1.While_settling_this_point,_Elisabeth_was_suddenly_roused_by_the_sound_of_the_door_bell,_and_her_spirits_were_a_little_fluttered_by_the_idea_of_its_being_Colonel_Fitzwilliam_himself,_who_had_once_before_called_late_in_the_evening,_and_might_now_come_to_enquire_particularly_after_her._But_this_idea_was_soon_banished,_and_her_spirits_were_very_differently_affected,_when,_to_her_utter_amazement,_she_saw_Mr._Darcy_walk_into_the_room._In_a_hurried_manner_he_immediately_began_an_enquiry_after_her_health,_imputing_his_visit_to_a_wish_of_hearing_that_she_was_better._She_answered_him_with_cold_civility._He_sat_down_for_a_few_moments,_and_then_getting_up,_walked_about_the_room._Elizabeth_was_surprised,_but_said_not_a_word._After_a_silence_of_several_minutes,_he_came_towards_her_in_an_agitated_manner,_and_thus_began,_
2.“In_vain_have_I_struggled?_It_will_not_do._My_feelings_will_not_be_repressed._You_must_allow_me_to_tell_you_how_ardently_I_admire_and_love_you.”_
3.Elizabeth’s_astonishment_was_beyond_expression._She_stared,_colored,_doubted,_and_was_silent._This_he_considered_sufficient_encouragement,_and_the_avowal_of_all_that_he_felt_and_had_long_felt_for_her_immediately_followed._He_spoke_well,_but_there_were_feelings_besides_those_of_the_heart_to_be_detailed,_and_he_was_not_more_eloquent_on_the_subject_of_tenderness_than_of_pride._His_sense_of_her_inferiority,_of_its_being_a_degradation,_of_the_family_obstacles_which_judgment_had_always_opposed_to_inclination,_were_dwelt_on_with_a_warmth_which_seemed_due_to_the_consequence_he_was_wounding,_but_was_very_unlikely_to_recommend_his_suit._
