Q

Mrs Bennet
Indeed! But I cant imagine what he can have to do in London so soon after his arrival in Hertfordshire. I do hope the young man wont be flying about from one place to another instead if settling down at Netherfield as he ought.

A

Elizabeth

Surely mama he has a right to do as he wishes?

Well, who cares whether we meat Mr Bingley or not? I dont for one. I prefer men in uniform - military ones.

Q

Darcy

So you are a student of character miss Bennett?

A

Elizabeth

At times.

20
Q

Darcy

But you must have little opportunity to exercise your gift here?

A

Elizabeth

On the contrary sir.

21
Q

Bennett

It might be well to give them less cars Mrs Bennett.

A

Elizabeth

I’m sorry you were not here earlier, Mr. Bingley. My friend, Charlotte Lucas, was here -

22
Q

Jane

Likes me? Why, Lizzie - whoever do you mean?

A

Elizabeth
I don’t mean Mr. Darcy - for I doubt that he likes anyone - with probable exception of himself. But Mr. Bingley - there’s a gentleman of rare intelligence and perception period from the first moment he laid eyes on you he Could look at no one else. I approve of him for that.

23
Q

Jane

Ah, my darling Lizzie - for all the worldly wisdom that you delight to assume, You have a truly romantic heart.

A

Elizabeth

What? Never have I been so insulted!

24
Q

Jane

Do not dare deny it. And Sunday some men will discover it and he will make you love him desperately - marvelously!

A

Elizabeth

Perhaps, my Sweet. But I haven’t yet met the man who could inspire so much as a flicker of interest.

25
Q

Mrs Bennett

Confession! Mr. Bennett, what have you been up to?

A

Elizabeth

Mama expects the worst - never mind papa I’ll stand by you.

26
Q

Mrs Bennett

And he must have some proper feeling?

A

Elizabeth

Can he be a sensible man, sir?

27
Q

Collins

Ah! The lady Catherine DE bourgh?

A

Elizabeth

Beauty Catherine DE bourgh!

28
Q

Collins

You know her ladyship, cousin?

A

Elizabeth

Only by name, sir. We do not mingle with such exalted society at meryton.

29
Q

Collins
After dinner, my dear cousins, if you care for it - I am considered a very good reader - I will gladly read aloud to you as we gather round the fire.

A

Elizabeth

Oh, that will be in trancing! We have a vast deal of novels.

30
Q

Mrs Bennett

A common to be young again! Mr. Bennett is not a bit romantic! Don’t you think our husbands -

A

Elizabeth

Tippling, mama?You, lady Lucas? Shame on you!

31
Q

Mrs Bennett

There is nothing in this, Lizzie. Your dear papa promised.

A

Elizabeth

Then my dear papa must have been a bit absent minded when he made the mixture. It’s violently potent.

32
Q

Mrs Bennett

Oh, dear lady Lucas, perhaps we’d best not finish our cups.

A

Elizabeth

Your guests are awaiting you, mama.

33
Q

Mrs Bennett

None of my girls can abide him!

A

Elizabeth

Is it not a relief to get away from all those dancing dervishes? Will you have some of this shrub, Charlotte?

34
Q

Charlotte
Mr. Bingley was saying what a good idea it was to have it away from the supper room “where a fellow could have his tribble in peace.” nice young gentleman, isn’t he?

A

Elizabeth
Quite charming! Jane seems to think so to. How lovely the darling looks tonight. Her eyes are like stars. I wonder if her shyness is such an asset, though?

35
Q

Charlotte

You fear bingly might need encouragment?

A

Elizabeth

Few men possesses enough heart to be really in love without it, charl.

36
Q

Charlotte

I am agine bingly will get done needed encouragement this evening. He seems to be enjoying himself immensely.

A

Elizabeth
I hope so. For myself, I call it deadly dull. All I can see is a number of brainless young men and eager young ladies prancing about awkwardly to the strains of tepid music. Do you think this sort of Singh is fun, Charl?

37
Q

Charlotte

It’s a means to an end. Surely, miss Caroline bingley is warning anough against spinsterhood.

A

Elizabeth

Is a warning necessary?

38
Q

Charlotte
Did you notice the fair young lydias triumphant progress in the ballroom - right under the maternal knows to, and your mother just beamed on her.

A

Elizabeth
S. Mama is shocked if a gentleman glimpses our ankles, but to let him understand that he may attain complete possession is perfectly proper.

39
Q

Charlotte

Dear me, my feet ache.

A

Elizabeth

What do you think of that new man, Mr. Wickham? Very attractive, isn’t he?

40
Q

Charlotte

That delectable Collins trod all over me.

A

Elizabeth

But are you trying to evade my question, Charlotte?

41
Q

Charlotte

About Wickham? I noticed Miss. Bingley refused to stand up with him.

A

Elizabeth

I expect she models herself on Darcy and only stands up with members of the peerage.

42
Q

Charlotte
To be quite sincere - I feel there’s something “Wright” about this Wickham. Don’t waste your time, dear. Concentrate on Darcy - rich, aristocratic -

A

Elizabeth

- priggish and snobbish -

43
Q

Charlotte
Oh, we must take what offers, my dear. When do we ever meet the Knights of our dreams? Men were put into the world to teach women the law of compromise.

A

Elizabeth

Don’t be ridiculous, Charlotte. Come, we must speed their few remaining guests.

44
Q

Amanda

Oh, miss Elizabeth!

A

Elizabeth

I’m vastly sorry you Are leaving, Amanda.

45
Q

Young man

We can go out this way. The carriage is near this door.

A

Elizabeth

Oh, we’ll see you out.
