She could think of nothing else; and yet whether Bingley's regard had really died away, or were suppressed by his friends' interference; whether he had been aware of Jane's attachment, or whether it had escaped his observation; whatever were the case, though her opinion of him must be materially affected by the difference, her sister's situation remained the same, her peace equally wounded.
Elizabeth másra nem is tudott gondolni: akár elhalványult Bingley szerelme, vagy barátai beavatkozása fojtotta el, akár megérezte Jane vonzalmát, akár elkerülte a figyelmét - bárhogyan áll is a dolog, ez csak Bingley megítélésénél különbség, Jane helyzetén nem változtat semmit; az ő lelki nyugalma így is, úgy is fel van dúlva.
