: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?
:21:03
It is a small kind of accomplishment,
I suppose.
:21:07
Will you not join us, Mr Darcy?
:21:09
You can only have two motives,
and I would interfere with either.
:21:13
What can he mean?
:21:15
The surest way to disappoint him
would be to ask him nothing.
:21:18
Do tell us, Mr Darcy.
:21:23
Either you are
in each other's confidence
:21:25
and you have
secret affairs to discuss,
:21:27
or you are conscious
that your figures
:21:30
appear to the greatest
advantage by walking.
:21:34
If the first,
I should get in your way.
:21:37
If the second,
I can admire you much better from here.
:21:40
How shall we punish him
for such a speech?
:21:42
- We could laugh at him.
- No. Mr Darcy is not to be teased.
:21:46
Are you too proud, Mr Darcy? And would
you consider pride a fault or a virtue?
:21:51
- I couldn't say.
- We're trying to find a fault in you.
:21:54
I find it hard to forgive
the follies and vices of others,
:21:57
or their offences against me.
:21:59
My good opinion,
once lost, is lost forever.
