Mr. Gardiner left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his wife received a letter from him; it told them that, on his arrival, he had immediately found out his brother, and persuaded him to come to Gracechurch Street; that Mr. Bennet had been to Epsom and Clapham, before his arrival, but without gaining any satisfactory information; and that he was now determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in town, as Mr. Bennet thought it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first coming to London, before they procured lodgings.
Mr. Gardiner vasárnap utazott el Longbournból; kedden a felesége levelet kapott tőle, amelyben közölte, hogy megérkezése után rögtön felkereste sógorát, és rávette, hogy költözzön hozzájuk a Gracechurch Streetre. Mr. Bennet már előzőleg járt Epsomban és Claphamben, de nem kapott semmiféle kielégítő felvilágosítást.
