But his pride, his abominable pride--his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to Jane--his unpardonable assurance in acknowledging, though he could not justify it, and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned Mr. Wickham, his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for a moment excited.
De a fiatalember gőgje, pokoli gőgje, szégyentelen beismerése annak, amit Jane ellen elkövetett, az a megbocsáthatatlan fölény, amellyel bevallotta tettét, bár igazolni nem tudta, a szívtelen hang, ahogyan Wickhamről beszélt, kegyetlensége a fiatalember iránt, melyet tagadni sem próbált - mindez hamar elfojtotta a pillanatnyi szánalmat, melyet Darcy szerelmének gondolata keltett benne.
