Her astonishment, however, was extreme, and continually was she repeating, "Why is he so altered?
From what can it proceed?
It cannot be for _me_--it cannot be for _my_ sake that his manners are thus softened.

My reproofs at Hunsford could not work such a change as this.

It is impossible that he should still love me." After walking some time in this way, the two ladies in front, the two gentlemen behind, on resuming their places, after descending to the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious water-plant, there chanced to be a little alteration.

It originated in Mrs.Gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found Elizabeth's arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred her husband's.

Mr.Darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on together.
