His present pursuit could not make him forget that Elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention, the first to listen and to pity, the first to be admired; and in his manner of bidding her adieu, wishing her every enjoyment, reminding her of what she was to expect in Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and trusting their opinion of her--their opinion of everybody--would always coincide, there was a solicitude, an interest which she felt must ever attach her to him with a most sincere regard; and she parted from him convinced that, whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable and pleasing.
Ses projets actuels ne pouvaient lui faire oublier qu’Elizabeth avait été la premiere a attirer son attention, la premiere a écouter ses confidences avec sympathie, la premiere a mériter son admiration. Aussi, dans la façon dont il lui souhaita un heureux séjour, en lui rappelant quel genre de personne elle allait trouver en lady Catherine de Bourgh, et en exprimant l’espoir que la comme ailleurs leurs opinions s’accorderaient toujours, il y avait un intéret, une sollicitude a laquelle Elizabeth fut extremement sensible, et, en le quittant, elle garda la conviction que, marié ou célibataire, il resterait toujours a ses yeux le modele de l’homme aimable.
