“Mr.Darcy was punctual his return,and as Lydia formed you, attended the weddg. He ded with us the next day, and was to leave town aga on Wednesday or Thursday.Will you be very angry with me,my dear Lizzy,if I take this opportunity of sayg (what I was never bold enough to say before) how much I like him. His behaviour to us has, every respect, been as pleasg as when we were Derbyshire. His understandg and opions all please me; he wants nothg but a little more liveless,and that,if he marry prudently,his wife may teach him. I thought him very sly;—he hardly ever mentioned your name. But slyness seems the fashion.
“Pray forgive me if I have been very presumg,or at least do not punish me so far as to exclude me from P. I shall never be quite happy till I have been all round the park.A low phaeton, with a nice little pair of ponies,would be the very thg.
“But I must write no more.The children have been wantg me this half hour.
“Yours,very scerely,
“M.GARDINER.”
