Jane is ill.

The Bennet family are having breakfast at ten o'clock.
At that time comes a woman with a letter from Caroline Bingley, the sister of Mr. Bingley, with an invitation for diner together. Jane is going on horseback to the house of Bingley, and with rain. She gets cold she and have to spend the night at Mr. Bingley's home. Jane has pain sore throat, fever and headache, so Lizzie decides to go to see her sister at Netherfield Park and there sees Mr Darcy. Lizzie thanks you to Bingley by care for her sister.

There are later Mr Darcy, Mr. Bingley and his sister next to Lizzie, Elisabeth, and all them have a conversation about what features should to have a woman.


All the Bennet family gathers at the home of Bingley to search Jane and Lizzie. Mr Darcy to help and to say goodbye to Lizzie, he take her hand, to help her climb to the carriage and she becomes perplexed.



Mr Darcy:
you are mistaken. I write rather slowly.
Caroline: How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of the year! Letters of business too! How odious I should think them!

Mr Darcy: It is fortunate, then, that they fall to my lot instead of to yours.
...

Bingley: It is amazing to me, how young ladies can have patience to be so very accomplished as they all are.

Caroline: All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?

Bingley: Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover screens, and net purses. I scarcely know any one who cannot do all this, and I am sure I never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being informed that she was very accomplished

Mr Darcy: Your list of the common extent of accomplishments," said Darcy, "has too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen. But I am very far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general. I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen, in the whole range of my acquaintance, that are really accomplished.

Lizzie: You must comprehend a great deal in your idea an accomplished woman.

Mr. Darcy: Yes, I do comprehend a great deal in it.

Caroline: no one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with. A woman must have thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tome of her voice, her adress and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved.

Mr Darcy: All this she must possess.

Lizzie: I'm no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplisehd women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any.

Mr. Darcy: Are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all this?

Lizzie: I never saw such a woman. I never saw such capacity, and taste, and application, and elegance, as you describe united.

Bingley: (he smiles)
