She had a sister married to a Mr. Phillips, who had been a clerk to their father and

succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in London in a respectable

The village of Longbourn was only one mile from Meryton; a most convenient distance

for the young ladies, who were usually tempted thither three or four times a week,

to pay their duty to their aunt and to a milliner's shop just over the way.

The two youngest of the family, Catherine and Lydia, were particularly frequent in

these attentions; their minds were more vacant than their sisters', and when

nothing better offered, a walk to Meryton

was necessary to amuse their morning hours and furnish conversation for the evening;

and however bare of news the country in general might be, they always contrived to

winter, and Meryton was the headquarters.

Catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect

indifference, continued to express her admiration of Captain Carter, and her hope

of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the next morning to London.

"I am astonished, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "that you should be so ready to

"This is the only point, I flatter myself, on which we do not agree.

I had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but I must so far

differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly foolish."

"My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of their

"Mamma," cried Lydia, "my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain Carter do not

go so often to Miss Watson's as they did when they first came; she sees them now

very often standing in Clarke's library."

Mrs. Bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with a note for

Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and the servant waited for an answer.

Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was eagerly calling out, while her

haste, my love." "It is from Miss Bingley," said Jane, and

"If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me, we shall be in

"Oh! but the gentlemen will have Mr. Bingley's chaise to go to Meryton, and the

Hursts have no horses to theirs." "I had much rather go in the coach."

"But, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, I am sure.

They are wanted in the farm, Mr. Bennet, are they not?"

"They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them."
