E.K. forward slash Black Friday.

Chapter 10.

The day passed much as the day before had done.

Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who continued,

though slowly, to mend. And in the evening, Elizabeth joined their party in the drawing room.

The Lou table, however, did not appear. Mr. Darcy was writing, and Miss Bingley, seated near him,

was watching the progress of his letter, and repeatedly calling off

his attention by messages to his sister. Mr. Hurst and Mr. Bingley were at a game, and Mrs. Hurst was

observing their game. Elizabeth took up some needlework and was sufficiently amused in

attending to what passed between Darcy and his companion. The perpetual commendations of the lady either on his handwriting,

or on the evenness of his lines, or on the length of his letter,

with the perfect unconcern with which her praises were received,

formed a curious dialogue, and was exactly in unison with her opinion of each.

How delighted Miss Darcy will be to receive such a letter?

He made no answer.

You write uncommonly fast.

You are mistaken, I write rather slowly.

How many letters you must have occasion to write in the course of the year?

Letters of business, too.
