It was a rational scheme, to be sure! but from what the report of their engagement could originate, Elizabeth was at a loss to imagine; till she recollected that _his_ being the intimate friend of Bingley, and _her_ being the sister of Jane, was enough, at a time when the expectation of one wedding made everybody eager for another, to supply the idea. She had not herself forgotten to feel that the marriage of her sister must bring them more frequently together.
Il n’y avait la rien qui put étonner de sa part ; mais d’ou cette nouvelle lui était-elle venue, c’est ce qu’Elizabeth n’arrivait pas a s’expliquer. Enfin, l’idée lui vint que le fait qu’elle était la sour de Jane, et Darcy l’ami intime de Bingley, avait pu suffire a faire naître cette supposition, un projet de mariage ne manquant jamais d’en suggérer un autre a l’imagination du public.
