傲慢与偏见 Pride and Prejudice 14

　　The wedding day was set for Thursday, and on Wednesday Miss Lucks came for her goodbye visit. When she stood up to go, Elizabeth accompanied her out of the room.

　　"Promise me you will come and see me at Hunsford." Charlotte asked. "My father and sister are coming in March. Will you think about joining them?"

　　Elizabeth could not refuse, though she did not see much pleasure in the visit.

　　The wedding took place as planned. Then the couple set off for Kent from the church door.

　　Elizabeth soon received a letter from her friend. Charlotte was living comfortably. She liked the furniture, the house and neighborhood very much, and Lady Catherine's behavior was most friendly.

　　Jane had also written to say that she had arrived safely in London. She had also written to Miss Caroline Bingley to tell her that she was there.

　　Four weeks passed, and Jane wrote that she still had seen nothing of Mr. Bingley or his sister. After two more weeks, Miss Bingley finally appeared. But it was clear that she did not even want to make the visit.
