Chapter 3 Chapter two

Mr. Bennet, though he had always declared in front of his wife that he did not want to visit Mr. Bingley, had in fact always intended to visit him, and had been among the first to do so.The wife did not know the truth until that evening, after he had paid a visit.The news came out in such a way that when he saw his second daughter adorning her hat, he said to her suddenly: I hope Mr. Bingley will like your hat, Liz. Her mother said angrily: Since we are not going to see Mr. Bingley, of course we have no way of knowing what he likes. But don't you forget, mother, said Elizabeth: we shall meet him at the ball someday, and did not Mrs. Lange promise to introduce him to us?

I don't believe Mrs. Lange would do that.She herself has two nieces.She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I despise her. I despise her, too, said Mr. Bennet: I am glad to hear you don't expect her to do you any favors. Mrs. Bennet ignored him, but could not restrain her anger, and began to scold her daughter. Stop coughing so much, Kitty, for God's sake!Please forgive my nerves a little bit.You're making my nerves burst. Kitty doesn't know what to do, her father said, and she doesn't know when to cough. I didn't mean to cough and play.replied Kitty angrily.

What's your date for the dance, Liz? Counting from tomorrow, it will be another two weeks. Well, that's it, cried her mother, and Mrs. Lange won't be back until the day before the ball; then she won't have time to introduce him to you, and she doesn't know him yet. Then, good lady, you may have the advantage of your friend, and in turn introduce her to this gentleman. Impossible, my good lord, impossible, I don't know him myself; how can you mock like that? I really admire your thoughtfulness.Knowing each other for two weeks is of course nothing.After two weeks with a man, it is impossible to know what he is like.But if we don't try, others will.After all, Mrs. Long and her niece would not miss this opportunity.So if you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself, and she'll think it's our kindness to her anyway.

The daughters stared at their father.Mrs. Bennet just said offhandedly: No sense! Why are you making such a fuss!he shouted.Do you think it's meaningless to do some introductions for others?I don't quite agree with your statement.What do you say, Mary?I know that you are a girl with unique insights, you read great books, and you have to take notes. Manli wanted to say some insightful words but didn't know how to say them. Then Mr. Bennet went on to say: Let Mary think about it before she makes an opinion, and let us talk about Mr. Bingley again. I hate to talk about Mr. Bingley, cried his wife.

It's a pity that you should say such things to me; why didn't you say so sooner?If I had heard you say that this morning, I certainly would not have called on him.What a coincidence.Now that we have visited and visited, we will inevitably make this friend in the future. As he had expected, the ladies were all astonished at this, and Mrs. Bennet more than any other; but after such a jubilant uproar, she announced publicly that it was Something she had expected. What a good-hearted man you are, my good lord!I knew you would convince me eventually.Since you love your daughter dearly, of course you would not neglect such a friend.I couldn't be happier!Your joke is really funny, who would have thought that you would visit him this morning, and you haven't said a word yet.

Now, Kitty, you can cough without hesitation, said Mr. Bennet, going out of the room, for he was a little disgusted to see his wife so carried away. As soon as the door was closed, Mrs. Bennet said to her daughters: My children, your father is very kind. I don't know how you can repay his kindness; besides, you should repay me well. .To tell you the truth, we old couple have lived to such an age that we have no interest in making friends every day; but for you, we are willing to do anything.Lydia, my dear, though you are the youngest, Mr. Bingley will probably dance with you when the ball comes.

oh!Lydia said nonchalantly. I don't take it seriously.Although I am the youngest in age, I am the tallest in stature. So they guessed when the nobleman would visit Mr. Bennet back and forth, and planned when to invite him to dinner, and spent the evening chatting in this way.
