Caroline: You write uncommonly fast, Mr. Darcy.
　　
　　Darcy: You're mistaken. I write rather slowly.
　　
　　Caroline: How many letters you must have occasion to write, Mr. Darcy. Letters of business, too. How odious I should think them.
　　
　　Darcy: It is fortunate, then, theyfall to my lotinstead of yours.
　　
　　Caroline: Do tell your sister that I long to see her.
　　
　　Darcy: I've already told her once, by your desire.
　　
　　Caroline: I dodote onher. I was quite in raptures at her beautiful little design for a table.
　　
　　Darcy: Perhaps you will give me leave to defer your raptures till I write again. At present I have not room enough to do them justice.
　　
　　Bingley: Well I think it's amazing that you young ladies have the patience to be soaccomplished.
　　
　　Caroline: What do you mean, Charles?
　　
　　Bingley: You all paint tables and play the piano and embroider cushions. I never heard of a young lady, but people say she's accomplished.
　　
　　Darcy: The word is indeed applied too liberally. I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen women in all my acquaintance that are truly accomplished.
　　
　　
　　Caroline: Nor I, to be sure.
　　
　　Elizabeth: Goodness, you must comprehend a great deal in the idea.
　　
　　Darcy: I do.
　　
　　Caroline: Absolutely. She must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing and the modern languages to deserve the word. And something in her air and manner of walking.
　　
　　
　　
　　Darcy: And, of course she must improve her mind by extensive reading.
