“He is perfectly well behaved，polite，and unassuming，”said her uncle.
They now walked on in silence，each of them deep in thought. Elizabeth was not comfortable；that was impossible；but she was flattered and pleased. His wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of the highest kind.They soon outstripped the others， and when they had reached the carriage， Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were half a quarter of a mile behind.
“I was never more surprised than by his behaviour to us.It was more than civil；it was really attentive；and there was no necessity for such attention. His acquaintance with Elizabeth was very trifling.”
The observations of her uncle and aunt now began；and each of them pronounced him to be infinitely superior to anything they had expected.
The surprise of such an application was great indeed； it was too great for her to know in what manner she acceded to it.She immediately felt that whatever desire Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted with her must be the work of her brother，and， without looking farther， it was satisfactory； it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made him think really ill of her.
