How many letters you must have occasion to write, Mr. Darcy, letters of business too, how odious I should think them.

It is fortunate then that they fall to my lot instead of yours.

Do tell your sister that I long to see her. I've already told her once by your desire.

I do dote on her, I was quite in raptures at her beautiful little design for a table.

Perhaps she will give me leave to defer your raptures till I write again, at present I have not room enough to do it justice. Well, I think it's amazing you young ladies have the patience to be so accomplished.

What do you mean, Charles? You all paint tables and play the piano and embroider cushions.

I never heard of a young lady but people say she is accomplished.

The word is indeed applied too liberally, I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen women in all my acquaintance that are truly accomplished.

Nor I, to be sure, goodness, you must comprehend a great deal in your idea.

Absolutely, she must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages to deserve the word, and something in her air and manner of walking.

And of course she must improve her mind by extensive reading.

I'm no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women, I rather wonder now at your knowing any.

I never saw such a woman, she would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.

Miss Elizabeth, let us take a turn about the room.

It is refreshing, is it not, after sitting so long in one attitude? And it is a small kind of accomplishment, I suppose.

You can have only two motives, Caroline, and I would interfere with either. What can he mean? A surest way of disappointing him will be to ask him nothing about it.

Well, do tell us, Mr. Darcy. Either you are in each other's confidence and you have secret affairs to discuss.

Or you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage by walking.

How shall we punish him for such a speech?

You're too proud, Mr. Darcy, and would you consider pride a fault or a virtue?

Because we're doing our best to find a fault in you.

Maybe it's that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.

Dear, I cannot tease you about that. What a shame for I dearly love to laugh.
