Mr. Collins explained Elizabeth why he wanted to marry her and said that he hoped that it will not sink him in Elizabeth’s esteem.

6. to comply with – выполнить, соответствовать

Charlotte hardly had time to answer, before they were joined by Kitty, who came to tell the same news; and no sooner had they entered the breakfast-room, where Mrs.

7. to bring to reason - образумить

8. headstrong – упрямый, своевольный

When Elizabeth refused to marry Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet said him that Lizzy

Mrs. Bennet said her husband that they are all in an uproar and that he must come and make Lizzy marry Mr. Collins.

10. by turns - поочередно

Not yet, however, in spite of her disappointment in her husband, did Mrs. Bennet give up the point. She talked to Elizabeth again and again; coaxed and threatened her by turns.

11. in solitude – в одиночестве

Mr. Collins, meanwhile, was meditating in solitude on what had passed. He thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motives his cousin could refuse him; and though his pride was hurt, he suffered in no other way. His regard for her was quite imaginary; and the possibility of her deserving her mother’s reproach prevented his feeling any regret.

12. to have done with smb./smth. – покончить с кем-то/с чем-то

14. to stand one's ground – настоять, стоять на своем

15. projected conversation – подготовленный заранее разговор

When Mr. Collins entered the room Elizabeth passed quietly out of the room, Jane and Kitty followed, but Lydia stood her ground, determined to hear all she could. And Charlotte, detained first by the civility of Mr. Collins, whose inquiries after herself and all her family were very minute, and then by a little curiosity, satisfied

herself with walking to the window and pretending not to hear. In a doleful voice Mrs. Bennet began the projected conversation.

16. liable to error – подвержен ошибкам

Mr. Collins said Mrs. Bennet that his conduct might be objectionable in having accepted his dismission from her daughter’s lips instead of her own. But all people are liable to error.

17. self-imposed - добровольный

18. double advantage – двойное преимущество

Wickham and another ofcer walked back with girls to Longbourn, and

19. a good deal – очень, весьма

Jane got the letter from Caroline Bingley; and what it contained had surprised her a good deal.

20. on an intimate footing – в интимной обстановке

Caroline Bingley wrote in her letter, that they decided to go to London with Mr. Bingley and they were going to stay there for a long time.

Caroline said that in London Mr. Bingley would have frequent opportunity of seeing Georgiana on the most intimate footing.

21. to put one on one’s guard - предупредить

22. simpleton - простушка

Elizabeth said Jane that Miss Bingley was not a simpleton.

23. eligible match – подходящий жених

Mr. Collins’s present circumstances made it a most eligible match for daughter of Sir William and Lady Lucas, to whom they could give little fortune.

24. to burst forth – вырваться наружу, вспыхнуть

Miss Lucas resolved to give Elizabeth the information about her engagement with Mr. Collins herself, and therefore charged Mr. Collins, when he returned to Longbourn to dinner, to drop no hint of what had passed before any of the family. A promise of secrecy was of course very dutifully given, but it could not be kept without difficulty; for the curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade, and he

was at the same time exercising great self-denial, for he was longing to publish his prosperous love.
