　　CHAPTER FIVE

　　A Young Lady Ashamed

　　Mr. Darcy noted her words and asked, "Why are you asking me these questions?"

　　"So that I can know what type of character you have," replied Elizabeth. "I am trying to figure you out."

　　"And do you find my character agreeable?"

　　She shook her head. "I do not agree with your character or manners at all."

　　"I hope, Miss Bennet," he replied seriously, "that you not try to understand my character at this present moment. I am afraid that you will come to a misunderstanding. "

　　She said no more. They finished the dance and left one another in silence. Miss Bingley came towards her.

　　"So, Miss Elizabeth, your sister tells me that you are quite interested in George Wickham! I'm sure he has told you that he was the son of old Wickham, the late Mr. Darcy's personal servant. Before you find him too delightful, let me advise you not to believe what he says. He often tells many lies. As to Mr. Darcy doing wrong to him, it is not true. He was always kind to him, though Wickham treated him badly many times. Now, I do not know everything that happened, but I know that Mr. Darcy isn't the one to blame. The fact that Wickham is again in the countryside is very rude but this is expected, if you consider his family background. "
