Jane.
I never thought Mr. Darcy so deficient in the appearance of it as you did, and he certainly could hardly have had the friends he has if he did not possess some good qualities. [Shyly.] Lizzy, have you heard that Mr. Bingley is back in Netherfield?
Elizabeth.
[Astonished.] Oh, Jane, no. When did he come? Have you seen him?
Jane.
No; I hardly expect to see him.
Elizabeth.
[Brightly.] Yes, you will, if he has returned. [Suddenly clapping her hands.] Oh, I understand. [Kissing her.] My darling Jane, you are going to be very happy!
Jane.
Lizzy dear—don't, don't. That is all over now, and besides I don't want to be happy unless you can be, too.
