Volume I

Chapter 1

Opening: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.—p3

“Lizzy has sth more of quickness than her sisters.” –Mr. Bennet p5

Chapter 3

The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man; the ladies decalred he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discoved to be proud, to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend. –p10-11

Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was the proudest,most disagreeable man in the world, and every body hoped that he would never come there again. Amongest the most violent againt him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour, was sharpened into particular resentment, by his having slighted one of her daughters. –p11

“there is not another woman in the room, whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with”—Darcy, p11

“she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humour at present to give consequende to young ladies who are slighted by other men.”—Darcy, p12

Chapter 6

“If I were determined to get a rich husband, or any husbnd, I dare say I should adopt it.”---Elizabeth  p 24

“This is not quite enough to make her understand his character.” ---Elizabeth  p 25

“Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance....and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.”—Charlotte  p 25

Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley’s attention to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend(Darcy).—p25

He began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing with her himself, attended to her conversation with others. –p26

“I have not the least intention of dancing.---I entreat you no to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner.” ---Elizabeth  p 29

Chapter 10

How frequently Mr. Darcy’s eyes were fixed on her. She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great man; and yet that he should look at her because he disliked her, was still more strange. She could only imagine however at last, that she drew his notice because there was a sth about her more wrong and reprehensible, according to his ideas of right, than in any other person present....she liked him too little to care for his approbation. –p56

“I heard you before, but I could not immediately determin what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say ‘Yes,’ that you might have the pleasure of despising (鄙视) my taste; but I always delight in ovethrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of their premeditated contempt. I have therefore made up my mind to tell you, that I do not want to dance a reel at all-and now despise me if you dare.”—Elizabeth p 56

Chapter 11

“And your defect(缺点) is propensity（倾向） to hate every body”—(Elizabeth)

“And yours, ” he (Darcy) replied with a sime, “is wilfully to misunderstand them.”—p63

Chapter 12

She(Eliza) attracted him more than he(darcy) liked. –p66

Chapter 16

“I have never liked him.”—Elizabeth  p 90

Chapter 17

Elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with Mr. Wickham. –p97

Chapter 18

She had dressed with more than usual care, and prepared in the highest spirits for the conquest of all that remained unsubdued of his(wickham) heart, trusting that it was not more than might be won in the course of the evening. –100

She wass resolved against any sort of conversation with him (darcy).—p101

Without knowing what she(Elibabeth) did, she accepted him (darcy).—p101

Volume II

Chapter 3

 “But he(wickham) is, beyond all comparison, the most agreable man I ever saw.”—Elizabeth p163

Chapter 4

She (Elizabeth) parted from him (wickham) convinced, that whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable and pleasing.—p172

Chapter 8

“You mean to grighten me, Mr. Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me? But I will not be alarmed though your sister does play so well. There is s stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage alway rises with every attempt to intimidate me. ”—elizabeth   p 195

Chapter 10

He (D) seemed to expect that whenever she came into Kent again she would be staying there too. His words(darcy) seemed to imply it. Could he have Colonel Fitzeilliam in his thoughts? –E thought. P204

“If Darcy does not put it (leave)off agian.”- Fitzeilliam p205

Chapter 11

Elizabeth noticed every sentence conveying the idea of uneasiness, with an attention which it had hardly recieved on the first perusal. Mr. Darcy ‘s shameful boast of what misery he had been able to inflict, gave her a keener sense of her sister’s sufferings. –p210

While setting this point, she was suddenly roused by the sound of the door bell, and her sprits were a little fluttered by the idea of its being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in the evening, and might now come to enquire particularly after her. But this idea was soon banished, and her spirits were very differently affected, when, to her utter amazement, she saw Mr. Darcy walk into the room.—p210-211

Elizabeth’s astonishment was beyond expression. –p211

As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt of a favourable answer. He spoke of apprehension and anxiety, but his countenance expressed real security. –p212

“do you think that any consideration would timpt me to accetp the man, who has been the means of ruining,”—Elibabeth p 213

He (d) even looked at her with a smile of affected incrudulity. –p 213

 “You could not have made me the offer of your hand in my possible way that would have tempted me to accept it.”—Eli p215

“From the very beginning, from the first moment I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to from that ground-work of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immoveable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”—E  p 215

Chapter 12 Darcy’s letter

She was proceeding directly to her favourite walk, when the recollection of Mr. Darcy’s sometimes coming there stopped her, and instead of entering the park, she turned up the lane.—p217

After walking two or three times along that part of the lane, she was tempted, by the pleasantness of the morning, to stop at the gates and look into the park.... She was on the point of continuing her walk, when she caught a glimpse of a gentleman within the sort of grove(小树丛) which edged the park;... and fearful of its being Mr. Darcy, she was directly retreating.... She had turned away, but on hearing herself called,though in a voice which proved it to be Mr. Darcy, she moved again towards the gate. –p217

With no expectation of pleasure, but with the strongest curiosity, Elizabeth opened the letter.—p218

Darcy’s letter:

It was not till the evening of the dance at Netherfield that I had any apprehension of his feeling a serious attachment.—I had often seen him in love before...without any symptom of peculiare regard, and I remained convinced from the evening’s scrutiny, that though she received his attention with pleasure, she did not invite him them by any participation of sentiment.—If you have not been mistaken here, I must have been in an error...her (Jane)heart was not likely to be easily touched...conceal from him(Bingley) your sister’s (Jane) being in town.... her brother (Bingley) is even yet ignorant of it. p219- 221

Chapter13

“This must be false! This cannot be! This must be the grossest falsehood!”—p227

She would not regard it, that she would never look in it again. –p227

In half a minute the letter was unfolded again...and commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence.—p 227

She was now struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger, and wondered it had escaped her before. .. She remembered that he (wickham) had boasted of having no fear of seeing Mr. Darcy—that Mr. Darcy might leave the country, but that he should stand his ground; yet he had vaoided the Netherfield ball the very next week.—p229

She had been blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd. --E’s reflection p230

“How despicably have I acted! ” she (E)cried.—“I, who have prided myself on my discernment(洞察力)!—I, who have valued myself on my abilities! Who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratifies my vanity, in useless or blameable distrust.—How humiliating is this discovry!—Yet, how just a humiliation! – Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly.—Pleased with the preference of one, and offened by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquantance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment, I never knew myself.”—E p 230

Chapter 14

Elizabeth could not see Lady Catherine without recollecting, that had she chosen it, she might by this time have been presnted to her, as her future niece; not could she think, without a smile, of what her ladyship’s indignation would have been. –p 233

But she could not approve him; now could she for a moment repent(后悔) her refusal, or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again. –p 236

Chapter 19

Elizabeth was distressed. She felt that she had no business at Pemberly, and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it.---p267

Volume III

Chapter 1

When at length they turned in at the lodge, her(E) spirits were in a high flutter... Elizabeth was delighted. ...and at that moment she felt, that to be mistress of Pemberley might be sth! –p271

“And of this place, ” thought she(E), “I might have been mistress! With these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted! Instead of viewing them as a stranger, I might have rejoiced in them as my own, and welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt.”—p272

“I have never had a cross word from him (D)in my life, and I have known him ever since he was four years old.”—Mrs. Reynolds p275

That he was not a good tempered man, had been her (E)firmest opinion. –p275

“If I was to go through the world, I could not meet with a better.”—Mrs. Reynolds p275

Elizabeth almost stared at her. –“Can this be Mr. Darcy!” thought she.—p275

Chapter 8

She wanted to hear of him.... She was convinced that she could have been happy with him; when it was no longer likely they should meet. –p344

She began now to comprehend that he was (d) exactly the man, who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. –p 344

Chapter 10

Her heart did whisper, that he had done it for her. –p360

For herself she was humble; but she was proud of him. ... She read over her aunt’s commendation of him again and aagain. It was hardly enough; but it pleased her.—p 361

Chapter 11

And sat down agian to her(e) work, with an eagerness it did not often command. –p371

And to him (d) she(e) had hardly courage to speak. –371

Elizabeth dared not lift up her eyes. –p372

She could hardly keep her seat. –p372

Chapter 12

“He could be still amiable, still pleasing, to my uncle and aunt, when he was in town; and why not to me? If he fears me, why come hither? If he no longer cares for me, why silent? Teazing, teazing, man! I will think no more about him.”—E  p 375

Anxious and uneasy, the period which passed in the drawing room, before the gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull to a degree, that almost made her (e) uncivil. She looked forward to their entrance, as the point on which all her chance of pleasure for the evening must depend.

“If he does not come to me, then,” said she, “I shall give him up for ever.”

The gentlemen came; and she thought he looked as if he would have answered her hopes; but, alas! The ladies had crowded round the table, where Miss Bennet was making tea, and Elizabeth pouring out the coffee, in so close a confederacy, that there was not a single vacancy near her, which would admit of a chair. And on the genglemen’s approaching, one of the girls moved closer to her than ever, and said, in a whisper,

“The men shan’t come and part us, I am determined. We want none of  them; do we?”

Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with her eyes, envied every one to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience enough to help anybody to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for being so silly!—p 377-378

His(d) bringing back his coffe cup himself; and she (e) seized the opportunity of saying,

“Is your sister at Pemberley still?”...

She (e) could think of nothing more to say; but if he wished to converse with her, he might have better success. He stood by her, however, for some minutes, in silence; and, at last, on the younglady’s whispering to Elizabeth again, he walked away.

When the tea-things were removed,and the card talbes placed, the ladies all rose, and Elizabeth was then hoping to be soon joined by him, when all her views were overthrown, by seeing him fall in a victim to her mother’s rapacity for whist players,...She now lost every expectation of pleasure. –p 378

Chapter 15

It suddenly struck her that it might be from lady Catherin;....conviction of its being a letter from the nephe,--p 401

“This letter is from Mr. Collins.” –Mr. Bennet  -p 401

Chapter 16

“My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”—D  p 406

Her sentiments had undergone so material a change, since the period to which he alleded, as to make her receive with gratitude and pleasure, his present assurances.—p 406

They walked on, without knowing in what direction.—p407

Chapter 17

E and Jane:

At night she (e) opened her heart to Jane. Though suspicion was very far from Miss Bennet’s general habits, she was absolutely incredulous her.

“You are joking, Lizzy. This cannot be!...No, no, you shall not deceive me. I know it to be impossible.”—p 413

Jane looked at her doubtingly. “Oh, Lizzy! It cannot be. I know how much you dislike him.”

....

Miss Bennet still looked all amazement.

...

“My dear, dear Lizzy, I would- I do congratulate you- but are you certain?... –are you quite certain that you can be happy with him?”

...

“And do you really love him quite well enough? Oh, Lizzy! Do any thing rather than marry without affection. Are you quite sure that you feel what you ought to do?”—p 414

E and Mr. Bennet:

“Lizzy, ” said he, “what are you doing? Are you out of your sense, to be accepting this man? Have not you always hated him?”

...

“He is rich, to be sure, and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than Jane. But will they make you happy?”

...

“We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be noting if you really liked him.”

“I do, I do like him,” she replied, with tears in her eyes, “I love him. ... He is perfectly amiable. You do not know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in such terms.”

...

“But let me advise you to think better of it. I know your dispostition, Lizzy. I know that you could be neither happy nor respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband; unless you looked up to him as a superior. Your lively talents would place you in the greatest danger in an unequal marriage.”

Elizabeth, still more affected, was earnest and solemn in her reply; and at length, by repeated assurances that Mr. Darcy was really the object of her choice, by explaining the gradual change which her estimation of him had undergone, relating her absolute certainty that his affection was not the work of a day, but had stood the test of many months suspense, and enumerating with energy all his good qualities, she did conquer her father’s incredulity, and reconcile him to the match. —p 417-418

Mrs. Bennet:

“Is it really true?”—p419

Chapter 18

“I never spoke to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not.”—E   p421

I am the happiest creature in the world.... I laugh.(E to her aunt’s letter)-p424

Elizabeth did all she could, to shield him from the frequent notice of either, and was ever anxious to keep him to herself, and to choose of her family with whom he might converse without mortification; --p 426
