1 Elizabeth took leave of the whole party in the liveliest of spirits.
2 I have been a disappointed man, and my spirits will not bear solitude.
3 The prospect of such delights was very cheering, and they parted in mutual good spirits.
4 They could describe an entertainment with accuracy, relate an anecdote with humour, and laugh at their acquaintance with spirit.
5 They returned, therefore, in good spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants.
6 This letter gave Elizabeth some pain; but her spirits returned as she considered that Jane would no longer be duped, by the sister at least.

9 She was therefore obliged to seek another branch of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit and some exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy.
10 Elizabeth, though expecting no less, thanked him with tears of gratitude; and all three being actuated by one spirit, everything relating to their journey was speedily settled.

15 But there was much to be talked of in marrying her; and the good-natured wishes for her well-doing which had proceeded before from all the spiteful old ladies in Meryton lost but a little of their spirit in this change of circumstances, because with such an husband her misery was considered certain.
