After an affectionate parting between the friends, Elizabeth was attended to the carriage by Mr. Collins, and as they walked down the garden he was commissioning her with his best respects to all her family, not forgetting his thanks for the kindness he had received at Longbourn in the winter, and his compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, though unknown.
Collins accompagna Elizabeth jusqu’a la voiture, en la chargeant de ses respects pour tous les siens, a quoi il ajouta des remerciements pour la bonté qu’on lui avait témoignée a Longbourn l’hiver précédent et des compliments pour Mr. et Mrs. Gardiner qu’il n’avait jamais vus.
