III. PREPARE A LITERARY TRANSLATION OF THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT:

‘Elizabeth’s mind was too full for conversation ... than the furniture of Rosings.’

Мысли Элизабет были слишком заняты разговором, но она видела и восхищалась каждым замечательным местом и каждым его уголком. Они постепенно поднялись на полмили вверх, а затем оказались на вершине довольно высокого холма, где лес кончался, и взгляд их сразу же привлек Пемберли-Хаус, расположенный на противоположной стороне долины, в которую дорога круто сворачивала. Это было большое, красивое каменное здание, стоящее на возвышенности и опирающееся на гряду высоких лесистых холмов; река текла живым ручьем, а перед домом это был уже широкий поток без искусственных сооружений. Его берега не были ни строгими, ни украшенными. Элизабет была в восторге. Она никогда не видела места, для которого природа сделала бы так много благ, или где естественная красота была бы так мало испорчена неловким вкусом. Все они были близки в своем восхищении, и в этот момент она почувствовала, что быть хозяйкой Пемберли-это что-то!

Они спустились с холма, пересекли мост и подъехали к двери; и пока она осматривала дом, к ней вернулось ее предчувствие встречи с его владельцем. Она боялась, как бы горничная не ошиблась. Обратившись с просьбой осмотреть дом, их пригласили в холл, и Элизабет, пока они ждали домоправительницу, имела возможность поразмышлять о том, где она находится.

Пришла домоправительница-почтенная пожилая женщина, гораздо менее утонченная и более вежливая, чем она предполагала. Они последовали за ней в столовую-гостиную. Это была большая, красивая комната, прекрасно обставленная. Элизабет, немного осмотрев ее, подошла к окну, чтобы полюбоваться открывшимся видом. Увенчанный лесом холм, с которого они спускались, становясь все круче и круче на расстоянии, был прекрасен. Все вокруг радовало глаз; и она с восторгом смотрела на всю эту картину: на реку, на деревья, разбросанные по ее берегам, на извилистую долину, насколько хватало взгляда. Когда они проходили в другие комнаты, этот ландшафт занимал разные положения, но из каждого окна можно было видеть его красоту. Комнаты были высокие и красивые, и мебель соответствовала богатству их владельца; но Элизабет с восхищением увидела, что она не была ни безвкусной, ни ужасно пышной, с меньшим блеском и большей изящностью, чем мебель Розингса

IV. AGREE OR DISAGREE. COMMENT ON THE FOLLOWING:

Mr. Bennet was ignorant to Elizabeth’s feelings. True.

Eliza advise not to let Lydia accept Mrs. Forster’s invitation. But he said that they shall have no peace at Longbourn if Lydia does not go to Brighton. And he let her go.

‘A scheme of which every part promises delight can never be successful.

.Upon the whole, therefore, Eliza found, what has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had been looking with impatient desire did not, in taking place, bring all the satisfaction she had promised herself.

Kitty envied Lydia for leaving Longbourn. True.

Lydia returned with Mrs. Forster to Meryton, from whence they were to set out early the next morning. The separation between her and her family was rather noisy than pathetic. Kitty was the only one who shed tears; but she did weep from vexation and envy.

Elizabeth regretted that she wouldn’t be a mistress of Pemberley House. True.

Elizabeth was delightedThey were all of them warm in their admiration; and at that moment she felt that to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!

There wasn’t a girl who was good enough for Mr. Darcy. True.

Mr.Gardiner said if he would marry, Mrs.Reynolds might see more of him. So, she answered that she did not know who was good enough for him.

Elizabeth was disappointed that their journey hadn’t been delayed a day. True.

Elizabeth was excessively disappointed; she had set her heart on seeing the Lakes, and still thought there might have been time enough

Mrs. Reynolds’s changed Elizabeth’s feelings to Mr. Darcy. True. Elizabeth listened, wondered, doubted, and was impatient for more. Mrs. Reynolds could interest her on no other point.

After her unexpected meeting with Mr. Darcy Elizabeth felt shame and vexation. True.

Mr. and Mrs.Gardiner joined her, and expressed admiration of his figure; but Elizabeth heard not a word, and wholly engrossed by her own feelings, followed them in silence. She was overpowered by shame and vexation. Her coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the world! How strange it must appear to Darcy! It might seem as if she had purposely thrown herself in his way again!

It was unbearable for Mr. Darcy to have a talk with such people as Mr. and Mrs. Gardener. True.

He took them for people of fashion. The introduction, however, was immediately made; and as she named their relationship to herself, she stole a sly look at him, to see how he bore it, and was not without the expectation of his decamping as fast as he could from such disgraceful companions. That he was surprised by the connection was evident; he sustained it, however, with fortitude, and so far from going away, turned his back with them, and entered into conversation with Mr. Gardiner.

Miss Darcy was eager to be introduced to Elizabeth. True

There is also one other person in the party," he continued after a pause, "who more particularly wishes to be known to you. Eliza immediately felt that whatever desire Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted with her must be the work of her brother.
