Sayfa 307 / 817

"My aunt," she continued, "is going to-morrow into that part of

the town, and I shall take the opportunity of calling in

Grosvenor Street."

She wrote again when the visit was paid, and she had seen Miss

Bingley. "I did not think Caroline in spirits," were her words,

"but she was very glad to see me, and reproached me for giving

her no notice of my coming to London. I was right, therefore; my

last letter had never reached her. I inquired after their

brother, of course. He was well, but so much engaged with Mr.

Darcy that they scarcely ever saw him. I found that Miss Darcy

was expected to dinner: I wish I could see her. My visit was not

long, as Caroline and Mrs. Hurst were going out. I dare say I

shall soon see them here."

Elizabeth shook her head over this letter. It convinced her that

accident only could discover to Mr. Bingley her sister's being in

town.
