"
If
I
,
"
said
Mr.
Collins
,
"
were
so
fortunate
as
to
be
able
to
sing
,
I
should
have
great
pleasure
,
I
am
sure
,
in
obliging
the
company
with
an
air
;
for
I
consider
music
as
a
very
innocent
diversion
,
and
perfectly
compatible
with
the
profession
of
a
clergyman
.
I
do
not
mean
,
however
,
to
assert
that
we
can
be
justified
in
devoting
too
much
of
our
time
to
music
,
for
there
are
certainly
other
things
to
be
attended
to
.
The
rector
of
a
parish
has
much
to
do
.
In
the
first
place
,
he
must
make
such
an
agreement
for
tithes
as
a
may
be
beneficial
to
himself
and
not
offensive
to
his
patron
.
He
must
write
his
own
sermons
;
and
the
time
that
remains
will
not
be
too
much
for
his
parish
duties
,
and
the
care
and
improvement
of
his
dwelling
,
which
he
can
not
be
excused
from
making
as
a
comfortable
as
possible
.
And
I
do
not
think
it
of
light
importance
that
he
should
have
attentive
and
conciliatory
manner
towards
everybody
,
especially
towards
those
to
whom
he
owes
his
preferment
.
I
can
not
acquit
him
of
that
duty
;
nor
could
I
think
well
of
the
man
who
should
omit
an
occasion
of
testifying
his
respect
towards
anybody
connected
with
the
family
.
"
And
with
a
bow
to
Mr.
Darcy
,
he
concluded
his
speech
,
which
had
been
spoken
so
loud
as
a
to
be
heard
by
half
the
room
.
Many
stared
--
many
smiled
;
but
no
one
looked
more
amused
than
Mr.
Bennet
himself
,
while
his
wife
seriously
commended
Mr.
Collins
for
having
spoken
so
sensibly
,
and
observed
in
a
half-whisper
to
Lady
Lucas
,
that
he
was
a
remarkably
clever
,
good
kind
of
young
man
.
To
Elizabeth
it
appeared
that
,
had
her
family
made
an
agreement
to
expose
themselves
as
a
much
as
a
they
could
during
the
evening
,
it
would
have
been
impossible
for
them
to
play
their
parts
with
more
spirit
or
finer
success
;
and
happy
did
she
think
it
for
Bingley
and
her
sister
that
some
of
the
exhibition
had
escaped
his
notice
,
and
that
his
feelings
were
not
of
a
sort
to
be
much
distressed
by
the
folly
which
he
must
have
witnessed
.
That
his
two
sisters
and
Mr.
Darcy
,
however
,
should
have
such
an
opportunity
of
ridiculing
her
relations
,
was
bad
enough
,
and
she
could
not
determine
whether
the
silent
contempt
of
the
gentleman
,
or
the
insolent
smiles
of
the
ladies
,
were
more
intolerable
.
The
rest
of
the
evening
brought
her
little
amusement
.
She
was
teased
by
Mr.
Collins
,
who
continued
most
perseveringly
by
her
side
,
and
though
he
could
not
prevail
on
her
to
dance
with
him
again
,
put
it
out
of
her
power
to
dance
with
others
.
In
vain
did
she
entreat
him
to
stand
up
with
somebody
else
,
and
offer
to
introduce
him
to
any
young
lady
in
the
room
.
He
assured
her
,
that
as
to
dancing
,
he
was
perfectly
indifferent
to
it
;
that
his
chief
object
was
by
delicate
attentions
to
recommend
himself
to
her
and
that
he
should
therefore
make
a
point
of
remaining
close
to
her
the
whole
evening
.
There
was
no
arguing
upon
such
a
project
.
She
owed
her
greatest
relief
to
her
friend
Miss
Lucas
,
who
often
joined
them
,
and
good-naturedly
engaged
Mr.
Collins
's
conversation
to
herself
.
She
was
at
least
free
from
the
offense
of
Mr.
Darcy
's
further
notice
;
though
often
standing
within
a
very
short
distance
of
her
,
quite
disengaged
,
he
never
came
near
enough
to
speak
.
She
felt
it
to
be
the
probable
consequence
of
her
allusions
to
Mr.
Wickham
,
and
rejoiced
in
it
.
The
Longbourn
party
were
the
last
of
all
the
company
to
depart
,
and
,
by
a
manoeuvre
of
Mrs.
Bennet
,
had
to
wait
for
their
carriage
a
quarter
of
an
hour
after
everybody
else
was
gone
,
which
gave
them
time
to
see
how
heartily
they
were
wished
away
by
some
of
the
family
.
Mrs.
Hurst
and
her
sister
scarcely
opened
their
mouths
,
except
to
complain
of
fatigue
,
and
were
evidently
impatient
to
have
the
house
to
themselves
.
They
repulsed
every
attempt
of
Mrs.
Bennet
at
conversation
,
and
by
so
doing
threw
a
languor
over
the
whole
party
,
which
was
very
little
relieved
by
the
long
speeches
of
Mr.
Collins
,
who
was
complimenting
Mr.
Bingley
and
his
sisters
on
the
elegance
of
their
entertainment
,
and
the
hospitality
and
politeness
which
had
marked
their
behaviour
to
their
guests
.
Darcy
said
nothing
at
all
.
Mr.
Bennet
,
in
equal
silence
,
was
enjoying
the
scene
.
Mr.
Bingley
and
Jane
were
standing
together
,
a
little
detached
from
the
rest
,
and
talked
only
to
each
other
.
Elizabeth
preserved
as
steady
a
silence
as
either
Mrs.
Hurst
or
Miss
Bingley
;
and
even
Lydia
was
too
much
fatigued
to
utter
more
than
the
occasional
exclamation
of
"
Lord
,
how
tired
I
am
!
"
accompanied
by
a
violent
yawn
.
When
at
length
they
arose
to
take
leave
,
Mrs.
Bennet
was
most
pressingly
civil
in
her
hope
of
seeing
the
whole
family
soon
at
Longbourn
,
and
addressed
herself
especially
to
Mr.
Bingley
,
to
assure
him
how
happy
he
would
make
them
by
eating
a
family
dinner
with
them
at
any
time
,
without
the
ceremony
of
a
formal
invitation
.
Bingley
was
all
grateful
pleasure
,
and
he
readily
engaged
for
taking
the
earliest
opportunity
of
waiting
on
her
,
after
his
return
from
London
,
whither
he
was
obliged
to
go
the
next
day
for
a
short
time
.
Mrs.
Bennet
was
perfectly
satisfied
,
and
quitted
the
house
under
the
delightful
persuasion
that
,
allowing
for
the
necessary
preparations
of
settlements
,
new
carriages
,
and
wedding
clothes
,
she
should
undoubtedly
see
her
daughter
settled
at
Netherfield
in
the
course
of
three
or
four
months
.
Of
having
another
daughter
married
to
Mr.
Collins
,
she
thought
with
equal
certainty
,
and
with
considerable
,
though
not
equal
,
pleasure
.
Elizabeth
was
the
least
dear
to
her
of
all
her
children
;
and
though
the
man
and
the
match
were
quite
good
enough
for
her
,
the
worth
of
each
was
eclipsed
by
Mr.
Bingley
and
Netherfield
.
The
next
day
opened
a
new
scene
at
Longbourn
.
Mr.
Collins
made
his
declaration
in
form
.
Having
resolved
to
do
it
without
loss
of
time
,
as
his
leave
of
absence
extended
only
to
the
following
Saturday
,
and
having
no
feelings
of
diffidence
to
make
it
distressing
to
himself
even
at
the
moment
,
he
set
about
it
in
a
very
orderly
manner
,
with
all
the
observances
,
which
he
supposed
a
regular
part
of
the
business
.
On
finding
Mrs.
Bennet
,
Elizabeth
,
and
one
of
the
younger
girls
together
,
soon
after
breakfast
,
he
addressed
the
mother
in
these
words
:
