They shook hands with great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections; and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and himself.
Ils se serrerent la main avec une grande cordialité et, jusqu’au retour de Jane, elle dut écouter tout ce qu’il avait a dire de son bonheur et des perfections de sa fiancée. Tout en faisant la part de l’exagération naturelle aux amoureux, Elizabeth se disait que tout ce bonheur entrevu n’était pas impossible car il aurait pour base l’excellent jugement et le caractere idéal de Jane, sans compter une parfaite similitude de gouts et de sentiments entre elle et Bingley.
