In this quiet way, the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away. Easter was approaching, and the week preceding it was to bring an addition to the family at Rosings, which in so small a circle must be important. Elizabeth had heard, soon after her arrival, that Mr. Darcy was expected there in the course of a few weeks, and though there were not many of her acquaintance whom she did not prefer, his coming would furnish one comparatively new to look at in their Rosings parties, and she might be amused in seeing how hopeless Miss Bingley's designs on him were, by his behaviour to his cousin, for whom he was evidently destined by Lady Catherine; who talked of his coming with the greatest satisfaction, spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration, and seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by Miss Lucas and herself.
她开头两个星期的作客生涯,就这样安静地过去了。复活节快到了,节前一星期,罗新斯府上要添一个客人。在这么一个小圈子里,这当然是件大事。伊丽莎白一到那儿,便听说达西先生最近几个星期里就要到来,虽然她觉得在她所认识的人里面,差不多没有一个像达西这样讨厌,不过他来了却能给罗新斯的宴会上添一个面貌比较新鲜的人,同时可以从他对他表妹的态度看出彬格莱小姐在他身上的打算要完全落空,那更有趣极了。咖苔琳夫人显然已经把他安排给他的表妹,一谈到他要来,就得意非凡,对他赞美备至,可是一听说卢卡斯小姐和伊丽莎白早就跟他认识,又时常见面,就几乎好象生起气来。
