"Were it certain that Lady Catherine would think so," said Mr. Collins very gravely--"but I cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all disapprove of you. And you may be certain when I have the honour of seeing her again, I shall speak in the very highest terms of your modesty, economy, and other amiable qualification."
– Quand bien meme, répondit gravement Mr. Collins, l’avis de lady Catherine… Mais je ne puis imaginer Sa Grâce vous regardant d’un oil défavorable et soyez certaine que, lorsque je la reverrai, je lui vanterai avec chaleur votre modestie, votre esprit d’ordre et vos autres aimables qualités.
