:19:18
You write uncommonly fast, Mr Darcy.
:19:21
You're mistaken. I write slowly.
:19:24
How many letters you must have occasion
to write, Mr Darcy.
:19:27
Letters of business.
How odious I should think them.
:19:30
It is fortunate, then,
they fall to me and not you.
:19:33
Tell your sister I long to see her.
:19:36
- I've already told her once.
- I do dote on her.
:19:39
I was quite in raptures
at her beautiful design for a table.
:19:42
Perhaps you will give me leave
to defer your raptures.
:19:46
I have not room enough
to do them justice.
:19:48
You young ladies are so accomplished.
:19:51
- What do you mean?
- You paint tables, play the piano
:19:54
and embroider cushions.
:19:56
I never heard of a lady,
but people say she's accomplished.
:19:59
The word is applied too liberally.
:20:01
I do not know more than
half a dozen women
:20:03
- that are truly accomplished.
- Nor I.
:20:06
Goodness, you must comprehend
a great deal in the idea.
:20:09
- I do.
- Absolutely.
:20:11
She must have a knowledge of music,
singing, drawing, dancing
:20:15
and the modern languages
to deserve the word.
:20:18
And something in her air
and manner of walking.
:20:22
And she must improve her mind
by extensive reading.
:20:25
I'm no longer surprised at your knowing
only six accomplished women.
:20:29
- I wonder at you knowing any.
- Are you so severe on your own sex?
:20:32
I never saw such a woman. She would
certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.
:20:39
Miss Elizabeth,
let us take a turn about the room.
:20:59
It's refreshing, is it not,
after sitting so long in one attitude?
