“Exceed their come!My dear Mr.Bennet,”cried his wife,“what are you talkg of?Why,he has four or five thousand a year,and very likely more.”Then addressg her daughter,“Oh!my dear,dear Jane,I am so happy!I am sure I shan''t get a wk of sleep all night.I knew how it would be.I always said it must be so,at last.I was sure you could not be so beautiful for nothg!I remember,as soon as ever I saw him,when he first came to Hertfordshire last year,I thought how likely it was that you should come together.Oh!he is the handsomest young man that ever was seen!”

Wickham,Lydia,were all forgotten.Jane was beyond competition her favourite child.At that moment,she cared for no other.Her younger sisters soon began to make terest with her for objects of happess which she might future be able to dispense.

“I suspected as much,”replied Elizabeth.“But how did he account for it?”

“It must have been his sister''s dog.They were certaly no friends to his acquatance with me,which I cannot wonder at, sce he might have chosen so much more advantageously many respects.But when they see,as I trust they will,that their brother is happy with me,they will learn to be contented,and we shall be on good terms aga; though we can never be what we once were to each other.”
