But I would really advise you to make your purchase in that neighbourhood, and take Pemberley for a kind of model. There is not a finer county in England than Derbyshire." ¡¡¡¡"With all my heart; I will buy Pemberley itself if Darcy will sell it." ¡¡¡¡"I am talking of possibilities, Charles." ¡¡¡¡"Upon my word, Caroline, I should think it more possible to get Pemberley by purchase than by imitation." ¡¡¡¡Elizabeth was so much caught by what passed, as to leave her very little attention for her book; and soon laying it wholly aside, she drew near the card-table, and stationed herself between Mr. Bingley and his eldest sister to observe the game. ¡¡¡¡"Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?" said Miss Bingley; "will she be as tall as I am?" ¡¡¡¡"I think she will. She is now about Miss Elizabeth Bennet's height, or rather taller." ¡¡¡¡"How I long to see her again! I never met with anybody who delighted me so much. Such a countenance, such manners, and so extremely accomplished for her age! Her performance on the piano-forte is exquisite." ¡¡¡¡"It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "how young ladies can have patience to be so very accomplished as they all are." ¡¡¡¡"All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?" ¡¡¡¡"Yes all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover skreens, and net purses. I scarcely know any one who cannot do all this, and I am sure I never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being informed that she was very accomplished."
