盡管彬格萊小姐怎么樣說俏皮話，怎么樣拿她的“美麗的眼睛”開玩笑，達西卻始終不肯受她們的慫恿，夾在她們一起來編派她的不是。
"I am perfectly ready, I assure you, to keep my engagement; and when your sister is recovered, you shall, if you please, name the very day of the ball. But you would not wish to be dancing when she is ill. "
Lydia declared herself satisfied. "Oh! yes--it would be much better to wait till Jane was well, and by that time most likely Captain Carter would be at Meryton again. And when you have given YOUR ball, " she added, "I shall insist on their giving one also. I shall tell Colonel Forster it will be quite a shame if he does not. "
Mrs. Bennet and her daughters then departed, and Elizabeth returned instantly to Jane, leaving her own and her relations' behaviour to the remarks of the two ladies and Mr. Darcy; the latter of whom, however, could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of HER, in spite of all Miss Bingley's witticisms on FINE EYES.
