Elizabeth
Yes, there certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those two young men. One has all the goodness and the other all the appearance of it.
Jane
I never thought Mr. Darcy so deficient in the appearance of it as you did, and he certainly could hardly have had the friends he has if he did not possess some good qualities. [Shyly.] Lizzy, have you heard that Mr. Bingley is back in Netherfield?
Elizabeth
[Astonished.] Oh, Jane, no. When did he come? Have you seen him?
Jane
No; I hardly expect to see him.
Elizabeth
[Brightly.] Yes, you will, if he has returned. [Suddenly clapping her hands.] Oh, I understand. [Kissing her.] My darling Jane, you are going to be very happy!
Jane
Lizzy dear – don't, don't. That is all over now, and besides I don't want to be happy unless you can be, too.
Elizabeth
Oh, forty Mr. Bingleys wouldn't make me happy. Till I have your disposition, I never can have happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself. Perhaps if I have very good luck I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.
Harris
[Entering.] Mr. Bennet has returned, Madam, and is looking for you.
Jane
Papa returned!
Elizabeth
Where is he, Harris? [Looking off.] There he comes! Papa!
[They run to meet Mr. Bennet, and, bringing him in, seat him in a garden chair, one on either side of him.]
Elizabeth
Papa, tell us all about it quickly – quickly.
Jane
Are they really married, papa?
Mr. Bennet
Yes, that misfortune is well settled on them. They are married fast enough.
Elizabeth
And where are they? When will they be here?
Mr. Bennet
I should say they would be here directly. I didn't care to travel with them, but they are not far behind – only just far enough to keep out of the dust of my post chaise.
Elizabeth
Dear papa – how you must have suffered!
Mr. Bennet
Say nothing of that – who should suffer but myself? It has been my own doing, and I ought to feel it.
Elizabeth
You must not be too severe upon yourself.
Mr. Bennet
You may well warn me against such an evil. No, Lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much I have been to blame. The impression will pass away soon enough.
Elizabeth
But, papa, how did you persuade them to marry?
Mr. Bennet
I didn't persuade them; I haven't the means. It is all your uncle's doing. He has managed to buy Wickham for us.
Jane
Oh, dear good uncle!
Mr. Bennet
[Looks at Jane quizzically.] But there are two things that I want very much to know – one is how much money your uncle has laid down to bring it about, and the other, how I am ever to pay him.
Jane
But my uncle did not do it all?
Elizabeth
