He made no answer.
"You write uncommonly fast."
He was silent.
"Tell your sister I am delighted to hear of her
improvement on the harp; and pray let her
know that I am quite in raptures with her beau-

"I found," said he, "as the time drew near that I
had better not meet Mr. Darcy; that to be in the
same room, the same party with him for so
many hours together, might be more than I
could bear, and that scenes might arise un-
pleasant to more than myself."
"Most willingly."
"I did not think you would; and that being the
case, I cannot consider your situation with
much compassion."

"I am sure," said she, "I cried for two days to-

"But you see that Jane," said her aunt, "does not

"Very much."
"I have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly
improved within this year or two. When I last
saw her, she was not very promising. I am very
glad you liked her. I hope she will turn out
well."
"I dare say she will; she has got over the most
trying age."
Chapter 54
Elizabeth smiled.
"Lizzy, you must not do so. You must not sus-
pect me. It mortifies me. I assure you that I
have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an
agreeable and sensible young man, without
having a wish beyond it. I am perfectly satis-
fied, from what his manners now are, that he
never had any design of engaging my affection.
It is only that he is blessed with greater sweet-
ness of address, and a stronger desire of gene-
rally pleasing, than any other man."

"Yours, etc."
As it happened that Elizabeth had much rather
not, she endeavoured in her answer to put an
end to every entreaty and expectation of the
kind. Such relief, however, as it was in her
power to afford, by the practice of what might
be called economy in her own private expences,
she frequently sent them. It had always been
evident to her that such an income as theirs,
under the direction of two persons so extrava-
gant in their wants, and heedless of the future,
must be very insufficient to their support; and
whenever they changed their quarters, either
Jane or herself were sure of being applied to for
some little assistance towards discharging their
bills. Their manner of living, even when the
restoration of peace dismissed them to a home,
was unsettled in the extreme. They were al-
ways moving from place to place in quest of a
cheap situation, and always spending more
than they ought. His affection for her soon sunk
into indifference; hers lasted a little longer; and
in spite of her youth and her manners, she re-
tained all the claims to reputation which her
marriage had given her.
