Never, even in the company of his dear friends at Netherfield, or his dignified relations at Rosings, had she seen him so desirous to please, so free from self-consequence or unbending reserve, as now, when no importance could result from the success of his endeavours, and when even the acquaintance of those to whom his attentions were addressed would draw down the ridicule and censure of the ladies both of Netherfield and Rosings.
Jamais encore dans la société de ses amis de Netherfield ou dans celle de ses nobles parentes de Rosings elle ne l’avait vu si désireux de plaire et si parfaitement exempt de fierté et de raideur.
