Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 24
2/14

Her heart was divided between concern for her sister, and resentment against all others.

To Caroline's assertion of her brother's being partial to Miss Darcy she paid no credit.

That he was really fond of Jane, she doubted no more than she had ever done; and much as she had always been disposed to like him, she could not think without anger, hardly without contempt, on that easiness of temper, that want of proper resolution, which now made him the slave of his designing friends, and led him to sacrifice of his own happiness to the caprice of their inclination.

Had his own happiness, however, been the only sacrifice, he might have been allowed to sport with it in whatever manner he thought best, but her sister's was involved in it, as she thought he must be sensible himself.

It was a subject, in short, on which reflection would be long indulged, and must be unavailing.
