Chapter VI.

1. The ladies of Longbourn soon waited on those of Netherfield.

2. It was generally evident whenever they met, that he DID admire her and to HER it was equally evident that Jane was yielding to the preference which she had begun to entertain for him from the first, and was in a way to be very much in love;

3. If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in the dark.

4. Jane should therefore make the most of every half-hour in which she can command his attention.

5. Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend.

6. Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.

7. He began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing with her himself, attended to her conversation with others.

8. "There is a fine old saying, which everybody here is of course familiar with: 'Keep your breath to cool your porridge'; and I shall keep mine to swell my song."

9. "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."

10."Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of dancing.’

11."Mr. Darcy is all politeness," said Elizabeth, smiling.

12."I can guess the subject of your reverie."

13."Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."

14."Miss Elizabeth Bennet."
