However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it." Mr. Bennet made no answer. "Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it." This was invitation enough. "Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he knew Mr. Darcy in town, and had seen him lately at his sister's, and that Mr. Darcy recommended him to rent it, and Mr. Darcy is the owner of the Pemberley estate next door to it, --" "How soon, my dear, will you read to us Mr. Collins's letter?" interrupted Mr. Bennet. -- "I can ill bear such a length of conversation. Tell me at once what Mr. Collins says, and who is to have it." -- "La! Mr. Bennet, how can you be so tiresome? You must know that I am dying to hear all about it. Mrs. Long says that this young man is very agreeable, and was much admired at a ball in town last winter, and that his manner of writing is very pretty. And she says he has a sister, who is very beautiful. He came down, you know, only yesterday to look at the place -- and was so taken with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris instantly. They are to have dinner at Longbourn to-morrow, by particular desire of the young lady herself." -- "You are very obliging," replied Mr. Bennet; "but I dare say Mr. Collins will excuse us when he knows all. At any rate, we must make our court to Lady Catherine de Bourgh, when she comes here." -- "But, my dear, you forget that I am not able to walk three miles. As it is, I can do no more than look out of the window at present -- except on Sundays, when I am dragged to church -- by Mr. Collins. The distance is nothing to him, for he has a horse, and can ride to it every day. My only anxiety is about Elizabeth Bennet -- she is the only one of you that is tolerably pretty, and I am determined to get her married before I die." -- "It is more than I engage for, I assure you," said Mr. Bennet; "I would not promise that she should not be an old maid. Her disposition is not conciliatory, and she has not the power of pleasing. You must make allowances for her being a single woman of this age. She has neither brother nor sister, and though she is not handsome, she has a pleasing manner. I tell you, my dear, she has some faults, which one must feel, before one can forgive." -- "But, my dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "if other people have not such faults it will not much signify to her. Must not she be made to understand that, though the Collinses are not a clever family, they are respectable, and that her marrying Mr. Collins would be a credit to her family?" -- "Upon my word," said her husband, "I despair of making her any answer
