Cards (11)

  • She had no conversation, no style, no beauty
  • She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent walker
  • She is really a very sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it
  • "But it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any consideration in the world," replied Darcy
  • "Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."
  • "I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth; "I am not a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."
  • They all paint tables, cover screens, and net purses.
  • "Then," observed Elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great deal in your idea of an accomplished woman."
  • A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word
  • "All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."
  • I never saw such capacity, and taste, and application, and elegance, as you describe united.
