..me"..me/傲慢与偏见最新章节!
Though Elizabeth would not,for the mere purpose of obligg Lady Cathere,have answered this question,she could not but say,after a moment''s deliberation:
“I am not.”
Lady Cathere seemed pleased.
“And will you promise me,never to enter to such an engagement?”
“I will make no promise of the kd.”
“Miss Bennet I am shocked and astonished.I expected to fd a more reasonable young woman.But do not deceive yourself to a belief that I will ever recede.I shall not go away till you have given me the assurance I require.”
“And I certaly never shall give it.I am not to be timidated to anythg so wholly unreasonable.Your ladyship wants Mr. Darcy to marry your daughter; but would my givg you the wished-for promise make their marriage at all more probable? Supposg him to be attached to me,would my refusg to accept his hand make him wish to bestow it on his cous?Allow me to say,Lady Cathere,that the arguments with which you have supported this extraordary application have been as frivolous as the application was ill-judged.You have widely mistaken my character,if you thk I can be worked on by such persuasions as these.How far your nephew might approve of your terference his affairs, I cannot tell; but you have certaly no right to concern yourself me.I must beg,therefore,to be importuned no farther on the subject.”
“Not so hasty,if you please.I have by no means done.To all the objections I have already urged,I have still another to add.I am no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sister''s famous elopement.I know it all;that the young man''s marryg her was a patched-up busess,at the expence of your father and uncles. And is such a girl to be my nephew''s sister?Is her husband,is the son of his late father''s steward, to be his brother? Heaven and earth!—of what are you thkg?Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?”
“You can now have nothg further to say,”she resentfully answered.“You have sulted me every possible method.I must beg to return to the house.”
And she rose as she spoke.Lady Cathere rose also,and they turned back.Her ladyship was highly censed.
“You have no regard, then, for the honour and credit of my nephew! Unfeelg, selfish girl! Do you not consider that a connection with you must disgrace him the eyes of everybody?”
