Q

Bingley: Come Darcy, I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance.

A

You know how I detest it unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. Your sister is engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.

Q

Bingley: I would not be so fastidious as you are for a Kingdom! I never met so many pleasant girls in my life and several uncommonly pretty.

Q

Bingley: Indeed the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one of her sisters….just there, whom I dare say is very agreeable. Allow me to ask my partner to introduce you.

A

She is tolerable, but that is insufficient to tempt me. Pray return to Miss Bennett, you are wasting your time with me

I expected as much, A lady’s imagination is very rapid, it jumps from admiration to love to matrimony, in a moment.

Q

Elizabeth: Such as vanity and pride?

A

Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pide- where there is a real superiority of mind- pride will always be under good regulation. I have faults enough but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding and perhaps resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.

Q

There is, I believe, in every disposition, a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which even the best education cannot overcome.

Q

Eliza: You shall hear then…and more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a partner

A

I had not at that time the honour of knowing any lady in the assembly and I am ill qualified to recommend myself to strangers

41
Q

Eliza: Shall we ask why a man of sense and education who has lived in the world is ill qualified to recommend himself to strangers

A

I have not the talent of conversing easily with those I have never seen before

42
Q

Eliza: he has been governed by this worst kind of pride, and partly from the wish of retaining Mr Bingley for his sister

A

Miss Bennett

43
Q

Eliza: Mr Darcy

A

May I….would it be suitable if I….enquired of your health

44
Q

Eliza: My health?

A

As I’ve not…encountered you these past days I thought I come to….enquire of your health

45
Q

Eliza: My health Mr darcy meets all the usual standars

A

Ah

46
Q

Eliza: Yes

A

Ah (pause ) In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you…I see I dismay you….I am slow, even dilatory. I should have declared myself at an earlier date. But there were, of course, the general sense of your social inferiority, of it being a degradation of the line. I could not forget my responsibility to an estate, a way of life, a pride of place which might, given your circumstances disinclude you and thus the very ardency I described took place against my will and reason, or rather in opposition to my character and inclination, but the very strength of my attachment has made it impossible for me to conquer my feelings and I can only express the hope that these feelings will now be rewarded by your acceptance of my hand…There…I have spoken ill but mean well Miss Bennett

47
Q

Eliza: In such cases…the feelings which you tell me have long prevented the acknowledgement of your regard can have little difficulty in overcoming it after this explanation

A

And this is all the reply which I am to have the honor of expecting?! I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus rejected

48
Q

Eliza: I might as well enquire…can you deny that you have done that?

A

I have no wish to deny that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself

49
Q

Eliza: Quite clearly said…your character was unfolded in the recital which I received many months ago from Mr. Wickham

A

You take an eager interest in that gentleman’s concerns

50
Q

Eliza: Knowing his misfortunes who would not feel an interest in him?

A

His misfortunes!

51
Q

Eliza: And of your infliction…and yet you treat the mention of his misfortunes with contempt

A

And this is your opinion of me! I thank you for explaining it so fully. These bitter accusations might have been suppressed had I, with greater policy, flattered you into the belief of my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence.

52
Q

Eliza: The mode of your declaration has not affected me…You are Mr Darcy the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry

A

You have said quite enough, madam. I perfectly comprehend your feelings. Forgive me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept my best wishes for your health and happiness (Exit SL)

53
Q

Eliza: Next morning I awoke…my meditations thus proceeded to my favorite path

A

I have been wandering in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you. Will you do me the honor of reading this letter?

54
Q

Eliza: Before I observed my friends behavior and perceived his most surprising partiality…

A

You sister I also watched

55
Q

Eliza: And though her manners were open…she received his attents but remained to my eye indifferent

A

My objections to the marriage proceeded also from other cause of repugnance. Your family’s want of propriety betrayed by your mothers manners, your younger sisters forwardness, and even forgive me your father’s misplaced with. All confirmed my sense…

56
Q

Eliza: that I must preserve my friend from a most unhappy connection

A

In London I found his sister’s uneasiness

57
Q

Miss Bingley: Has been greatly excited

A

And we were alike sensible that no time should be lost in detaching him.

58
Q

Eliza: Bingley has great natural modesty w/ a stronger dependence on my judgement that on his own

A

To convince him he had deceived himself was not difficult, on this subject I have nothing more to say and no apology to offer. With respect to that other more weighty accusation of having injured Mr. Wickham, that I will attempt to refute

59
Q

Wickham: In short his behavior to me has been scandalous

A

My father was not only fond of this young man’s society but hoped the church would be his profession

60
Q

Eliza: The business was soon settled. He resigned all claim to assistance in the church…

A

And accepted in return 3,000 pounds. Three years later he applied to me again having found the law an unprofitable study and being then again resolved to be ordained.

61
Q

Eliza: Indeed on both sides this is only an assertion yet every line confuses my belief in Darcys infamy

A

You will hardly blame me for refusing his entreaty and his resentment was so great…

62
Q

Wickham: You betray your fathers wishes and your own honor sir

A

…that every appearance of acquantince was dropped

63
Q

Eliza; She was then but 15 and persuaded to believe herself in love and consented to an elopement

A

Fortunately, regarding me as almost a second father, she confessed her plans

64
Q

Eliza: You may imagine how I felt and how I acted

A

I wrote to Mr Wickham in undisguised heat and he left London immediately and alone…his chief object had unquestionably been my sister’s fortune of 30,000 pounds and the hope, I think of revenging himself on me

65
Q

Eliza: In this light his attentions to Miss King seem now the consequence of views solely and hatefully mercenary

A

(Moves behind Liz) This madam, is a faithful narrative of every event. If your abhorrence of me should make my assertions valueless, I direct you to Colonel Fitzwilliam, also guardian of Georgiana, who is fully aware of every particular above…I will only add, God bless you

66
Q

Mrs Gardiner: Indeed the landscape, the lawn, the river all in harmony with the buildings, I am quite swept away

A

Oh.

67
Q

Oh Ah (pause)

A

Miss Bennett, this is a…most welcome surprise

68
Q

Liz: Indeed most welcome

A

May I enquire of your well being and that of your family

69
Q

Liz: In all regards, well

A

I am very pleased to hear so. Would you do me the honor of introducing me to your friends

70
Q

Liz: My uncle and aunt

A

That, of course, only adds to the honor

71
Q

Mr Gardiner: Wonderful stream Darcy, capital angling I suspect

A

Quite satisfactory, Mr Gardiner, should you continue in the neighborhood please do me the pleasure of fishing here as often as you choose. I can easily provide the requisite tackle and direct you to those parts of the stream where there is usually most sport

72
Q

Mr Gardiner: Eh?

A

MOST SPORT

73
Q

Mrs Gardiner: please exempt our forwardness…you would certainly not be here until tomorrow

A

I have preceded my party to arrange their comfort. Among them are some who will claim acquaintance with you, Miss Bennett…Mr Bingley and his sister, and one who more particularly wishes to be known to you. Will you allow me, or do I ask too much, to introduce my sister to your acquaintance during your stay at Lambton

74
Q

Liz: I am delighted by this compliment

A

Ah. (Yes great pleasure exit SL)

75
Q

Liz: Oh where is my aunt? I must find her this moment on business that cannot be delayed

A

Good god, what is the matter?

76
Q

Liz: I have not an instant to lose

A

I will send a servant, you cannot go yourself. A glass of wine, shall I get you one?

77
Q

Liz: No I no

A

You are very ill

78
Q

Liz: No thank you…You know him too well to doubt the rest…she is lost forever

A

I am grieved…shocked, but is it absolutely certain?

79
Q

Liz: Certain…how are they even to be discovered?

A

If there is anything

80
Q

Liz: Most kind but…

A

Would to heaven that anything could be said or done on my part that might offer consolation to such distress

81
Q

Miss Bingley: Dear me, your company seems to have fled the grounds in disarray

A

Your pardon?

82
Q

Miss Bingley: How very ill Eliza…She is grown so brown and coarse

A

It is, perhaps, no miraculous consequence of traveling in the summer

83
Q

Miss Bingley: I particularly recollect your saying one night…I believe you thought her rather pretty at one time

A

Yes, but that was only when I first knew her, for now I consider her the handsomest woman of my acquaintance

84
Q

Mr. Bennett: You have been quite silent, Mr. Darcy, I hope you are well

A

Quite well…very well

85
Q

Mrs. Bennett: Mr Darcy is here Elizabeth, and most expressly to see you

A

Miss Bennett

86
Q

Liz: Mr Darcy I am a very selfish creature…were it known to the rest of my family I should not have merely my own gratitude to express

A

I am sorry, exceedingly sorry that you have been informed of what may, in a mistaken light, have given you uneasiness. I did not think Mrs. Gardiner was so little to be trusted.

87
Q

Liz: You must not blame my aunt…let me thank you again and again

A

If you will thank me, let it be for yourself alone. Your family owes me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you…so indeed well…you are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me forever

88
Q

Liz: Mr Darcy…my feelings have gone so material a change since the period you allude to as to as to make me receive with gratitude your…your

A

Present assurances

89
Q

Liz: Exactly

A

I am…

90
Q

Liz: You are?

A

I am…yes, very much so…I believe my aunt has been to see you

91
Q

Liz: She has

A

My feelings, you may know, are exactly contrariwise. I hope you spoke to her quite frankly?

92
Q

Liz: Yes, you know enough…I could have no scruple in abusing you to all your relations

A

What did you say of me that I did not deserve? My previous behavior to you has merited the severest reproof. It was unpardonable.

93
Q

Liz: The conduct of neither, if strictly examined, will be irreproachable; but since then we have both, I hope, improved in civility

A

As a child I was taught what was right but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles but left to follow them only in pride and conceit. By you I was properly humbles. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased

94
Q

Liz: I am almost afraid of asking you what you thought of me when we met at Pemberley. You blamed me for coming?

A

I felt only the pleasure of surprise. My object then was to show you by every civility in my power that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell, But I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you

95
Q

Liz: other wishes?

A

Other wishes, yes

96
Q

Liz: And Mr. Bingley?

A

On the evening before my going to London, I told him all that had occured to make my former interference in his affairs absurd and impertinent. I told him moreover that I believed myself mistaken in supposing your sister was indifferent to him; and as I could easily perceive that his attachment to her was unabated, I felt, no doubt of their happiness together.

97
Q

Liz: Did you speak from your own observation, or merely from my information last spring?

A

I had narrowly observed her, and I was convinced of her affection.

98
Q

Liz: And what do you narrowly observe in me, Mr. Darcy?

A

That something, I am not sure what, is expected (Liz laughs) what have I done?

99
Q

Liz: I sincerely beg your pardon. You have not yet learned to be laughed at, but it was rather too early to begin

A

Ah. Pray excuse me, I must speak to your father.
