“What,is he comg home,and without poor Lydia?”she cried.“Sure he will not leave London before he has found them.Who is to fight Wickham,and make him marry her,if he comes away?”
As Mrs.Garder began to wish to be at home,it was settled that she and the children should go to London,at the same time that Mr.Bennet came from it.The coach,therefore,took them the first stage of their journey, and brought its master back to Longbourn.
Mrs.Garder went away all the perplexity about Elizabeth and her Derbyshire friend that had attended her from that part of the world.His name had never been voluntarily mentioned before them by her niece;and the kd of half-expectation which Mrs. Garder had formed, of their beg followed by a letter from him,had ended nothg.Elizabeth had received none sce her return that could come from Pemberley.
The present unhappy state of the family rendered any other excuse for the lowness of her spirits unnecessary; nothg, therefore,could be fairly conjectured from that,though Elizabeth, who was by this time tolerably well acquated with her own feelgs, was perfectly aware that, had she known nothg of Darcy,she could have borne the dread of Lydia''s famy somewhat better.It would have spared her,she thought,one sleepless night out of two.
When Mr. Bennet arrived, he had all the appearance of his usual philosophic composure.He said as little as he had ever been the habit of sayg;made no mention of the busess that had taken him away, and it was some time before his daughters had courage to speak of it.
It was not till the afternoon,when he joed them at tea,that Elizabeth ventured to troduce the subject; and then, on her briefly expressg her sorrow for what he must have endured,he replied,“Say nothg of that.Who should suffer but myself? It has been my own dog,and I ought to feel it.”
“You must not be too severe upon yourself,”replied Elizabeth.“You may well warn me agast such an evil.Human nature is so prone to fall to it!No,Lizzy,let me once my life feel how much I have been to blame.I am not afraid of beg overpowered by the impression.It will pass away soon enough.”
“Do you suppose them to be London?”
“Yes;where else can they be so well concealed?”
