JANE AUSTEN

When the clock struck three, Elizabeth felt that she

must go, and very unwillingly said so. Miss Bingley

offered her the carriage, and she only wanted a little

pressing to accept it, when Jane testified such concern

in parting with her, that Miss Bingley was obliged

to convert the offer of the chaise to an invitation to

remain at Netherfield for the present. Elizabeth most

thankfully consented, and a servant was dispatched to

Longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and

bring back a supply of clothes.
