause
of
some
minutes
,
she
addressed
him
a
second
time
with
:
--
"
It
is
your
turn
to
say
something
now
,
Mr.
Darcy
.
I
talked
about
the
dance
,
and
you
ought
to
make
some
sort
of
remark
on
the
size
of
the
room
,
or
the
number
of
couples
.
"
He
smiled
,
and
assured
her
that
whatever
she
wished
him
to
say
should
be
said
.
