Caroline Bingley: But do tell us, Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy: Either you are in each other's confidence and have secret affairs to discuss, or you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage past walking. If the starting time, I should get in your way. If the second, I tin admire you much better from here.

Mr Darcy: I'm perfectly happy to oblige. Please suggest me on what would yous like nigh to hear?

Elizabeth Bennet: That reply will do for nowadays. Possibly past and by I may observe that private assurance are much pleasanter than public ones. For now, we may remain silent.

Mr Darcy: Do you talk as a rule while dancing?

Elizabeth Bennet: No. No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn. Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you lot remember?

Mr Darcy: Tell me, do you and your sisters very often walk to Meryton?

Elizabeth Bennet: Yes, we often walk to Meryton. Information technology'due south a slap-up opportunity to meet new people. When you met united states of america, nosotros'd merely had the pleasure of forming a new associate.

Mr Darcy: Mr Wickham'south blessed with such happy manners, he's sure of making friends. Whether he's capable of retaining them is less and so.

Elizabeth Bennet: He'south been so unfortunate as to lose your friendship. And I daresay that's an irreversible upshot?

Mr. Darcy: I practice not deny it.

Elizabeth Bennet: How could you lot do it?

Mr. Darcy: Bingley, too, is modest and was persuaded she didn't feel strongly for him--

Elizabeth Bennet: Because you suggested information technology!

Mr. Darcy: I did it for his own good!
