Mrs. Bennet and her daughters then departed, and Elizabeth returnedinstantly to Jane, leaving her own and her relations’ behaviour to the remarksof the two ladies and Mr. Darcy; the latter of whom, however, could not beprevailed on to join in their censure of her, in spite of all Miss Bingley’switticisms on fine eyes.
Chapter 10The day passed much as the day before had done. Mrs. Hurst and MissBingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, whocontinued, though slowly, to mend; and, in the evening, Elizabeth joined theirparty in the drawing-room. The loo table, however, did not appear. Mr. Darcywas writing, and Miss Bingley, seated near him, was watching the progress ofhis letter, and repeatedly calling off his attention by messages to his sister. Mr.Hurst and Mr. Bingley were at piquet, r and Mrs. Hurst was observing theirgame.Elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused inattending to what passed between Darcy and his companion. The perpetualcommendations of the lady either on his hand-writing, or on the evenness ofhis lines, or on the length of his letter, with the perfect unconcern with whichher praises were received, formed a curious dialogue, and was exactly inunison with her opinion of each.“How delighted Miss Darcy will be to receive such a letter!”He made no answer.“You write uncommonly fast.”“You are mistaken. I write rather slowly.”“How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of a year!Letters of business, too! How odious I should think them!”“It is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of to yours.”“Pray tell your sister that I long to see her.”“I have already told her so once, by your desire.”“I am afraid you do not like your pen. Let me mend it for you. I mend pensremarkably well.”“Thank you—but I always mend my own.”“How can you contrive to write so even?”He was silent.“Tell your sister I am delighted to hear of her improvement on the harp, and
