Elizabeth could not see Lady Catherihout recolleg that, had she chosen it, she might by this time have beeed to her as her future nieor could she think,without a smile, of what herdyship's indignation would have been.“What would she have said?how would she have behaved?”were questions with which she amused herself.
Their first subject was the diminution of the Rosings party.“I assure you,I feel it exceedingly,”said Lady Catherine;“I believe no one feels the loss of friends so much as I do.But I am particrly attached to these young men, and know them to be so much attached to me!They were excessively sorry to go! But so they always are.The dear el rallied his spirits tolerably till just atst;but Darcy seemed to feel it most acutely,more,I think,thanst year.His attat to Rosings certainly increases.”
Mr.Collins had apliment,and an allusion to throw in here, which were kindly smiled on by the mother and daughter.
