Описывая ей все величие Леди Екатерины и ее особняка, время от времени отступая от восхваления своей скромной обители и улучшений, которые там получились, он с удовольствием был занят, пока джентльмены не присоединились к ним; и он нашел в миссис Филлипс очень внимательного слушателя, чье мнение о нем последовательно увеличилось по мере того как она слушала, и которая решила передать все это своим соседям, как только она сможет.

Наконец, все закончилось. Джентльмены подошли, и когда мистер Уикхем вошел в комнату, Элизабет почувствовала, что она не видела его раньше и не думала о нем с наименьшей степенью необоснованного восхищения. Офицеры-графства были в целом весьма заслуживающими доверия джентльменским набором, и лучшие из них были из нынешней партии; но мистер Уикхем был настолько далеко от них всех во внешности, лице, виде и походке, насколько они превосходили нужного дядю Филипса с широким лицом, дышащего портвейном, который входил за ними в комнату.
