2 As yet, she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its reasonableness.
3 There, shut into her own room, as soon as their visitor left them, she could think without interruption of all that she had heard.
4 With this answer Elizabeth was forced to be content; but her own opinion continued the same, and she left him disappointed and sorry.
5 Mr. Wickham's happiness and her own were perforce delayed a little longer, and Mr. Collins's proposal accepted with as good a grace as she could.
6 A deeper shade of hauteur overspread his features, but he said not a word, and Elizabeth, though blaming herself for her own weakness, could not go on.
