To the civil inquiries which then poured in and amongst which she had the pleasure of distinguishing the much superior solicitude of Mr. Bingley s she could not make a very favourable answer. Jane was by no means better. The sisters on hearing this repeated three or four times how much they were grieved how shocking it was to have a bad cold and how excessively they disliked being ill themselves and then thought no more of the matter and their indifference towards Jane when not immediately before them restored Elizabeth to the enjoyment of all her former dislike. Their brother indeed was the only one of the party whom she could regard with any complacency. His anxiety for Jane was evident and his attentions to herself most pleasing and they prevented her feeling herself so much an intruder as she believed she was considered by the others. She had very little notice from any but him. Miss Bingley was engrossed by Mr. Darcy her sister scarcely less so and as for Mr. Hurst by whom Elizabeth sat he was an indolent man who lived only to eat drink and play at cards who when he found her to prefer a plain dish to a ragout had nothing to say to her. When dinner was over she returned directly to Jane and Miss Bingley began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were pronounced to be very bad indeed a mixture of pride and impertinence she had no conversation no style no beauty. Mrs. Hurst thought the same and added She has nothing in short to recommend her but being an excellent walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really looked almost wild.

Very nonsensical to come at all Why must SHE be scampering about the country because her sister had a cold Her hair so untidy so blowsy Yes and her petticoat I hope you saw her petticoat six
