Pride and Prejudice

“Neglect! I am sure you neglect nothing that can add

to the beauties of that noble place. Charles, when you

build your house, I wish it may be half as delightful as

Pemberley.”

“I wish it may.”

“But I would really advise you to make your

purchase in that neighbourhood, and take Pemberley

for a kind of model. There is not a finer county in

England than Derbyshire.”

“With all my heart; I will buy Pemberley itself if

Darcy will sell it.”

“I am talking of possibilities, Charles.”

“Upon my word, Caroline, I should think it more

possible to get Pemberley by purchase than by imita-

tion.”

Elizabeth was so much caught with what passed, as

to leave her very little attention for her book; and soon

laying it wholly aside, she drew near the card-table, and

stationed herself between Mr. Bingley and his eldest

sister, to observe the game.

“Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?” said

Miss Bingley; “will she be as tall as I am?”
