"You may, in fact, carry a very favourable report of us into

Hertfordshire, my dear cousin. I flatter myself, at least, that

you will be able to do so. Lady Catherine's great attentions to

Mrs. Collins you have been a daily witness of; and altogether I

trust it does not appear that your friend has drawn an

unfortunate--but on this point it will be as well to be silent.

Only let me assure you, my dear Miss Elizabeth, that I can from

my heart most cordially wish you equal felicity in marriage. My

dear Charlotte and I have but one mind and one way of thinking.

There is in everything a most remarkable resemblance of character

and ideas between us. We seem to have been designed for each

other."
