He then recollected her embarrassmenta few days before, on his reading Mr. Collins's letter; and after laughing at her some time, allowed her at last to go -- saying, as she quitted the room, "If any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at leisure."
于是他记起了前几天给伊丽莎白读柯林斯先生那封信的时候,她是多么局促不安;他又取笑了她一阵,最后才让她走了;她正要走出房门,他又说:“如果还有什么年轻人来向曼丽和吉蒂求婚,带他们进来好了,我正闲着呢。
