158

Jane’s disappointment had in fact been the work of her nearest
relations, and reflected how materially the credit of both must be
hurt by such impropriety of conduct, she felt depressed beyond
anything she had ever known [before].

After wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every
variety of thought-re-considering events, determining
probabilities, and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a
change so sudden and so important, fatigue, and a recollection of
her long absence, made her at length return home; and she entered
the house with the wish of appearing cheerful as usual, and the
resolution of repressing such reflections as must make her unfit for
conversation.

She was immediately told that the two gentlemen from Rosings
had each called during her absence; Mr. Darcy, only for a few
minutes to take leave,- but that Colonel Fitzwilliam had been
sitting with them at least an hour, hoping for her return, and
almost resolving to walk after her till she could be found. Elizabeth
could but just affect concern in missing him; she really rejoiced at
it. Colonel Fitzwilliam was no longer an object, she could think
only of her letter.
