“Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But
there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is
very pretty, and I dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my
partner to introduce you.”
(DIR03.01) [] “Which do you mean?” and turning round
he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he
withdrew his own and coldly said: (PER03.01) [] “She is
tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me;”
(PER03.02) [] “I am in no humour at present to give
consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.
You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles,
for (ASR03.01) [] you are wasting your time with me.”
Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off; and
Elizabeth remained with no very cordial feelings toward him.
She told the story, however, with great spirit among her
friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which
delighted in anything ridiculous.

“My dear Miss Eliza, why are you not dancing? Mr. Darcy,
you must allow me to present this young lady to you as a
very desirable partner. You cannot refuse to dance, I am sure
when so much beauty is before you.” And, taking her hand,
he would have given it to Mr. Darcy who, though extremely
surprised, was not unwilling to receive it, when she instantly
drew back, and said with some discomposure to Sir William:
(ASR06.01) [] “Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of
dancing. (DIR06.01) [] I entreat you not to suppose that I
moved this way in order to beg for a partner.”
Mr. Darcy, with grave propriety, requested to be allowed the
honour of her hand, but in vain. Elizabeth was determined;
nor did Sir William at all shake her purpose by his attempt at
persuasion.
“You excel so much in the dance, Miss Eliza, that it is cruel
to deny me the happiness of seeing you; and though this
gentleman dislikes the amusement in general, he can have no
objection, I am sure, to oblige us for one half-hour.”
(PER06.01) [] “Mr. Darcy is all politeness,” said Elizabeth,
smiling.
“He is, indeed; but, considering the inducement, my dear
Miss Eliza, we cannot wonder at his complaisance—for who
would object to such a partner?”

Ch.18 When the dancing recommenced, however, and Darcy
approached to claim her hand, Charlotte could not help
cautioning her in a whisper, not to be a simpleton, and allow
her fancy for Wickham to make her appear unpleasant in the
eyes of a man ten times his consequence. Elizabeth made no
answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to
which she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to
Mr. Darcy, and reading in her neighbours' looks, their equal
amazement in beholding it. They stood for some time without
speaking a word; and she began to imagine that their silence
was to last through the two dances, and at first was resolved
not to break it; till suddenly fancying that it would be the
greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk, she
made some slight observation on the dance. He replied, and
was again silent. After a pause of some minutes, she
addressed him a second time with:—(DIR18.01) [] “It is
your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. (DIR18.02) []
I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some sort of
remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples.”
He smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to
say should be said.
(EXP18.01) [] “Very well. (ASR18.01) [] That reply will
do for the present. (ASR18.02) [] Perhaps by and by I may
observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public
ones. (DIR18.03) [] But now we may be silent.”
(DIR18.04) [] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are
dancing?”
(ASR18.03) [] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you
know. (ASR18.04) [] It would look odd to be entirely
silent for half an hour together; (PER18.01) [] and yet for
the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged,
as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as
possible.”
(DIR18.05) [] “Are you consulting your own feelings in
the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying
mine?”
(PER18.02) []” Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have
always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds.
(PER18.03) [] We are each of an unsocial, taciturn
disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say
something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed
down to posterity with all the eclat of a proverb.”
(PER18.04) [] “This is no very striking resemblance of
your own character, I am sure,” said he. (PER18.05) []
“How near it may be to mine, I cannot pretend to say.
(PER18.06) [] You think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly.”
(PER18.07) [] “I must not decide on my own
performance.”
He made no answer, and they were again silent till they had
gone down the dance, when he asked her if she and her
sisters did not very often walk to Meryton. She answered in
the affirmative, and, unable to resist the temptation, added,
“When you met us there the other day, we had just been
forming a new acquaintance.”

“Mr. Darcy, I am a very selfish creature; and, for the sake of
giving relief to my own feelings, care not how much I may be
wounding yours. I can no longer help thanking you for your
unexampled kindness to my poor sister. Ever since I have
known it, I have been most anxious to acknowledge to you
how gratefully I feel it. Were it known to the rest of my
family, I should not have merely my own gratitude to
express.”
“I am sorry, exceedingly sorry,” replied Darcy, in a tone of
surprise and emotion, “that you have ever been informed of
what may, in a mistaken light, have given you uneasiness. I
did not think Mrs. Gardiner was so little to be trusted.”
“You must not blame my aunt. Lydia's thoughtlessness first
betrayed to me that you had been concerned in the matter;
and, of course, I could not rest till I knew the particulars. Let
me thank you again and again, in the name of all my family,
for that generous compassion which induced you to take so
much trouble, and bear so many mortifications, for the sake
of discovering them.”
(PER58.01) [] “If you will thank me,” he replied, “let it be
for yourself alone.
That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to
the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to
deny.
But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I
believe I thought only of you.”
Elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word. After a
short pause, her companion added, “You are too generous to
trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last
April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are
unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this
subject for ever.”
