伊丽莎白大声叫道:“噢,我听得非常有趣。不过这事情实在古怪!”
“的确古怪──有趣的也正是这一点。如果他们讲的是另外一个人,那倒还说得过去。最可笑的是,那位贵人完全没有把你放在眼里,你对他又是厌恶透顶!我平常虽然最讨厌写信,可是我无论如何也不愿和柯林斯断绝书信往来。唔,我每次读到他的信,总觉得他比韦翰还要讨我喜欢。我那位女婿虽然又冒失又虚伪,还是及不上他。请问你,丽萃,咖苔琳夫人对这事是怎么说的?她是不是特地赶来表示反对?”
女儿听到父亲问这句话,只是笑了一笑。其实父亲这一问完全没有一点猜疑的意思,因此他问了又问,也没有使她感觉到痛苦。伊丽莎白从来没有象今天这样为难:心里想的是一套,表面上却要装出另一套。她真想哭,可是又不得不强颜为笑。父亲说达西先生没有把她放在眼里,这句话未免太使她伤心。她只有怪她父亲为什么这样糊涂,或者说,她现在心里又添了一重顾虑:这件事也许倒不能怪父亲看见得太少,而应该怪她自己幻想得太多呢。
