May
I
hope
,
madam
,
for
your
interest
with
your
fair
daughter
Elizabeth
,
when
I
solicit
for
the
honour
of
a
private
audience
with
her
in
the
course
of
this
morning
?
"
Before
Elizabeth
had
time
for
anything
but
a
blush
of
surprise
,
Mrs.
Bennet
answered
instantly
,
"
Oh
dear
!
--
yes
--
certainly
.
I
am
sure
Lizzy
will
be
very
happy
--
I
am
sure
she
can
have
no
objection
.
Come
,
Kitty
,
I
want
you
upstairs
.
"
And
,
gathering
her
work
together
,
she
was
hastening
away
,
when
Elizabeth
called
out
:
"
Dear
madam
,
do
not
go
.
I
beg
you
will
not
go
.
Mr.
Collins
must
excuse
me
.
He
can
have
nothing
to
say
to
me
that
anybody
need
not
hear
.
I
am
going
away
myself
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
nonsense
,
Lizzy
.
I
desire
you
to
stay
where
you
are
.
"
And
upon
Elizabeth
's
seeming
really
,
with
vexed
and
embarrassed
looks
,
about
to
escape
,
she
added
:
"
Lizzy
,
I
insist
upon
your
staying
and
hearing
Mr.
Collins
.
"
Elizabeth
would
not
oppose
such
an
injunction
--
and
a
moment
's
consideration
making
her
also
sensible
that
it
would
be
wisest
to
get
it
over
as
soon
and
as
quietly
as
possible
,
she
sat
down
again
and
tried
to
conceal
,
by
incessant
employment
the
feelings
which
were
divided
between
distress
and
diversion
.
Mrs.
Bennet
and
Kitty
walked
off
,
and
as
soon
as
they
were
gone
,
Mr.
Collins
began
.
"
Believe
me
,
my
dear
Miss
Elizabeth
,
that
your
modesty
,
so
far
from
doing
you
any
disservice
,
rather
adds
to
your
other
perfections
.
You
would
have
been
less
amiable
in
my
eyes
had
there
not
been
this
little
unwillingness
;
but
allow
me
to
assure
you
,
that
I
have
your
respected
mother
's
permission
for
this
address
.
You
can
hardly
doubt
the
purport
of
my
discourse
,
however
your
natural
delicacy
may
lead
you
to
dissemble
;
my
attentions
have
been
too
marked
to
be
mistaken
.
Almost
as
soon
as
I
entered
the
house
,
I
singled
you
out
as
the
companion
of
my
future
life
.
But
before
I
am
run
away
with
by
my
feelings
on
this
subject
,
perhaps
it
would
be
advisable
for
me
to
state
my
reasons
for
marrying
--
and
,
moreover
,
for
coming
into
Hertfordshire
with
the
design
of
selecting
a
wife
,
as
I
certainly
did
.
"
The
idea
of
Mr.
Collins
,
with
all
his
solemn
composure
,
being
run
away
with
by
his
feelings
,
made
Elizabeth
so
near
laughing
,
that
she
could
not
use
the
short
pause
he
allowed
in
any
attempt
to
stop
him
further
,
and
he
continued
:
"
My
reasons
for
marrying
are
,
first
,
that
I
think
it
a
right
thing
for
every
clergyman
in
easy
circumstances
(
like
myself
)
to
set
the
example
of
matrimony
in
his
parish
;
secondly
,
that
I
am
convinced
that
it
will
add
very
greatly
to
my
happiness
;
and
thirdly
--
which
perhaps
I
ought
to
have
mentioned
earlier
,
that
it
is
the
particular
advice
and
recommendation
of
the
very
noble
lady
whom
I
have
the
honour
of
calling
patroness
.
Twice
has
she
condescended
to
give
me
her
opinion
(
unasked
too
!
)
on
this
subject
;
and
it
was
but
the
very
Saturday
night
before
I
left
Hunsford
--
between
our
pools
at
quadrille
,
while
Mrs.
Jenkinson
was
arranging
Miss
de
Bourgh
's
footstool
,
that
she
said
,
'
Mr.
Collins
,
you
must
marry
.
A
clergyman
like
you
must
marry
.
Choose
properly
,
choose
a
gentlewoman
for
my
sake
;
and
for
your
own
,
let
her
be
an
active
,
useful
sort
of
person
,
not
brought
up
high
,
but
able
to
make
a
small
income
go
a
good
way
.
This
is
my
advice
.
Find
such
a
woman
as
soon
as
you
can
,
bring
her
to
Hunsford
,
and
I
will
visit
her
.
'
Allow
me
,
by
the
way
,
to
observe
,
my
fair
cousin
,
that
I
do
not
reckon
the
notice
and
kindness
of
Lady
Catherine
de
Bourgh
as
among
the
least
of
the
advantages
in
my
power
to
offer
.
You
will
find
her
manners
beyond
anything
I
can
describe
;
and
your
wit
and
vivacity
,
I
think
,
must
be
acceptable
to
her
,
especially
when
tempered
with
the
silence
and
respect
which
her
rank
will
inevitably
excite
.
Thus
much
for
my
general
intention
in
favour
of
matrimony
;
it
remains
to
be
told
why
my
views
were
directed
towards
Longbourn
instead
of
my
own
neighbourhood
,
where
I
can
assure
you
there
are
many
amiable
young
women
.
But
the
fact
is
,
that
being
,
as
I
am
,
to
inherit
this
estate
after
the
death
of
your
honoured
father
(
who
,
however
,
may
live
many
years
longer
)
,
I
could
not
satisfy
myself
without
resolving
to
choose
a
wife
from
among
his
daughters
,
that
the
loss
to
them
might
be
as
little
as
possible
,
when
the
melancholy
event
takes
place
--
which
,
however
,
as
I
have
already
said
,
may
not
be
for
several
years
.
This
has
been
my
motive
,
my
fair
cousin
,
and
I
flatter
myself
it
will
not
sink
me
in
your
esteem
.
And
now
nothing
remains
but
for
me
but
to
assure
you
in
the
most
animated
language
of
the
violence
of
my
affection
.
To
fortune
I
am
perfectly
indifferent
,
and
shall
make
no
demand
of
that
nature
on
your
father
,
since
I
am
well
aware
that
it
could
not
be
complied
with
;
and
that
one
thousand
pounds
in
the
four
per
cents
,
which
will
not
be
yours
till
after
your
mother
's
decease
,
is
all
that
you
may
ever
be
entitled
to
.
On
that
head
,
therefore
,
I
shall
be
uniformly
silent
;
and
you
may
assure
yourself
that
no
ungenerous
reproach
shall
ever
pass
my
lips
when
we
are
married
.
