3 She was not sorry, however, to have the recital of them interrupted by the lady from whom they sprang.
4 A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.
5 In vain did she entreat him to stand up with somebody else, and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room.
6 Elizabeth found that nothing was beneath this great lady's attention, which could furnish her with an occasion of dictating to others.

9 But the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man, whom they had never seen before, of most gentlemanlike appearance, walking with another officer on the other side of the way.

17 In as short a time as Mr. Collins's long speeches would allow, everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both; and as they entered the house he earnestly entreated her to name the day that was to make him the happiest of men; and though such a solicitation must be waived for the present, the lady felt no inclination to trifle with his happiness.
