How grievous then was the thought that, of a situation so desirable in every respect, so replete with advantage, so promising for happiness, Jane had been deprived, by the folly and indecorum of her own family!
… and Miss de Bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her hand to both.
You see on what a footing we are. You see how continually we are engaged there.

‘Mr. Darcy’s letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. ... they would be going there forever.’
Письмо мистера Дарси она уже почти знала наизусть. Она изучала каждое предложение, и ее чувства к его автору порой были совершенно иными. Когда она вспоминала стиль его обращения, она все еще была полна негодования; но когда она думала о том, как несправедливо она осуждала и упрекала его, ее гнев обращался против нее самой, и его разочарованные чувства становились предметом сострадания. Его привязанность возбуждала благодарность, его общий характер вызывал уважение, но она не могла одобрить его; она ни на минуту не могла раскаяться в своем отказе и не испытывала ни малейшего желания снова увидеть его. В ее собственном прошлом поведении был постоянный источник досады и сожаления, а в несчастных недостатках ее семьи-предмет еще более тяжкого огорчения. Они были безнадежны в своем выздоровлении. Ее отец, довольный тем, что смеется над ними,никогда не пытался сдержать дикое головокружение своих младших дочерей, а ее мать, с ее манерами, столь далекими от правильных, была совершенно нечувствительна к злу. Елизавета часто объединялась с Джейн в попытке обуздать неосторожность Кэтрин и Лидии; но пока они поддерживались снисходительностью матери, разве можно было надеяться на улучшение положения? Кэтрин, слабодушная, раздражительная и полностью подчинявшаяся Лидии, всегда была оскорблена их советами, а Лидия, своевольная и беспечная, почти не слушала их. Они были невежественны, праздны и тщеславны. Пока в Меритоне есть офицер, они будут флиртовать с ним, и пока Меритон находится в нескольких минутах ходьбы от Лонгборна, они будут ходить туда вечно.

‘Elizabeth’s mind was too full for conversation ... than the furniture of Rosings.’
Мысли Элизабет были слишком заняты разговором, но она видела и восхищалась каждым замечательным местом и каждым его уголком. Они постепенно поднялись на полмили вверх, а затем оказались на вершине довольно высокого холма, где лес кончался, и взгляд их сразу же привлек Пемберли-Хаус, расположенный на противоположной стороне долины, в которую дорога круто сворачивала. Это было большое, красивое каменное здание, стоящее на возвышенности и опирающееся на гряду высоких лесистых холмов; река текла живым ручьем, а перед домом это был уже широкий поток без искусственных сооружений. Его берега не были ни строгими, ни украшенными. Элизабет была в восторге. Она никогда не видела места, для которого природа сделала бы так много благ, или где естественная красота была бы так мало испорчена неловким вкусом. Все они были близки в своем восхищении, и в этот момент она почувствовала, что быть хозяйкой Пемберли-это что-то!
