1 Come, Darcy," said he, "I must have you dance.
2 I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time.
3 Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been distinguished by his sisters.
4 But it was not till the evening of the dance at Netherfield that I had any apprehension of his feeling a serious attachment.
5 Tell him I hope he will excuse me when he knows all; and tell him I will dance with him at the next ball we meet, with great pleasure.
6 She danced four dances with him at Meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house, and has since dined with him in company four times.
7 At his own ball he offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and I spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer.
8 Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.
9 He made no answer, and they were again silent till they had gone down the dance, when he asked her if she and her sisters did not very often walk to Meryton.
