"I am astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have left so small a collection of books. — What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!" 去书内

    Here the novel makes its first reference to Darcy's Pemberley estate. There is a special mention of the library, which is rich in books, and Miss Bingley tells me that Darcy attaches great importance to books. He was not, however, proud of it, owing firstly to the accumulation of several generations, and thirdly to the fact that the publishing and printing of books had reached such an advanced stage that it was only natural in such an age to pay attention to the purchase and collection of books. Elizabeth, who was listening intently to their conversation, could not help but notice that some aspect of Darcy had begun to appeal to her.
