Elizabeth saw her sister's countenance change as she read it, and saw her dwelling intently on some particular passages. Jane recollected herself soon, and putting the letter away, tried to join with her usual cheerfulness in the general conversation. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

Soon after their return a letter was delivered to Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and was opened immediately. The envelope contained a sheet of elegant, little, hot-pressed paper, well covered with a lady's fair, flowing hand. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

His accompanying them was a double advantage; she felt all the compliment it offered to herself, and it was most acceptable as an occasion of introducing him to her father and mother. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

'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 unpleasant to more than myself.' #JaneAusten P&P Jane Austen

He joined them on their entering the town, and attended them to their aunt's, where his regret and vexation, and the concern of everybody, was well talked over. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

He scarcely ever spoke to her, and the assiduous attentions which he had been so sensible of himself were transferred for the rest of the day to Miss Lucas, whose civility in listening to him, was a seasonable relief to them all, and especially to her friend. #JaneAusten P&P Jane Austen

As for the gentleman himself, his feelings were chiefly expressed, not by embarrassment or dejection, or by trying to avoid her, but by stiffness of manner and resentful silence. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our estimation. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

Now, I do insist upon it, that you, all of you hold your tongues, and let Mr Collins and me have a little conversation together. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen

Her daughters listened in silence to this effusion, sensible that any attempt to reason with or sooth her would only increase the irritation. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice Jane Austen
