The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: by her manner of talking, as if she wanted to persuade herself
that he is really partial to Miss Darcy. I cannot understand it. If
I were not afraid of judging harshly, I should be almost tempted
to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity in all this.
But I will endeavour to banish every painful thought, and think
only of what will make me happy-- your affection, and the
invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt. Let me hear from
you very soon. Miss Bingley said something of his never
returning to Netherfield again, of giving up the house, but not
with any certainty. We had better not mention it. I am
extremely glad that you have such pleasant accounts from our
Pride and Prejudice |
