:20:02
Letters of business.
How odious I should think them.
:20:04
It is fortunate, then,
they fall to me and not you.
:20:07
Tell your sister I long to see her.
:20:10
- I've already told her once.
- I do dote on her.
:20:13
I was quite in raptures
at her beautiful design for a table.
:20:17
Perhaps you will give me leave
to defer your raptures.
:20:20
I have not room enough
to do them justice.
:20:22
You young ladies are so accomplished.
:20:25
- What do you mean?
- You paint tables, play the piano
:20:29
and embroider cushions.
:20:30
I never heard of a lady,
but people say she's accomplished.
:20:33
The word is applied too liberally.
:20:36
I do not know more than
half a dozen women
:20:38
- that are truly accomplished.
- Nor I.
:20:41
Goodness, you must comprehend
a great deal in the idea.
:20:44
- I do.
- Absolutely.
:20:46
She must have a knowledge of music,
singing, drawing, dancing
:20:49
and the modern languages
to deserve the word.
:20:53
And something in her air
and manner of walking.
:20:57
And she must improve her mind
by extensive reading.
:21:00
I'm no longer surprised at your knowing
only six accomplished women.
:21:03
- I wonder at you knowing any.
- Are you so severe on your own sex?
:21:07
I never saw such a woman. She would
certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.
:21:13
Miss Elizabeth,
let us take a turn about the room.
:21:33
It's refreshing, is it not,
after sitting so long in one attitude?
:21:38
It is a small kind of accomplishment,
I suppose.
:21:41
Will you not join us, Mr Darcy?
:21:43
You can only have two motives,
and I would interfere with either.
:21:47
What can he mean?
:21:49
The surest way to disappoint him
would be to ask him nothing.
:21:52
Do tell us, Mr Darcy.
:21:57
Either you are
in each other's confidence
:21:59
and you have
secret affairs to discuss,
