“Oh!Your uncle!He keeps a man-servant,does he?I am very glad you have somebody who thks of these thgs.Where shall you change horses? Oh! Bromley, of course. If you mention my name at the Bell,you will be attended to.”

Lady Cathere had many other questions to ask respectg their journey,and as she did not answer them all herself,attention was necessary, which Elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a md so occupied,she might have forgotten where she was. Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours;whenever she was alone,she gave way to it as the greatest relief;and not a day went by without a solitary walk, which she might dulge all the delight of unpleasant recollections.

Mr. Darcy''s letter she was a fair way of soon knowg by heart. She studied every sentence; and her feelgs towards its writer were at times widely different.When she remembered the style of his address,she was still full of dignation;but when she considered how unjustly she had condemned and upbraided him, her anger was turned agast herself;and his disappoted feelgs became the object of compassion. His attachment excited gratitude,his general character respect;but she could not approve him; nor could she for a moment repent her refusal, or feel the slightest clation ever to see him aga. In her own past behaviour, there was a constant source of vexation and regret;and the unhappy defects of her family,a subject of yet heavier chagr.They were hopeless of remedy. Her father, contented with laughg at them,would never exert himself to restra the wild giddess of his youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right herself,was entirely sensible of the evil. Elizabeth had frequently united with Jane an endeavour to check the imprudence of Cathere and Lydia;but while they were supported by their mother''s dulgence,what chance could there be of improvement?Cathere,weak-spirited,irritable,and completely under Lydia''s guidance,had been always affronted by their advice; and Lydia, self-willed and careless, would scarcely give them a hearg.They were ignorant, idle, and va.While there was an officer Meryton,they would flirt with him;and while Meryton was with a walk of Longbourn, they would be gog there forever.

Anxiety on Jane''s behalf was another prevailg concern; and Mr. Darcy''s explanation, by restorg Bgley to all her former good opion, heightened the sense of what Jane had lost. His affection was proved to have been scere, and his conduct cleared of all blame,unless any could attach to the implicitness of his confidence his friend.How grievous then was the thought that,of a situation so desirable every respect,so replete with advantage,so promisg for happess,Jane had been deprived,by the folly and decorum of her own family!

When to these recollections was added the development of Wickham''s character, it may be easily believed that the happy spirits which had seldom been depressed before, were now so much affected as to make it almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful.

Their engagements at Rosgs were as frequent durg the last week of her stay as they had been at first.The very last eveng was spent there;and her ladyship aga quired mutely to the particulars of their journey, gave them directions as to the best method of packg,and was so urgent on the necessity of placg gowns the only right way,that Maria thought herself obliged, on her return,to undo all the work of the morng,and pack her trunk afresh.

When they parted,Lady Cathere,with great condescension, wished them a good journey, and vited them to come to Hunsford aga next year;and Miss de Bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her hand to both.
