“This is not to be borne.Miss Bennet,I insist on being satisfied. Has he,has my nephew,made you an offer of marriage?”
“Your ladyship has declared it to be impossible.”

“Yes, and I had heard it before. But what is that to me? If there is no other objection to my marrying your nephew,I shall certainly not be kept from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to marry Miss de Bourgh.You both did as much as you could in planning the marriage.Its completion depended on others.If Mr.Darcy is neither by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin,why is not he to make another choice?And if I am t... -->>
