3 She seldom listened to anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to Mary at all.
4 Could she have seen half as much love in Mr. Darcy for herself, she would have ordered her wedding clothes.
5 And with a bow to Mr. Darcy, he concluded his speech, which had been spoken so loud as to be heard by half the room.
6 It should not be said that the Miss Bennets could not be at home half a day before they were in pursuit of the officers.
7 Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia.
8 She dared not relate the other half of Mr. Darcy's letter, nor explain to her sister how sincerely she had been valued by her friend.

12 The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia depended less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham, he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball was, at any rate, a ball.
