The two gentlemen left Rosgs the next morng, and Mr. Colls havg been waitg near the lodges, to make them his partg obeisance, was able to brg home the pleasg telligence, of their appearg very good health, and as tolerable spirits as could be expected,after the melancholy scene so lately gone through at Rosgs.To Rosgs he then hastened, to console Lady Cathere and her daughter; and on his return brought back, with great satisfaction, a message from her ladyship, importg that she felt herself so dull as to make her very desirous of havg them all to de with her.

Elizabeth could not see Lady Cathere without recollectg that, had she chosen it, she might by this time have been presented to her as her future niece;nor could she thk,without a smile, of what her ladyship''s dignation would have been.“What would she have said?how would she have behaved?”were questions with which she amused herself.

Their first subject was the dimution of the Rosgs party.“I assure you,I feel it exceedgly,”said Lady Cathere;“I believe no one feels the loss of friends so much as I do.But I am particularly attached to these young men, and know them to be so much attached to me!They were excessively sorry to go! But so they always are.The dear Colonel rallied his spirits tolerably till just at last;but Darcy seemed to feel it most acutely,more,I thk,than last year.His attachment to Rosgs certaly creases.”

Mr.Colls had a compliment,and an allusion to throw here, which were kdly smiled on by the mother and daughter.

Lady Cathere observed, after dner, that Miss Bennet seemed out of spirits, and immediately accountg for it by herself, by supposg that she did not like to go home aga so soon,she added:

“But if that is the case,you must write to your mother and beg that you may stay a little longer.Mrs.Colls will be very glad of your company,I am sure.”
